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.

2009-05-28trace: disable preemption before taking raw spinlocksHeiko Carstens
s390 code uses smp_processor_id() in __raw_spin_lock() code which reveals that a (raw) spinlock is taken without preemption disabled. This can potentially deadlock.

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().

2009-05-06tracing: reset ring buffer when removing modules with eventsSteven Rostedt
Li Zefan found that there's a race using the event ids of events and modules. When a module is loaded, an event id is incremented. We only have 16 bits for event ids (65536) and there is a possible (but highly unlikely) race that we could load and unload a module that registers events so many times that the event id counter overflows. When it overflows, it then restarts and goes looking for available ids. An id is available if it was added by a module and released. The race is if you have one module add an id, and then is removed. Another module loaded can use that same event id. But if the old module still had events in the ring buffer, the new module's call back would get bogus data. At best (and most likely) the output would just be garbage. But if the module for some reason used pointers (not recommended) then this could potentially crash. The safest thing to do is just reset the ring buffer if a module that registered events is removed.

2009-05-05tracing: use proper export symbol for tracing apiSteven Rostedt

2009-05-05tracing: export stats of ring buffers to userspaceSteven Rostedt
This patch adds stats to the ftrace ring buffers: # cat /debugfs/tracing/per_cpu/cpu0/stats entries: 42360 overrun: 30509326 commit overrun: 0 nmi dropped: 0 Where entries are the total number of data entries in the buffer. overrun is the number of entries not consumed and were overwritten by the writer. commit overrun is the number of entries dropped due to nested writers wrapping the buffer before the initial writer finished the commit. nmi dropped is the number of entries dropped due to the ring buffer lock being held when an nmi was going to write to the ring buffer. Note, this field will be meaningless and will go away when the ring buffer becomes lockless.

2009-04-29tracing: fix ref count in splice pagesSteven Rostedt

2009-04-29tracing: have splice only copy full pagesSteven Rostedt
Splice works with pages, it is much more effecient to use an entire page than to copy bits over several pages. Using logdev to trace the internals of the splice mechanism, I was able to see that splice can be very aggressive. When tracing is occurring, and the reader caught up to the writer, and the writer is on the reader page, the reader will copy what is there into the splice page. Splice may iterate over several pages and if the writer is still writing to the page, the reader will keep copying bits to new pages to pass to userspace. This patch changes it to only pass data to userspace if the page is full (the writer has left the page). This has a small side effect that splice can not read a partial page, and must wait for the page to fill. This should not be an issue. If tracing has stopped, then a use of "read" will still read all of the page. [ Impact: better performance for ring buffer splice code ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-04-29tracing: only add splice page if entries existSteven Rostedt
The splice code allocates a page even when the ring buffer is empty. It detects the ring buffer being empty when it it fails to copy anything from the ring buffer into the page. This patch adds a check to see if there is anything in the ring buffer before allocating a page. Thanks to logdev for letting me trace the tracer to find this.

2009-04-28tracing: convert ftrace_dump spinlocks to rawSteven Rostedt
ftrace_dump is used for printing out the contents of the ftrace ring buffer to the console on failure. Currently it uses a spinlock to synchronize the output from multiple failures on different CPUs. This spin lock currently is a normal spinlock and can cause issues with lockdep and lock tracing. This patch converts it to raw since it is for error handling only. The lock is local to the ftrace_dump and is not used by any other infrastructure.

2009-04-14tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT eventsTom Zanussi
This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT. It also hooks up all the tracers that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism. When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were - I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file bug reports. ;-) One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output from the events without filters on them can make it look like the filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing. The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g. cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file. If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before they disappear.

2009-03-24function-graph: add option to calculate graph time or notSteven Rostedt
graph time is the time that a function is executing another function. Thus if function A calls B, if graph-time is set, then the time for A includes B. This is the default behavior. But if graph-time is off, then the time spent executing B is subtracted from A. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-03-23tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix functions call traces imbalanceFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix traces output Sometimes one can observe an imbalance in the traces between function calls and function return traces: func1() { } } The curly brace inside func1() is the return of another function nested inside func1. The return trace have been inserted in the buffer but not the entry. We are storing a return address on the function traces stack while we haven't inserted its entry on the buffer, hence the imbalance on the traces. This is because the tracers doesn't check all failures that can happen on buffer insertion. This patch reports the tracing recursion failures and the ring buffer failures. In such cases, we now restore the original return address for the function, giving up its return trace.

2009-03-23tracing/ftrace: check if debugfs is registered before creating filesFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers, they will attempt to create their option directory and files. But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned as "boot tracers" very early if asked to. Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall), a crash is triggered. Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root tracing directory.

2009-03-23tracing/events: don't use wake up for eventsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix hard-lockup with sched switch events Some ftrace events, such as sched wakeup, can be traced while the runqueue lock is hold. Since they are using trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit(), they call wake_up() which can try to grab the runqueue lock too, resulting in a deadlock. Now for all event, we call a new helper: trace_nowake_buffer_unlock_commit() which do pretty the same than trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit() except than it doesn't call trace_wake_up().

2009-03-22tracing/function-graph-tracer: prevent hangs during self-testsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: detect tracing related hangs Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless loop of timer interrupts servicing. As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely disabling this tracer. For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump the traces after this hang detection.
