| * | uprobes/tracing: Generalize struct uprobe_trace_entry_headOleg Nesterov2013-04-132-31/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct uprobe_trace_entry_head has a single member for reporting, "unsigned long ip". If we want to support uretprobes we need to create another struct which has "func" and "ret_ip" and duplicate a lot of functions, like trace_kprobe.c does. To avoid this copy-and-paste horror we turn ->ip into ->vaddr[] and add couple of trivial helpers to calculate sizeof/data. This uglifies the code a bit, but this allows us to avoid a lot more complications later, when we add the support for ret-probes.

I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event. Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers (ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only be written to the main buffer. 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended. The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable an event to be traced when a function is hit. 3) A perf clock has been added. A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis." * tag 'trace-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (82 commits) tracepoints: Prevent null probe from being added tracing: Compare to 1 instead of zero for is_signed_type() tracing: Remove obsolete macro guard _TRACE_PROFILE_INIT ftrace: Get rid of ftrace_profile_bits tracing: Check return value of tracing_init_dentry() tracing: Get rid of unneeded key calculation in ftrace_hash_move() tracing: Reset ftrace_graph_filter_enabled if count is zero tracing: Fix off-by-one on allocating stat->pages kernel: tracing: Use strlcpy instead of strncpy tracing: Update debugfs README file tracing: Fix ftrace_dump() tracing: Rename trace_event_mutex to trace_event_sem tracing: Fix comment about prefix in arch_syscall_match_sym_name() tracing: Convert trace_destroy_fields() to static tracing: Move find_event_field() into trace_events.c tracing: Use TRACE_MAX_PRINT instead of constant tracing: Use pr_warn_once instead of open coded implementation ring-buffer: Add ring buffer startup selftest tracing: Bring Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt up to date tracing: Add "perf" trace_clock ...

What ftrace_dump() does, is when ftrace_dump_on_oops is set (via a kernel parameter or sysctl), it will dump out the ftrace buffers to the console when either a oops, panic, or a sysrq-z occurs. This was written a long time ago when ftrace was fragile to recursion. But it wasn't written well even for that. There's a possible deadlock that can occur if a ftrace_dump() is happening and an NMI triggers another dump. This is because it grabs a lock before checking if the dump ran. It also totally disables ftrace, and tracing for no good reasons. As the ring_buffer now checks if it is read via a oops or NMI, where there's a chance that the buffer gets corrupted, it will disable itself. No need to have ftrace_dump() do the same. ftrace_dump() is now cleaned up where it uses an atomic counter to make sure only one dump happens at a time. A simple atomic_inc_return() is enough that is needed for both other CPUs and NMIs. No need for a spinlock, as if one CPU is running the dump, no other CPU needs to do it too. The tracing_on variable is turned off and not turned on. The original code did this, but it wasn't pretty. By just disabling this variable we get the result of not seeing traces that happen between crashes. For sysrq-z, it doesn't get turned on, but the user can always write a '1' to the tracing_on file. If they are using sysrq-z, then they should know about tracing_on. The new code is much easier to read and less error prone. No more deadlock possibility when an NMI triggers here.

I wrote up a quick integrity checker of the ring buffer to see if it was. Although the bug ended up being something stupid I did in ftrace, and had nothing to do with the ring buffer, I figured if I spent the time to write up this test, I might as well include it in the kernel. I cleaned it up a bit, as the original version was rather ugly. Not saying this version is pretty, but it's a beauty queen compared to what I original wrote. To enable the start up test, set CONFIG_RING_BUFFER_STARTUP_TEST. Note, it runs for 10 seconds, so it will slow your boot time by at least 10 more seconds. What it does is documented in both the comments and the Kconfig help. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * | | tracing: Add "perf" trace_clockSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-0/+1

I'm not sure why perf doesn't call trace_clock(), as trace_clock() doesn't have any users. But now it does. As trace_clock() calls local_clock() like perf does, I added the trace_clock "perf" option that uses trace_clock(). Now the ftrace buffers can use the same clock as perf uses. This will be useful when perf starts reading the ftrace buffers, and will be able to interleave them with the same clock data.

