2012-05-16ring-buffer: Make addition of pages in ring buffer atomicVaibhav Nagarnaik
This patch adds the capability to add new pages to a ring buffer atomically while write operations are going on. This makes it possible to expand the ring buffer size without reinitializing the ring buffer. The new pages are attached between the head page and its previous page.

2012-05-16ring-buffer: Make removal of ring buffer pages atomicVaibhav Nagarnaik
This patch adds the capability to remove pages from a ring buffer without destroying any existing data in it. This is done by removing the pages after the tail page. This makes sure that first all the empty pages in the ring buffer are removed. If the head page is one in the list of pages to be removed, then the page after the removed ones is made the head page. This removes the oldest data from the ring buffer and keeps the latest data around to be read. To do this in a non-racey manner, tracing is stopped for a very short time while the pages to be removed are identified and unlinked from the ring buffer. The pages are freed after the tracing is restarted to minimize the time needed to stop tracing. The context in which the pages from the per-cpu ring buffer are removed runs on the respective CPU. This minimizes the events not traced to only NMI trace contexts.

2012-05-16tracing: Clean up tracing_mark_write()Steven Rostedt
On gcc 4.5 the function tracing_mark_write() would give a warning of page2 being uninitialized. This is due to a bug in gcc because the logic prevents page2 from being used uninitialized, and gcc 4.6+ does not complain (correctly). Instead of adding a "unitialized" around page2, which could show a bug later on, I combined page1 and page2 into an array map_pages[]. This binds the two and the two are modified according to nr_pages (what gcc 4.5 seems to ignore). This no longer gives a warning with gcc 4.5 nor with gcc 4.6.

2012-05-08tracing: Remove ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()Steven Rostedt
The ftrace_disable_cpu() and ftrace_enable_cpu() functions were needed back before the ring buffer was lockless. Now that the ring buffer is lockless (and has been for some time), these functions serve no purpose, and unnecessarily slow down operations of the tracer.

2012-04-23ring-buffer: Add per_cpu ring buffer control filesVaibhav Nagarnaik
Add a debugfs entry under per_cpu/ folder for each cpu called buffer_size_kb to control the ring buffer size for each CPU independently. If the global file buffer_size_kb is used to set size, the individual ring buffers will be adjusted to the given size. The buffer_size_kb will report the common size to maintain backward compatibility. If the buffer_size_kb file under the per_cpu/ directory is used to change buffer size for a specific CPU, only the size of the respective ring buffer is updated. When tracing/buffer_size_kb is read, it reports 'X' to indicate that sizes of per_cpu ring buffers are not equivalent.

2012-04-23tracing: Add percpu buffers for trace_printk()Steven Rostedt
Currently, trace_printk() uses a single buffer to write into to calculate the size and format needed to save the trace. To do this safely in an SMP environment, a spin_lock() is taken to only allow one writer at a time to the buffer. But this could also affect what is being traced, and add synchronization that would not be there otherwise. Ideally, using percpu buffers would be useful, but since trace_printk() is only used in development, having per cpu buffers for something never used is a waste of space. Thus, the use of the trace_bprintk() format section is changed to be used for static fmts as well as dynamic ones. Then at boot up, we can check if the section that holds the trace_printk formats is non-empty, and if it does contain something, then we know a trace_printk() has been added to the kernel. At this time the trace_printk per cpu buffers are allocated. A check is also done at module load time in case a module is added that contains a trace_printk(). Once the buffers are allocated, they are never freed. If you use a trace_printk() then you should know what you are doing. A buffer is made for each type of context: normal softirq irq nmi The context is checked and the appropriate buffer is used. This allows for totally lockless usage of trace_printk(), and they no longer even disable interrupts.

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

2012-03-27tracing: Fix ent_size in trace outputSteven Rostedt
When reading the trace file, the records of each of the per_cpu buffers are examined to find the next event to print out. At the point of looking at the event, the size of the event is recorded. But if the first event is chosen, the other events in the other CPU buffers will reset the event size that is stored in the iterator descriptor, causing the event size passed to the output functions to be incorrect. In most cases this is not a problem, but for the case of stack traces, it is. With the change to the stack tracing to record a dynamic number of back traces, the output depends on the size of the entry instead of the fixed 8 back traces. When the entry size is not correct, the back traces would not be fully printed. Note, reading from the per-cpu trace files were not affected.

2012-03-13ftrace: Fix function_graph for archs that test ftrace_trace_functionRajesh Bhagat
When CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set, some archs (ARM) test the variable function_trace_function to determine if it should call the function tracer. If it is not set to ftrace_stub, then it will call the function and return, and not call the function graph tracer. But some of these archs (ARM) do not have the assembly code to test if function tracing is enabled or not (quick stop of tracing) and it calls the helper routine ftrace_test_stop_func() instead. If function tracer is enabled and then disabled, the variable ftrace_trace_function is still set to the helper routine ftrace_test_stop_func(), and not to ftrace_stub. This will prevent the function graph tracer from ever running.

Adding support to filter function trace event via perf interface. It is now possible to use filter interface in the perf tool like: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter="(ip == mm_*)" ls The filter syntax is restricted to the the 'ip' field only, and following operators are accepted '==' '!=' '||', ending up with the filter strings like: ip == f1[, ]f2 ... || ip != f3[, ]f4 ... with comma ',' or space ' ' as a function separator. If the space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_filter file. The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_notrace file. The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space. The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions together. It is possible to have more than one '==' and '!=' operators within one filter string.

