| * ftrace: fix dyn ftrace filter selectionSteven Rostedt2008-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: clean up and fix for dyn ftrace filter selection The previous logic of the dynamic ftrace selection of enabling or disabling functions was complex and incorrect. This patch simplifies the code and corrects the usage. This simplification also makes the code more robust. Here is the correct logic: Given a function that can be traced by dynamic ftrace: If the function is not to be traced, disable it if it was enabled. (this is if the function is in the set_ftrace_notrace file) (filter is on if there exists any functions in set_ftrace_filter file) If the filter is on, and we are enabling functions: If the function is in set_ftrace_filter, enable it if it is not already enabled. If the function is not in set_ftrace_filter, disable it if it is not already disabled. Otherwise, if the filter is off and we are enabling function tracing: Enable the function if it is not already enabled. Otherwise, if we are disabling function tracing: Disable the function if it is not already disabled. This code now sets or clears the ENABLED flag in the record, and at the end it will enable the function if the flag is set, or disable the function if the flag is cleared. The parameters for the function that does the above logic is also simplified. Instead of passing in confusing "new" and "old" where they might be swapped if the "enabled" flag is not set. The old logic even had one of the above always NULL and had to be filled in. The new logic simply passes in one parameter called "nop". A "call" is calculated in the code, and at the end of the logic, when we know we need to either disable or enable the function, we can then use the "nop" and "call" properly. This code is more robust than the previous version. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* | function tracing: fix wrong pos computing when read buffer has been fulfilledwalimis2008-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: make output of available_filter_functions complete phenomenon: The first value of dyn_ftrace_total_info is not equal with `cat available_filter_functions | wc -l`, but they should be equal. root cause: When printing functions with seq_printf in t_show, if the read buffer is just overflowed by current function record, then this function won't be printed to user space through read buffer, it will just be dropped. So we can't see this function printing. So, every time the last function to fill the read buffer, if overflowed, will be dropped. This also applies to set_ftrace_filter if set_ftrace_filter has more bytes than read buffer. fix: Through checking return value of seq_printf, if less than 0, we know this function doesn't be printed. Then we decrease position to force this function to be printed next time, in next read buffer. Another little fix is to show correct allocating pages count.

| * ring-buffer: buffer record on/off switchSteven Rostedt2008-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the ring buffers called: tracing_on() tracing_off() When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record into their buffers. tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again. These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called. A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called tracing_on This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch. echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on disables the tracing. echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on enables it. Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers. The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled. There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers: tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers. buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled. cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if an anomaly occurred. The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel called tracing_stop(). Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it. It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit. tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace can reenable it at any time. Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

| * ring-buffer: prevent infinite looping on time stampingSteven Rostedt2008-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: removal of unnecessary looping The lockless part of the ring buffer allows for reentry into the code from interrupts. A timestamp is taken, a test is preformed and if it detects that an interrupt occurred that did tracing, it tries again. The problem arises if the timestamp code itself causes a trace. The detection will detect this and loop again. The difference between this and an interrupt doing tracing, is that this will fail every time, and cause an infinite loop. Currently, we test if the loop happens 1000 times, and if so, it will produce a warning and disable the ring buffer. The problem with this approach is that it makes it difficult to perform some types of tracing (tracing the timestamp code itself). Each trace entry has a delta timestamp from the previous entry. If a trace entry is reserved but and interrupt occurs and traces before the previous entry is commited, the delta timestamp for that entry will be zero. This actually makes sense in terms of tracing, because the interrupt entry happened before the preempted entry was commited, so one may consider the two happening at the same time. The order is still preserved in the buffer. With this idea, instead of trying to get a new timestamp if an interrupt made it in between the timestamp and the test, the entry could simply make the delta zero and continue. This will prevent interrupts or tracers in the timer code from causing the above loop. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| * ftrace: disable tracing on resizeSteven Rostedt2008-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix for bug on resize This patch addresses the bug found here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11996 When ftrace converted to the new unified trace buffer, the resizing of the buffer was not protected as much as it was originally.

* tracing, ring-buffer: add paranoid checks for loopsSteven Rostedt2008-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While writing a new tracer, I had a bug where I caused the ring-buffer to recurse in a bad way. 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.

* ftrace: use kretprobe trampoline name to test in outputSteven Rostedt2008-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: ia64+tracing build fix When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. 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.

* ftrace: handle archs that do not support irqs_disabled_flagsSteven Rostedt2008-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled. Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing the real answer. This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those same archs compile with tracing enabled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* ftrace: perform an initialization for ftrace to enable itFrederic Weisbecker2008-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: corrects a bug which made the non-dyn function tracer not functional With latest git, the non-dynamic function tracer didn't get any trace. The problem was the fact that ftrace_enabled wasn't initialized to 1 because ftrace hasn't any init function when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is disabled. So when a tracer tries to register an ftrace_ops struct, __register_ftrace_function failed to set the hook. This patch corrects it by setting an init function to initialize ftrace during the boot.

* ftrace: fix current_tracer error returnSteven Rostedt2008-10-28

But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny thing is that the tracer would have already been set. This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

* ftrace: stack tracer only record when on stackSteven Rostedt2008-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stack trace API does not record if the stack is not on the current task's stack. That is, if the stack is the interrupt stack or NMI stack, the output does not show. Also, the size of those stacks are not consistent with the size of the thread stack, this makes the calculation of the stack size usually bogus. This all confuses the stack tracer. I unfortunately do not have time to fix all these problems, but this patch does record the worst stack when the stack pointer is on the tasks stack (instead of bogus numbers). The patch simply returns if the stack pointer is not on the task's stack. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The x86 architecture uses a static recording of mcount caller locations and is not affected by this patch.

This patch adds the releasing of the hash functions that the daemon uses to update the mcount call sites. When a module is unloaded, not only are the replaced call site table update, but now so is the hash recorded functions that the ftrace daemon will use. Again, architectures that implement MCOUNT_RECORD are not affected by this (which currently only x86 has).

* ftrace: make some tracers reentrantSteven Rostedt2008-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the ring buffer is reentrant, some of the ftrace tracers (sched_swich, debugging traces) can also be reentrant. Note: Never make the function tracer reentrant, that can cause recursion problems all over the kernel. The function tracer must disable reentrancy.

* ring-buffer: make reentrantSteven Rostedt2008-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces the local_irq_save/restore with preempt_disable/ enable. This allows for interrupts to enter while recording. To write to the ring buffer, you must reserve data, and then commit it. During this time, an interrupt may call a trace function that will also record into the buffer before the commit is made. The interrupt will reserve its entry after the first entry, even though the first entry did not finish yet. The time stamp delta of the interrupt entry will be zero, since in the view of the trace, the interrupt happened during the first field anyway. Locking still takes place when the tail/write moves from one page to the next. The reader always takes the locks. A new page pointer is added, called the commit. The write/tail will always point to the end of all entries. The commit field will point to the last committed entry. Only this commit entry may update the write time stamp. The reader can only go up to the commit. It cannot go past it. If a lot of interrupts come in during a commit that fills up the buffer, and it happens to make it all the way around the buffer back to the commit, then a warning is printed and new events will be dropped.

* ring-buffer: move page indexes into page headersSteven Rostedt2008-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the global head and tail indexes and move them into the page header. Each page will now keep track of where the last write and read was made. We also rename the head and tail to read and write for better clarification. This patch is needed for future enhancements to move the ring buffer to a lockless solution.
