tracing: Fix converting enum's from the map in trace_event_eval_update()

2018-01-18T20:53:10Z

Since enums do not get converted by the TRACE_EVENT macro into their values, the event format displaces the enum name and not the value. This breaks tools like perf and trace-cmd that need to interpret the raw binary data. To solve this, an enum map was created to convert these enums into their actual numbers on boot up. This is done by TRACE_EVENTS() adding a TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro. Some enums were not being converted. This was caused by an optization that had a bug in it. All calls get checked against this enum map to see if it should be converted or not, and it compares the call's system to the system that the enum map was created under. If they match, then they call is processed. To cut down on the number of iterations needed to find the maps with a matching system, since calls and maps are grouped by system, when a match is made, the index into the map array is saved, so that the next call, if it belongs to the same system as the previous call, could start right at that array index and not have to scan all the previous arrays. The problem was, the saved index was used as the variable to know if this is a call in a new system or not. If the index was zero, it was assumed that the call is in a new system and would keep incrementing the saved index until it found a matching system. The issue arises when the first matching system was at index zero. The next map, if it belonged to the same system, would then think it was the first match and increment the index to one. If the next call belong to the same system, it would begin its search of the maps off by one, and miss the first enum that should be converted. This left a single enum not converted properly. Also add a comment to describe exactly what that index was for. It took me a bit too long to figure out what I was thinking when debugging this issue.

tracing: Reverse the order of trace_types_lock and event_mutex

2017-10-04T15:36:56Z

In order to make future changes where we need to call tracing_set_clock() from within an event command, the order of trace_types_lock and event_mutex must be reversed, as the event command will hold event_mutex and the trace_types_lock is taken from within tracing_set_clock().

tracing: Fix clear of RECORDED_TGID flag when disabling trace event

2017-09-05T16:00:09Z

When disabling one trace event, the RECORDED_TGID flag in the event file is not correctly cleared. It's clearing RECORDED_CMD flag when it should clear RECORDED_TGID flag.

tracing: Only have rmmod clear buffers that its events were active in

2017-08-31T21:47:38Z

Currently, when a module event is enabled, when that module is removed, it clears all ring buffers. This is to prevent another module from being loaded and having one of its trace event IDs from reusing a trace event ID of the removed module. This could cause undesirable effects as the trace event of the new module would be using its own processing algorithms to process raw data of another event. To prevent this, when a module is loaded, if any of its events have been used (signified by the WAS_ENABLED event call flag, which is never cleared), all ring buffers are cleared, just in case any one of them contains event data of the removed event. The problem is, there's no reason to clear all ring buffers if only one (or less than all of them) uses one of the events. Instead, only clear the ring buffers that recorded the events of a module that is being removed. To do this, instead of keeping the WAS_ENABLED flag with the trace event call, move it to the per instance (per ring buffer) event file descriptor. The event file descriptor maps each event to a separate ring buffer instance. Then when the module is removed, only the ring buffers that activated one of the module's events get cleared. The rest are not touched. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Add support for recording tgid of tasks

2017-06-27T17:30:28Z

Inorder to support recording of tgid, the following changes are made: * Introduce a new API (tracing_record_taskinfo) to additionally record the tgid along with the task's comm at the same time. This has has the benefit of not setting trace_cmdline_save before all the information for a task is saved. * Add a new API tracing_record_taskinfo_sched_switch to record task information for 2 tasks at a time (previous and next) and use it from sched_switch probe. * Preserve the old API (tracing_record_cmdline) and create it as a wrapper around the new one so that existing callers aren't affected. * Reuse the existing sched_switch and sched_wakeup probes to record tgid information and add a new option 'record-tgid' to enable recording of tgid When record-tgid option isn't enabled to being with, we take care to make sure that there's isn't memory or runtime overhead.

tracing/ftrace: Add a better way to pass data via the probe functions

2017-04-21T02:06:46Z

With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes (triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the top array. That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but this change sets the ground work for the change. When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init() function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place holder data that it was initialized to the last time. Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions, where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free() function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the place holder if it was allocade during the first init call. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

ftrace: Dynamically create the probe ftrace_ops for the trace_array

2017-04-21T02:06:46Z

In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and the filters for the probes. This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for each instance, instead of being static.
