* ftrace: Update filter when tracing enabled in set_ftrace_filter()Steven Rostedt2011-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | Currently, if set_ftrace_filter() is called when the ftrace_ops is active, the function filters will not be updated. They will only be updated when tracing is disabled and re-enabled. Update the functions immediately during set_ftrace_filter(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ftrace: Balance records when updating the hashSteven Rostedt2011-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Whenever the hash of the ftrace_ops is updated, the record counts must be balance. This requires disabling the records that are set in the original hash, and then enabling the records that are set in the updated hash. Moving the update into ftrace_hash_move() removes the bug where the hash was updated but the records were not, which results in ftrace triggering a warning and disabling itself because the ftrace_ops filter is updated while the ftrace_ops was registered, and then the failure happens when the ftrace_ops is unregistered. The current code will not trigger this bug, but new code will. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ftrace: Do not disable interrupts for modules in mcount updateSteven Rostedt2011-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I mounted an NFS directory, it caused several modules to be loaded. At the time I was running the preemptirqsoff tracer, and it showed the following output: # tracer: preemptirqsoff # # preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.33.9-rt30-mrg-test # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 1177 us, #4/4, CPU#3 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: modprobe-19370 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0) # ----------------- # => started at: ftrace_module_notify # => ended at: ftrace_module_notify # # # _------=> CPU# # / _-----=> irqs-off # | / _----=> need-resched # || / _---=> hardirq/softirq # ||| / _--=> preempt-depth # |||| /_--=> lock-depth # |||||/ delay # cmd pid |||||| time | caller # \ / |||||| \ | / modprobe-19370 3d.... 0us!: ftrace_process_locs <-ftrace_module_notify modprobe-19370 3d.... 1176us : ftrace_process_locs <-ftrace_module_notify modprobe-19370 3d.... 1178us : trace_hardirqs_on <-ftrace_module_notify modprobe-19370 3d.... 1178us : <stack trace> => ftrace_process_locs => ftrace_module_notify => notifier_call_chain => __blocking_notifier_call_chain => blocking_notifier_call_chain => sys_init_module => system_call_fastpath That's over 1ms that interrupts are disabled on a Real-Time kernel! Looking at the cause (being the ftrace author helped), I found that the interrupts are disabled before the code modification of mcounts into nops. The interrupts only need to be disabled on start up around this code, not when modules are being loaded. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Still trace filtered irq functions when irq trace is disabledSteven Rostedt2011-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a function is set to be traced by the set_graph_function, but the option funcgraph-irqs is zero, and the traced function happens to be called from a interrupt, it will not be traced. The point of funcgraph-irqs is to not trace interrupts when we are preempted by an irq, not to not trace functions we want to trace that happen to be *in* a irq. Luckily the current->trace_recursion element is perfect to add a flag to help us be able to trace functions within an interrupt even when we are not tracing interrupts that preempt the trace.

* tracing, x86/irq: Do not trace arch_local_{*,irq_*}() functionsSteven Rostedt2011-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I triggered a triple fault with gcc 4.5.1 because it did not honor the inline annotation to arch_local_save_flags() function and that function was added to the pool of functions traced by the function tracer. When preempt_schedule() called arch_local_save_flags() (called by irqs_disabled()), it was traced, but the first thing the function tracer does is disable preemption. When it enables preemption, the NEED_RESCHED flag will not have been cleared and the preemption check will trigger the call to preempt_schedule() again. Although the dynamic function tracer crashed immediately, the static version of the function tracer (CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set) actually was able to show where the problem was. swapper-1 3.N.. 103885us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103886us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103886us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103887us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103887us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103888us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule swapper-1 3.N.. 103888us : arch_local_save_flags <-preempt_schedule It went on for a while before it triple faulted with a corrupted stack. The arch_local_save_flags and arch_local_irq_* functions should not be traced. Even though they are marked as inline, gcc may still make them a function and enable tracing of them. The simple solution is to just mark them as notrace. I had to add the <linux/types.h> for this file to include the notrace tag.

