From 0f5e5a3ab7fa1c09370a4d709ad6157457d5b8b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2019 09:17:57 +0100 Subject: tracing: Eliminate const char[] auto variables Automatic const char[] variables cause unnecessary code generation. For example, the this_mod variable leads to 3f04: 48 b8 5f 5f 74 68 69 73 5f 6d movabs $0x6d5f736968745f5f,%rax # __this_m 3f0e: 4c 8d 44 24 02 lea 0x2(%rsp),%r8 3f13: 48 8d 7c 24 10 lea 0x10(%rsp),%rdi 3f18: 48 89 44 24 02 mov %rax,0x2(%rsp) 3f1d: 4c 89 e9 mov %r13,%rcx 3f20: b8 65 00 00 00 mov $0x65,%eax # e 3f25: 48 c7 c2 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%rdx 3f28: R_X86_64_32S .rodata.str1.1+0x18d 3f2c: be 48 00 00 00 mov $0x48,%esi 3f31: c7 44 24 0a 6f 64 75 6c movl $0x6c75646f,0xa(%rsp) # odul 3f39: 66 89 44 24 0e mov %ax,0xe(%rsp) i.e., the string gets built on the stack at runtime. Similar code can be found for the other instances I'm replacing here. Putting the string in .rodata reduces the combined .text+.rodata size and saves time and stack space at runtime. The simplest fix, and what I've done for the this_mod case, is to just make the variable static. However, for the "" case where the same string is used twice, that prevents the linker from merging those two literals, so instead use a macro - that also keeps the two instances automatically in sync (instead of only the compile-time strlen expression). Finally, for the two runs of spaces, it turns out that the "build these strings on the stack" is not the worst part of what gcc does - it turns print_func_help_header_irq() into "if (tgid) { /* print_event_info + five seq_printf calls */ } else { /* print event_info + another five seq_printf */}". Taking inspiration from a suggestion from Al Viro, use %.*s to make snprintf either stop after the first two spaces or print the whole string. As a bonus, the seq_printfs now fit on single lines (at least, they are not longer than the existing ones in the function just above), making it easier to see that the ascii art lines up. x86-64 defconfig + CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER: $ scripts/stackdelta /tmp/stackusage.{0,1} ./kernel/trace/ftrace.c ftrace_mod_callback 152 136 -16 ./kernel/trace/trace.c trace_default_header 56 32 -24 ./kernel/trace/trace.c tracing_mark_raw_write 96 72 -24 ./kernel/trace/trace.c tracing_mark_write 104 80 -24 bloat-o-meter add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/4 up/down: 14/-375 (-361) Function old new delta this_mod - 14 +14 ftrace_mod_callback 577 542 -35 tracing_mark_raw_write 444 374 -70 tracing_mark_write 616 540 -76 trace_default_header 600 406 -194 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190320081757.6037-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) --- kernel/trace/ftrace.c | 2 +- kernel/trace/trace.c | 34 +++++++++++++--------------------- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c index 433a64f49532..7765a53f1006 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c @@ -3875,7 +3875,7 @@ static int ftrace_hash_move_and_update_ops(struct ftrace_ops *ops, static bool module_exists(const char *module) { /* All modules have the symbol __this_module */ - const char this_mod[] = "__this_module"; + static const char this_mod[] = "__this_module"; char modname[MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN + sizeof(this_mod) + 2]; unsigned long val; int n; diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace.c b/kernel/trace/trace.c index dcb9adb44be9..3259019cc66d 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace.c @@ -3593,25 +3593,18 @@ static void print_func_help_header_irq(struct trace_buffer *buf, struct seq_file unsigned int flags) { bool tgid = flags & TRACE_ITER_RECORD_TGID; - const char tgid_space[] = " "; - const char space[] = " "; + const char *space = " "; + int prec = tgid ? 10 : 2; print_event_info(buf, m); - seq_printf(m, "# %s _-----=> irqs-off\n", - tgid ? tgid_space : space); - seq_printf(m, "# %s / _----=> need-resched\n", - tgid ? tgid_space : space); - seq_printf(m, "# %s| / _---=> hardirq/softirq\n", - tgid ? tgid_space : space); - seq_printf(m, "# %s|| / _--=> preempt-depth\n", - tgid ? tgid_space : space); - seq_printf(m, "# %s||| / delay\n", - tgid ? tgid_space : space); - seq_printf(m, "# TASK-PID %sCPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION\n", - tgid ?
