* This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros. These are patterned after the
node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.
In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used. The cpumask_of_cpu_map
is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
cpumask_of_cpu(). The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
needed to pass the cpumask_t value.
If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable. Afterwards,
the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value. The compiler
will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.
A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:
case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
{
unsigned int cpu = m->pool_to[pidx];
cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);
*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
return 1;
}
case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
{
unsigned int node = m->pool_to[pidx];
node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);
*oldmask = current->cpus_allowed;
set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
return 1;
}

Currently the function tracer uses the global tracer_enabled variable that
is used to keep track if the tracer is enabled or not. The function tracing
startup needs to be separated out, otherwise the internal happenings of
the tracer startup is also recorded.
This patch creates a ftrace_function_enabled variable to all the starting
of the function traces to happen after everything has been started.

It has been suggested that I add a way to disable the function tracer
on an oops. This code adds a ftrace_kill_atomic. It is not meant to be
used in normal situations. It will disable the ftrace tracer, but will
not perform the nice shutdown that requires scheduling.

This is more of a clean up. Currently the function tracer initializes the
tracer with which ever CPU was last used for tracing. This value isn't
realy useful for function tracing, but at least it should be something other
than a random number.

We have two markers now that are enabled on sched_switch. One that records
the context switching and the other that records task wake ups. Currently
we enable the tracing first and then set the markers. This causes some
confusing traces:
# tracer: sched_switch
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
trace-cmd-3973 [00] 115.834817: 3973:120:R + 3: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [01] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 6: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [03] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 12: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S
<idle>-0 [02] 115.834910: 0:140:R ==> 3973:120:R
Here we see that trace-cmd with PID 3973 wakes up task 9 but the next line
shows the idle task doing a context switch to task 3973.
Enabling the tracing to _after_ the markers are set creates a much saner
output:
# tracer: sched_switch
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
<idle>-0 [02] 7922.634225: 0:140:R ==> 4790:120:R

Avoid modifying the mcount call-site if there is a kprobe installed on it.
These records are not marked as failed however. This allowed the filter
rules on them to remain up-to-date. Whenever the kprobe on the corresponding

Let records identified as being kprobe'd be marked as "frozen". The trouble
with records which have a kprobe installed on their mcount call-site is
that they don't get updated. So if such a function which is currently being
traced gets its tracing disabled due to a new filter rule (or because it
was added to the notrace list) then it won't be updated and continue being
traced. This patch allows scanning of all frozen records during tracing to
check if they should be traced.

Record the address of the mcount call-site. Currently all archs except sparc64
record the address of the instruction following the mcount call-site. Some
general cleanups are entailed. Storing mcount addresses in rec->ip enables
looking them up in the kprobe hash table later on to check if they're kprobe'd.

This is a fix to give notrace filter rules priority over "set_ftrace_filter"
rules.
This fix ensures that functions which are set to be filtered and are
concurrently marked as "notrace" don't get recorded. As of now, if
a record is marked as FTRACE_FL_FILTER and is enabled, then the notrace
flag is not checked. Tested on x86-32.

Identify functions which had their mcount call-site updates failed. This can
help us track functions which ftrace shouldn't fiddle with, and are thus not
being traced. If there is no race with any external agent which is modifying

Prevent freeing of records which cause problems and correspond to function from
core kernel text. A new flag, FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED is used to mark a record
as "converted". All other records are patched lazily to NOPs. Failed records
now also remain on frace_hash table. Each invocation of ftrace_record_ip now
checks whether the traced function has ever been recorded (including past
failures) and doesn't re-record it again.

In dynamic ftrace, the mcount function starts off pointing to a stub
function that just returns.
On start up, the call to the stub is modified to point to a "record_ip"
function. The job of the record_ip function is to add the function to
a pre-allocated hash list. If the function is already there, it simply is
ignored, otherwise it is added to the list.
Later, a ftraced daemon wakes up and calls kstop_machine if any functions
have been recorded, and changes the calls to the recorded functions to
a simple nop. If no functions were recorded, the daemon goes back to sleep.
The daemon wakes up once a second to see if it needs to update any newly
recorded functions into nops. Usually it does not, but if a lot of code
has been executed for the first time in the kernel, the ftraced daemon
will call kstop_machine to update those into nops.
The problem currently is that there's no way to stop the daemon from doing
this, and it can cause unneeded latencies (800us which for some is bothersome).
This patch adds a new file /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled. If the daemon
is active, reading this will return "enabled\n" and "disabled\n" when the
daemon is not running. To disable the daemon, the user can echo "0" or
"disable" into this file, and "1" or "enable" to re-enable the daemon.
Since the daemon is used to convert the functions into nops to increase
the performance of the system, I also added that anytime something is
written into the ftraced_enabled file, kstop_machine will run if there
are new functions that have been detected that need to be converted.
This way the user can disable the daemon but still be able to control the
conversion of the mcount calls to nops by simply,
"echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled"
when they need to do more conversions.
To see the number of converted functions:
"cat /debugfs/tracing/dyn_ftrace_total_info"

Tracing functions via ftrace which have a kretprobe installed on them, can produce misleading output in their trace logs. E.g, consider the correct trace of the following sequence:
do_IRQ()
{
~
irq_enter();
~
}
Trace log (sample):
<idle>-0 [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- do_IRQ
But if irq_enter() has a kretprobe installed on it, the return value stored on the stack at each invocation is modified to divert the return to a kprobe trampoline function called kretprobe_trampoline(). So with this the trace would (currently) look like:
<idle>-0 [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- kretprobe_trampoline
Now this is quite misleading to the end user, as it suggests something that didn't actually happen. So just to avoid such misinterpretations, the inlined patch aims to output such a log as:
<idle>-0 [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- [unknown/kretprobe'd]

Hi Ingo/Steven,
Ftrace currently maintains an update count which includes false updates,
i.e, updates which failed. If anything, such failures should be tracked
by some separate variable, but this patch provides a minimal fix.

