2010-02-26ftrace: Add function names to dangling } in function graph tracerSteven Rostedt
The function graph tracer is currently the most invasive tracer in the ftrace family. It can easily overflow the buffer even with 10megs per CPU. This means that events can often be lost. On start up, or after events are lost, if the function return is recorded but the function enter was lost, all we get to see is the exiting '}'. Here is how a typical trace output starts: [tracing] cat trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 0) + 91.897 us | } 0) ! 567.961 us | } 0) <========== | 0) ! 579.083 us | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 4.694 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) ! 594.862 us | } 0) ! 603.361 us | } 0) ! 613.574 us | } 0) ! 623.554 us | } 0) 3.653 us | fget_light(); 0) | sock_poll() { There are a series of '}' with no matching "func() {". There's no information to what functions these ending brackets belong to. This patch adds a stack on the per cpu structure used in outputting the function graph tracer to keep track of what function was outputted. Then on a function exit event, it checks the depth to see if the function exit has a matching entry event. If it does, then it only prints the '}', otherwise it adds the function name after the '}'. This allows function exit events to show what function they belong to at trace output startup, when the entry was lost due to ring buffer overflow, or even after a new task is scheduled in. Here is what the above trace will look like after this patch: [tracing] cat trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 0) + 91.897 us | } (irq_exit) 0) ! 567.961 us | } (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) 0) <========== | 0) ! 579.083 us | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave(); 0) 4.694 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) ! 594.862 us | } (add_wait_queue) 0) ! 603.361 us | } (__pollwait) 0) ! 613.574 us | } (tcp_poll) 0) ! 623.554 us | } (sock_poll) 0) 3.653 us | fget_light(); 0) | sock_poll() { Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2010-02-25tracing: Fix ftrace_event_call alignment for use with gcc 4.5Jeff Mahoney
GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes. For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array. When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer. This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures to 4 bytes. Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with gcc 4.5. It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.

2010-01-29tracing: Simplify test for function_graph tracing start pointLai Jiangshan
In the function graph tracer, a calling function is to be traced only when it is enabled through the set_graph_function file, or when it is nested in an enabled function. Current code uses TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH to test whether it is nested or not. Looking at the code, we can get this: (trace->depth > 0) <==> (TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is set) trace->depth is more explicit to tell that it is nested. So we use trace->depth directly and simplify the code. No functionality is changed. TSK_TRACE_FL_GRAPH is not removed yet, it is left for future usage.

2010-01-26ring-buffer: Check for end of page in iteratorSteven Rostedt
If the iterator comes to an empty page for some reason, or if the page is emptied by a consuming read. The iterator code currently does not check if the iterator is pass the contents, and may return a false entry. This patch adds a check to the ring buffer iterator to test if the current page has been completely read and sets the iterator to the next page if necessary. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-01-26ring-buffer: Check if ring buffer iterator has stale dataSteven Rostedt
Usually reads of the ring buffer is performed by a single task. There are two types of reads from the ring buffer. One is a consuming read which will consume the entry that was read and the next read will be the entry that follows. The other is an iterator that will let the user read the contents of the ring buffer without modifying it. When an iterator is allocated, writes to the ring buffer are disabled to protect the iterator. The problem exists when consuming reads happen while an iterator is allocated. Specifically, the kind of read that swaps out an entire page (used by splice) and replaces it with a new read. If the iterator is on the page that is swapped out, then the next read may read from this swapped out page and return garbage. This patch adds a check when reading the iterator to make sure that the iterator contents are still valid. If a consuming read has taken place, the iterator is reset.

2010-01-25tracing: Prevent kernel oops with corrupted bufferSteven Rostedt
If the contents of the ftrace ring buffer gets corrupted and the trace file is read, it could create a kernel oops (usualy just killing the user task thread). This is caused by the checking of the pid in the buffer. If the pid is negative, it still references the cmdline cache array, which could point to an invalid address. The simple fix is to test for negative PIDs. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Drop function argument access syntax, because the function arguments depend on not only architecture but also compile-options and function API. And now, we have perf-probe for finding register/memory assigned to each argument.

2010-01-06ring-buffer: Add rb_list_head() wrapper around new reader page next fieldSteven Rostedt
If the very unlikely case happens where the writer moves the head by one between where the head page is read and where the new reader page is assigned _and_ the writer then writes and wraps the entire ring buffer so that the head page is back to what was originally read as the head page, the page to be swapped will have a corrupted next pointer. Simple solution is to wrap the assignment of the next pointer with a rb_list_head(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-01-06ring-buffer: Wrap a list.next reference with rb_list_head()David Sharp
This reference at the end of rb_get_reader_page() was causing off-by-one writes to the prev pointer of the page after the reader page when that page is the head page, and therefore the reader page has the RB_PAGE_HEAD flag in its list.next pointer. This eventually results in a GPF in a subsequent call to rb_set_head_page() (usually from rb_get_reader_page()) when that prev pointer is dereferenced. The dereferenced register would characteristically have an address that appears shifted left by one byte (eg, ffxxxxxxxxxxxxyy instead of ffffxxxxxxxxxxxx) due to being written at an address one byte too high.

2010-01-06tracing: Consolidate protection of reader access to the ring bufferLai Jiangshan
At the beginning, access to the ring buffer was fully serialized by trace_types_lock. Patch d7350c3f4569 gives more freedom to readers, and patch b04cc6b1f6 adds code to protect trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe. But actually it is not enough, ring buffer readers are not always read-only, they may consume data. This patch makes accesses to trace, trace_pipe, trace_pipe_raw cpu#/trace, cpu#/trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe_raw serialized. And removes tracing_reader_cpumask which is used to protect trace_pipe. Details: Ring buffer serializes readers, but it is low level protection. The validity of the events (which returns by ring_buffer_peek() ..etc) are not protected by ring buffer. The content of events may become garbage if we allow another process to consume these events concurrently: A) the page of the consumed events may become a normal page (not reader page) in ring buffer, and this page will be rewritten by the events producer. B) The page of the consumed events may become a page for splice_read, and this page will be returned to system. This patch adds trace_access_lock() and trace_access_unlock() primitives. These primitives allow multi process access to different cpu ring buffers concurrently. These primitives don't distinguish read-only and read-consume access. Multi read-only access is also serialized. And we don't use these primitives when we open files, we only use them when we read files.

The previous patches added the use of print_fmt string and changes the trace_define_field() function to also create the fields and format output for the event format files. text data bss dec hex filename 5857201 1355780 9336808 16549789 fc879d vmlinux 5884589 1351684 9337896 16574169 fce6d9 vmlinux-orig The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set. This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data. The total savings of 24k in size.

2010-01-06tracing: Use defined fields and print_fmt to print formatsLai Jiangshan
The calls ftrace_format_##call() and ftrace_define_fields_##call() are almost duplicate in functionality. With the addition of the print_fmt in previous patches, these two functions can be merged into one. The trace_define_field() defines the fields and links them into the struct ftrace_event_call. The previous patches introduced the print_fmt field and this can now be used with the trace_define_field() to create the event format file fields and print_fmt field. The struct ftrace_event_call->fields are used to print the fields The struct ftrace_event_call->print_fmt is used to print the "print fmt: XXXXXXXXXXX" line.

2010-01-06tracing: Have syscall tracing call its own init functionSteven Rostedt
In the clean up of having all events call one specific function, the syscall event init was changed to call this helper function. With the new print_fmt updates, the syscalls need to do special initializations. This patch converts the syscall events to call its own init function again.
