There is nothing really arch specific of the push and pop functions
used by the function graph tracer. This patch moves them to generic
code.

Impact: clean up
Ingo Molnar did not like the _hook naming convention used by the
select function tracer. Luis Claudio R. Goncalves suggested using
the "_probe" extension. This patch implements the change of
calling the functions and variables "_hook" and replacing them
with "_probe".

This patch adds a call back for the tracers that have hooks to
selected functions. This allows the tracer to show better output
in the set_ftrace_filter file.

Impact: new feature
Currently, the function tracer only gives you an ability to hook
a tracer to all functions being traced. The dynamic function trace
allows you to pick and choose which of those functions will be
traced, but all functions being traced will call all tracers that
registered with the function tracer.
This patch adds a new feature that allows a tracer to hook to specific
functions, even when all functions are being traced. It allows for
different functions to call different tracer hooks.
The way this is accomplished is by a special function that will hook
to the function tracer and will set up a hash table knowing which
tracer hook to call with which function. This is the most general
and easiest method to accomplish this. Later, an arch may choose
to supply their own method in changing the mcount call of a function
to call a different tracer. But that will be an exercise for the
future.
To register a function:
struct ftrace_hook_ops {
void (*func)(unsigned long ip,
unsigned long parent_ip,
void **data);
int (*callback)(unsigned long ip, void **data);
void (*free)(void **data);
};
int register_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops,
void *data);
glob is a simple glob to search for the functions to hook.
ops is a pointer to the operations (listed below)
data is the default data to be passed to the hook functions when traced
ops:
func is the hook function to call when the functions are traced
callback is a callback function that is called when setting up the hash.
That is, if the tracer needs to do something special for each
function, that is being traced, and wants to give each function
its own data. The address of the entry data is passed to this
callback, so that the callback may wish to update the entry to
whatever it would like.
free is a callback for when the entry is freed. In case the tracer
allocated any data, it is give the chance to free it.
To unregister we have three functions:
void
unregister_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops,
void *data)
This will unregister all hooks that match glob, point to ops, and
have its data matching data. (note, if glob is NULL, blank or '*',
all functions will be tested).
void
unregister_ftrace_function_hook_func(char *glob,
struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops)
This will unregister all functions matching glob that has an entry
pointing to ops.
void unregister_ftrace_function_hook_all(char *glob)
This simply unregisters all funcs.

Allow for other tracers to add their own commands for function
selection. This interface gives a trace the ability to name a
command for function selection. Right now it is pretty limited
in what it offers, but this is a building step for more features.
The :mod: command is converted to this interface and also serves
as a template for other implementations.

Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked
to my 966c8c12dc9e77f931e2281ba25d2f0244b06949 sprint_symbol(): use
less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() -
kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was
beyond the end of page provided.
The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly
enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before
it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before.
Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they
need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer
where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies
them.

Impact: enhancement to stack tracer
The stack tracer currently is either on when configured in or
off when it is not. It can not be disabled when it is configured on.
(besides disabling the function tracer that it uses)
This patch adds a way to enable or disable the stack tracer at
run time. It defaults off on bootup, but a kernel parameter 'stacktrace'
has been added to enable it on bootup.
A new sysctl has been added "kernel.stack_tracer_enabled" to let
the user enable or disable the stack tracer at run time.

Impact: move most important x86 irq entry-points to a separate subsection
Annotate do_IRQ and smp_apic_timer_interrupt to put them into the .irqentry.text
subsection. These function will so be recognized as hardirq entrypoints for the
function-graph-tracer. We could also annotate other irq entries but the others
are far less important but they can be added on request.

Impact: Provide a way to pause the function graph tracer
As suggested by Steven Rostedt, the previous patch that prevented from
spinlock function tracing shouldn't use the raw_spinlock to fix it.
It's much better to follow lockdep with normal spinlock, so this patch
adds a new flag for each task to make the function graph tracer able
to be paused. We also can send an ftrace_printk whithout worrying of
the irrelevant traced spinlock during insertion.

special functions
Impact: trace more functions
When the function graph tracer is configured, three more files are not
traced to prevent only four functions to be traced. And this impacts the
normal function tracer too.
arch/x86/kernel/process_64/32.c:
I had crashes when I let this file traced. After some debugging, I saw
that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie:
"write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store
the original return address of the function inside current, we had
crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing.
kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c:
Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer:
__kernel_text_address()
To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch
introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if
function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

