* dropmon: add ability to detect when hardware dropsrxpacketsNeil Horman2009-05-211-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch to add the ability to detect drops in hardware interfaces via dropwatch. Adds a tracepoint to net_rx_action to signal everytime a napi instance is polled. The dropmon code then periodically checks to see if the rx_frames counter has changed, and if so, adds a drop notification to the netlink protocol, using the reserved all-0's vector to indicate the drop location was in hardware, rather than somewhere in the code.

| * tracing: convert irq trace points to new macrosSteven Rostedt2009-03-101-14/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: enhancement Converted the two irq trace point macros. The entry macro copies the name of the irq handler, thus it is better to simply use the TRACE_FORMAT macro which uses the trace_printk. The return of the handler does not need to record the name, thus the faster C style handler is more approriate. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

| * tracing: new format for specialized trace pointsSteven Rostedt2009-03-101-16/+32

Working with Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old macro, and is more obvious to what it does. Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the sched_switch trace point. The old method looked like this: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_FMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d", prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio) TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN], next_comm, TP_CMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN))) TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio) ), TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d") ); The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields. The new method: /* * Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler: * * (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events, * but used by the latency tracer plugin. ) */ TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_STRUCT__entry( __array( char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, prev_pid ) __field( int, prev_prio ) __array( char, next_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, next_pid ) __field( int, next_prio ) ), TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]", __entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio, __entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio), TP_fast_assign( memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->prev_pid = prev->pid; __entry->prev_prio = prev->prio; memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->next_pid = next->pid; __entry->next_prio = next->prio; ) ); This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts: TP_PROTO: the proto type of the trace point TP_ARGS: the arguments of the trace point TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer TP_printk: the printk format TP_fast_assign: the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data from the trace file. The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function, where the __entry is the handle to the record. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

This patch addresses this issue by adding a TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL. The format is similar to TRACE_FIELD but looks like so: TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(type_item, item, cmd) What TRACE_FIELD gave was: TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) The TRACE_FIELD would be used in declaring a structure: struct { type item; }; And later assign it via: entry->item = assign; What TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL gives us is: In the declaration of the structure: struct { type_item; }; And the assignment: cmd; This change log will explain the one example used in the patch: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TPARGS(rq, prev, next), TPFMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d", prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio) TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN], next_comm, TPCMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN))) TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio) ), TPRAWFMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d") ); The struct will be create as: struct { pid_t prev_pid; int prev_prio; char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; pid_t next_pid; int next_prio; }; Note the TRACE_ENTRY in the cmd part of TRACE_SPECIAL. TRACE_ENTRY will be set by the tracer to point to the structure inside the trace buffer. entry->prev_pid = prev->pid; entry->prev_prio = prev->prio; memcpy(entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); entry->next_pid = next->pid; entry->next_prio = next->prio Reported-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The former file will hold the trace/<type>.h files and the latter will hold the trace/<type>_event_types.h files. To create new tracepoints and to have them automatically appear in the event tracer, a developer makes the trace/<type>.h file which includes <linux/tracepoint.h> and the trace/<type>_event_types.h file. The trace/<type>_event_types.h file will hold the TRACE_FORMAT macros. Then add the trace/<type>.h file to trace/trace_events.h, and add the trace/<type>_event_types.h to the trace_event_types.h file. No need to modify files elsewhere.

It can help to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform. For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should choose a per cpu workqueue instead of a singlethreaded one. It only traces statistical informations for now but it will probably later provide event tracing too. Such a tracer could help too, and be improved, to help rt priority sorted workqueue development.

Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course. We can drop it if you want. On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free. On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not break the column with strings.... About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

Add DEFINE_TRACE() to tracepoints to let them declare the tracepoint structure in a single spot for all the kernel. It helps reducing memory consumption, especially when declaring a lot of tracepoints, e.g. for kmalloc tracing. *API CHANGE WARNING*: now, DECLARE_TRACE() must be used in headers for tracepoint declarations rather than DEFINE_TRACE(). This is the sane way to do it. The name previously used was misleading. Updates scheduler instrumentation to follow this API change.

* tracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entriesFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-121-9/+22

So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the ring buffer timestamp of both.

* tracing, sched: LTTng instrumentation - schedulerMathieu Desnoyers2008-10-141-0/+45
Instrument the scheduler activity (sched_switch, migration, wakeups, wait for a task, signal delivery) and process/thread creation/destruction (fork, exit, kthread stop). Actually, kthread creation is not instrumented in this patch because it is architecture dependent. It allows to connect tracers such as ftrace which detects scheduling latencies, good/bad scheduler decisions. Tools like LTTng can export this scheduler information along with instrumentation of the rest of the kernel activity to perform post-mortem analysis on the scheduler activity. About the performance impact of tracepoints (which is comparable to markers), even without immediate values optimizations, tests done by Hideo Aoki on ia64 show no regression. His test case was using hackbench on a kernel where scheduler instrumentation (about 5 events in code scheduler code) was added. See the "Tracepoints" patch header for performance result detail. Changelog : - Change instrumentation location and parameter to match ftrace instrumentation, previously done with kernel markers.
