tracing: fix incorrect return type of ns2usecs()

2009-04-07T11:59:23Z

Impact: fix time output bug in 32bits system ns2usecs() returns 'long', it's incorrect. (In i386) ... -0 [000] 521.442100: _spin_lock <-tick_do_update_jiffies64 -0 [000] 521.442101: do_timer <-tick_do_update_jiffies64 -0 [000] 521.442102: update_wall_time <-do_timer -0 [000] 521.442102: update_xtime_cache <-update_wall_time .... (It always print the time less than 2200 seconds besides ...) Because 'long' is 32bits in i386. ( (1<<31) useconds is about 2200 seconds) ... -0 [001] 4154502640.134759: rcu_bh_qsctr_inc <-__do_softirq -0 [001] 4154502640.134760: _local_bh_enable <-__do_softirq -0 [001] 4154502640.134761: idle_cpu <-irq_exit ... (very large value) Because 'long' is a signed type and it is 32bits in i386.

trace: make argument 'mem' of trace_seq_putmem() const

2009-03-31T15:45:13Z

Impact: fix build warning I passed a const value to trace_seq_putmem(), and I got compile warning. Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Acked-by: Jens Axboe Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracing: provide trace_seq_reserve()

2009-03-31T15:45:02Z

trace_seq_reserve() allows a caller to reserve space in a trace_seq and write directly into it. This makes it easier to export binary data to userspace via the tracing interface, by simply filling in a struct. Signed-off-by: Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

ftrace: ensure every event gets an id

2009-03-20T09:17:06Z

Impact: widen user-space visibe event IDs to all events Previously only TRACE_EVENT events got ids, because only they generated raw output which needs to be demuxed from the trace. In order to provide a unique ID for each event, register everybody, regardless.

tracing: make print_(b)printk_msg_only global

2009-03-19T19:57:55Z

This patch makes print_printk_msg_only and print_bprintk_msg_only global for other functions to use. It also renames them by adding a "trace_" to the beginning to avoid namespace collisions. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: protect reader of cmdline output

2009-03-17T03:27:06Z

Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair. But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the wrong comm because it had no locking. This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache and not just send back a pointer to it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats strings

2009-03-13T01:15:00Z

Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic formats. So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will still be used. The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not. Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

tracing: remove funky whitespace in the trace code

2009-03-10T18:13:14Z

Impact: clean up There existed a lot of 's in the tracing code. This patch removes them. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of trace_bprintk()

2009-03-06T16:59:12Z

Impact: faster and lighter tracing Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(), which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries. Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc... V2: - Rebase against last changes - Fix mispell on the changelog V3: - Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Acked-by: Steven Rostedt LKML-Reference: <1236356510-8381-5-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracing: infrastructure for supporting binary record

2009-03-06T16:59:11Z

Impact: save on memory for tracing Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry, struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events. A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it. So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure is for this purpose.
