* x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace codePeter Zijlstra2010-03-261-312/+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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates percpu related symbols in kernel tracer such that percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols.

| * x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interfaceMarkus Metzger2009-04-071-121/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu() context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep. Add _noirq variants for most functions, which may be called with interrupts disabled. Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be controlled from any cpu. Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the unnecessary spinlock. Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface. Defer the ds selftest.

* | tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT eventsTom Zanussi2009-04-141-0/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT. It also hooks up all the tracers that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism. When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were - I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file bug reports. ;-) One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output from the events without filters on them can make it look like the filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing. The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g. cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file. If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before they disappear.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function bts_trace_init() references a variable bts_hotcpu_notifier which is marked as __cpuinitdata. Thus causes section mismatch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is implicit with which CPU buffer it is on. The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu). Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed. This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu, unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to retrieve the cpu identifier. This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes all the users that should have been using iter->cpu. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
