2010-06-03tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enableSteven Rostedt
The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

2010-05-14tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacksSteven Rostedt
This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks. The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data parameter. For example: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value) Will create the register function: int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe, void *data); As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data) parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like: void myprobe(void *data, int value) { } The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter. This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along with the function probe. void mycallback(void *data, int value); register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata); Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter before the args. A more detailed example: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status)); /* In the C file */ DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status)); [...] trace_mytracepoint(status); /* In a file registering this tracepoint */ int my_callback(void *data, int status) { struct my_struct my_data = data; [...] } [...] my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL); init_my_data(my_data); register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data); The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used to unregister the callback: unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data); Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have no args. That is: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS()); will cause an error. If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead: DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint); Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out. This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4914025 1088868 861512 6864405 68be15 vmlinux.class 4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepoint Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but lays the ground work for decreasing it. v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates. v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes. Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out. v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument. This makes the calling functions comply with C standards. Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE(). v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that do not need any arguments.

2010-04-27tracing: Fix sleep time function profilingSteven Rostedt
When sleep_time is off the function profiler ignores the time that a task is scheduled out. When the task is scheduled out a timestamp is taken. When the task is scheduled back in, the timestamp is compared to the current time and the saved calltimes are adjusted accordingly. But when stopping the function profiler, the sched switch hook that does this adjustment was stopped before shutting down the tracer. This allowed some tasks to not get their timestamps set when they scheduled out. When the function profiler started again, this would skew the times of the scheduler functions. This patch moves the stopping of the sched switch to after the function profiler is stopped. It also ignores zero set calltimes, which may happen on start up.

2010-04-27tracing: Show sample std dev in function profilingChase Douglas
When combined with function graph tracing the ftrace function profiler also prints the average run time of functions. While this gives us some good information, it doesn't tell us anything about the variance of the run times of the function. This change prints out the s^2 sample standard deviation alongside the average. This change adds one entry to the profile record structure. This increases the memory footprint of the function profiler by 1/3 on a 32-bit system, and by 1/5 on a 64-bit system when function graphing is enabled, though the memory is only allocated when the profiler is turned on. During the profiling, one extra line of code adds the squared calltime to the new record entry, so this should not adversly affect performance. Note that the square of the sample standard deviation is printed because there is no sqrt implementation for unsigned long long in the kernel.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-12function-graph: Init curr_ret_stack with ret_stackSteven Rostedt
If the graph tracer is active, and a task is forked but the allocating of the processes graph stack fails, it can cause crash later on. This is due to the temporary stack being NULL, but the curr_ret_stack variable is copied from the parent. If it is not -1, then in ftrace_graph_probe_sched_switch() the following: for (index = next->curr_ret_stack; index >= 0; index--) next->ret_stack[index].calltime += timestamp; Will cause a kernel OOPS.

Replace the calls to read_barrier_depends() in ftrace_list_func() with rcu_dereference_raw() to improve readability. The reason that we use rcu_dereference_raw() here is that removed entries are never freed, instead they are simply leaked. This is one of a very few cases where use of rcu_dereference_raw() is the long-term right answer. And I don't yet know of any others. ;-) Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2010-03-05function-graph: Fix unused reference to ftrace_set_func()Steven Rostedt
The declaration of ftrace_set_func() is at the start of the ftrace.c file and wrapped with a #ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH condition. If function graph tracing is enabled but CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not, a warning about that function being declared static and unused is given. This really should have been placed within the CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH condition that uses ftrace_set_func(). Moving the declaration down fixes the warning and makes the code cleaner.

Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace. Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text modifier, like kprobes. This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers should avoid those.

Add a command line parameter to allow limiting the function graphs that are traced on boot up from the given top-level callers , when ftrace=function_graph is specified. This patch adds the following command line option: ftrace_graph_filter=function-list Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.

2009-10-07ftrace: check for failure for all conversionsSteven Rostedt
Due to legacy code from back when the dynamic tracer used a daemon, only core kernel code was checking for failures. This is no longer the case. We must check for failures any time we perform text modifications. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-10-07tracing: correct module boundaries for ftrace_releasejolsa@redhat.com
When the module is about the unload we release its call records. The ftrace_release function was given wrong values representing the module core boundaries, thus not releasing its call records. Plus making ftrace_release function module specific.

2009-10-01tracing: Fix infinite recursion in ftrace_update_pid_func()Matt Fleming
When CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is enabled __ftrace_trace_function contains the current trace function, not ftrace_trace_function. In ftrace_update_pid_func() we currently incorrectly assign the value of ftrace_trace_function to __ftrace_trace_funcion before returning. Without this patch it is possible to execute an infinite recursion whereby ftrace_test_stop_func() calls __ftrace_trace_function, which was assigned ftrace_test_stop_func() in ftrace_update_pid_func().

2009-09-24tracing/filters: Unify the regex parsing helpersFrederic Weisbecker
The filter code has stolen the regex parsing function from ftrace to get the regex support. We have duplicated this code, so factorize it in the filter area and make it generally available, as the filter code is the most suited to host this feature.