| * tracing/kprobes: Fix kprobe-tracer to support stack traceMasami Hiramatsu2011-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix to support kernel stack trace correctly on kprobe-tracer. Since the execution path of kprobe-based dynamic events is different from other tracepoint-based events, normal ftrace_trace_stack() doesn't work correctly. To fix that, this introduces ftrace_trace_stack_regs() which traces stack via pt_regs instead of current stack register. e.g. # echo p schedule+4 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable # head -n 20 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace bash-2968 [000] 10297.050245: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) bash-2968 [000] 10297.050247: <stack trace> => schedule_timeout => n_tty_read => tty_read => vfs_read => sys_read => system_call_fastpath kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050265: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050266: <stack trace> => worker_thread => kthread => kernel_thread_helper sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: <stack trace> => sysret_careful Note: Even with this fix, the first entry will be skipped if the probe is put on the function entry area before the frame pointer is set up (usually, that is 4 bytes (push %bp; mov %sp %bp) on x86), because stack unwinder depends on the frame pointer.

| * ring-buffer: Set __GFP_NORETRY flag for ring buffer allocating processVaibhav Nagarnaik2011-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tracing ring buffer is allocated from kernel memory. While allocating a large chunk of memory, OOM might happen which destabilizes the system. Thus random processes might get killed during the allocation. This patch adds __GFP_NORETRY flag to the ring buffer allocation calls to make it fail more gracefully if the system will not be able to complete the allocation request.

| * tracing: Add a proc file to stop tracing and free bufferVaibhav Nagarnaik2011-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The proc file entry buffer_size_kb is used to set the size of tracing buffer. The memory to expand the buffer size is kernel memory. Consider a use case where tracing is handled by a user space utility, which acts as a gate keeper for tracing requests. In an OOM condition, tracing is considered a low priority task and if the utility gets killed the ring buffer memory cannot be released back to the kernel. This patch adds a proc file called "free_buffer" whose purpose is to stop tracing and free up the ring buffer when it is closed. The user space process can then set the desired size in buffer_size_kb file and open the fd to the "free_buffer" file. Under OOM condition, if the process gets killed, the kernel closes the file descriptor. The release handler stops the tracing and releases the kernel memory automatically.

| * tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pagesVaibhav Nagarnaik2011-06-14

The events that are generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer. This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node locality while accessing the ring buffer. However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation routine is running at the time. This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the logging CPU. I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the syscall to complete. The following command was used to test: $ getuid_microbench 1000000 Compared the numbers found on kernel with and without this patch and found that logging latency decreases by 30-50 ns/call. tracing with non-NUMA allocation - 569 ns/call tracing with NUMA allocation - 512 ns/call Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Cc: David Sharp <dhsharp@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304470602-20366-1-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * tracing: Schedule a delayed work to call wakeup()Vaibhav Nagarnaik2011-06-14

I enabled sys_enter_getuid and sys_exit_getuid tracepoints, and by running getuid_microbench from autotest in parallel I found that the contention causes exponential latency increase in the tracing path. The autotest binary getuid_microbench calls getuid() in a tight loop for the given number of iterations and measures the average time required to complete a single invocation of syscall. The patch schedules a delayed work after 2 ms once an event commit calls to wake up the trace wait_queue.

