* ftrace: Don't disable irqs when taking the tasklist_lock read_lockSoumya PN2016-05-201-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In ftrace.c inside the function alloc_retstack_tasklist() (which will be invoked when function_graph tracing is on) the tasklist_lock is being held as reader while iterating through a list of threads. Here the lock is being held as reader with irqs disabled. The tasklist_lock is never write_locked in interrupt context so it is safe to not disable interrupts for the duration of read_lock in this block which, can be significant, given the block of code iterates through all threads. Hence changing the code to call read_lock() and read_unlock() instead of read_lock_irqsave() and read_unlock_irqrestore(). A similar change was made in commits: 8063e41d2ffc ("tracing: Change syscall_*regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD and use for_each_process_thread()")' and 3472eaa1f12e ("sched: normalize_rt_tasks(): Don't use _irqsave for tasklist_lock, use task_rq_lock()")' Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1463500874-77480-1-git-send-email-soumya.p.n@hpe.com Signed-off-by: Soumya PN <soumya.p.n@hpe.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering eventsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-05-034-8/+185
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 hist triggersTom Zanussi2016-04-192-21/+141
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow users to define 'named' hist triggers. All triggers created with the same 'name=xxx' option will update the same shared histogram data. This expands the hist trigger syntax from this: # echo hist:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger to this: # echo hist:name=xxx:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger Named histograms must use a 'compatible' set of keys and values, which means each event added to a set of named triggers must have the same names and types. Reading the 'hist' file of any of the participating events will produce the same output as any other participating event, which is to be expected since they share the same data.

* tracing: Add support for named triggersTom Zanussi2016-04-192-0/+156
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Remove restriction on string position in hist trigger keysTom Zanussi2016-04-191-28/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we assume the maximum size for a string field, we don't have to worry about its position. Since we only allow two keys in a compound key and having more than one string key in a given compound key doesn't make much sense anyway, trading a bit of extra space instead of introducing an arbitrary restriction makes more sense. We also need to use the event field size for static strings when copying the contents, otherwise we get random garbage in the key. Also, cast string return values to avoid warnings on 32-bit compiles. Finally, rearrange the code without changing any functionality by moving the compound key updating code into a separate function.

* tracing: Add 'hist' event trigger commandTom Zanussi2016-04-197-0/+895
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | '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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add tracing_map, a special-purpose lock-free map for tracing. tracing_map is designed to aggregate or 'sum' one or more values associated with a specific object of type tracing_map_elt, which is associated by the map to a given key. It provides various hooks allowing per-tracer customization and is separated out into a separate file in order to allow it to be shared between multiple tracers, but isn't meant to be generally used outside of that context.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trace_printk() code will allocate extra buffers if the compile detects that a trace_printk() is used. To do this, the format of the trace_printk() is saved to the __trace_printk_fmt section, and if that section is bigger than zero, the buffers are allocated (along with a message that this has happened). If trace_printk() uses a format that is not a constant, and thus something not guaranteed to be around when the print happens, the compiler optimizes the fmt out, as it is not used, and the __trace_printk_fmt section is not filled. This means the kernel will not allocate the special buffers needed for the trace_printk() and the trace_printk() will not write anything to the tracing buffer. Adding a "__used" to the variable in the __trace_printk_fmt section will keep it around, even though it is set to NULL. This will keep the string from being printed in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats section as it is not needed.
