2009-06-24ftrace: Fix t_hash_start()Li Zefan
When the output of set_ftrace_filter is larger than PAGE_SIZE, t_hash_start() will be called the 2nd time, and then we start from the head of a hlist, which is wrong and causes some entries to be outputed twice. The worse is, if the hlist is large enough, reading set_ftrace_filter won't stop but in a dead loop.

2009-06-24ftrace: Don't manipulate @pos in t_start()Li Zefan
It's rather confusing that in t_start(), in some cases @pos is incremented, and in some cases it's decremented and then incremented. This patch rewrites t_start() in a much more general way. Thus we fix a bug that if ftrace_filtered == 1, functions have tracer hooks won't be printed, because the branch is always unreachable: static void *t_start(...) { ... if (!p) return t_hash_start(m, pos); return p; } Before: # echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter sys_open After: # echo 'sys_open' > /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # echo 'sys_write:traceon:4' >> /mnt/tracing/set_ftrace_filter sys_open sys_write:traceon:count=4 Reviewed-by: Liming Wang <liming.wang@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <4A41874B.4090507@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-06-02function-graph: always initialize task ret_stackSteven Rostedt
On creating a new task while running the function graph tracer, if we fail to allocate the ret_stack, and then fail the fork, the code will free the parent ret_stack. This is because the child duplicated the parent and currently points to the parent's ret_stack. This patch always initializes the task's ret_stack to NULL. [ Impact: prevent crash of parent on low memory during fork ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-02function-graph: add memory barriers for accessing task's ret_stackSteven Rostedt
The code that handles the tasks ret_stack allocation for every task assumes that only an interrupt can cause issues (even though interrupts are disabled). In reality, the code is allocating the ret_stack for tasks that may be running on other CPUs and there are not efficient memory barriers to handle this case. [ Impact: prevent crash due to using of uninitialized ret_stack variables ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-02function-graph: enable the stack after initialization of other variablesSteven Rostedt
The function graph tracer checks if the task_struct has ret_stack defined to know if it is OK or not to use it. The initialization is done for all tasks by one process, but the idle tasks use the same initialization used by new tasks. If an interrupt happens on an idle task that just had the ret_stack created, but before the rest of the initialization took place, then we can corrupt the return address of the functions. This patch moves the setting of the task_struct's ret_stack to after the other variables have been initialized. [ Impact: prevent kernel panic on idle task when starting function graph ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-02function-graph: only allocate init tasks if it was not already doneSteven Rostedt
When the function graph tracer is enabled, it calls the initialization needed for the init tasks that would be called on all created tasks. The problem is that this is called every time the function graph tracer is enabled, and the ret_stack is allocated for the idle tasks each time. Thus, the old ret_stack is lost and a memory leak is created. This is also dangerous because if an interrupt happened on another CPU with the init task and the ret_stack is replaced, we then lose all the return pointers for the interrupt, and a crash would take place. [ Impact: fix memory leak and possible crash due to race ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-02ftrace: do not profile functions when disabledSteven Rostedt
A race was found that if one were to enable and disable the function profiler repeatedly, then the system can panic. This was because a profiled function may be preempted just before disabling interrupts. While the profiler is disabled and then reenabled, the preempted function could start again, and access the hash as it is being initialized. This just adds a check in the irq disabled part to check if the profiler is enabled, and if it is not then it will just exit. When the system is disabled, the profile_enabled variable is cleared before calling the unregistering of the function profiler. This unregistering calls stop machine which also acts as a synchronize schedule. [ Impact: fix panic in enabling/disabling function profiler ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-02ftrace: add kernel command line function filteringSteven Rostedt
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called. This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands. ftrace_notrace=function-list ftrace_filter=function-list Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter. The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions listed. These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively. The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also be used by the command line interface. ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin* Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has the word spin in it. Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering set by the command lines. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-04-17ftrace: use module notifier for function tracerSteven Rostedt
The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF. To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented the hooks as calls directly from the module code. After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes the use of the notify safe with ftrace. Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify any code. This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex.

2009-03-26tracing: remove on the fly allocator from function profilerSteven Rostedt
Impact: safer code The on the fly allocator for the function profiler was to save memory. But at the expense of stability. Although it survived several tests, allocating from the function tracer is just too risky, just to save space. This patch removes the allocator and simply allocates enough entries at start up. Each function gets a profiling structure of 40 bytes. With an average of 20K functions, and this is for each CPU, we have 800K per online CPU. This is not too bad, at least for non-embedded.

