* ftrace: remove trace array ctrlSteven Rostedt2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | Impact: remove obsolete variable in trace_array structure With the new start / stop method of ftrace, the ctrl variable in the trace_array structure is now obsolete. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* ftrace: remove ctrl_update methodSteven Rostedt2008-11-08

* ftrace: enable trace_printk by defaultSteven Rostedt2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: have the ftrace_printk enabled on startup It is confusing to have to "echo trace_printk > /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl" after adding ftrace_printk in the kernel. Currently the trace_printk is set to off by default. ftrace_printk should only be in open kernel code when used for debugging, and thus it should be enabled by default. It may also be used to record data within a tracer, but those ftrace_printks should be within wrappers that are either enabled by trace_points or have a variable protecting the code path from being entered when the tracer is disabled.

* ftrace: irqsoff tracer incorrect resetSteven Rostedt2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to irqsoff tracer output In converting to the new start / stop ftrace handling, the irqsoff tracer start called the irqsoff reset function. irqsoff tracer is not the same as the other traces, and it resets the buffers while searching for the longest latency. The reset that the irqsoff stop method calls disables the function tracing. That means that, by starting the tracer, the function tracer is disabled incorrectly. This patch simply removes the call to reset which keeps the function tracing enabled. Reset is not needed for the irqsoff stop method.

* ftrace: fix sched_switch APISteven Rostedt2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix for sched_switch that broke dynamic ftrace startup The commit: tracing/fastboot: use sched switch tracer from boot tracer broke the API of the sched_switch trace. The use of the tracing_start/stop_cmdline record is for only recording the cmdline, NOT recording the schedule switches themselves. Seeing that the boot tracer broke the API to do something that it wanted, this patch adds a new interface for the API while puting back the original interface of the old API.

* ftrace: fix boot trace sched startupSteven Rostedt2008-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: boot tracer startup modified The boot tracer calls into some of the schedule tracing private functions that should not be exported. This patch cleans it up, and makes way for further changes in the ftrace infrastructure. This patch adds a api to assign a tracer array to the schedule context switch tracer.

The bug was with the tracer I was writing and not the ring-buffer itself. But it took a long time to find the problem. This patch adds paranoid checks into the ring-buffer infrastructure that will catch bugs of this nature.

This caused the output of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this "kprobe_trampoline" function. To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead. Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds. This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.

Using ioremap at runtime is impractical as it is too slow. This new set of interfaces uses atomic mappings on 32-bit processors and a large static mapping on 64-bit processors to provide reasonable 32-bit performance and optimal 64-bit performance.

What happens is that the tracer will start tracing the lockdep code while lockdep is testing the ring buffers locks. This can cause lockdep to fail due to testing cases that have not fully finished their locking transition. This patch converts the spin locks used by the ring buffer back into raw spin locks which lockdep does not check.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

It adds a new variable called function_trace_stop which will stop the calls to functions from mcount when set. This is just an on/off switch and does not handle recursion like preempt_disable(). It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine. The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code. x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Task A holds it. Task B is sleeping and doesn't hold it. _ Task A frees the sched tracer, then sched_ref is decremented to 0. _ Task A is preempted and hadn't yet unregistered its tracepoint probe, then B runs. _ B increments sched_ref, sees it's 1 and then guess it has to register its probe. But it has not been freed by task A. _ A lot of bad things can happen after that... Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
