      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.

      tracing: add annotation to what type of stack trace is recorded · 563af16c
      Steven Rostedt authored
      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>

      tracing/events: fix output format of kernel stack · f11b3f4e
      walimis authored
      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.

      tracing/trace_stack: fix the number of entries in the header · 083a63b4
      walimis authored
      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.

      ring-buffer: discard timestamps that are at the start of the buffer · ea05b57c
      Steven Rostedt authored
      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.

      the timestamp instead of just wasting the space in the ring buffer.

      ring-buffer: fix bug in ring_buffer_discard_commit · a2023556
      Tim Bird authored
      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.

      ftrace: do not profile functions when disabled · 0f6ce3de
      Steven Rostedt authored
      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.

      tracing: make trace pipe recognize latency format flag · 112f38a7

      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.

      tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array() · 7fcb7c47
      Li Zefan authored
      __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

       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
      dependency.

      ftrace: add kernel command line function filtering · 2af15d6a
      Steven Rostedt authored
      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.

      tracing/stat: change dummpy_cmp() to return -1 · b3dd7ba7

      Currently the output of trace_stat/workqueues is totally reversed:

      The correct output should be:

      dummpy_cmp() should return -1, so rb_node will always be inserted as

      tracing/stat: replace linked list by an rbtree for sorting · 8f184f27
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      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.

      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.
