When reading the trace buffer, there is a race that when a module
is unloaded it removes events that is stilled referenced in the buffers.
This patch adds the protection around the unloading of the events
from modules and the reading of the trace buffers.

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
...
Cons:
- no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
But this may change in the future.
- A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
- In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.
And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
# ls -l -h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1

The ring buffer is a generic structure, and can be used outside of
ftrace. If ftrace traces within the use of the ring buffer, it can produce
false positives with lockdep.
This patch passes in a static lock key into the allocation of the ring
buffer, so that different ring buffers will have their own lock class.

The current method of printing out a stack trace is to add a new line
and print out the trace:
yum-updatesd-3120 [002] 573.691303:
=> do_softirq
=> irq_exit
=> smp_apic_timer_interrupt
=> apic_timer_interrupt
This looks a bit awkward, and if we have both stack and user stack traces
running, it would be nice to have a title to tell them apart, although
it is easy to tell by the output.
This patch adds an annotation to the start of the stack traces:
init-1 [003] 929.304979: <stack trace>
=> user_path_at
=> vfs_fstatat
=> vfs_stat

According to "events/ftrace/kernel_stack/format", output format of
kernel stack should use "=>" instead of "<=".
The second problem is that we shouldn't skip the first entry in the stack,
although it seems to be duplicated when used in the "function" tracer,
but events also use it. If we skip the first one, we will drop the topmost
entry of the stack.
The last problem is that if the last entry is ULONG_MAX(0xffffffff), we should
drop it, otherwise it will print a NULL name line.

The last entry in the stack_dump_trace is ULONG_MAX, which is not
a valid entry, but max_stack_trace.nr_entries has accounted for it.
So when printing the header, we should decrease it by one.
Before fix, print as following, for example:
Depth Size Location (53 entries) <--- should be 52
----- ---- --------
0) 3264 108 update_wall_time+0x4d5/0x9a0
...
51) 80 80 syscall_call+0x7/0xb
^^^
it's correct.

Every buffer page in the ring buffer includes its own time stamp.
When an event is recorded to the ring buffer with a delta time greater
than what can be held in the event header, a time stamp event is created.
If the the create timestamp falls over to the next buffer page, it is
redundant because the buffer page holds a full time stamp. This patch
will try to discard the time stamp when it falls to the start of the
next page.
This change also fixes a issues with disarding events. If most events are
discarded, timestamps will start to creep into the ring buffer. If we
do not discard the timestamps then they can fill up the ring buffer over
time and waste space.
This change will keep time stamps from filling up over another page. If
something is recorded in the buffer page, and the rest is filtered, then
the time stamps can only fill up to the end of the page.

There are times that a race may happen that we add a timestamp in a
nested write. This timestamp would just contain a zero delta and serves
no purpose.
Now that we have a way to discard events, this patch will try to discard
the timestamp instead of just wasting the space in the ring buffer.

There's a bug in ring_buffer_discard_commit. The wrong
pointer is being compared in order to check if the event
can be freed from the buffer rather than discarded
(i.e. marked as PAD).
I noticed this when I was working on duration filtering.
The bug is not deadly - it just results in lots of wasted
space in the buffer. All filtered events are left in
the buffer and marked as discarded, rather than being
removed from the buffer to make space for other events.
Unfortunately, when I fixed this bug, I got errors doing a
filtered function trace. Multiple TIME_EXTEND
events pile up in the buffer, and trigger the
following loop overage warning in rb_iter_peek():
again:
...
if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, ++nr_loops > 10))
return NULL;
I'm not sure what the best way is to fix this. I don't
know if I should extend the loop threshhold, or if I should
make the test more complex (ignore TIME_EXTEND
events), or just get rid of this loop check completely.
Note that if I implement a workaround for this, then I
see another problem from rb_advance_iter(). I haven't
tracked that one down yet.
In general, it seems like the case of removing filtered
events has not been working properly, and so some assumptions
about buffer invariant conditions need to be revisited.
Here's the patch for the simple fix:
Compare correct pointer for checking if an event can be
freed rather than left as discarded in the buffer.

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.

The trace_pipe did not recognize the latency format flag and would produce
different output than the trace file. The problem was partly due that
the trace flags in the iterator was not set as well as the trace_pipe
zeros out part of the iterator (including the flags) to be able to use
the same routines as the trace file. trace_flags of the iterator should
not cause any problems when not zeroed out by for trace_pipe.

