If the kernel command line declares a tracer "ftrace=sometracer" and that tracer is either not defined or is enabled after irqsoff, then the irqs off selftest will fail with the following error: Testing tracer irqsoff: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at /home/rostedt/work/autotest/nobackup/linux-test.git/kernel/trace/tra ce.c:713 update_max_tr_single+0xfa/0x11b() Hardware name: Modules linked in: Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.38-rc8-test #1 Call Trace: [<c0441d9d>] ? warn_slowpath_common+0x65/0x7a [<c049adb2>] ? update_max_tr_single+0xfa/0x11b [<c0441dc1>] ? warn_slowpath_null+0xf/0x13 [<c049adb2>] ? update_max_tr_single+0xfa/0x11b [<c049e454>] ? stop_critical_timing+0x154/0x204 [<c049b54b>] ? trace_selftest_startup_irqsoff+0x5b/0xc1 [<c049b54b>] ? trace_selftest_startup_irqsoff+0x5b/0xc1 [<c049b54b>] ? trace_selftest_startup_irqsoff+0x5b/0xc1 [<c049e529>] ? time_hardirqs_on+0x25/0x28 [<c0468bca>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x18/0x12f [<c0468cec>] ? trace_hardirqs_on+0xb/0xd [<c049b54b>] ? trace_selftest_startup_irqsoff+0x5b/0xc1 [<c049b6b8>] ? register_tracer+0xf8/0x1a3 [<c14e93fe>] ? init_irqsoff_tracer+0xd/0x11 [<c040115e>] ? do_one_initcall+0x71/0x121 [<c14e93f1>] ? init_irqsoff_tracer+0x0/0x11 [<c14ce3a9>] ? kernel_init+0x13a/0x1b6 [<c14ce26f>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x1b6 [<c0403842>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x6/0x10 ---[ end trace e93713a9d40cd06c ]--- .. no entries found ..FAILED! What happens is the "ftrace=..." will expand the ring buffer to its default size (from its minimum size) but it will not expand the max ring buffer (the ring buffer to store maximum latencies). When the irqsoff test runs, it will call the ring buffer swap routine that checks if the max ring buffer is the same size as the normal ring buffer, and will fail if it is not. This causes the test to fail. The solution is to expand the max ring buffer before running the self test if the max ring buffer is used by that tracer and the normal ring buffer is expanded. The max ring buffer should be shrunk again after the test is done to save space. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2011-03-09tracing: Add an 'overwrite' trace_option.David Sharp3-6/+23
Add an "overwrite" trace_option for ftrace to control whether the buffer should be overwritten on overflow or not. The default remains to overwrite old events when the buffer is full. This patch adds the option to instead discard newest events when the buffer is full. This is useful to get a snapshot of traces just after enabling traces. Dropping the current event is also a simpler code path.

2011-02-11ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplugSteven Rostedt1-7/+45
When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks. All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new tasks. On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that existed when the cpu went down. ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even though one already existed for it. The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle(). Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task, which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu ret_stack.

For example, symbols on PPC64 start with a period and the generic code will fail to match them.

2011-02-07tracing/syscalls: Don't add events for unmapped syscallsIan Munsie1-0/+8
FTRACE_SYSCALLS would create events for each and every system call, even if it had failed to map the system call's name with it's number. This resulted in a number of events being created that would not behave as expected. This could happen, for example, on architectures who's symbol names are unusual and will not match the system call name. It could also happen with system calls which were mapped to sys_ni_syscall. This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1. If the system call name from the metadata is not successfully mapped to a system call number during boot, than the event initialisation routine will now return an error, preventing the event from being created.

