| | * ftrace: Call ftrace cleanup module notifier after all other notifiersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-02-191-14/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit: c1bf08ac "ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules" changed ftrace module notifier's priority to INT_MAX in order to process the ftrace nops before anything else could touch them (namely kprobes). This was the correct thing to do. Unfortunately, the ftrace module notifier also contains the ftrace clean up code. As opposed to the set up code, this code should be run *after* all the module notifiers have run in case a module is doing correct clean-up and unregisters its ftrace hooks. Basically, ftrace needs to do clean up on module removal, as it needs to know about code being removed so that it doesn't try to modify that code. But after it removes the module from its records, if a ftrace user tries to remove a probe, that removal will fail due as the record of that code segment no longer exists. Nothing really bad happens if the probe removal is called after ftrace did the clean up, but the ftrace removal function will return an error. Correct code (such as kprobes) will produce a WARN_ON() if it fails to remove the probe. As people get annoyed by frivolous warnings, it's best to do the ftrace clean up after everything else. By splitting the ftrace_module_notifier into two notifiers, one that does the module load setup that is run at high priority, and the other that is called for module clean up that is run at low priority, the problem is solved.

The calls are obviously incorrect, and confusing. Other efforts have been made to fix this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/26/367 But the real solution is to rewrite the syscall internals and come up with a fixed solution. One that doesn't require all the kluge that the current solution has. Thus for now, instead of outputting incorrect data, simply ignore them. With this patch the changes now have: #> grep lls /debug/tracing/trace #> Compat system calls simply are not traced. If users need compat syscalls, then they should just use the raw syscall tracepoints. For an architecture to make their compat syscalls ignored, it must define ARCH_TRACE_IGNORE_COMPAT_SYSCALLS (done in asm/ftrace.h) and also define an arch_trace_is_compat_syscall() function that will return true if the current task should ignore tracing the syscall. I want to stress that this change does not affect actual syscalls in any way, shape or form. It is only used within the tracing system and doesn't interfere with the syscall logic at all. The changes are consolidated nicely into trace_syscalls.c and asm/ftrace.h. I had to make one small modification to asm/thread_info.h and that was to remove the include of asm/ftrace.h. As asm/ftrace.h required the current_thread_info() it was causing include hell. That include was added back in 2008 when the function graph tracer was added: commit caf4b323 "tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing" It does not need to be included there.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The text in Documentation said it would be removed in 2.6.41; the text in the Kconfig said removal in the 3.1 release. Either way you look at it, we are well past both, so push it off a cliff. Note that the POWER_CSTATE and the POWER_PSTATE are part of the legacy tracing API. Remove all tracepoints which use these flags. As can be seen from context, most already have a trace entry via trace_cpu_idle anyways. Also, the cpufreq/cpufreq.c PSTATE one is actually unpaired, as compared to the CSTATE ones which all have a clear start/stop. As part of this, the trace_power_frequency also becomes orphaned, so it too is deleted.

All involved parties (PowerTop in particular) seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ... Main tooling side changes: - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim: To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information: $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ] $ perf evlist --group {ref-cycles,cycles} With this example, default perf report will show you each event separately. You can use --group option to enable event group view: $ perf report --group ... # group: {ref-cycles,cycles} # ======== # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }' # Event count (approx.): 6876107743 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ................ ....... ................. .......................... 99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main 0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp 0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del 0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time 0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask 0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe 0.00% 0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock 0.00% 0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of group leader first. - Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim. - Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report, just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current directory will be presented, from Feng Tang. - Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri Olsa. - Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from Stephane Eranian. - Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian. - 'perf test' improvements - Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri Olsa. - Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu. - perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being put in place by organizations such as Fedora. - perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with 'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top' snapshots, etc. - perf top now supports DWARF callchains. - Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller. - 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite - ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for details." * 'perf-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (270 commits) perf/x86/amd: Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h perf/hwbp: Fix cleanup in case of kzalloc failure perf tools: Fix build with bison 2.3 and older. perf tools: Limit unwind support to x86 archs perf annotate: Make it to be able to skip unannotatable symbols perf gtk/annotate: Fail early if it can't annotate perf gtk/annotate: Show source lines with gray color perf gtk/annotate: Support multiple event annotation perf ui/gtk: Implement basic GTK2 annotation browser perf annotate: Fix warning message on a missing vmlinux perf buildid-cache: Add --update option uprobes/perf: Avoid uprobe_apply() whenever possible uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to use UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to pre-filter uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to track the active perf_event's uprobes: Introduce uprobe_apply() perf: Introduce hw_perf_event->tp_target and ->tp_list uprobes/perf: Always increment trace_uprobe->nhit uprobes/tracing: Kill uprobe_trace_consumer, embed uprobe_consumer into trace_uprobe uprobes/tracing: Introduce is_trace_uprobe_enabled() ...

