2009-10-29percpu: make percpu symbols in tracer uniqueTejun Heo
This patch updates percpu related symbols in kernel tracer such that percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols. This serves two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu symbol collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu symbols. * kernel/trace/trace.c: s/max_data/max_tr_data/ * kernel/trace/trace_hw_branches: s/tracer/hwb_tracer/, s/buffer/hwb_buffer/ Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars which cause name clashes" patch.

2009-04-14tracing/filters: use ring_buffer_discard_commit() in filter_check_discard()Tom Zanussi
This patch changes filter_check_discard() to make use of the new ring_buffer_discard_commit() function and modifies the current users to call the old commit function in the non-discard case. It also introduces a version of filter_check_discard() that uses the global trace buffer (filter_current_check_discard()) for those cases. v2 changes: - fix compile error noticed by Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <1239178554.10295.36.camel@tropicana> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
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. Changes from v1: As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker: - get rid of externs in functions - added unlikely() to filter_check_discard() Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-04-07x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interfaceMarkus Metzger
The hw-branch-tracer uses debug store functions from an on_each_cpu() context, which is simply wrong since the functions may sleep. Add _noirq variants for most functions, which may be called with interrupts disabled. Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be controlled from any cpu. Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the unnecessary spinlock. Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface. Defer the ds selftest.

Impact: fix CPU hotplug lockup bts_hotcpu_handler() is called with irqs disabled, so using mutex_lock() is a no-no.

2009-02-15tracing: fix section mismatch in trace_hw_branches.cRakib Mullick
The function bts_trace_init() references a variable bts_hotcpu_notifier which is marked as __cpuinitdata. Thus causes section mismatch. This patch fixes it.

This is often because bts_trace_init lacks a __cpuinitdata annotation or the annotation of bts_hotcpu_notifier is wrong.

2009-02-07trace: remove deprecated entry->cpuSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is implicit with which CPU buffer it is on. The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu). Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed. This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu, unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to retrieve the cpu identifier. This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes all the users that should have been using iter->cpu. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-02-06tracing: Introduce trace_buffer_{lock_reserve,unlock_commit}Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Impact: new API These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about. It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and other trace options we may introduce in the future. With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options facility. $ codiff /tmp/vmlinux.before /tmp/vmlinux.after linux-2.6-tip/kernel/trace/trace.c: trace_vprintk | -5 trace_graph_return | -22 trace_graph_entry | -26 trace_function | -45 __ftrace_trace_stack | -27 ftrace_trace_userstack | -29 tracing_sched_switch_trace | -66 tracing_stop | +1 trace_seq_to_user | -1 ftrace_trace_special | -63 ftrace_special | +1 tracing_sched_wakeup_trace | -70 tracing_reset_online_cpus | -1 13 functions changed, 2 bytes added, 355 bytes removed, diff: -353 linux-2.6-tip/block/blktrace.c: __blk_add_trace | -58 1 function changed, 58 bytes removed, diff: -58 linux-2.6-tip/kernel/trace/trace.c: trace_buffer_lock_reserve | +88 trace_buffer_unlock_commit | +86 2 functions changed, 174 bytes added, diff: +174 /tmp/vmlinux.after: 16 functions changed, 176 bytes added, 413 bytes removed, diff: -237 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