The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered in open/close actions. To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers). This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running. Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops.

2011-12-21tracing: Factorize filter creationTejun Heo
There are four places where new filter for a given filter string is created, which involves several different steps. This patch factors those steps into create_[system_]filter() functions which in turn make use of create_filter_{start|finish}() for common parts. The only functional change is that if replace_filter_string() is requested and fails, creation fails without any side effect instead of being ignored. Note that system filter is now installed after the processing is complete which makes freeing before and then restoring filter string on error unncessary. -v2: Rebased to resolve conflict with 49aa29513e and updated both create_filter() functions to always set *filterp instead of requiring the caller to clear it to %NULL on entry.

2011-12-21tracing: Have stack tracing set filtered functions at bootSteven Rostedt
Add stacktrace_filter= to the kernel command line that lets the user pick specific functions to check the stack on. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-21ftrace: Allow access to the boot time function enablingSteven Rostedt
Change set_ftrace_early_filter() to ftrace_set_early_filter() and make it a global function. This will allow other subsystems in the kernel to be able to enable function tracing at start up and reuse the ftrace function parsing code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-21tracing: Have stack_tracer use a separate list of functionsSteven Rostedt
The stack_tracer is used to look at every function and check if the current stack is bigger than the last recorded max stack size. When a new max is found, then it saves that stack off. Currently the stack tracer is limited by the global_ops of the function tracer. As the stack tracer has nothing to do with the ftrace function tracer, except that it uses it as its internal engine, the stack tracer should have its own list. A new file is added to the tracing debugfs directory called: stack_trace_filter that can be used to select which functions you want to check the stack on.

2011-12-21ftrace: Decouple hash items from showing filtered functionsSteven Rostedt
The set_ftrace_filter shows "hashed" functions, which are functions that are added with operations to them (like traceon and traceoff). As other subsystems may be able to show what functions they are using for function tracing, the hash items should no longer be shown just because the FILTER flag is set. As they have nothing to do with other subsystems filters. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-21ftrace: Allow other users of function tracing to use the output listingSteven Rostedt
The function tracer is set up to allow any other subsystem (like perf) to use it. Ftrace already has a way to list what functions are enabled by the global_ops. It would be very helpful to let other users of the function tracer to be able to use the same code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-21ftrace: Create ftrace_hash_empty() helper routineSteven Rostedt
There are two types of hashes in the ftrace_ops; one type is the filter_hash and the other is the notrace_hash. Either one may be null, meaning it has no elements. But when elements are added, the hash is allocated. Throughout the code, a check needs to be made to see if a hash exists or the hash has elements, but the check if the hash exists is usually missing causing the possible "NULL pointer dereference bug". Add a helper routine called "ftrace_hash_empty()" that returns true if the hash doesn't exist or its count is zero. As they mean the same thing.

2011-12-21ftrace: Fix ftrace hash record update with notraceSteven Rostedt
When disabling the "notrace" records, that means we want to trace them. If the notrace_hash is zero, it means that we want to trace all records. But to disable a zero notrace_hash means nothing. The check for the notrace_hash count was incorrect with: if (hash && !hash->count) return With the correct comment above it that states that we do nothing if the notrace_hash has zero count. But !hash also means that the notrace hash has zero count. I think this was done to protect against dereferencing NULL. But if !hash is true, then we go through the following loop without doing a single thing. Fix it to: if (!hash || !hash->count) return; Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-21ftrace: Use bsearch to find record ipSteven Rostedt
Now that each set of pages in the function list are sorted by ip, we can use bsearch to find a record within each set of pages. This speeds up the ftrace_location() function by magnitudes. For archs (like x86) that need to add a breakpoint at every function that will be converted from a nop to a callback and vice versa, the breakpoint callback needs to know if the breakpoint was for ftrace or not. It requires finding the breakpoint ip within the records. Doing a linear search is extremely inefficient. It is a must to be able to do a fast binary search to find these locations.

2011-12-21ftrace: Sort the mcount records on each pageSteven Rostedt
Sort records by ip locations of the ftrace mcount calls on each of the set of pages in the function list. This helps in localizing cache usuage when updating the function locations, as well as gives us the ability to quickly find an ip location in the list.

2011-12-21ftrace: Replace record newlist with record page listSteven Rostedt
As new functions come in to be initalized from mcount to nop, they are done by groups of pages. Whether it is the core kernel or a module. There's no need to keep track of these on a per record basis. At startup, and as any module is loaded, the functions to be traced are stored in a group of pages and added to the function list at the end. We just need to keep a pointer to the first page of the list that was added, and use that to know where to start on the list for initializing functions.

2011-12-21ftrace: Allocate the mcount record pages as groupsSteven Rostedt
Allocate the mcount record pages as a group of pages as big as can be allocated and waste no more than a single page. Grouping the mcount pages as much as possible helps with cache locality, as we do not need to redirect with descriptors as we cross from page to page. It also allows us to do more with the records later on (sort them with bigger benefits). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-12-21ftrace: Remove usage of "freed" recordsSteven Rostedt
Records that are added to the function trace table are permanently there, except for modules. By separating out the modules to their own pages that can be freed in one shot we can remove the "freed" flag and simplify some of the record management. Another benefit of doing this is that we can also move the records around; sort them. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