This patch adds the file:
/debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function
which can be used along with the function graph tracer.
When this file is empty, the function graph tracer will act as
usual. When the file has a function in it, the function graph
tracer will only trace that function.
For example:
# echo blk_unplug > /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function
# cat /debugfs/tracing/trace
[...]
------------------------------------------
| 2) make-19003 => kjournald-2219
------------------------------------------
2) | blk_unplug() {
2) | dm_unplug_all() {
2) | dm_get_table() {
2) 1.381 us | _read_lock();
2) 0.911 us | dm_table_get();
2) 1. 76 us | _read_unlock();
2) + 12.912 us | }
2) | dm_table_unplug_all() {
2) | blk_unplug() {
2) 0.778 us | generic_unplug_device();
2) 2.409 us | }
2) 5.992 us | }
2) 0.813 us | dm_table_put();
2) + 29. 90 us | }
2) + 34.532 us | }
You can add up to 32 functions into this file. Currently we limit it
to 32, but this may change with later improvements.
To add another function, use the append '>>':
# echo sys_read >> /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function
# cat /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function
blk_unplug
sys_read
Using the '>' will clear out the function and write anew:
# echo sys_write > /debug/tracing/set_graph_function
# cat /debug/tracing/set_graph_function
sys_write
Note, if you have function graph running while doing this, the small
time between clearing it and updating it will cause the graph to
record all functions. This should not be an issue because after
it sets the filter, only those functions will be recorded from then on.
If you need to only record a particular function then set this
file first before starting the function graph tracer. In the future
this side effect may be corrected.
The set_graph_function file is similar to the set_ftrace_filter but
it does not take wild cards nor does it allow for more than one
function to be set with a single write. There is no technical reason why
this is the case, I just do not have the time yet to implement that.
Note, dynamic ftrace must be enabled for this to appear because it
uses the dynamic ftrace records to match the name to the mcount
call sites.

Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function
While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that
caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function.
Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the
bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot.
The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function.
Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph,
which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely
lock the box up if it were to trigger.
This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will
stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.

Impact: new "power-tracer" ftrace plugin
This patch adds a C/P-state ftrace plugin that will generate
detailed statistics about the C/P-states that are being used,
so that we can look at detailed decisions that the C/P-state
code is making, rather than the too high level "average"
that we have today.
An example way of using this is:
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
echo cstate > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
sleep 1
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace | perl scripts/trace/cstate.pl > out.svg

Impact: feature
This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing.
For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry
and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack.
The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against
the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch.
Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at
some locations.
We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this
way of processing is much more simpler.
2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep
calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed
braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function.
If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to
find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth.
I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value
can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are.
I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print
eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part).
Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the
high part of eax could contain junk values...

This patch changes the name of the "return function tracer" into
function-graph-tracer which is a more suitable name for a tracing
which makes one able to retrieve the ordered call stack during
the code flow.

allocate it dynamically
Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely
Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.
So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.
Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork
I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.

Impact: add new API to disable all of ftrace on anomalies
It case of a serious anomaly being detected (like something caught by
lockdep) it is a good idea to disable all tracing immediately, without
grabing any locks.
This patch adds ftrace_off_permanent that disables the tracers, function
tracing and ring buffers without a way to enable them again. This should
only be used when something serious has been detected.

Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
"20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
/debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
right.
As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.

return tracer
This patch adds the support for dynamic tracing on the function return tracer.
The whole difference with normal dynamic function tracing is that we don't need
to hook on a particular callback. The only pro that we want is to nop or set
dynamically the calls to ftrace_caller (which is ftrace_return_caller here).
Some security checks ensure that we are not trying to launch dynamic tracing for
return tracing while normal function tracing is already running.
An example of trace with getnstimeofday set as a filter:
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (2283 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1396 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1825 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1426 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1464 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1524 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns)

Impact: allow archs more flexibility on dynamic ftrace implementations
Dynamic ftrace has largly been developed on x86. Since x86 does not
have the same limitations as other architectures, the ftrace interaction
between the generic code and the architecture specific code was not
flexible enough to handle some of the issues that other architectures
have.
Most notably, module trampolines. Due to the limited branch distance
that archs make in calling kernel core code from modules, the module
load code must create a trampoline to jump to what will make the
larger jump into core kernel code.
The problem arises when this happens to a call to mcount. Ftrace checks
all code before modifying it and makes sure the current code is what
it expects. Right now, there is not enough information to handle modifying
module trampolines.
This patch changes the API between generic dynamic ftrace code and
the arch dependent code. There is now two functions for modifying code:
ftrace_make_nop(mod, rec, addr) - convert the code at rec->ip into
a nop, where the original text is calling addr. (mod is the
module struct if called by module init)
ftrace_make_caller(rec, addr) - convert the code rec->ip that should
be a nop into a caller to addr.
The record "rec" now has a new field called "arch" where the architecture
can add any special attributes to each call site record.

Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing
Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.
This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
the current task.
The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.
Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.
For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
this function enabled.

Impact: moving of function prototypes into own header file

Impact: add way to quickly start stop tracing from the kernel

Impact: quick start and stop of function tracer
This patch adds a way to disable the function tracer quickly without
the need to run kstop_machine. It adds a new variable called
function_trace_stop which will stop the calls to functions from mcount
when set. This is just an on/off switch and does not handle recursion
like preempt_disable().
It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing
fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine.
The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs
that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount
arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code.
x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this.

Impact: modify boot tracer
We used to disable the initcall tracing at a specified time (IE: end
of builtin initcalls). But we don't need it anymore. It will be
stopped when initcalls are finished.
However we want two things:
_Start this tracing only after pre-smp initcalls are finished.
_Since we are planning to trace sched_switches at the same time, we
want to enable them only during the initcall execution.
For this purpose, this patch introduce two functions to enable/disable
the sched_switch tracing during boot.

When an anomaly is detected, we need a way to completely disable
ftrace. Right now we have two functions: ftrace_kill and ftrace_kill_atomic.
The ftrace_kill tries to do it in a "nice" way by converting everything
back to a nop.
The "nice" way is dangerous itself, so this patch removes it and only
has the "atomic" version, which is all that is needed.
