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>

2009-02-03trace: let boot trace be chosen by command lineSteven Rostedt
Now that we have a working ftrace=<tracer> function, make the boot tracer get activated by it. This way we can turn it on or off without recompiling the kernel, as well as keeping the selftests on. The selftests are disabled whenever a default tracer starts running. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel trace functions furtherRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API. Since the last patch was created and acked, more old cpumask users slipped into kernel/trace. Mostly trivial conversions, except struct trace_iterator's "started" member becomes a cpumask_var_t. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-12-29ftrace: set up trace event hash infrastructureSteven Rostedt
Impact: simplify/generalize/refactor trace.c The trace.c file is becoming more difficult to maintain due to the growing number of events. There is several formats that an event may be printed. This patch sets up the infrastructure of an event hash to allow for events to register how they should be printed.

2008-11-16tracing/ftrace: change the type of the init() callbackFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed. A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie: -ENOMEM) if it fails. If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the error from the init callback. Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

2008-11-12tracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entriesFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: Split the boot tracer entries in two parts: call and return Now that we are using the sched tracer from the boot tracer, we want to use the same timestamp than the ring-buffer to have consistent time captures between sched events and initcall events. So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the ring buffer timestamp of both. An example trace: [ 27.904149584] calling net_ns_init+0x0/0x1c0 @ 1 [ 27.904429624] initcall net_ns_init+0x0/0x1c0 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.904575926] calling reboot_init+0x0/0x20 @ 1 [ 27.904655399] initcall reboot_init+0x0/0x20 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.904800228] calling sysctl_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.905142914] initcall sysctl_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.905287211] calling ksysfs_init+0x0/0xb0 @ 1 ##### CPU 0 buffer started #### init-1 [000] 27.905395: 1:120:R + [001] 11:115:S ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 27.905425: 0:140:R ==> [001] 11:115:R init-1 [000] 27.905426: 1:120:D ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905431: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905451: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905456: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905458: 11:115:R + [001] 14:115:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905459: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905462: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905462: 11:115:R ==> [001] 14:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905467: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905470: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905473: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905476: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905479: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905482: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905486: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-14 [001] 27.905499: 14:120:X ==> [001] 11:115:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905506: 11:115:R + [000] 1:120:D <idle>-0 [000] 27.905515: 0:140:R ==> [000] 1:120:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905517: 11:115:S ==> [001] 0:140:R [ 27.905557107] initcall ksysfs_init+0x0/0xb0 returned 0 after 3906 msecs [ 27.905705736] calling init_jiffies_clocksource+0x0/0x10 @ 1 [ 27.905779239] initcall init_jiffies_clocksource+0x0/0x10 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.906769814] calling pm_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.906853627] initcall pm_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.906997803] calling pm_disk_init+0x0/0x20 @ 1 [ 27.907076946] initcall pm_disk_init+0x0/0x20 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907222556] calling swsusp_header_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.907294325] initcall swsusp_header_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907439620] calling stop_machine_init+0x0/0x50 @ 1 init-1 [000] 27.907485: 1:120:R + [000] 2:115:S init-1 [000] 27.907490: 1:120:D ==> [000] 2:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907507: 2:115:R + [001] 15:115:R <idle>-0 [001] 27.907517: 0:140:R ==> [001] 15:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907517: 2:115:D ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.907521: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.907524: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R udevd-15 [001] 27.907527: 15:115:D + [000] 2:115:D ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.907537: 4:115:S ==> [000] 2:115:R udevd-15 [001] 27.907537: 15:115:D ==> [001] 0:140:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907546: 2:115:R + [000] 1:120:D kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907550: 2:115:S ==> [000] 1:120:R init-1 [000] 27.907584: 1:120:R + [000] 15: 0:D init-1 [000] 27.907589: 1:120:R + [000] 2:115:S init-1 [000] 27.907593: 1:120:D ==> [000] 15: 0:R udevd-15 [000] 27.907601: 15: 0:S ==> [000] 2:115:R ##### CPU 0 buffer started #### kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907616: 2:115:R + [001] 16:115:R ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 27.907620: 0:140:R ==> [001] 16:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907621: 2:115:D ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-16 [001] 27.907625: 16:115:D + [000] 2:115:D <idle>-0 [000] 27.907628: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S udevd-16 [001] 27.907629: 16:115:D ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.907631: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.907636: 4:115:S ==> [000] 2:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907644: 2:115:R + [000] 1:120:D kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907647: 2:115:S ==> [000] 1:120:R init-1 [000] 27.907657: 1:120:R + [001] 16: 0:D <idle>-0 [001] 27.907666: 0:140:R ==> [001] 16: 0:R [ 27.907703862] initcall stop_machine_init+0x0/0x50 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907850704] calling filelock_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.907926573] initcall filelock_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.908071327] calling init_script_binfmt+0x0/0x10 @ 1 [ 27.908165195] initcall init_script_binfmt+0x0/0x10 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.908309461] calling init_elf_binfmt+0x0/0x10 @ 1 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-08ftrace: fix sched_switch APISteven Rostedt
Impact: fix for sched_switch that broke dynamic ftrace startup The commit: tracing/fastboot: use sched switch tracer from boot tracer broke the API of the sched_switch trace. The use of the tracing_start/stop_cmdline record is for only recording the cmdline, NOT recording the schedule switches themselves. Seeing that the boot tracer broke the API to do something that it wanted, this patch adds a new interface for the API while puting back the original interface of the old API.

