2012-07-27powerpc/ftrace: Trace function graph entry before updating indexSteven Rostedt
As Colin Cross ported my x86 change to ARM, he also pointed out that powerpc is also behind in this fix. The commit 722b3c746953 "ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before updating index" fixes an issue with function graph tracing for x86, where if the called entry function decides not to trace interrupts, it can fail the check if an interrupt comes in just after the curr_ret_stack is updated. The solution is to call the entry function first, then update the curr_ret_stack if the entry function wants to be traced.

2012-07-03powerpc/ftrace: Use patch_instruction instead of probe_kernel_write()Steven Rostedt

2012-07-03powerpc/ftrace: Have PPC skip updating with stop_machine()Steven Rostedt
PowerPC does not have the synchronization issues that x86 has with modifying code on one CPU while another CPU is executing it. The other CPU will either see the old or new code without any issues, unlike x86 which may issue a GPF. Instead of calling the heavy stop_machine, just update the code.

2011-05-26powerpc/ftrace: Implement raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPCIan Munsie
This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports them for ftrace syscalls to use. To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the _TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing is enabled. In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that start with a period.

2009-06-18function-graph: add stack frame testSteven Rostedt
In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return from function code, we would like to detect that. An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

2009-05-18powerpc/ftrace: Fix constraint to be early clobberSteven Rostedt
After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes. The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had to be flagged as an "early clobber". I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about. We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already have.

2009-02-23powerpc, ftrace: use create_branch lib functionSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up, remove duplicate code When ftrace was first ported to PowerPC, there existed a create_function_call that would create the instruction to make a call to a given address. Unfortunately, this call expected to write to the address it was given, and since it used the address to calculate the offset, it could not be faked. ftrace needed a way to create the instruction without actually writing that instruction to the text section. So ftrace had to implement its own code. Now we have create_branch in the code patching library, which does exactly what ftrace needs. This patch replaces ftrace's implementation with the library function. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2009-02-23powerpc, ftrace: use unsigned int for instruction manipulationSteven Rostedt
The original port of ftrace to PowerPC kept a lot of the code used by x86. Some of this code was to handle x86's 5 byte instruction. This was handled by using character arrays to manipulate the code. PowerPC has a consistent 4 byte instruction. Using unsigned ints makes the code more efficient as well as more readable. By converting to use unsigned ints to represent instructions, I was able to remove the side effects that were needed for manipulating character strings. i.e. memcpy and memcmp Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

2009-02-23powerpc64, ftrace: save toc only on modules for function graphSteven Rostedt
The TOCS used by modules are different than the one used by the core kernel code. The function graph tracer must save and restore the TOC whenever it traces a module call. But this is an added overhead to burden the majority of core kernel code being traced. Benjamin Herrenschmidt suggested in testing the entry of the call to tell if it is a core kernel function or a module. He recommended using the REGION_ID() macro to perform this test. This patch implements Benjamin's idea, and uses a different return_to_handler routine dependent on if the entry is a core kernel function or not. The module version saves the TOC, where as the core kernel version does not. Geoff Lavand tested on PS3.
