2008-05-23ftrace: disable tracing on failureSteven Rostedt
Since ftrace touches practically every function. If we detect any anomaly, we want to fully disable ftrace. This patch adds code to try shutdown ftrace as much as possible without doing any more harm is something is detected not quite correct. This only kills ftrace, this patch does have checks for other parts of the tracer (irqsoff, wakeup, etc.).

2008-05-23ftrace - fix dynamic ftrace memory leakSteven Rostedt
The ftrace dynamic function update allocates a record to store the instruction pointers that are being modified. If the modified instruction pointer fails to update, then the record is marked as failed and nothing more is done. Worse, if the modification fails, but the record ip function is still called, it will allocate a new record and try again. In just a matter of time, will this cause a serious memory leak and crash the system. This patch plugs this memory leak. When a record fails, it is included back into the pool of records to be used. Now a record may fail over and over again, but the number of allocated records will not increase.

2008-05-23ftrace: user run time file readingSteven Rostedt
This patch creates a file called trace_pipe in the tracing debug directory. This file is a consumer of the trace buffers. This means that reads of this file consumes the entries from the trace buffers so that they will not be read a second time, as contrast to the static buffers latency_trace and trace. Reading from the trace_pipe will remove the entries from trace and latency_trace too. The advantage that trace_pipe has is that it can record live traces. It will block when there is nothing in the buffer, and read the entries as they are entered. An EOF happens when tracing is disabled (tracing_enabled = 0).

2008-05-23ftrace: add a buffer for outputSteven Rostedt

2008-05-23ftrace: change buffers to producer consumerSteven Rostedt
This patch changes the way the CPU trace buffers are handled. Instead of always starting from the trace page head, the logic is changed to a producer consumer logic.

2008-05-23ftrace: irqs off smp_processor_id() fixSteven Rostedt
The irqsoff function tracer did a __get_cpu_var to determine if it should trace the function or not. The problem is that __get_cpu_var can preempt between getting the CPU and reading the cpu variable. This means that the cpu variable that is being read is not from the cpu being run on. At worst, this can give a false positive, where we trace the function when we should not. It will never give a false negative since we only want to trace when interrupts are disabled and we never preempt when they are. This fix adds a check after reading the irq flags to only trace if the interrupts are actually disabled. It also changes the reading of the cpu variable to use a raw_smp_processor_id since we now don't care if we preempt. We still catch that fact.

2008-05-23ftrace: debug smp_processor_id, use notrace preempt disableSteven Rostedt
The debug smp_processor_id caused a recursive fault in debugging the irqsoff tracer. The tracer used a smp_processor_id in the ftrace callback, and this function called preempt_disable which also is traced. This caused a recursive fault (stack overload). Since using smp_processor_id without debugging on does not cause faults with the tracer (even when the tracer is wrong), the debug version should not cause a system reboot. This changes the debug_smp_processor_id to use the notrace versions of preempt_disable and enable.

2008-05-23ftrace: add filter select functions to traceSteven Rostedt
This patch adds two files to the debugfs system: /debugfs/tracing/available_filter_functions and /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The available_filter_functions lists all functions that has been recorded by the ftraced that has called the ftrace_record_ip function. This is to allow users to see what functions have been converted to nops and can be enabled for tracing. To enable functions, simply echo the names (whitespace delimited) into set_ftrace_filter. Simple wildcards are also allowed. echo 'scheduler' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only the scheduler be activated when tracing is enabled. echo 'sched_*' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only the functions starting with 'sched_' be activated. echo '*lock' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only functions ending with 'lock' be activated. echo '*lock*' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only functions with 'lock' in its name be activated. Note: 'sched*lock' will not work. The only wildcards that are allowed is an asterisk and the beginning and or end of the string passed in. Multiple names can be passed in with whitespace delimited: echo 'scheduler *lock *acpi*' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter is also the same as: echo 'scheduler' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo '*lock' >> /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo '*acpi*' >> /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Appending does just that. It appends to the list. To disable all filters simply echo an empty line in: echo > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-05-23ftrace: use dynamic patching for updating mcount callsSteven Rostedt
This patch replaces the indirect call to the mcount function pointer with a direct call that will be patched by the dynamic ftrace routines. On boot up, the mcount function calls the ftace_stub function. When the dynamic ftrace code is initialized, the ftrace_stub is replaced with a call to the ftrace_record_ip, which records the instruction pointers of the locations that call it. Later, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine and patch all the locations to nops. When a ftrace is enabled, the original calls to mcount will now be set top call ftrace_caller, which will do a direct call to the registered ftrace function. This direct call is also patched when the function that should be called is updated. All patching is performed by a kstop_machine routine to prevent any type of race conditions that is associated with modifying code on the fly.

