2012-05-16ftrace: Return record ip addr for ftrace_location()Steven Rostedt
ftrace_location() is passed an addr, and returns 1 if the addr is on a ftrace nop (or caller to ftrace_caller), and 0 otherwise. To let kprobes know if it should move a breakpoint or not, it must return the actual addr that is the start of the ftrace nop. This way a kprobe placed on the location of a ftrace nop, can instead be placed on the instruction after the nop. Even if the probe addr is on the second or later byte of the nop, it can simply be moved forward.

2012-05-16ftrace: Consolidate ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved()Steven Rostedt
Both ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() do basically the same thing. They search to see if an address is in the ftace table (contains an address that may change from nop to call ftrace_caller). The difference is that ftrace_location() searches a single address, but ftrace_text_reserved() searches a range. This also makes the ftrace_text_reserved() faster as it now uses a bsearch() instead of linearly searching all the addresses within a page.

2012-05-16ftrace: Speed up search by skipping pages by addressSteven Rostedt
As all records in a page of the ftrace table are sorted, we can speed up the search algorithm by checking if the address to look for falls in between the first and last record ip on the page. This speeds up both the ftrace_location() and ftrace_text_reserved() algorithms, as it can skip full pages when the search address is not in them.

2012-05-16ftrace: Remove extra helper functionsSteven Rostedt
The ftrace_record_ip() and ftrace_alloc_dyn_node() were from the time of the ftrace daemon. Although they were still used, they still make things a bit more complex than necessary. Move the code into the one function that uses it, and remove the helper functions. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-05-16ftrace: Sort all function addresses, not just per pageSteven Rostedt
Instead of just sorting the ip's of the functions per ftrace page, sort the entire list before adding them to the ftrace pages. This will allow the bsearch algorithm to be sped up as it can also sort by pages, not just records within a page. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-05-16tracing: change CPU ring buffer state from tracing_cpumaskVaibhav Nagarnaik
According to Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt: tracing_cpumask: This is a mask that lets the user only trace on specified CPUS. The format is a hex string representing the CPUS. The tracing_cpumask currently doesn't affect the tracing state of per-CPU ring buffers. This patch enables/disables CPU recording as its corresponding bit in tracing_cpumask is set/unset.

2012-05-16ring-buffer: Reset head page before running self testSteven Rostedt
When the ring buffer does its consistency test on itself, it removes the head page, runs the tests, and then adds it back to what the "head_page" pointer was. But because the head_page pointer may lack behind the real head page (held by the link list pointer). The reset may be incorrect. Instead, if the head_page exists (it does not on first allocation) reset it back to the real head page before running the consistency tests. Then it will be put back to its original location after the tests are complete. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-05-16ring-buffer: Add integrity check at end of iter readSteven Rostedt
There use to be ring buffer integrity checks after updating the size of the ring buffer. But now that the ring buffer can modify the size while the system is running, the integrity checks were removed, as they require the ring buffer to be disabed to perform the check. Move the integrity check to the reading of the ring buffer via the iterator reads (the "trace" file). As reading via an iterator requires disabling the ring buffer, it is a perfect place to have it. If the ring buffer happens to be disabled when updating the size, we still perform the integrity check.

2012-05-16ring-buffer: Make addition of pages in ring buffer atomicVaibhav Nagarnaik
This patch adds the capability to add new pages to a ring buffer atomically while write operations are going on. This makes it possible to expand the ring buffer size without reinitializing the ring buffer. The new pages are attached between the head page and its previous page.

2012-05-16ring-buffer: Make removal of ring buffer pages atomicVaibhav Nagarnaik
This patch adds the capability to remove pages from a ring buffer without destroying any existing data in it. This is done by removing the pages after the tail page. This makes sure that first all the empty pages in the ring buffer are removed. If the head page is one in the list of pages to be removed, then the page after the removed ones is made the head page. This removes the oldest data from the ring buffer and keeps the latest data around to be read. To do this in a non-racey manner, tracing is stopped for a very short time while the pages to be removed are identified and unlinked from the ring buffer. The pages are freed after the tracing is restarted to minimize the time needed to stop tracing. The context in which the pages from the per-cpu ring buffer are removed runs on the respective CPU. This minimizes the events not traced to only NMI trace contexts.

