* tracing: Add support for recording tgid of tasksJoel Fernandes2017-06-271-1/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inorder to support recording of tgid, the following changes are made: * Introduce a new API (tracing_record_taskinfo) to additionally record the tgid along with the task's comm at the same time. This has has the benefit of not setting trace_cmdline_save before all the information for a task is saved. * Add a new API tracing_record_taskinfo_sched_switch to record task information for 2 tasks at a time (previous and next) and use it from sched_switch probe. * Preserve the old API (tracing_record_cmdline) and create it as a wrapper around the new one so that existing callers aren't affected. * Reuse the existing sched_switch and sched_wakeup probes to record tgid information and add a new option 'record-tgid' to enable recording of tgid When record-tgid option isn't enabled to being with, we take care to make sure that there's isn't memory or runtime overhead.

* tracing/ftrace: Add a better way to pass data via the probe functionsSteven Rostedt (VMware)2017-04-201-47/+63
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes (triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the top array. That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but this change sets the ground work for the change. When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init() function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place holder data that it was initialized to the last time. Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions, where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free() function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the place holder if it was allocade during the first init call. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ftrace: Dynamically create the probe ftrace_ops for the trace_arraySteven Rostedt (VMware)2017-04-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and the filters for the probes. This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for each instance, instead of being static.

* tracing: Pass the trace_array into ftrace_probe_ops functionsSteven Rostedt (VMware)2017-04-201-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | Pass the trace_array associated to a ftrace_probe_ops into the probe_ops func(), init() and free() functions. The trace_array is the descriptor that describes a tracing instance. This will help create the infrastructure that will allow having function probes unique to tracing instances. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Have the trace_array hold the list of registered func probesSteven Rostedt (VMware)2017-04-201-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a link list to the trace_array to hold func probes that are registered. Currently, all function probes are the same for all instances as it was before, that is, only the top level trace_array holds the function probes. But this lays the ground work to have function probes be attached to individual instances, and having the event trigger only affect events in the given instance. But that work is still to be done.

* ftrace: Have unregister_ftrace_function_probe_func() return a valueSteven Rostedt (VMware)2017-04-201-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently unregister_ftrace_function_probe_func() is a void function. It does not give any feedback if an error occurred or no item was found to remove and nothing was done.

* ftrace: Remove data field from ftrace_func_probe structureSteven Rostedt (VMware)2017-04-201-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | No users of the function probes uses the data field anymore. Remove it, and change the init function to take a void *data parameter instead of a void **data, because the init will just get the data that the registering function was received, and there's no state after it is called. The other functions for ftrace_probe_ops still take the data parameter, but it will currently only be passed NULL. It will stay as a parameter for future data to be passed to these functions.

* ftrace: Added ftrace_func_mapper for function probe triggersSteven Rostedt (VMware)2017-04-201-15/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to move the ops to the function probes directly, they need a way to map function ips to their own data without depending on the infrastructure of the function probes, as the data field will be going away. New helper functions are added that are based on the ftrace_hash code. ftrace_func_mapper functions are there to let the probes map ips to their data. These can be allocated by the probe ops, and referenced in the function callbacks. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* tracing: Make tracepoint_printk a static_keySteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-11-231-40/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when tracepoint_printk is set (enabled by the "tp_printk" kernel command line), it causes trace events to print via printk(). This is a very dangerous operation, but is useful for debugging. The issue is, it's seldom used, but it is always checked even if it's not enabled by the kernel command line. Instead of having this feature called by a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this will remove the test and jump. To simplify things, the functions output_printk() and trace_event_buffer_commit() were moved from trace_events.c to trace.c. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The creation of the set_event_pid file was assigned to a variable "entry" but that variable was never used. Ideally, it should be used to check if the file was created and warn if it was not. The files header_page, header_event should also be checked and a warning if they fail to be created. The "enable" file was moved up, as it is a more crucial file to have and a hard failure (return -ENOMEM) should be returned if it is not created.

* tracing: Show the preempt count of when the event was calledSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-06-201-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because tracepoint callbacks are done with preemption enabled, the trace events are always called with preempt disable due to the rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace() in __DO_TRACE(). This causes the preempt count shown in the recorded trace event to be inaccurate. It is always one more that what the preempt_count was when the tracepoint was called. If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled, subtract 1 from the preempt_count before recording it in the trace buffer.

| * tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering eventsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-05-031-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Filtering of events requires the data to be written to the ring buffer before it can be decided to filter or not. This is because the parameters of the filter are based on the result that is written to the ring buffer and not on the parameters that are passed into the trace functions. The ftrace ring buffer is optimized for writing into the ring buffer and committing. The discard procedure used when filtering decides the event should be discarded is much more heavy weight. Thus, using a temporary filter when filtering events can speed things up drastically. Without a temp buffer we have: # trace-cmd start -p nop # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 0.790706626 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.71% ) # trace-cmd start -e all # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.566904059 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.27% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.690598511 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.19% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.707486364 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% ) The first run above is without any tracing, just to get a based figure. hackbench takes ~0.79 seconds to run on the system. The second run enables tracing all events where nothing is filtered. This increases the time by 100% and hackbench takes 1.57 seconds to run. The third run filters all events where the preempt count will equal "20" (this should never happen) thus all events are discarded. This takes 1.69 seconds to run. This is 10% slower than just committing the events! The last run enables all events and filters where the filter will commit all events, and this takes 1.70 seconds to run. The filtering overhead is approximately 10%. Thus, the discard and commit of an event from the ring buffer may be about the same time. With this patch, the numbers change: # trace-cmd start -p nop # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 0.778233033 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.38% ) # trace-cmd start -e all # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.582102692 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.28% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.309230710 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.786001924 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.20% ) The first run is again the base with no tracing. The second run is all tracing with no filtering. It is a little slower, but that may be well within the noise. The third run shows that discarding all events only took 1.3 seconds. This is a speed up of 23%! The discard is much faster than even the commit. The one downside is shown in the last run. Events that are not discarded by the filter will take longer to add, this is due to the extra copy of the event.

