ftrace: latency tracer infrastructure This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will be used by later patches. If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files to the debugfs: The root tracing directory: /debugfs/tracing/ This patch also adds the following files: available_tracers list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are available. Looking into this file only shows "none" which is used to unregister all tracers. current_tracer The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up. To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that are listed in available_tracers: example: (used with later patches) echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer tracing_enabled echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1) echoing "0" turns it off. latency_trace This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace. trace This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace. iter_ctrl Controls the way the output of traces look. So far there's two controls: echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured) echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by humans. echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly. echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.

ftrace: mmiotrace, updates here is a patch that makes mmiotrace work almost well within the tracing framework. The patch applies on top of my previous patch. I have my own output formatting in place now. Summary of changes: - fix the NULL dereference that was due to not calling tracing_reset() - add print_line() callback into struct tracer - implement print_line() for mmiotrace, producing up-to-spec text - add my output header, but that is not really called in the right place - rewrote the main structs in mmiotrace - added two new trace entry types: TRACE_MMIO_RW and TRACE_MMIO_MAP - made some functions in trace.c non-static - check current==NULL in tracing_generic_entry_update() - fix(?) comparison in trace_seq_printf() Things seem to work fine except a few issues. Markers (text lines injected into mmiotrace log) are missing, I did not feel hacking them in before we have variable length entries. My output header is printed only for 'trace' file, but not 'trace_pipe'. For some reason, despite my quick fix, iter->trace is NULL in print_trace_line() when called from 'trace_pipe' file, which means I don't get proper output formatting. I only tried by loading nouveau.ko, which just detects the card, and that is traced fine. I didn't try further. Map, two reads and unmap. Works perfectly. I am missing the information about overflows, I'd prefer to have a counter for lost events. I didn't try, but I guess currently there is no way of knowning when it overflows? So, not too far from being fully operational, it seems :-) And looking at the diffstat, there also is some 700-900 lines of user space code that just became obsolete.

Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course. We can drop it if you want. On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free. On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not break the column with strings.... About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

tracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entries Impact: Split the boot tracer entries in two parts: call and return Now that we are using the sched tracer from the boot tracer, we want to use the same timestamp than the ring-buffer to have consistent time captures between sched events and initcall events. So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the ring buffer timestamp of both.

tracing/function-return-tracer: set a more human readable output Impact: feature This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing. For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack. The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch. Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at some locations. We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this way of processing is much more simpler. 2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function. If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth. I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are.

Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course. We can drop it if you want. On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free. On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not break the column with strings.... About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

blktrace: add ftrace plugin Impact: New way of using the blktrace infrastructure This drops the requirement of userspace utilities to use the blktrace facility. Configuration is done thru sysfs, adding a "trace" directory to the partition directory where blktrace can be enabled for the associated request_queue. The same filters present in the IOCTL interface are present as sysfs device attributes. The /sys/block/sdX/sdXN/trace/enable file allows tracing without any filters. The other files in this directory: pid, act_mask, start_lba and end_lba can be used with the same meaning as with the IOCTL interface. Using the sysfs interface will only setup the request_queue->blk_trace fields, tracing will only take place when the "blk" tracer is selected via the ftrace interface, as in the following example: To see the trace, one can use the /d/tracing/trace file or the /d/tracign/trace_pipe file, with semantics defined in the ftrace documentation in Documentation/ftrace.txt.

ftrace: latency tracer infrastructure This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will be used by later patches. If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files to the debugfs: The root tracing directory: /debugfs/tracing/ This patch also adds the following files: available_tracers list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are available. Looking into this file only shows "none" which is used to unregister all tracers. current_tracer The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up. To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that are listed in available_tracers: example: (used with later patches) echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer tracing_enabled echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1) echoing "0" turns it off. latency_trace This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace. trace This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace. iter_ctrl Controls the way the output of traces look. So far there's two controls: echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured) echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by humans. echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly. echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.

tracing/function-return-tracer: set a more human readable output Impact: feature This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing. For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack. The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch. Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at some locations. We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this way of processing is much more simpler. 2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function. If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth. I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are. I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part). Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the high part of eax could contain junk values...

tracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entries Impact: Split the boot tracer entries in two parts: call and return Now that we are using the sched tracer from the boot tracer, we want to use the same timestamp than the ring-buffer to have consistent time captures between sched events and initcall events. So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the ring buffer timestamp of both.

