2009-02-18tracing: limit the number of loops the ring buffer self test can makeSteven Rostedt1-0/+10
Impact: prevent deadlock if ring buffer gets corrupted This patch adds a paranoid check to make sure the ring buffer consumer does not go into an infinite loop. Since the ring buffer has been set to read only, the consumer should not loop for more than the ring buffer size. A check is added to make sure the consumer does not loop more than the ring buffer size. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-02-18tracing: have function trace select kallsymsSteven Rostedt1-0/+2
Impact: fix output of function tracer to be useful The function tracer is pretty useless if KALLSYMS is not configured. Unless you are good at reading hex values, the function tracer should select the KALLSYMS configuration. Also, the dynamic function tracer will fail its self test if KALLSYMS is not selected.

2009-02-18tracing: disable tracing while testing ring bufferSteven Rostedt1-0/+9
Impact: fix to prevent hard lockup on self tests If one of the tracers are broken and is constantly filling the ring buffer while the test of the ring buffer is running, it will hang the box. The reason is that the test is a consumer that will not stop till the ring buffer is empty. But if the tracer is broken and is constantly producing input to the buffer, this test will never end. The result is a lockup of the box. This happened when KALLSYMS was not defined and the dynamic ftrace test constantly filled the ring buffer, because the filter failed and all functions were being traced. Something was being called that constantly filled the buffer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-02-17tracing/function-graph-tracer: trace the idle tasksFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+5
When the function graph tracer is activated, it iterates over the task_list to allocate a stack to store the return addresses. But the per cpu idle tasks are not iterated by using do_each_thread / while_each_thread. So we have to iterate on them manually. This fixes somes weirdness in the traces and many losses of traces. Examples on two cpus: 0) Xorg-4287 | 2.906 us | } 0) Xorg-4287 | 3.965 us | } 0) Xorg-4287 | 5.302 us | } ------------------------------------------ 0) Xorg-4287 => <idle>-0 ------------------------------------------ 0) <idle>-0 | 2.861 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.526 us | set_normalized_timespec(); 0) <idle>-0 | 7.201 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 8.214 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | | clockevents_program_event() { 0) <idle>-0 | | lapic_next_event() { 0) <idle>-0 | 0.510 us | native_apic_mem_write(); 0) <idle>-0 | 1.546 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 2.583 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 12.435 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 13.470 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.608 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) <idle>-0 | + 23.270 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 24.336 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 25.417 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.593 us | _spin_unlock(); 0) <idle>-0 | + 41.869 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 42.906 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 95.035 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.540 us | menu_reflect(); 0) <idle>-0 | ! 100.404 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.564 us | mce_idle_callback(); 0) <idle>-0 | | enter_idle() { 0) <idle>-0 | 0.526 us | mce_idle_callback(); 0) <idle>-0 | 1.757 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | | cpuidle_idle_call() { 0) <idle>-0 | | menu_select() { 0) <idle>-0 | 0.525 us | pm_qos_requirement(); 0) <idle>-0 | 0.518 us | tick_nohz_get_sleep_length(); 0) <idle>-0 | 2.621 us | } [...] 1) <idle>-0 | 0.518 us | touch_softlockup_watchdog(); 1) <idle>-0 | + 14.355 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | + 22.840 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | + 25.949 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | | handle_irq() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.511 us | irq_to_desc(); 1) <idle>-0 | | handle_edge_irq() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.638 us | _spin_lock(); 1) <idle>-0 | | ack_apic_edge() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.510 us | irq_to_desc(); 1) <idle>-0 | | move_native_irq() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.510 us | irq_to_desc(); 1) <idle>-0 | 1.532 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | 0.511 us | native_apic_mem_write(); ------------------------------------------ 1) <idle>-0 => cat-5073 ------------------------------------------ 1) cat-5073 | 3.731 us | } 1) cat-5073 | | run_local_timers() { 1) cat-5073 | 0.533 us | hrtimer_run_queues(); 1) cat-5073 | | raise_softirq() { 1) cat-5073 | | __raise_softirq_irqoff() { 1) cat-5073 | | /* nr: 1 */ 1) cat-5073 | 2.718 us | } 1) cat-5073 | 3.814 us | } Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-15trace: mmiotrace to the tracer menu in KconfigPekka Paalanen1-0/+23
Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it was forgotten. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64. Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there. Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

2009-02-15mmiotrace: count events lost due to not recordingPekka Paalanen1-4/+10
Impact: enhances lost events counting in mmiotrace The tracing framework, or the ring buffer facility it uses, has a switch to stop recording data. When recording is off, the trace events will be lost. The framework does not count these, so mmiotrace has to count them itself.

