* tracing/ftrace: change the type of the init() callbackFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-1613-24/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed. A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie: -ENOMEM) if it fails. If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the error from the init callback. Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

* tracing/ftrace: fix unexpected -EINVAL when longest tracer name is setFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-161-5/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix confusing write() -EINVAL when changing the tracer The following commit d9e540762f5cdd89f24e518ad1fd31142d0b9726 remade alive the bug which made the set of a new tracer returning -EINVAL if this is the longest name of tracer.

* ftrace: make filtered functions effective on settingSteven Rostedt2008-11-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: set filtered functions at time the filter is set It can be confusing when the set_filter_functions is set (or cleared) and the functions being recorded by the dynamic tracer does not match. This patch causes the code to be updated if the function tracer is enabled and the filter is changed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* ftrace: fix dyn ftrace filterSteven Rostedt2008-11-161-47/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: correct implementation of dyn ftrace filter The old decisions made by the filter algorithm was complex and incorrect. This lead to inconsistent enabling or disabling of functions when the filter was used. This patch simplifies that code and in doing so, corrects the usage of the filters.

* ftrace: allow NULL pointers in mcount_locSteven Rostedt2008-11-161-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: make ftrace_convert_nops() more permissive Due to the way different architecture linkers combine the data sections of the mcount_loc (the section that lists all the locations that call mcount), there may be zeros added in that section. This is usually due to strange alignments that the linker performs, that pads in zeros. This patch makes the conversion code to nops skip any pointer in the mcount_loc section that is NULL.

* ftrace: pass module struct to arch dynamic ftrace functionsSteven Rostedt2008-11-161-38/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: allow archs more flexibility on dynamic ftrace implementations Dynamic ftrace has largly been developed on x86. Since x86 does not have the same limitations as other architectures, the ftrace interaction between the generic code and the architecture specific code was not flexible enough to handle some of the issues that other architectures have. Most notably, module trampolines. Due to the limited branch distance that archs make in calling kernel core code from modules, the module load code must create a trampoline to jump to what will make the larger jump into core kernel code. The problem arises when this happens to a call to mcount. Ftrace checks all code before modifying it and makes sure the current code is what it expects. Right now, there is not enough information to handle modifying module trampolines. This patch changes the API between generic dynamic ftrace code and the arch dependent code. There is now two functions for modifying code: ftrace_make_nop(mod, rec, addr) - convert the code at rec->ip into a nop, where the original text is calling addr. (mod is the module struct if called by module init) ftrace_make_caller(rec, addr) - convert the code rec->ip that should be a nop into a caller to addr. The record "rec" now has a new field called "arch" where the architecture can add any special attributes to each call site record.

* ftrace: replace raw_local_irq_save with local_irq_saveSteven Rostedt2008-11-162-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix lockdep disabling itself when function tracing is enabled The raw_local_irq_saves used in ftrace is causing problems with lockdep. (it thinks the irq flags are out of sync and disables itself with a warning) The raw ops here are not needed, and the normal local_irq_save is fine.

* ftrace: do not process freed recordsSteven Rostedt2008-11-161-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: keep from converting freed records When the tracer is started or stopped, it converts all code pointed to by the saved records into callers to ftrace or nops. When modules are unloaded, their records are freed, but they still exist within the record pages. This patch changes the code to skip over freed records.

* ftrace: disable ftrace on anomalies in trace start and stopSteven Rostedt2008-11-161-37/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: robust feature to disable ftrace on start or stop tracing on error Currently only the initial conversion to nops will disable ftrace on an anomaly. But if an anomaly happens on start or stopping of the tracer, it will silently fail. This patch adds a check there too, to disable ftrace and warn if the conversion fails.

