2009-05-06blktrace: correct remap namesAlan D. Brunelle
This attempts to clarify names utilized during block I/O remap operations (partition, volume manager). It correctly matches up the /from/ information for both device & sector.

2009-05-05ring-buffer: add counters for commit overrun and nmi dropped entriesSteven Rostedt
The WARN_ON in the ring buffer when a commit is preempted and the buffer is filled by preceding writes can happen in normal operations. The WARN_ON makes it look like a bug, not to mention, because it does not stop tracing and calls printk which can also recurse, this is prone to deadlock (the WARN_ON is not in a position to recurse). This patch removes the WARN_ON and replaces it with a counter that can be retrieved by a tracer. This counter is called commit_overrun. While at it, I added a nmi_dropped counter to count any time an NMI entry is dropped because the NMI could not take the spinlock.

2009-04-29tracing/filters: a better event parserTom Zanussi
Replace the current event parser hack with a better one. Filters are no longer specified predicate by predicate, but all at once and can use parens and any of the following operators: numeric fields: ==, !=, <, <=, >, >= string fields: ==, != predicates can be combined with the logical operators: &&, || examples: "common_preempt_count > 4" > filter "((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || sig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter If there was an error, the erroneous string along with an error message can be seen by looking at the filter e.g.: ((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash ^ parse_error: Field not found Currently the caret for an error always appears at the beginning of the filter; a real position should be used, but the error message should be useful even without it. To clear a filter, '0' can be written to the filter file. Filters can also be set or cleared for a complete subsystem by writing the same filter as would be written to an individual event to the filter file at the root of the subsytem. Note however, that if any event in the subsystem lacks a field specified in the filter being set, the set will fail and all filters in the subsytem are automatically cleared. This change from the previous version was made because using only the fields that happen to exist for a given event would most likely result in a meaningless filter. Because the logical operators are now implemented as predicates, the maximum number of predicates in a filter was increased from 8 to 16.

2009-04-29tracing/filters: distinguish between signed and unsigned fieldsTom Zanussi
The new filter comparison ops need to be able to distinguish between signed and unsigned field types, so add an is_signed flag/param to the event field struct/trace_define_fields(). Also define a simple macro, is_signed_type() to determine the signedness at compile time, used in the trace macros. If the is_signed_type() macro won't work with a specific type, a new slightly modified version of TRACE_FIELD() called TRACE_FIELD_SIGN(), allows the signedness to be set explicitly.

2009-04-24tracing/events: reuse trace event ids after overflowSteven Rostedt
With modules being able to add trace events, and the max trace event counter is 16 bits (65536) we can overflow the counter easily with a simple while loop adding and removing modules that contain trace events. This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow searches for available trace event ids. It will still fail if over 65536 events are registered, but considering that a typical kernel only has 22000 functions, 65000 events should be sufficient.

2009-04-23tracing: increase size of number of possible eventsSteven Rostedt
With the new event tracing registration, we must increase the number of events that can be registered. Currently the type field is only one byte, which leaves us only 256 possible events. Since we do not save the CPU number in the tracer anymore (it is determined by the per cpu ring buffer that is used) we have an extra byte to use. This patch increases the size of type from 1 byte (256 events) to 2 bytes (65,536 events). It also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE if we exceed that limit.

2009-04-17tracing: add same level recursion detectionSteven Rostedt
The tracing infrastructure allows for recursion. That is, an interrupt may interrupt the act of tracing an event, and that interrupt may very well perform its own trace. This is a recursive trace, and is fine to do. The problem arises when there is a bug, and the utility doing the trace calls something that recurses back into the tracer. This recursion is not caused by an external event like an interrupt, but by code that is not expected to recurse. The result could be a lockup. This patch adds a bitmask to the task structure that keeps track of the trace recursion. To find the interrupt depth, the following algorithm is used: level = hardirq_count() + softirq_count() + in_nmi; Here, level will be the depth of interrutps and softirqs, and even handles the nmi. Then the corresponding bit is set in the recursion bitmask. If the bit was already set, we know we had a recursion at the same level and we warn about it and fail the writing to the buffer. After the data has been committed to the buffer, we clear the bit. No atomics are needed. The only races are with interrupts and they reset the bitmask before returning anywy.