This includes kprobes, perf, stack tracer, etc. Instead, create a function-trace option that the latency tracers can check to determine if it should enable function tracing or not. This option can be set or cleared even while the tracer is active and the tracers will disable or enable function tracing depending on how the option was set.

| * | | tracing: Remove most or all of stack tracer stack size from stack_max_sizeSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-21/+54

This is because the stack_max_size includes the overhead of stack tracer itself while the depth does not. The first time a max is triggered, a calculation is not performed that figures out the overhead of the stack tracer and subtracts it from the stack_max_size variable. The overhead is stored and is subtracted from the reported stack size for comparing for a new max. Now the stack_max_size corresponds to the reported depth: # cat stack_max_size 4640 # cat stack_trace Depth Size Location (48 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 4640 32 _raw_spin_lock+0x18/0x24 1) 4608 112 ____cache_alloc+0xb7/0x22d 2) 4496 80 kmem_cache_alloc+0x63/0x12f 3) 4416 16 mempool_alloc_slab+0x15/0x17 [...] While testing against and older gcc on x86 that uses mcount instead of fentry, I found that pasing in ip + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE let the stack trace show one more function deep which was missing before.

| * | | tracing: Fix stack tracer with fentry useSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-4/+29

The significance of this is that fentry is called as the first operation of the function instead of the mcount usage of being called after the stack. This causes the stack tracer to show some bogus results for the size of the last function traced, as well as showing "ftrace_call" instead of the function. This is due to the stack frame not being set up by the function that is about to be traced. # cat stack_trace Depth Size Location (48 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 4824 216 ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f 1) 4608 112 ____cache_alloc+0xb7/0x22d 2) 4496 80 kmem_cache_alloc+0x63/0x12f The 216 size for ftrace_call includes both the ftrace_call stack (which includes the saving of registers it does), as well as the stack size of the parent. To fix this, if CC_USING_FENTRY is defined, then the stack_tracer will reserve the first item in stack_dump_trace[] array when calling save_stack_trace(), and it will fill it in with the parent ip. Then the code will look for the parent pointer on the stack and give the real size of the parent's stack pointer: # cat stack_trace Depth Size Location (14 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 2640 48 update_group_power+0x26/0x187 1) 2592 224 update_sd_lb_stats+0x2a5/0x4ac 2) 2368 160 find_busiest_group+0x31/0x1f1 3) 2208 256 load_balance+0xd9/0x662 I'm Cc'ing stable, although it's not urgent, as it only shows bogus size for item #0, the rest of the trace is legit.

| * | | tracing: Add a way to soft disable trace eventsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-13/+62

For example, if a function probe is added that lets a user enable or disable events when a function is called, that change must be done without taking locks or a mutex, and definitely it can't sleep. But the full enabling of a tracepoint is expensive. By adding a 'SOFT_DISABLE' flag, and converting the flags to be updated without the protection of a mutex (using set/clear_bit()), this soft disable flag can be used to allow critical sections to enable or disable events from being traced (after the event has been placed into "SOFT_MODE"). Some caveats though: The comm recorder (to map pids with a comm) can not be soft disabled (yet). If you disable an event with with a "soft" disable and wait a while before reading the trace, the comm cache may be replaced and you'll get a bunch of <...> for comms in the trace. Reading the "enable" file for an event that is disabled will now give you "0*" where the '*' denotes that the tracepoint is still active but the event itself is "disabled".

As the entries are registered with ops that may have their own callbacks, and these callbacks may sleep, we can not use call_rcu_sched() because the rcu callbacks registered with that are called from a softirq context. Instead of using call_rcu_sched(), manually save the entries on a free_list and at the end of the loop that removes the entries, do a synchronize_sched() and then go through the free_list, freeing the entries.

On release of the probe, each function entry calls the "free" method. First, "callback" is a confusing name and does not really match what it does. Callback sounds like it will be called when the probe triggers. But that's not the case. This is really an "init" function, so lets rename it as such. Secondly, both "init" and "free" do not pass enough information back to the handlers. Pass back the ops, ip and data for each time the method is called. We have the information, might as well use it.

This is extremely wasteful. Note, a probe is something like: echo schedule:traceoff > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter When schedule is called, the probe will disable tracing. But currently, it has a call back for *all* functions, and checks to see if the called function is the probe that is needed. The probe function has been created before ftrace was rewritten to allow for more than one "op" to be registered by the function tracer. When probes were created, it couldn't limit the functions without also limiting normal function calls. But now we can, it's about time to update the probe code. Todo, have separate ops for different entries. That is, assign a ftrace_ops per probe, instead of one op for all probes. But as there's not many probes assigned, this may not be that urgent.