* ftrace: remove condition from ftrace_record_ipSteven Rostedt2008-11-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: let module functions be recorded when dyn ftrace not enabled When dynamic ftrace had a daemon and a hash to record the locations of mcount callers at run time, the recording needed to stop when ftrace was disabled. But now that the recording is done at compile time and the ftrace_record_ip is only called at boot up and when a module is loaded, we no longer need to check if ftrace_enabled is set. In fact, this breaks module load if it is not set because we skip over module functions. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pekka reported a crash when resizing the mmiotrace tracer (if only mmiotrace is enabled).

| * | ftrace: CPU buffer start annotation clean upsSteven Rostedt2008-11-132-1/+16

Kernel developers were confused by the "missing" data of that one CPU at the beginning of the trace output. An annotation was added to the trace output to show that the buffer had started: # tracer: function # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | ##### CPU 3 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [003] 158.192959: smp_apic_timer_interrupt [...] <idle>-0 [003] 161.556520: default_idle ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 161.592494: hrtimer_force_reprogram [etc] But this annotation gets a bit messy when tracers do not fill the buffers. This patch does a couple of things: One) it adds a flag to trace_options to disable these annotations Two) it does not annotate if the tracer did not overflow its buffer. This makes the output much cleaner. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: rename of debugfs file trace_entries to buffer_size_kb The original ftrace had fixed size entries, and the number of entries was shown and modified via the file called trace_entries. By converting to the unified trace buffer, we now allow for variable size entries which makes the meaning of trace_entries pointless. Since trace_size might be confused to the size of the trace, this patch names it "buffer_size_kb" (thanks to Arjan van de Ven for this idea).

But it is a bug to call it with preemption enabled.

Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up the following ideas from: 1) Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values. 2) Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers. 3) Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely annotations from vsyscall_64.c. Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar for their feed back on this patch. (*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls (a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the ring buffer timestamp of both. An example trace: [ 27.904149584] calling net_ns_init+0x0/0x1c0 @ 1 [ 27.904429624] initcall net_ns_init+0x0/0x1c0 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.904575926] calling reboot_init+0x0/0x20 @ 1 [ 27.904655399] initcall reboot_init+0x0/0x20 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.904800228] calling sysctl_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.905142914] initcall sysctl_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.905287211] calling ksysfs_init+0x0/0xb0 @ 1 ##### CPU 0 buffer started #### init-1 [000] 27.905395: 1:120:R + [001] 11:115:S ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 27.905425: 0:140:R ==> [001] 11:115:R init-1 [000] 27.905426: 1:120:D ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905431: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905451: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905456: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905458: 11:115:R + [001] 14:115:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905459: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905462: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905462: 11:115:R ==> [001] 14:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905467: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905470: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905473: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905476: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905479: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905482: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905486: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-14 [001] 27.905499: 14:120:X ==> [001] 11:115:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905506: 11:115:R + [000] 1:120:D <idle>-0 [000] 27.905515: 0:140:R ==> [000] 1:120:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905517: 11:115:S ==> [001] 0:140:R [ 27.905557107] initcall ksysfs_init+0x0/0xb0 returned 0 after 3906 msecs [ 27.905705736] calling init_jiffies_clocksource+0x0/0x10 @ 1 [ 27.905779239] initcall init_jiffies_clocksource+0x0/0x10 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.906769814] calling pm_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.906853627] initcall pm_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.906997803] calling pm_disk_init+0x0/0x20 @ 1 [ 27.907076946] initcall pm_disk_init+0x0/0x20 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907222556] calling swsusp_header_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.907294325] initcall swsusp_header_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907439620] calling stop_machine_init+0x0/0x50 @ 1 init-1 [000] 27.907485: 1:120:R + [000] 2:115:S init-1 [000] 27.907490: 1:120:D ==> [000] 2:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907507: 2:115:R + [001] 15:115:R <idle>-0 [001] 27.907517: 0:140:R ==> [001] 15:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907517: 2:115:D ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.907521: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.907524: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R udevd-15 [001] 27.907527: 15:115:D + [000] 2:115:D ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.907537: 4:115:S ==> [000] 2:115:R udevd-15 [001] 27.907537: 15:115:D ==> [001] 0:140:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907546: 2:115:R + [000] 1:120:D kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907550: 2:115:S ==> [000] 1:120:R init-1 [000] 27.907584: 1:120:R + [000] 15: 0:D init-1 [000] 27.907589: 1:120:R + [000] 2:115:S init-1 [000] 27.907593: 1:120:D ==> [000] 15: 0:R udevd-15 [000] 27.907601: 15: 0:S ==> [000] 2:115:R ##### CPU 0 buffer started #### kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907616: 2:115:R + [001] 16:115:R ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 27.907620: 0:140:R ==> [001] 16:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907621: 2:115:D ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-16 [001] 27.907625: 16:115:D + [000] 2:115:D <idle>-0 [000] 27.907628: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S udevd-16 [001] 27.907629: 16:115:D ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.907631: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.907636: 4:115:S ==> [000] 2:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907644: 2:115:R + [000] 1:120:D kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907647: 2:115:S ==> [000] 1:120:R init-1 [000] 27.907657: 1:120:R + [001] 16: 0:D <idle>-0 [001] 27.907666: 0:140:R ==> [001] 16: 0:R [ 27.907703862] initcall stop_machine_init+0x0/0x50 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907850704] calling filelock_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.907926573] initcall filelock_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.908071327] calling init_script_binfmt+0x0/0x10 @ 1 [ 27.908165195] initcall init_script_binfmt+0x0/0x10 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.908309461] calling init_elf_binfmt+0x0/0x10 @ 1 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the ring buffers called: tracing_on() tracing_off() When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record into their buffers. tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again. These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called. A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called tracing_on This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch. echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on disables the tracing. echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on enables it. Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers. The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled. There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers: tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers. buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled. cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if an anomaly occurred. The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel called tracing_stop(). Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it. It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit. tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace can reenable it at any time. Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

