2014-11-14trace: Replace single-character seq_puts with seq_putcRasmus Villemoes
Printing a single character to a seqfile might as well be done with seq_putc instead of seq_puts; this avoids a strlen() call and a memory access. It also shaves another few bytes off the generated code.

2014-11-13tracing: Replace seq_printf by simpler equivalentsRasmus Villemoes
Using seq_printf to print a simple string or a single character is a lot more expensive than it needs to be, since seq_puts and seq_putc exist. These patches do seq_printf(m, s) -> seq_puts(m, s) seq_printf(m, "%s", s) -> seq_puts(m, s) seq_printf(m, "%c", c) -> seq_putc(m, c) Subsequent patches will simplify further.

2014-05-02tracing: Use rcu_dereference_sched() for trace event triggersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
As trace event triggers are now part of the mainline kernel, I added my trace event trigger tests to my test suite I run on all my kernels. Now these tests get run under different config options, and one of those options is CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, which checks under lockdep that the rcu locking primitives are being used correctly. This triggered the following splat: =============================== [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 3.15.0-rc2-test+ #11 Not tainted ------------------------------- kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c:80 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0 4 locks held by swapper/1/0: #0: ((&(&j_cdbs->work)->timer)){..-...}, at: [<ffffffff8104d2cc>] call_timer_fn+0x5/0x1be #1: (&(&pool->lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<ffffffff81059856>] __queue_work+0x140/0x283 #2: (&p->pi_lock){-.-.-.}, at: [<ffffffff8106e961>] try_to_wake_up+0x2e/0x1e8 #3: (&rq->lock){-.-.-.}, at: [<ffffffff8106ead3>] try_to_wake_up+0x1a0/0x1e8 stack backtrace: CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 3.15.0-rc2-test+ #11 Hardware name: /DG965MQ, BIOS MQ96510J.86A.0372.2006.0605.1717 06/05/2006 0000000000000001 ffff88007e083b98 ffffffff819f53a5 0000000000000006 ffff88007b0942c0 ffff88007e083bc8 ffffffff81081307 ffff88007ad96d20 0000000000000000 ffff88007af2d840 ffff88007b2e701c ffff88007e083c18 Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff819f53a5>] dump_stack+0x4f/0x7c [<ffffffff81081307>] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x107/0x110 [<ffffffff810ee51c>] event_triggers_call+0x99/0x108 [<ffffffff810e8174>] ftrace_event_buffer_commit+0x42/0xa4 [<ffffffff8106aadc>] ftrace_raw_event_sched_wakeup_template+0x71/0x7c [<ffffffff8106bcbf>] ttwu_do_wakeup+0x7f/0xff [<ffffffff8106bd9b>] ttwu_do_activate.constprop.126+0x5c/0x61 [<ffffffff8106eadf>] try_to_wake_up+0x1ac/0x1e8 [<ffffffff8106eb77>] wake_up_process+0x36/0x3b [<ffffffff810575cc>] wake_up_worker+0x24/0x26 [<ffffffff810578bc>] insert_work+0x5c/0x65 [<ffffffff81059982>] __queue_work+0x26c/0x283 [<ffffffff81059999>] ? __queue_work+0x283/0x283 [<ffffffff810599b7>] delayed_work_timer_fn+0x1e/0x20 [<ffffffff8104d3a6>] call_timer_fn+0xdf/0x1be^M [<ffffffff8104d2cc>] ? call_timer_fn+0x5/0x1be [<ffffffff81059999>] ? __queue_work+0x283/0x283 [<ffffffff8104d823>] run_timer_softirq+0x1a4/0x22f^M [<ffffffff8104696d>] __do_softirq+0x17b/0x31b^M [<ffffffff81046d03>] irq_exit+0x42/0x97 [<ffffffff81a08db6>] smp_apic_timer_interrupt+0x37/0x44 [<ffffffff81a07a2f>] apic_timer_interrupt+0x6f/0x80 <EOI> [<ffffffff8100a5d8>] ? default_idle+0x21/0x32 [<ffffffff8100a5d6>] ? default_idle+0x1f/0x32 [<ffffffff8100ac10>] arch_cpu_idle+0xf/0x11 [<ffffffff8107b3a4>] cpu_startup_entry+0x1a3/0x213 [<ffffffff8102a23c>] start_secondary+0x212/0x219 The cause is that the triggers are protected by rcu_read_lock_sched() but the data is dereferenced with rcu_dereference() which expects it to be protected with rcu_read_lock().

2014-04-08tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepointsMathieu Desnoyers
Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer rather than tracepoint name. This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux size. From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated tracepoint is unloaded. text data bss dec hex filename 10443444 4282528 10391552 25117524 17f4354 vmlinux.orig 10434930 4282848 10391552 25109330 17f2352 vmlinux Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1396992381-23785-2-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com CC: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> CC: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> CC: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> CC: Frank Ch.

2014-01-09tracing: Show available event triggers when no trigger is setSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Currently there's no way to know what triggers exist on a kernel without looking at the source of the kernel or randomly trying out triggers. Instead of creating another file in the debugfs system, simply show what available triggers are there when cat'ing the trigger file when it has no events: [root /sys/kernel/debug/tracing]# cat events/sched/sched_switch/trigger # Available triggers: # traceon traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event This stays consistent with other debugfs files where meta data like this is always proceeded with a '#' at the start of the line so that tools can strip these out.

2014-01-02tracing: Add generic tracing_lseek() functionSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Trace event triggers added a lseek that uses the ftrace_filter_lseek() function. Unfortunately, when function tracing is not configured in that function is not defined and the kernel fails to build. This is the second time that function was added to a file ops and it broke the build due to requiring special config dependencies. Make a generic tracing_lseek() that all the tracing utilities may use. Also, modify the old ftrace_filter_lseek() to return 0 instead of 1 on WRONLY. Not sure why it was a 1 as that does not make sense. This also changes the old tracing_seek() to modify the file pos pointer on WRONLY as well.

2013-12-21tracing: 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 in those cases - e.g. for ftrace_raw_event_calls, if a trigger has a filter associated with it, the trigger invocation now needs to happen after the { assign; } part of the call, in order for the trigger condition to be tested. There's still a SOFT_DISABLED-only check at the top of e.g. the ftrace_raw_events 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(). To simplify the above and make it more efficient, the TRIGGER_COND bit is introduced, which is set only if a soft-disabled trigger needs to use the log record for filter testing or needs to wait until the current log record is closed. 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.

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.

Add 'snapshot' event_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 tracing_alloc_snapshot() function - the existing tracing_snapshot_alloc() function is a special version of tracing_snapshot() that also does the snapshot allocation - the snapshot triggers would like to be able to do just the allocation but not take a snapshot; the existing tracing_snapshot_alloc() in turn now also calls tracing_alloc_snapshot() underneath to do that allocation.

2013-12-20tracing: Add 'traceon' and 'traceoff' event trigger commandsTom Zanussi
Add 'traceon' and 'traceoff' event_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.

The above commands will will turn tracing on or off whenever someevent is hit, but only N times. 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. event_trigger_callback() is a general-purpose event_command func() implementation that orchestrates command parsing and registration for most normal commands. Most event commands will use these, but some will override and possibly reuse them. The event_trigger_init(), event_trigger_free(), and event_trigger_print() functions are meant to be common implementations of the event_trigger_ops init(), free(), and print() ops, respectively. Most trigger_ops implementations will use these, but some will override and possibly reuse them.

2013-12-20tracing: 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_type, 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. This also moves event_file_data() into trace.h so it can be used outside of trace_events.c.
