* tracing: Have max_latency be defined for HWLAT_TRACER as wellSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-09-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The hwlat tracer uses tr->max_latency, and if it's the only tracer enabled that uses it, the build will fail. Add max_latency and its file when the hwlat tracer is enabled.

* tracing: Added hardware latency tracerSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-09-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hardware latency tracer has been in the PREEMPT_RT patch for some time. It is used to detect possible SMIs or any other hardware interruptions that the kernel is unaware of. Note, NMIs may also be detected, but that may be good to note as well. The logic is pretty simple. It simply creates a thread that spins on a single CPU for a specified amount of time (width) within a periodic window (window). These numbers may be adjusted by their cooresponding names in /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/ The defaults are window = 1000000 us (1 second) width = 500000 us (1/2 second) The loop consists of: t1 = trace_clock_local(); t2 = trace_clock_local(); Where trace_clock_local() is a variant of sched_clock(). The difference of t2 - t1 is recorded as the "inner" timestamp and also the timestamp t1 - prev_t2 is recorded as the "outer" timestamp. If either of these differences are greater than the time denoted in /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh then it records the event. When this tracer is started, and tracing_thresh is zero, it changes to the default threshold of 10 us. The hwlat tracer in the PREEMPT_RT patch was originally written by Jon Masters. I have modified it quite a bit and turned it into a tracer. Based-on-code-by: Jon Masters <jcm@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ftrace: Reduce size of function graph entriesNamhyung Kim2016-07-051-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently ftrace_graph_ent{,_entry} and ftrace_graph_ret{,_entry} struct can have padding bytes at the end due to alignment in 64-bit data type. As these data are recorded so frequently, those paddings waste non-negligible space. As the ring buffer maintains alignment properly for each architecture, just to remove the extra padding using 'packed' attribute. ftrace_graph_ent_entry: 24 -> 20 ftrace_graph_ret_entry: 48 -> 44 Also I moved the 'overrun' field in struct ftrace_graph_ret to minimize the padding in the middle. Tested on x86_64 only.

* ftrace: Move toplevel init out of ftrace_init_tracefs()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-07-051-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 345ddcc882d8 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events do") placed ftrace_init_tracefs into the instance creation, and encapsulated the top level updating with an if conditional, as the top level only gets updated at boot up. Unfortunately, this triggers section mismatch errors as the init functions are called from a function that can be called later, and the section mismatch logic is unaware of the if conditional that would prevent it from happening at run time. To make everyone happy, create a separate ftrace_init_tracefs_toplevel() routine that only gets called by init functions, and this will be what calls other init functions for the toplevel directory.

* tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering eventsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-05-031-1/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filtering of events requires the data to be written to the ring buffer before it can be decided to filter or not. This is because the parameters of the filter are based on the result that is written to the ring buffer and not on the parameters that are passed into the trace functions. The ftrace ring buffer is optimized for writing into the ring buffer and committing. The discard procedure used when filtering decides the event should be discarded is much more heavy weight. Thus, using a temporary filter when filtering events can speed things up drastically. Without a temp buffer we have: # trace-cmd start -p nop # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 0.790706626 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.71% ) # trace-cmd start -e all # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.566904059 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.27% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.690598511 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.19% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.707486364 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% ) The first run above is without any tracing, just to get a based figure. hackbench takes ~0.79 seconds to run on the system. The second run enables tracing all events where nothing is filtered. This increases the time by 100% and hackbench takes 1.57 seconds to run. The third run filters all events where the preempt count will equal "20" (this should never happen) thus all events are discarded. This takes 1.69 seconds to run. This is 10% slower than just committing the events! The last run enables all events and filters where the filter will commit all events, and this takes 1.70 seconds to run. The filtering overhead is approximately 10%. Thus, the discard and commit of an event from the ring buffer may be about the same time. With this patch, the numbers change: # trace-cmd start -p nop # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 0.778233033 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.38% ) # trace-cmd start -e all # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.582102692 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.28% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.309230710 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.786001924 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.20% ) The first run is again the base with no tracing. The second run is all tracing with no filtering. It is a little slower, but that may be well within the noise. The third run shows that discarding all events only took 1.3 seconds. This is a speed up of 23%! The discard is much faster than even the commit. The one downside is shown in the last run. Events that are not discarded by the filter will take longer to add, this is due to the extra copy of the event.