Change this code to initialize everything before uprobe_register(), and reset tu->consumer/flags if it fails. We can't race with event_disable(), the caller holds event_mutex, and if we could the code would be wrong anyway.

Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer. Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the paths to these locations would probably not be possible. By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared, current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be checked in the first place.

This was suitable for a single trace file ("trace"), but to add a snapshot feature that will use the same function for its file, a check against a static variable is not sufficient. To use the output functions for two different files, instead of storing the current tracer in a static variable, as the trace iterator descriptor contains a pointer to the original current tracer's name, that pointer can now be used to check if the current tracer has changed between different reads of the trace file.

The code for the return side of the function has a slight race: ftrace_pop_return_trace(&trace, &ret, frame_pointer); trace.rettime = trace_clock_local(); ftrace_graph_return(&trace); barrier(); current->curr_ret_stack--; The ftrace_pop_return_trace() initializes the trace structure for the callback. The ftrace_graph_return() uses the trace structure for its own use as that structure is on the stack and is local to this function. Then the curr_ret_stack is decremented which is what the trace.depth is set to. If an interrupt comes in after the ftrace_graph_return() but before the curr_ret_stack, then the called function will get a depth of 2. If max_depth is set to 1 this function will be ignored. The problem is that the trace has already been called, and the timestamp for that trace will not reflect the time the function was about to re-enter userspace. Calls to the interrupt will not be traced because the max_depth has prevented this. To solve this issue, the ftrace_graph_return() can safely be moved after the current->curr_ret_stack has been updated. This way the timestamp for the return callback will reflect the actual time. If an interrupt comes in after the curr_ret_stack update and ftrace_graph_return(), it will be traced. It may look a little confusing to see it within the other function, but at least it will not be lost. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The disabling of irqs version and the preempt disable version. As function tracing in very intrusive and can cause nasty recursion issues, it has its own recursion protection. But the old method to do this was a flat layer. If it detected that a recursion was happening then it would just return without recording. This made the preempt version (much faster than the irq disabling one) not very useful, because if an interrupt were to occur after the recursion flag was set, the interrupt would not be traced at all, because every function that was traced would think it recursed on itself (due to the context it preempted setting the recursive flag). Now that we have a recursion flag for every context level, we no longer need to worry about that. We can disable preemption, set the current context recursion check bit, and go on. If an interrupt were to come along, it would check its own context bit and happily continue to trace. As the preempt version is faster than the irq disable version, there's no more reason to keep the preempt version around. And the irq disable version still had an issue with missing out on tracing NMI code. Remove the irq disable function tracer version and have the preempt disable version be the default (and only version). Before this patch we had from running: # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done Time: 12.028 Time: 11.945 Time: 11.925 Time: 11.964 Time: 12.002 Time: 11.910 Time: 11.944 Time: 11.929 Time: 11.941 Time: 11.924 (average: 11.9512) Now we have: # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done Time: 10.285 Time: 10.407 Time: 10.243 Time: 10.372 Time: 10.380 Time: 10.198 Time: 10.272 Time: 10.354 Time: 10.248 Time: 10.253 (average: 10.3012) a 13.8% savings!