2008-05-23ftrace: add ftrace_enabled sysctl to disable mcount functionSteven Rostedt
This patch adds back the sysctl ftrace_enabled. This time it is defaulted to on, if DYNAMIC_FTRACE is configured. When ftrace_enabled is disabled, the ftrace function is set to the stub return. If DYNAMIC_FTRACE is also configured, on ftrace_enabled = 0, the registered ftrace functions will all be set to jmps, but no more new calls to ftrace recording (used to find the ftrace calling sites) will be called.

2008-05-23ftrace: dynamic enabling/disabling of function callsSteven Rostedt
This patch adds a feature to dynamically replace the ftrace code with the jmps to allow a kernel with ftrace configured to run as fast as it can without it configured. The way this works, is on bootup (if ftrace is enabled), a ftrace function is registered to record the instruction pointer of all places that call the function. Later, if there's still any code to patch, a kthread is awoken (rate limited to at most once a second) that performs a stop_machine, and replaces all the code that was called with a jmp over the call to ftrace. It only replaces what was found the previous time. Typically the system reaches equilibrium quickly after bootup and there's no code patching needed at all. e.g. call ftrace /* 5 bytes */ is replaced with jmp 3f /* jmp is 2 bytes and we jump 3 forward */ 3: When we want to enable ftrace for function tracing, the IP recording is removed, and stop_machine is called again to replace all the locations of that were recorded back to the call of ftrace. When it is disabled, we replace the code back to the jmp. Allocation is done by the kthread. If the ftrace recording function is called, and we don't have any record slots available, then we simply skip that call. Once a second a new page (if needed) is allocated for recording new ftrace function calls. A large batch is allocated at boot up to get most of the calls there. Because we do this via stop_machine, we don't have to worry about another CPU executing a ftrace call as we modify it. But we do need to worry about NMI's so all functions that might be called via nmi must be annotated with notrace_nmi. When this code is configured in, the NMI code will not call notrace.

2008-05-23ftrace: trace preempt off critical timingsSteven Rostedt
Add preempt off timings. A lot of kernel core code is taken from the RT patch latency trace that was written by Ingo Molnar. This adds "preemptoff" and "preemptirqsoff" to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers Now instead of just tracing irqs off, preemption off can be selected to be recorded. When this is selected, it shares the same files as irqs off timings. One can either trace preemption off, irqs off, or one or the other off. By echoing "preemptoff" into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer, recording of preempt off only is performed. "irqsoff" will only record the time irqs are disabled, but "preemptirqsoff" will take the total time irqs or preemption are disabled. Runtime switching of these options is now supported by simpling echoing in the appropriate trace name into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer.

2008-05-23ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timingsSteven Rostedt
This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings (how long interrupts are disabled for). "irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers Note: tracing_max_latency also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs). (default to large number so one must start latency tracing) tracing_thresh threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off is detected to be longer than stated here. If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency is ignored.

