2013-07-18tracing: update event filters for multibufferTom Zanussi
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 'count > 65536' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/filter count > 65536 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'count > 4096' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/filter count > 4096 Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect the same event in tracing/events as it does above. After: # echo 'count > 65536' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/filter count > 65536 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'count > 4096' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/filter count > 65536 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 behavioir 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).

2013-07-18tracing: add and use generic set_trigger_filter() implementationTom Zanussi
Add a generic event_command.set_trigger_filter() op implementation and have the current set of trigger commands use it - this essentially gives them all support for filters. Syntactically, filters are supported by adding 'if <filter>' just after the command, in which case only events matching the filter will invoke the trigger. For example, to add a filter to an enable/disable_event command: echo 'enable_event:system:event if common_pid == 999' > \ .../othersys/otherevent/trigger The above command will only enable the system:event event if the common_pid field in the othersys:otherevent event is 999. As another example, to add a filter to a stacktrace command: echo 'stacktrace if common_pid == 999' > \ .../somesys/someevent/trigger The above command will only trigger a stacktrace if the common_pid field in the event is 999. The filter syntax is the same as that described in the 'Event filtering' section of Documentation/trace/events.txt. Because triggers can now use filters, the trigger-invoking logic needs to be moved - for ftrace_raw_event_calls, trigger invocation now needs to happen after the { assign; } part of the call. Also, because triggers need to be invoked even for soft-disabled events, the SOFT_DISABLED check and return needs to be moved from the top of the call to a point following the trigger check, which means that soft-disabled events actually get discarded instead of simply skipped. There's still a SOFT_DISABLED-only check at the top of the function, so when an event is soft disabled but not because of the presence of a trigger, the original SOFT_DISABLED behavior remains unchanged. There's also a bit of trickiness in that some triggers need to avoid being invoked while an event is currently in the process of being logged, since the trigger may itself log data into the trace buffer. Thus we make sure the current event is committed before invoking those triggers. To do that, we split the trigger invocation in two - the first part (event_triggers_call()) checks the filter using the current trace record; if a command has the post_trigger flag set, it sets a bit for itself in the return value, otherwise it directly invoks the trigger. Once all commands have been either invoked or set their return flag, event_triggers_call() returns. The current record is then either committed or discarded; if any commands have deferred their triggers, those commands are finally invoked following the close of the current event by event_triggers_post_call(). The syscall event invocation code is also changed in analogous ways. Because event triggers need to be able to create and free filters, this also adds a couple external wrappers for the existing create_filter and free_filter functions, which are too generic to be made extern functions themselves.

2013-07-18tracing: add 'enable_event' and 'disable_event' event trigger commandsTom Zanussi
Add 'enable_event' and 'disable_event' event_command commands. enable_event and disable_event event triggers are added by the user via these commands in a similar way and using practically the same syntax as the analagous 'enable_event' and 'disable_event' ftrace function commands, but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the enable_event and disable_event triggers are written to the per-event 'trigger' files: echo 'enable_event:system:event' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger echo 'disable_event:system:event' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger The above commands will enable or disable the 'system:event' trace events whenever the othersys:otherevent events are hit. This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the command will be invoked: echo 'enable_event:system:event:N' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger echo 'disable_event:system:event:N' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked. The above commands will will enable or disable the 'system:event' trace events whenever the othersys:otherevent events are hit, but only N times. This also makes the find_event_file() helper function extern, since it's useful to use from other places, such as the event triggers code, so make it accessible.