If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits. then this function calls... The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to check for recursion. Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls the global list function which calls the ftrace callback all three of these steps will do a recursion protection. There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already did. The recursion that we are protecting against will go through the same steps again. To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current check, then we know that the check was made by the previous caller, and we can skip the current check.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently for recursion checking in the function tracer, ftrace tests a task_struct bit to determine if the function tracer had recursed or not. If it has, then it will will return without going further. But this leads to races. If an interrupt came in after the bit was set, the functions being traced would see that bit set and think that the function tracer recursed on itself, and would return. Instead add a bit for each context (normal, softirq, irq and nmi). A check of which context the task is in is made before testing the associated bit. Now if an interrupt preempts the function tracer after the previous context has been set, the interrupt functions can still be traced. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * | ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loopSteven Rostedt2013-01-231-22/+26

That is, gcc will optimize a loop for either no iterations or more than one iteration. But usually only a single callback is registered to the function tracer, thus the optimized case should be a single pass. to do this we now do: op = rcu_dereference_raw(list); do { [...] } while (likely(op = rcu_dereference_raw((op)->next)) && unlikely((op) != &ftrace_list_end)); An op is always registered (ftrace_list_end when no callbacks is registered), thus when a single callback is registered, the link list looks like: top => callback => ftrace_list_end => NULL. The likely(op = op->next) still must be performed due to the race of removing the callback, where the first op assignment could equal ftrace_list_end. In that case, the op->next would be NULL. But this is unlikely (only happens in a race condition when removing the callback). But it is very likely that the next op would be ftrace_list_end, unless more than one callback has been registered. This tells gcc what the most common case is and makes the fast path with the least amount of branches. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Currently the test wrongly fails for archs that don't support all the ftrace features. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * | tracing: Fix race with max_tr and changing tracersSteven Rostedt2013-01-231-7/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a race condition between the setting of a new tracer and the update of the max trace buffers (the swap). When a new tracer is added, it sets current_trace to nop_trace before disabling the old tracer. At this moment, if the old tracer uses update_max_tr(), the update may trigger the warning against !current_trace->use_max-tr, as nop_trace doesn't have that set. As update_max_tr() requires that interrupts be disabled, we can add a check to see if current_trace == nop_trace and bail if it does. Then when disabling the current_trace, set it to nop_trace and run synchronize_sched(). This will make sure all calls to update_max_tr() have completed (it was called with interrupts disabled). As a clean up, this commit also removes shrinking and recreating the max_tr buffer if the old and new tracers both have use_max_tr set. The old way use to always shrink the buffer, and then expand it for the next tracer. This is a waste of time. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| * | tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in eventsSteven Rostedt2013-01-222-2/+0

(commit e6e1e2593 "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry") Because this broke userspace, it was determined that we must keep those 4 bytes around. (commit a3a4a5acd "Regression: partial revert "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry"") This unfortunately wastes space in the ring buffer. 4 bytes per event, where a lot of events are just 24 bytes. That's 16% of the buffer wasted. A million events will add 4 megs of white space into the buffer. It was later noticed that PowerTop v2beta could not work on systems where the kernel was 64 bit but the userspace was 32 bits. The reason was because the offsets are different between the two and the hard coded offset of one would not work with the other. With PowerTop v2 final, it implemented the same interface that both perf and trace-cmd use. That is, it reads the format file of the event to find the offsets of the fields it needs. This fixes the problem with running powertop on a 32 bit userspace running on a 64 bit kernel. It also no longer requires the 4 byte padding. As PowerTop v2 has been out for a while, and is included in all major distributions, it is time that we can safely remove the 4 bytes of padding. Users of PowerTop v2beta should upgrade to PowerTop v2 final.

A very useful operation is to set the depth to 1. Then it traces only the first function that is called when entering the kernel. This can be used to determine what system operations interrupt a process. For example, to work on NOHZ processes (single tasks running without a timer tick), if any interrupt goes off and preempts that task, this code will show it happening. # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > max_graph_depth # echo function_graph > current_tracer # cat per_cpu/cpu/<cpu-of-process>/trace Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