"ftrace: use struct pid" commit 978f3a45d9499c7a447ca7615455cefb63d44165 converted ftrace_pid_trace to "struct pid*". But we can't use do_each_pid_task() without rcu_read_lock() even if we know the pid itself can't go away (it was pinned in ftrace_pid_write).

2009-01-22ring-buffer: reset timestamps when ring buffer is resetSteven Rostedt1-0/+3

2009-01-21trace: set max latency variable to zero on defaultSteven Rostedt3-1/+3
Impact: trace max latencies on start of latency tracing This patch sets the max latency to zero whenever one of the irq variant tracers or the wakeup tracer is set to current tracer. Most developers expect to see output when starting up a latency tracer. But since the max_latency is already set to max, and it takes a latency greater than max_latency to be recorded, there is no trace. This is not the expected behavior and has even confused myself.

2009-01-21trace: stop all recording to ring buffer on ftrace_dumpSteven Rostedt1-0/+1
Impact: limit ftrace dump output Currently ftrace_dump only calls ftrace_kill that is a fast way to prevent the function tracer functions from being called (just sets a flag and clears the function to call, nothing else). It is better to also turn off any recording to the ring buffers as well. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-21trace: print ftrace_dump at KERN_EMERG log levelSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
Impact: fix to print out ftrace_dump when expected I was debugging a hard race condition to only find out that after I hit the race, my log level was not at level to show KERN_INFO. The time it took to trigger the race was wasted because I did not capture the trace. Since ftrace_dump is only called from kernel oops (and only when it is set in the kernel command line to do so), or when a developer adds it to their own local tree, the log level of the print should be at KERN_EMERG to make sure the print appears. ftrace_dump is not called by a normal user setup, and will not add extra unwanted print out to the console. There is no reason it should be at KERN_INFO. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-01-21tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix a regression while suspend to diskFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+27
Impact: fix a crash while kernel image restore When the function graph tracer is running and while suspend to disk, some racy and dangerous things happen against this tracer. The current task will save its registers including the stack pointer which contains the return address hooked by the tracer. But the current task will continue to enter other functions after that to save the memory, and then it will store other return addresses, and finally loose the old depth which matches the return address saved in the old stack (during the registers saving). So on image restore, the code will return to wrong addresses. And there are other things: on restore, the task will have it's "current" pointer overwritten during registers restoring....switching from one task to another... That would be insane to try to trace function graphs at these stages. This patch makes the function graph tracer listening on power events, making it's tracing disabled for the current task (the one that performs the hibernation work) while suspend/resume to disk, making the tracing safe during hibernation.

2009-01-20ring-buffer: fix alignment problemSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
Impact: fix to allow some archs to use the ring buffer Commits in the ring buffer are checked by pointer arithmetic. If the calculation is incorrect, then the commits will never take place and the buffer will simply fill up and report an error. Each page in the ring buffer has a small header: struct buffer_data_page { u64 time_stamp; local_t commit; unsigned char data[]; }; Unfortuntely, some of the calculations used sizeof(struct buffer_data_page) to know the size of the header. But this is incorrect on some archs, where sizeof(struct buffer_data_page) does not equal offsetof(struct buffer_data_page, data), and on those archs, the commits are never processed. This patch replaces the sizeof with offsetof. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Function ring_buffer_event_length() provides an interface to detect the length of data stored in an entry. However, the length contains offsets depending on the internal usage. This makes it unusable. This patch fixes this and now ring_buffer_event_length() returns the alligned length that has been used in ring_buffer_lock_reserve().

2008-12-18ftrace: add not to regex on filtering functionsSteven Rostedt1-2/+13
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 Rostedt2-8/+57
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 Weisbecker2-1/+27
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 Weisbecker1-1/+1
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 Russell1-2/+2
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.
