* tracing: remove extra latency_trace method from trace structureSteven Rostedt2009-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: clean up The trace and latency_trace function pointers are identical for every tracer but the function tracer. The differences in the function tracer are trivial (latency output puts paranthesis around parent). This patch removes the latency_trace pointer and all prints will now just use the trace output function pointer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
* tracing: add latency output format optionSteven Rostedt2009-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | With the removal of the latency_trace file, we lost the ability to see some of the finer details in a trace. Like the state of interrupts enabled, the preempt count, need resched, and if we are in an interrupt handler, softirq handler or not. This patch simply creates an option to bring back the old format. This also removes the warning about an unused variable that held the latency_trace file operations. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
* tracing: fix seq read from trace filesSteven Rostedt2009-03-04
| | | | | | | | The buffer used by trace_seq was updated incorrectly. Instead of consuming what was actually read, it consumed the rest of the buffer on reads. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
* tracing: do not return EFAULT if read copied anythingSteven Rostedt2009-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix trace read to conform to standards Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso and H. Peter Anvin brought to my attention that a userspace read should not return -EFAULT if it succeeded in copying anything. It should only return -EFAULT if it failed to copy at all. This patch modifies the check of copy_from_user and updates the return code appropriately. I also used H. Peter Anvin's short cut rule to just test ret == count.

* ring-buffer: fix timestamp in partial ring_buffer_page_readSteven Rostedt2009-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If a partial ring_buffer_page_read happens, then some of the incremental timestamps may be lost. This patch writes the recent timestamp into the page that is passed back to the caller. A partial ring_buffer_page_read is where the full page would not be written back to the user, and instead, just part of the page is copied to the user. A full page would be a page swap with the ring buffer and the timestamps would be correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
* tracing: add cpu_file intialization for ftrace_dumpSteven Rostedt2009-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to ftrace_dump output corruption The commit: b04cc6b1f6398b0e0b60d37e27ce51b4899672ec tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files added a new field to the iterator called cpu_file. This was a handle to differentiate between the per cpu trace output files and the all cpu "trace" file. The all cpu "trace" file required setting this to TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU. The problem is that the ftrace_dump sets up its own iterator but was not updated to handle this change. The result was only CPU 0 printing out on crash and a lot of "<0>"'s also being printed.

Haven't tested this version as such, but it should be getting closer to merge worthy ;) -- After noticing some code in mm/filemap.c accidentally perform a __GFP_FS allocation when it should not have been, I thought it might be a good idea to try to catch this kind of thing with lockdep. I coded up a little idea that seems to work. Unfortunately the system has to actually be in __GFP_FS page reclaim, then take the lock, before it will mark it. But at least that might still be some orders of magnitude more common (and more debuggable) than an actual deadlock condition, so we have some improvement I hope (the concept is no less complete than discovery of a lock's interrupt contexts). I guess we could even do the same thing with __GFP_IO (normal reclaim), and even GFP_NOIO locks too... but filesystems will have the most locks and fiddly code paths, so let's start there and see how it goes. It *seems* to work.

This concept got ported to mainline from the -rt tree, where it was originally implemented for rtmutexes by Steven Rostedt, based on work by Gregory Haskins. Testing with Ingo's test-mutex application (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/8/50) gave a 345% boost for VFS scalability on my testbox: # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 296604 # ./test-mutex-shm V 16 10 | grep "^avg ops" avg ops/sec: 85870 The key criteria for the busy wait is that the lock owner has to be running on a (different) cpu. The idea is that as long as the owner is running, there is a fair chance it'll release the lock soon, and thus we'll be better off spinning instead of blocking/scheduling. Since regular mutexes (as opposed to rtmutexes) do not atomically track the owner, we add the owner in a non-atomic fashion and deal with the races in the slowpath. Furthermore, to ease the testing of the performance impact of this new code, there is means to disable this behaviour runtime (without having to reboot the system), when scheduler debugging is enabled (CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG=y), by issuing the following command: # echo NO_OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features This command re-enables spinning again (this is also the default): # echo OWNER_SPIN > /debug/sched_features Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| * | mutex: preemption fixesPeter Zijlstra2009-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem is that dropping the spinlock right before schedule is a voluntary preemption point and can cause a schedule, right after which we schedule again. Fix this inefficiency by keeping preemption disabled until we schedule, do this by explicity disabling preemption and providing a schedule() variant that assumes preemption is already disabled.

| * | | tracing: add binary buffer files for use with spliceSteven Rostedt2009-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: new feature This patch creates a directory of files that correspond to the per CPU ring buffers. These are binary files and are made to be used with splice. This is the fastest way to extract data from the ftrace ring buffers. Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for pushing me to get this code fixed, and to Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu for his splice code that helped me debug my code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| * | | ring-buffer: make ring_buffer_read_page read from start on partial pageSteven Rostedt2009-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: dont leave holes in read buffer page The ring_buffer_read_page swaps a given page with the reader page of the ring buffer, if certain conditions are set: 1) requested length is big enough to hold entire page data 2) a writer is not currently on the page 3) the page is not partially consumed. Instead of swapping with the supplied page. It copies the data to the supplied page instead. But currently the data is copied in the same offset as the source page. This causes a hole at the start of the reader page. This complicates the use of this function. Instead, it should copy the data at the beginning of the function and update the index fields accordingly. Other small clean ups are also done in this patch.

| * | | ring-buffer: replace sizeof of event header with offsetofSteven Rostedt2009-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to possible alignment problems on some archs. Some arch compilers include an NULL char array in the sizeof field. Since the ring_buffer_event type includes one of these, it is better to use the "offsetof" instead, to avoid strange bugs on these archs. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| * | | ring-buffer: fix ring_buffer_read_pageSteven Rostedt2009-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ring_buffer_read_page was broken if it were to only copy part of the page. This patch fixes that up as well as adds a parameter to allow a length field, in order to only copy part of the buffer page. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
