* | tracing: Allow tracers to start at core initcallSteven Rostedt2012-10-311-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's times during debugging that it is helpful to see traces of early boot functions. But the tracers are initialized at device_initcall() which is quite late during the boot process. Setting the kernel command line parameter ftrace=function will not show anything until the function tracer is initialized. This prevents being able to trace functions before device_initcall(). There's no reason that the tracers need to be initialized so late in the boot process. Move them up to core_initcall() as they still need to come after early_initcall() which initializes the tracing buffers.

* ftrace: Add default recursion protection for function tracingSteven Rostedt2012-07-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As more users of the function tracer utility are being added, they do not always add the necessary recursion protection. To protect from function recursion due to tracing, if the callback ftrace_ops does not specifically specify that it protects against recursion (by setting the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE flag), the list operation will be called by the mcount trampoline which adds recursion protection. If the flag is set, then the function will be called directly with no extra protection. Note, the list operation is called if more than one function callback is registered, or if the arch does not support all of the function tracer features.

* ftrace: Return pt_regs to function trace callbackSteven Rostedt2012-07-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Return as the 4th paramater to the function tracer callback the pt_regs. Later patches that implement regs passing for the architectures will require having the ftrace_ops set the SAVE_REGS flag, which will tell the arch to take the time to pass a full set of pt_regs to the ftrace_ops callback function. If the arch does not support it then it should pass NULL. If an arch can pass full regs, then it should define: ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS to 1 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120702201821.019966811@goodmis.org Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the function trace callback receives only the ip and parent_ip of the function that it traced. It would be more powerful to also return the ops that registered the function as well. This allows the same function to act differently depending on what ftrace_ops registered it.

* lockdep: Move early boot local IRQ enable/disable status to init/main.cTejun Heo2011-01-201-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is properly initialized. During this time, no one should enable local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require communications with other processors, are allowed. lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks. As other subsystems need this information too, move it to init/main.c and make it generally available. While at it, toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true indicates the exceptional condition.

* tracing: Use one prologue for the preempt irqs off tracer function tracersSteven Rostedt2010-10-181-48/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The preempt and irqsoff tracers have three types of function tracers. Normal function tracer, function graph entry, and function graph return. Each of these use a complex dance to prevent recursion and whether to trace the data or not (depending if interrupts are enabled or not).

* tracing: Shrink max latency ringbuffer if unnecessaryKOSAKI Motohiro2010-07-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tracing: Add stack trace to irqsoff tracerSteven Rostedt2009-12-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The irqsoff and friends tracers help in finding causes of latency in the kernel. The also work with the function tracer to show what was happening when interrupts or preemption are disabled. But the function tracer has a bit of an overhead and can cause exagerated readings. Currently, when tracing with /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled = 0, where the function tracer is disabled, the information that is provided can end up being useless. For example, a 2 and a half millisecond latency only showed: # tracer: preemptirqsoff # # preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.32 # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 2463 us, #4/4, CPU#2 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: -4242 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0) # ----------------- # => started at: _spin_lock_irqsave # => ended at: remove_wait_queue # # # _------=> CPU# # / _-----=> irqs-off # | / _----=> need-resched # || / _---=> hardirq/softirq # ||| / _--=> preempt-depth # |||| /_--=> lock-depth # |||||/ delay # cmd pid |||||| time | caller # \ / |||||| \ | / hackbenc-4242 2d.... 0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue The above lets us know that hackbench with pid 2463 grabbed a spin lock somewhere and enabled preemption at remove_wait_queue. This helps a little but where this actually happened is not informative. This patch adds the stack dump to the end of the irqsoff tracer. This provides the following output: hackbenc-4242 2d.... 0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2467us : <stack trace> => sub_preempt_count => _spin_unlock_irqrestore => remove_wait_queue => free_poll_entry => poll_freewait => do_sys_poll => sys_poll => system_call_fastpath Now we see that the culprit of this latency was the free_poll_entry code.

* tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency tracesSteven Rostedt2009-09-041-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer. The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing after the bug is hit. Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous data, but the output will not count any data that is before the timestamp of the trace. Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

* ftrace: irqsoff tracer incorrect resetSteven Rostedt2008-11-081-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to irqsoff tracer output In converting to the new start / stop ftrace handling, the irqsoff tracer start called the irqsoff reset function. irqsoff tracer is not the same as the other traces, and it resets the buffers while searching for the longest latency. The reset that the irqsoff stop method calls disables the function tracing. That means that, by starting the tracer, the function tracer is disabled incorrectly. This patch simply removes the call to reset which keeps the function tracing enabled. Reset is not needed for the irqsoff stop method.