"wakeup" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers Also added to /debugfs/tracing tracing_max_latency holds the current max latency for the wakeup wakeup_thresh if set to other than zero, a log will be recorded for every wakeup that takes longer than the number entered in here (usecs for all counters) (deletes previous trace) Examples: (with ftrace_enabled = 0) ============ preemption latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.24-rc8 Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> -------------------------------------------------------------------- latency: 26 us, #2/2, CPU#1 | (M:rt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:2) ----------------- | task: migration/0-3 (uid:0 nice:-5 policy:1 rt_prio:99) ----------------- _------=> CPU# / _-----=> irqs-off | / _----=> need-resched || / _---=> hardirq/softirq ||| / _--=> preempt-depth |||| / ||||| delay cmd pid ||||| time | caller \ / ||||| \ | / quilt-8551 0d..3 0us+: wake_up_process+0x15/0x17 <ffffffff80233e80> (sched_exec+0xc9/0x100 <ffffffff80235343>) quilt-8551 0d..4 26us : sched_switch_callback+0x73/0x81 <ffffffff80338d2f> (schedule+0x483/0x6d5 <ffffffff8048b3ee>) vim:ft=help ============ (with ftrace_enabled = 1) ============ preemption latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.24-rc8 -------------------------------------------------------------------- latency: 36 us, #45/45, CPU#0 | (M:rt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:2) ----------------- | task: migration/1-5 (uid:0 nice:-5 policy:1 rt_prio:99) ----------------- _------=> CPU# / _-----=> irqs-off | / _----=> need-resched || / _---=> hardirq/softirq ||| / _--=> preempt-depth |||| / ||||| delay cmd pid ||||| time | caller \ / ||||| \ | / bash-10653 1d..3 0us : wake_up_process+0x15/0x17 <ffffffff80233e80> (sched_exec+0xc9/0x100 <ffffffff80235343>) bash-10653 1d..3 1us : try_to_wake_up+0x271/0x2e7 <ffffffff80233dcf> (sub_preempt_count+0xc/0x7a <ffffffff8023309e>) bash-10653 1d..2 2us : try_to_wake_up+0x296/0x2e7 <ffffffff80233df4> (update_rq_clock+0x9/0x20 <ffffffff802303f3>) bash-10653 1d..2 2us : update_rq_clock+0x1e/0x20 <ffffffff80230408> (__update_rq_clock+0xc/0x90 <ffffffff80230366>) bash-10653 1d..2 3us : __update_rq_clock+0x1b/0x90 <ffffffff80230375> (sched_clock+0x9/0x29 <ffffffff80214529>) bash-10653 1d..2 4us : try_to_wake_up+0x2a6/0x2e7 <ffffffff80233e04> (activate_task+0xc/0x3f <ffffffff8022ffca>) bash-10653 1d..2 4us : activate_task+0x2d/0x3f <ffffffff8022ffeb> (enqueue_task+0xe/0x66 <ffffffff8022ff66>) bash-10653 1d..2 5us : enqueue_task+0x5b/0x66 <ffffffff8022ffb3> (enqueue_task_rt+0x9/0x3c <ffffffff80233351>) bash-10653 1d..2 6us : try_to_wake_up+0x2ba/0x2e7 <ffffffff80233e18> (check_preempt_wakeup+0x12/0x99 <ffffffff80234f84>) [...] bash-10653 1d..5 33us : tracing_record_cmdline+0xcf/0xd4 <ffffffff80338aad> (_spin_unlock+0x9/0x33 <ffffffff8048d3ec>) bash-10653 1d..5 34us : _spin_unlock+0x19/0x33 <ffffffff8048d3fc> (sub_preempt_count+0xc/0x7a <ffffffff8023309e>) bash-10653 1d..4 35us : wakeup_sched_switch+0x65/0x2ff <ffffffff80339f66> (_spin_lock_irqsave+0xc/0xa9 <ffffffff8048d08b>) bash-10653 1d..4 35us : _spin_lock_irqsave+0x19/0xa9 <ffffffff8048d098> (add_preempt_count+0xe/0x77 <ffffffff8023311a>) bash-10653 1d..4 36us : sched_switch_callback+0x73/0x81 <ffffffff80338d2f> (schedule+0x483/0x6d5 <ffffffff8048b3ee>) vim:ft=help ============ The [...] was added here to not waste your email box space.

2008-05-23ftrace: function tracerSteven Rostedt
This is a simple trace that uses the ftrace infrastructure. It is designed to be fast and small, and easy to use. It is useful to record things that happen over a very short period of time, and not to analyze the system in general.

2008-05-23ftrace: latency tracer infrastructureSteven Rostedt
This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will be used by later patches. If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files to the debugfs: The root tracing directory: /debugfs/tracing/ This patch also adds the following files: available_tracers list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are available. Looking into this file only shows "none" which is used to unregister all tracers. current_tracer The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up. To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that are listed in available_tracers: example: (used with later patches) echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer tracing_enabled echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1) echoing "0" turns it off. latency_trace This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace. trace This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace. iter_ctrl Controls the way the output of traces look. So far there's two controls: echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured) echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by humans. echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly. echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.

2008-05-23ftrace: add basic support for gcc profiler instrumentationArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace" attribute. The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function happens to be registered. [ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar, so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ] Update: It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function. If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop through the functions to call.