Hi Steven,
I noticed that concurrent instances of ftrace_record_ip()
have a race between ftrace_hash list traversal during
ftrace_ip_in_hash() (before acquiring ftrace_shutdown_lock)
and ftrace_add_hash(). If it's so then this should fix it.

While debugging latencies in the RT kernel, I found that it would be nice
to be able to filter away functions from the trace than just to filter
on functions.
I added a new interface to the debugfs tracing directory called
set_ftrace_notrace
When dynamic frace is enabled, this lets you filter away functions that will
not be recorded in the trace. It is similar to adding 'notrace' to those
functions but by doing it without recompiling the kernel.
Here's how set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace interact. Remember, if
set_ftrace_filter is set, it removes all functions from the trace execpt for
those listed in the set_ftrace_filter. set_ftrace_notrace will prevent those
functions from being traced.
If you were to set one function in both set_ftrace_filter and
set_ftrace_notrace and that function was the same, then you would end up
with an empty trace.
the set of functions to trace is:
set_ftrace_filter == empty then
all functions not in set_ftrace_notrace
else
set of the set_ftrace_filter and not in set of set_ftrace_notrace.

Printing out new max latencies was fine for the old RT tracer. But for
mainline it is a bit messy. We also need to test if the run queue
is locked before we can do the print. This means that we may not be
printing out latencies if the run queue is locked on another CPU.
This produces inconsistencies in the output.
This patch simply removes the print altogether.

The check_pages function is called often enough that it can cause problems
with trace outputs or even bringing the system to a halt.
This patch limits the check_pages to the places that are most likely to
have problems. The check is made at the flip between the global array and
the max save array, as well as when the size of the buffers changes and
the self tests.
This patch also removes the BUG_ON from check_pages and replaces it with
a WARN_ON and disabling of the tracer.

another weekend, another patch. This should apply on top of my previous patch
from March 23rd.
Summary of changes:
- Print PCI device list in output header
- work around recursive probe hits on SMP
- refactor dis/arm_kmmio_fault_page() and add check for page levels
- remove un/reference_kmmio(), the die notifier hook is registered
permanently into the list
- explicitly check for single stepping in die notifier callback
I have tested this version on my UP Athlon64 desktop with Nouveau, and
SMP Core 2 Duo laptop with the proprietary nvidia driver. Both systems
are 64-bit. One previously unknown bug crept into daylight: the ftrace
framework's output routines print the first entry last after buffer has
wrapped around.
The most important regressions compared to non-ftrace mmiotrace at this
time are:
- failure of trace_pipe file
- illegal lines in output file
- unaware of losing data due to buffer full
Personally I'd like to see these three solved before submitting to
mainline. Other issues may come up once we know when we lose events.

here is a patch that makes mmiotrace work almost well within the tracing
framework. The patch applies on top of my previous patch. I have my own
output formatting in place now.
Summary of changes:
- fix the NULL dereference that was due to not calling tracing_reset()
- add print_line() callback into struct tracer
- implement print_line() for mmiotrace, producing up-to-spec text
- add my output header, but that is not really called in the right place
- rewrote the main structs in mmiotrace
- added two new trace entry types: TRACE_MMIO_RW and TRACE_MMIO_MAP
- made some functions in trace.c non-static
- check current==NULL in tracing_generic_entry_update()
- fix(?) comparison in trace_seq_printf()
Things seem to work fine except a few issues. Markers (text lines injected
into mmiotrace log) are missing, I did not feel hacking them in before we
have variable length entries. My output header is printed only for 'trace'
file, but not 'trace_pipe'. For some reason, despite my quick fix,
iter->trace is NULL in print_trace_line() when called from 'trace_pipe'
file, which means I don't get proper output formatting.
I only tried by loading nouveau.ko, which just detects the card, and that
is traced fine. I didn't try further. Map, two reads and unmap. Works
perfectly.
I am missing the information about overflows, I'd prefer to have a
counter for lost events. I didn't try, but I guess currently there is no
way of knowning when it overflows?
So, not too far from being fully operational, it seems :-)
And looking at the diffstat, there also is some 700-900 lines of user space
code that just became obsolete.

add kernel backtracing to the sysprof tracer.
change the format of the data, so that type=0 means
beginning of stack trace, 1 means kernel address, 2 means user
address, and 3 means end of trace.
EIP addresses are no longer distinguished from return addresses,
mostly because sysprof userspace doesn't make use of it. It may be
worthwhile adding this back in though, just in case it becomes
interesting.