* ftrace: restructure tracing start/stop infrastructureSteven Rostedt2008-11-061-5/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: change where tracing is started up and stopped Currently, when a new tracer is selected via echo'ing a tracer name into the current_tracer file, the startup is only done if tracing_enabled is set to one. If tracing_enabled is changed to zero (by echo'ing 0 into the tracing_enabled file) a full shutdown is performed. The full startup and shutdown of a tracer can be expensive and the user can lose out traces when echo'ing in 0 to the tracing_enabled file, because the process takes too long. There can also be places that the user would like to start and stop the tracer several times and doing the full startup and shutdown of a tracer might be too expensive. This patch performs the full startup and shutdown when a tracer is selected. It also adds a way to do a quick start or stop of a tracer. The quick version is just a flag that prevents the tracing from taking place, but the overhead of the code is still there. For example, the startup of a tracer may enable tracepoints, or enable the function tracer. The stop and start will just set a flag to have the tracer ignore the calls when the tracepoint or function trace is called. The overhead of the tracer may still be present when the tracer is stopped, but no tracing will occur. Setting the tracer to the 'nop' tracer (or any other tracer) will perform the shutdown of the tracer which will disable the tracepoint or disable the function tracer. The tracing_enabled file will simply start or stop tracing. This change is all internal. The end result for the user should be the same as before. If tracing_enabled is not set, no trace will happen. If tracing_enabled is set, then the trace will happen. The tracing_enabled variable is static between tracers. Enabling tracing_enabled and going to another tracer will keep tracing_enabled enabled. Same is true with disabling tracing_enabled. This patch will now provide a fast start/stop method to the users for enabling or disabling tracing. Note: There were two methods to the struct tracer that were never used: The methods start and stop. These were to be used as a hook to the reading of the trace output, but ended up not being necessary. These two methods are now used to enable the start and stop of each tracer, in case the tracer needs to do more than just not write into the buffer. For example, the irqsoff tracer must stop recording max latencies when tracing is stopped. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACERSteven Rostedt2008-10-201-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same. This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

* ftrace: preempt disable over interrupt disableSteven Rostedt2008-10-141-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the new ring buffer infrastructure in ftrace, I'm trying to make ftrace a little more light weight. This patch converts a lot of the local_irq_save/restore into preempt_disable/enable. The original preempt count in a lot of cases has to be sent in as a parameter so that it can be recorded correctly. Some places were recording it incorrectly before anyway. This is also laying the ground work to make ftrace a little bit more reentrant, and remove all locking. The function tracers must still protect from reentrancy. Note: All the function tracers must be careful when using preempt_disable. It must do the following: resched = need_resched(); preempt_disable_notrace(); [...] if (resched) preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace(); else preempt_enable_notrace(); The reason is that if this function traces schedule() itself, the preempt_enable_notrace() will cause a schedule, which will lead us into a recursive failure. If we needed to reschedule before calling preempt_disable, we should have already scheduled. Since we did not, this is most likely that we should not and are probably inside a schedule function. If resched was not set, we still need to catch the need resched flag being set when preemption was off and the if case at the end will catch that for us.

* ftrace: remove printks from irqsoff traceSteven Rostedt2008-05-261-16/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Printing out new max latencies was fine for the old RT tracer. But for mainline it is a bit messy. We also need to test if the run queue is locked before we can do the print. This means that we may not be printing out latencies if the run queue is locked on another CPU. This produces inconsistencies in the output. This patch simply removes the print altogether.

* ftrace: printk and trace irqsoff and wakeupsSteven Rostedt2008-05-231-12/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | printk called from wakeup critical timings and irqs off can cause deadlocks since printk might do a wakeup itself. If the call to printk happens with the runqueue lock held, it can deadlock. This patch protects the printk from being called in trace irqs off with a test to see if the runqueue for the current CPU is locked. If it is locked, the printk is skipped. The wakeup always holds the runqueue lock, so the printk is simply removed.

* ftrace: add trace_function api for other tracers to useSteven Rostedt2008-05-231-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new check was added in the ftrace function that wont trace if the CPU trace buffer is disabled. Unfortunately, other tracers used ftrace() to write to the buffer after they disabled it. The new disable check makes these calls into a nop. This patch changes the __ftrace that is called without the check into a new api for the other tracers to use, called "trace_function". The other tracers use this interface instead when the trace CPU buffer is already disabled.