2013-07-18tracing: add 'stacktrace' event trigger commandTom Zanussi
Add 'stacktrace' ftrace_func_command. stacktrace event triggers are added by the user via this command in a similar way and using practically the same syntax as the analogous 'stacktrace' ftrace function command, but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the stacktrace event trigger is written to the per-event 'trigger' files: echo 'stacktrace' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger The above command will turn on stacktraces for someevent i.e. whenever someevent is hit, a stacktrace will be logged. This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the command will be invoked: echo 'stacktrace:N' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked. The above command will log N stacktraces for someevent i.e. whenever someevent is hit N times, a stacktrace will be logged. Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
2013-07-18tracing: add 'snapshot' event trigger commandTom Zanussi
Add 'snapshot' ftrace_func_command. snapshot event triggers are added by the user via this command in a similar way and using practically the same syntax as the analogous 'snapshot' ftrace function command, but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the snapshot event trigger is written to the per-event 'trigger' files: echo 'snapshot' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger The above command will turn on snapshots for someevent i.e. whenever someevent is hit, a snapshot will be done. This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the command will be invoked: echo 'snapshot:N' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked. The above command will snapshot N times for someevent i.e. whenever someevent is hit N times, a snapshot will be done. Also adds a new ftrace_alloc_snapshot() function - the ftrace snapshot command defines code that allocates a snapshot, which would be nice to be able to reuse, which this does.

2013-07-18tracing: add 'traceon' and 'traceoff' event trigger commandsTom Zanussi
Add 'traceon' and 'traceoff' ftrace_func_command commands. traceon and traceoff event triggers are added by the user via these commands in a similar way and using practically the same syntax as the analagous 'traceon' and 'traceoff' ftrace function commands, but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the traceon and traceoff triggers are written to the per-event 'trigger' files: echo 'traceon' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger echo 'traceoff' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger The above command will turn tracing on or off whenever someevent is hit. This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the command will be invoked: echo 'traceon:N' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger echo 'traceoff:N' > .../tracing/events/somesys/someevent/trigger Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked. The above commands will will turn tracing on or off whenever someevent is hit, but only N times. The event_trigger_init() and event_trigger_free() are meant to be common implementations of the event_trigger_ops init() and free() ops. Most trigger_ops implementations will use these, but some will override and possibly reuse them. Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>
2013-07-18tracing: add basic event trigger frameworkTom Zanussi
Add a 'trigger' file for each trace event, enabling 'trace event triggers' to be set for trace events. 'trace event triggers' are patterned after the existing 'ftrace function triggers' implementation except that triggers are written to per-event 'trigger' files instead of to a single file such as the 'set_ftrace_filter' used for ftrace function triggers. The implementation is meant to be entirely separate from ftrace function triggers, in order to keep the respective implementations relatively simple and to allow them to diverge. The event trigger functionality is built on top of SOFT_DISABLE functionality. It adds a TRIGGER_MODE bit to the ftrace_event_file flags which is checked when any trace event fires. Triggers set for a particular event need to be checked regardless of whether that event is actually enabled or not - getting an event to fire even if it's not enabled is what's already implemented by SOFT_DISABLE mode, so trigger mode directly reuses that. Event trigger essentially inherit the soft disable logic in __ftrace_event_enable_disable() while adding a bit of logic and trigger reference counting via tm_ref on top of that in a new trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() function. Because the base __ftrace_event_enable_disable() code now needs to be invoked from outside trace_events.c, a wrapper is also added for those usages. The triggers for an event are actually invoked via a new function, event_triggers_call(), and code is also added to invoke them for ftrace_raw_event calls as well as syscall events. The main part of the patch creates a new trace_events_trigger.c file to contain the trace event triggers implementation. The standard open, read, and release file operations are implemented here. The open() implementation sets up for the various open modes of the 'trigger' file. It creates and attaches the trigger iterator and sets up the command parser. If opened for reading set up the trigger seq_ops. The read() implementation parses the event trigger written to the 'trigger' file, looks up the trigger command, and passes it along to that event_command's func() implementation for command-specific processing. The release() implementation does whatever cleanup is needed to release the 'trigger' file, like releasing the parser and trigger iterator, etc. A couple of functions for event command registration and unregistration are added, along with a list to add them to and a mutex to protect them, as well as an (initially empty) registration function to add the set of commands that will be added by future commits, and call to it from the trace event initialization code. also added are a couple trigger-specific data structures needed for these implementations such as a trigger iterator and a struct for trigger-specific data. A couple structs consisting mostly of function meant to be implemented in command-specific ways, event_command and event_trigger_ops, are used by the generic event trigger command implementations. They're being put into trace.h alongside the other trace_event data structures and functions, in the expectation that they'll be needed in several trace_event-related files such as trace_events_trigger.c and trace_events.c. The event_command.func() function is meant to be called by the trigger parsing code in order to add a trigger instance to the corresponding event. It essentially coordinates adding a live trigger instance to the event, and arming the triggering the event. Every event_command func() implementation essentially does the same thing for any command: - choose ops - use the value of param to choose either a number or count version of event_trigger_ops specific to the command - do the register or unregister of those ops - associate a filter, if specified, with the triggering event The reg() and unreg() ops allow command-specific implementations for event_trigger_op registration and unregistration, and the get_trigger_ops() op allows command-specific event_trigger_ops selection to be parameterized. When a trigger instance is added, the reg() op essentially adds that trigger to the triggering event and arms it, while unreg() does the opposite. The set_filter() function is used to associate a filter with the trigger - if the command doesn't specify a set_filter() implementation, the command will ignore filters. Each command has an associated trigger_mode, which serves double duty, both as a unique identifier for the command as well as a value that can be used for setting a trigger mode bit during trigger invocation. The signature of func() adds a pointer to the event_command struct, used to invoke those functions, along with a command_data param that can be passed to the reg/unreg functions. This allows func() implementations to use command-specific blobs and supports code re-use. The event_trigger_ops.func() command corrsponds to the trigger 'probe' function that gets called when the triggering event is actually invoked. The other functions are used to list the trigger when needed, along with a couple mundane book-keeping functions. Some common register/unregister_trigger() implementations of the event_command reg()/unreg() callbacks are also provided, which add and remove trigger instances to the per-event list of triggers, and arm/disarm them as appropriate. Most event commands will use these, but some will override and possibly reuse them. Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Idea-by: Steve Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-07-17tracing: Add support for SOFT_DISABLE to syscall eventsTom Zanussi
The original SOFT_DISABLE patches didn't add support for soft disable of syscall events; this adds it and paves the way for future patches allowing triggers to be added to syscall events, since triggers are built on top of SOFT_DISABLE. Add an array of ftrace_event_file pointers indexed by syscall number to the trace array alongside the existing enabled bitmaps. The ftrace_event_file structs in turn contain the soft disable flags we need for per-syscall soft disable accounting; later patches add additional 'trigger' flags and per-syscall triggers and filters.

