2009-02-09tracing/function-graph-tracer: handle the leaf functions from trace_pipeFrederic Weisbecker
When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets: function(); whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following: function() { } This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files. On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can check the next entry. There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while we don't consume it. This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing core to not consume the current entry after printing it. We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check the next one. Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

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>

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.

But... /* Return values for print_line callback */ enum print_line_t { TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE = 0, /* Retry after flushing the seq */ TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED = 1, TRACE_TYPE_UNHANDLED = 2 /* Relay to other output functions */ }; In other cases the return value was not being relayed at all.

2009-02-03trace: better manage the context info for eventsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: make trace_event more convenient for tracers All tracers (for the moment) that use the struct trace_event want to have the context info printed before their own output: the pid/cmdline, cpu, and timestamp. But some other tracers that want to implement their trace_event callbacks will not necessary need these information or they may want to format them as they want. This patch adds a new default-enabled trace option: TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO When disabled through: echo nocontext-info > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options The pid, cpu and timestamps headers will not be printed. IE with the sched_switch tracer with context-info (default): bash-2935 [001] 100.356561: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> <idle>-0 [000] 100.412804: 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 <idle>-0 [000] 100.412816: 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 events/0-11 [000] 100.412829: 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> Without context-info: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> A tracer can disable it at runtime by clearing the bit TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO in trace_flags. The print routines were renamed to trace_print_context and trace_print_lat_context, so that they can be used by tracers if they want to use them for one of the trace_event callbacks.

Impact: trace max latencies on start of latency tracing This patch sets the max latency to zero whenever one of the irq variant tracers or the wakeup tracer is set to current tracer. Most developers expect to see output when starting up a latency tracer. But since the max_latency is already set to max, and it takes a latency greater than max_latency to be recorded, there is no trace. This is not the expected behavior and has even confused myself.

Since ftrace_dump is only called from kernel oops (and only when it is set in the kernel command line to do so), or when a developer adds it to their own local tree, the log level of the print should be at KERN_EMERG to make sure the print appears. ftrace_dump is not called by a normal user setup, and will not add extra unwanted print out to the console.

But it's more scalable to separate those two engines. This way, we can keep the stat files of one or several tracers when we want, without bothering of multiple tracer stat files or tracer switching. To build/destroys its stats files, a tracer just have to call register_stat_tracer/unregister_stat_tracer everytimes it wants to.

2008-12-29tracing/ftrace: provide the base infrastructure for histogram tracingFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: extend the tracing API The goal of this patch is to normalize and make more easy the implementation of statistical (histogram) tracing. It implements a trace_stat file into the /debugfs/tracing directory where one can print a one-shot output of statistics/histogram entries. A tracer has to provide two basic iterator callbacks: stat_start() => the first entry stat_next(prev, idx) => the next one. Note that it is adapted for arrays or hash tables or lists.... since it provides a pointer to the previous entry and the current index of the iterator. These two callbacks are called to get a snapshot of the statistics at each opening of the trace_stat file because. The values are so updated between two "cat trace_stat". And the tracer is free to lock its datas during the iteration to keep consistent values. Since it is almost always interesting to sort statisticals values to address the problems by priority, this infrastructure provides a "sorting" of the stat entries too if desired. A tracer has just to provide a stat_cmp callback to compare two entries and the stat tracing infrastructure will build a sorted list of the given entries. A last callback, called stat_headers, can be implemented by a tracer to output headers on its trace. If one of these callbacks is changed on runtime, it just have to signal it to the stat tracing API by calling the init_tracer_stat() helper. Changes in V2: - Fix a memory leak if the user opens multiple times the trace_stat file without closing it. Now we always free our list before rebuilding it.

2008-12-29ftrace: change trace.c to use registered eventsSteven Rostedt
Impact: rework trace.c to use new event register API Almost every ftrace event has to implement its output display in trace.c through a different function. Some events did not handle all the formats (trace, latency-trace, raw, hex, binary), and this method does not scale well. This patch converts the format functions to use the event API to find the event and and print its format. Currently, we have a print function for trace, latency_trace, raw, hex and binary. A trace_nop_print is available if the event wants to avoid output on a particular format. Perhaps other tracers could use this in the future (like mmiotrace and function_graph).

2008-12-29ftrace: remove obsolete print continue functionalitySteven Rostedt
Impact: cleanup, remove obsolete code Now that the ring buffer used by ftrace allows for variable length entries, we do not need the 'cont' feature of the buffer. This code makes other parts of ftrace more complex and by removing this it simplifies the ftrace code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-12-19ftrace: introduce tracing_reset_online_cpus() helperPekka J Enberg
Impact: cleanup This patch factors out common code from multiple tracers into a tracing_reset_online_cpus() function and converts the tracers to use it. Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