2009-04-17tracing/events/ring-buffer: expose format of ring buffer headers to usersSteven Rostedt
Currently, every thing needed to read the binary output from the ring buffers is available, with the exception of the way the ring buffers handles itself internally. This patch creates two special files in the debugfs/tracing/events directory: # cat /debug/tracing/events/header_page field: u64 timestamp; offset:0; size:8; field: local_t commit; offset:8; size:8; field: char data; offset:16; size:4080; # cat /debug/tracing/events/header_event type : 2 bits len : 3 bits time_delta : 27 bits array : 32 bits padding : type == 0 time_extend : type == 1 data : type == 3 This is to allow a userspace app to see if the ring buffer format changes or not.

2009-04-17ftrace: use module notifier for function tracerSteven Rostedt
The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF. To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented the hooks as calls directly from the module code. After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes the use of the notify safe with ftrace. Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify any code. This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex.

Though one can specify '-d /dev/sda1' when using blktrace, it still traces the whole sda.

This patch converts the manipulations to use a global link list, and on boot up it adds the items in the section to the list. This change will allow modules to add their tracing events to the list as well.

2009-04-14tracing: make trace_seq operations available for core kernelSteven Rostedt
In the process to make TRACE_EVENT macro work for modules, the trace_seq operations must be available for core kernel code. These operations are quite useful and can be used for other implementations. The main idea is that we create a trace_seq handle that acts very much like the seq_file handle. struct trace_seq *s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s, GFP_KERNEL); trace_seq_init(s); trace_seq_printf(s, "some data %d\n", variable); printk("%s", s->buffer); The main use is to allow a top level function call several other functions that may store printf like data into the buffer. Then at the end, the top level function can process all the data with any method it would like to. It could be passed to userspace, output via printk or even use seq_file: trace_seq_to_user(s, ubuf, cnt); seq_puts(m, s->buffer); Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-04-14tracing: consolidate trace and trace_event headersSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up into two files. The reason for that was that ftrace needed to separate out the declarations from where the #include <linux/tracepoint.h> was used. It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined. The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates all the <traces>.h and <traces>_event_types.h into the <traces>.h file.

2009-04-14ring-buffer: add ring_buffer_discard_commitSteven Rostedt
The ring_buffer_discard_commit is similar to ring_buffer_event_discard but it can only be done on an event that has yet to be commited. Unpredictable results can happen otherwise. The main difference between ring_buffer_discard_commit and ring_buffer_event_discard is that ring_buffer_discard_commit will try to free the data in the ring buffer if nothing has addded data after the reserved event. If something did, then it acts almost the same as ring_buffer_event_discard followed by a ring_buffer_unlock_commit. Note, either ring_buffer_commit_discard and ring_buffer_unlock_commit can be called on an event, not both. This commit also exports both discard functions to be usable by GPL modules.

2009-04-12lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taintFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

2009-04-09module: try_then_request_module must waitHerbert Xu
Since the whole point of try_then_request_module is to retry the operation after a module has been loaded, we must wait for the module to fully load. Otherwise all sort of things start breaking, e.g., you won't be able to read your encrypted disks on the first attempt.

2009-04-09sched: do not count frozen tasks toward loadNathan Lynch
Freezing tasks via the cgroup freezer causes the load average to climb because the freezer's current implementation puts frozen tasks in uninterruptible sleep (D state). Some applications which perform job-scheduling functions consult the load average when making decisions. If a cgroup is frozen, the load average does not provide a useful measure of the system's utilization to such applications. This is especially inconvenient if the job scheduler employs the cgroup freezer as a mechanism for preempting low priority jobs. Contrast this with using SIGSTOP for the same purpose: the stopped tasks do not count toward system load. Change task_contributes_to_load() to return false if the task is frozen. This results in /proc/loadavg behavior that better meets users' expectations.

2009-04-09tracing/syscalls: use a dedicated file headerFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix build warnings and possibe compat misbehavior on IA64 Building a kernel on ia64 might trigger these ugly build warnings: CC arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.o In file included from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:55: arch/ia64/ia32/ia32priv.h:290:1: warning: "elf_check_arch" redefined In file included from include/linux/elf.h:7, from include/linux/module.h:14, from include/linux/ftrace.h:8, from include/linux/syscalls.h:68, from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:18: arch/ia64/include/asm/elf.h:19:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition [...] sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h to import the syscalls tracing prototypes. But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file, especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher level headers. Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.