2009-03-25tracing: move function profiler data out of function structSteven Rostedt
Impact: reduce size of memory in function profiler The function profiler originally introduces its counters into the function records itself. There is 20 thousand different functions on a normal system, and that is adding 20 thousand counters for profiling event when not needed. A normal run of the profiler yields only a couple of thousand functions executed, depending on what is being profiled. This means we have around 18 thousand useless counters. This patch rectifies this by moving the data out of the function records used by dynamic ftrace. Data is preallocated to hold the functions when the profiling begins. Checks are made during profiling to see if more recorcds should be allocated, and they are allocated if it is safe to do so. This also removes the dependency from using dynamic ftrace, and also removes the overhead by having it enabled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-25tracing: add function profilerSteven Rostedt
Impact: new profiling feature This patch adds a function profiler. In debugfs/tracing/ two new files are created. function_profile_enabled - to enable or disable profiling trace_stat/functions - the profiled functions. For example: echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled ./hackbench 50 echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled yields: cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/functions Function Hit -------- --- _spin_lock 10106442 _spin_unlock 10097492 kfree 6013704 _spin_unlock_irqrestore 4423941 _spin_lock_irqsave 4406825 __phys_addr 4181686 __slab_free 4038222 dput 4030130 path_put 4023387 unroll_tree_refs 4019532 [...] The most hit functions are listed first. Functions that are not hit are not listed. This feature depends on and uses dynamic function tracing. When the function profiling is disabled, no overhead occurs. But it still takes up around 300KB to hold the data, thus it is not recomended to keep it enabled for systems low on memory. When a '1' is echoed into the function_profile_enabled file, the counters for is function is reset back to zero. Thus you can see what functions are hit most by different programs.

2009-02-17tracing/function-graph-tracer: trace the idle tasksFrederic Weisbecker
When the function graph tracer is activated, it iterates over the task_list to allocate a stack to store the return addresses. But the per cpu idle tasks are not iterated by using do_each_thread / while_each_thread. So we have to iterate on them manually. This fixes somes weirdness in the traces and many losses of traces. Examples on two cpus: 0) Xorg-4287 | 2.906 us | } 0) Xorg-4287 | 3.965 us | } 0) Xorg-4287 | 5.302 us | } ------------------------------------------ 0) Xorg-4287 => <idle>-0 ------------------------------------------ 0) <idle>-0 | 2.861 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.526 us | set_normalized_timespec(); 0) <idle>-0 | 7.201 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 8.214 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | | clockevents_program_event() { 0) <idle>-0 | | lapic_next_event() { 0) <idle>-0 | 0.510 us | native_apic_mem_write(); 0) <idle>-0 | 1.546 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 2.583 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 12.435 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 13.470 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.608 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 0) <idle>-0 | + 23.270 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 24.336 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 25.417 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.593 us | _spin_unlock(); 0) <idle>-0 | + 41.869 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 42.906 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | + 95.035 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.540 us | menu_reflect(); 0) <idle>-0 | ! 100.404 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | 0.564 us | mce_idle_callback(); 0) <idle>-0 | | enter_idle() { 0) <idle>-0 | 0.526 us | mce_idle_callback(); 0) <idle>-0 | 1.757 us | } 0) <idle>-0 | | cpuidle_idle_call() { 0) <idle>-0 | | menu_select() { 0) <idle>-0 | 0.525 us | pm_qos_requirement(); 0) <idle>-0 | 0.518 us | tick_nohz_get_sleep_length(); 0) <idle>-0 | 2.621 us | } [...] 1) <idle>-0 | 0.518 us | touch_softlockup_watchdog(); 1) <idle>-0 | + 14.355 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | + 22.840 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | + 25.949 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | | handle_irq() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.511 us | irq_to_desc(); 1) <idle>-0 | | handle_edge_irq() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.638 us | _spin_lock(); 1) <idle>-0 | | ack_apic_edge() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.510 us | irq_to_desc(); 1) <idle>-0 | | move_native_irq() { 1) <idle>-0 | 0.510 us | irq_to_desc(); 1) <idle>-0 | 1.532 us | } 1) <idle>-0 | 0.511 us | native_apic_mem_write(); ------------------------------------------ 1) <idle>-0 => cat-5073 ------------------------------------------ 1) cat-5073 | 3.731 us | } 1) cat-5073 | | run_local_timers() { 1) cat-5073 | 0.533 us | hrtimer_run_queues(); 1) cat-5073 | | raise_softirq() { 1) cat-5073 | | __raise_softirq_irqoff() { 1) cat-5073 | | /* nr: 1 */ 1) cat-5073 | 2.718 us | } 1) cat-5073 | 3.814 us | } Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-17ftrace: rename _hook to _probeSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up Ingo Molnar did not like the _hook naming convention used by the select function tracer. Luis Claudio R. Goncalves suggested using the "_probe" extension. This patch implements the change of calling the functions and variables "_hook" and replacing them with "_probe". Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