2012-05-16tracing: Clean up tracing_mark_write()Steven Rostedt
On gcc 4.5 the function tracing_mark_write() would give a warning of page2 being uninitialized. This is due to a bug in gcc because the logic prevents page2 from being used uninitialized, and gcc 4.6+ does not complain (correctly). Instead of adding a "unitialized" around page2, which could show a bug later on, I combined page1 and page2 into an array map_pages[]. This binds the two and the two are modified according to nr_pages (what gcc 4.5 seems to ignore). This no longer gives a warning with gcc 4.5 nor with gcc 4.6.

2012-05-09perf/x86-ibs: Precise event sampling with IBS for AMD CPUsRobert Richter
This patch adds support for precise event sampling with IBS. There are two counting modes to count either cycles or micro-ops. If the corresponding performance counter events (hw events) are setup with the precise flag set, the request is redirected to the ibs pmu: perf record -a -e cpu-cycles:p ... # use ibs op counting cycle count perf record -a -e r076:p ... # same as -e cpu-cycles:p perf record -a -e r0C1:p ... # use ibs op counting micro-ops Each ibs sample contains a linear address that points to the instruction that was causing the sample to trigger. With ibs we have skid 0. Thus, ibs supports precise levels 1 and 2. Samples are marked with the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag set. In rare cases the rip is invalid when IBS was not able to record the rip correctly. Then the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag is cleared and the rip is taken from pt_regs. V2: * don't drop samples in precise level 2 if rip is invalid, instead support the PERF_EFLAGS_EXACT flag Signed-off-by: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120502103309.GP18810@erda.amd.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
2012-05-09perf/x86-ibs: Take instruction pointer from ibs sampleRobert Richter
Each IBS sample contains a linear address of the instruction that caused the sample to trigger. This address is more precise than the rip that was taken from the interrupt handler's stack. Update the rip with that address. We use this in the next patch to implement precise-event sampling on AMD systems using IBS.

2012-05-09perf/x86-ibs: Fix frequency profilingRobert Richter
Fixing profiling at a fixed frequency, in this case the freq value and sample period was setup incorrectly. Since sampling periods are adjusted we also allow periods that have lower 4 bits set. Another fix is the setup of the hw counter: If we modify hwc->sample_period, we also need to update hwc->last_period and hwc->period_left.

2012-05-09perf: Pass last sampling period to perf_sample_data_init()Robert Richter
We always need to pass the last sample period to perf_sample_data_init(), otherwise the event distribution will be wrong. Thus, modifiyng the function interface with the required period as argument. So basically a pattern like this: perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL); data.period = event->hw.last_period; will now be like that: perf_sample_data_init(&data, ~0ULL, event->hw.last_period); Avoids unininitialized data.period and simplifies code.

2012-05-09tracing: Remove ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()Steven Rostedt
The ftrace_disable_cpu() and ftrace_enable_cpu() functions were needed back before the ring buffer was lockless. Now that the ring buffer is lockless (and has been for some time), these functions serve no purpose, and unnecessarily slow down operations of the tracer.

It's appropriate to use __seq_open_private interface to open some of trace seq files, because it covers all steps we are duplicating in tracing code - zallocating the iterator and setting it as seq_file's private.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core Perf annotate browser improvements: - Get back the line separating the overheads from the disassembly, requested by Peter Zijlstra, Linus agreed now that it is a solid line and more column real state was harvested. Also it has the jump->arrow lines separated from it by the address/jump target column. - Don't change asm line color when toggling source code view. Requested by Peter Zijlstra.
