2009-12-11tracing: Add stack trace to irqsoff tracerSteven Rostedt1-0/+2
The irqsoff and friends tracers help in finding causes of latency in the kernel. The also work with the function tracer to show what was happening when interrupts or preemption are disabled. But the function tracer has a bit of an overhead and can cause exagerated readings. Currently, when tracing with /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled = 0, where the function tracer is disabled, the information that is provided can end up being useless. For example, a 2 and a half millisecond latency only showed: # tracer: preemptirqsoff # # preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.32 # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 2463 us, #4/4, CPU#2 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: -4242 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0) # ----------------- # => started at: _spin_lock_irqsave # => ended at: remove_wait_queue # # # _------=> CPU# # / _-----=> irqs-off # | / _----=> need-resched # || / _---=> hardirq/softirq # ||| / _--=> preempt-depth # |||| /_--=> lock-depth # |||||/ delay # cmd pid |||||| time | caller # \ / |||||| \ | / hackbenc-4242 2d.... 0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue The above lets us know that hackbench with pid 2463 grabbed a spin lock somewhere and enabled preemption at remove_wait_queue. This helps a little but where this actually happened is not informative. This patch adds the stack dump to the end of the irqsoff tracer. This provides the following output: hackbenc-4242 2d.... 0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2467us : <stack trace> => sub_preempt_count => _spin_unlock_irqrestore => remove_wait_queue => free_poll_entry => poll_freewait => do_sys_poll => sys_poll => system_call_fastpath Now we see that the culprit of this latency was the free_poll_entry code.

2009-12-11tracing: Add trace_dump_stack()Steven Rostedt1-0/+16
I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling that function and entering a specific if conditional. I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk(). Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations. For example: @@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible: if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) { if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev))) prev->state = TASK_RUNNING; - else + else { deactivate_task(rq, prev, 1); + trace_printk("Deactivating task %s:%d\n", + prev->comm, prev->pid); + trace_dump_stack(); + } switch_count = &prev->nvcsw; } Produces: <...>-3249 [001] 296.105269: schedule: Deactivating task ntpd:3249 <...>-3249 [001] 296.105270: <stack trace> => schedule => schedule_hrtimeout_range => poll_schedule_timeout => do_select => core_sys_select => sys_select => system_call_fastpath Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-12-10ring-buffer: Move resize integrity check under reader lockSteven Rostedt1-4/+4
While using an application that does splice on the ftrace ring buffer at start up, I triggered an integrity check failure. Looking into this, I discovered that resizing the buffer performs an integrity check after the buffer is resized. This check unfortunately is preformed after it releases the reader lock. If a reader is reading the buffer it may cause the integrity check to trigger a false failure. This patch simply moves the integrity checker under the protection of the ring buffer reader lock.

2009-12-10ring-buffer: Use sync sched protection on ring buffer resizingSteven Rostedt1-16/+9
There was a comment in the ring buffer code that says the calling layers should prevent tracing or reading of the ring buffer while resizing. I have discovered that the tracers do not honor this arrangement. This patch moves the disabling and synchronizing the ring buffer to a higher layer during resizing. This guarantees that no writes are occurring while the resize takes place. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-12-09tracing: Fix function graph trace_pipe to properly display failed entriesJiri Olsa1-34/+131
There is a case where the graph tracer might get confused and omits displaying of a single record. This applies mostly with the trace_pipe since it is unlikely that the trace_seq buffer will overflow with the trace file. As the function_graph tracer goes through the trace entries keeping a pointer to the current record: current -> func1 ENTRY func2 ENTRY func2 RETURN func1 RETURN When an function ENTRY is encountered, it moves the pointer to the next entry to check if the function is a nested or leaf function. func1 ENTRY current -> func2 ENTRY func2 RETURN func1 RETURN If the rest of the writing of the function fills the trace_seq buffer, then the trace_pipe read will ignore this entry. The next read will Now start at the current location, but the first entry (func1) will be discarded. This patch keeps a copy of the current entry in the iterator private storage and will keep track of when the trace_seq buffer fills. When the trace_seq buffer fills, it will reuse the copy of the entry in the next iteration. [ This patch has been largely modified by Steven Rostedt in order to clean it up and simplify it. The original idea and concept was from Jirka and for that, this patch will go under his name to give him the credit he deserves. But because this was modify by Steven Rostedt anything wrong with the patch should be blamed on Steven. ] Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <1259067458-27143-1-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-12-09tracing: Add full state to trace_seqJohannes Berg1-11/+50
The trace_seq buffer might fill up, and right now one needs to check the return value of each printf into the buffer to check for that.

2009-12-09tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled bufferSteven Rostedt2-6/+43
If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to determine leaf functions. What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start entry). The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry. The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry). But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf. To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not call into the plugin print functions.

2009-12-09tracing/kprobes: Fix field creation's bad error handlingFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
When we define the common event fields in kprobe, we invert the error handling and return immediately in case of success. Then we omit to define specific kprobes fields (ip and nargs), and specific kretprobes fields (func, ret_ip, nargs). And we only define them when we fail to create common fields. The most visible consequence is that we can't create filter for k(ret)probes specific fields. This patch re-invert the success/error handling to fix it.

2009-12-07tracing: Add pipe_close interfaceSteven Rostedt2-0/+6
An ftrace plugin can add a pipe_open interface when the user opens trace_pipe. But if the plugin allocates something within the pipe_open it can not free it because there exists no pipe_close. The hook to the trace file open has a corresponding close. The closing of the trace_pipe file should also have a corresponding close. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-12-06hw-breakpoints: Use overflow handler instead of the event callbackFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+3
struct perf_event::event callback was called when a breakpoint triggers. But this is a rather opaque callback, pretty tied-only to the breakpoint API and not really integrated into perf as it triggers even when we don't overflow. We prefer to use overflow_handler() as it fits into the perf events rules, being called only when we overflow.
