2008-11-28powerpc/ppc32: static ftrace fixes for PPC32Steven Rostedt
Impact: fix for PowerPC 32 code There were some early init code that was not safe for static ftrace to boot on my PowerBook. This code must only use relative addressing, and static mcount performs a compare of the ftrace_trace_function pointer, and gets that with an absolute address. In the early init boot up code, this will cause a fault. This patch removes tracing from the files containing the offending functions.

2008-11-28powerpc: ftrace, do nothing in mcount call for dyn ftraceSteven Rostedt
Impact: quicken mcount calls that are not replaced by dyn ftrace Dynamic ftrace no longer does on the fly recording of mcount locations. The mcount locations are now found at compile time. The mcount function no longer needs to store registers and call a stub function. It can now just simply return. Since there are some functions that do not get converted to a nop (.init sections and other code that may disappear), this patch should help speed up that code. Also, the stub for mcount on PowerPC 32 can not be a simple branch link register like it is on PowerPC 64. According to the ABI specification: "The _mcount routine is required to restore the link register from the stack so that the profiling code can be inserted transparently, whether or not the profiled function saves the link register itself." This means that we must restore the link register that was used to make the call to mcount. The minimal mcount function for PPC32 ends up being: mcount: mflr r0 mtctr r0 lwz r0, 4(r1) mtlr r0 bctr Where we move the link register used to call mcount into the ctr register, and then restore the link register from the stack. Then we use the ctr register to jump back to the mcount caller. The r0 register is free for us to use. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-28ftrace: improve documentationwalimis
Impact: extend documentation with notice of using wild cards correctly We know that we can use wild cards to set set_ftrace_filter, but there's problem when using them naively such as: echo h* > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter If there are files named with "h" prefix in current directory, echo "h*" will echo these filenames to set_ftrace_filter, not the intended "h*". For example: $ cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions |grep ^hr |wc -l 23 $ ls $ touch hraa hrdd $ ls hraa hrdd $ echo hr* > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter $ cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter No output in /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter! If we use '' to escape wild cards, it works: $ ls hraa hrdd $ echo "hr*" > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter $ cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter |wc -l 23 This problem can lead to unexpected result if current directory has a lot of files.

2008-11-28tracing/function-graph-tracer: adjustments of the trace informationsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: increase the visual qualities of the call-graph-tracer output This patch applies various trace output formatting changes: - CPU is now a decimal number, followed by a parenthesis. - Overhead is now on the second column (gives a good visibility) - Cost is now on the third column, can't exceed 9999.99 us. It is followed by a virtual line based on a "|" character. - Functions calls are now the last column on the right. This way, we haven't dynamic column (which flow is harder to follow) on its right. - CPU and Overhead have their own option flag. They are default-on but you can disable them easily: echo nofuncgraph-cpu > trace_options echo nofuncgraph-overhead > trace_options TODO: _ Refactoring of the thread switch output. _ Give a default-off option to output the thread and its pid on each row. _ Provide headers _ .... Here is an example of the new trace style: 0) | mutex_unlock() { 0) 0.639 us | __mutex_unlock_slowpath(); 0) 1.607 us | } 0) | remove_wait_queue() { 0) 0.616 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 0.616 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) 2.779 us | } 0) 0.495 us | n_tty_set_room(); 0) ! 9999.999 us | } 0) | tty_ldisc_deref() { 0) 0.615 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 0.616 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) 2.793 us | } 0) | current_fs_time() { 0) 0.488 us | current_kernel_time(); 0) 0.495 us | timespec_trunc(); 0) 2.486 us | } 0) ! 