* sched/core: Fix trace_sched_switch()Peter Zijlstra2015-10-061-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | __trace_sched_switch_state() is the last remaining PREEMPT_ACTIVE user, move trace_sched_switch() from prepare_task_switch() to __schedule() and propagate the @preempt argument.

* sched: Introduce the 'trace_sched_waking' tracepointPeter Zijlstra2015-08-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mathieu reported that since 317f394160e9 ("sched: Move the second half of ttwu() to the remote cpu") trace_sched_wakeup() can happen out of context of the waker. This is a problem when you want to analyse wakeup paths because it is now very hard to correlate the wakeup event to whoever issued the wakeup. OTOH trace_sched_wakeup() is issued at the point where we set p->state = TASK_RUNNING, which is right were we hand the task off to the scheduler, so this is an important point when looking at scheduling behaviour, up to here its been the wakeup path everything hereafter is due to scheduler policy. To bridge this gap, introduce a second tracepoint: trace_sched_waking. It is guaranteed to be called in the waker context.

* tracing: Remove unneeded includes of debugfs.h and fs.hSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-01-221-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The creation of tracing files and directories is for the most part encapsulated in helper functions in trace.c.

* tracing: Move tracing_sched_{switch,wakeup}() into wakeup tracerSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2014-11-111-56/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | The only code that references tracing_sched_switch_trace() and tracing_sched_wakeup_trace() is the wakeup latency tracer. Those two functions use to belong to the sched_switch tracer which has long been removed. These functions were left behind because the wakeup latency tracer used them. But since the wakeup latency tracer is the only one to use them, they should be static functions inside that code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* tracing: Update event filters for multibufferTom Zanussi2013-11-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using filters in the multibuffer case: Before: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect the same event in tracing/events as it does above. After: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away. The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard() redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as appropriate).

* tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structureSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max latency. The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat. This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred. The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

* tracing: Replace the static global per_cpu arrays with allocated per_cpuSteven Rostedt2013-03-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | The global and max-tr currently use static per_cpu arrays for the CPU data descriptors. But in order to get new allocated trace_arrays, they need to be allocated per_cpu arrays.

* tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functionsSteven Rostedt2012-11-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location). With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed. Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacksSteven Rostedt2010-05-141-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks. The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data parameter. For example: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value) Will create the register function: int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe, void *data); As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data) parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like: void myprobe(void *data, int value) { } The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter. This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along with the function probe. void mycallback(void *data, int value); register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata); Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter before the args. A more detailed example: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status)); /* In the C file */ DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status)); [...] trace_mytracepoint(status); /* In a file registering this tracepoint */ int my_callback(void *data, int status) { struct my_struct my_data = data; [...] } [...] my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL); init_my_data(my_data); register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data); The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used to unregister the callback: unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data); Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have no args. That is: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS()); will cause an error. If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead: DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint); Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out. This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4914025 1088868 861512 6864405 68be15 vmlinux.class 4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepoint Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but lays the ground work for decreasing it. v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates. v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes. Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out. v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument. This makes the calling functions comply with C standards. Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE(). v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that do not need any arguments.

* tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracerSteven Rostedt2009-09-041-8/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the wrong buffer. This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed in to the commit.

* tracing/core: use appropriate waiting on trace_pipeFrederic Weisbecker2009-02-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: api and pipe waiting change Currently, the waiting used in tracing_read_pipe() is done through a 100 msecs schedule_timeout() loop which periodically check if there are traces on the buffer. This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming events. This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader. This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer. If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for trace_wait queue is attached.

* ftrace: restructure tracing start/stop infrastructureSteven Rostedt2008-11-061-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: enhance boot trace output with scheduling events Use the sched_switch tracer from the boot tracer. We also can trace schedule events inside the initcalls. Sched tracing is disabled after the initcall has finished and then reenabled before the next one is started.

* tracing/ftrace: remove unused code in sched_switch tracerFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-041-8/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup When init_sched_switch_trace() is called, it has no reason to start the sched tracer if the sched_ref is not zero. _ If this is non-zero, the tracer is already used, but we can register it to the tracing engine. There is already a security which avoid the tracer probes not to be resgistered twice. _ If this is zero, this block will not be used.

* tracing/ftrace: fix a race condition in sched_switch tracerFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-041-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix race condition in sched_switch tracer This patch fixes a race condition in the sched_switch tracer. If several tasks (IE: concurrent initcalls) are playing with tracing_start_cmdline_record() and tracing_stop_cmdline_record(), the following situation could happen: _ Task A and B are using the same tracepoint probe. Task A holds it. Task B is sleeping and doesn't hold it. _ Task A frees the sched tracer, then sched_ref is decremented to 0. _ Task A is preempted and hadn't yet unregistered its tracepoint probe, then B runs. _ B increments sched_ref, sees it's 1 and then guess it has to register its probe. But it has not been freed by task A. _ A lot of bad things can happen after that... Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* ftrace: make some tracers reentrantSteven Rostedt2008-10-141-8/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the ring buffer is reentrant, some of the ftrace tracers (sched_swich, debugging traces) can also be reentrant. Note: Never make the function tracer reentrant, that can cause recursion problems all over the kernel. The function tracer must disable reentrancy.

* ftrace: preempt disable over interrupt disableSteven Rostedt2008-10-141-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: move sched_switch enable after markersSteven Rostedt2008-07-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have two markers now that are enabled on sched_switch. One that records the context switching and the other that records task wake ups. Currently we enable the tracing first and then set the markers. This causes some confusing traces: # tracer: sched_switch # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | trace-cmd-3973 [00] 115.834817: 3973:120:R + 3: 0:S trace-cmd-3973 [01] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 6: 0:S trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S trace-cmd-3973 [03] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 12: 0:S trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S <idle>-0 [02] 115.834910: 0:140:R ==> 3973:120:R Here we see that trace-cmd with PID 3973 wakes up task 9 but the next line shows the idle task doing a context switch to task 3973. Enabling the tracing to _after_ the markers are set creates a much saner output: # tracer: sched_switch # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | <idle>-0 [02] 7922.634225: 0:140:R ==> 4790:120:R trace-cmd-4789 [03] 7922.634225: 0:140:R + 4790:120:R Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
