* | ftrace: Allow to specify filter field type for ftrace eventsJiri Olsa2012-02-211-13/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding FILTER_TRACE_FN event field type for function tracepoint event, so it can be properly recognized within filtering code. Currently all fields of ftrace subsystem events share the common field type FILTER_OTHER. Since the function trace fields need special care within the filtering code we need to recognize it properly, hence adding the FILTER_TRACE_FN event type. Adding filter parameter to the FTRACE_ENTRY macro, to specify the filter field type for the event.

* | ftrace, perf: Add support to use function tracepoint in perfJiri Olsa2012-02-211-2/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding perf registration support for the ftrace function event, so it is now possible to register it via perf interface. The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered in open/close actions. To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers). This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running. Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops. It is now possible to use function trace within perf commands like: perf record -e ftrace:function ls perf stat -e ftrace:function ls Allowed only for root.

* tracing: Have dynamic size event stack tracesSteven Rostedt2011-07-141-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames. This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for the event processing itself. Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer. For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway. Requested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace codePeter Zijlstra2010-03-261-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

* hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf eventsFrederic Weisbecker2009-11-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of perf events instances. Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc.. The new layering is now made as follows: ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall \ | / / \ | / / / Core breakpoint API / / | / | / Breakpoints perf events | | Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling (Part of core breakpoint API) | | Hardware debug registers Reasons of this rewrite: - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling, implying an easier arch integration - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...) Impact: - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per thread breakpoints references. Todo (in the order): - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement perf_bpcounter_event()) - Support from perf tools Changes in v2: - Follow the perf "event " rename - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events weren't released when a task ended) - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in perf_event_attr. - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch Changes in v3: - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers to the host. Changes in v4: - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a module - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit: TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be set when the guest used debug registers. (Waiting for a reliable optimization) Changes in v5: - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up address registers. - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c Changes in v6: - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@web.de> Cc: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

* tracing, perf: Convert the power tracer into an event tracerArjan van de Ven2009-09-191-17/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer, so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be tracked via "perf".

* tracing: show details of structures within the ftrace structuresSteven Rostedt2009-09-121-7/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the internal ftrace structures use structures within. The output of a field saying it is just a structure is useless for a format file. A binary reader of the ring buffer needs to know more about how the fields are broken up. This patch adds to the ftrace structure macros new fields to describe the structures inside a structure.

* tracing: use macros to create internal ftrace entry ring buffer structuresSteven Rostedt2009-09-121-0/+342
The entries used by ftrace internal code (plugins) currently have their formats manually exported to userspace. That is, the format files in debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are currently created by hand. This is a maintenance nightmare, and can easily become out of sync with what is actually shown. This patch uses the methodology of the TRACE_EVENT macros to build the structures so that their formats can be automated and this will keep the structures in sync with what users can see. This patch only changes the way the structures are created. Further patches will build off of this to automate the format files. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
