Merge tag 'trace-v4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This patch series contains several clean ups and even a new trace clock "monitonic raw". Also some enhancements to make the ring buffer even faster. But the biggest and most noticeable change is the renaming of the ftrace* files, structures and variables that have to deal with trace events. Over the years I've had several developers tell me about their confusion with what ftrace is compared to events. Technically, "ftrace" is the infrastructure to do the function hooks, which include tracing and also helps with live kernel patching. But the trace events are a separate entity altogether, and the files that affect the trace events should not be named "ftrace". These include: include/trace/ftrace.h -> include/trace/trace_events.h include/linux/ftrace_event.h -> include/linux/trace_events.h Also, functions that are specific for trace events have also been renamed: ftrace_print_*() -> trace_print_*() (un)register_ftrace_event() -> (un)register_trace_event() ftrace_event_name() -> trace_event_name() ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() -> trace_trigger_soft_disabled() ftrace_define_fields_##call() -> trace_define_fields_##call() ftrace_get_offsets_##call() -> trace_get_offsets_##call() Structures have been renamed: ftrace_event_file -> trace_event_file ftrace_event_{call,class} -> trace_event_{call,class} ftrace_event_buffer -> trace_event_buffer ftrace_subsystem_dir -> trace_subsystem_dir ftrace_event_raw_##call -> trace_event_raw_##call ftrace_event_data_offset_##call-> trace_event_data_offset_##call ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call -> trace_event_type_funcs_##call And a few various variables and flags have also been updated. This has been sitting in linux-next for some time, and I have not heard a single complaint about this rename breaking anything. Mostly because these functions, variables and structures are mostly internal to the tracing system and are seldom (if ever) used by anything external to that" * tag 'trace-v4.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (33 commits) ring_buffer: Allow to exit the ring buffer benchmark immediately ring-buffer-benchmark: Fix the wrong type ring-buffer-benchmark: Fix the wrong param in module_param ring-buffer: Add enum names for the context levels ring-buffer: Remove useless unused tracing_off_permanent() ring-buffer: Give NMIs a chance to lock the reader_lock ring-buffer: Add trace_recursive checks to ring_buffer_write() ring-buffer: Allways do the trace_recursive checks ring-buffer: Move recursive check to per_cpu descriptor ring-buffer: Add unlikelys to make fast path the default tracing: Rename ftrace_get_offsets_##call() to trace_event_get_offsets_##call() tracing: Rename ftrace_define_fields_##call() to trace_event_define_fields_##call() tracing: Rename ftrace_event_type_funcs_##call to trace_event_type_funcs_##call tracing: Rename ftrace_data_offset_##call to trace_event_data_offset_##call tracing: Rename ftrace_raw_##call event structures to trace_event_raw_##call tracing: Rename ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() to trace_trigger_soft_disabled() tracing: Rename FTRACE_EVENT_FL_* flags to EVENT_FILE_FL_* tracing: Rename struct ftrace_subsystem_dir to trace_subsystem_dir tracing: Rename ftrace_event_name() to trace_event_name() tracing: Rename FTRACE_MAX_EVENT to TRACE_EVENT_TYPE_MAX ...

ring_buffer: Allow to exit the ring buffer benchmark immediately

2015-06-15T16:03:12Z

It takes a while until the ring_buffer_benchmark module is removed when the ring buffer hammer is running. It is because it takes few seconds and kthread_should_stop() is not being checked. This patch adds the check for kthread termination into the producer. It uses the existing @kill_test flag to finish the kthreads as cleanly as possible. It disables printing the "ERROR" message when the kthread is going. It makes sure that producer does not go into the 10sec sleep when it is being killed. Finally, it does not call wait_to_die() when kthread_should_stop() already returns true.

ring-buffer-benchmark: Fix the wrong sched_priority of producer

The producer should be used producer_fifo as its sched_priority, so correct it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1433923957-67842-1-git-send-email-long.wanglong@huawei.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.33+ Signed-off-by: Wang Long Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ring-buffer-benchmark: Fix the wrong type

2015-06-10T19:45:22Z

The macro 'module_param' shows that the type of the variable disable_reader and write_iteration is unsigned integer. so, we change their type form int to unsigned int.

2015-06-10T19:44:35Z

The {producer|consumer}_{nice|fifo} parameters are integer type, we should use 'int' as the second param in module_param. For example(consumer_fifo): the default value of consumer_fifo is -1.

trace: Use 64-bit timekeeping

2015-01-28T16:02:05Z

The ring_buffer_producer uses 'struct timeval' to measure its start and end times. 'struct timeval' on 32-bit systems will have its tv_sec value overflow in year 2038 and beyond. This patch replaces struct timeval with 'ktime_t' which uses 64-bit representation for nanoseconds.

sched, cleanup, treewide: Remove set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING) after schedule()

2014-09-19T10:35:17Z

schedule(), io_schedule() and schedule_timeout() always return with TASK_RUNNING state set, so one more setting is unnecessary. (All places in patch are visible good, only exception is kiblnd_scheduler() from: drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/klnds/o2iblnd/o2iblnd_cb.c Its schedule() is one line above standard 3 lines of unified diff) No places where set_current_state() is used for mb().

tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pages

2011-06-15T02:04:39Z

The tracing ring buffer is a group of per-cpu ring buffers where allocation and logging is done on a per-cpu basis. The events that are generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer. This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node locality while accessing the ring buffer. However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation routine is running at the time. This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the logging CPU. I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the syscall to complete. The following command was used to test: $ getuid_microbench 1000000 Compared the numbers found on kernel with and without this patch and found that logging latency decreases by 30-50 ns/call. tracing with non-NUMA allocation - 569 ns/call tracing with NUMA allocation - 512 ns/call Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Michael Rubin Cc: David Sharp Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304470602-20366-1-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ring-buffer: Make benchmark handle missed events

2010-04-27T17:26:58Z

With the addition of the "missed events" flags that is stored in the commit field of the ring buffer page, the ring_buffer_benchmark was not updated to handle this. If events are missed, then the missed events flag is set in the ring buffer page, the benchmark will count that flag as part of the size of the page and will hit the BUG() when it tries to read beyond the page. The solution is simply to have the ring buffer benchmark mask off the extra bits. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
