* ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events doSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | Convert set_ftrace_pid to use the bitmap like set_event_pid does. This allows for instances to use the pid filtering as well, and will allow for function-fork option to set if the children of a traced function should be traced or not.

* tracing: Make tracer_flags use the right set_flag callbackChunyu Hu2016-03-081-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When I was updating the ftrace_stress test of ltp. I encountered a strange phenomemon, excute following steps: echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-cpu bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument check dmesg: [ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the result The reason is that the trace option test will randomly setup trace option under tracing/options no matter what the current_tracer is. but the set_tracer_option is always using the set_flag callback from the current_tracer. This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter what the the current_tracer is. And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code. And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.

* tracing: Fix race of function probes countingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2014-11-181-21/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function probe counting for traceon and traceoff suffered a race condition where if the probe was executing on two or more CPUs at the same time, it could decrement the counter by more than one when disabling (or enabling) the tracer only once. The way the traceon and traceoff probes are suppose to work is that they disable (or enable) tracing once per count. If a user were to echo 'schedule:traceoff:3' into set_ftrace_filter, then when the schedule function was called, it would disable tracing. But the count should only be decremented once (to 2). Then if the user enabled tracing again (via tracing_on file), the next call to schedule would disable tracing again and the count would be decremented to 1. But if multiple CPUS called schedule at the same time, it is possible that the count would be decremented more than once because of the simple "count--" used. By reading the count into a local variable and using memory barriers we can guarantee that the count would only be decremented once per disable (or enable). The stack trace probe had a similar race, but here the stack trace will decrement for each time it is called. But this had the read-modify- write race, where it could stack trace more than the number of times that was specified. This case we use a cmpxchg to stack trace only the number of times specified. The dump probes can still use the old "update_count()" function as they only run once, and that is controlled by the dump logic itself.

* tracing: Remove mock up poll wait functionSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2014-04-301-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the ring buffer has a built in way to wake up readers when there's data, using irq_work such that it is safe to do it in any context. But it was still using the old "poor man's" wait polling that checks every 1/10 of a second to see if it should wake up a waiter. This makes the latency for a wake up excruciatingly long. No need to do that anymore. Completely remove the different wait_poll types from the tracers and have them all use the default one now.

* ftrace: Remove global function list and call function directlySteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2014-04-211-36/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having a list of global functions that are called, as only one global function is allow to be enabled at a time, there's no reason to have a list. Instead, simply have all the users of the global ops, use the global ops directly, instead of registering their own ftrace_ops. Just switch what function is used before enabling the function tracer. This removes a lot of code as well as the complexity involved with it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Do not try to recreated toplevel set_ftrace_* filesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2014-04-161-6/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the restructing of the function tracer working with instances, the "top level" buffer is a bit special, as the function tracing is mapped to the same set of filters. This is done by using a "global_ops" descriptor and having the "set_ftrace_filter" and "set_ftrace_notrace" map to it. When an instance is created, it creates the same files but its for the local instance and not the global_ops. The issues is that the local instance creation shares some code with the global instance one and we end up trying to create th top level "set_ftrace_*" files twice, and on boot up, we get an error like this: Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_filter' entry Could not create debugfs 'set_ftrace_notrace' entry The reason they failed to be created was because they were created twice, and the second time gives this error as you can not create the same file twice.

* tracing: Add ref_data to function and fgraph tracer structsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-07-181-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The selftest for function and function graph tracers are defined as __init, as they are only executed at boot up. The "tracer" structs that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures need to be annotated with __ref_data. Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next" pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to wait till the next major release.

* tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structureSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-03-151-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max latency. The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat. This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred. The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

* tracing: Fix unsigned int compare of zero in recursion checkSteven Rostedt2013-01-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dan's smatch found a compare bug with the result of the trace_test_and_set_recursion() and comparing to less than zero. If the function fails, it returns -1, but was saved in an unsigned int, which will never be less than zero and will ignore the result of the test if a recursion did happen. Luckily this is the last of the recursion tests, as the infrastructure of ftrace would catch recursions before it got here, except for some few exceptions.

* ftrace: Use only the preempt version of function tracingSteven Rostedt2013-01-221-47/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function tracer had two different versions of function tracing. The disabling of irqs version and the preempt disable version. As function tracing in very intrusive and can cause nasty recursion issues, it has its own recursion protection. But the old method to do this was a flat layer. If it detected that a recursion was happening then it would just return without recording. This made the preempt version (much faster than the irq disabling one) not very useful, because if an interrupt were to occur after the recursion flag was set, the interrupt would not be traced at all, because every function that was traced would think it recursed on itself (due to the context it preempted setting the recursive flag). Now that we have a recursion flag for every context level, we no longer need to worry about that. We can disable preemption, set the current context recursion check bit, and go on. If an interrupt were to come along, it would check its own context bit and happily continue to trace. As the preempt version is faster than the irq disable version, there's no more reason to keep the preempt version around. And the irq disable version still had an issue with missing out on tracing NMI code. Remove the irq disable function tracer version and have the preempt disable version be the default (and only version). Before this patch we had from running: # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done Time: 12.028 Time: 11.945 Time: 11.925 Time: 11.964 Time: 12.002 Time: 11.910 Time: 11.944 Time: 11.929 Time: 11.941 Time: 11.924 (average: 11.9512) Now we have: # echo function > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # for i in `seq 10`; do ./hackbench 50; done Time: 10.285 Time: 10.407 Time: 10.243 Time: 10.372 Time: 10.380 Time: 10.198 Time: 10.272 Time: 10.354 Time: 10.248 Time: 10.253 (average: 10.3012) a 13.8% savings!

