tracing: Fix missing osnoise tracer on max_latency

tracing: Add migrate-disabled counter to tracing output.

2021-09-03T23:42:35Z

migrate_disable() forbids task migration to another CPU. It is available since v5.11 and has already users such as highmem or BPF. It is useful to observe this task state in tracing which already has other states like the preemption counter. Instead of adding the migrate disable counter as a new entry to struct trace_entry, which would extend the whole struct by four bytes, it is squashed into the preempt-disable counter. The lower four bits represent the preemption counter, the upper four bits represent the migrate disable counter. Both counter shouldn't exceed 15 but if they do, there is a safety net which caps the value at 15. Add the migrate-disable counter to the trace entry so it shows up in the trace. Due to the users mentioned above, it is already possible to observe it: | bash-1108 [000] ...21 73.950578: rss_stat: mm_id=2213312838 curr=0 type=MM_ANONPAGES size=8192B | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: irq_disable: caller=flush_tlb_mm_range+0x115/0x130 parent=ptep_clear_flush+0x42/0x50 | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: tlb_flush: pages:1 reason:local mm shootdown (3) The last value is the migrate-disable counter. Things that popped up: - trace_print_lat_context() does not print the migrate counter. Not sure if it should. It is used in "verbose" mode and uses 8 digits and I'm not sure ther is something processing the value. - trace_define_common_fields() now defines a different variable. This probably breaks things. No ide what to do in order to preserve the old behaviour. Since this is used as a filter it should be split somehow to be able to match both nibbles here.

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek: - Optionally, provide an index of possible printk messages via /printk/index/. It can be used when monitoring important kernel messages on a farm of various hosts. The monitor has to be updated when some messages has changed or are not longer available by a newly deployed kernel. - Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter. It allows to generate crash dump even with slow consoles in a reasonable time frame. - Remove printk_safe buffers. The messages are always stored directly to the main logbuffer, even in NMI or recursive context. Also it allows to serialize syslog operations by a mutex instead of a spin lock. - Misc clean up and build fixes. * tag 'printk-for-5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux: printk/index: Fix -Wunused-function warning lib/nmi_backtrace: Serialize even messages about idle CPUs printk: Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter printk: Remove console_silent() lib/test_scanf: Handle n_bits == 0 in random tests printk: syslog: close window between wait and read printk: convert @syslog_lock to mutex printk: remove NMI tracking printk: remove safe buffers printk: track/limit recursion lib/nmi_backtrace: explicitly serialize banner and regs printk: Move the printk() kerneldoc comment to its new home printk/index: Fix warning about missing prototypes MIPS/asm/printk: Fix build failure caused by printk printk: index: Add indexing support to dev_printk printk: Userspace format indexing support printk: Rework parse_prefix into printk_parse_prefix printk: Straighten out log_flags into printk_info_flags string_helpers: Escape double quotes in escape_special printk/console: Check consistent sequence number when handling race in console_unlock()

tracing: Add a probe that attaches to trace events

2021-08-20T18:18:40Z

A new dynamic event is introduced: event probe. The event is attached to an existing tracepoint and uses its fields as arguments. The user can specify custom format string of the new event, select what tracepoint arguments will be printed and how to print them. An event probe is created by writing configuration string in 'dynamic_events' ftrace file: e[:[SNAME/]ENAME] SYSTEM/EVENT [FETCHARGS] - Set an event probe -:SNAME/ENAME - Delete an event probe Where: SNAME - System name, if omitted 'eprobes' is used. ENAME - Name of the new event in SNAME, if omitted the SYSTEM_EVENT is used. SYSTEM - Name of the system, where the tracepoint is defined, mandatory. EVENT - Name of the tracepoint event in SYSTEM, mandatory. FETCHARGS - Arguments: =$[:TYPE] - Fetch given filed of the tracepoint and print it as given TYPE with given name. Supported types are: (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), basic type (x8/x16/x32/x64), hexadecimal types "string", "ustring" and bitfield. Example, attach an event probe on openat system call and print name of the file that will be opened: echo "e:esys/eopen syscalls/sys_enter_openat file=\$filename:string" >> dynamic_events A new dynamic event is created in events/esys/eopen/ directory. It can be deleted with: echo "-:esys/eopen" >> dynamic_events Filters, triggers and histograms can be attached to the new event, it can be matched in synthetic events. There is one limitation - an event probe can not be attached to kprobe, uprobe or another event probe.

tracing: Have dynamic events have a ref counter

2021-08-18T22:13:47Z

As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep the dynamic event from going away. Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure, make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.

2021-08-16T15:37:20Z

Update both the tracefs README file as well as the histogram.rst to include an explanation of what the buckets modifier is and how to use it. Include an example with the wakeup_latency example for both log2 and the buckets modifiers as there was no existing log2 example.

tracing: Apply trace filters on all output channels

2021-08-16T15:01:52Z

The event filters are not applied on all of the output, which results in the flood of printk when using tp_printk. Unfolding event_trigger_unlock_commit_regs() into trace_event_buffer_commit(), so the filters can be applied on every output.
