tracing: Fix number of entries in trace header

2019-02-15T17:42:26Z

The following commit 441dae8f2f29 ("tracing: Add support for display of tgid in trace output") removed the call to print_event_info() from print_func_help_header_irq() which results in the ftrace header not reporting the number of entries written in the buffer. As this wasn't the original intent of the patch, re-introduce the call to print_event_info() to restore the orginal behaviour.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier. - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base. - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more features to the histograms in the future. - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in the future to use str_has_prefix() instead. - A few other various clean ups as well. * tag 'trace-v4.21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (57 commits) tracing: Use the return of str_has_prefix() to remove open coded numbers tracing: Have the historgram use the result of str_has_prefix() for len of prefix tracing: Use str_has_prefix() instead of using fixed sizes tracing: Use str_has_prefix() helper for histogram code string.h: Add str_has_prefix() helper function tracing: Make function ‘ftrace_exports’ static tracing: Simplify printf'ing in seq_print_sym tracing: Avoid -Wformat-nonliteral warning tracing: Merge seq_print_sym_short() and seq_print_sym_offset() tracing: Add hist trigger comments for variable-related fields tracing: Remove hist trigger synth_var_refs tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to destroy var_refs tracing: Remove open-coding of hist trigger var_ref management tracing: Use var_refs[] for hist trigger reference checking tracing: Change strlen to sizeof for hist trigger static strings tracing: Remove unnecessary hist trigger struct field tracing: Fix ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() to use task and not current seq_buf: Use size_t for len in seq_buf_puts() seq_buf: Make seq_buf_puts() null-terminate the buffer arm64: Use ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() instead of curr_ret_stack ...

tracing: Use the return of str_has_prefix() to remove open coded numbers

2018-12-23T03:52:30Z

There are several locations that compare constants to the beginning of string variables to determine what commands should be done, then the constant length is used to index into the string. This is error prone as the hard coded numbers have to match the size of the constants. Instead, use the len returned from str_has_prefix() and remove the open coded string length sizes.

tracing: Use str_has_prefix() instead of using fixed sizes

2018-12-23T03:51:54Z

There are several instances of strncmp(str, "const", 123), where 123 is the strlen of the const string to check if "const" is the prefix of str. But this can be error prone. Use str_has_prefix() instead. Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Make function ‘ftrace_exports’ static

2018-12-22T13:21:06Z

In commit 478409dd683d ("tracing: Add hook to function tracing for other subsystems to use"), a new function ‘ftrace_exports’ was added. Since this function can be made static, make it so.

tracing: Use dyn_event framework for synthetic events

2018-12-09T01:54:10Z

Use dyn_event framework for synthetic events. This shows synthetic events on "tracing/dynamic_events" file in addition to tracing/synthetic_events interface. User can also define new events via tracing/dynamic_events with "s:" prefix. So, the new syntax is below; s:[synthetic/]EVENT_NAME TYPE ARG; [TYPE ARG;]... To remove events via tracing/dynamic_events, you can use "-:" prefix as same as other events.

tracing: Add unified dynamic event framework

2018-12-09T01:54:09Z

Add unified dynamic event framework for ftrace kprobes, uprobes and synthetic events. Those dynamic events can be co-exist on same file because those syntax doesn't overlap. This introduces a framework part which provides a unified tracefs interface and operations.

tracing: Change default buffer_percent to 50

2018-12-09T01:54:08Z

After running several tests, it appears that having the reader wait till half the buffer is full before starting to read (and causing its own events to fill up the ring buffer constantly), works well. It keeps trace-cmd (the main user of this interface) from dominating the traces it records. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Add tracefs file buffer_percentage

2018-12-09T01:54:08Z

Add a "buffer_percentage" file, that allows users to specify how much of the buffer (percentage of pages) need to be filled before waking up a task blocked on a per cpu trace_pipe_raw file. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

ring-buffer: Add percentage of ring buffer full to wake up reader

2018-12-09T01:54:08Z

Instead of just waiting for a page to be full before waking up a pending reader, allow the reader to pass in a "percentage" of pages that have content before waking up a reader. This should help keep the process of reading the events not cause wake ups that constantly cause reading of the buffer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)
