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>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel trace functionsRusty Russell
Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API. (Eventually, cpumask_var_t will be allocated based on nr_cpu_ids, not NR_CPUS). Convert kernel trace functions to use struct cpumask API: 1) Use cpumask_copy/cpumask_test_cpu/for_each_cpu. 2) Use cpumask_var_t and alloc_cpumask_var/free_cpumask_var everywhere. 3) Use on_each_cpu instead of playing with current->cpus_allowed.

2008-12-23ring-buffer: prevent false positive warningSteven Rostedt
Impact: eliminate false WARN_ON message If an interrupt goes off after the setting of the local variable tail_page and before incrementing the write index of that page, the interrupt could push the commit forward to the next page. Later a check is made to see if interrupts pushed the buffer around the entire ring buffer by comparing the next page to the last commited page. This can produce a false positive if the interrupt had pushed the commit page forward as stated above. Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.

2008-12-23ring-buffer: fix dangling commit raceSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix stuck trace-buffers If an interrupt comes in during the rb_set_commit_to_write and pushes the tail page forward just at the right time, the commit updates will miss the adding of the interrupt data.

2008-12-18trace: fix task state printoutThomas Gleixner
Impact: fix occasionally incorrect trace output The tracing code has interesting varieties of printing out task state. Unfortunalely only one of the instances is correct as it copies the code from sched.c:sched_show_task(). The others are plain wrong as they treatthe bitfield as an integer offset into the character array. Also the size check of the character array is wrong as it includes the trailing \0. Use a common state decoder inline which does the Right Thing.

2008-12-18ftrace: add not to regex on filtering functionsSteven Rostedt
Impact: enhancement Ingo Molnar has asked about a way to remove items from the filter lists. Currently, you can only add or replace items. The way items are added to the list is through opening one of the list files (set_ftrace_filter or set_ftrace_notrace) via append. If the file is opened for truncate, the list is cleared. echo spin_lock > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The above will replace the list with only spin_lock echo spin_lock >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The above will add spin_lock to the list. Now this patch adds: echo '!spin_lock' >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter This will remove spin_lock from the list. The limited glob features of these lists also can be notted. echo '!spin_*' >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter This will remove all functions that start with 'spin_' Note: echo '!spin_*' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter will simply clear out the list (notice the '>' instead of '>>') Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-18trace: better use of stack_trace_enabled for boot up codeSteven Rostedt

2008-12-18trace: add a way to enable or disable the stack tracerSteven Rostedt
Impact: enhancement to stack tracer The stack tracer currently is either on when configured in or off when it is not. It can not be disabled when it is configured on. (besides disabling the function tracer that it uses) This patch adds a way to enable or disable the stack tracer at run time. It defaults off on bootup, but a kernel parameter 'stacktrace' has been added to enable it on bootup. A new sysctl has been added "kernel.stack_tracer_enabled" to let the user enable or disable the stack tracer at run time.

2008-12-17tracing/ftrace: add the printk-msg-only optionFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: display ftrace_printk messages "as is" By default, ftrace_printk() messages find their output with some other informations like pid, caller, ... Sometimes a developer just want to have the ftrace_printk left "as is", without other information. This is done by providing a default-off option called printk-msg-only. To enable it, just do `echo printk-msg-only > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options` Before the patch: <...>-2739 [000] 145.692153: __might_sleep: I'm an ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep <...>-2739 [000] 145.692155: __might_sleep: I'm another ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep After the patch and the printk-msg-only option enabled: I'm an ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep I'm another ftrace_printk msg in __might_sleep Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected.

2008-12-08tracing/function-graph-tracer: append the tracing_graph_flagFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: Provide a way to pause the function graph tracer As suggested by Steven Rostedt, the previous patch that prevented from spinlock function tracing shouldn't use the raw_spinlock to fix it. It's much better to follow lockdep with normal spinlock, so this patch adds a new flag for each task to make the function graph tracer able to be paused. We also can send an ftrace_printk whithout worrying of the irrelevant traced spinlock during insertion.

Impact: clean up Using (struct pid *)-1 as the pointer for ftrace_swapper_pid is a little confusing for others. This patch uses the address of the actual init pid structure instead. This change is only for clarity. It does not affect the code itself. Hopefully soon the swapper tasks will all have their own pid structure and then we can clean up the code a bit more.

2008-12-05tracing/ftrace: fix the check of ftrace_trace_taskFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix default empty traces on function-graph-tracer The actual ftrace_trace_task() checks if ftrace_pid_trace is allocated and return 1 if it is true. If it is NULL, it will check the bit of pid tracing flag for the current task (which are not set by default). So by default, a task is not traced. Actually all tasks should be traced by default and filter_by_pid when ftrace_pid_trace is allocated. The appropriate condition should be to return 1 if filter_by_pid is set.

When a selftest occurs, the ring buffer is lurked to see if some entries were inserted.

2008-12-04ftrace: use task struct trace flag to filter on pidSteven Rostedt

2008-12-04ftrace: graph of a single functionSteven Rostedt
This patch adds the file: /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function which can be used along with the function graph tracer. When this file is empty, the function graph tracer will act as usual. When the file has a function in it, the function graph tracer will only trace that function. For example: # echo blk_unplug > /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debugfs/tracing/trace [...] ------------------------------------------ | 2) make-19003 => kjournald-2219 ------------------------------------------ 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) | dm_unplug_all() { 2) | dm_get_table() { 2) 1.381 us | _read_lock(); 2) 0.911 us | dm_table_get(); 2) 1. 76 us | _read_unlock(); 2) + 12.912 us | } 2) | dm_table_unplug_all() { 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) 0.778 us | generic_unplug_device(); 2) 2.409 us | } 2) 5.992 us | } 2) 0.813 us | dm_table_put(); 2) + 29. 90 us | } 2) + 34.532 us | } You can add up to 32 functions into this file. Currently we limit it to 32, but this may change with later improvements. To add another function, use the append '>>': # echo sys_read >> /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function blk_unplug sys_read Using the '>' will clear out the function and write anew: # echo sys_write > /debug/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debug/tracing/set_graph_function sys_write Note, if you have function graph running while doing this, the small time between clearing it and updating it will cause the graph to record all functions. This should not be an issue because after it sets the filter, only those functions will be recorded from then on. If you need to only record a particular function then set this file first before starting the function graph tracer. In the future this side effect may be corrected. The set_graph_function file is similar to the set_ftrace_filter but it does not take wild cards nor does it allow for more than one function to be set with a single write. There is no technical reason why this is the case, I just do not have the time yet to implement that. Note, dynamic ftrace must be enabled for this to appear because it uses the dynamic ftrace records to match the name to the mcount call sites.
