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 Zijlstra1-1/+0
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. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

2009-08-27tracing: Add kprobe-based event tracerMasami Hiramatsu1-0/+1
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 Zefan1-1/+4
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 Rostedt1-0/+1
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 Zanussi1-0/+1
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 Weisbecker1-1/+1
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... V2: - Rebase against last changes - Fix mispell on the changelog V3: - Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> LKML-Reference: <1236356510-8381-5-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-03-06tracing: infrastructure for supporting binary recordLai Jiangshan1-0/+1
Impact: save on memory for tracing Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry, struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary event. 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. This infrastructure is for this purpose.

2009-03-05tracing: add format files for ftrace default entriesSteven Rostedt1-0/+1
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>

2009-01-14tracing: add a new workqueue tracerFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+1
Impact: new tracer The workqueue tracer provides some statistical informations about each cpu workqueue thread such as the number of the works inserted and executed since their creation. It can help to evaluate the amount of work each of them have to perform. For example it can help a developer to decide whether he should choose a per cpu workqueue instead of a singlethreaded one. It only traces statistical informations for now but it will probably later provide event tracing too. Such a tracer could help too, and be improved, to help rt priority sorted workqueue development. To have a snapshot of the workqueues state at any time, just do cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/workqueues Ie: 1 125 125 reiserfs/1 1 0 0 scsi_tgtd/1 1 0 0 aio/1 1 0 0 ata/1 1 114 114 kblockd/1 1 0 0 kintegrityd/1 1 2147 2147 events/1 0 0 0 kpsmoused 0 105 105 reiserfs/0 0 0 0 scsi_tgtd/0 0 0 0 aio/0 0 0 0 ata_aux 0 0 0 ata/0 0 0 0 cqueue 0 0 0 kacpi_notify 0 0 0 kacpid 0 149 149 kblockd/0 0 0 0 kintegrityd/0 0 1000 1000 khelper 0 2270 2270 events/0 Changes in V2: _ Drop the static array based on NR_CPU and dynamically allocate the stat array with num_possible_cpus() and other cpu mask facilities.... _ Trace workqueue insertion at a bit lower level (insert_work instead of queue_work) to handle even the workqueue barriers.

On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not break the column with strings.... About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't be difficult to find. I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common directory.

2008-12-29tracing/ftrace: provide the base infrastructure for histogram tracingFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+1
Impact: extend the tracing API The goal of this patch is to normalize and make more easy the implementation of statistical (histogram) tracing. It implements a trace_stat file into the /debugfs/tracing directory where one can print a one-shot output of statistics/histogram entries. A tracer has to provide two basic iterator callbacks: stat_start() => the first entry stat_next(prev, idx) => the next one. Note that it is adapted for arrays or hash tables or lists.... since it provides a pointer to the previous entry and the current index of the iterator. These two callbacks are called to get a snapshot of the statistics at each opening of the trace_stat file because. The values are so updated between two "cat trace_stat". And the tracer is free to lock its datas during the iteration to keep consistent values. Since it is almost always interesting to sort statisticals values to address the problems by priority, this infrastructure provides a "sorting" of the stat entries too if desired. A tracer has just to provide a stat_cmp callback to compare two entries and the stat tracing infrastructure will build a sorted list of the given entries. A last callback, called stat_headers, can be implemented by a tracer to output headers on its trace. If one of these callbacks is changed on runtime, it just have to signal it to the stat tracing API by calling the init_tracer_stat() helper. Changes in V2: - Fix a memory leak if the user opens multiple times the trace_stat file without closing it. Now we always free our list before rebuilding it.

Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up the following ideas from: 1) Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values. 2) Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers. 3) Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely annotations from vsyscall_64.c. Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar for their feed back on this patch.

Each arch that support ftrace return should enable it. - ftrace_return_stub becomes ftrace_stub. - CONFIG_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER depends now on CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER - Return traces printing can be used for other tracers on trace.c - Adapt to the new tracing API (no more ctrl_update callback) - Correct the check of "disabled" during insertion. - Minor changes...

2008-10-20ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACERSteven Rostedt1-3/+3
Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same. This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.
