| | | * | | | ftrace: add ftrace_graph_stop()Steven Rostedt2008-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: new ftrace_graph_stop function While developing more features of function graph, I hit a bug that caused the WARN_ON to trigger in the prepare_ftrace_return function. Well, it was hard for me to find out that was happening because the bug would not print, it would just cause a hard lockup or reboot. The reason is that it is not safe to call printk from this function. Looking further, I also found that it calls unregister_ftrace_graph, which grabs a mutex and calls kstop machine. This would definitely lock the box up if it were to trigger. This patch adds a fast and safe ftrace_graph_stop() which will stop the function tracer. Then it is safe to call the WARN ON.

For every page read, one must also be given to allow for a "swap" of the pages. rpage = ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(buffer); if (!rpage) goto err; ret = ring_buffer_read_page(buffer, &rpage, cpu, full); if (!ret) goto empty; process_page(rpage); ring_buffer_free_read_page(rpage); The caller of these functions must handle any waits that are needed to wait for new data. The ring_buffer_read_page will simply return 0 if there is no data, or if "full" is set and the writer is still on the current page.

| | | * | | | tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64Frederic Weisbecker2008-12-02

Both static and dynamic tracing are supported. This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion. That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these function for other archs ports. Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer). So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags). A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and, after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I hadn't problems with it.

It is followed by a virtual line based on a "|" character. - Functions calls are now the last column on the right. This way, we haven't dynamic column (which flow is harder to follow) on its right. - CPU and Overhead have their own option flag. They are default-on but you can disable them easily: echo nofuncgraph-cpu > trace_options echo nofuncgraph-overhead > trace_options TODO: _ Refactoring of the thread switch output. _ Give a default-off option to output the thread and its pid on each row. _ Provide headers _ ....

Use also visual clues: "-" on entry call (no duration to output) and "+" on return (duration output). The name of the tracer has been fixed as well: function-branch becomes function_branch.

For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack. The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch. Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at some locations. We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this way of processing is much more simpler. 2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function. If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth. I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are. I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part). Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the high part of eax could contain junk values... Here is an example of trace: sys_read() { fget_light() { } 526 vfs_read() { rw_verify_area() { security_file_permission() { cap_file_permission() { } 519 } 1564 } 2640 do_sync_read() { pipe_read() { __might_sleep() { } 511 pipe_wait() { prepare_to_wait() { } 760 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 504 } 1587 clear_buddies() { } 512 add_cfs_task_weight() { } 519 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 5602 dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 496 } 1631 clear_buddies() { } 496 update_min_vruntime() { } 527 } 4580 hrtick_update() { hrtick_start_fair() { } 488 } 1489 } 13700 } 14949 } 16016 msecs_to_jiffies() { } 496 put_prev_task_fair() { } 504 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_rt() { } 496 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_idle() { } 489 ------------8<---------- thread 4 ------------8<---------- finish_task_switch() { } 1203 do_softirq() { __do_softirq() { __local_bh_disable() { } 669 rcu_process_callbacks() { __rcu_process_callbacks() { cpu_quiet() { rcu_start_batch() { } 503 } 1647 } 3128 __rcu_process_callbacks() { } 542 } 5362 _local_bh_enable() { } 587 } 8880 } 9986 kthread_should_stop() { } 669 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { calc_delta_mine() { } 511 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 2813 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses to the stack. So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current only when the tracer is activated. Typical scheme when tracer is activated: - allocate a return stack for each task in global list. - fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task - exit: free return stack of current - idle init: same as fork I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

They should never change. But the compiler complains when they are passed into the debugfs_create_file as a data pointer, because the function discards the qualifier. This patch typecasts the parameter to debugfs_create_file back to a void pointer. To remind the callbacks that they are pointing to a constant value, I also modified the callback local pointers to be const struct ftrace_pointer * as well.

But we have no way to implement custom flags handling for a specific tracer. This patch proposes a new callback for the struct tracer which called set_flag and a structure that represents a 32 bits variable flag. A tracer can implement a struct tracer_flags on which it puts the initial value of the flag integer. Than it can place a range of flags with their name and their flag mask on the flag integer. The structure that implement a single flag is called struct tracer_opt. These custom flags will be available through the trace_options file like the general tracing flags. Changing their value is done like the other general flags. For example if you have a flag that calls "foo", you can activate it by writing "foo" or "nofoo" on trace_options. Note that the set_flag callback is optional and is only needed if you want the flags changing to be signaled to your tracer and let it to accept or refuse their assignment.

After all its just that they get called from non-preemptible context: kernel_init() will execute all initcalls, however the first line in kernel_init() is lock_kernel(), which causes the preempt_count to be increased. Any later calls to add_preempt_count() (especially those from the selftests) will therefore not result in a call to trace_preempt_off() since the check below in add_preempt_count() will be false: if (preempt_count() == val) trace_preempt_off(CALLER_ADDR0, get_parent_ip(CALLER_ADDR1)); Hence the trace buffer will be empty. Fix this by releasing the BKL during the self-tests.