2013-07-16linked-list: Remove __list_for_eachDave Jones
__list_for_each used to be the non prefetch() aware list walking primitive. When we removed the prefetch macros from the list routines, it became redundant. Given it does exactly the same thing as list_for_each now, we might as well remove it and call list_for_each directly. All users of __list_for_each have been converted to list_for_each calls in the current merge window.

But the SLUB code is relatively lockless, and the spin_locks there are raw_spin_locks (not converted to mutexes), thus I believe this bug can happen in mainline without -rt features. The -rt patch is just good at triggering mainline bugs ;-) Anyway, looking at where this crashed, it seems that the page variable can be NULL when passed to the node_match() function (which does not check if it is NULL). When this happens we get the above panic. As page is only used in slab_alloc() to check if the node matches, if it's NULL I'm assuming that we can say it doesn't and call the __slab_alloc() code. Is this a correct assumption?

2013-07-13llist: llist_add() can use llist_add_batch()Oleg Nesterov
llist_add(new, head) can simply use llist_add_batch(new, new, head), no need to duplicate the code. This obviously uninlines llist_add() and to me this is a win. But we can make llist_add_batch() inline if this is desirable, in this case gcc can notice that new_first == new_last if the caller is llist_add().

2013-07-13llist: fix/simplify llist_add() and llist_add_batch()Oleg Nesterov
1. This is mostly theoretical, but llist_add*() need ACCESS_ONCE(). Otherwise it is not guaranteed that the first cmpxchg() uses the same value for old_entry and new_last->next. 2. These helpers cache the result of cmpxchg() and read the initial value of head->first before the main loop. I do not think this makes sense. In the likely case cmpxchg() succeeds, otherwise it doesn't hurt to reload head->first. I think it would be better to simplify the code and simply read ->first before cmpxchg().