* | tracing: Allow tracers to start at core initcallSteven Rostedt2012-10-311-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's times during debugging that it is helpful to see traces of early boot functions. But the tracers are initialized at device_initcall() which is quite late during the boot process. Setting the kernel command line parameter ftrace=function will not show anything until the function tracer is initialized. This prevents being able to trace functions before device_initcall(). There's no reason that the tracers need to be initialized so late in the boot process. Move them up to core_initcall() as they still need to come after early_initcall() which initializes the tracing buffers.

It's a bit more code, but that is the only downside. On the bright side we have: - Ability to make persistent_ram module removable (when needed, we can move ftrace_ops struct into a module). Note that persistent_ram is still not removable for other reasons, but with this patch it's just one thing less to worry about; - Pstore part is more isolated from the generic function tracer. We tried it already by registering our own tracer in available_tracers, but that way we're loosing ability to see the traces while we record them to pstore. This solution is somewhere in the middle: we only register "internal ftracer" back-end, but not the "front-end"; - When there is only pstore tracing enabled, the kernel will only write to the pstore buffer, omitting function tracer buffer (which, of course, still can be enabled via 'echo function > current_tracer').

* | ftrace: Add default recursion protection for function tracingSteven Rostedt2012-07-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As more users of the function tracer utility are being added, they do not always add the necessary recursion protection. To protect from function recursion due to tracing, if the callback ftrace_ops does not specifically specify that it protects against recursion (by setting the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE flag), the list operation will be called by the mcount trampoline which adds recursion protection. If the flag is set, then the function will be called directly with no extra protection. Note, the list operation is called if more than one function callback is registered, or if the arch does not support all of the function tracer features.

Later patches that implement regs passing for the architectures will require having the ftrace_ops set the SAVE_REGS flag, which will tell the arch to take the time to pass a full set of pt_regs to the ftrace_ops callback function. If the arch does not support it then it should pass NULL. If an arch can pass full regs, then it should define: ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS to 1 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120702201821.019966811@goodmis.org Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enableSteven Rostedt2010-06-031-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. 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.

This is because ftrace_process_regex() returns the number of functions that matched the pattern. If the number is not 0, this value is returned by ftrace_regex_write() whereas we want to return the number of bytes virtually written. Also the file offset pointer is not updated in this case. If the number of matched functions is lower than the number of bytes written by the user, this results to a reprocessing of the string given by the user with a lower size, leading to a malformed ftrace regex and then a -EINVAL returned. So, this patch fixes it by returning 0 if no error occured.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Perfcounter reports the following stats for a wide system profiling: # # (2364 samples) # # Overhead Symbol # ........ ...... # 15.40% [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 8.29% [k] read_hpet 5.75% [k] ftrace_caller 3.60% [k] ftrace_call [...] This snapshot has been taken while neither the function tracer nor the function graph tracer was running. With dynamic ftrace, such results show a wrong ftrace behaviour because all calls to ftrace_caller or ftrace_graph_caller (the patched calls to mcount) are supposed to be patched into nop if none of those tracers are running. The problem occurs after the first run of the function tracer. Once we launch it a second time, the callsites will never be nopped back, unless you set custom filters. For example it happens during the self tests at boot time. The function tracer selftest runs, and then the dynamic tracing is tested too. After that, the callsites are left un-nopped. This is because the reset callback of the function tracer tries to unregister two ftrace callbacks in once: the common function tracer and the function tracer with stack backtrace, regardless of which one is currently in use. It then creates an unbalance on ftrace_start_up value which is expected to be zero when the last ftrace callback is unregistered. When it reaches zero, the FTRACE_DISABLE_CALLS is set on the next ftrace command, triggering the patching into nop. But since it becomes unbalanced, ie becomes lower than zero, if the kernel functions are patched again (as in every further function tracer runs), they won't ever be nopped back. Note that ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_call are still patched back to ftrace_stub in the off case, but not the callers of ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_caller. It means that the tracing is well deactivated but we waste a useless call into every kernel function. This patch just unregisters the right ftrace_ops for the function tracer on its reset callback and ignores the other one which is not registered, fixing the unbalance.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: api and pipe waiting change Currently, the waiting used in tracing_read_pipe() is done through a 100 msecs schedule_timeout() loop which periodically check if there are traces on the buffer. This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming events. This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader. This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer. If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for trace_wait queue is attached.
