2012-05-07tracing: Provide trace events interface for uprobesSrikar Dronamraju7-6/+823
Implements trace_event support for uprobes. In its current form it can be used to put probes at a specified offset in a file and dump the required registers when the code flow reaches the probed address. The following example shows how to dump the instruction pointer and %ax a register at the probed text address. Here we are trying to probe zfree in /bin/zsh: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # cat /proc/`pgrep zsh`/maps | grep /bin/zsh | grep r-xp 00400000-0048a000 r-xp 00000000 08:03 130904 /bin/zsh # objdump -T /bin/zsh | grep -w zfree 0000000000446420 g DF .text 0000000000000012 Base zfree # echo 'p /bin/zsh:0x46420 %ip %ax' > uprobe_events # cat uprobe_events p:uprobes/p_zsh_0x46420 /bin/zsh:0x0000000000046420 # echo 1 > events/uprobes/enable # sleep 20 # echo 0 > events/uprobes/enable # cat trace # tracer: nop # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | zsh-24842 [006] 258544.995456: p_zsh_0x46420: (0x446420) arg1=446421 arg2=79 zsh-24842 [007] 258545.000270: p_zsh_0x46420: (0x446420) arg1=446421 arg2=79 zsh-24842 [002] 258545.043929: p_zsh_0x46420: (0x446420) arg1=446421 arg2=79 zsh-24842 [004] 258547.046129: p_zsh_0x46420: (0x446420) arg1=446421 arg2=79 Signed-off-by: Srikar Dronamraju <[email protected]> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]> Cc: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <[email protected]> Cc: Jim Keniston <[email protected]> Cc: Linux-mm <[email protected]> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <[email protected]> Cc: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <[email protected]> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]> Cc: Anton Arapov <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]>

2012-04-23ring-buffer: Add per_cpu ring buffer control filesVaibhav Nagarnaik3-147/+293
Add a debugfs entry under per_cpu/ folder for each cpu called buffer_size_kb to control the ring buffer size for each CPU independently. If the global file buffer_size_kb is used to set size, the individual ring buffers will be adjusted to the given size. The buffer_size_kb will report the common size to maintain backward compatibility. If the buffer_size_kb file under the per_cpu/ directory is used to change buffer size for a specific CPU, only the size of the respective ring buffer is updated. When tracing/buffer_size_kb is read, it reports 'X' to indicate that sizes of per_cpu ring buffers are not equivalent.

2012-04-23tracing: Add percpu buffers for trace_printk()Steven Rostedt3-49/+141
Currently, trace_printk() uses a single buffer to write into to calculate the size and format needed to save the trace. To do this safely in an SMP environment, a spin_lock() is taken to only allow one writer at a time to the buffer. But this could also affect what is being traced, and add synchronization that would not be there otherwise. Ideally, using percpu buffers would be useful, but since trace_printk() is only used in development, having per cpu buffers for something never used is a waste of space. Thus, the use of the trace_bprintk() format section is changed to be used for static fmts as well as dynamic ones. Then at boot up, we can check if the section that holds the trace_printk formats is non-empty, and if it does contain something, then we know a trace_printk() has been added to the kernel. At this time the trace_printk per cpu buffers are allocated. A check is also done at module load time in case a module is added that contains a trace_printk(). Once the buffers are allocated, they are never freed. If you use a trace_printk() then you should know what you are doing. A buffer is made for each type of context: normal softirq irq nmi The context is checked and the appropriate buffer is used. This allows for totally lockless usage of trace_printk(), and they no longer even disable interrupts.

2012-04-19tracing: Fix stacktrace of latency tracers (irqsoff and friends)Steven Rostedt1-0/+5
While debugging a latency with someone on IRC (mirage335) on #linux-rt (OFTC), we discovered that the stacktrace output of the latency tracers (preemptirqsoff) was empty. This bug was caused by the creation of the dynamic length stack trace again (like commit 12b5da3 "tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output" was). This bug is caused by the latency tracers requiring the next event to determine the time between the current event and the next. But by grabbing the next event, the iter->ent_size is set to the next event instead of the current one. As the stacktrace event is the last event, this makes the ent_size zero and causes nothing to be printed for the stack trace. The dynamic stacktrace uses the ent_size to determine how much of the stack can be printed. The ent_size of zero means no stack. The simple fix is to save the iter->ent_size before finding the next event. Note, mirage335 asked to remain anonymous from LKML and git, so I will not add the Reported-by and Tested-by tags, even though he did report the issue and tested the fix.

2012-04-16tracing: Fix regression with tracing_onSteven Rostedt1-3/+5
The change to make tracing_on affect only the ftrace ring buffer, caused a bug where it wont affect any ring buffer. The problem was that the buffer of the trace_array was passed to the write function and not the trace array itself. The trace_array can change the buffer when running a latency tracer. If this happens, then the buffer being disabled may not be the buffer currently used by ftrace. This will cause the tracing_on file to become useless. The simple fix is to pass the trace_array to the write function instead of the buffer. Then the actual buffer may be changed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]>

Many users of debugfs copy the implementation of default_open() when they want to support a custom read/write function op. This leads to a proliferation of the default_open() implementation across the entire tree. Now that the common implementation has been consolidated into libfs we can replace all the users of this function with simple_open().

2012-03-27tracing: Fix ent_size in trace outputSteven Rostedt1-0/+4
When reading the trace file, the records of each of the per_cpu buffers are examined to find the next event to print out. At the point of looking at the event, the size of the event is recorded. But if the first event is chosen, the other events in the other CPU buffers will reset the event size that is stored in the iterator descriptor, causing the event size passed to the output functions to be incorrect. In most cases this is not a problem, but for the case of stack traces, it is. With the change to the stack tracing to record a dynamic number of back traces, the output depends on the size of the entry instead of the fixed 8 back traces. When the entry size is not correct, the back traces would not be fully printed. Note, reading from the per-cpu trace files were not affected.