An example trace: [ 27.904149584] calling net_ns_init+0x0/0x1c0 @ 1 [ 27.904429624] initcall net_ns_init+0x0/0x1c0 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.904575926] calling reboot_init+0x0/0x20 @ 1 [ 27.904655399] initcall reboot_init+0x0/0x20 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.904800228] calling sysctl_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.905142914] initcall sysctl_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.905287211] calling ksysfs_init+0x0/0xb0 @ 1 ##### CPU 0 buffer started #### init-1 [000] 27.905395: 1:120:R + [001] 11:115:S ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 27.905425: 0:140:R ==> [001] 11:115:R init-1 [000] 27.905426: 1:120:D ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905431: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905451: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905456: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905458: 11:115:R + [001] 14:115:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905459: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905462: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905462: 11:115:R ==> [001] 14:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905467: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905470: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905473: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905476: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905479: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905482: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905486: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-14 [001] 27.905499: 14:120:X ==> [001] 11:115:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905506: 11:115:R + [000] 1:120:D <idle>-0 [000] 27.905515: 0:140:R ==> [000] 1:120:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905517: 11:115:S ==> [001] 0:140:R [ 27.905557107] initcall ksysfs_init+0x0/0xb0 returned 0 after 3906 msecs [ 27.905705736] calling init_jiffies_clocksource+0x0/0x10 @ 1 [ 27.905779239] initcall init_jiffies_clocksource+0x0/0x10 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.906769814] calling pm_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.906853627] initcall pm_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.906997803] calling pm_disk_init+0x0/0x20 @ 1 [ 27.907076946] initcall pm_disk_init+0x0/0x20 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907222556] calling swsusp_header_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.907294325] initcall swsusp_header_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907439620] calling stop_machine_init+0x0/0x50 @ 1 init-1 [000] 27.907485: 1:120:R + [000] 2:115:S init-1 [000] 27.907490: 1:120:D ==> [000] 2:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907507: 2:115:R + [001] 15:115:R <idle>-0 [001] 27.907517: 0:140:R ==> [001] 15:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907517: 2:115:D ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.907521: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.907524: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R udevd-15 [001] 27.907527: 15:115:D + [000] 2:115:D ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.907537: 4:115:S ==> [000] 2:115:R udevd-15 [001] 27.907537: 15:115:D ==> [001] 0:140:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907546: 2:115:R + [000] 1:120:D kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907550: 2:115:S ==> [000] 1:120:R init-1 [000] 27.907584: 1:120:R + [000] 15: 0:D init-1 [000] 27.907589: 1:120:R + [000] 2:115:S init-1 [000] 27.907593: 1:120:D ==> [000] 15: 0:R udevd-15 [000] 27.907601: 15: 0:S ==> [000] 2:115:R ##### CPU 0 buffer started #### kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907616: 2:115:R + [001] 16:115:R ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 27.907620: 0:140:R ==> [001] 16:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907621: 2:115:D ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-16 [001] 27.907625: 16:115:D + [000] 2:115:D <idle>-0 [000] 27.907628: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S udevd-16 [001] 27.907629: 16:115:D ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.907631: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.907636: 4:115:S ==> [000] 2:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907644: 2:115:R + [000] 1:120:D kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907647: 2:115:S ==> [000] 1:120:R init-1 [000] 27.907657: 1:120:R + [001] 16: 0:D <idle>-0 [001] 27.907666: 0:140:R ==> [001] 16: 0:R [ 27.907703862] initcall stop_machine_init+0x0/0x50 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907850704] calling filelock_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.907926573] initcall filelock_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.908071327] calling init_script_binfmt+0x0/0x10 @ 1 [ 27.908165195] initcall init_script_binfmt+0x0/0x10 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.908309461] calling init_elf_binfmt+0x0/0x10 @ 1 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is the default ouput, but note that I tried something else. If you change an option: echo kmem_minimalistic > /debugfs/trace_options and then cat /debugfs/trace, you will have the following output: # tracer: kmemtrace # # # ALLOC TYPE REQ GIVEN FLAGS POINTER NODE CALLER # FREE | | | | | | | | # | - C 0xffff88007c088780 file_free_rcu + K 4096 4096 000000d0 0xffff88007cad6000 -1 getname - C 0xffff88007cad6000 putname + K 4096 4096 000000d0 0xffff88007cad6000 -1 getname + K 240 240 000000d0 0xffff8800790dc780 -1 d_alloc - C 0xffff88007cad6000 putname + K 4096 4096 000000d0 0xffff88007cad6000 -1 getname + K 240 240 000000d0 0xffff8800790dc870 -1 d_alloc - C 0xffff88007cad6000 putname + K 4096 4096 000000d0 0xffff88007cad6000 -1 getname + K 240 240 000000d0 0xffff8800790dc960 -1 d_alloc + K 1304 1312 000000d0 0xffff8800791d7340 -1 reiserfs_alloc_inode - C 0xffff88007cad6000 putname + K 4096 4096 000000d0 0xffff88007cad6000 -1 getname - C 0xffff88007cad6000 putname + K 992 1000 000000d0 0xffff880079045b58 -1 alloc_inode + K 768 1024 000080d0 0xffff88007c096400 -1 alloc_pipe_info + K 240 240 000000d0 0xffff8800790dca50 -1 d_alloc + K 272 320 000080d0 0xffff88007c088780 -1 get_empty_filp + K 272 320 000080d0 0xffff88007c088000 -1 get_empty_filp Yeah I shall confess kmem_minimalistic should be: kmem_alternative. Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course. We can drop it if you want. On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free. On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not break the column with strings.... About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

tracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entries Impact: Split the boot tracer entries in two parts: call and return Now that we are using the sched tracer from the boot tracer, we want to use the same timestamp than the ring-buffer to have consistent time captures between sched events and initcall events. So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the ring buffer timestamp of both.

tracing/function-return-tracer: set a more human readable output Impact: feature This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing. For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack. The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch. Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at some locations. We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this way of processing is much more simpler. 2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function. If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth. I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are. I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part). Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the high part of eax could contain junk values... Here is an example of trace: sys_read() { fget_light() { } 526 vfs_read() { rw_verify_area() { security_file_permission() { cap_file_permission() { } 519 } 1564 } 2640 do_sync_read() { pipe_read() { __might_sleep() { } 511 pipe_wait() { prepare_to_wait() { } 760 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 504 } 1587 clear_buddies() { } 512 add_cfs_task_weight() { } 519 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 5602 dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 496 } 1631 clear_buddies() { } 496 update_min_vruntime() { } 527 } 4580 hrtick_update() { hrtick_start_fair() { } 488 } 1489 } 13700 } 14949 } 16016 msecs_to_jiffies() { } 496 put_prev_task_fair() { } 504 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_rt() { } 496 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_idle() { } 489 ------------8<---------- thread 4 ------------8<---------- finish_task_switch() { } 1203 do_softirq() { __do_softirq() { __local_bh_disable() { } 669 rcu_process_callbacks() { __rcu_process_callbacks() { cpu_quiet() { rcu_start_batch() { } 503 } 1647 } 3128 __rcu_process_callbacks() { } 542 } 5362 _local_bh_enable() { } 587 } 8880 } 9986 kthread_should_stop() { } 669 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { calc_delta_mine() { } 511 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 2813 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course. We can drop it if you want. On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free. On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not break the column with strings.... About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