| * tracing: Add 'hist' event trigger commandTom Zanussi2016-04-191-0/+4

The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables completely defined by the user. This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter. A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users via this simple mechanism. In fact, a large number of the tasks that users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used in the creation of a hash table. The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of the event format files associated with each trace event. By simply consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties of the system. See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples. hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers from a user's perspective as well. The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax. Users start an aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's trigger file: # echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key and a value field named 'hitcount'. To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist' file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file: # cat event/hist The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

On fork, the PIDs are added to the list, and on exit, they are removed. Add a new option called event_fork that when set, PIDs in set_event_pid will automatically get their children PIDs added when they fork, as well as any task that exits will have its PID removed from set_event_pid.

* tracing: Do not have 'comm' filter override event 'comm' fieldSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2016-03-041-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9f61668073a8d "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event. That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated. echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash" itself gets migrated. This fix requires a couple of changes. 1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events fields before looking at the generic filters. 2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function. 3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field. Do the same for "cpu" field, adding a FILTER_CPU and a filter "CPU".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an "enable" file in its event directory. Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where it was not compatible for. Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable" added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory, which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event. One documented way to enable all events is to: cat available_events > set_event But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this now causes an INVALID error: cat: write error: Invalid argument Reported-by: Chunyu Hu <chuhu@redhat.com> Fixes: 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.4+ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* tracing: Add sched_wakeup_new and sched_waking tracepoints for pid filterSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-12-011-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The set_event_pid filter relies on attaching to the sched_switch and sched_wakeup tracepoints to see if it should filter the tracing on schedule tracepoints. By adding the callbacks to sched_wakeup, pids in the set_event_pid file will trace the wakeups of those tasks with those pids. But sched_wakeup_new and sched_waking were missed. These two should also be traced. Luckily, these tracepoints share the same class as sched_wakeup which means they can use the same pre and post callbacks as sched_wakeup does.

It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the trace_options file. - Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific options are global) - New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee pids" * tag 'trace-v4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (68 commits) tracefs: Fix refcount imbalance in start_creating() tracing: Put back comma for empty fields in boot string parsing tracing: Apply tracer specific options from kernel command line. tracing: Add some documentation about set_event_pid ring_buffer: Remove unneeded smp_wmb() before wakeup of reader benchmark tracing: Allow dumping traces without tracking trace started cpus ring_buffer: Fix more races when terminating the producer in the benchmark ring_buffer: Do no not complete benchmark reader too early tracing: Remove redundant TP_ARGS redefining tracing: Rename max_stack_lock to stack_trace_max_lock tracing: Allow arch-specific stack tracer recordmcount: arm64: Replace the ignored mcount call into nop recordmcount: Fix endianness handling bug for nop_mcount tracepoints: Fix documentation of RCU lockdep checks tracing: ftrace_event_is_function() can return boolean tracing: is_legal_op() can return boolean ring-buffer: rb_event_is_commit() can return boolean ring-buffer: rb_per_cpu_empty() can return boolean ring_buffer: ring_buffer_empty{cpu}() can return boolean ring-buffer: rb_is_reader_page() can return boolean ...
| * tracing: Put back comma for empty fields in boot string parsingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-11-031-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Both early_enable_events() and apply_trace_boot_options() parse a boot string that may get parsed later on. They both use strsep() which converts a comma into a nul character. To still allow the boot string to be parsed again the same way, the nul character gets converted back to a comma after the token is processed. The problem is that these two functions check for an empty parameter (two commas in a row ",,"), and continue the loop if the parameter is empty, but fails to place the comma back. In this case, the second parsing will end at this blank field, and not process fields afterward. In most cases, users should not have an empty field, but if its going to be checked, the code might as well be correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the necessary hooks to use the pids loaded in set_event_pid to filter all the events enabled in the tracing instance that match the pids listed. Two probes are added to both sched_switch and sched_wakeup tracepoints to be called before other probes are called and after the other probes are called. The first is used to set the necessary flags to let the probes know to test if they should be traced or not. The sched_switch pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the previous or next task has a matching pid. The sched_switch probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the next task does not match the matching pid. The pre probe allows for probes tracing sched_switch to be traced if necessary. The sched_wakeup pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the current task nor the wakee task has a matching pid. The sched_wakeup post probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the current task does not have a matching pid. Cc: "Paul E.

| * tracing: Use kstrdup_const instead of private implementationRasmus Villemoes2015-10-011-16/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel now has kstrdup_const/kfree_const for reusing .rodata (typically string literals) when possible; there's no reason to duplicate that logic in the tracing system. Moreover, as the comment above core_kernel_data states, it may not always return true for .rodata - that is for example the case on x86_64, where we thus end up kstrdup'ing all the passed-in strings. Arguably, testing for .rodata explicitly (as kstrdup_const does) is also more correct: I don't think one is supposed to be able to change the name after creating the event_subsystem by passing the address of a static char (but non-const) array.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and process namesDaniel Wagner2015-08-111-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By extending the filter rules by more generic fields we can write triggers filters like echo 'stacktrace if cpu == 1' > \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger or echo 'stacktrace if comm == sshd' > \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger CPU and COMM are not part of struct trace_entry. We could add the two new fields to ftrace_common_field list and fix up all depending sides. But that looks pretty ugly. Another thing I would like to avoid that the 'format' file contents changes. All this can be avoided by introducing another list which contains non field members of struct trace_entry.