* tracing: Add support for named triggersTom Zanussi2016-04-191-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Named triggers are sets of triggers that share a common set of trigger data. An example of functionality that could benefit from this type of capability would be a set of inlined probes that would each contribute event counts, for example, to a shared counter data structure. The first named trigger registered with a given name owns the common trigger data that the others subsequently registered with the same name will reference. The functions defined here allow users to add, delete, and find named triggers. It also adds functions to pause and unpause named triggers; since named triggers act upon common data, they should also be paused and unpaused as a group.

* tracing: Add enable_hist/disable_hist triggersTom Zanussi2016-04-191-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similar to enable_event/disable_event triggers, these triggers enable and disable the aggregation of events into maps rather than enabling and disabling their writing into the trace buffer. They can be used to automatically start and stop hist triggers based on a matching filter condition. If there's a paused hist trigger on system:event, the following would start it when the filter condition was hit: # echo enable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger And the following would disable a running system:event hist trigger: # echo disable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger See Documentation/trace/events.txt for real examples.

* tracing: Add 'hist' event trigger commandTom Zanussi2016-04-191-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events, which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file containing the aggregation in a human-readable format. The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables completely defined by the user. This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter. A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users via this simple mechanism. In fact, a large number of the tasks that users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used in the creation of a hash table. The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of the event format files associated with each trace event. By simply consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties of the system. See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples. hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers from a user's perspective as well. The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax. Users start an aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's trigger file: # echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key and a value field named 'hitcount'. To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist' file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file: # cat event/hist The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

* tracing: Add infrastructure to allow set_event_pid to follow childrenSteven Rostedt2016-04-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the infrastructure needed to have the PIDs in set_event_pid to automatically add PIDs of the children of the tasks that have their PIDs in set_event_pid. This will also remove PIDs from set_event_pid when a task exits This is implemented by adding hooks into the fork and exit tracepoints. On fork, the PIDs are added to the list, and on exit, they are removed. Add a new option called event_fork that when set, PIDs in set_event_pid will automatically get their children PIDs added when they fork, as well as any task that exits will have its PID removed from set_event_pid. This works for instances as well. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to add the ability to let tasks that are filtered by the events have their children also be traced on fork (and then not traced on exit), convert the array into a pid bitmask. Most of the time the number of pids is only 32768 pids or a 4k bitmask, which is the same size as the default list currently is, and that list could grow if more pids are listed.

This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter what the the current_tracer is. And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code. And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.

* ftrace: Remove use of control list and opsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-12-231-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently perf has its own list function within the ftrace infrastructure that seems to be used only to allow for it to have per-cpu disabling as well as a check to make sure that it's not called while RCU is not watching. It uses something called the "control_ops" which is used to iterate over ops under it with the control_list_func(). The problem is that this control_ops and control_list_func unnecessarily complicates the code. By replacing FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL with two new flags (FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU and FTRACE_OPS_FL_PER_CPU) we can remove all the code that is special with the control ops and add the needed checks within the generic ftrace_list_func().

And no one doing so: after commit 68179686ac67cb ("tracing: Remove ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()") ftrace_cpu_disabled stays the same after initialization, nothing changes it. ftrace_cpu_disabled shouldn't be used by any external module since it disables only function and graph_function tracers but not any other tracer.

* tracing: Implement event pid filteringSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-10-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the necessary hooks to use the pids loaded in set_event_pid to filter all the events enabled in the tracing instance that match the pids listed. Two probes are added to both sched_switch and sched_wakeup tracepoints to be called before other probes are called and after the other probes are called. The first is used to set the necessary flags to let the probes know to test if they should be traced or not. The sched_switch pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the previous or next task has a matching pid. The sched_switch probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the next task does not match the matching pid. The pre probe allows for probes tracing sched_switch to be traced if necessary. The sched_wakeup pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the current task nor the wakee task has a matching pid. The sched_wakeup post probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the current task does not have a matching pid. Cc: "Paul E.

* tracing: Add set_event_pid directory for future useSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-10-251-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a tracing directory called set_event_pid, which currently has no function, but will be used to filter all events for the tracing instance or the pids that are added to the file. The reason no functionality is added with this commit is that this commit focuses on the creation and removal of the pids in a safe manner. And tests can be made against this change to make sure things are correct before hooking features to the list of pids. Cc: "Paul E.

