tracing: Fix graph tracer with stack tracer on other archs

2014-07-15T15:10:25Z

Running my ftrace tests on PowerPC, it failed the test that checks if function_graph tracer is affected by the stack tracer. It was. Looking into this, I found that the update_function_graph_func() must be called even if the trampoline function is not changed. This is because archs like PowerPC do not support ftrace_ops being passed by assembly and instead uses a helper function (what the trampoline function points to). Since this function is not changed even when multiple ftrace_ops are added to the code, the test that falls out before calling update_function_graph_func() will miss that the update must still be done. Call update_function_graph_function() for all calls to update_ftrace_function() Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.3+ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Lots of tweaks, small fixes, optimizations, and some helper functions to help out the rest of the kernel to ease their use of trace events.

ftrace: Remove FTRACE_UPDATE_MODIFY_CALL_REGS flag

2014-05-14T15:37:30Z

As the decision to what needs to be done (converting a call to the ftrace_caller to ftrace_caller_regs or to convert from ftrace_caller_regs to ftrace_caller) can easily be determined from the rec->flags of FTRACE_FL_REGS and FTRACE_FL_REGS_EN, there's no need to have the ftrace_check_record() return either a UPDATE_MODIFY_CALL_REGS or a UPDATE_MODIFY_CALL. Just he latter is enough. This added flag causes more complexity than is required. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Use the ftrace_addr helper functions to find the ftrace_addr

2014-05-14T15:37:29Z

With the moving of the functions that determine what the mcount call site should be replaced with into the generic code, there is a few places in the generic code that can use them instead of hard coding it as it does. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Make get_ftrace_addr() and get_ftrace_addr_old() global

2014-05-14T15:37:29Z

Move and rename get_ftrace_addr() and get_ftrace_addr_old() to ftrace_get_addr_new() and ftrace_get_addr_curr() respectively. This moves these two helper functions in the generic code out from the arch specific code, and renames them to have a better generic name. This will allow other archs to use them as well as makes it a bit easier to work on getting separate trampolines for different functions. ftrace_get_addr_new() returns the trampoline address that the mcount call address will be converted to. ftrace_get_addr_curr() returns the trampoline address of what the mcount call address currently jumps to.

ftrace: Always inline ftrace_hash_empty() helper function

2014-05-14T15:37:28Z

The ftrace_hash_empty() function is a simple test: return !hash || !hash->count; But gcc seems to want to make it a call. As this is in an extreme hot path of the function tracer, there's no reason it needs to be a call. I only wrote it to be a helper function anyway, otherwise it would have been inlined manually. Force gcc to inline it, as it could have also been a macro. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Write in missing comment from a very old commit

2014-05-14T15:37:27Z

Back in 2011 Commit ed926f9b35cda "ftrace: Use counters to enable functions to trace" changed the way ftrace accounts for enabled and disabled traced functions. There was a comment started as: /* * */ But never finished. Well, that's rather useless. I probably forgot to save the file before committing it. And it passed review from all this time. Anyway, better late than never. I updated the comment to express what is happening in that somewhat complex code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Remove boolean of hash_enable and hash_disable

2014-05-14T15:37:25Z

Commit 4104d326b670 "ftrace: Remove global function list and call function directly" cleaned up the global_ops filtering and made the code simpler, but it left a variable "hash_enable" that was used to know if the hash functions should be updated or not. It was updated if the global_ops did not override them. As the global_ops are now no different than any other ftrace_ops, the hash always gets updated and there's no reason to use the hash_enable boolean. The same goes for hash_disable used in ftrace_shutdown(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Have function graph tracer use global_ops for filtering

2014-05-02T03:21:16Z

Commit 4104d326b670 "ftrace: Remove global function list and call function directly" cleaned up the global_ops filtering and made the code simpler. But it left out function graph filtering which also depended on that code. The function graph filtering still needs to use global_ops as the filter otherwise it wont filter at all.
