Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL
removal work. Let's get rid of it now.
Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of
code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have
left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with
older kernels.

Add bitfield type for tracing arguments on kprobe-tracer. The syntax of
a bitfield type is:
b<bit-size>@<bit-offset>/<container-size>
e.g.
Accessing 2 bits-width field with 4 bits-offset in 32 bits-width data at
4 bytes offseted from the address pointed by AX register:
+4(%ax):b2@4/32
Since the width of container data depends on the arch, so I just added
the container-size at the end.

Set "argN" name for each argument automatically if it has no specified name.
Since dynamic trace event(kprobe_events) accepts special characters for its
argument, its format can show those special characters (e.g. '$', '%', '+').
However, perf can't parse those format because of the character (especially
'%') mess up the format. This sets "argX" name for those arguments if user
omitted the argument names.
E.g.
# echo 'p do_fork %ax IP=%ip $stack' > tracing/kprobe_events
# cat tracing/kprobe_events
p:kprobes/p_do_fork_0 do_fork arg1=%ax IP=%ip arg3=$stack

The filter_active and enable both use an int (4 bytes each) to

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

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.

Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
that will hold the way to print ouf the event.
The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
function know what kind of event it should print.
This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
their output.

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.

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.

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:

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.

We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers.
Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted
registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs()
which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming
we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case
task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel
thread was started.
What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs,
so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the
sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other
things.
Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that.
Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g
Before:
perf [kernel] [k] __do_softirq
|
--- __do_softirq
|
|--55.16%-- __open
|
--44.84%-- __write_nocancel
After:
perf [kernel] [k] perf_tp_event
|
--- perf_tp_event
|
|--41.07%-- lock_acquire
| |
| |--39.36%-- _raw_spin_lock
| | |
| | |--7.81%-- hrtimer_interrupt
| | | smp_apic_timer_interrupt
| | | apic_timer_interrupt
The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having
right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we
want.
Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs,
let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval.
v2: Follow the rename perf_save_regs() -> perf_fetch_caller_regs()

[fweisbec@gmail: whitespace fixes, drop useless void returns in end
of functions]
Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>
Introduce ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() and ftrace_perf_buf_submit() to
gather the common code that operates on raw events sampling buffer.
This cleans up redundant code between regular trace events, syscall
events and kprobe events.
Changelog v1->v2:
- Rename function name as per Masami and Frederic's suggestion
- Add __kprobes for ftrace_perf_buf_prepare() and make
ftrace_perf_buf_submit() inline as per Masami's suggestion
- Export ftrace_perf_buf_prepare since modules will use it

Update kprobe tracing self test for new syntax (it supports
deleting individual probes, and drops $argN support)
and behavior change (new probes are disabled in default).
This selftest includes the following checks:
- Adding function-entry probe and return probe with arguments.
- Enabling these probes.
- Deleting it individually.

Drop function argument access syntax, because the function
arguments depend on not only architecture but also
compile-options and function API. And now, we have perf-probe
for finding register/memory assigned to each argument.

The previous patches added the use of print_fmt string and changes
the trace_define_field() function to also create the fields and
format output for the event format files.

The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set
compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set.
This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data.
The total savings of 24k in size.

This is part of a patch set that removes the show_format method
in the ftrace event macros.
Add the print_fmt initialization to the kprobe events.
The print_fmt is still not used, but will be in the follow up
patches.

tracing: Fix sign fields in ftrace_define_fields_##call()
tracing/syscalls: Fix typo in SYSCALL_DEFINE0
tracing/kprobe: Show sign of fields in trace_kprobe format files
ksym_tracer: Remove trace_stat
ksym_tracer: Fix race when incrementing count
ksym_tracer: Fix to allow writing newline to ksym_trace_filter
ksym_tracer: Fix to make the tracer work
tracing: Kconfig spelling fixes and cleanups
tracing: Fix setting tracer specific options
Documentation: Update ftrace-design.txt
Documentation: Update tracepoint-analysis.txt
Documentation: Update mmiotrace.txt
The format files of trace_kprobe do not show the sign of the fields.
The other format files show the field signed type of the fields and
this patch makes the trace_kprobe formats consistent with the others.

Quoted from Ingo:
| This reminds me - i think we should eliminate CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE -
| it's an unnecessary Kconfig complication. If both PERF_EVENTS and
| EVENT_TRACING is enabled we should expose generic tracepoints.
|
| Nor is it limited to event 'profiling', so it has become a misnomer as
| well.

Check new event/group name is same syntax as a C symbol. In other
words, checking the name is as like as other tracepoint events.
This can prevent user to create an event with useless name (e.g.
foo|bar, foo*bar).