* tracing: Add trace options for tracer options to instancesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-301-1/+8
| | | | | | | | | Add the tracer options to instances options directory as well. Only add the options for tracers that are allowed to be enabled by an instance. But note, that tracer options are global. That is, tracer options enabled in an instance, also take affect at the top level and in other instances. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Add a method to pass in trace_array descriptor to option filesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation of having the multi buffer instances having their own trace option flags, the trace option files needs a way to not only pass in the flag they represent, but also the trace_array descriptor. A new field is added to the trace_array descriptor called trace_flags_index, which is a 32 byte character array representing a bit. This array is simply filled with the index of the array, where index_array[n] = n; Then the address of this array is passed to the file callbacks instead of the index of the flag index. Then to retrieve both the flag index and the trace_array descriptor: data is the passed in argument. index = *(unsigned char *)data; data -= index; /* Now data points to the address of the array in the trace_array */ tr = container_of(data, struct trace_array, trace_flags_index); Suggested-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Move trace_flags from global to a trace_array fieldSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-301-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace instance trace_array structure. There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace, where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

* tracing: Move sleep-time and graph-time options out of the core trace_flagsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-301-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | The sleep-time and graph-time options are only for the function graph tracer and are not used by anything else. As tracer options are now visible when the tracer is not activated, its better to move the function graph specific tracer options into the function graph tracer.

* tracing: Remove access to trace_flags in trace_printk.cSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | In the effort to move the global trace_flags to the tracing instances, the direct access to trace_flags must be removed from trace_printk.c Instead, add a new trace_printk_enabled boolean that is set by a new access function trace_printk_control(), that will enable or disable trace_printk.

* tracing: Add build bug if we have more trace_flags than bitsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-301-1/+5

* tracing: Always show all tracer options in the options directorySteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-301-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are options that are unique to a specific tracer (like function and function graph). Currently, these options are only visible in the options directory when the tracer is enabled. This has been a pain, especially for something like the func_stack_trace option that if used inappropriately, could bring the system to a crawl. But the only way to see it, is to enable the function tracer. For example, if one had done: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo __schedule > set_ftrace_filter # echo 1 > options/func_stack_trace # echo function > current_tracer The __schedule call will be traced and a stack trace will also be recorded there. Now when you were done, you may do... # echo nop > current_tracer # echo > set_ftrace_filter But you forgot to disable the func_stack_trace. The only way to disable it is to re-enable function tracing first. If you do not add a filter to set_ftrace_filter and just do: # echo function > current_tracer Now you would be performing a stack trace on *every* function! On some systems, that causes a live lock. Others may take a few minutes to fix your mistake. Having the func_stack_trace option visible allows you to check it and disable it before enabling the funtion tracer.

* tracing: Use TRACE_FLAGS macro to keep enums and strings matchedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-291-57/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use a cute little macro trick to keep the names of the trace flags file guaranteed to match the corresponding masks. The macro TRACE_FLAGS is defined as a serious of enum names followed by the string name of the file that matches it. For example: #define TRACE_FLAGS \ C(PRINT_PARENT, "print-parent"), \ C(SYM_OFFSET, "sym-offset"), \ C(SYM_ADDR, "sym-addr"), \ C(VERBOSE, "verbose"), Now we can define the following: #undef C #define C(a, b) TRACE_ITER_##a##_BIT enum trace_iterator_bits { TRACE_FLAGS }; The above creates: enum trace_iterator_bits { TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT_BIT, TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET_BIT, TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT, TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE_BIT, }; Then we can redefine C as: #undef C #define C(a, b) TRACE_ITER_##a = (1 << TRACE_ITER_##a##_BIT) enum trace_iterator_flags { TRACE_FLAGS }; Which creates: enum trace_iterator_flags { TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT = (1 << TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT_BIT), TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET = (1 << TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET_BIT), TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR = (1 << TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT), TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE = (1 << TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE_BIT), }; Then finally we can create the list of file names: #undef C #define C(a, b) b static const char *trace_options[] = { TRACE_FLAGS NULL }; Which creates: static const char *trace_options[] = { "print-parent", "sym-offset", "sym-addr", "verbose", NULL }; The importance of this is that the strings match the bit index. trace_options[TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT] == "sym-addr" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Use enums instead of hard coded bitmasks for TRACE_ITER flagsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-291-26/+55
| | | | | | | | Using enums with FLAG_BIT and then defining a FLAG = (1 << FLAG_BIT), is a bit more robust as we require that there are no bits out of order or skipped to match the file names that represent the bits. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Remove unused tracing option "ftrace_preempt"Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-09-291-17/+16
| | | | | | | | | | There was a time where the function tracing would disable interrupts unless specifically told not to, where it would only disable preemption. With the new lockless code, the function tracing never disalbes interrupts and just uses disabling of preemption. Remove the option "ftrace_preempt" as it does nothing anyway.