ftrace: restructure tracing start/stop infrastructure Impact: change where tracing is started up and stopped Currently, when a new tracer is selected via echo'ing a tracer name into the current_tracer file, the startup is only done if tracing_enabled is set to one. If tracing_enabled is changed to zero (by echo'ing 0 into the tracing_enabled file) a full shutdown is performed. The full startup and shutdown of a tracer can be expensive and the user can lose out traces when echo'ing in 0 to the tracing_enabled file, because the process takes too long. There can also be places that the user would like to start and stop the tracer several times and doing the full startup and shutdown of a tracer might be too expensive. This patch performs the full startup and shutdown when a tracer is selected. It also adds a way to do a quick start or stop of a tracer. The quick version is just a flag that prevents the tracing from taking place, but the overhead of the code is still there. For example, the startup of a tracer may enable tracepoints, or enable the function tracer. The stop and start will just set a flag to have the tracer ignore the calls when the tracepoint or function trace is called. The overhead of the tracer may still be present when the tracer is stopped, but no tracing will occur. Setting the tracer to the 'nop' tracer (or any other tracer) will perform the shutdown of the tracer which will disable the tracepoint or disable the function tracer. The tracing_enabled file will simply start or stop tracing. This change is all internal. The end result for the user should be the same as before. If tracing_enabled is not set, no trace will happen. If tracing_enabled is set, then the trace will happen. The tracing_enabled variable is static between tracers. Enabling tracing_enabled and going to another tracer will keep tracing_enabled enabled. Same is true with disabling tracing_enabled. This patch will now provide a fast start/stop method to the users for enabling or disabling tracing. Note: There were two methods to the struct tracer that were never used: The methods start and stop. These were to be used as a hook to the reading of the trace output, but ended up not being necessary. These two methods are now used to enable the start and stop of each tracer, in case the tracer needs to do more than just not write into the buffer. For example, the irqsoff tracer must stop recording max latencies when tracing is stopped. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files Impact: split up tracing output per cpu Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are available to the user to let him extracting the trace output: - trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are available. - trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ... - trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe). The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations, sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer capture. The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus. But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time one trace buffer per cpu. So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/. Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and one trace file per cpu. Which means if you have two cpus, you will have: trace0 trace1 trace_pipe0 trace_pipe1 And of course, reading these files will have the same effect than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see the traces from the given cpu. The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on their original place. Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu. Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or trace_pipe1. Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

tracing/core: make the read callbacks reentrants Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be reentrants. Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(), and the seq helpers. Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for the other to finish its read call. The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another function. The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch prediction for that. Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what you think about it.

trace: better manage the context info for events Impact: make trace_event more convenient for tracers All tracers (for the moment) that use the struct trace_event want to have the context info printed before their own output: the pid/cmdline, cpu, and timestamp. But some other tracers that want to implement their trace_event callbacks will not necessary need these information or they may want to format them as they want. This patch adds a new default-enabled trace option: TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO When disabled through: echo nocontext-info > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options The pid, cpu and timestamps headers will not be printed. IE with the sched_switch tracer with context-info (default): bash-2935 [001] 100.356561: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> <idle>-0 [000] 100.412804: 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 <idle>-0 [000] 100.412816: 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 events/0-11 [000] 100.412829: 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> Without context-info: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> A tracer can disable it at runtime by clearing the bit TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO in trace_flags. The print routines were renamed to trace_print_context and trace_print_lat_context, so that they can be used by tracers if they want to use them for one of the trace_event callbacks.

tracing/function-return-tracer: set a more human readable output Impact: feature This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing. For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack. The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch. Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at some locations. We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this way of processing is much more simpler. 2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function. If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth. I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are. I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part). Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the high part of eax could contain junk values... Here is an example of trace: sys_read() { fget_light() { } 526 vfs_read() { rw_verify_area() { security_file_permission() { cap_file_permission() { } 519 } 1564 } 2640 do_sync_read() { pipe_read() { __might_sleep() { } 511 pipe_wait() { prepare_to_wait() { } 760 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 504 } 1587 clear_buddies() { } 512 add_cfs_task_weight() { } 519 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 5602 dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 496 } 1631 clear_buddies() { } 496 update_min_vruntime() { } 527 } 4580 hrtick_update() { hrtick_start_fair() { } 488 } 1489 } 13700 } 14949 } 16016 msecs_to_jiffies() { } 496 put_prev_task_fair() { } 504 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_rt() { } 496 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_idle() { } 489 ------------8<---------- thread 4 ------------8<---------- finish_task_switch() { } 1203 do_softirq() { __do_softirq() { __local_bh_disable() { } 669 rcu_process_callbacks() { __rcu_process_callbacks() { cpu_quiet() { rcu_start_batch() { } 503 } 1647 } 3128 __rcu_process_callbacks() { } 542 } 5362 _local_bh_enable() { } 587 } 8880 } 9986 kthread_should_stop() { } 669 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { calc_delta_mine() { } 511 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 2813 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

