2008-05-23ftrace: do not profile lib/string.oSteven Rostedt
Most archs define the string and memory compare functions in assembly. Some do not. But these functions may be used in some archs at early boot up. Since most archs define this code in assembly and they are not usually traced, there's no need to trace them when they are not defined in assembly. This patch removes the -pg from the CFLAGS for lib/string.o. This prevents the string functions use in either vdso or early bootup from crashing the system.

2008-05-23ftrace: remove address of function namesSteven Rostedt
PowerPC is very fragile when it comes to use of function names and function addresses. ftrace needs to either use all function addresses or function names (i.e. my_func as suppose to &my_func). This patch chooses to use the names and not the addresses, and makes ftrace consistent.

2008-05-23ftrace: add trace_function api for other tracers to useSteven Rostedt
A new check was added in the ftrace function that wont trace if the CPU trace buffer is disabled. Unfortunately, other tracers used ftrace() to write to the buffer after they disabled it. The new disable check makes these calls into a nop. This patch changes the __ftrace that is called without the check into a new api for the other tracers to use, called "trace_function". The other tracers use this interface instead when the trace CPU buffer is already disabled.

2008-05-23ftrace: disable tracing on failureSteven Rostedt
Since ftrace touches practically every function. If we detect any anomaly, we want to fully disable ftrace. This patch adds code to try shutdown ftrace as much as possible without doing any more harm is something is detected not quite correct. This only kills ftrace, this patch does have checks for other parts of the tracer (irqsoff, wakeup, etc.).

2008-05-23ftrace - fix dynamic ftrace memory leakSteven Rostedt
The ftrace dynamic function update allocates a record to store the instruction pointers that are being modified. If the modified instruction pointer fails to update, then the record is marked as failed and nothing more is done. Worse, if the modification fails, but the record ip function is still called, it will allocate a new record and try again. In just a matter of time, will this cause a serious memory leak and crash the system. This patch plugs this memory leak. When a record fails, it is included back into the pool of records to be used. Now a record may fail over and over again, but the number of allocated records will not increase.

2008-05-23ftrace: user run time file readingSteven Rostedt
This patch creates a file called trace_pipe in the tracing debug directory. This file is a consumer of the trace buffers. This means that reads of this file consumes the entries from the trace buffers so that they will not be read a second time, as contrast to the static buffers latency_trace and trace. Reading from the trace_pipe will remove the entries from trace and latency_trace too. The advantage that trace_pipe has is that it can record live traces. It will block when there is nothing in the buffer, and read the entries as they are entered. An EOF happens when tracing is disabled (tracing_enabled = 0).

2008-05-23ftrace: add a buffer for outputSteven Rostedt

2008-05-23ftrace: change buffers to producer consumerSteven Rostedt
This patch changes the way the CPU trace buffers are handled. Instead of always starting from the trace page head, the logic is changed to a producer consumer logic.

2008-05-23ftrace: irqs off smp_processor_id() fixSteven Rostedt
The irqsoff function tracer did a __get_cpu_var to determine if it should trace the function or not. The problem is that __get_cpu_var can preempt between getting the CPU and reading the cpu variable. This means that the cpu variable that is being read is not from the cpu being run on. At worst, this can give a false positive, where we trace the function when we should not. It will never give a false negative since we only want to trace when interrupts are disabled and we never preempt when they are. This fix adds a check after reading the irq flags to only trace if the interrupts are actually disabled. It also changes the reading of the cpu variable to use a raw_smp_processor_id since we now don't care if we preempt. We still catch that fact.

2008-05-23ftrace: debug smp_processor_id, use notrace preempt disableSteven Rostedt
The debug smp_processor_id caused a recursive fault in debugging the irqsoff tracer. The tracer used a smp_processor_id in the ftrace callback, and this function called preempt_disable which also is traced. This caused a recursive fault (stack overload). Since using smp_processor_id without debugging on does not cause faults with the tracer (even when the tracer is wrong), the debug version should not cause a system reboot. This changes the debug_smp_processor_id to use the notrace versions of preempt_disable and enable.

2008-05-23ftrace: add filter select functions to traceSteven Rostedt
This patch adds two files to the debugfs system: /debugfs/tracing/available_filter_functions and /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The available_filter_functions lists all functions that has been recorded by the ftraced that has called the ftrace_record_ip function. This is to allow users to see what functions have been converted to nops and can be enabled for tracing. To enable functions, simply echo the names (whitespace delimited) into set_ftrace_filter. Simple wildcards are also allowed. echo 'scheduler' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only the scheduler be activated when tracing is enabled. echo 'sched_*' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only the functions starting with 'sched_' be activated. echo '*lock' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only functions ending with 'lock' be activated. echo '*lock*' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Will have only functions with 'lock' in its name be activated. Note: 'sched*lock' will not work. The only wildcards that are allowed is an asterisk and the beginning and or end of the string passed in. Multiple names can be passed in with whitespace delimited: echo 'scheduler *lock *acpi*' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter is also the same as: echo 'scheduler' > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo '*lock' >> /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter echo '*acpi*' >> /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Appending does just that. It appends to the list. To disable all filters simply echo an empty line in: echo > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-05-23ftrace: use dynamic patching for updating mcount callsSteven Rostedt
This patch replaces the indirect call to the mcount function pointer with a direct call that will be patched by the dynamic ftrace routines. On boot up, the mcount function calls the ftace_stub function. When the dynamic ftrace code is initialized, the ftrace_stub is replaced with a call to the ftrace_record_ip, which records the instruction pointers of the locations that call it. Later, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine and patch all the locations to nops. When a ftrace is enabled, the original calls to mcount will now be set top call ftrace_caller, which will do a direct call to the registered ftrace function. This direct call is also patched when the function that should be called is updated. All patching is performed by a kstop_machine routine to prevent any type of race conditions that is associated with modifying code on the fly.

2008-05-23ftrace: add ftrace_enabled sysctl to disable mcount functionSteven Rostedt
This patch adds back the sysctl ftrace_enabled. This time it is defaulted to on, if DYNAMIC_FTRACE is configured. When ftrace_enabled is disabled, the ftrace function is set to the stub return. If DYNAMIC_FTRACE is also configured, on ftrace_enabled = 0, the registered ftrace functions will all be set to jmps, but no more new calls to ftrace recording (used to find the ftrace calling sites) will be called.
