2010-05-14tracing: Combine event filter_active and enable into single flags fieldSteven Rostedt
The filter_active and enable both use an int (4 bytes each) to set a single flag. We can save 4 bytes per event by combining the two into a single integer. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4894944 1018052 861512 6774508 675eec vmlinux.id 4894871 1012292 861512 6768675 674823 vmlinux.flags This gives us another 5K in savings. The modification of both the enable and filter fields are done under the event_mutex, so it is still safe to combine the two. Note: Although Mathieu gave his Acked-by, he would like it documented that the reads of flags are not protected by the mutex. The way the code works, these reads will not break anything, but will have a residual effect. Since this behavior is the same even before this patch, describing this situation is left to another patch, as this patch does not change the behavior, but just brought it to Mathieu's attention. v2: Updated the event trace self test to for this change.

2010-05-14tracing: Remove duplicate id information in event structureSteven Rostedt
Now that the trace_event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call structure, there is no need for the ftrace_event_call id field. The id field is the same as the trace_event type field. Removing the id and re-arranging the structure brings down the tracepoint footprint by another 5K. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4895024 1023812 861512 6780348 6775bc vmlinux.print 4894944 1018052 861512 6774508 675eec vmlinux.id Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2010-05-14tracing: Move print functions into event classSteven Rostedt
Currently, every event has its own trace_event structure. This is fine since the structure is needed anyway. But the print function structure (trace_event_functions) is now separate. Since the output of the trace event is done by the class (with the exception of events defined by DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT), it makes sense to have the class define the print functions that all events in the class can use. This makes a bigger deal with the syscall events since all syscall events use the same class. The savings here is another 30K. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900382 1048964 861512 6810858 67ecea vmlinux.init 4900446 1049028 861512 6810986 67ed6a vmlinux.preprint 4895024 1023812 861512 6780348 6775bc vmlinux.print To accomplish this, and to let the class know what event is being printed, the event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call structure.

2010-05-14tracing: Move raw_init from events to classSteven Rostedt
The raw_init function pointer in the event is used to initialize various kinds of events. The type of initialization needed is usually classed to the kind of event it is. Two events with the same class will always have the same initialization function, so it makes sense to move this to the class structure. Perhaps even making a special system structure would work since the initialization is the same for all events within a system. But since there's no system structure (yet), this will just move it to the class. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields 4900382 1048964 861512 6810858 67ecea vmlinux.init The text grew very slightly, but this is a constant growth that happened with the changing of the C files that call the init code. The bigger savings is the data which will be saved the more events share a class.

2010-05-14tracing: Move fields from event to class structureSteven Rostedt
Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure. Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead of the individual events. The events of the same class would just hold duplicate information. After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs 4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields). This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created. Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT() so this should not be an issue. The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic so it should not be a issue. The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event. v2: Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list of fields for both enter and exit.

2010-05-14tracing: Remove per event trace registeringSteven Rostedt
This patch removes the register functions of TRACE_EVENT() to enable and disable tracepoints. The registering of a event is now down directly in the trace_events.c file. The tracepoint_probe_register() is now called directly. The prototypes are no longer type checked, but this should not be an issue since the tracepoints are created automatically by the macros. If a prototype is incorrect in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, then other macros will catch it. The trace_event_class structure now holds the probes to be called by the callbacks. This removes needing to have each event have a separate pointer for the probe. To handle kprobes and syscalls, since they register probes in a different manner, a "reg" field is added to the ftrace_event_class structure. If the "reg" field is assigned, then it will be called for enabling and disabling of the probe for either ftrace or perf. To let the reg function know what is happening, a new enum (trace_reg) is created that has the type of control that is needed. With this new rework, the 82 kernel events and 618 syscall events has their footprint dramatically lowered: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4914025 1088868 861512 6864405 68be15 vmlinux.class 4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepoint 4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs The size went from 6863829 to 6819176, that's a total of 44K in savings. With tracepoints being continuously added, this is critical that the footprint becomes minimal. v5: Added #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS around a reference to perf specific structure in trace_events.c. v4: Fixed trace self tests to check probe because regfunc no longer exists. v3: Updated to handle void *data in beginning of probe parameters. Also added the tracepoint: check_trace_callback_type_##call(). v2: Changed the callback probes to pass void * and typecast the value within the function.

2010-05-14tracing: Create class struct for eventsSteven Rostedt
This patch creates a ftrace_event_class struct that event structs point to. This class struct will be made to hold information to modify the events. Currently the class struct only holds the events system name.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

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.

2009-09-14tracing: make testing syscall events a separate configurationSteven Rostedt
Parag noticed that the number of event tests has increased tremendously: grep "Testing event" dmesg.31rc9 |wc -l 100 grep "Testing event" dmesg.31git |wc -l 1172 This is due to the testing of every syscall event when ftrace self test is enabled. This adds a bit more time to kernel boot up and can affect development by slowing down the time it takes between reboots. This option makes the testing of the syscall events into a separate config, to still be able to test most of ftrace internals at boot up but not have to wait for all the syscall events to be tested. The syscall event testing only tests the enabling and disabling of the trace point, since the syscalls are not executed. What really needs to be done is to somehow have a userspace tool test the syscall tracepoints as well.

2009-09-13tracing: use the new trace_entries.h to create format filesSteven Rostedt
This patch changes the way the format files in debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are created. It uses the new trace_entries.h file to automate the creation of the format files to ensure that they are always in sync with the actual structures. This is the same methodology used to create the format files for the TRACE_EVENT macro. This also updates the filter creation that was built on the creation of the format files.

2009-09-11tracing: move tgid out of generic entry and into userstackSteven Rostedt
The userstack trace required the recording of the tgid entry. Unfortunately, it was added to the generic entry where it wasted 4 bytes of every entry and was only used by one entry. This patch moves it out of the generic field and moves it into the only user (userstack_entry). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-09-04tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracerSteven Rostedt
The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the wrong buffer. This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed in to the commit.

2009-08-27tracing: Restore the const qualifier for field names and types definitionFrederic Weisbecker
Restore the const qualifier in field's name and type parameters of trace_define_field that was lost while solving a conflict. Fields names and types are defined as builtin constant strings in static TRACE_EVENTs. But kprobes allocates these dynamically. That said, we still want to always pass these strings as const char * in trace_define_fields() to avoid any further accidental writes on the pointed strings.

2009-08-26tracing: Ftrace dynamic ftrace_event_call supportMasami Hiramatsu
Add dynamic ftrace_event_call support to ftrace. Trace engines can add new ftrace_event_call to ftrace on the fly. Each operator function of the call takes an ftrace_event_call data structure as an argument, because these functions may be shared among several ftrace_event_calls. Changes from v13: - Define remove_subsystem_dir() always (revirt a2ca5e03), because trace_remove_event_call() uses it. - Modify syscall tracer because of ftrace_event_call change.
