2011-06-14tracing, function_graph: Remove dependency of abstime and duration fields on ↵Jiri Olsa
latency The display of absolute time and duration fields is based on the latency field. This was added during the irqsoff/wakeup tracers graph support changes. It's causing confusion in what fields will be displayed for the function_graph tracer itself. So I'm removing this depency, and adding absolute time and duration fields to the preemptirqsoff preemptoff irqsoff wakeup tracers. With following commands: # echo function_graph > ./current_tracer # cat trace This is what it looked like before: # tracer: function_graph # # TIME CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | | 0) 0.068 us | } /* page_add_file_rmap */ 0) | _raw_spin_unlock() { ... This is what it looks like now: # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 0) 0.068 us | } /* add_preempt_count */ 0) 0.993 us | } /* vfsmount_lock_local_lock */ ... For preemptirqsoff preemptoff irqsoff wakeup tracers, this is what it looked like before: SNIP # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / _-=> lock-depth # |||| / # CPU TASK/PID ||||| DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | ||||| | | | | | | 1) <idle>-0 | d..1 0.000 us | acpi_idle_enter_simple(); ...

2011-05-18ftrace: Implement separate user function filteringSteven Rostedt
ftrace_ops that are registered to trace functions can now be agnostic to each other in respect to what functions they trace. Each ops has their own hash of the functions they want to trace and a hash to what they do not want to trace. A empty hash for the functions they want to trace denotes all functions should be traced that are not in the notrace hash. Cc: Paul E.

2010-10-19tracing: Fix compile issue for trace_sched_wakeup.cSteven Rostedt
The function start_func_tracer() was incorrectly added in the #ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER condition, but is still used even when function tracing is not enabled. The calls to register_ftrace_function() and register_ftrace_graph() become nops (and their arguments are even ignored), thus there is no reason to hide start_func_tracer() when function tracing is not enabled.

2010-10-18tracing: Use one prologue for the wakeup tracer function tracersSteven Rostedt
The wakeup tracer has 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 on the wake_task variable). This patch moves the duplicate code into a single routine, to prevent future mistakes with modifying duplicate complex code.

2010-07-21tracing: Shrink max latency ringbuffer if unnecessaryKOSAKI Motohiro
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.

2010-06-03tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enableSteven Rostedt
The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

2010-05-14tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacksSteven Rostedt
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.

2009-09-09tracing: do not grab lock in wakeup latency function tracingSteven Rostedt
The wakeup tracer, when enabled, has its own function tracer. It only traces the functions on the CPU where the task it is following is on. If a task is woken on one CPU but then migrates to another CPU before it wakes up, the latency tracer will then start tracing functions on the other CPU. To find which CPU the task is on, the wakeup function tracer performs a task_cpu(wakeup_task). But to make sure the task does not disappear it grabs the wakeup_lock, which is also taken when the task wakes up. By taking this lock, the function tracer does not need to worry about the task being freed as it checks its cpu. Jan Blunck found a problem with this approach on his 32 CPU box. When a task is being traced by the wakeup tracer, all functions take this lock. That means that on all 32 CPUs, each function call is taking this one lock to see if the task is on that CPU. This lock has just serialized all functions on all 32 CPUs. Needless to say, this caused major issues on that box. It would even lockup. This patch changes the wakeup latency to insert a probe on the migrate task tracepoint. When a task changes its CPU that it will run on, the probe will take note. Now the wakeup function tracer no longer needs to take the lock. It only compares the current CPU with a variable that holds the current CPU the task is on. We don't worry about races since it is OK to add or miss a function trace.

2009-09-04tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency tracesSteven Rostedt
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.

2009-04-23tracing/wakeup: move access to wakeup_cpu into spinlockSteven Rostedt
The code had the following outside the lock: if (next != wakeup_task) return; pc = preempt_count(); /* The task we are waiting for is waking up */ data = wakeup_trace->data[wakeup_cpu]; On initialization, wakeup_task is NULL and wakeup_cpu -1. This code is not under a lock. If wakeup_task is set on another CPU as that task is waking up, we can see the wakeup_task before wakeup_cpu is set. If we read wakeup_cpu while it is still -1 then we will have a bad data pointer. This patch moves the reading of wakeup_cpu within the protection of the spinlock used to protect the writing of wakeup_cpu and wakeup_task.

2009-04-07tracing: remove CALLER_ADDR2 from wakeup tracerSteven Rostedt
Maneesh Soni was getting a crash when running the wakeup tracer. We debugged it down to the recording of the function with the CALLER_ADDR2 macro. This is used to get the location of the caller to schedule. But the problem comes when schedule is called by assmebly. In the case that Maneesh had, retint_careful would call schedule. But retint_careful does not set up a proper frame pointer. CALLER_ADDR2 is defined as __builtin_return_address(2). This produces the following assembly in the wakeup tracer code. mov 0x0(%rbp),%rcx <--- get the frame pointer of the caller mov %r14d,%r8d mov 0xf2de8e(%rip),%rdi mov 0x8(%rcx),%rsi <-- this is __builtin_return_address(1) mov 0x28(%rdi,%rax,8),%rbx mov (%rcx),%rax <-- get the frame pointer of the caller's caller mov %r12,%rcx mov 0x8(%rax),%rdx <-- this is __builtin_return_address(2) At the reading of 0x8(%rax) Maneesh's machine would take a fault. The reason is that retint_careful did not set up the return address and the content of %rax here was zero. To verify this, I sent Maneesh a patch to create a frame pointer in retint_careful. He ran the test again but this time he would take the same type of fault from sysret_careful. The retint_careful was no longer an issue, but there are other callers that still have issues. Instead of adding frame pointers for all callers to schedule (in possibly all archs), it is much safer to simply not use CALLER_ADDR2. This loses out on knowing what called schedule, but the function tracer will help there if needed.

The latency tracers (irqsoff, preemptoff, preemptirqsoff, and wakeup) are pretty useless with the default output format.

2009-02-18tracing/core: use appropriate waiting on trace_pipeFrederic Weisbecker
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.

2009-01-22trace: do not disable wake up tracer on output of traceSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to erased trace output To try not to have the outputing of a trace interfere with the wakeup tracer, it would disable tracing while the output was printing. But if a trace had started when it was disabled, it can show a partial trace. To try to solve this, on closing of the tracer, it would clear the trace buffer. The latency tracers (wakeup and irqsoff) have two buffers. One for recording and one for holding the max trace that is printed. The clearing of the trace above should only affect the recording buffer. But for some reason it would move the erased trace to the print buffer. Probably due to a race with the closing of the trace and the saving ofhe max race. The above is all pretty useless, and if the user does not want the printing of the trace to be traced itself, then the user can manual disable tracing.

2008-11-06ftrace: restructure tracing start/stop infrastructureSteven Rostedt
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>

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.

Things get weird between lockdep and ftrace because ftrace can be called within lockdep internal code (via the mcount pointer) and lockdep can be called with ftrace (via spin_locks).

2008-05-23ftrace: printk and trace irqsoff and wakeupsSteven Rostedt
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.

2008-05-23ftrace: add trace_function api for other tracers to useSteven Rostedt
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.
