2009-06-01ftrace: do not profile functions when disabledSteven Rostedt
A race was found that if one were to enable and disable the function profiler repeatedly, then the system can panic. This was because a profiled function may be preempted just before disabling interrupts. While the profiler is disabled and then reenabled, the preempted function could start again, and access the hash as it is being initialized. This just adds a check in the irq disabled part to check if the profiler is enabled, and if it is not then it will just exit. When the system is disabled, the profile_enabled variable is cleared before calling the unregistering of the function profiler. This unregistering calls stop machine which also acts as a synchronize schedule. [ Impact: fix panic in enabling/disabling function profiler ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-01tracing: make trace pipe recognize latency format flagSteven Rostedt
The trace_pipe did not recognize the latency format flag and would produce different output than the trace file. The problem was partly due that the trace flags in the iterator was not set as well as the trace_pipe zeros out part of the iterator (including the flags) to be able to use the same routines as the trace file. trace_flags of the iterator should not cause any problems when not zeroed out by for trace_pipe.

2009-06-01tracing: remove redundant SOFTIRQ from softirq event tracesSteven Rostedt
After converting the softirq tracer to use te flags options, this caused a regression with the name. Since the flag was used directly it was printed out (i.e. HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ).

2009-06-01tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array()Li Zefan
__string() is limited: - it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types - a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string() becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print. Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used: TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2, TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args), TP_ARGS(args), TP_STRUCT__entry( __field(int, namelen) __dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1) ... ), TP_fast_assign( char *name = __get_str(name); if (args->namelen) memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen); name[args->namelen] = '\0'; __entry->namelen = args->namelen; ), TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d", __entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL __entry->namelen) ); [ Impact: allow defining dynamic size arrays ] Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <4A2384D2.3080403@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-06-01tracing: combine the default tracers into one configSteven Rostedt
Both event tracer and sched switch plugin are selected by default by all generic tracers. But if no generic tracer is enabled, their options appear. But ether one of them will select the other, thus it only makes sense to have the default tracers be selected by one option. [ Impact: clean up kconfig menu ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-01tracing: fix config options to not show when automatically selectedSteven Rostedt
There are two options that are selected by all tracers, but we want to have those options available when no tracer is selected. These are The event tracer and sched switch tracer. The are enabled by all tracers, but if a tracer is not selected we want the options to appear. All tracers including them select TRACING. Thus what we would like to do is: config EVENT_TRACER bool "prompt" depends on TRACING select TRACING But that gives us a bug in the kbuild system since we just created a circular dependency. We only want the prompt to show when TRACING is off. This patch adds GENERIC_TRACER that all tracers will select instead of TRACING. The two options (sched switch and event tracer) will select TRACING directly and depend on !GENERIC_TRACER. This solves the cicular dependency.

2009-06-01ftrace: add kernel command line function filteringSteven Rostedt
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called. This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands. ftrace_notrace=function-list ftrace_filter=function-list Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter. The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions listed. These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively. The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also be used by the command line interface. ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin* Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has the word spin in it. Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering set by the command lines. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-06-02tracing/stat: replace linked list by an rbtree for sortingFrederic Weisbecker
When the stat tracing framework prepares the entries from a tracer to output them to the user, it starts by computing a linear sort through a linked list to give the entries ordered by relevance to the user. This is quite ugly and causes a small latency when we begin to read the file. This patch changes that by turning the linked list into a red-black tree. Athough the whole iteration using the start and next tracer callbacks while opening the file remain the same, it is now much more fast and scalable. The rbtree guarantees O(log(n)) insertions whereas a linked list with linear sorting brought us a O(n) despair. Now the (visible) latency has disapeared.

2009-05-25tracing: add trace_event_read_lock()Lai Jiangshan
I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction through ftrace_find_event(). This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race window between any event dereferencing and module removal. Eg: --Task A-- print_trace_line(trace) { event = find_ftrace_event(trace) --Task B-- trace_module_remove_events(mod) { list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) { unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) { hlist_del(ev->event->node) list_del(....) } } } |--> module removed, the event has been dropped --Task A-- event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data from a freed module. RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code. So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore, and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().

2009-05-19blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad pathStefan Raspl
debugfs directory entries for devices are not removed on some of the failure pathes in do_blk_trace_setup(). One way to reproduce is to start blktrace on multiple devices with insufficient Vmalloc space: Devices will fail with a message like this: BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/sdu failed: 5/Input/output error If so, the respective entries in debugfs (e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/block/sdu) will remain and subsequent attempts to start blktrace on the respective devices will not succeed due to existing directories.

2009-05-15libata: Media rotation rate and form factor heuristicsMartin K. Petersen
This patch provides new heuristics for parsing both the form factor and media rotation rate ATA IDENFITY words. The reported ATA version must be 7 or greater and the device must return values defined as valid in the standard. Only then are the characteristics reported to SCSI via the VPD B1 page. This seems like a reasonable compromise to me considering that we have been shipping several kernel releases that key off the rotation rate bit without any version checking whatsoever.
