| | * | tracing/function-return-tracer: call prepare_ftrace_return by registersFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Optimize a bit the function return tracer This patch changes the calling convention of prepare_ftrace_return to pass its arguments by register. This will optimize it a bit and prepare it to support dynamic tracing. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| | * | tracing/function-return-tracer: make the function return tracer locklessFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-12
| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: remove spinlocks and irq disabling in function return tracer. I've tried to figure out all of the race condition that could happen when the tracer pushes or pops a return address trace to/from the current thread_info. Theory: _ One thread can only execute on one cpu at a time. So this code doesn't need to be SMP-safe. Just drop the spinlock. _ The only race could happen between the current thread and an interrupt. If an interrupt is raised, it will increase the index of the return stack storage and then execute until the end of the tracing to finally free the index it used. We don't need to disable irqs. This is theorical. In practice, I've tested it with a two-core SMP and had no problem at all. Perhaps -tip testing could confirm it.

* | | trace: rename unlikely profiler to branch profilerSteven Rostedt2008-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: name change of unlikely tracer and profiler Ingo Molnar suggested changing the config from UNLIKELY_PROFILE to BRANCH_PROFILING. I never did like the "unlikely" name so I went one step farther, and renamed all the unlikely configurations to a "BRANCH" variant.

This patch achieves that goal. When configured, every(*) likely and unlikely macro gets a counter attached to it. When the condition is hit, the hit and misses of that condition are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by: /debugfs/tracing/profile_likely - All likely markers /debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely - All unlikely markers. # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | head correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 2167 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 832 0 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 804 2670 0 0 IS_ERR err.h 34 71230 5693 7 __switch_to process_64.c 673 76919 0 0 __switch_to process_64.c 639 43184 33743 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12740 64181 83 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12740 64174 83 __switch_to process_64.c 590 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | \ awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' |head -20 44963 35259 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12762 67454 84 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12762 67447 84 __switch_to process_64.c 590 1478 595 28 syscall_get_error syscall.h 51 0 2821 100 syscall_trace_leave ptrace.c 1567 0 1 100 native_smp_prepare_cpus smpboot.c 1237 86338 265881 75 calc_delta_fair sched_fair.c 408 210410 108540 34 calc_delta_mine sched.c 1267 0 54550 100 sched_info_queued sched_stats.h 222 51899 66435 56 pick_next_task_fair sched_fair.c 1422 6 10 62 yield_task_fair sched_fair.c 982 7325 2692 26 rt_policy sched.c 144 0 1270 100 pre_schedule_rt sched_rt.c 1261 1268 48073 97 pick_next_task_rt sched_rt.c 884 0 45181 100 sched_info_dequeued sched_stats.h 177 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8700 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8690 53167 33217 38 schedule sched.c 4457 0 80208 100 sched_info_switch sched_stats.h 270 30585 49631 61 context_switch sched.c 2619 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_likely | awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' 39900 36577 47 pick_next_task sched.c 4397 20824 15233 42 switch_mm mmu_context_64.h 18 0 7 100 __cancel_work_timer workqueue.c 560 617 66484 99 clocksource_adjust timekeeping.c 456 0 346340 100 audit_syscall_exit auditsc.c 1570 38 347350 99 audit_get_context auditsc.c 732 0 345244 100 audit_syscall_entry auditsc.c 1541 38 1017 96 audit_free auditsc.c 1446 0 1090 100 audit_alloc auditsc.c 862 2618 1090 29 audit_alloc auditsc.c 858 0 6 100 move_masked_irq migration.c 9 1 198 99 probe_sched_wakeup trace_sched_switch.c 58 2 2 50 probe_wakeup trace_sched_wakeup.c 227 0 2 100 probe_wakeup_sched_switch trace_sched_wakeup.c 144 4514 2090 31 __grab_cache_page filemap.c 2149 12882 228786 94 mapping_unevictable pagemap.h 50 4 11 73 __flush_cpu_slab slub.c 1466 627757 330451 34 slab_free slub.c 1731 2959 61245 95 dentry_lru_del_init dcache.c 153 946 1217 56 load_elf_binary binfmt_elf.c 904 102 82 44 disk_put_part genhd.h 206 1 1 50 dst_gc_task dst.c 82 0 19 100 tcp_mss_split_point tcp_output.c 1126 As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits that were more than 25%. Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up the following ideas from: 1) Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values. 2) Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers. 3) Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely annotations from vsyscall_64.c. Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar for their feed back on this patch. (*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls (a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

| * | tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracingFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-11

This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of the current task. The index of the current return address is initialized when the task is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall, it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called. Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3. For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution. That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on this function enabled.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sched_clock() uses cycles_2_ns() needlessly - which is an irq-disabling variant of __cycles_2_ns(). Most of the time sched_clock() is called with irqs disabled already. The few places that call it with irqs enabled need to be updated. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use them in vget_cycles().

Specifically, changed upper limit in for loop to ARRAY_SIZE() macro and added a check to make sure the number of events specified by the user, which is used as the max for indexing various arrays, is no bigger then the declared size of the arrays. The size of the pm_signal_local array should be equal to the number of SPUs being configured in the array. Currently, the array is of size 4 (NR_PHYS_CTRS) but being indexed by a for loop from 0 to 7 (NUM_SPUS_PER_NODE). Signed-off-by: Carl Love <carll@us.ibm.com>

That patch incorrectly used information about what CPUs are possible that was not yet initialized by ACPI. The end result was that per_cpu structures for offline CPUs were not initialized causing a NULL pointer reference. Since we cannot do the full acpi_boot_init() call any earlier, the simplest fix is to just parse the MADT for SAPIC entries early to find the CPU info. This should also allow for some cleanup of the code added by the "Minimize per_cpu reservations". This patch just fixes the regressions, the cleanup will come in a later patch.

This patch fixes it. node_start_pfn shows the start pfn of each node, and node_mem_map should point 'struct page' of each node's node_start_pfn. On my machine, node0's node_start_pfn shows 0x400 and its node_mem_map points 0xa0007fffbf000000. This address is the same as vmem_map, so the node_mem_map points 'struct page' of pfn 0, even if its node_start_pfn shows 0x400. The cause is due to the round down of min_pfn in count_node_pages() and node0's node_mem_map points 'struct page' of inactive pfn (0x0).
