* tracing: do not allow modifying the ftrace events via the event filesSteven Rostedt2009-03-101-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to prevent crash on calling NULL function pointer The ftrace internal records have their format exported via the event system under the ftrace subsystem. These are only for exporting the format to allow binary readers to be able to parse them in a binary output. The ftrace subsystem events can only be enabled via the ftrace tracers and do not have a registering function. The event files expect the event record to have registering function and will call it directly. Passing in a ftrace subsystem event will cause the kernel to crash because it will execute a NULL pointer. This patch prevents the ftrace subsystem from being viewable to the event enabling files.

* tracing: fix printk format specifierSteven Rostedt2009-03-101-7/+6
| | | | | | | | | | Impact: clean up The offsetof and sizeof are of type size_t, and instead of typecasting them to unsigned int for printk formatting, one could just use %zu. Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
* tracing: remove obsolete TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macroSteven Rostedt2009-03-105-13/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: clean up The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is no longer used by trace points and only the DECLARE_TRACE, TRACE_FORMAT or TRACE_EVENT macros should be used by them. Although the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is still used by the internal tracing utility, it should not be used in core kernel code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
* tracing: convert irq trace points to new macrosSteven Rostedt2009-03-101-14/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: enhancement Converted the two irq trace point macros. The entry macro copies the name of the irq handler, thus it is better to simply use the TRACE_FORMAT macro which uses the trace_printk. The return of the handler does not need to record the name, thus the faster C style handler is more approriate. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

* tracing: new format for specialized trace pointsSteven Rostedt2009-03-109-233/+159
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: clean up and enhancement The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro looks quite ugly and is limited in its ability to save data as well as to print the record out. Working with Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old macro, and is more obvious to what it does. Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the sched_switch trace point. The old method looked like this: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_FMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d", prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio) TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN], next_comm, TP_CMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN))) TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio) ), TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d") ); The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields. The new method: /* * Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler: * * (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events, * but used by the latency tracer plugin. ) */ TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_STRUCT__entry( __array( char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, prev_pid ) __field( int, prev_prio ) __array( char, next_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, next_pid ) __field( int, next_prio ) ), TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]", __entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio, __entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio), TP_fast_assign( memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->prev_pid = prev->pid; __entry->prev_prio = prev->prio; memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->next_pid = next->pid; __entry->next_prio = next->prio; ) ); This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts: TP_PROTO: the proto type of the trace point TP_ARGS: the arguments of the trace point TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer TP_printk: the printk format TP_fast_assign: the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data from the trace file. The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function, where the __entry is the handle to the record. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

* tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of ↵Frederic Weisbecker2009-03-0612-309/+158
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | trace_bprintk() Impact: faster and lighter tracing Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(), which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries. Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc...

* tracing: infrastructure for supporting binary recordLai Jiangshan2009-03-067-0/+240
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: save on memory for tracing Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry, struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events. A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it. So we need a generic binary record for events.

| * vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 usersFrederic Weisbecker2009-03-061-431/+541
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster. Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting job from tracing time to output time. Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace file. The new implementation stores the address of the format string and the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact and faster to insert. Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done. The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits. Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most possible common bits from these functions. The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see other parts that could be worth factorized. Changes in V2: - Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside a structure. Changes in v3: - Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string() Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns. It would be too risky. - Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains). - Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p Changes in v4: - drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char * (thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).

| * printk: introduce printk_once()Ingo Molnar2009-02-051-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This pattern shows up frequently in the kernel: static int once = 1; ... if (once) { once = 0; printk(KERN_ERR "message\n"); } ... So add a printk_once() helper macro that reduces this to a single line of: printk_once(KERN_ERR "message\n"); It works analogously to WARN_ONCE() & friends. (We use a macro not an inline because vararg expansion in inlines looks awkward and the macro is simple enough.) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In past days, ftrace_pid_write() used ftrace_start_lock, but commit e6ea44e9b4c12325337cd1c06103cd515a1c02b2 consolidated ftrace_start_lock to ftrace_lock.

These are not the functions a developer most likely wants to use when they want to insert a place to stop tracing and restart it from user space. tracing_start/tracing_stop was created to work with things like suspend to ram, where even calling smp_processor_id() can crash the system. The tracing_start/tracing_stop was used to stop the tracer from doing anything. These are still light weight functions, but add a bit more overhead to be able to stop the tracers. They also have no interface back to userland. That is, if the kernel calls tracing_stop, userland can not start tracing. What a developer most likely wants to use is tracing_on/tracing_off. These are very light weight functions (simply sets or clears a bit). These functions just stop recording into the ring buffer. The tracers don't even know that this happens except that they would receive NULL from the ring_buffer_lock_reserve function. Also, there's a way for the user land to enable or disable this bit. In debugfs/tracing/tracing_on, a user may echo "0" (same as tracing_off()) or echo "1" (same as tracing_on()) into this file. This becomes handy when a kernel developer is debugging and wants tracing to turn off when it hits an anomaly. Then the developer can examine the trace, and restart tracing if they want to try again (echo 1 > tracing_on). This patch moves the prototypes for tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h and comments their use, so that a kernel developer will know how to use them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the removal of the latency_trace file, we lost the ability to see some of the finer details in a trace. Like the state of interrupts enabled, the preempt count, need resched, and if we are in an interrupt handler, softirq handler or not. This patch simply creates an option to bring back the old format. This also removes the warning about an unused variable that held the latency_trace file operations. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| * | tracing: fix seq read from trace filesSteven Rostedt2009-03-041-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The buffer used by trace_seq was updated incorrectly. Instead of consuming what was actually read, it consumed the rest of the buffer on reads. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| * | tracing: do not return EFAULT if read copied anythingSteven Rostedt2009-03-041-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix trace read to conform to standards Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso and H. Peter Anvin brought to my attention that a userspace read should not return -EFAULT if it succeeded in copying anything. It should only return -EFAULT if it failed to copy at all. This patch modifies the check of copy_from_user and updates the return code appropriately. I also used H. Peter Anvin's short cut rule to just test ret == count.

| * | ring-buffer: fix timestamp in partial ring_buffer_page_readSteven Rostedt2009-03-041-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a partial ring_buffer_page_read happens, then some of the incremental timestamps may be lost. This patch writes the recent timestamp into the page that is passed back to the caller. A partial ring_buffer_page_read is where the full page would not be written back to the user, and instead, just part of the page is copied to the user. A full page would be a page swap with the ring buffer and the timestamps would be correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| * | tracing: add cpu_file intialization for ftrace_dumpSteven Rostedt2009-03-041-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to ftrace_dump output corruption The commit: b04cc6b1f6398b0e0b60d37e27ce51b4899672ec tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files added a new field to the iterator called cpu_file. This was a handle to differentiate between the per cpu trace output files and the all cpu "trace" file. The all cpu "trace" file required setting this to TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU. The problem is that the ftrace_dump sets up its own iterator but was not updated to handle this change. The result was only CPU 0 printing out on crash and a lot of "<0>"'s also being printed.
