Impact: trace output cleanup/reordering

When an interrupt occurs and and the abstime option is selected:

  echo funcgraph-abstime > /debug/tracing/trace_options

then we observe broken traces:

30581.025422 |   0)   Xorg-4291    |   0.503 us    |      idle_cpu();
30581.025424 |   0)   Xorg-4291    |   2.576 us    |    }
30581.025424 |   0)   Xorg-4291    | + 75.771 us   |  }

30581.025426 |   0)   Xorg-4291    |   0.705 us    |      _spin_lock_irq();

With this patch, the interrupts output better adapts
to absolute time printing:

Impact: api and pipe waiting change

Currently, the waiting used in tracing_read_pipe() is done through a
100 msecs schedule_timeout() loop which periodically check if there
are traces on the buffer.

This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming
events.

This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except
for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be
already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader.

This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer.
If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for
trace_wait queue is attached.

When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets:

 function();

whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following:

 function() {
 }

This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files.
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.

This patch brings various bugfixes:

- Drop the first irrelevant task switch on the very beginning of a trace.

- Drop the OVERHEAD word from the headers, the DURATION word is sufficient
  and will not overlap other columns.

- Make the headers fit well their respective columns whatever the
  selected options.

Ie, default options:

 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |

   0.624 us    |                  native_pmd_val();

About features, one can now disable the duration (this will hide the
overhead too for convenient reasons and because on  doesn't need
overhead if it hasn't the duration):

 echo nofuncgraph-duration > trace_options

 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 #                FUNCTION CALLS
 #                |   |   |   |

           cap_vm_enough_memory() {
             __vm_enough_memory() {
               vm_acct_memory();
             }
           }
         }

And at last, an option to print the absolute time:

 //Restart from default options
 echo funcgraph-abstime > trace_options

 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 #      TIME       CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS

   261.339778 |   1)   0.752 us    |    _spin_unlock_irqrestore();
   261.339780 |   1)   0.857 us    |    _spin_unlock_irq();
   261.339782 |   1)               |    flush_to_ldisc() {
   261.339783 |   1)               |      tty_ldisc_ref() {
   261.339783 |   1)               |        tty_ldisc_try() {
   261.339784 |   1)   1.075 us    |          _spin_lock_irqsave();

   261.339788 |   1)   4.211 us    |        }
   261.339788 |   1)   5.662 us    |      }

The format is seconds.usecs.

I guess no one needs the nanosec precision here, the main goal is to have
an overview about the general timings of events, and to see the place when
the trace switches from one cpu to another.

ie:

   274.874760 |   1)   0.676 us    |      _spin_unlock();
   274.874762 |   1)   0.609 us    |      native_load_sp0();
   274.874763 |   1)   0.602 us    |      native_load_tls();
   274.878739 |   0)   0.722 us    |                  }
   274.878740 |   0)   0.714 us    |                  native_pmd_val();
   274.878741 |   0)   0.730 us    |                  native_pmd_val();

Here there is a 4000 usecs difference when we switch the cpu.

Handle the TRACE_PRINT entries from the function grapg tracer
and output them as a C comment just below the function that called
it, as if it was a comment inside this function.

Example with an ftrace_printk inside might_sleep() function:

void __might_sleep(char *file, int line)
{
	static unsigned long prev_jiffy;	/* ratelimiting */

	ftrace_printk("Hi I'm a comment in might_sleep() :-)");

A chunk of a resulting trace:

Impact: better trace output of duration for long calls

The old duration output didn't exceeded 9999.999 us to fit the column
and the nanosecs were always 3 numbers. As Ingo suggested, it's better
to have the whole microseconds elapsed time and shift the nanosecs precision
if needed to fit the maximum 7 numbers. And usec need more number, the case
should be rare and important enough to break a bit the column alignment to
show it.

So, depending of the duration value, we now have these patterns:

    u.nnn us
   uu.nnn us
  uuu.nnn us
 uuuu.nnn us
 uuuuu.nn us
 uuuuuu.n us

Impact: increase the visual qualities of the call-graph-tracer output

This patch applies various trace output formatting changes:

 - CPU is now a decimal number, followed by a parenthesis.

 - Overhead is now on the second column (gives a good visibility)

 - Cost is now on the third column, can't exceed 9999.99 us. 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.

Impact: enhance the output of the graph-tracer

This patch applies some ideas of Ingo Molnar and Steven Rostedt.

* Output leaf functions in one line with parenthesis, semicolon and duration
  output.

* Add a second column (after cpu) for an overhead sign.
  if duration > 100 us, "!"
  if duration > 10 us, "+"
  else " "

* Print output in us with remaining nanosec: u.n

* Print duration on the right end, following the indentation of the functions.
  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.

Here is an example of the new output:

Impact: enhancement for function graph tracer

When run on a SMP box, the function graph tracer is confusing because
it shows the different CPUS as changes in the trace.

This patch adds the annotation of 'CPU[###]' where ### is a three digit
number. The output will look similar to this:

CPU[001]     dput() {
CPU[000] } 726
CPU[001]     } 487
CPU[000] do_softirq() {
CPU[001]   } 2221
CPU[000]   __do_softirq() {
CPU[000]     __local_bh_disable() {
CPU[001]   unroll_tree_refs() {
CPU[000]     } 569
CPU[001]   } 501
CPU[000]     rcu_process_callbacks() {
CPU[001]   kfree() {

What makes this nice is that now you can grep the file and produce
readable format for a particular CPU.

 # cat /debug/tracing/trace > /tmp/trace
 # grep '^CPU\[000\]' /tmp/trace > /tmp/trace0
 # grep '^CPU\[001\]' /tmp/trace > /tmp/trace1

Will give you:

Impact: feature

This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing.
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...

Impact: help to find the better depth of trace

We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
"20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
/debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
right.

As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.

This patch adds the support for dynamic tracing on the function return tracer.
The whole difference with normal dynamic function tracing is that we don't need
to hook on a particular callback. The only pro that we want is to nop or set
dynamically the calls to ftrace_caller (which is ftrace_return_caller here).

Some security checks ensure that we are not trying to launch dynamic tracing for
return tracing while normal function tracing is already running.

An example of trace with getnstimeofday set as a filter:

ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (2283 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1396 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1825 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1426 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1464 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1524 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1434 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1464 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1502 ns)

ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1397 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1051 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1314 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1344 ns)

Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail

This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed.
A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie:
-ENOMEM) if it fails.

If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The
tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the
error from the init callback.

Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

Impact: add new tracing plugin which can trace full (entry+exit) function calls

This tracer uses the low level function return ftrace plugin to
measure the execution time of the kernel functions.

The first field is the caller of the function, the second is the
measured function, and the last one is the execution time in
nanoseconds.

- v3:

- HAVE_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER have been added. 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...