2012-03-13ftrace: Fix function_graph for archs that test ftrace_trace_functionRajesh Bhagat1-1/+2
When CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set, some archs (ARM) test the variable function_trace_function to determine if it should call the function tracer. If it is not set to ftrace_stub, then it will call the function and return, and not call the function graph tracer. But some of these archs (ARM) do not have the assembly code to test if function tracing is enabled or not (quick stop of tracing) and it calls the helper routine ftrace_test_stop_func() instead. If function tracer is enabled and then disabled, the variable ftrace_trace_function is still set to the helper routine ftrace_test_stop_func(), and not to ftrace_stub. This will prevent the function graph tracer from ever running.

If the space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_filter file. The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_notrace file. The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space. The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions together.

We get something like: |S instead of just: S This is because the length of the temp seq buffer is used to determine if the delimiter is printed or not. But this algorithm fails when the seq buffer is not empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed because it thinks that a previous field was already printed.

The advantage of kcalloc is, that will prevent integer overflows which could result from the multiplication of number of elements and size and it is also a bit nicer to read.

2012-02-03ftrace: Change filter/notrace set functions to return exit codeJiri Olsa1-6/+9
Currently the ftrace_set_filter and ftrace_set_notrace functions do not return any return code. So there's no way for ftrace_ops user to tell wether the filter was correctly applied. The set_ftrace_filter interface returns error in case the filter did not match: # echo krava > set_ftrace_filter bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Changing both ftrace_set_filter and ftrace_set_notrace functions to return zero if the filter was applied correctly or -E* values in case of error.

2011-12-21tracing: Factorize filter creationTejun Heo1-141/+142
There are four places where new filter for a given filter string is created, which involves several different steps. This patch factors those steps into create_[system_]filter() functions which in turn make use of create_filter_{start|finish}() for common parts. The only functional change is that if replace_filter_string() is requested and fails, creation fails without any side effect instead of being ignored. Note that system filter is now installed after the processing is complete which makes freeing before and then restoring filter string on error unncessary. -v2: Rebased to resolve conflict with 49aa29513e and updated both create_filter() functions to always set *filterp instead of requiring the caller to clear it to %NULL on entry.

2011-12-21ftrace: Allow access to the boot time function enablingSteven Rostedt1-4/+4
Change set_ftrace_early_filter() to ftrace_set_early_filter() and make it a global function. This will allow other subsystems in the kernel to be able to enable function tracing at start up and reuse the ftrace function parsing code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]>
2011-12-21tracing: Have stack_tracer use a separate list of functionsSteven Rostedt1-1/+18
The stack_tracer is used to look at every function and check if the current stack is bigger than the last recorded max stack size. When a new max is found, then it saves that stack off. Currently the stack tracer is limited by the global_ops of the function tracer. As the stack tracer has nothing to do with the ftrace function tracer, except that it uses it as its internal engine, the stack tracer should have its own list. A new file is added to the tracing debugfs directory called: stack_trace_filter that can be used to select which functions you want to check the stack on.

2011-12-21ftrace: Decouple hash items from showing filtered functionsSteven Rostedt1-8/+8
The set_ftrace_filter shows "hashed" functions, which are functions that are added with operations to them (like traceon and traceoff). As other subsystems may be able to show what functions they are using for function tracing, the hash items should no longer be shown just because the FILTER flag is set. As they have nothing to do with other subsystems filters. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]>
2011-12-21ftrace: Allow other users of function tracing to use the output listingSteven Rostedt1-16/+25
The function tracer is set up to allow any other subsystem (like perf) to use it. Ftrace already has a way to list what functions are enabled by the global_ops. It would be very helpful to let other users of the function tracer to be able to use the same code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]>
2011-12-21ftrace: Create ftrace_hash_empty() helper routineSteven Rostedt1-11/+17
There are two types of hashes in the ftrace_ops; one type is the filter_hash and the other is the notrace_hash. Either one may be null, meaning it has no elements. But when elements are added, the hash is allocated. Throughout the code, a check needs to be made to see if a hash exists or the hash has elements, but the check if the hash exists is usually missing causing the possible "NULL pointer dereference bug". Add a helper routine called "ftrace_hash_empty()" that returns true if the hash doesn't exist or its count is zero. As they mean the same thing.

2011-12-21ftrace: Fix ftrace hash record update with notraceSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
When disabling the "notrace" records, that means we want to trace them. If the notrace_hash is zero, it means that we want to trace all records. But to disable a zero notrace_hash means nothing. The check for the notrace_hash count was incorrect with: if (hash && !hash->count) return With the correct comment above it that states that we do nothing if the notrace_hash has zero count. But !hash also means that the notrace hash has zero count. I think this was done to protect against dereferencing NULL. But if !hash is true, then we go through the following loop without doing a single thing. Fix it to: if (!hash || !hash->count) return; Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <[email protected]>
2011-12-21ftrace: Use bsearch to find record ipSteven Rostedt1-15/+23
Now that each set of pages in the function list are sorted by ip, we can use bsearch to find a record within each set of pages. This speeds up the ftrace_location() function by magnitudes. For archs (like x86) that need to add a breakpoint at every function that will be converted from a nop to a callback and vice versa, the breakpoint callback needs to know if the breakpoint was for ftrace or not. It requires finding the breakpoint ip within the records. Doing a linear search is extremely inefficient. It is a must to be able to do a fast binary search to find these locations.
