tracing: Fix SPDX format headers to use C++ style comments

2018-08-16T23:08:06Z

The Linux kernel adopted the SPDX License format headers to ease license compliance management, and uses the C++ '//' style comments for the SPDX header tags. Some files in the tracing directory used the C style /* */ comments for them. To be consistent across all files, replace the /* */ C style SPDX tags with the C++ // SPDX tags.

tracing: More reverting of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage"

2018-08-10T19:12:00Z

Joel Fernandes created a nice patch that cleaned up the duplicate hooks used by lockdep and irqsoff latency tracer. It made both use tracepoints. But the latency tracer is triggering warnings when using tracepoints to call into the latency tracer's routines. Mainly, they can be called from NMI context. If that happens, then the SRCU may not work properly because on some architectures, SRCU is not safe to be called in both NMI and non-NMI context. This is a partial revert of the clean up patch c3bc8fd637a9 ("tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage") that adds back the direct calls into the latency tracer. It also only calls the trace events when not in NMI.

tracing: Make tracer_tracing_is_on() return bool

2018-08-01T20:08:57Z

There's code that expects tracer_tracing_is_on() to be either true or false, not some random number. Currently, it should only return one or zero, but just in case, change its return value to bool, to enforce it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Remove orphaned function using_ftrace_ops_list_func().

2018-07-26T14:53:05Z

Remove using_ftrace_ops_list_func() since it is no longer used. Using ftrace_ops_list_func() has been introduced by commit 7eea4fce0246 ("tracing/stack_trace: Skip 4 instead of 3 when using ftrace_ops_list_func") as a helper function, but its caller has been removed by commit 72ac426a5bb0 ("tracing: Clean up stack tracing and fix fentry updates"). So it is not called anymore. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/153260904427.12474.9952096317439329851.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Make unregister_trigger() static

2018-07-26T14:50:18Z

Nothing uses unregister_trigger() outside of trace_events_trigger.c file, thus it should be static. Not sure why this was ever converted, because its counter part, register_trigger(), was always static. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Optimize trace_buffer_iter() logic

Simplify and optimize the logic in trace_buffer_iter() to use a conditional operation instead of an if conditional. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180408113631.3947-1-cugyly@163.com Signed-off-by: yuan linyu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Add trigger file for trace_markers tracefs/ftrace/print

2018-05-29T12:28:53Z

Allow writing to the trace_markers file initiate triggers defined in tracefs/ftrace/print/trigger file. This will allow of user space to trigger the same type of triggers (including histograms) that the trace events use. Had to create a ftrace_event_register() function that will become the trace_marker print event's reg() function. This is required because of how triggers are enabled: event_trigger_write() { event_trigger_regex_write() { trigger_process_regex() { for p in trigger_commands { p->func(); /* trigger_snapshot_cmd->func */ event_trigger_callback() { cmd_ops->reg() /* register_trigger() */ { trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() { trace_event_enable_disable() { call->class->reg(); Without the reg() function, the trigger code will call a NULL pointer and crash the system.

tracing: Have event_trace_init() called by trace_init_tracefs()

2018-05-29T12:28:29Z

Instead of having both trace_init_tracefs() and event_trace_init() be called by fs_initcall() routines, have event_trace_init() called directly by trace_init_tracefs(). This will guarantee order of how the events are created with respect to the rest of the ftrace infrastructure. This is needed to be able to assoctiate event files with ftrace internal events, such as the trace_marker. Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Add __find_event_file() to find event files without restrictions

2018-05-29T12:28:18Z

By adding the function __find_event_file() that can search for files without restrictions, such as if the event associated with the file has a reg function, or if it has the "ignore" flag set, the files that are associated to ftrace internal events (like trace_marker and function events) can be found and used. find_event_file() still returns a "filtered" file, as most callers need a valid trace event file. One created by the trace_events.h macros and not one created for parsing ftrace specific events. Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Do not reference event data in post call triggers

2018-05-29T12:28:02Z

Trace event triggers can be called before or after the event has been committed. If it has been called after the commit, there's a possibility that the event no longer exists. Currently, the two post callers is the trigger to disable tracing (traceoff) and the one that will record a stack dump (stacktrace). Neither of them reference the trace event entry record, as that would lead to a race condition that could pass in corrupted data. To prevent any other users of the post data triggers from using the trace event record, pass in NULL to the post call trigger functions for the event record, as they should never need to use them in the first place. This does not fix any bug, but prevents bugs from happening by new post call trigger users. Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)