9999.999 us | } 0) ! 9999.999 us | } 0) ! 9999.999 us | } 0) | sys_read() { 0) 0.796 us | fget_light(); 0) | vfs_read() { 0) | rw_verify_area() { 0) | security_file_permission() { 0) 0.488 us | cap_file_permission(); 0) 1.720 us | } 0) 3. 4 us | } 0) | tty_read() { 0) 0.488 us | tty_paranoia_check(); 0) | tty_ldisc_ref_wait() { 0) | tty_ldisc_try() { 0) 0.615 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 0.615 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) 5.436 us | } 0) 6.427 us | } Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-27tracing/function-graph-tracer: enhancements for the trace outputFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: enhance the output of the graph-tracer This patch applies some ideas of Ingo Molnar and Steven Rostedt. * Output leaf functions in one line with parenthesis, semicolon and duration output. * Add a second column (after cpu) for an overhead sign. if duration > 100 us, "!" if duration > 10 us, "+" else " " * Print output in us with remaining nanosec: u.n * Print duration on the right end, following the indentation of the functions. Use also visual clues: "-" on entry call (no duration to output) and "+" on return (duration output). The name of the tracer has been fixed as well: function-branch becomes function_branch. Here is an example of the new output: CPU[000] dequeue_entity() { - CPU[000] update_curr() { - CPU[000] update_min_vruntime(); + 0.512 us CPU[000] } + 1.504 us CPU[000] clear_buddies(); + 0.481 us CPU[000] update_min_vruntime(); + 0.504 us CPU[000] } + 4.557 us CPU[000] hrtick_update() { - CPU[000] hrtick_start_fair(); + 0.489 us CPU[000] } + 1.443 us CPU[000] + } + 14.655 us CPU[000] + } + 15.678 us CPU[000] + } + 16.686 us CPU[000] msecs_to_jiffies(); + 0.481 us CPU[000] put_prev_task_fair(); + 0.504 us CPU[000] pick_next_task_fair(); + 0.482 us CPU[000] pick_next_task_rt(); + 0.504 us CPU[000] pick_next_task_fair(); + 0.481 us CPU[000] pick_next_task_idle(); + 0.489 us CPU[000] _spin_trylock(); + 0.655 us CPU[000] _spin_unlock(); + 0.609 us CPU[000] ------------8<---------- thread bash-2794 ------------8<---------- CPU[000] finish_task_switch() { - CPU[000] _spin_unlock_irq(); + 0.722 us CPU[000] } + 2.369 us CPU[000] ! } + 501972.605 us CPU[000] ! } + 501973.763 us CPU[000] copy_from_read_buf() { - CPU[000] _spin_lock_irqsave(); + 0.670 us CPU[000] _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); + 0.699 us CPU[000] copy_to_user() { - CPU[000] might_fault() { - CPU[000] __might_sleep(); + 0.503 us CPU[000] } + 1.632 us CPU[000] __copy_to_user_ll(); + 0.542 us CPU[000] } + 3.858 us CPU[000] tty_audit_add_data() { - CPU[000] _spin_lock_irq(); + 0.609 us CPU[000] _spin_unlock_irq(); + 0.624 us CPU[000] } + 3.196 us CPU[000] _spin_lock_irqsave(); + 0.624 us CPU[000] _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); + 0.625 us CPU[000] + } + 13.611 us CPU[000] copy_from_read_buf() { - CPU[000] _spin_lock_irqsave(); + 0.624 us CPU[000] _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); + 0.616 us CPU[000] } + 2.820 us CPU[000] Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The output will look similar to this: CPU[001] dput() { CPU[000] } 726 CPU[001] } 487 CPU[000] do_softirq() { CPU[001] } 2221 CPU[000] __do_softirq() { CPU[000] __local_bh_disable() { CPU[001] unroll_tree_refs() { CPU[000] } 569 CPU[001] } 501 CPU[000] rcu_process_callbacks() { CPU[001] kfree() { What makes this nice is that now you can grep the file and produce readable format for a particular CPU. # cat /debug/tracing/trace > /tmp/trace # grep '^CPU\[000\]' /tmp/trace > /tmp/trace0 # grep '^CPU\[001\]' /tmp/trace > /tmp/trace1 Will give you: # head /tmp/trace0 CPU[000] ------------8<---------- thread sshd-3899 ------------8<---------- CPU[000] inotify_dentry_parent_queue_event() { CPU[000] } 2531 CPU[000] inotify_inode_queue_event() { CPU[000] } 505 CPU[000] } 69626 CPU[000] } 73089 CPU[000] audit_syscall_exit() { CPU[000] path_put() { CPU[000] dput() { # head /tmp/trace1 CPU[001] ------------8<---------- thread pcscd-3446 ------------8<---------- CPU[001] } 4186 CPU[001] dput() { CPU[001] } 543 CPU[001] vfs_permission() { CPU[001] inode_permission() { CPU[001] shmem_permission() { CPU[001] generic_permission() { CPU[001] } 501 CPU[001] } 2205 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-26tracing/function-return-tracer: set a more human readable outputFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: feature This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing. For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack. The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch. Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at some locations. We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this way of processing is much more simpler. 2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function. If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth. I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are. I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part). Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the high part of eax could contain junk values... Here is an example of trace: sys_read() { fget_light() { } 526 vfs_read() { rw_verify_area() { security_file_permission() { cap_file_permission() { } 519 } 1564 } 2640 do_sync_read() { pipe_read() { __might_sleep() { } 511 pipe_wait() { prepare_to_wait() { } 760 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 504 } 1587 clear_buddies() { } 512 add_cfs_task_weight() { } 519 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 5602 dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 496 } 1631 clear_buddies() { } 496 update_min_vruntime() { } 527 } 4580 hrtick_update() { hrtick_start_fair() { } 488 } 1489 } 13700 } 14949 } 16016 msecs_to_jiffies() { } 496 put_prev_task_fair() { } 504 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_rt() { } 496 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_idle() { } 489 ------------8<---------- thread 4 ------------8<---------- finish_task_switch() { } 1203 do_softirq() { __do_softirq() { __local_bh_disable() { } 669 rcu_process_callbacks() { __rcu_process_callbacks() { cpu_quiet() { rcu_start_batch() { } 503 } 1647 } 3128 __rcu_process_callbacks() { } 542 } 5362 _local_bh_enable() { } 587 } 8880 } 9986 kthread_should_stop() { } 669 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { calc_delta_mine() { } 511 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 2813 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-25arch/x86/kernel/pci-calgary_64.c: change simple_strtol to simple_strtoulJulia Lawall
Impact: fix theoretical option string parsing overflow Since bridge is unsigned, it would seem better to use simple_strtoul that simple_strtol. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r2@ long e; position p; @@ e = simple_strtol@p(...) @@ position p != r2.p; type T; T e; @@ e = - simple_strtol@p + simple_strtoul (...) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Cc: muli@il.ibm.com Cc: jdmason@kudzu.us Cc: discuss@x86-64.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-11-25x86: use limited register constraint for setnzSteven Rostedt
Impact: build fix with certain compilers GCC can decide to use %dil when "r" is used, which is not valid for setnz. This bug was brought out by Stephen Rothwell's merging of the branch tracer into linux-next.

2008-11-23tracing/function-return-tracer: free the return stack on free_task()Frederic Weisbecker
Impact: avoid losing some traces when a task is freed do_exit() is not the last function called when a task finishes. There are still some functions which are to be called such as ree_task(). So we delay the freeing of the return stack to the last moment. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-23x86, mmiotrace: fix buffer overrun detectionPekka Paalanen
Impact: fix mmiotrace overrun tracing When ftrace framework moved to use the ring buffer facility, the buffer overrun detection was broken after 2.6.27 by commit | commit 3928a8a2d98081d1bc3c0a84a2d70e29b90ecf1c | Author: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> | Date: Mon Sep 29 23:02:41 2008 -0400 | | ftrace: make work with new ring buffer | | This patch ports ftrace over to the new ring buffer. The detection is now fixed by using the ring buffer API. When mmiotrace detects a buffer overrun, it will report the number of lost events. People reading an mmiotrace log must know if something was missed, otherwise the data may not make sense.
