tracing: Return -EBUSY when event_enable_func() fails to get module

2013-05-16T15:01:16Z

Since try_module_get() returns false( = 0) when it fails to pindown a module, event_enable_func() returns 0 which means "succeed". This can cause a kernel panic when the entry is removed, because the event is already released. This fixes the bug by returning -EBUSY, because the reason why it fails is that the module is being removed at that time.

tracing: Add helper function trace_create_new_event() to remove duplicate code

2013-05-10T00:14:49Z

Both __trace_add_new_event() and __trace_early_add_new_event() do basically the same thing, except that __trace_add_new_event() does a little more. Instead of having duplicate code between the two functions, add a helper function trace_create_new_event() that both can use. This will help against having bugs fixed in one function but not the other. Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Modify soft-mode only if there's no other referrer

2013-05-10T00:14:25Z

Modify soft-mode flag only if no other soft-mode referrer (currently only the ftrace triggers) by using a reference counter in each ftrace_event_file. Without this fix, adding and removing several different enable/disable_event triggers on the same event clear soft-mode bit from the ftrace_event_file. This also happens with a typo of glob on setting triggers. e.g. # echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter # cat events/net/netif_rx/enable 0* # echo typo_func:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter # cat events/net/netif_rx/enable 0 # cat set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx:unlimited As above, we still have a trigger, but soft-mode is gone.

tracing: Indicate enabled soft-mode in enable file

2013-05-10T00:14:07Z

Indicate enabled soft-mode event as "1*" in "enable" file for each event, because it can be soft-disabled when disable_event trigger is hit.

tracing: Return error if register_ftrace_function_probe() fails for event_enable_func()

2013-05-09T15:30:26Z

register_ftrace_function_probe() returns the number of functions it registered, which can be zero, it can also return a negative number if something went wrong. But event_enable_func() only checks for the case that it didn't register anything, it needs to also check for the case that something went wrong and return that error code as well. Added some comments about the code as well, to make it more understandable. Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Don't succeed if event_enable_func did not register anything

2013-05-09T15:26:01Z

Return 0 instead of the number of activated ftrace function probes if event_enable_func succeeded and return an error code if it failed or did not register any functions. But it currently returns the number of registered functions and if it didn't register anything, it returns 0, but that is considered success. This also fixes the return value. As if it succeeds, it returns the number of functions that were enabled, which is returned back to the user in ftrace_regex_write (the write() return code). If only one function is enabled, then the return code of the write is one, and this can confuse the user program in thinking it only wrote 1 byte.

tracing: Convert trace_destroy_fields() to static

2013-03-15T17:22:08Z

trace_destroy_fields() is not used outside of the file. It can be a static function. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/513D842A.2000907@huawei.com Signed-off-by: zhangwei(Jovi) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Move find_event_field() into trace_events.c

2013-03-15T17:22:07Z

By moving find_event_field() and trace_find_field() into trace_events.c, the ftrace_common_fields list and trace_get_fields() can become local to the trace_events.c file. find_event_field() is renamed to trace_find_event_field() to conform to the tracing global function names.

tracing: Add function probe triggers to enable/disable events

2013-03-15T04:36:04Z

Add triggers to function tracer that lets an event get enabled or disabled when a function is called: format is: :enable_event::[:] :disable_event::[:] echo 'schedule:enable_event:sched:sched_switch' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter Every time schedule is called, it will enable the sched_switch event. echo 'schedule:disable_event:sched:sched_switch:2' > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter The first two times schedule is called while the sched_switch event is enabled, it will disable it. It will not count for a time that the event is already disabled (or enabled for enable_event).
