percpu: make percpu symbols in tracer unique

2009-10-29T13:34:13+00:00

This patch updates percpu related symbols in kernel tracer such that percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols. This serves two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols. * kernel/trace/trace.c: s/max_data/max_tr_data/ * kernel/trace/trace_hw_branches: s/tracer/hwb_tracer/, s/buffer/hwb_buffer/ Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars which cause name clashes" patch.

tracing/filters: use ring_buffer_discard_commit() in filter_check_discard()

2009-04-13T22:00:56+00:00

This patch changes filter_check_discard() to make use of the new ring_buffer_discard_commit() function and modifies the current users to call the old commit function in the non-discard case. It also introduces a version of filter_check_discard() that uses the global trace buffer (filter_current_check_discard()) for those cases. v2 changes: - fix compile error noticed by Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <1239178554.10295.36.camel@tropicana> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events

2009-04-13T22:00:50+00:00

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. Changes from v1: As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker: - get rid of externs in functions - added unlikely() to filter_check_discard() Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interface

2009-04-07T11:36:20+00:00

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.
