Instead of using ftrace_dump_on_oops, it's far more convenient
to have the trace leading up to a self-test failure available
in /debug/tracing/trace.

Impact: detect tracing related hangs
Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make
the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless
loop of timer interrupts servicing.
As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the
selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely
disabling this tracer.
For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace
hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump
the traces after this hang detection.

Impact: widen user-space visibe event IDs to all events
Previously only TRACE_EVENT events got ids, because only they
generated raw output which needs to be demuxed from the trace.
In order to provide a unique ID for each event, register everybody,
regardless.

With the added TRACE_EVENT macro, the events no longer appear in
the function graph tracer. This was because the function graph
did not know how to display the entries. The graph tracer was
only aware of its own entries and the printk entries.
By using the event call back feature, the graph tracer can now display
the events.
# echo irq > /debug/tracing/set_event
Which can show:
0) | handle_IRQ_event() {
0) | /* irq_handler_entry: irq=48 handler=eth0 */
0) | e1000_intr() {
0) 0.926 us | __napi_schedule();
0) 3.888 us | }
0) | /* irq_handler_exit: irq=48 return=handled */
0) 0.655 us | runqueue_is_locked();
0) | __wake_up() {
0) 0.831 us | _spin_lock_irqsave();
The irq entry and exit events show up as comments.

The function depth in trace_printk was to facilitate the function
graph output. Now that the function graph calculates the depth within
the trace output, we no longer need to record the depth when the
trace_printk is called.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
|
|
Currently, the function graph tracer depends on the trace_printk
to record the depth. All the information is already there in the trace
to calculate function depth, with the exception of having the printk
be the first item. But as soon as a entry or exit is reached, then
we know the depth.
This patch changes the iter->private data from recording a per cpu
last_pid, to a structure that holds both the last_pid and the current
depth. This data is used to determine the function depth for the
printks.

Impact: fix warning with irqsoff tracer
The ring buffer allocates its buffers on pre-smp time (early_initcall).
It means that, at first, only the boot cpu buffer is allocated and
the ring-buffer cpumask only has the boot cpu set (cpu_online_mask).
Later, the secondary cpu will show up and the ring-buffer will be notified
about this event: the appropriate buffer will be allocated and the cpumask
will be updated.
Unfortunately, if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG, the ring-buffer will not be
notified about the secondary cpus, meaning that the cpumask will have
only the cpu boot set, and only one cpu buffer allocated.
We fix that by using cpu_possible_mask if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG.
This patch fixes the following warning with irqsoff tracer running:

During the selftest of irqsoff tracer, we do that:
/* disable interrupts for a bit */
local_irq_disable();
udelay(100);
local_irq_enable();
/* stop the tracing. */
tracing_stop();
/* check both trace buffers */
ret = trace_test_buffer(tr, NULL);
If a callsite performs a new max delay with irqs off just after
tracing_stop, update_max_tr_single() -> ring_buffer_swap_cpu()
will be called with the buffers disabled by tracing_stop(), hence
the warning, then ring_buffer_swap_cpu() return -EAGAIN and
update_max_tr_single() complains.
Fix it by also stopping the tracer before stopping the tracing globally.
A similar situation can happen with preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracers
where we apply the same fix.

There is no need for such casting games. Use a constant to mark
unmapped entries and check for that constant to make the code readable

Impact: prevent overwrite of command line entries
When the tracer is stopped the command line recording continues to
record. The check for tracing_is_on() is not sufficient here as the
ringbuffer status is not affected by setting
debug/tracing/tracing_enabled to 0. On a non idle system this can
result in the loss of the command line information for the stopped
trace, which makes the trace harder to read and analyse.
Check tracer_enabled to allow further recording.

Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace
The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair.
But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the
wrong comm because it had no locking.
This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache
and not just send back a pointer to it.

Impact: fix a dynamic tracing failure
Recently, the function and function graph tracers failed to use dynamic
tracing after the following commit:
fa9d13cf135efbd454453a53b6299976bea245a9
(ftrace: don't try to __ftrace_replace_code on !FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED rec)
The patch is right except a mistake on the check for the FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED
flag. The code patching is aborted in case of successfully nopped sites.
What we want is the opposite: ignore the callsites that haven't been nopped.

Impact: fix crashes when tracing cpumasks
While ring-buffer allocation, the cpumasks are allocated too,
including the tracing cpumask and the per-cpu file mask handler.
But these cpumasks are freed accidentally just after.

Impact: fix a warning during preemptirqsoff selftests
When the preemptirqsoff selftest fails, we see the following
warning:
[ 6.050000] Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: .. no entries found ..
------------[ cut here ]------------

[ 6.060000] [<ffffffff8102510b>] init_irqsoff_tracer+0x3b/0x53
This is because in fail case, the preemptirqsoff tracer selftest calls twice
the tracing_start() function:
int
trace_selftest_startup_preemptirqsoff(struct tracer *trace, struct trace_array *tr)
{
if (!ret && !count) {
printk(KERN_CONT ".. no entries found ..");
ret = -1;
tracing_start(); <-----
goto out;
}
[...]
out:
trace->reset(tr);
tracing_start(); <------
tracing_max_latency = save_max;
return ret;
}
Since it is well handled in the out path, we don't need the conditional one.

Syscall tracing must select kallsysms.
The arch code builds a table to find the syscall metadata by syscall
number. It needs the syscalls names resolution from the symbol table
to know which name found on the syscalls metadatas match a function
pointer from the arch sys_call_table.

Impact: fix syscall tracer enable/disable race
The current thread flag toggling is racy as shown in the following
scenario:
- task A is the last user of syscall tracing, it releases the
TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks
- at the same time task B start syscall tracing. refcount == 0 so
it sets up TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks.
The effect of the mixup is unpredictable.
So this fix adds a mutex on {start,stop}_syscall_tracing().

Impact: fix 'stuck' syscall tracer
The syscall tracer uses a refcounter to enable several users
simultaneously.
But the refcounter did not behave correctly and always restored
its value to 0 after calling start_syscall_tracing(). Therefore,
stop_syscall_tracing() couldn't release correctly the tasks from
tracing.
Also the tracer forgot to reset the buffer when it is released.
Drop the pointless refcount decrement on start_syscall_tracing()
and reset the buffer when we release the tracer.
This fixes two reported issue:
- when we switch from syscall tracer to another tracer, syscall
tracing continued.
- incorrect use of the refcount.

Impact: new feature
This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is
currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing
engines can use it. (They just have to play with
{start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks
unless they want to override them.)
The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal
some metadata informations:
- syscall name, param types, param names, number of params
The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition
because we don't know if its prototype is available in the
namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to
build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its
metadata struct.
The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names
and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is
a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.

The binary_buffers directory in /debugfs/tracing held the files
to read the trace buffers in a binary format. This held one file
per CPU buffer. But we also have a per_cpu directory that holds
a way to read the pretty-print formats.
This patch moves the binary buffers into the per_cpu_directory:
# ls /debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/
trace trace_pipe trace_pipe_raw
The new name is called "trace_pipe_raw". The binary buffers always
acted similar to trace_pipe, except that they produce raw data.
