2008-12-20x86, bts: add fork and exit handlingMarkus Metzger
Impact: introduce new ptrace facility Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies); ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach. Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a traced task is forked. Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork. Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do that when the traced task dies.

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.

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.

2008-12-15cgroups: fix a race between rmdir and remountPaul Menage
When a cgroup is removed, it's unlinked from its parent's children list, but not actually freed until the last dentry on it is released (at which point cgrp->root->number_of_cgroups is decremented). Currently rebind_subsystems checks for the top cgroup's child list being empty in order to rebind subsystems into or out of a hierarchy - this can result in the set of subsystems bound to a hierarchy being removed-but-not-freed cgroup. The simplest fix for this is to forbid remounts that change the set of subsystems on a hierarchy that has removed-but-not-freed cgroups. This bug can be reproduced via: mkdir /mnt/cg mount -t cgroup -o ns,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg mkdir /mnt/cg/foo sleep 1h < /mnt/cg/foo & rmdir /mnt/cg/foo mount -t cgroup -o remount,ns,devices,freezer cgroup /mnt/cg kill $! Though the above will cause oops in -mm only but not mainline, but the bug can cause memory leak in mainline (and even oops) Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage@google.com> Reviewed-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-12-10fix mapping_writably_mapped()Hugh Dickins
Lee Schermerhorn noticed yesterday that I broke the mapping_writably_mapped test in 2.6.7! Bad bad bug, good good find. The i_mmap_writable count must be incremented for VM_SHARED (just as i_writecount is for VM_DENYWRITE, but while holding the i_mmap_lock) when dup_mmap() copies the vma for fork: it has its own more optimal version of __vma_link_file(), and I missed this out. So the count was later going down to 0 (dangerous) when one end unmapped, then wrapping negative (inefficient) when the other end unmapped. The only impact on x86 would have been that setting a mandatory lock on a file which has at some time been opened O_RDWR and mapped MAP_SHARED (but not necessarily PROT_WRITE) across a fork, might fail with -EAGAIN when it should succeed, or succeed when it should fail. But those architectures which rely on flush_dcache_page() to flush userspace modifications back into the page before the kernel reads it, may in some cases have skipped the flush after such a fork - though any repetitive test will soon wrap the count negative, in which case it will flush_dcache_page() unnecessarily. Fix would be a two-liner, but mapping variable added, and comment moved.

2008-12-10KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN fixesHugh Dickins
Miles Lane tailing /sys files hit a BUG which Pekka Enberg has tracked to my 966c8c12dc9e77f931e2281ba25d2f0244b06949 sprint_symbol(): use less stack exposing a bug in slub's list_locations() - kallsyms_lookup() writes a 0 to namebuf[KSYM_NAME_LEN-1], but that was beyond the end of page provided. The 100 slop which list_locations() allows at end of page looks roughly enough for all the other stuff it might print after the symbol before it checks again: break out KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN earlier than before. Latencytop and ftrace and are using KSYM_NAME_LEN buffers where they need KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffers, and vmallocinfo a 2*KSYM_NAME_LEN buffer where it wants a KSYM_SYMBOL_LEN buffer: fix those before anyone copies them.

Impact: fix possible deadlock in CPU hot-remove path This patch fixes a possible deadlock scenario in the CPU remove path. migration_call grabs rq->lock, then wakes up everything on rq->migration_queue with the lock held.

After some debugging, I saw that the "current" task point was changed inside__swtich_to(), ie: "write_pda(pcurrent, next_p);" inside process_64.c Since the tracer store the original return address of the function inside current, we had crashes. Only __switch_to() has to be excluded from tracing. kernel/module.c and kernel/extable.c: Because of a function used internally by the function graph tracer: __kernel_text_address() To let the other functions inside these files to be traced, this patch introduces the __notrace_funcgraph function prefix which is __notrace if function graph tracer is configured and nothing if not.

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.

Example with an ftrace_printk inside might_sleep() function: void __might_sleep(char *file, int line) { static unsigned long prev_jiffy; /* ratelimiting */ ftrace_printk("Hi I'm a comment in might_sleep() :-)"); A chunk of a resulting trace: 0) | _reiserfs_free_block() { 0) | reiserfs_read_bitmap_block() { 0) | __bread() { 0) | __getblk() { 0) | __find_get_block() { 0) 0.698 us | mark_page_accessed(); 0) 2.267 us | } 0) | __might_sleep() { 0) | /* Hi I'm a comment in might_sleep() :-) */ 0) 1.321 us | } 0) 5.872 us | } 0) 7.313 us | } 0) 8.718 us | } And this patch brings two minor fixes: - The newline after a switch-out task has disappeared - The "|" sign just before the cpu number on task-switch has been deleted. 0) 0.616 us | pick_next_task_rt(); 0) 1.457 us | _spin_trylock(); 0) 0.653 us | _spin_unlock(); 0) 0.728 us | _spin_trylock(); 0) 0.631 us | _spin_unlock(); 0) 0.729 us | native_load_sp0(); 0) 0.593 us | native_load_tls(); ------------------------------------------ 0) cat-2834 => migrati-3 ------------------------------------------ 0) | finish_task_switch() { 0) 0.841 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 0) 0.616 us | post_schedule_rt(); 0) 3.882 us | } Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-04ftrace: avoid duplicated function when writing set_graph_functionLiming Wang
Impact: fix a bug in function filter setting when writing function to set_graph_function, we should check whether it has existed in set_graph_function to avoid duplicating. Signed-off-by: Liming Wang <liming.wang@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-12-04ftrace: add ability to only trace swapper tasksSteven Rostedt
Impact: new feature This patch lets the swapper tasks of all CPUS be filtered by the set_ftrace_pid file. If '0' is echoed into this file, then all the idle tasks (aka swapper) is flagged to be traced. This affects all CPU idle tasks.

2008-12-04ftrace: use struct pidSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up, extend PID filtering to PID namespaces Eric Biederman suggested using the struct pid for filtering on pids in the kernel. This patch is based off of a demonstration of an implementation that Eric sent me in an email. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-04ftrace: trace single pid for function graph tracerSteven Rostedt
Impact: New feature This patch makes the changes to set_ftrace_pid apply to the function graph tracer. # echo $$ > /debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_pid # echo function_graph > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer Will cause only the current task to be traced. Note, the trace flags are also inherited by child processes, so the children of the shell will also be traced.

2008-12-04ftrace: use task struct trace flag to filter on pidSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up Use the new task struct trace flags to determine if a process should be traced or not. Note: this moves the searching of the pid to the slow path of setting the pid field. This needs to be converted to the pid name space. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
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.