__string() is limited:
- it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types
- a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size
We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string()
becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used
in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print.
Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the
string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used:
TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2,
TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args),
TP_ARGS(args),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field(int, namelen)
__dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1)
...
),
TP_fast_assign(
char *name = __get_str(name);
if (args->namelen)
memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen);
name[args->namelen] = '\0';
__entry->namelen = args->namelen;
),
TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d",
__entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL
__entry->namelen)

The event tracer and sched switch tracer.
The are enabled by all tracers, but if a tracer is not selected we want
the options to appear. All tracers including them select TRACING.
Thus what we would like to do is:
config EVENT_TRACER
bool "prompt"
depends on TRACING
select TRACING
But that gives us a bug in the kbuild system since we just created a
circular dependency. We only want the prompt to show when TRACING is off.
This patch adds GENERIC_TRACER that all tracers will select instead of
TRACING. The two options (sched switch and event tracer) will select
TRACING directly and depend on !GENERIC_TRACER. This solves the cicular

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.

sorting"
(53059c9b67a62a3dc8c80204d3da42b9267ea5a0).
dummpy_cmp() should return -1, so rb_node will always be inserted as
right-most node in the rbtree, thus we sort the output in ascending
order.

When the stat tracing framework prepares the entries from a tracer
to output them to the user, it starts by computing a linear sort
through a linked list to give the entries ordered by relevance
to the user.
This is quite ugly and causes a small latency when we begin to
read the file.
This patch changes that by turning the linked list into a red-black
tree. Athough the whole iteration using the start and next tracer
callbacks while opening the file remain the same, it is now much
more fast and scalable.
The rbtree guarantees O(log(n)) insertions whereas a linked
list with linear sorting brought us a O(n) despair. Now the
(visible) latency has disapeared.

The "trace" prefix in struct trace_stat_session type is annoying while
reading the trace_stat.c file. It makes the lines longer, and
is not that much useful to explain the sense of this type.
Just keep "struct stat_session" for this type.

The blankline between each cpu's workqueue stat is not necessary, because
the cpu number is enough to part them by eye.
Old style also caused a blankline below headline, and made code complex
by using lock, disableirq and get cpu var.

# CPU INSERTED EXECUTED NAME

v3: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Change TRACE_EVENT definition to new format
introduced by Steven Rostedt: consolidate trace and trace_event headers
v2: kosaki@jp.fujitsu.com: print the function names instead of addr, and zap
the work addr
v1: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Make workqueue tracepoints use TRACE_EVENT macro
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints.
Doing so adds these new capabilities to the tracepoints:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
Then, this patch converts DEFINE_TRACE to TRACE_EVENT in workqueue related
tracepoints.

Developers have been asking for the ability in the ftrace event tracer
to display names of bits in a flags variable.
Instead of printing out c2, it would be easier to read FOO|BAR|GOO,
assuming that FOO is bit 1, BAR is bit 6 and GOO is bit 7.
Some examples where this would be useful are the state flags in a context
switch, kmalloc flags, and even permision flags in accessing files.
[
v2 changes include:
Frederic Weisbecker's idea of using a mask instead of bits,
thus we can output GFP_KERNEL instead of GPF_WAIT|GFP_IO|GFP_FS.
Li Zefan's idea of allowing the caller of __print_flags to add their
own delimiter (or no delimiter) where we can get for file permissions
rwx instead of r|w|x.

If we enable a trace event alone without any tracer running (such as
function tracer, sched switch tracer, etc...) it can't output enough
task command information.
We need to use the tracing_{start/stop}_cmdline_record() helpers
which are designed to keep track of cmdlines for any tasks that
were scheduled during the tracing.

I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
through ftrace_find_event().
This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
window between any event dereferencing and module removal.
Eg:
--Task A--
print_trace_line(trace) {
event = find_ftrace_event(trace)
--Task B--
trace_module_remove_events(mod) {
list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) {
unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) {
hlist_del(ev->event->node)
list_del(....)
}
}
}
|--> module removed, the event has been dropped
--Task A--
event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory
If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
from a freed module.
RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,
and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().
