| * | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled fileSteven Rostedt2012-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tracing_enabled file was used as a quick way to stop tracers, and try to bring down overhead for things like the latency tracers (irqsoff, wakeup, etc). But it didn't work that well. The tracing_on file was created as a really fast way to stop recording into the ftrace ring buffer and can interact with the kernel. That is a tracing_off() call in the kernel can disable recording of events, and then from userspace one could echo 1 into the tracing_on file to continue it. The tracing_enabled function did too much to allow for this. The tracing_on has taken over as a way to start and stop tracing and the tracing_enabled file should not be used. But because of its existance, it still confuses people. Over a year ago the following commit was added: commit 6752ab4a9c30d5411b2dfdb251a3f1cb18aae487 Author: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Date: Tue Feb 8 13:54:06 2011 -0500 tracing: Deprecate tracing_enabled for tracing_on This commit added a WARN_ON() if the tracing_enabled file's variable was changed. After this was added, only LatencyTop complained, and they soon fixed their tool as there was no reason that LatencyTop should touch this file as it was using the perf ring buffers which this file does not interact with. But since that time no one else has complained about this WARN_ON(). Thus it is safe to assume that this file is no longer needed. Time to get rid of it.

| * | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_onSteven Rostedt2012-11-02

The tracing_on file has taken over. Instead of having code to keep tracing_enabled, have the tracing_enabled file just set tracing_on, and remove the tracing_enabled variable. This allows us to remove the tracing_enabled file. The reason that the remove is in a different change set and not removed here is in case we find some lonely userspace tool that requires the file to exist. Then the removal patch will get reverted, but this one will not.

As trace_events have become the main way to add new tracing to the kernel, the need to unregister a tracer has diminished. Remove the unused function unregister_tracer(). If a need arises where we need it, then we can always add it back. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tracing: Separate open function from set_event and available_eventsSteven Rostedt2012-11-02

This causes a side effect of writing into available_events clearing all events, even though available_events is suppose to be read only. There's no reason to keep a single function for just the open and have both use different functions for everything else. It is a little confusing and causes strange behavior. Just have each have their own function. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

But if an event isn't executed much, the comm cache will be filled up by tasks that did not record the event and you lose out on the comms that did. Here's an example, if you enable the following events: echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/kvm/kvm_cr/enable echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable Note, there's no kvm running on this machine so the first event will never be triggered, but because it is enabled, the storing of comms will continue. If we now disable the network event: echo 0 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable and look at the trace: cat /debug/tracing/trace sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.731616: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.731617: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.859356: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.859357: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.947351: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.947352: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 376.035383: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 376.035383: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 377.563806: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=226 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 377.563807: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=226 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 377.563834: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6be0 len=114 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 377.563842: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6be0 len=114 rc=0 We see that process 2672 which triggered the events has the comm "sshd".

Thus, on boot up the ring buffers are set to a minimal size until something needs the and they are expanded. This works well for events and tracers (function, etc), but for the asynchronous use of trace_printk() which can write to the ring buffer at any time, does not expand the buffers. On boot up a check is made to see if any trace_printk() is used to see if the trace_printk() temp buffer pages should be allocated. This same code can be used to expand the buffers as well.

We wanted a way to count requests lost from the buffer filling up with overflow off, too. I decided to add a new counter instead of retro-fitting the existing one because it seems like a different statistic to count conceptually, and also because of how the code was structured.

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.

Fix this by setting the thread affinity flag right on thread creation time. This ensures that under all circumstances the thread moves to the right place.

This patch sets the core affinity right after the irq thread is created and before it waits for interrupts. In real-tiime targets that do not typically change the core affinity of irqs during run-time, this patch will save additional latency of an irq thread in setting the core affinity during the first interrupt occurrence for that irq.

In order to support retrigger of nested IRQs, the parent IRQ needs to be retriggered. To fix, when an IRQ needs to be resent, if the interrupt has a parent IRQ and runs in the context of the parent IRQ, then resend the parent. Also, handle_nested_irq() needs to clear the replay flag like the other handlers, otherwise check_irq_resend() will set it and it will never be cleared. Without clearing, it results in the first resend working fine, but check_irq_resend() returning early on subsequent resends because the replay flag is still set. Problem discovered on ARM/OMAP platforms where a nested IRQ that's also a wakeup IRQ happens late in suspend and needed to be retriggered during the resume process.

Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready for prime time. These commits were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724. 2. Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct structures. These commits were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296. 3. Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output.

Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9. 5. Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to their expedited equivalents. These were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739. 6. Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility, posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315.

McKenney: " The major features of this series are: 1. A first version of no-callbacks CPUs. This version prohibits offlining CPU 0, but only when enabled via CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y. Relaxing this constraint is in progress, but not yet ready for prime time. These commits were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/724, and are at branch rcu/nocb. 2. Changes to SRCU that allows statically initialized srcu_struct structures. These commits were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/296, and are at branch rcu/srcu. 3. Restructuring of RCU's debugfs output. These commits were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/341, and are at branch rcu/tracing. 4. Additional CPU-hotplug/RCU improvements, posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/327, and are at branch rcu/hotplug. Note that the commit eliminating __stop_machine() was judged to be too-high of risk, so is deferred to 3.9. 5. Changes to RCU's idle interface, most notably a new module parameter that redirects normal grace-period operations to their expedited equivalents. These were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/739, and are at branch rcu/idle. 6. Additional diagnostics for RCU's CPU stall warning facility, posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/315, and are at branch rcu/stall. The most notable change reduces the default RCU CPU stall-warning time from 60 seconds to 21 seconds, so that it once again happens sooner than the softlockup timeout. 7. Documentation updates, which were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/280, and are at branch rcu/doc. A couple of late-breaking changes were posted at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/634 and https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/547. 8. Miscellaneous fixes, which were posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/10/30/309, along with a late-breaking change posted at Fri, 16 Nov 2012 11:26:25 -0800 with message-ID <20121116192625.GA447@linux.vnet.ibm.com>, but which lkml.org seems to have missed. These are at branch rcu/fixes. 9. Finally, a fix for an lockdep-RCU splat was posted to LKML at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/7/486. This is at rcu/next.

This makes it impossible to determine from debugfs output whether callbacks are in fact being diverted. This commit therefore adds a separate ->n_nocbs_invoked field in the rcu_data structure in which diverted callback invocations are counted. RCU's debugfs tracing still displays normal callback invocations using ci=, but displayed diverted callbacks with nci=. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

This commit therefore adds the ability for selected CPUs ("rcu_nocbs=" boot parameter) to have their callbacks offloaded to kthreads. If the "rcu_nocb_poll" boot parameter is also specified, these kthreads will do polling, removing the need for the offloaded CPUs to do wakeups. At least one CPU must be doing normal callback processing: currently CPU 0 cannot be selected as a no-CBs CPU. In addition, attempts to offline the last normal-CBs CPU will fail. This feature was inspired by Jim Houston's and Joe Korty's JRCU, and this commit includes fixes to problems located by Fengguang Wu's kbuild test robot.

This commit therefore adds rcu_expedited boot and sysfs parameters that cause the kernel to substitute expedited primitives for the normal grace-period primitives.

Upon entry, a sync_sched_expedited_started variable is atomically incremented, and upon completion of a expedited grace period a separate sync_sched_expedited_done variable is atomically incremented. However, if a synchronize_sched_expedited() is delayed while in try_stop_cpus(), concurrent invocations will increment the sync_sched_expedited_started counter, which will eventually overflow. If the original synchronize_sched_expedited() resumes execution just as the counter overflows, a concurrent invocation could incorrectly conclude that an expedited grace period elapsed in zero time, which would be bad. One could rely on counter size to prevent this from happening in practice, but the goal is to formally validate this code, so it needs to be fixed anyway. This commit therefore checks the gap between the two counters before incrementing sync_sched_expedited_started, and if the gap is too large, does a normal grace period instead. Overflow is thus only possible if there are more than about 3.5 billion threads on 32-bit systems, which can be excluded until such time as task_struct fits into a single byte and 4G/4G patches are accepted into mainline. It is also easy to encode this limitation into mechanical theorem provers. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

However, _rcu_barrier() recently started doing get_online_cpus() to lock out CPU-hotplug operations entirely, which means that the comment in rcu_send_cbs_to_orphanage() that talks about ->onofflock is now obsolete. This commit therefore fixes the comment. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
