2009-09-15tracing: optimize global_trace_clock cachelinesSteven Rostedt
The prev_trace_clock_time is only read or written to when the trace_clock_lock is taken. For better perfomance, they should share the same cache line. Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-14ftrace: document function and function graph implementationMike Frysinger
While implementing function tracer and function tracer graph support, I found the exact arch implementation details to be a bit lacking (and my x86 foo ain't great). So after pounding out support for the Blackfin arch, start documenting the requirements/details.

2009-09-14tracing: make testing syscall events a separate configurationSteven Rostedt
Parag noticed that the number of event tests has increased tremendously: grep "Testing event" dmesg.31rc9 |wc -l 100 grep "Testing event" dmesg.31git |wc -l 1172 This is due to the testing of every syscall event when ftrace self test is enabled. This adds a bit more time to kernel boot up and can affect development by slowing down the time it takes between reboots. This option makes the testing of the syscall events into a separate config, to still be able to test most of ftrace internals at boot up but not have to wait for all the syscall events to be tested. The syscall event testing only tests the enabling and disabling of the trace point, since the syscalls are not executed. What really needs to be done is to somehow have a userspace tool test the syscall tracepoints as well.

2009-09-14tracing: have TRACE_EVENT macro use __flags to not shadow parameterSteven Rostedt

2009-09-14ring-buffer: typecast cmpxchg to fix PowerPC warningSteven Rostedt
The cmpxchg used by PowerPC does the following: ({ \ __typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o); \ __typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n); \ (__typeof__(*(ptr))) __cmpxchg((ptr), (unsigned long)_o_, \ (unsigned long)_n_, sizeof(*(ptr))); \ }) This does a type check of *ptr to both o and n. Unfortunately, the code in ring-buffer.c assigns longs to pointers and pointers to longs and causes a warning on PowerPC: ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_set': ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_replace': ring_buffer.c:797: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast This patch adds the typecasts inside cmpxchg to annotate that a long is being cast to a pointer and a pointer is being casted to a long and this removes the PowerPC warnings.

2009-09-12tracing: add filter event logic to special, mmiotrace and boot tracersSteven Rostedt
Now that the pluging tracers use macros to create the structures and automate the exporting of their formats to the format files, they also automatically get a filter file.

2009-09-12tracing: use the new trace_entries.h to create format filesSteven Rostedt
This patch changes the way the format files in debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are created. It uses the new trace_entries.h file to automate the creation of the format files to ensure that they are always in sync with the actual structures. This is the same methodology used to create the format files for the TRACE_EVENT macro. This also updates the filter creation that was built on the creation of the format files. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-12tracing: show details of structures within the ftrace structuresSteven Rostedt
Some of the internal ftrace structures use structures within. The output of a field saying it is just a structure is useless for a format file. A binary reader of the ring buffer needs to know more about how the fields are broken up. This patch adds to the ftrace structure macros new fields to describe the structures inside a structure. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-12tracing: use macros to create internal ftrace entry ring buffer structuresSteven Rostedt
The entries used by ftrace internal code (plugins) currently have their formats manually exported to userspace. That is, the format files in debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are currently created by hand. This is a maintenance nightmare, and can easily become out of sync with what is actually shown. This patch uses the methodology of the TRACE_EVENT macros to build the structures so that their formats can be automated and this will keep the structures in sync with what users can see. This patch only changes the way the structures are created. Further patches will build off of this to automate the format files. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-09-12ftrace: __start_mcount_loc should be .init.rodataJohn Reiser
__start_mcount_loc[] is unused after init, yet occupies RAM forever as part of .rodata. 152kiB is typical on a 64-bit architecture. Instead, __start_mcount_loc should be in the interval [__init_begin, __init_end) so that the space is reclaimed after init. __start_mcount_loc[] is generated during the load portion of kernel build, and is used only by ftrace_init(). ftrace_init is declared '__init' and is in .init.text, which is freed after init. __start_mcount_loc is placed into .rodata by a call to MCOUNT_REC inside the RO_DATA macro of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The array *is* read-only, but more importantly it is not used after init. So the call to MCOUNT_REC should be moved from RO_DATA to INIT_DATA. This patch has been tested on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y which verifies that the address range never is accessed after init.

2009-09-11tracing: move tgid out of generic entry and into userstackSteven Rostedt

2009-09-11tracing: add latency format to function_graph tracerSteven Rostedt
While debugging something with the function_graph tracer, I found the need to see the preempt count of the traces. Unfortunately, since the function graph tracer has its own output formatting, it does not honor the latency-format option. This patch makes the function_graph tracer honor the latency-format option, but still keeps control of the output. But now we have the same details that the latency-format supplies. # tracer: function_graph # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / # |||| # CPU|||| DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | |||| | | | | | | 3) d..1 1.333 us | idle_cpu(); 3) d.h1 | tick_check_idle() { 3) d.h1 0.550 us | tick_check_oneshot_broadcast(); 3) d.h1 | tick_nohz_stop_idle() { 3) d.h1 | ktime_get() { 3) d.h1 | ktime_get_ts() { Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-10x86/tracing: comment need for atomic nopSteven Rostedt
The dynamic function tracer relys on the macro P6_NOP5 always being an atomic NOP. If for some reason it is changed to be two operations (like a nop2 nop3) it can faults within the kernel when the function tracer modifies the code. This patch adds a comment to note that the P6_NOPs are expected to be atomic. This will hopefully prevent anyone from changing that.

2009-09-09tracing: do not grab lock in wakeup latency function tracingSteven Rostedt
The wakeup tracer, when enabled, has its own function tracer. It only traces the functions on the CPU where the task it is following is on. If a task is woken on one CPU but then migrates to another CPU before it wakes up, the latency tracer will then start tracing functions on the other CPU. To find which CPU the task is on, the wakeup function tracer performs a task_cpu(wakeup_task). But to make sure the task does not disappear it grabs the wakeup_lock, which is also taken when the task wakes up. By taking this lock, the function tracer does not need to worry about the task being freed as it checks its cpu. Jan Blunck found a problem with this approach on his 32 CPU box. When a task is being traced by the wakeup tracer, all functions take this lock. That means that on all 32 CPUs, each function call is taking this one lock to see if the task is on that CPU. This lock has just serialized all functions on all 32 CPUs. Needless to say, this caused major issues on that box. It would even lockup. This patch changes the wakeup latency to insert a probe on the migrate task tracepoint. When a task changes its CPU that it will run on, the probe will take note. Now the wakeup function tracer no longer needs to take the lock. It only compares the current CPU with a variable that holds the current CPU the task is on. We don't worry about races since it is OK to add or miss a function trace.
