* tracing: Fix regression in printk_formats fileSteven Rostedt2011-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | The fix to fix the printk_formats of modules broke the printk_formats of trace_printks in the kernel. The update of what to show via the seq_file was only updated if the passed in fmt was NULL, which happens only on the first iteration. The result was showing the first format every time instead of iterating through the available formats. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ftrace: Revert 8ab2b7efd ftrace: Remove unnecessary disabling of irqsSteven Rostedt2011-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert the commit that removed the disabling of interrupts around the initial modifying of mcount callers to nops, and update the comment. The original comment was outdated and stated that the interrupts were being disabled to prevent kstop machine, which was required with the old ftrace daemon, but was no longer the case. What the comment failed to mention was that interrupts needed to be disabled to keep interrupts from preempting the modifying of the code and then executing the code that was partially modified. Revert the commit and update the comment. Reported-by: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones@redhat.com> Tested-by: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* kprobes/trace: Fix kprobe selftest for gcc 4.6Steven Rostedt2011-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With gcc 4.6, the self test kprobe function: kprobe_trace_selftest_target() is optimized such that kallsyms does not list it. The kprobes test uses this function to insert a probe and test it. But it will fail the test if the function is not listed in kallsyms. Adding a __used annotation keeps the symbol in the kallsyms table.

* ftrace: Add internal recursive checksSteven Rostedt2011-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Witold reported a reboot caused by the selftests of the dynamic function tracer. He sent me a config and I used ktest to do a config_bisect on it (as my config did not cause the crash). It pointed out that the problem config was CONFIG_PROVE_RCU. What happened was that if multiple callbacks are attached to the function tracer, we iterate a list of callbacks. Because the list is managed by synchronize_sched() and preempt_disable, the access to the pointers uses rcu_dereference_raw(). When PROVE_RCU is enabled, the rcu_dereference_raw() calls some debugging functions, which happen to be traced. The tracing of the debug function would then call rcu_dereference_raw() which would then call the debug function and then... well you get the idea. I first wrote two different patches to solve this bug. 1) add a __rcu_dereference_raw() that would not do any checks. 2) add notrace to the offending debug functions. Both of these patches worked. Talking with Paul McKenney on IRC, he suggested to add recursion detection instead. This seemed to be a better solution, so I decided to implement it. As the task_struct already has a trace_recursion to detect recursion in the ring buffer, and that has a very small number it allows, I decided to use that same variable to add flags that can detect the recursion inside the infrastructure of the function tracer. I plan to change it so that the task struct bit can be checked in mcount, but as that requires changes to all archs, I will hold that off to the next merge window.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since users of the function tracer can now pick and choose which functions they want to trace agnostically from other users of the function tracer, we need to pass the ops struct to the ftrace_set_filter() functions. The functions ftrace_set_global_filter() and ftrace_set_global_notrace() is added to keep the old filter functions which are used to modify the generic function tracers.

* | | ftrace: Allow dynamically allocated function tracersSteven Rostedt2011-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that structure will trace. Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount from being preempted before calling the function, unless we modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a preempt_disable. To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between _sdata and _edata.

* | | ftrace: Use counters to enable functions to traceSteven Rostedt2011-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every function has its own record that stores the instruction pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can be used by new functions (loaded modules). These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace, those functions will have its counter incremented. When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced, the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace. When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter is not incremented for this ftrace_ops. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When filtering, allocate a hash to insert the function records. After the filtering is complete, assign it to the ftrace_ops structure. This allows the ftrace_ops structure to have a much smaller array of hash buckets instead of wasting a lot of memory. A read only empty_hash is created to be the minimum size that any ftrace_ops can point to. When a new hash is created, it has the following steps: o Allocate a default hash. o Walk the function records assigning the filtered records to the hash o Allocate a new hash with the appropriate size buckets o Move the entries from the default hash to the new hash.

The global_ops is a ftrace_ops structure that is passed to different functions that can read or modify the filtering of the function tracer. The ftrace_ops structure was modified to hold a filter and notrace hashes so that later patches may allow each ftrace_ops to have its own set of rules to what functions may be filtered.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When multiple users are allowed to have their own set of functions to trace, having the FTRACE_FL_FILTER flag will not be enough to handle the accounting of those users. Each user will need their own set of functions. Replace the FTRACE_FL_FILTER with a filter_hash instead. This is temporary until the rest of the function filtering accounting gets in.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prepare for the accounting system that will allow multiple users of the function tracer, having the FTRACE_FL_NOTRACE as a flag in the dyn_trace record does not make sense. All ftrace_ops will soon have a hash of functions they should trace and not trace. By making a global hash of functions not to trace makes this easier for the transition.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The file debugfs/tracing/printk_formats maps the addresses to the formats that are used by trace_bprintk() so that userspace tools can read the buffer and be able to decode trace_bprintk events to get the format saved when reading the ring buffer directly. This is because trace_bprintk() does not store the format into the buffer, but just the address of the format, which is hidden in the kernel memory. But currently it only exports trace_bprintk()s from the kernel core and not for modules. The modules need their formats exported as well. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
| * | tracing: Convert trace_printk() formats for module to const char *Steven Rostedt2011-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The trace_printk() formats for modules do not show up in the debugfs/tracing/printk_formats file. Only the formats that are for trace_printk()s that are in the kernel core. To facilitate the change to add trace_printk() formats from modules into that file as well, we need to convert the structure that holds the formats from char fmt[], into const char *fmt, and allocate them separately.

* | | block: make unplug timer trace event correspond to the schedule() unplugJens Axboe2011-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is. It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug) or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO queued). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
