2010-01-14tracing/filters: Add comment for match callbacksLi Zefan
We should be clear on 2 things: - the length parameter of a match callback includes tailing '\0'. - the string to be searched might not be NULL-terminated.

2010-01-06ring-buffer: Add rb_list_head() wrapper around new reader page next fieldSteven Rostedt
If the very unlikely case happens where the writer moves the head by one between where the head page is read and where the new reader page is assigned _and_ the writer then writes and wraps the entire ring buffer so that the head page is back to what was originally read as the head page, the page to be swapped will have a corrupted next pointer. Simple solution is to wrap the assignment of the next pointer with a rb_list_head(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-01-06ring-buffer: Wrap a list.next reference with rb_list_head()David Sharp
This reference at the end of rb_get_reader_page() was causing off-by-one writes to the prev pointer of the page after the reader page when that page is the head page, and therefore the reader page has the RB_PAGE_HEAD flag in its list.next pointer. This eventually results in a GPF in a subsequent call to rb_set_head_page() (usually from rb_get_reader_page()) when that prev pointer is dereferenced. The dereferenced register would characteristically have an address that appears shifted left by one byte (eg, ffxxxxxxxxxxxxyy instead of ffffxxxxxxxxxxxx) due to being written at an address one byte too high.

2009-12-17perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optionalFrederic Weisbecker
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

2009-12-13tracing: Pull up calls to trace_define_common_fields()Li Zefan
Call trace_define_common_fields() in event_create_dir() only. This avoids trace events to handle it from their define_fields callbacks and shrinks the kernel code size: text data bss dec hex filename 5346802 1961864 7103260 14411926 dbe896 vmlinux.o.old 5345151 1961864 7103260 14410275 dbe223 vmlinux.o Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <4B1DC49C.8000107@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
2009-12-13tracing: Extract duplicate ftrace_raw_init_event_foo()Li Zefan
Use a generic trace_event_raw_init() function for all event's raw_init callbacks (but kprobes) instead of defining the same version for each of these. This shrinks the kernel code: text data bss dec hex filename 5355293 1961928 7103260 14420481 dc0a01 vmlinux.o.old 5346802 1961864 7103260 14411926 dbe896 vmlinux.o raw_init can't be removed, because ftrace events and kprobe events use different raw_init callbacks. Though it's possible to totally remove raw_init, I choose to leave it as it is for now.

2009-12-11tracing: Add stack trace to irqsoff tracerSteven Rostedt
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 Rostedt
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 Rostedt
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 Rostedt
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>
