2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel trace functions furtherRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API. Since the last patch was created and acked, more old cpumask users slipped into kernel/trace. Mostly trivial conversions, except struct trace_iterator's "started" member becomes a cpumask_var_t. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel trace functionsRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API. (Eventually, cpumask_var_t will be allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, not NR_CPUS). Convert kernel trace functions to use struct cpumask API: 1) Use cpumask_copy/cpumask_test_cpu/for_each_cpu. 2) Use cpumask_var_t and alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var everywhere. 3) Use on_each_cpu instead of playing with current->cpus_allowed.

Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course. We can drop it if you want. On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free. On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not break the column with strings.... About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

2008-12-29tracing/branch-tracer: adapt to the stat tracing APIFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: refactor the branch tracer This patch adapts the branch tracer to the tracing API. This is a proof of concept because the branch tracer implements two "stat tracing" that were split in two files. So I added an option to the branch tracer: stat_all_branch. If it is set, then trace_stat will output all of the branches entries stats. Otherwise, it will print the annotated branches. Its is a kind of quick trick, waiting for a better solution. By default, the annotated branches stat are sorted by incorrect branch prediction percentage. Ie: correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 0 1 100 native_smp_prepare_cpus smpboot.c 1228 0 1 100 hpet_rtc_timer_reinit hpet.c 1057 0 18032 100 sched_info_queued sched_stats.h 223 0 684 100 yield_task_fair sched_fair.c 984 0 282 100 pre_schedule_rt sched_rt.c 1263 0 13414 100 sched_info_dequeued sched_stats.h 178 0 21724 100 sched_info_switch sched_stats.h 270 0 1 100 get_signal_to_deliver signal.c 1820 0 8 100 __cancel_work_timer workqueue.c 560 0 212 100 verify_export_symbols module.c 1509 0 17 100 __rmqueue_fallback page_alloc.c 793 0 43 100 clear_page_mlock internal.h 129 0 124 100 try_to_unmap_anon rmap.c 1021 0 53 100 try_to_unmap_anon rmap.c 1013 0 6 100 vma_address rmap.c 232 0 3301 100 try_to_unmap_file rmap.c 1082 0 466 100 try_to_unmap_file rmap.c 1077 0 1 100 mem_cgroup_create memcontrol.c 1090 0 3 100 inotify_find_update_watch inotify.c 726 2 30163 99 perf_counter_task_sched_out perf_counter.c 385 1 2935 99 percpu_free allocpercpu.c 138 1544 297672 99 dentry_lru_del_init dcache.c 153 8 1074 99 input_pass_event input.c 86 1390 76781 98 mapping_unevictable pagemap.h 50 280 6665 95 pick_next_task_rt sched_rt.c 889 750 4826 86 next_pidmap pid.c 194 2 8 80 blocking_notifier_chain_regist notifier.c 220 36 130 78 ioremap_pte_range ioremap.c 22 1093 3247 74 IS_ERR err.h 34 1023 2908 73 sched_slice sched_fair.c 445 22 60 73 disk_put_part genhd.h 206 [...] It enables a developer to quickly address the source of incorrect branch predictions.

2008-12-29tracing/ftrace: provide the base infrastructure for histogram tracingFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: extend the tracing API The goal of this patch is to normalize and make more easy the implementation of statistical (histogram) tracing. It implements a trace_stat file into the /debugfs/tracing directory where one can print a one-shot output of statistics/histogram entries. A tracer has to provide two basic iterator callbacks: stat_start() => the first entry stat_next(prev, idx) => the next one. Note that it is adapted for arrays or hash tables or lists.... since it provides a pointer to the previous entry and the current index of the iterator. These two callbacks are called to get a snapshot of the statistics at each opening of the trace_stat file because. The values are so updated between two "cat trace_stat". And the tracer is free to lock its datas during the iteration to keep consistent values. Since it is almost always interesting to sort statisticals values to address the problems by priority, this infrastructure provides a "sorting" of the stat entries too if desired. A tracer has just to provide a stat_cmp callback to compare two entries and the stat tracing infrastructure will build a sorted list of the given entries. A last callback, called stat_headers, can be implemented by a tracer to output headers on its trace. If one of these callbacks is changed on runtime, it just have to signal it to the stat tracing API by calling the init_tracer_stat() helper. Changes in V2: - Fix a memory leak if the user opens multiple times the trace_stat file without closing it. Now we always free our list before rebuilding it.

