2017-10-06FROMLIST: tracing: Add support for preempt and irq enable/disable eventsJoel Fernandes
Preempt and irq trace events can be used for tracing the start and end of an atomic section which can be used by a trace viewer like systrace to graphically view the start and end of an atomic section and correlate them with latencies and scheduling issues. This also serves as a prelude to using synthetic events or probes to rewrite the preempt and irqsoff tracers, along with numerous benefits of using trace events features for these events.

2016-09-30Makefile: Mute warning for __builtin_return_address(>0) for tracing onlySteven Rostedt
commit 377ccbb483738f84400ddf5840c7dd8825716985 upstream. With the latest gcc compilers, they give a warning if __builtin_return_address() parameter is greater than 0. That is because if it is used by a function called by a top level function (or in the case of the kernel, by assembly), it can try to access stack frames outside the stack and crash the system. The tracing system uses __builtin_return_address() of up to 2! But it is well aware of the dangers that it may have, and has even added precautions to protect against it (see the thunk code in arch/x86/entry/thunk*.S) Linus originally added KBUILD_CFLAGS that would suppress the warning for the entire kernel, as simply adding KBUILD_CFLAGS to the tracing directory wouldn't work. The tracing directory plays a bit with the CFLAGS and requires a little more logic. This adds that special logic to only suppress the warning for the tracing directory. If it is used anywhere else outside of tracing, the warning will still be triggered.

2015-04-02bpf: Fix the build on BPF_SYSCALL=y && !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, make it more ↵Ingo Molnar
configurable So bpf_tracing.o depends on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL - but that's not its only dependency, it also depends on the tracing infrastructure and on kprobes, without which it will fail to build with: In file included from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:14:0: kernel/trace/trace.h: In function ‘trace_test_and_set_recursion’: kernel/trace/trace.h:491:28: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘trace_recursion’ unsigned int val = current->trace_recursion; [...] It took quite some time to trigger this build failure, because right now BPF_SYSCALL is very obscure, depends on CONFIG_EXPERT. So also make BPF_SYSCALL more configurable, not just under CONFIG_EXPERT. If BPF_SYSCALL, tracing and kprobes are enabled then enable the bpf_tracing gateway as well. We might want to make this an interactive option later on, although I'd not complicate it unnecessarily: enabling BPF_SYSCALL is enough of an indicator that the user wants BPF support.

2015-04-02tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobesAlexei Starovoitov
BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break out of their sandbox. The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall: struct perf_event_attr attr = { .type = PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT, .config = event_id, ... }; event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...); ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd); 'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program previously loaded. 'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created. Closing 'event_fd': close(event_fd); ... automatically detaches BPF program from it. BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to: - lookup/update/delete elements in maps - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any kernel data structures BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store kprobe event into the ring buffer. Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI, so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

2014-11-19seq_buf: Move the seq_buf code to lib/Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The seq_buf functions are rather useful outside of tracing. Instead of having it be dependent on CONFIG_TRACING, move the code into lib/ and allow other users to have access to it even when tracing is not configured. The seq_buf utility is similar to the seq_file utility, but instead of writing sending data back up to userland, it writes it into a buffer defined at seq_buf_init(). This allows us to send a descriptor around that writes printf() formatted strings into it that can be retrieved later. It is currently used by the tracing facility for such things like trace events to convert its binary saved data in the ring buffer into an ASCII human readable context to be displayed in /sys/kernel/debug/trace. It can also be used for doing NMI prints safely from NMI context into the seq_buf and retrieved later and dumped to printk() safely. Doing printk() from an NMI context is dangerous because an NMI can preempt a current printk() and deadlock on it.