Because the filters are processed first and then activated (added to the call), we no longer need to worry about the preds of the filter in __alloc_preds() being used. As the filter that is allocating preds is not activated yet. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-02-07tracing/filter: Swap entire filter of eventsSteven Rostedt1-105/+146
When creating a new filter, instead of allocating the filter to the event call first and then processing the filter, it is easier to process a temporary filter and then just swap it with the call filter. By doing this, it simplifies the code. A filter is allocated and processed, when it is done, it is swapped with the call filter, synchronize_sched() is called to make sure all callers are done with the old filter (filters are called with premption disabled), and then the old filter is freed.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Increase the max preds to 2^14Steven Rostedt1-1/+8
Now that the filter logic does not require to save the pred results on the stack, we can increase the max number of preds we allow. As the preds are index by a short value, and we use the MSBs as flags we can increase the max preds to 2^14 (16384) which should be way more than enough.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Move MAX_FILTER_PRED to local tracing directorySteven Rostedt1-0/+2
The MAX_FILTER_PRED is only needed by the kernel/trace/*.c files. Move it to kernel/trace/trace.h. Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-02-07tracing/filter: Optimize filter by folding the treeSteven Rostedt2-10/+235
There are many cases that a filter will contain multiple ORs or ANDs together near the leafs. Walking up and down the tree to get to the next compare can be a waste. If there are several ORs or ANDs together, fold them into a single pred and allocate an array of the conditions that they check. This will speed up the filter by linearly walking an array and can still break out if a short circuit condition is met.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Check the created pred treeSteven Rostedt1-1/+71
Since the filter walks a tree to determine if a match is made or not, if the tree was incorrectly created, it could cause an infinite loop. Add a check to walk the entire tree before assigning it as a filter to make sure the tree is correct. Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-02-07tracing/filter: Optimize short ciruit checkSteven Rostedt1-3/+9
The test if we should break out early for OR and AND operations can be optimized by comparing the current result with (pred->op == OP_OR) That is if the result is true and the op is an OP_OR, or if the result is false and the op is not an OP_OR (thus an OP_AND) we can break out early in either case. Otherwise we continue processing. Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-02-07tracing/filter: Use a tree instead of stack for filter_match_preds()Steven Rostedt2-46/+194
Currently the filter_match_preds() requires a stack to push and pop the preds to determine if the filter matches the record or not. This has two drawbacks: 1) It requires a stack to store state information. As this is done in fast paths we can't allocate the storage for this stack, and we can't use a global as it must be re-entrant. The stack is stored on the kernel stack and this greatly limits how many preds we may allow. 2) All conditions are calculated even when a short circuit exists. a || b will always calculate a and b even though a was determined to be true. Using a tree we can walk a constant structure that will save the state as we go. The algorithm is simply: pred = root; do { switch (move) { case MOVE_DOWN: if (OR or AND) { pred = left; continue; } if (pred == root) break; match = pred->fn(); pred = pred->parent; move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT; continue; case MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT: /* Only OR or AND can be a parent */ if (match && OR || !match && AND) { /* short circuit */ if (pred == root) break; pred = pred->parent; move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT; continue; } pred = pred->right; move = MOVE_DOWN; continue; case MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT: if (pred == root) break; pred = pred->parent; move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT; continue; } done = 1; } while (!done); This way there's no strict limit to how many preds we allow and it also will short circuit the logical operations when possible.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Allocate the preds in an arraySteven Rostedt2-23/+10
Currently we allocate an array of pointers to filter_preds, and then allocate a separate filter_pred for each item in the array. This adds slight overhead in the filters as it needs to derefernce twice to get to the op condition. Allocating the preds themselves in a single array removes a dereference as well as helps on the cache footprint.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Call synchronize_sched() just once for system filtersSteven Rostedt1-17/+63
By separating out the reseting of the filter->n_preds to zero from the reallocation of preds for the filter, we can reset groups of filters first, call synchronize_sched() just once, and then reallocate each of the filters in the system group.

2011-02-07tracing/filter: Dynamically allocate predsSteven Rostedt2-36/+110
For every filter that is made, we create predicates to hold every operation within the filter. We have a max of 32 predicates that we can hold. Currently, we allocate all 32 even if we only need to use one. Part of the reason we do this is that the filter can be used at any moment by any event. Fortunately, the filter is only used with preemption disabled. By reseting the count of preds used "n_preds" to zero, then performing a synchronize_sched(), we can safely free and reallocate a new array of preds.