ftrace: graph of a single function This patch adds the file: /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function which can be used along with the function graph tracer. When this file is empty, the function graph tracer will act as usual. When the file has a function in it, the function graph tracer will only trace that function. For example: # echo blk_unplug > /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debugfs/tracing/trace [...] ------------------------------------------ | 2) make-19003 => kjournald-2219 ------------------------------------------ 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) | dm_unplug_all() { 2) | dm_get_table() { 2) 1.381 us | _read_lock(); 2) 0.911 us | dm_table_get(); 2) 1. 76 us | _read_unlock(); 2) + 12.912 us | } 2) | dm_table_unplug_all() { 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) 0.778 us | generic_unplug_device(); 2) 2.409 us | } 2) 5.992 us | } 2) 0.813 us | dm_table_put(); 2) + 29. 90 us | } 2) + 34.532 us | } You can add up to 32 functions into this file. Currently we limit it to 32, but this may change with later improvements.

ftrace: function tracer with irqs disabled Impact: disable interrupts during trace entry creation (as opposed to preempt) To help with performance, I set the ftracer to not disable interrupts, and only to disable preemption. If an interrupt occurred, it would not be traced, because the function tracer protects itself from recursion. This may be faster, but the trace output might miss some traces. This patch makes the fuction trace disable interrupts, but it also adds a runtime feature to disable preemption instead. It does this by having two different tracer functions. When the function tracer is enabled, it will check to see which version is requested (irqs disabled or preemption disabled). Then it will use the corresponding function as the tracer. Irq disabling is the default behaviour, but if the user wants better performance, with the chance of missing traces, then they can choose the preempt disabled version. Running hackbench 3 times with the irqs disabled and 3 times with the preempt disabled function tracer yielded: tracing type times entries recorded ------------ -------- ---------------- irq disabled 43.393 166433066 43.282 166172618 43.298 166256704 preempt disabled 38.969 159871710 38.943 159972935 39.325 161056510 Average: irqs disabled: 43.324 166287462 preempt disabled: 39.079 160300385 preempt is 10.8 percent faster than irqs disabled. I wrote a patch to count function trace recursion and reran hackbench. With irq disabled: 1,150 times the function tracer did not trace due to recursion. with preempt disabled: 5,117,718 times. The thousand times with irq disabled could be due to NMIs, or simply a case where it called a function that was not protected by notrace. But we also see that a large amount of the trace is lost with the preempt version.

trace: better manage the context info for events Impact: make trace_event more convenient for tracers All tracers (for the moment) that use the struct trace_event want to have the context info printed before their own output: the pid/cmdline, cpu, and timestamp. But some other tracers that want to implement their trace_event callbacks will not necessary need these information or they may want to format them as they want. This patch adds a new default-enabled trace option: TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO When disabled through: echo nocontext-info > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options The pid, cpu and timestamps headers will not be printed. IE with the sched_switch tracer with context-info (default): bash-2935 [001] 100.356561: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> <idle>-0 [000] 100.412804: 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 <idle>-0 [000] 100.412816: 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 events/0-11 [000] 100.412829: 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> Without context-info: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> A tracer can disable it at runtime by clearing the bit TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO in trace_flags. The print routines were renamed to trace_print_context and trace_print_lat_context, so that they can be used by tracers if they want to use them for one of the trace_event callbacks.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure Impact: lower overhead tracing The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify. The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro. Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure. Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) type: the C type of item. item: the name of the item in the stucture assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT An example of this would be: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success), TPARGS(rq, p, success), TPFMT("task %s:%d %s", p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success) ), TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d") ); This creates us a unique struct of: struct { pid_t pid; int success; }; And the way the call back would assign these values would be: entry->pid = p->pid; entry->success = success; The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created, the developer will then have a faster method to record into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself. The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this nice idea.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure Impact: lower overhead tracing The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify. The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.

ftrace: latency tracer infrastructure This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will be used by later patches. If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files to the debugfs: The root tracing directory: /debugfs/tracing/ This patch also adds the following files: available_tracers list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are available. Looking into this file only shows "none" which is used to unregister all tracers. current_tracer The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up. To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that are listed in available_tracers: example: (used with later patches) echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer tracing_enabled echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1) echoing "0" turns it off. latency_trace This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace. trace This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace. iter_ctrl Controls the way the output of traces look. So far there's two controls: echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured) echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by humans. echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly. echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.
