| | * tracing: Shrink max latency ringbuffer if unnecessaryKOSAKI Motohiro2010-07-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt says buffer_size_kb: This sets or displays the number of kilobytes each CPU buffer can hold. The tracer buffers are the same size for each CPU. The displayed number is the size of the CPU buffer and not total size of all buffers. The trace buffers are allocated in pages (blocks of memory that the kernel uses for allocation, usually 4 KB in size). If the last page allocated has room for more bytes than requested, the rest of the page will be used, making the actual allocation bigger than requested. ( Note, the size may not be a multiple of the page size due to buffer management overhead. ) This can only be updated when the current_tracer is set to "nop". But it's incorrect. currently total memory consumption is 'buffer_size_kb x CPUs x 2'. Why two times difference is there? because ftrace implicitly allocate the buffer for max latency too. That makes sad result when admin want to use large buffer. (If admin want full logging and makes detail analysis). example, If admin have 24 CPUs machine and write 200MB to buffer_size_kb, the system consume ~10GB memory (200MB x 24 x 2). umm.. 5GB memory waste is usually unacceptable. Fortunatelly, almost all users don't use max latency feature. The max latency buffer can be disabled easily. This patch shrink buffer size of the max latency buffer if unnecessary.

It's because when a trace event is enabled 3 tracepoints (sched_switch, sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new) will be activated to map pid to cmdname. We'd like to avoid this overhead, so add a trace option '(no)record-cmd' to allow to disable cmdline recording.

| * | tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enableSteven Rostedt2010-06-031-48/+0

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.

| * x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace codePeter Zijlstra2010-03-261-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

We can save 4 bytes per event by combining the two into a single integer. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4894944 1018052 861512 6774508 675eec vmlinux.id 4894871 1012292 861512 6768675 674823 vmlinux.flags This gives us another 5K in savings. The modification of both the enable and filter fields are done under the event_mutex, so it is still safe to combine the two. Note: Although Mathieu gave his Acked-by, he would like it documented that the reads of flags are not protected by the mutex. The way the code works, these reads will not break anything, but will have a residual effect. Since this behavior is the same even before this patch, describing this situation is left to another patch, as this patch does not change the behavior, but just brought it to Mathieu's attention. v2: Updated the event trace self test to for this change.

* | tracing: Move fields from event to class structureSteven Rostedt2010-05-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure. Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead of the individual events. The events of the same class would just hold duplicate information. After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs 4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields). This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created. Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT() so this should not be an issue. The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic so it should not be a issue. The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event. v2: Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list of fields for both enter and exit.

| * function-graph: Add tracing_thresh support to function_graph tracerTim Bird2010-03-051-1/+2

When the tracing_thresh is set and the function graph tracer is enabled, only the functions that took longer than the time in microseconds that was set in tracing_thresh are recorded. To do this efficiently, only the function exits are recorded: [tracing]# echo 100 > tracing_thresh [tracing]# echo function_graph > current_tracer [tracing]# cat trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 1) ! 119.214 us | } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */ 1) <========== | 0) ! 101.527 us | } /* __rcu_process_callbacks */ 0) ! 126.461 us | } /* rcu_process_callbacks */ 0) ! 145.111 us | } /* __do_softirq */ 0) ! 149.667 us | } /* do_softirq */ 0) ! 168.817 us | } /* irq_exit */ 0) ! 248.254 us | } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */ Also, add support for specifying tracing_thresh on the kernel command line. When used like so: "tracing_thresh=200 ftrace=function_graph" this can be used to analyse system startup. It is important to disable tracing soon after boot, in order to avoid losing the trace data.

* | tracing: Fix ftrace_event_call alignment for use with gcc 4.5Jeff Mahoney2010-02-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes. For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array. When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer. This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures to 4 bytes. Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with gcc 4.5. It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.

* | tracing: Simplify test for function_graph tracing start pointLai Jiangshan2010-01-291-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the function graph tracer, a calling function is to be traced only when it is enabled through the set_graph_function file, or when it is nested in an enabled function. Current code uses TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH to test whether it is nested or not. Looking at the code, we can get this: (trace->depth > 0) <==> (TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is set) trace->depth is more explicit to tell that it is nested. So we use trace->depth directly and simplify the code. No functionality is changed. TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is not removed yet, it is left for future usage.

Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
