| | | * | | | | | | | | | | | tracing: Allow to disable cmdline recordingLi Zefan2010-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We found that even enabling a single trace event that will rarely be triggered can add big overhead to context switch. (lmbench context switch test) ------------------------------------------------- 2p/0K 2p/16K 2p/64K 8p/16K 8p/64K 16p/16K 16p/64K ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw ctxsw ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- ------- 2.19 2.3 2.21 2.56 2.13 2.54 2.07 2.39 2.51 2.35 2.75 2.27 2.81 2.24 The overhead is 6% ~ 11%. It's because when a trace event is enabled 3 tracepoints (sched_switch, sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new) will be activated to map pid to cmdname. We'd like to avoid this overhead, so add a trace option '(no)record-cmd' to allow to disable cmdline recording.

But instead of creating a default ->reg for perf and ftrace events, the code was scattered with: if (class->reg) class->reg(); else default_reg(); This is messy and can also lead to bugs. This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for the events allowing for the code to directly call the class->reg() without the condition.

This should not cause a buffer overrun as it is written now due to the value for the string format "%03lu" can not be larger than 1000. However, this change makes it correct. By making the size correct we guard against potential future changes that could actually cause a buffer overrun.

A task calls perf_event_exit_task() right before exiting. This helper will detach all the events from the task context and queue their removal through free_event() if they are child tasks. The task also loses its context reference there. Releasing the breakpoint slot from the constraint table is made from free_event() that calls release_bp_slot(). We count the number of breakpoints this task is running by looking at the task's perf_event_ctxp and iterating through its attached events. But at this time, the reference to this context has been cleaned up already. So looking at the event->ctx instead of task->perf_event_ctxp to count the remaining breakpoints should solve the problem. At least it would for child breakpoints, but not for parent ones. If the parent exits before the child, it will remove all its events from the context but free_event() will be called later, on fd release time. And checking the number of breakpoints the task has attached to its context at this time is unreliable as all events have been removed from the context. To solve this, we keep track of the list of per task breakpoints. On top of it, we maintain our array of numbers of breakpoints used by the tasks. We use the context address as a task id. So, instead of looking at the number of events attached to a context, we walk through our list of per task breakpoints and count the number of breakpoints that use the same ctx than the one to be reserved or released from the constraint table, and update the count on top of this result. In the meantime it solves a bad refcounting, it also solves a warning, reported by Paul.

The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

But there's a slight race condition that may cause it to lose a preemption check. This was made to keep the function tracer from recursing on itself by disabling preemption then having the enable call the function tracer again, causing infinite recursion. The bug was assumed to happen if the call was just in schedule, but this is incorrect. The bug is caused by preempt_schedule() which is called by preempt_enable(). The calling of preempt_enable() when NEED_RESCHED was set would call preempt_schedule() which would call the function tracer again. By making the preempt_schedule() and add_preempt_count() notrace then this will prevent the inifinite recursion. This is because the add_preempt_count() would stop the preempt_enable() in the function tracer from calling preempt_schedule() again. The sub_preempt_count() is also made notrace just to keep it symmetric. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

In these uses, execution within the context of a specific workqueue takes the place of the usual RCU read-side primitives such as rcu_read_lock(), and flushing of workqueues takes the place of the usual RCU grace-period primitives. Checking for correct use of rcu_dereference() in such cases requires a test of whether the code is executing in the context of a particular workqueue. This commit adds an in_workqueue_context() function that provides this test. This new function is only defined when lockdep is enabled, which allows it to be used as the second argument of rcu_dereference_check(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Changelog since v4: - Bissectability is now OK - Now generate a WARN_ON_ONCE() for non-initialized rcu_head passed to call_rcu(). Statically initialized objects are detected with object_is_static(). - Rename rcu_head_init_on_stack to init_rcu_head_on_stack. - Remove init_rcu_head() completely. Changelog since v3: - Include comments from Lai Jiangshan This new patch version is based on the debugobjects with the newly introduced "active state" tracker. Non-initialized entries are all considered as "statically initialized". An activation fixup (triggered by call_rcu()) takes care of performing the debug object initialization without issuing any warning. Since we cannot increase the size of struct rcu_head, I don't see much room to put an identifier for statically initialized rcu_head structures. So for now, we have to live without "activation without explicit init" detection. But the main purpose of this debug option is to detect double-activations (double call_rcu() use of a rcu_head before the callback is executed), which is correctly addressed here. This also detects potential internal RCU callback corruption, which would cause the callbacks to be executed twice. Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> CC: David S.

The x86 kgdb uses a case statement for the sparse register accesses. The array which defines the registers (dbg_reg_def) should not be used directly in order to safely work with sparse register definitions. Specifically there was a problem when gdb accesses ORIG_AX, which is accessed only through the case statement. This patch encodes register memory using the size information provided from the debugger which avoids the need to look up the size of the register. The dbg_set_reg() function always further validates the inputs from the debugger. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com>

For the time being individual register get and set will be implemented on a per architecture basis. If an architecture defines DBG_MAX_REG_NUM > 0 then kdb and the gdbstub will use the capability for individually getting and setting architecture specific registers.
