* tracing/core: make the read callbacks reentrantsFrederic Weisbecker2009-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be reentrants. Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(), and the seq helpers. Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for the other to finish its read call. The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another function. The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch prediction for that. Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what you think about it.

* tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing filesFrederic Weisbecker2009-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: split up tracing output per cpu Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are available to the user to let him extracting the trace output: - trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are available. - trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ... - trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe). The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations, sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer capture. The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus. But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time one trace buffer per cpu. So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/. Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and one trace file per cpu. Which means if you have two cpus, you will have: trace0 trace1 trace_pipe0 trace_pipe1 And of course, reading these files will have the same effect than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see the traces from the given cpu. The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on their original place. Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu. Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or trace_pipe1. Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never end. The result is a lockup of the box. This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed and all functions were being traced. Something was being called that constantly filled the buffer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming events. This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader. This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer. If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for trace_wait queue is attached.

Make sure that all timer functions call cpu_timer_sample_group() and not cpu_clock_sample_group(). This ensures that we enable the process wide timer in time, and therefore pay the O(n) thread group cost from the syscall. Not doing it here, will result in the first jiffy tick after setting the timer doing this, resulting in a very expensive tick (but only once) and a delay in actually starting the timer.

Some tracing with the function graph tracer quickly pointed out that futex_wait() has exit paths with unbalanced reference counts. This regression was discovered by kmemleak.

But the per cpu idle tasks are not iterated by using do_each_thread / while_each_thread. So we have to iterate on them manually. This fixes somes weirdness in the traces and many losses of traces.

This is because The code was executed twice since the traceoff was added. If a cat is done again: #### all functions enabled #### sys_open:ftrace_traceon do_fork:ftrace_traceoff:ffffffffffffffff The number disappears. That is because it will not print a NULL.

| * | | | | ftrace: add traceon traceoff commands to enable/disable the buffersSteven Rostedt2009-02-16

You can pass in the number of times you want the command to be executed when the function is hit. It will only execute if the state of the buffers are not already in that state. Example: # echo do_fork:traceon:4 Will enable the ring buffers if they are disabled every time it hits do_fork, up to 4 times. # echo sys_close:traceoff This will disable the ring buffers every time (unlimited) when sys_close is called.
