* tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT(), fix !CONFIG_BLOCKLi Zefan2009-06-101-2/+2

* tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()Li Zefan2009-06-091-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds these new capabilities to this tracepoint: - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing - binary tracing without printf overhead - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions ... Cons: - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events. no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL. no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL. This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue. But this may change in the future. - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print. While blktrace do the convertion just before output. Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue. - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry. The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array(). I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing: dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice) 1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s 2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s 3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using those trace events vs blktrace. And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace: # ls -l -h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out Following are some comparisons between TRACE_EVENT and blktrace: plug: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: block_plug: [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: 8,0 P N [kjournald] unplug_io: kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052973: block_unplug_io: [kblockd/0] 1 kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052974: 8,0 U N [kblockd/0] 1 remap: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085042: block_remap: 8,0 W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 kjournald-480 [000] 303.085043: 8,0 A W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 bio_backmerge: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: block_bio_backmerge: 8,0 W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: 8,0 M W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] getrq: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084974: block_getrq: 8,0 W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084975: 8,0 G W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953770: 8,0 G N [bash] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953773: block_getrq: 0,0 N 0 + 0 [bash] rq_complete: konsole-2065 [001] 300.053184: block_rq_complete: 8,0 W () 103669040 + 16 [0] konsole-2065 [001] 300.053191: 8,0 C W 103669040 + 16 [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953811: 8,0 C N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953813: block_rq_complete: 0,0 N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) 0 + 0 [0] rq_insert: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084985: block_rq_insert: 8,0 W 0 () 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084986: 8,0 I W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] Changelog from v2 -> v3: - use the newly introduced __dynamic_array().

* blktrace: correct remap namesAlan D. Brunelle2009-05-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This attempts to clarify names utilized during block I/O remap operations (partition, volume manager). It correctly matches up the /from/ information for both device & sector. This takes in the concept from Kosaki Motohiro and extends it to include better naming for the "device_from" field.

* blktrace: add trace/ to /sys/block/sdaLi Zefan2009-04-161-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: allow ftrace-plugin blktrace to trace device-mapper devices To trace a single partition: # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/enable To trace the whole sda instead: # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/enable Thus we also fix an issue reported by Ted, that ftrace-plugin blktrace can't be used to trace device-mapper devices.

* blktrace: support per-partition tracingShawn Du2009-04-161-11/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Though one can specify '-d /dev/sda1' when using blktrace, it still traces the whole sda. To support per-partition tracing, when we start tracing, we initialize bt->start_lba and bt->end_lba to the start and end sector of that partition. Note some actions are per device, thus we don't filter 0-sector events.

* include blktrace_api.h in headers_installSven Schuetz2008-10-091-26/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This header file is of interest for user space programming, i.e. for tools that process blktrace data. We would like to use it for a tool on-top of blktrace which processes data provided by blktrace. For this purpose, it would be helpful if the blktrace API would make it to /usr/include/linux. The git tree for the blktrace tools comes with its own copy of this header file. I didn't manage to replace that copy with the file generated by the patch below yet. A few more cleanups would be needed. For example, the blktrace ioctl numbers, which are currently defined in usr/include/fs.h, might need to be moved. Should be feasible, though.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently it uses a single static char array, but that risks being corrupted when multiple users issue message notes at the same time. Make the buffers dynamically allocated when the trace is setup and make them per-cpu instead. The default max message size of 1k is also very large, the interface is mainly for small text notes.

* blktrace: Add blktrace ioctls to SCSI generic devicesChristof Schmitt2008-01-281-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since the SCSI layer uses the request queues from the block layer, blktrace can also be used to trace the requests to all SCSI devices (like SCSI tape drives), not only disks. The only missing part is the ioctl interface to start and stop tracing. This patch adds the SETUP, START, STOP and TEARDOWN ioctls from blktrace to the sg device files. With this change, blktrace can be used for SCSI devices like for disks, e.g.: blktrace -d /dev/sg1 -o - | blkparse -i - Signed-off-by: Christof Schmitt <christof.schmitt@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