| | * ring-buffer: prevent infinite looping on time stampingSteven Rostedt2008-11-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: removal of unnecessary looping The lockless part of the ring buffer allows for reentry into the code from interrupts. A timestamp is taken, a test is preformed and if it detects that an interrupt occurred that did tracing, it tries again. The problem arises if the timestamp code itself causes a trace. The detection will detect this and loop again. The difference between this and an interrupt doing tracing, is that this will fail every time, and cause an infinite loop. Currently, we test if the loop happens 1000 times, and if so, it will produce a warning and disable the ring buffer. The problem with this approach is that it makes it difficult to perform some types of tracing (tracing the timestamp code itself). Each trace entry has a delta timestamp from the previous entry. If a trace entry is reserved but and interrupt occurs and traces before the previous entry is commited, the delta timestamp for that entry will be zero. This actually makes sense in terms of tracing, because the interrupt entry happened before the preempted entry was commited, so one may consider the two happening at the same time. The order is still preserved in the buffer. With this idea, instead of trying to get a new timestamp if an interrupt made it in between the timestamp and the test, the entry could simply make the delta zero and continue. This will prevent interrupts or tracers in the timer code from causing the above loop. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| | * ftrace: disable tracing on resizeSteven Rostedt2008-11-111-1/+16

* | | ftrace: display start of CPU buffer in trace outputSteven Rostedt2008-11-082-0/+21

If one CPU is very active at the end of the trace, its history will not go as far back as the other CPU traces. This means that output for a particular CPU may not appear for the first part of a trace. To help annotate what is happening, and to prevent any more confusion, this patch adds a line that annotates the start of a CPU buffer output. For example: automount-3495 [001] 184.596443: dnotify_parent <-vfs_write [...] automount-3495 [001] 184.596449: dput <-path_put automount-3496 [002] 184.596450: down_read_trylock <-do_page_fault [...] sshd-3497 [001] 184.597069: up_read <-do_page_fault <idle>-0 [000] 184.597074: __exit_idle <-exit_idle [...] automount-3496 [002] 184.597257: filemap_fault <-__do_fault <idle>-0 [003] 184.597261: exit_idle <-smp_apic_timer_interrupt Note, parsers of a trace output should always ignore any lines that start with a '#'.

* | | ftrace: irqsoff tracer incorrect resetSteven Rostedt2008-11-081-1/+0

The reset that the irqsoff stop method calls disables the function tracing. That means that, by starting the tracer, the function tracer is disabled incorrectly. This patch simply removes the call to reset which keeps the function tracing enabled. Reset is not needed for the irqsoff stop method.
