perf/ftrace: Fix double traces of perf on ftrace:function

2017-08-29T11:29:29+00:00

When running perf on the ftrace:function tracepoint, there is a bug which can be reproduced by: perf record -e ftrace:function -a sleep 20 & perf record -e ftrace:function ls perf script ls 10304 [005] 171.853235: ftrace:function: perf_output_begin ls 10304 [005] 171.853237: ftrace:function: perf_output_begin ls 10304 [005] 171.853239: ftrace:function: task_tgid_nr_ns ls 10304 [005] 171.853240: ftrace:function: task_tgid_nr_ns ls 10304 [005] 171.853242: ftrace:function: __task_pid_nr_ns ls 10304 [005] 171.853244: ftrace:function: __task_pid_nr_ns We can see that all the function traces are doubled. The problem is caused by the inconsistency of the register function perf_ftrace_event_register() with the probe function perf_ftrace_function_call(). The former registers one probe for every perf_event. And the latter handles all perf_events on the current cpu. So when two perf_events on the current cpu, the traces of them will be doubled. So this patch adds an extra parameter "event" for perf_tp_event, only send sample data to this event when it's not NULL.

perf: split perf_trace_buf_prepare into alloc and update parts

2016-04-08T01:04:26+00:00

split allows to move expensive update of 'struct trace_entry' to later phase. Repurpose unused 1st argument of perf_tp_event() to indicate event type. While splitting use temp variable 'rctx' instead of '*rctx' to avoid unnecessary loads done by the compiler due to -fno-strict-aliasing Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-03-24T17:52:25+00:00

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Nothing major this round. Mostly small clean ups and fixes. Some visible changes: - A new flag was added to distinguish traces done in NMI context. - Preempt tracer now shows functions where preemption is disabled but interrupts are still enabled. Other notes: - Updates were done to function tracing to allow better performance with perf. - Infrastructure code has been added to allow for a new histogram feature for recording live trace event histograms that can be configured by simple user commands. The feature itself was just finished, but needs a round in linux-next before being pulled.

tracing: Move trace_flags from global to a trace_array field

2015-09-30T19:22:55+00:00

In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace instance trace_array structure. There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace, where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

tracing: Rename ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() to trace_trigger_soft_disabled()

2015-05-13T19:25:39+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() tests if a trace_event is soft disabled (called but not traced), and returns true if it is. It has nothing to do with function tracing and should be renamed.