2008-12-29ftrace: change trace.c to use registered eventsSteven Rostedt
Impact: rework trace.c to use new event register API Almost every ftrace event has to implement its output display in trace.c through a different function. Some events did not handle all the formats (trace, latency-trace, raw, hex, binary), and this method does not scale well. This patch converts the format functions to use the event API to find the event and and print its format. Currently, we have a print function for trace, latency_trace, raw, hex and binary. A trace_nop_print is available if the event wants to avoid output on a particular format. Perhaps other tracers could use this in the future (like mmiotrace and function_graph).

2008-12-23ring-buffer: prevent false positive warningSteven Rostedt
Impact: eliminate false WARN_ON message If an interrupt goes off after the setting of the local variable tail_page and before incrementing the write index of that page, the interrupt could push the commit forward to the next page. Later a check is made to see if interrupts pushed the buffer around the entire ring buffer by comparing the next page to the last commited page. This can produce a false positive if the interrupt had pushed the commit page forward as stated above. Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.

The others are plain wrong as they treatthe bitfield as an integer offset into the character array. Also the size check of the character array is wrong as it includes the trailing \0.

2008-12-18ftrace: add not to regex on filtering functionsSteven Rostedt
Impact: enhancement Ingo Molnar has asked about a way to remove items from the filter lists. Currently, you can only add or replace items. The way items are added to the list is through opening one of the list files (set_ftrace_filter or set_ftrace_notrace) via append. If the file is opened for truncate, the list is cleared. echo spin_lock > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The above will replace the list with only spin_lock echo spin_lock >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The above will add spin_lock to the list. Now this patch adds: echo '!spin_lock' >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter This will remove spin_lock from the list. The limited glob features of these lists also can be notted. echo '!spin_*' >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter This will remove all functions that start with 'spin_' Note: echo '!spin_*' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter will simply clear out the list (notice the '>' instead of '>>') Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-12-18trace: add a way to enable or disable the stack tracerSteven Rostedt
Impact: enhancement to stack tracer The stack tracer currently is either on when configured in or off when it is not. It can not be disabled when it is configured on. (besides disabling the function tracer that it uses) This patch adds a way to enable or disable the stack tracer at run time. It defaults off on bootup, but a kernel parameter 'stacktrace' has been added to enable it on bootup. A new sysctl has been added "kernel.stack_tracer_enabled" to let the user enable or disable the stack tracer at run time.

2008-12-17tracing/ftrace: add the printk-msg-only optionFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: display ftrace_printk messages "as is" By default, ftrace_printk() messages find their output with some other informations like pid, caller, ... Sometimes a developer just want to have the ftrace_printk left "as is", without other information. This is done by providing a default-off option called printk-msg-only. To enable it, just do `echo printk-msg-only > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options` Before the patch: <...>-2739 [000] 145.692153: __might_sleep: I'm an ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep <...>-2739 [000] 145.692155: __might_sleep: I'm another ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep After the patch and the printk-msg-only option enabled: I'm an ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep I'm another ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-17tracing/ftrace: use preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace in ↵Frederic Weisbecker
ring_buffer_time_stamp() Impact: prevent a trace recursion After some tests with function graph tracer under x86-32, I saw some recursions caused by ring_buffer_time_stamp() that calls preempt_enable_no_notrace() which calls preempt_schedule() which is traced itself. This patch re-enables preemption without rescheduling. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-12-13cpumask: change cpumask_scnprintf, cpumask_parse_user, cpulist_parse, and ↵Rusty Russell
cpulist_scnprintf to take pointers. Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected. These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

2008-12-08tracing/function-graph-tracer: append the tracing_graph_flagFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: Provide a way to pause the function graph tracer As suggested by Steven Rostedt, the previous patch that prevented from spinlock function tracing shouldn't use the raw_spinlock to fix it. It's much better to follow lockdep with normal spinlock, so this patch adds a new flag for each task to make the function graph tracer able to be paused. We also can send an ftrace_printk whithout worrying of the irrelevant traced spinlock during insertion.