This enables us to take a single system wide profile and analyse each CPU (or group of CPUs) in isolation. This was useful when profiling a multiprocess workload where the bottleneck was on one CPU but this was hidden in the overall profile. Per process and per thread breakdowns didn't help because multiple processes were running on each CPU and no single process consumed an entire CPU. The patch converts the list of CPUs returned by cpu_map__new into a bitmap for fast lookup. I wanted to use -C to be consistent with perf top/record/stat, but unfortunately perf report already uses -C <comms>. v2: Incorporate suggestions from David Ahern: - Added -c to perf script - Check that SAMPLE_CPU is set when -c is used - Update documentation v3: Create perf_session__cpu_bitmap() Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Acked-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110704215750.11647eb9@kryten Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

It is convenient because we save its value in the irq regs and it's easily restored using the leave instruction. However this is a kind of abuse of the frame pointer which role is to help unwinding the kernel by chaining frames together, each node following the return address to the previous frame. But although we are breaking the frame by changing the stack pointer, there is no preceding return address before the new frame. Hence using the frame pointer to link the two stacks breaks the stack unwinders that find a random value instead of a return address here. There is no workaround that can work in every case. We are using the fixup_bp_irq_link() function to dereference that abused frame pointer in the case of non nesting interrupt (which means stack changed). But that doesn't fix the case of interrupts that don't change the stack (but we still have the unconditional frame link), which is the case of hardirq interrupting softirq. We have no way to detect this transition so the frame irq link is considered as a real frame pointer and the return address is dereferenced but it is still a spurious one. There are two possible results of this: either the spurious return address, a random stack value, luckily belongs to the kernel text and then the unwinding can continue and we just have a weird entry in the stack trace. Or it doesn't belong to the kernel text and unwinding stops there. This is the reason why stacktraces (including perf callchains) on irqs that interrupted softirqs don't work very well. To solve this, we don't save the old stack pointer on rbp anymore but we save it to a scratch register that we push on the new stack and that we pop back later on irq return. This preserves the whole frame chain without spurious return addresses in the middle and drops the need for the horrid fixup_bp_irq_link() workaround. And finally irqs that interrupt softirq are sanely unwinded.

This complicates the static stack offsets calculation and require more dynamic ones. It also needs a save/restore of the function's return address. To simplify and optimize this, turn save_regs() into a macro. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: H.

Thus the frame and stack pointers may not come from the same context. For example this can result in the unwinder to think the context is in irq, due to the current value of the stack, but the frame pointer coming from the regs points to a frame from another place. It then tries to fix up the irq link but ends up dereferencing a random frame pointer that doesn't belong to the irq stack: [ 9131.706906] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 9131.707003] WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c:129 dump_trace+0x2aa/0x330() [ 9131.707003] Hardware name: AMD690VM-FMH [ 9131.707003] Perf: bad frame pointer = 0000000000000005 in callchain [ 9131.707003] Modules linked in: [ 9131.707003] Pid: 1050, comm: perf Not tainted 3.0.0-rc3+ #181 [ 9131.707003] Call Trace: [ 9131.707003] <IRQ> [<ffffffff8104bd4a>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7a/0xb0 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff8104be21>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x41/0x50 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff8178b873>] ? bad_to_user+0x6d/0x10be [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff8100c2da>] dump_trace+0x2aa/0x330 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff810107d3>] ? native_sched_clock+0x13/0x50 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff8101b164>] perf_callchain_kernel+0x54/0x70 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff810d391f>] perf_prepare_sample+0x19f/0x2a0 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff810d546c>] __perf_event_overflow+0x16c/0x290 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff810d5430>] ? __perf_event_overflow+0x130/0x290 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff810107d3>] ? native_sched_clock+0x13/0x50 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff8100fbb9>] ? sched_clock+0x9/0x10 [ 9131.707003] [<ffffffff810752e5>] ?

We'll have only one parent sort dimension in the end but this allows to override the default parent filter with we gave in "-p" option. The goal of this is to prepare to allow the use of "-s parent" and "-p foo" at the same time, ie: sort by filtered parent.

Fix by adding a context parameter to perf_event_create_kernel_counter() (and derived hardware breakpoints APIs) and storing it in the perf_event. The field can be accessed from the callback as event->overflow_handler_context. All callers are updated.

The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with unsupported events). I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since it does appear to have some NUMA bits. Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they clearly are NUMA capable.
