* | | tracing: Introduce trace_buffer_{lock_reserve,unlock_commit}Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo2009-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: new API These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about. It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and other trace options we may introduce in the future. With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options facility. $ codiff /tmp/vmlinux.before /tmp/vmlinux.after linux-2.6-tip/kernel/trace/trace.c: trace_vprintk | -5 trace_graph_return | -22 trace_graph_entry | -26 trace_function | -45 __ftrace_trace_stack | -27 ftrace_trace_userstack | -29 tracing_sched_switch_trace | -66 tracing_stop | +1 trace_seq_to_user | -1 ftrace_trace_special | -63 ftrace_special | +1 tracing_sched_wakeup_trace | -70 tracing_reset_online_cpus | -1 13 functions changed, 2 bytes added, 355 bytes removed, diff: -353 linux-2.6-tip/block/blktrace.c: __blk_add_trace | -58 1 function changed, 58 bytes removed, diff: -58 linux-2.6-tip/kernel/trace/trace.c: trace_buffer_lock_reserve | +88 trace_buffer_unlock_commit | +86 2 functions changed, 174 bytes added, diff: +174 /tmp/vmlinux.after: 16 functions changed, 176 bytes added, 413 bytes removed, diff: -237 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Most of the time it didn't hurt because the page wasn't get filled, but for correctness sake, handle the return values everywhere.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: trace max latencies on start of latency tracing This patch sets the max latency to zero whenever one of the irq variant tracers or the wakeup tracer is set to current tracer. Most developers expect to see output when starting up a latency tracer.

The time it took to trigger the race was wasted because I did not capture the trace. Since ftrace_dump is only called from kernel oops (and only when it is set in the kernel command line to do so), or when a developer adds it to their own local tree, the log level of the print should be at KERN_EMERG to make sure the print appears. ftrace_dump is not called by a normal user setup, and will not add extra unwanted print out to the console. There is no reason it should be at KERN_INFO. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Peter Zijlstra started the functionality to start up a default tracing at bootup. This patch finishes the work. Now if you add 'ftrace=<tracer>' to the command line, when that tracer is registered on bootup, that tracer is selected and starts tracing. Note, all selftests for tracers that are registered after this tracer is disabled. This prevents the selftests from disturbing the running tracer, or the running tracer from disturbing the selftest.

But some other tracers that want to implement their trace_event callbacks will not necessary need these information or they may want to format them as they want. This patch adds a new default-enabled trace option: TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO When disabled through: echo nocontext-info > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options The pid, cpu and timestamps headers will not be printed. IE with the sched_switch tracer with context-info (default): bash-2935 [001] 100.356561: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> <idle>-0 [000] 100.412804: 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 <idle>-0 [000] 100.412816: 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 events/0-11 [000] 100.412829: 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> Without context-info: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> A tracer can disable it at runtime by clearing the bit TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO in trace_flags. The print routines were renamed to trace_print_context and trace_print_lat_context, so that they can be used by tracers if they want to use them for one of the trace_event callbacks.

This feature enables his request. # echo io_schedule > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # echo func_stack_trace > /debug/tracing/trace_options Produces the following in /debug/tracing/trace: kjournald-702 [001] 135.673060: io_schedule <-sync_buffer kjournald-702 [002] 135.673671: <= sync_buffer <= __wait_on_bit <= out_of_line_wait_on_bit <= __wait_on_buffer <= sync_dirty_buffer <= journal_commit_transaction <= kjournald Note, be careful about turning this on without filtering the functions. You may find that you have a 10 second lag between typing and seeing what you typed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: tracing's Api change Currently, the stat tracing depends on the events tracing. When you switch to a new tracer, the stats files of the previous tracer will disappear. But it's more scalable to separate those two engines. This way, we can keep the stat files of one or several tracers when we want, without bothering of multiple tracer stat files or tracer switching. To build/destroys its stats files, a tracer just have to call register_stat_tracer/unregister_stat_tracer everytimes it wants to.

| * tracing/ftrace: provide the base infrastructure for histogram tracingFrederic Weisbecker2008-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: extend the tracing API The goal of this patch is to normalize and make more easy the implementation of statistical (histogram) tracing. It implements a trace_stat file into the /debugfs/tracing directory where one can print a one-shot output of statistics/histogram entries. A tracer has to provide two basic iterator callbacks: stat_start() => the first entry stat_next(prev, idx) => the next one. Note that it is adapted for arrays or hash tables or lists.... since it provides a pointer to the previous entry and the current index of the iterator. These two callbacks are called to get a snapshot of the statistics at each opening of the trace_stat file because. The values are so updated between two "cat trace_stat". And the tracer is free to lock its datas during the iteration to keep consistent values. Since it is almost always interesting to sort statisticals values to address the problems by priority, this infrastructure provides a "sorting" of the stat entries too if desired. A tracer has just to provide a stat_cmp callback to compare two entries and the stat tracing infrastructure will build a sorted list of the given entries. A last callback, called stat_headers, can be implemented by a tracer to output headers on its trace. If one of these callbacks is changed on runtime, it just have to signal it to the stat tracing API by calling the init_tracer_stat() helper. Changes in V2: - Fix a memory leak if the user opens multiple times the trace_stat file without closing it. Now we always free our list before rebuilding it.

| * ftrace: change trace.c to use registered eventsSteven Rostedt2008-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: rework trace.c to use new event register API Almost every ftrace event has to implement its output display in trace.c through a different function. Some events did not handle all the formats (trace, latency-trace, raw, hex, binary), and this method does not scale well. This patch converts the format functions to use the event API to find the event and and print its format. Currently, we have a print function for trace, latency_trace, raw, hex and binary. A trace_nop_print is available if the event wants to avoid output on a particular format. Perhaps other tracers could use this in the future (like mmiotrace and function_graph).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup This patch factors out common code from multiple tracers into a tracing_reset_online_cpus() function and converts the tracers to use it.

| | | | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix occasionally incorrect trace output The tracing code has interesting varieties of printing out task state. Unfortunalely only one of the instances is correct as it copies the code from sched.c:sched_show_task(). The others are plain wrong as they treatthe bitfield as an integer offset into the character array. Also the size check of the character array is wrong as it includes the trailing \0. Use a common state decoder inline which does the Right Thing.

| | * | tracing/ftrace: add the printk-msg-only optionFrederic Weisbecker2008-12-16

Sometimes a developer just want to have the ftrace_printk left "as is", without other information. This is done by providing a default-off option called printk-msg-only. To enable it, just do `echo printk-msg-only > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options` Before the patch: <...>-2739 [000] 145.692153: __might_sleep: I'm an ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep <...>-2739 [000] 145.692155: __might_sleep: I'm another ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep After the patch and the printk-msg-only option enabled: I'm an ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep I'm another ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Provide a way to pause the function graph tracer As suggested by Steven Rostedt, the previous patch that prevented from spinlock function tracing shouldn't use the raw_spinlock to fix it. It's much better to follow lockdep with normal spinlock, so this patch adds a new flag for each task to make the function graph tracer able to be paused. We also can send an ftrace_printk whithout worrying of the irrelevant traced spinlock during insertion.

| | * | tracing/ftrace: don't insert TRACE_PRINT during selftestsFrederic Weisbecker2008-12-05

When a selftest occurs, the ring buffer is lurked to see if some entries were inserted. But concurrent insertion such as ftrace_printk could occured at the same time and could give false positive or negative results. This patch prevent prevent from TRACE_PRINT entries insertion during selftests.
