From ca0002a179bfa532d009a9272d619732872c49bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Metzger Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2008 09:01:25 +0100 Subject: x86, bts: base in-kernel ds interface on handles Impact: generalize the DS code to shared buffers Change the in-kernel ds.h interface to identify the tracer via a handle returned on ds_request_~(). Tracers used to be identified via their task_struct. The changes are required to allow DS to be shared between different tasks, which is needed for perfmon2 and for ftrace. For ptrace, the handle is stored in the traced task's task_struct. This should probably go into a (arch-specific) ptrace context some time.

Move the BTS buffer allocation for ptrace into ptrace.c. The pointer to the allocated buffer is stored in the traced task's task_struct together with the handle returned by ds_request_bts(). Removes memory accounting code.

When this file is empty, the function graph tracer will act as usual. When the file has a function in it, the function graph tracer will only trace that function. For example: # echo blk_unplug > /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debugfs/tracing/trace [...] ------------------------------------------ | 2) make-19003 => kjournald-2219 ------------------------------------------ 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) | dm_unplug_all() { 2) | dm_get_table() { 2) 1.381 us | _read_lock(); 2) 0.911 us | dm_table_get(); 2) 1. 76 us | _read_unlock(); 2) + 12.912 us | } 2) | dm_table_unplug_all() { 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) 0.778 us | generic_unplug_device(); 2) 2.409 us | } 2) 5.992 us | } 2) 0.813 us | dm_table_put(); 2) + 29. 90 us | } 2) + 34.532 us | } You can add up to 32 functions into this file. Currently we limit it to 32, but this may change with later improvements. To add another function, use the append '>>': # echo sys_read >> /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function blk_unplug sys_read Using the '>' will clear out the function and write anew: # echo sys_write > /debug/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debug/tracing/set_graph_function sys_write Note, if you have function graph running while doing this, the small time between clearing it and updating it will cause the graph to record all functions. This should not be an issue because after it sets the filter, only those functions will be recorded from then on. If you need to only record a particular function then set this file first before starting the function graph tracer. In the future this side effect may be corrected. The set_graph_function file is similar to the set_ftrace_filter but it does not take wild cards nor does it allow for more than one function to be set with a single write. There is no technical reason why this is the case, I just do not have the time yet to implement that. Note, dynamic ftrace must be enabled for this to appear because it uses the dynamic ftrace records to match the name to the mcount call sites.

It's much better to follow lockdep with normal spinlock, so this patch adds a new flag for each task to make the function graph tracer able to be paused. We also can send an ftrace_printk whithout worrying of the irrelevant traced spinlock during insertion.