2014-05-29tracing: Add tracepoint benchmark tracepointSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
In order to help benchmark the time tracepoints take, a new config option is added called CONFIG_TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK. When this option is set a tracepoint is created called "benchmark:benchmark_event". When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint. The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first write which is not added to the rest of the calculations. As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already. An example of the output: START first=3672 [COLD CACHED] last=632 first=3672 max=632 min=632 avg=316 std=446 std^2=199712 last=278 first=3672 max=632 min=278 avg=303 std=316 std^2=100337 last=277 first=3672 max=632 min=277 avg=296 std=258 std^2=67064 last=273 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=292 std=224 std^2=50411 last=273 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=288 std=200 std^2=40389 last=281 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=287 std=183 std^2=33666 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
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.

The sysprof ftrace plugin doesn't seem to be seriously used somewhere.

2010-03-26x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace codePeter Zijlstra
Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it.

2009-08-27tracing: Add kprobe-based event tracerMasami Hiramatsu
Add kprobes-based event tracer on ftrace. This tracer is similar to the events tracer which is based on Tracepoint infrastructure. Instead of Tracepoint, this tracer is based on kprobes (kprobe and kretprobe). It probes anywhere where kprobes can probe(this means, all functions body except for __kprobes functions). Similar to the events tracer, this tracer doesn't need to be activated via current_tracer, instead of that, just set probe points via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events. And you can set filters on each probe events via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/<EVENT>/filter. This tracer supports following probe arguments for each probe. %REG : Fetch register REG sN : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0) sa : Fetch stack address. @ADDR : Fetch memory at ADDR (ADDR should be in kernel) @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol) aN : Fetch function argument. (N >= 0) rv : Fetch return value. ra : Fetch return address. +|-offs(FETCHARG) : fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address. See Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt in the next patch for details. Changes from v13: - Support 'sa' for stack address. - Use call->data instead of container_of() macro.

2009-06-09tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()Li Zefan
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds these new capabilities to this tracepoint: - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing - binary tracing without printf overhead - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions ... Cons: - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events. no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL. no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL. This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue. But this may change in the future. - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print. While blktrace do the convertion just before output. Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue. - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry. The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array(). I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing: dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice) 1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s 2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s 3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using those trace events vs blktrace. And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace: # ls -l -h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out Following are some comparisons between TRACE_EVENT and blktrace: plug: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: block_plug: [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: 8,0 P N [kjournald] unplug_io: kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052973: block_unplug_io: [kblockd/0] 1 kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052974: 8,0 U N [kblockd/0] 1 remap: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085042: block_remap: 8,0 W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 kjournald-480 [000] 303.085043: 8,0 A W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 bio_backmerge: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: block_bio_backmerge: 8,0 W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: 8,0 M W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] getrq: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084974: block_getrq: 8,0 W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084975: 8,0 G W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953770: 8,0 G N [bash] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953773: block_getrq: 0,0 N 0 + 0 [bash] rq_complete: konsole-2065 [001] 300.053184: block_rq_complete: 8,0 W () 103669040 + 16 [0] konsole-2065 [001] 300.053191: 8,0 C W 103669040 + 16 [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953811: 8,0 C N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953813: block_rq_complete: 0,0 N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) 0 + 0 [0] rq_insert: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084985: block_rq_insert: 8,0 W 0 () 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084986: 8,0 I W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] Changelog from v2 -> v3: - use the newly introduced __dynamic_array().

2009-05-06ring-buffer: add benchmark and testerSteven Rostedt
This patch adds code that can benchmark the ring buffer as well as test it. This code can be compiled into the kernel (not recommended) or as a module. A separate ring buffer is used to not interfer with other users, like ftrace. It creates a producer and a consumer (option to disable creation of the consumer) and will run for 10 seconds, then sleep for 10 seconds and then repeat. While running, the producer will write 10 byte loads into the ring buffer with just putting in the current CPU number. The reader will continually try to read the buffer. The reader will alternate from reading the buffer via event by event, or by full pages. The output is a pr_info, thus it will fill up the syslogs. Starting ring buffer hammer End ring buffer hammer Time: 9000349 (usecs) Overruns: 12578640 Read: 5358440 (by events) Entries: 0 Total: 17937080 Missed: 0 Hit: 17937080 Entries per millisec: 1993 501 ns per entry Sleeping for 10 secs Starting ring buffer hammer End ring buffer hammer Time: 9936350 (usecs) Overruns: 0 Read: 28146644 (by pages) Entries: 74 Total: 28146718 Missed: 0 Hit: 28146718 Entries per millisec: 2832 353 ns per entry Sleeping for 10 secs Time: is the time the test ran Overruns: the number of events that were overwritten and not read Read: the number of events read (either by pages or events) Entries: the number of entries left in the buffer (the by pages will only read full pages) Total: Entries + Read + Overruns Missed: the number of entries that failed to write Hit: the number of entries that were written The above example shows that it takes ~353 nanosecs per entry when there is a reader, reading by pages (and no overruns) The event by event reader slowed the producer down to 501 nanosecs.

So CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER can be used to turn on or off the generated events (what I think of as the 'event tracer'), while CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING turns on or off the base event tracing support used by both the event tracer and the other things such as bprint that can't be configured out.

2009-03-22tracing: add per-event filteringTom Zanussi
This patch adds per-event filtering to the event tracing subsystem. It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each event directory. This file can be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the current set of filters set for that event. Basically, any field listed in the 'format' file for an event can be filtered on (including strings, but not yet other array types) using either matching ('==') or non-matching ('!=') 'predicates'. A 'predicate' can be either a single expression: # echo pid != 0 > filter # cat filter pid != 0 or a compound expression of up to 8 sub-expressions combined using '&&' or '||': # echo comm == Xorg > filter # echo "&& sig != 29" > filter # cat filter comm == Xorg && sig != 29 Only events having field values matching an expression will be available in the trace output; non-matching events are discarded. Note that a compound expression is built up by echoing each sub-expression separately - it's not the most efficient way to do things, but it keeps the parser simple and assumes that compound expressions will be relatively uncommon. In any case, a subsequent patch introducing a way to set filters for entire subsystems should mitigate any need to do this for lots of events. Setting a filter without an '&&' or '||' clears the previous filter completely and sets the filter to the new expression: # cat filter comm == Xorg && sig != 29 # echo comm != Xorg # cat filter comm != Xorg To clear a filter, echo 0 to the filter file: # echo 0 > filter # cat filter none The limit of 8 predicates for a compound expression is arbitrary - for efficiency, it's implemented as an array of pointers to predicates, and 8 seemed more than enough for any filter...

2009-03-06tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of ↵Frederic Weisbecker
trace_bprintk() 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...

2009-03-06tracing: infrastructure for supporting binary recordLai Jiangshan

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.

Impact: allow user apps to read binary format of basic ftrace entries Currently, only defined raw events export their formats so a binary reader can parse them. There's no reason that the default ftrace entries can't export their formats. This patch adds a subsystem called "ftrace" in the events directory that includes the ftrace entries for basic ftrace recorded items. These only have three files in the events directory: type : printf available_types : printf format : format for the event entry For example: # cat /debug/tracing/events/ftrace/wakeup/format name: wakeup ID: 3 format: field:unsigned char type; offset:0; size:1; field:unsigned char flags; offset:1; size:1; field:unsigned char preempt_count; offset:2; size:1; field:int pid; offset:4; size:4; field:int tgid; offset:8; size:4; field:unsigned int prev_pid; offset:12; size:4; field:unsigned char prev_prio; offset:16; size:1; field:unsigned char prev_state; offset:17; size:1; field:unsigned int next_pid; offset:20; size:4; field:unsigned char next_prio; offset:24; size:1; field:unsigned char next_state; offset:25; size:1; field:unsigned int next_cpu; offset:28; size:4; print fmt: "%u:%u:%u ==+ %u:%u:%u [%03u]" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-02-26tracing: implement trace_clock_*() APIsIngo Molnar
Impact: implement new tracing timestamp APIs Add three trace clock variants, with differing scalability/precision tradeoffs: - local: CPU-local trace clock - medium: scalable global clock with some jitter - global: globally monotonic, serialized clock Make the ring-buffer use the local trace clock internally.
