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: Pass trace_array to set_flag callback

2014-02-20T17:13:07Z

As options (flags) may affect instances instead of being global the set_flag() callbacks need to receive the trace_array descriptor of the instance they will be modifying. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Do not use signed enums with unsigned long long in fgragh output

2013-11-06T20:26:56Z

The duration field of print_graph_duration() can also be used to do the space filling by passing an enum in it: DURATION_FILL_FULL DURATION_FILL_START DURATION_FILL_END The problem is that these are enums and defined as negative, but the duration field is unsigned long long. Most archs are fine with this but blackfin fails to compile because of it: kernel/built-in.o: In function `print_graph_duration': kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:782: undefined reference to `__ucmpdi2' Overloading a unsigned long long with an signed enum is just bad in principle. We can accomplish the same thing by using part of the flags field instead. Cc: Mike Frysinger Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Update event filters for multibuffer

2013-11-05T21:50:20Z

The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using filters in the multibuffer case: Before: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect the same event in tracing/events as it does above. After: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away. The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard() redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as appropriate).

ftrace: Add set_graph_notrace filter

2013-10-19T02:23:16Z

The set_graph_notrace filter is analogous to set_ftrace_notrace and can be used for eliminating uninteresting part of function graph trace output. It also works with set_graph_function nicely. # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # echo do_page_fault > set_graph_function # perf ftrace live true 2) | do_page_fault() { 2) | __do_page_fault() { 2) 0.381 us | down_read_trylock(); 2) 0.055 us | __might_sleep(); 2) 0.696 us | find_vma(); 2) | handle_mm_fault() { 2) | handle_pte_fault() { 2) | __do_fault() { 2) | filemap_fault() { 2) | find_get_page() { 2) 0.033 us | __rcu_read_lock(); 2) 0.035 us | __rcu_read_unlock(); 2) 1.696 us | } 2) 0.031 us | __might_sleep(); 2) 2.831 us | } 2) | _raw_spin_lock() { 2) 0.046 us | add_preempt_count(); 2) 0.841 us | } 2) 0.033 us | page_add_file_rmap(); 2) | _raw_spin_unlock() { 2) 0.057 us | sub_preempt_count(); 2) 0.568 us | } 2) | unlock_page() { 2) 0.084 us | page_waitqueue(); 2) 0.126 us | __wake_up_bit(); 2) 1.117 us | } 2) 7.729 us | } 2) 8.397 us | } 2) 8.956 us | } 2) 0.085 us | up_read(); 2) + 12.745 us | } 2) + 13.401 us | } ... # echo handle_mm_fault > set_graph_notrace # perf ftrace live true 1) | do_page_fault() { 1) | __do_page_fault() { 1) 0.205 us | down_read_trylock(); 1) 0.041 us | __might_sleep(); 1) 0.344 us | find_vma(); 1) 0.069 us | up_read(); 1) 4.692 us | } 1) 5.311 us | } ...

tracing: Add ref_data to function and fgraph tracer structs

2013-07-19T01:31:31Z

The selftest for function and function graph tracers are defined as __init, as they are only executed at boot up. The "tracer" structs that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures need to be annotated with __ref_data. Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next" pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to wait till the next major release.

tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure

2013-03-15T04:35:40Z

Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max latency. The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat. This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred. The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.
