2016-04-21perf, bpf: minimize the size of perf_trace_() tracepoint handlerAlexei Starovoitov
move trace_call_bpf() into helper function to minimize the size of perf_trace_*() tracepoint handlers. text data bss dec hex filename 10541679 5526646 2945024 19013349 1221ee5 vmlinux_before 10509422 5526646 2945024 18981092 121a0e4 vmlinux_after It may seem that perf_fetch_caller_regs() can also be moved, but that is incorrect, since ip/sp will be wrong. bpf+tracepoint performance is not affected, since perf_swevent_put_recursion_context() is now inlined. export_symbol_gpl can also be dropped. No measurable change in normal perf tracepoints.

2016-04-07perf, bpf: allow bpf programs attach to tracepointsAlexei Starovoitov
introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT program type and allow it to be attached to the perf tracepoint handler, which will copy the arguments into the per-cpu buffer and pass it to the bpf program as its first argument. The layout of the fields can be discovered by doing 'cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format' prior to the compilation of the program with exception that first 8 bytes are reserved and not accessible to the program. This area is used to store the pointer to 'struct pt_regs' which some of the bpf helpers will use: +---------+ | 8 bytes | hidden 'struct pt_regs *' (inaccessible to bpf program) +---------+ | N bytes | static tracepoint fields defined in tracepoint/format (bpf readonly) +---------+ | dynamic | __dynamic_array bytes of tracepoint (inaccessible to bpf yet) +---------+ Not that all of the fields are already dumped to user space via perf ring buffer and broken application access it directly without consulting tracepoint/format. Same rule applies here: static tracepoint fields should only be accessed in a format defined in tracepoint/format. The order of fields and field sizes are not an ABI.

2016-04-07perf: split perf_trace_buf_prepare into alloc and update partsAlexei Starovoitov
split allows to move expensive update of 'struct trace_entry' to later phase. Repurpose unused 1st argument of perf_tp_event() to indicate event type. While splitting use temp variable 'rctx' instead of '*rctx' to avoid unnecessary loads done by the compiler due to -fno-strict-aliasing Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-04-07perf: remove unused __addr variableAlexei Starovoitov
now all calls to perf_trace_buf_submit() pass 0 as 4th argument which will be repurposed in the next patch which will change the meaning of 1st arg of perf_tp_event() to event_type Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-09-23tracing: Move non perf code out of perf.hSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Commit ee53bbd17257 "tracing: Move the perf code out of trace_event.h" moved more than just the perf code out of trace_event.h, but also removed a bit of the tracing code too. Move it back. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2015-05-13tracing: Rename ftrace_get_offsets_##call() to trace_event_get_offsets_##call()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The function ftrace_get_offsets_##call() is used to find the offset into dynamically allocated trace event fields for printing. It has nothing to do with function tracing. Rename it.

trace_event_define_fields_##call() The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The function ftrace_define_fields_##call() is used to define how to process the trace_event fields. It has nothing to do with function tracing. Rename it.

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The structure ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call is used to define how the trace_events will be printed. It has nothing to do with function tracing. Rename it.

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The structure ftrace_data_offset_##call is used to find the offsets of dynamically allocated fields in trace_events. It has nothing to do with function tracing. Rename it.

2015-05-13tracing: Rename ftrace_raw_##call event structures to trace_event_raw_##callSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_raw_##call structures are built by macros for trace events. They have nothing to do with function tracing. Rename them. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2015-05-13tracing: Rename ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() to trace_trigger_soft_disabled()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() tests if a trace_event is soft disabled (called but not traced), and returns true if it is. It has nothing to do with function tracing and should be renamed.

2015-05-13tracing: Rename FTRACE_EVENT_FL_* flags to EVENT_FILE_FL_*Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The FTRACE_EVENT_FL_* flags are flags to do with the trace_event files in the tracefs directory. They are not related to function tracing. Rename them to a more descriptive name. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2015-05-13tracing: Rename ftrace_output functions to trace_outputSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_output_*() and ftrace_raw_output_*() functions represent the trace_event code. Rename them to just trace_output or trace_raw_output. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2015-05-13tracing: Rename ftrace_event_buffer to trace_event_buffer.Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_event_buffer functions and data structures are for trace_events and not for function hooks. Rename them to trace_event_buffer*. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The structures ftrace_event_call and ftrace_event_class have nothing to do with the function hooks, and are really trace_event structures. Rename ftrace_event_* to trace_event_*.

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The functions (un)register_ftrace_event() is really about trace_events, and the name should be register_trace_event() instead. Also renamed ftrace_event_reg() to trace_event_reg() for the same reason. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2015-05-13tracing: Move the perf code out of trace_event.hSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
