tracing: Fix check of ftrace_trace_arrays list_empty() check

2014-06-10T17:53:50Z

The check that tests if ftrace_trace_arrays is empty in top_trace_array(), uses the .prev pointer: if (list_empty(ftrace_trace_arrays.prev)) instead of testing the variable itself: if (list_empty(&ftrace_trace_arrays)) Although it is technically correct, it is awkward and confusing. Use the proper method. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/87oay1bas8.fsf@sejong.aot.lge.com Reported-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Return error if ftrace_trace_arrays list is empty

2014-06-06T08:47:46Z

ftrace_trace_arrays links global_trace.list. However, global_trace is not added to ftrace_trace_arrays if trace_alloc_buffers() failed. As the result, ftrace_trace_arrays becomes an empty list. If ftrace_trace_arrays is an empty list, current top_trace_array() returns an invalid pointer. As the result, the kernel can induce memory corruption or panic. Current implementation does not check whether ftrace_trace_arrays is empty list or not. So, in this patch, if ftrace_trace_arrays is empty list, top_trace_array() returns NULL. Moreover, this patch makes all functions calling top_trace_array() handle it appropriately.

tracing: Add funcgraph_tail option to print function name after closing braces

2014-05-21T03:29:32Z

In the function-graph tracer, add a funcgraph_tail option to print the function name on all } lines, not just functions whose first line is no longer in the trace buffer. If a function calls other traced functions, its total time appears on its } line. This change allows grep to be used to determine the function for which the line corresponds. Update Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt to describe this new option.

tracing: Eliminate duplicate TRACE_GRAPH_PRINT_xx defines

2014-05-21T03:28:34Z

Eliminate duplicate TRACE_GRAPH_PRINT_xx defines in trace_functions_graph.c that are already in trace.h. Add TRACE_GRAPH_PRINT_IRQS to trace.h, which is the only one that is missing.

tracing: Remove mock up poll wait function

2014-04-30T12:40:05Z

Now that the ring buffer has a built in way to wake up readers when there's data, using irq_work such that it is safe to do it in any context. But it was still using the old "poor man's" wait polling that checks every 1/10 of a second to see if it should wake up a waiter. This makes the latency for a wake up excruciatingly long. No need to do that anymore. Completely remove the different wait_poll types from the tracers and have them all use the default one now. Reported-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing/stack_trace: Skip 4 instead of 3 when using ftrace_ops_list_func

2014-04-24T17:36:03Z

When using ftrace_ops_list_func, we should skip 4 instead of 3, to avoid ftrace_call+0x5/0xb appearing in the stack trace: Depth Size Location (110 entries) ----- ---- -------- 0) 2956 0 update_curr+0xe/0x1e0 1) 2956 68 ftrace_call+0x5/0xb 2) 2888 92 enqueue_entity+0x53/0xe80 3) 2796 80 enqueue_task_fair+0x47/0x7e0 4) 2716 28 enqueue_task+0x45/0x70 5) 2688 12 activate_task+0x22/0x30 Add a function using_ftrace_ops_list_func() to test for this while keeping ftrace_ops_list_func to remain static.

tracing: Move ftrace_max_lock into trace_array

2014-04-21T17:59:27Z

In preparation for having tracers enabled in instances, the max_lock should be unique as updating the max for one tracer is a separate operation than updating it for another tracer using a different max. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Move tracing_max_latency into trace_array

2014-04-21T17:59:26Z

In preparation for letting the latency tracers be used by instances, remove the global tracing_max_latency variable and add a max_latency field to the trace_array that the latency tracers will now use. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Remove global function list and call function directly

2014-04-21T17:59:25Z

Instead of having a list of global functions that are called, as only one global function is allow to be enabled at a time, there's no reason to have a list. Instead, simply have all the users of the global ops, use the global ops directly, instead of registering their own ftrace_ops. Just switch what function is used before enabling the function tracer. This removes a lot of code as well as the complexity involved with it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

kernel: use macros from compiler.h instead of attribute((...))

2014-04-07T23:36:11Z

To increase compiler portability there is which provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs. Eg: __weak for __attribute__((weak)). I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes with the right macro in the kernel subsystem. Signed-off-by: Gideon Israel Dsouza Cc: "Rafael J.
