2011-03-22tracing: Fix set_ftrace_filter probe function displayJiri Olsa
If one or more function probes (like traceon) are enabled, and there's no other function filter, the first probe func is skipped (which one depends on the position in the hash). $ echo sys_open:traceon sys_close:traceon > ./set_ftrace_filter $ cat set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### sys_close:traceon:unlimited $ The reason was, that in the case of no other function filter, the func_pos was not properly updated before calling t_hash_start.

2011-02-11ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplugSteven Rostedt
When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks. All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new tasks. On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that existed when the cpu went down. ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even though one already existed for it. The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle(). Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task, which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu ret_stack.

2010-10-15llseek: automatically add .llseek fopArnd Bergmann
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a .llseek pointer. The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek. New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code relies on calling seek on the device file. The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle. Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window. Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic patch that does all this. ===== begin semantic patch ===== // This adds an llseek= method to all file operations, // as a preparation for making no_llseek the default. // // The rules are // - use no_llseek explicitly if we do nonseekable_open // - use seq_lseek for sequential files // - use default_llseek if we know we access f_pos // - use noop_llseek if we know we don't access f_pos, // but we still want to allow users to call lseek // @ open1 exists @ identifier nested_open; @@ nested_open(...) { <+... nonseekable_open(...) ...+> } @ open exists@ identifier open_f; identifier i, f; identifier open1.nested_open; @@ int open_f(struct inode *i, struct file *f) { <+...

2010-09-14tracing: Fix reading of set_ftrace_filter across listsSteven Rostedt
If we do: # cd /sys/kernel/debug # echo 'do_IRQ:traceon schedule:traceon sys_write:traceon' > \ set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter We get the following output: #### all functions enabled #### sys_write:traceon:unlimited schedule:traceon:unlimited do_IRQ:traceon:unlimited This outputs two lists. One is the fact that all functions are currently enabled for function tracing, the other has three probed functions, which happen to have 'traceon' as their commands. Currently, when reading the first list (functions enabled) the seq_file code will receive a "NULL" from the t_next() function causing it to exit early. This makes "read()" from userspace stop reading the code at this boarder. Although read is allowed to do this, some (broken) applications might consider this an end of file and stop early. This patch adds the start of the second list to t_next() when it finishes the first list. It is a simple change and gives the set_ftrace_filter file nicer reading ability.

2010-09-14tracing: Keep track of set_ftrace_filter position and allow lseek againSteven Rostedt

2010-09-14tracing: Replace typecasted void pointer in set_ftrace_filter codeSteven Rostedt
The set_ftrace_filter uses seq_file and reads from two lists. The pointer returned by t_next() can either be of type struct dyn_ftrace or struct ftrace_func_probe. If there is a bug (there was one) the wrong pointer may be used and the reference can cause an oops. This patch makes t_next() and friends only return the iterator structure which now has a pointer of type struct dyn_ftrace and struct ftrace_func_probe. The t_show() can now test if the pointer is NULL or not and if the pointer exists, it is guaranteed to be of the correct type. Now if there's a bug, only wrong data will be shown but not an oops.

2010-09-14tracing: Do not reset *pos in set_ftrace_filterSteven Rostedt

2010-09-08tracing: Do not allow llseek to set_ftrace_filterSteven Rostedt
Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things. 1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer 2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer 3) shows what triggers are set on any functions 3 is independent from 1 and 2. The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine, and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops. Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter). A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the next major release.

2010-06-03tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enableSteven Rostedt
The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

2010-05-14tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacksSteven Rostedt
This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks. The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data parameter. For example: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value) Will create the register function: int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe, void *data); As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data) parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like: void myprobe(void *data, int value) { } The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter. This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along with the function probe. void mycallback(void *data, int value); register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata); Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter before the args. A more detailed example: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status)); /* In the C file */ DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status)); [...] trace_mytracepoint(status); /* In a file registering this tracepoint */ int my_callback(void *data, int status) { struct my_struct my_data = data; [...] } [...] my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL); init_my_data(my_data); register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data); The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used to unregister the callback: unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data); Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have no args. That is: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS()); will cause an error. If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead: DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint); Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out. This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4914025 1088868 861512 6864405 68be15 vmlinux.class 4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepoint Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but lays the ground work for decreasing it. v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates. v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes. Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out. v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument. This makes the calling functions comply with C standards. Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE(). v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that do not need any arguments.

2010-04-27tracing: Fix sleep time function profilingSteven Rostedt
When sleep_time is off the function profiler ignores the time that a task is scheduled out. When the task is scheduled out a timestamp is taken. When the task is scheduled back in, the timestamp is compared to the current time and the saved calltimes are adjusted accordingly. But when stopping the function profiler, the sched switch hook that does this adjustment was stopped before shutting down the tracer. This allowed some tasks to not get their timestamps set when they scheduled out. When the function profiler started again, this would skew the times of the scheduler functions. This patch moves the stopping of the sched switch to after the function profiler is stopped. It also ignores zero set calltimes, which may happen on start up.

2010-04-27tracing: Show sample std dev in function profilingChase Douglas
When combined with function graph tracing the ftrace function profiler also prints the average run time of functions. While this gives us some good information, it doesn't tell us anything about the variance of the run times of the function. This change prints out the s^2 sample standard deviation alongside the average. This change adds one entry to the profile record structure. This increases the memory footprint of the function profiler by 1/3 on a 32-bit system, and by 1/5 on a 64-bit system when function graphing is enabled, though the memory is only allocated when the profiler is turned on. During the profiling, one extra line of code adds the squared calltime to the new record entry, so this should not adversly affect performance. Note that the square of the sample standard deviation is printed because there is no sqrt implementation for unsigned long long in the kernel.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-12function-graph: Init curr_ret_stack with ret_stackSteven Rostedt
If the graph tracer is active, and a task is forked but the allocating of the processes graph stack fails, it can cause crash later on. This is due to the temporary stack being NULL, but the curr_ret_stack variable is copied from the parent. If it is not -1, then in ftrace_graph_probe_sched_switch() the following: for (index = next->curr_ret_stack; index >= 0; index--) next->ret_stack[index].calltime += timestamp; Will cause a kernel OOPS.

2010-03-11ftrace: Replace read_barrier_depends() with rcu_dereference_raw()Paul E. McKenney
Replace the calls to read_barrier_depends() in ftrace_list_func() with rcu_dereference_raw() to improve readability. The reason that we use rcu_dereference_raw() here is that removed entries are never freed, instead they are simply leaked. This is one of a very few cases where use of rcu_dereference_raw() is the long-term right answer. And I don't yet know of any others. ;-) Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2010-03-05function-graph: Fix unused reference to ftrace_set_func()Steven Rostedt
The declaration of ftrace_set_func() is at the start of the ftrace.c file and wrapped with a #ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH condition. If function graph tracing is enabled but CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not, a warning about that function being declared static and unused is given. This really should have been placed within the CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH condition that uses ftrace_set_func(). Moving the declaration down fixes the warning and makes the code cleaner.

2010-02-04ftrace/alternatives: Introducing *_text_reserved functionsMasami Hiramatsu
Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace. Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text modifier, like kprobes. This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers should avoid those.
