2009-10-09tracing: fix trace_vprintk callSteven Rostedt
The addition of trace_array_{v}printk used the wrong function for trace_vprintk to call. This broke trace_marker and trace_vprintk itself. Although trace_printk may not have been affected by those that end up calling trace_vbprintk. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-09-04tracing: report error in trace if we fail to swap latency bufferSteven Rostedt
The irqsoff tracer will fail to swap the cpu buffer with the max buffer if it preempts a commit. Instead of ignoring this, this patch makes the tracer report it if the last max latency failed due to preempting a current commit. The output of the latency tracer will look like this: # tracer: irqsoff # # irqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.31-rc5 # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 112 us, #1/1, CPU#1 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: -4281 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0) # ----------------- # => started at: save_args # => ended at: __do_softirq # # # _------=> CPU# # / _-----=> irqs-off # | / _----=> need-resched # || / _---=> hardirq/softirq # ||| / _--=> preempt-depth # |||| / # ||||| delay # cmd pid ||||| time | caller # \ / ||||| \ | / bash-4281 1d.s6 265us : update_max_tr_single: Failed to swap buffers due to commit in progress Note the latency time and the functions that disabled the irqs or preemption will still be listed.

2009-09-04tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracerSteven Rostedt
The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the wrong buffer. This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed in to the commit. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-04tracing: make tracing_reset safe for external useSteven Rostedt
Reseting the trace buffer without first disabling the buffer and waiting for any writers to complete, can corrupt the ring buffer. This patch makes the external version of tracing_reset safe from corruption by disabling the ring buffer and calling synchronize_sched. This version can no longer be called from interrupt context. But all those callers have been removed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-04tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency tracesSteven Rostedt
Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer. The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing after the bug is hit. Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous data, but the output will not count any data that is before the timestamp of the trace. Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

2009-09-04tracing: remove users of tracing_resetSteven Rostedt
The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c. The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus. The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables writes and waits for current writers to finish. This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the following patches. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-04tracing: disable buffers and synchronize_sched before resettingSteven Rostedt
Resetting the ring buffers while traces are happening can corrupt the ring buffer and disable it (no kernel crash to worry about). The safest thing to do is disable the ring buffers, call synchronize_sched() to wait for all current writers to finish and then reset the buffer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-09-04tracing: disable update max tracer while reading traceSteven Rostedt

2009-09-04tracing: print out start and stop in latency tracesSteven Rostedt
During development of the tracer, we would copy information from the live tracer to the max tracer with one memcpy. Since then we added a generic ring buffer and we handle the copies differently now. Unfortunately, we never copied the critical section information, and we lost the output: # => started at: kmem_cache_alloc # => ended at: kmem_cache_alloc This patch adds back the critical start and end copying as well as removes the unused "trace_idx" and "overrun" fields of the trace_array_cpu structure.

2009-08-27tracing: only show tracing_max_latency when latency tracer configuredSteven Rostedt

2009-08-09perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records samplingFrederic Weisbecker
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 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

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! :-) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Gabriel Munteanu <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-07-07ring-buffer: make locklessSteven Rostedt
This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

And, three directory names(ex:/debug/, /debugfs/, /sys/kernel/debug/) is existed in kernel source like ftrace, DRM, Wireless, Documentation, Network[sky2]files to mount debugfs filesystem. debugfs means debug filesystem for debugging easy to use by greg kroah hartman. "/sys/kernel/debug/" name is suitable as directory name of debugfs filesystem. - debugfs related reference: http://lwn.net/Articles/334546/ Fix inconsistency of directory name to mount debugfs filesystem. * From Steven Rostedt - find_debugfs() and tracing_files() in this patch.

2009-06-15tracing: fix a typo in tracing_cpumask_write()Li Zefan
It's tracing_cpumask_new that should be kfree()ed. This causes tracing_cpumask to be freed due to the typo: # echo z > tracing_cpumask bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument And subsequent reads/writes to tracing_cpuamsk will access this already-freed tracing_cpumask, thus may lead to crash.

2009-06-01tracing: make trace pipe recognize latency format flagSteven Rostedt
The trace_pipe did not recognize the latency format flag and would produce different output than the trace file. The problem was partly due that the trace flags in the iterator was not set as well as the trace_pipe zeros out part of the iterator (including the flags) to be able to use the same routines as the trace file. trace_flags of the iterator should not cause any problems when not zeroed out by for trace_pipe.
