This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.
A new counter sampling attribute is added:
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:
perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
perf report -D
0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9

0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33
The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.
Translation:
struct trace_entry {
type = 0x2b = 43;
flags = 1;
preempt_count = 2;
pid = 0xa = 10;
tgid = 0xa = 10;
}
thread_comm = "events/1"
thread_pid = 0xa = 10;
func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()
What will come next?
- Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
for perf trace, etc.
- The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
- Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
protection.
- [...]
- Profit! :-)

graph tracer file
The function graph events helpers which insert the function entry and
return events into the ring buffer currently reside in trace.c
But this file is quite overloaded and the right place for these helpers
is in the function graph tracer file.
Then move them to trace_functions_graph.c

Currently a subsystem filter should be applicable to all events
under the subsystem, and if it failed, all the event filters
will be cleared. Those behaviors make subsys filter much less
useful:
# echo 'vec == 1' > irq/softirq_entry/filter
# echo 'irq == 5' > irq/filter
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat irq/softirq_entry/filter
none
I'd expect it set the filter for irq_handler_entry/exit, and
not touch softirq_entry/exit.
The basic idea is, try to see if the filter can be applied
to which events, and then just apply to the those events:
# echo 'vec == 1' > softirq_entry/filter
# echo 'irq == 5' > filter
# cat irq_handler_entry/filter
irq == 5
# cat softirq_entry/filter
vec == 1
Changelog for v2:
- do some cleanups to address Frederic's comments.

struct trace_ksym is used as an entry in hbp list, and is also
used as trace_entry stored in ring buffer.
This is not necessary and is a waste of memory in ring buffer.
There is also a bug that dereferencing field->ksym_hbp in
ksym_trace_output() can be invalid.

In hunting down the cause for the hwlat_detector ring buffer spew in
my failed -next builds it became obvious that folks are now treating
ring_buffer as something that is generic independent of tracing and thus,
suitable for public driver consumption.
Given that there are only a few minor areas in ring_buffer that have any
reliance on CONFIG_TRACING or CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, provide stubs for
those and make it generally available.

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.

A module will add/remove its trace events when it gets loaded/unloaded, so
the ftrace_events list is not "const", and concurrent access needs to be
protected.
This patch thus fixes races between loading/unloding modules and read
'available_events' or read/write 'set_event', etc.
Below shows how to reproduce the race:
# for ((; ;)) { cat /mnt/tracing/available_events; } > /dev/null &
# for ((; ;)) { insmod trace-events-sample.ko; rmmod sample; } &

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.

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.

Impact: makes it possible to define events in modules
The events are created by reading down the section that they are linked
in by the macros. But this is not scalable to modules. 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.
Note, this change alone does not permit modules to use the TRACE_EVENT macros,
but the change is needed for them to eventually do so.

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);

This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched
on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of
previous versions.
It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which
does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of
the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are
allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization.
Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions
currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately
switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of
the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently
executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're
currently using.
In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied
into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none()
functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new
filter. In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a
previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the
filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*. In
that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the
filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_*
function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false
positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds.
So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad
match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with
that, IMHO.
The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists
are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start. They could
probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is
completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another
one to do that later on.
Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events,
currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded
str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

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.
Changes from v1:
As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker:
- get rid of externs in functions
- added unlikely() to filter_check_discard()

ns2usecs() returns 'long', it's incorrect.
(In i386)
...
<idle>-0 [000] 521.442100: _spin_lock <-tick_do_update_jiffies64
<idle>-0 [000] 521.442101: do_timer <-tick_do_update_jiffies64
<idle>-0 [000] 521.442102: update_wall_time <-do_timer
<idle>-0 [000] 521.442102: update_xtime_cache <-update_wall_time
....
(It always print the time less than 2200 seconds besides ...)
Because 'long' is 32bits in i386. ( (1<<31) useconds is about 2200 seconds)
...
<idle>-0 [001] 4154502640.134759: rcu_bh_qsctr_inc <-__do_softirq
<idle>-0 [001] 4154502640.134760: _local_bh_enable <-__do_softirq
<idle>-0 [001] 4154502640.134761: idle_cpu <-irq_exit
...
(very large value)
Because 'long' is a signed type and it is 32bits in i386.
Changes in v2:
return 'unsigned long long' instead of 'cycle_t'

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.

Impact: give user a choice to show times spent while sleeping
The user may want to see the time a function spent sleeping.
This patch adds the trace option "sleep-time" to allow that.
The "sleep-time" option is default on.
echo sleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options
produces:
------------------------------------------
2) avahi-d-3428 => <idle>-0
------------------------------------------
2) | finish_task_switch() {
2) 0.621 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
2) 2.202 us | }
2) ! 1002.197 us | }
2) ! 1003.521 us | }
where as,
echo nosleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options
produces:
0) <idle>-0 => yum-upd-3416
------------------------------------------
0) | finish_task_switch() {
0) 0.643 us | _spin_unlock_irq();
0) 2.342 us | }
0) + 41.302 us | }

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().

This patch adds per-subsystem filtering to the event tracing subsystem.
It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each subsystem directory. This file
can be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the
current set of filters set for that subsystem.
Basically what it does is propagate the filter down to each event
contained in the subsystem. If a particular event doesn't have a field
with the name specified in the filter, it simply doesn't get set for
that event. You can verify whether or not the filter was set for a
particular event by looking at the filter file for that event.
As with per-event filters, compound expressions are supported, echoing
'0' to the subsystem's filter file clears all filters in the subsystem,
etc.

This patch adds per-event filtering to the event tracing subsystem.
It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each event directory. This file can
be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the current
set of filters set for that event.
Basically, any field listed in the 'format' file for an event can be
filtered on (including strings, but not yet other array types) using
either matching ('==') or non-matching ('!=') 'predicates'. A
'predicate' can be either a single expression:
# echo pid != 0 > filter
# cat filter
pid != 0
or a compound expression of up to 8 sub-expressions combined using '&&'
or '||':
# echo comm == Xorg > filter
# echo "&& sig != 29" > filter
# cat filter
comm == Xorg
&& sig != 29
Only events having field values matching an expression will be available
in the trace output; non-matching events are discarded.
Note that a compound expression is built up by echoing each
sub-expression separately - it's not the most efficient way to do
things, but it keeps the parser simple and assumes that compound
expressions will be relatively uncommon. In any case, a subsequent
patch introducing a way to set filters for entire subsystems should
mitigate any need to do this for lots of events.
Setting a filter without an '&&' or '||' clears the previous filter
completely and sets the filter to the new expression:
# cat filter
comm == Xorg
&& sig != 29
# echo comm != Xorg
# cat filter
comm != Xorg
To clear a filter, echo 0 to the filter file:
# echo 0 > filter
# cat filter
none
The limit of 8 predicates for a compound expression is arbitrary - for
efficiency, it's implemented as an array of pointers to predicates, and
8 seemed more than enough for any filter...

This patch makes the field descriptions defined for event tracing
available at run-time, for the event-filtering mechanism introduced
in a subsequent patch.
The common event fields are prepended with 'common_' in the format
display, allowing them to be distinguished from the other fields
that might internally have same name and can therefore be
unambiguously used in filters.
