ftrace: Add function names to dangling } in function graph tracer
The function graph tracer is currently the most invasive tracer in the ftrace family. It can easily overflow the buffer even with 10megs per CPU. This means that events can often be lost. On start up, or after events are lost, if the function return is recorded but the function enter was lost, all we get to see is the exiting '}'. Here is how a typical trace output starts: [tracing] cat trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 0) + 91.897 us | } 0) ! 567.961 us | } 0) <========== | 0) ! 579.083 us | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 4.694 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) ! 594.862 us | } 0) ! 603.361 us | } 0) ! 613.574 us | } 0) ! 623.554 us | } 0) 3.653 us | fget_light(); 0) | sock_poll() { There are a series of '}' with no matching "func() {". There's no information to what functions these ending brackets belong to. This patch adds a stack on the per cpu structure used in outputting the function graph tracer to keep track of what function was outputted. Then on a function exit event, it checks the depth to see if the function exit has a matching entry event. If it does, then it only prints the '}', otherwise it adds the function name after the '}'. This allows function exit events to show what function they belong to at trace output startup, when the entry was lost due to ring buffer overflow, or even after a new task is scheduled in. Here is what the above trace will look like after this patch: [tracing] cat trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 0) + 91.897 us | } (irq_exit) 0) ! 567.961 us | } (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) 0) <========== | 0) ! 579.083 us | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 4.694 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) ! 594.862 us | } (add_wait_queue) 0) ! 603.361 us | } (__pollwait) 0) ! 613.574 us | } (tcp_poll) 0) ! 623.554 us | } (sock_poll) 0) 3.653 us | fget_light(); 0) | sock_poll() { Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
