2009-08-17tracing/syscalls: Fix to print parameter typesLi Zefan
When syscall tracing was implemented as a tracer, "syscall_arg_type" trace option could be set to enable the display of syscall parameter types. Now this option is gone since it's no longer a tracer, but the code is still there but dead. So we remove dead code and re-enable the printing of paramete types via the verbose option: # echo verbose > trace_options # echo syscalls > set_event # cat trace ... bash-3331 [000] 95.348937: sys_fcntl64 -> 0x1 bash-3331 [000] 95.348942: sys_close(unsigned int fd: a) ...

2009-08-11tracing: Support for syscall events raw records in perfcountersFrederic Weisbecker
This bring the support for raw syscall events in perfcounters. The arguments or exit value are saved as a raw sample using the PERF_SAMPLE_RAW attribute in a perf counter. Example (for now you must explicitly set the PERF_SAMPLE_RAW flag in perf record): perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -f -F 1 -a perf report -D 0x2cbb8 [0x50]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 80 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 02 00 50 00 20 e9 39 ab 0a 7f 00 00 ......P. .9.... . 0010: bc 14 00 00 bc 14 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ............... . 0020: 2c 00 00 00 15 01 01 00 bc 14 00 00 bc 14 00 00 ,.............. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ..........................

2009-08-11tracing: Add fields format definition for syscall eventsFrederic Weisbecker
Define the format of the syscall trace fields to parse the binary values from a raw trace using the syscall events "format" file. This is defined dynamically using the syscalls metadata. It prepares the export of syscall event raw records to perf counters. Example: $ cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_sched_getparam/format name: sys_enter_sched_getparam ID: 39 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; field:int common_tgid; offset:8; size:4; field:pid_t pid; offset:12; size:8; field:struct sched_param * param; offset:20; size:8; print fmt: "pid: 0x%08lx, param: 0x%08lx", ((unsigned long)(REC->pid)), ((unsigned long)(REC->param)) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Cc: Jiaying Zhang <jiayingz@google.com> Cc: Martin Bligh <mbligh@google.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com>
2009-08-11tracing: Add perf counter support for syscalls tracingJason Baron
The perf counter support is automated for usual trace events. But we have to define specific callbacks for this to handle syscalls trace events Make 'perf stat -e syscalls:sys_enter_blah' work with syscall style tracepoints.

2009-08-11tracing: Add individual syscalls tracepoint id supportJason Baron
The current state of syscalls tracepoints generates only one event id for every syscall events. This patch associates an id with each syscall trace event, so that we can identify each syscall trace event using the 'perf' tool.

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.

2009-03-16tracing/syscalls: protect thread flag toggling from racesFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix syscall tracer enable/disable race The current thread flag toggling is racy as shown in the following scenario: - task A is the last user of syscall tracing, it releases the TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks - at the same time task B start syscall tracing. refcount == 0 so it sets up TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks. The effect of the mixup is unpredictable. So this fix adds a mutex on {start,stop}_syscall_tracing().

2009-03-16tracing/syscalls: fix missing release of tracingFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix 'stuck' syscall tracer The syscall tracer uses a refcounter to enable several users simultaneously. But the refcounter did not behave correctly and always restored its value to 0 after calling start_syscall_tracing(). Therefore, stop_syscall_tracing() couldn't release correctly the tasks from tracing. Also the tracer forgot to reset the buffer when it is released. Drop the pointless refcount decrement on start_syscall_tracing() and reset the buffer when we release the tracer. This fixes two reported issue: - when we switch from syscall tracer to another tracer, syscall tracing continued. - incorrect use of the refcount.

2009-03-13tracing/syscalls: core infrastructure for syscalls tracing, enhancementsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: new feature This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing engines can use it. (They just have to play with {start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks unless they want to override them.) The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal some metadata informations: - syscall name, param types, param names, number of params The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition because we don't know if its prototype is available in the namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its metadata struct. The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.
