| | * | | | | ftrace: trace different functions with a different tracerSteven Rostedt2009-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: new feature Currently, the function tracer only gives you an ability to hook a tracer to all functions being traced. The dynamic function trace allows you to pick and choose which of those functions will be traced, but all functions being traced will call all tracers that registered with the function tracer. This patch adds a new feature that allows a tracer to hook to specific functions, even when all functions are being traced. It allows for different functions to call different tracer hooks. The way this is accomplished is by a special function that will hook to the function tracer and will set up a hash table knowing which tracer hook to call with which function. This is the most general and easiest method to accomplish this. Later, an arch may choose to supply their own method in changing the mcount call of a function to call a different tracer. But that will be an exercise for the future. To register a function: struct ftrace_hook_ops { void (*func)(unsigned long ip, unsigned long parent_ip, void **data); int (*callback)(unsigned long ip, void **data); void (*free)(void **data); }; int register_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops, void *data); glob is a simple glob to search for the functions to hook. ops is a pointer to the operations (listed below) data is the default data to be passed to the hook functions when traced ops: func is the hook function to call when the functions are traced callback is a callback function that is called when setting up the hash. That is, if the tracer needs to do something special for each function, that is being traced, and wants to give each function its own data. The address of the entry data is passed to this callback, so that the callback may wish to update the entry to whatever it would like. free is a callback for when the entry is freed. In case the tracer allocated any data, it is give the chance to free it. To unregister we have three functions: void unregister_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops, void *data) This will unregister all hooks that match glob, point to ops, and have its data matching data. (note, if glob is NULL, blank or '*', all functions will be tested). void unregister_ftrace_function_hook_func(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops) This will unregister all functions matching glob that has an entry pointing to ops. void unregister_ftrace_function_hook_all(char *glob) This simply unregisters all funcs.

| | * | | | | ftrace: consolidate mutexesSteven Rostedt2009-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: clean up Now that ftrace_lock is a mutex, there is no reason to have three different mutexes protecting similar data. All the mutex paths are not in hot paths, so having a mutex to cover more data is not a problem. This patch removes the ftrace_sysctl_lock and ftrace_start_lock and uses the ftrace_lock to protect the locations that were protected by these locks. By doing so, this change also removes some of the lock nesting that was taking place. There are still more mutexes in ftrace.c that can probably be consolidated, but they can be dealt with later. We need to be careful about the way the locks are nested, and by consolidating, we can cause a recursive deadlock. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| | * | | | | ftrace: convert ftrace_lock from a spinlock to mutexSteven Rostedt2009-02-16

Now all the calls are in non-atomic context. There is no reason to keep the ftrace_lock as a spinlock. This patch converts it to a mutex. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| | * | | | | ftrace: add command interface for function selectionSteven Rostedt2009-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow for other tracers to add their own commands for function selection. This interface gives a trace the ability to name a command for function selection. Right now it is pretty limited in what it offers, but this is a building step for more features. The :mod: command is converted to this interface and also serves as a template for other implementations. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| | * | | | | ftrace: enable filtering only when a function is filtered onSteven Rostedt2009-02-16

The filter is enabled when a function name is echoed into the set_ftrace_filter file. But if the name has a typo and the function is not found, the filter is enabled, but no function is listed. This makes a confusing situation where set_ftrace_filter is empty but no functions ever get enabled for tracing. For example: # cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### # echo bad_name > set_ftrace_filter # cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # echo function > current_tracer # cat trace # tracer: nop # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | This patch changes that to only enable filtering if a function is set to be filtered on. Now, the filter is not enabled if a bad name is echoed into set_ftrace_filter. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| | * | | | | ftrace: add module command function filter selectionSteven Rostedt2009-02-16

Although this patch implements the 'command' format, only the 'mod' command is supported. More commands to follow. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| | * | | | | ftrace: break up ftrace_match_records into smaller componentsSteven Rostedt2009-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: clean up ftrace_match_records does a lot of things that other features can use. This patch breaks up ftrace_match_records and pulls out ftrace_setup_glob and ftrace_match_record. ftrace_setup_glob prepares a simple glob expression for use with ftrace_match_record. ftrace_match_record compares a single record with a glob type. Breaking this up will allow for more features to run on individual records. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| | * | | | | ftrace: rename ftrace_match to ftrace_match_recordsSteven Rostedt2009-02-16

What it really does is search all records and matches the records with the given string, and either sets or unsets the functions to be traced depending on if the parameter 'enable' is set or not. This allows us to make another function called ftrace_match that can be used to test a single record. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

One to iterate over the pages and the other to iterate over the records within the page. There are several duplications of these loops in ftrace.c. This patch creates the macros do_for_each_ftrace_rec and while_for_each_ftrace_rec to handle this logic, and removes the duplicate code. While making this change, I also discovered and fixed a small bug that one of the iterations should exit the loop after it found the record it was searching for. This used a break when it should have used a goto, since there were two loops it needed to break out from. No real harm was done by this bug since it would only continue to search the other records, and the code was in a slow path anyway. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

But when it is empty, it will trace all functions. This can be a bit confusing. This patch makes set_ftrace_filter show: #### all functions enabled #### When all functions will be traced, and we do not filter only a select few. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can check the next entry. There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while we don't consume it. This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing core to not consume the current entry after printing it. We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check the next one. Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

When a writer crosses a page, it grabs a per cpu spinlock to protect against a reader. The spinlocks taken by a writer are not to protect against other writers, since a writer can only write to its own per cpu buffer. The spinlocks protect against readers that can touch any cpu buffer. The writers are made to be reentrant with the spinlocks disabling interrupts. The problem arises when an NMI writes to the buffer, and that write crosses a page boundary. If it grabs a spinlock, it can be racing with another writer (since disabling interrupts does not protect against NMIs) or with a reader on the same CPU. Luckily, most of the users are not reentrant and protects against this issue. But if a user of the ring buffer becomes reentrant (which is what the ring buffers do allow), if the NMI also writes to the ring buffer then we risk the chance of a deadlock. This patch moves the ftrace_nmi_enter called by nmi_enter() to the ring buffer code. It replaces the current ftrace_nmi_enter that is used by arch specific code to arch_ftrace_nmi_enter and updates the Kconfig to handle it. When an NMI is called, it will set a per cpu variable in the ring buffer code and will clear it when the NMI exits. If a write to the ring buffer crosses page boundaries inside an NMI, a trylock is used on the spin lock instead. If the spinlock fails to be acquired, then the entry is discarded. This bug appeared in the ftrace work in the RT tree, where event tracing is reentrant. This workaround solved the deadlocks that appeared there. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu). Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed. This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu, unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to retrieve the cpu identifier. This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes all the users that should have been using iter->cpu. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
