* sched: convert nohz_cpu_mask to cpumask_var_t.Rusty Russell2008-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | Impact: (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS. Dynamically allocating cpumasks (when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK) saves space for small nr_cpu_ids but big CONFIG_NR_CPUS. cpumask_var_t is just a struct cpumask for !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.

* sched: convert struct sched_group/sched_domain cpumask_ts to variable bitmapsRusty Russell2008-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: (future) size reduction for large NR_CPUS. We move the 'cpumask' member of sched_group to the end, so when we kmalloc it we can do a minimal allocation: saves space for small nr_cpu_ids but big CONFIG_NR_CPUS. Similar trick for 'span' in sched_domain. This isn't quite as good as converting to a cpumask_var_t, as some sched_groups are actually static, but it's safer: we don't have to figure out where to call alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var.

* sched: wrap sched_group and sched_domain cpumask accesses.Rusty Russell2008-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: trivial wrap of member accesses This eases the transition in the next patch. We also get rid of a temporary cpumask in find_idlest_cpu() thanks to for_each_cpu_and, and sched_balance_self() due to getting weight before setting sd to NULL.

* sched: remove any_online_cpu()Rusty Russell2008-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: use new API any_online_cpu() is a good name, but it takes a cpumask_t, not a pointer. There are several places where any_online_cpu() doesn't really want a mask arg at all. Replace all callers with cpumask_any() and cpumask_any_and().

* sched: convert sched.c from for_each_cpu_mask to for_each_cpu.Rusty Russell2008-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: trivial API conversion This is a simple conversion, but note that for_each_cpu() terminates with i >= nr_cpu_ids, not i == NR_CPUS like for_each_cpu_mask() did. I don't convert all of them: sd->span changes in a later patch, so change those iterators there rather than here.

But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses to the stack. So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current only when the tracer is activated. Typical scheme when tracer is activated: - allocate a return stack for each task in global list. - fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task - exit: free return stack of current - idle init: same as fork I chose a default depth of 50.

This patch typecasts the parameter to debugfs_create_file back to a void pointer. To remind the callbacks that they are pointing to a constant value, I also modified the callback local pointers to be const struct ftrace_pointer * as well.

When printing records with seq_printf in t_show, if the read buffer has overruned by the current record, then this record won't be printed to user space through read buffer, it will just be dropped in this printing. When next printing, t_start should return the "*pos"th record, which is the one dropped by previous printing, but it just returns (m->private + *pos)th record. Here we use a more sane method to implement seq_operations which can be found in kernel code. Thus we needn't initialize m->private. About testing, it's not easy to overrun read buffer, but we can use seq_printf to print more padding bytes in t_show, then it's easy to check whether or not records are lost. This commit has been tested on both condition of overrun and non overrun.

Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun > /debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the right.

| | | | * | tracing/ftrace: implement a set_flag callback for tracersFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-18

But we have no way to implement custom flags handling for a specific tracer. This patch proposes a new callback for the struct tracer which called set_flag and a structure that represents a 32 bits variable flag. A tracer can implement a struct tracer_flags on which it puts the initial value of the flag integer. Than it can place a range of flags with their name and their flag mask on the flag integer. The structure that implement a single flag is called struct tracer_opt. These custom flags will be available through the trace_options file like the general tracing flags. Changing their value is done like the other general flags. For example if you have a flag that calls "foo", you can activate it by writing "foo" or "nofoo" on trace_options. Note that the set_flag callback is optional and is only needed if you want the flags changing to be signaled to your tracer and let it to accept or refuse their assignment.

After all its just that they get called from non-preemptible context: kernel_init() will execute all initcalls, however the first line in kernel_init() is lock_kernel(), which causes the preempt_count to be increased. Any later calls to add_preempt_count() (especially those from the selftests) will therefore not result in a call to trace_preempt_off() since the check below in add_preempt_count() will be false: if (preempt_count() == val) trace_preempt_off(CALLER_ADDR0, get_parent_ip(CALLER_ADDR1)); Hence the trace buffer will be empty. Fix this by releasing the BKL during the self-tests.

The whole difference with normal dynamic function tracing is that we don't need to hook on a particular callback. The only pro that we want is to nop or set dynamically the calls to ftrace_caller (which is ftrace_return_caller here). Some security checks ensure that we are not trying to launch dynamic tracing for return tracing while normal function tracing is already running. An example of trace with getnstimeofday set as a filter: ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (2283 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1396 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1825 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1426 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1464 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1524 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1434 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1464 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1502 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1404 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1397 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1051 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1314 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1344 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1163 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1390 ns) ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1374 ns) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie: -ENOMEM) if it fails. If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the error from the init callback. Note: this will be used for the return tracer.