2008-11-04tracing/fastboot: use sched switch tracer from boot tracerFrederic Weisbecker

2008-11-04tracing/fastboot: Enable boot tracing only during initcallsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: modify boot tracer We used to disable the initcall tracing at a specified time (IE: end of builtin initcalls). But we don't need it anymore. It will be stopped when initcalls are finished. However we want two things: _Start this tracing only after pre-smp initcalls are finished. _Since we are planning to trace sched_switches at the same time, we want to enable them only during the initcall execution. For this purpose, this patch introduce two functions to enable/disable the sched_switch tracing during boot.

2008-10-14tracing/fastboot: only trace non-module initcallsFrederic Weisbecker

2008-10-14tracing/fastboot: get the initcall name before it disappearsFrederic Weisbecker
After some initcall traces, some initcall names may be inconsistent. That's because these functions will disappear from the .init section and also their name from the symbols table. So we have to copy the name of the function in a buffer large enough during the trace appending. It is not costly for the ring_buffer because the number of initcall entries is commonly not really large.

2008-10-14tracing/fastboot: change the printing of boot tracer according to bootgraph.plFrederic Weisbecker
Change the boot tracer printing to make it parsable for the scripts/bootgraph.pl script.

2008-10-14ftrace: preempt disable over interrupt disableSteven Rostedt
With the new ring buffer infrastructure in ftrace, I'm trying to make ftrace a little more light weight. This patch converts a lot of the local_irq_save/restore into preempt_disable/enable. The original preempt count in a lot of cases has to be sent in as a parameter so that it can be recorded correctly. Some places were recording it incorrectly before anyway. This is also laying the ground work to make ftrace a little bit more reentrant, and remove all locking. The function tracers must still protect from reentrancy. Note: All the function tracers must be careful when using preempt_disable. It must do the following: resched = need_resched(); preempt_disable_notrace(); [...] if (resched) preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace(); else preempt_enable_notrace(); The reason is that if this function traces schedule() itself, the preempt_enable_notrace() will cause a schedule, which will lead us into a recursive failure. If we needed to reschedule before calling preempt_disable, we should have already scheduled. Since we did not, this is most likely that we should not and are probably inside a schedule function. If resched was not set, we still need to catch the need resched flag being set when preemption was off and the if case at the end will catch that for us.

2008-10-14ftrace: take advantage of variable length entriesSteven Rostedt
Now that the underlining ring buffer for ftrace now hold variable length entries, we can take advantage of this by only storing the size of the actual event into the buffer. This happens to increase the number of entries in the buffer dramatically. We can also get rid of the "trace_cont" operation, but I'm keeping that until we have no more users. Some of the ftrace tracers can now change their code to adapt to this new feature. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Add the boot/initcall tracer. It's primary purpose is to be able to trace the initcalls. It is intended to be used with scripts/bootgraph.pl after some small improvements. Note that it is not active after its init. To avoid tracing (and so crashing) before the whole tracing engine init, you have to explicitly call start_boot_trace() after do_pre_smp_initcalls() to enable it.
