      tracing: Add stack trace to irqsoff tracer · cc51a0fc
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      The irqsoff and friends tracers help in finding causes of latency in the
kernel. The also work with the function tracer to show what was happening
when interrupts or preemption are disabled. But the function tracer has
a bit of an overhead and can cause exagerated readings.

Currently, when tracing with /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled = 0, where the
function tracer is disabled, the information that is provided can end up
being useless. For example, a 2 and a half millisecond latency only showed:

 # tracer: preemptirqsoff
 #
 # preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.32
 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
 # latency: 2463 us, #4/4, CPU#2 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4)

 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue

The above lets us know that hackbench with pid 2463 grabbed a spin lock
somewhere and enabled preemption at remove_wait_queue. This helps a little
but where this actually happened is not informative.

This patch adds the stack dump to the end of the irqsoff tracer. This provides
the following output:

 hackbenc-4242    2d....    0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave
 hackbenc-4242    2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue

  => _spin_unlock_irqrestore
  => remove_wait_queue
  => free_poll_entry
  => poll_freewait
  => do_sys_poll
  => sys_poll
  => system_call_fastpath

Now we see that the culprit of this latency was the free_poll_entry code.

      tracing: Add trace_dump_stack() · 03889384
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling
some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing
and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is
calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling
that function and entering a specific if conditional.

I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for
this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized
that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk().

Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it
writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations.

For example:

@@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible:
 	if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) {
 		if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev)))
 			prev->state = TASK_RUNNING;
-		else
+		else {
 			deactivate_task(rq, prev, 1);
+			trace_printk("Deactivating task %s:%d\n",
+				     prev->comm, prev->pid);
+			trace_dump_stack();
+		}
 		switch_count = &prev->nvcsw;
 	}

Produces:

           <...>-3249  [001]   296.105269: schedule: Deactivating task ntpd:3249
           <...>-3249  [001]   296.105270: <stack trace>

      ring-buffer: Move resize integrity check under reader lock · dd7f5943
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      While using an application that does splice on the ftrace ring
buffer at start up, I triggered an integrity check failure.

Looking into this, I discovered that resizing the buffer performs
an integrity check after the buffer is resized. This check unfortunately
is preformed after it releases the reader lock. If a reader is
reading the buffer it may cause the integrity check to trigger a
false failure.

This patch simply moves the integrity checker under the protection
of the ring buffer reader lock.

      ring-buffer: Use sync sched protection on ring buffer resizing · 18421015
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      There was a comment in the ring buffer code that says the calling
layers should prevent tracing or reading of the ring buffer while
resizing. I have discovered that the tracers do not honor this
arrangement.

This patch moves the disabling and synchronizing the ring buffer to
a higher layer during resizing. This guarantees that no writes
are occurring while the resize takes place.

      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      strstrip returns a pointer to the first non space character, but the
code in parse_ksym_trace_str() ignores that.

strstrip is now must_check and therefor we get the correct warning:
kernel/trace/trace_ksym.c:294: warning:
ignoring return value of ‘strstrip’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result

We are really not interested in leading whitespace here.

      tracing: Remove comparing of NULL to va_list in trace_array_vprintk() · f2942487
      由 Carsten Emde 提交于 
      Olof Johansson stated the following:

  Comparing a va_list with NULL is bogus. It's supposed to be treated like
  an opaque type and only be manipulated with va_* accessors.

Olof noticed that this code broke the ARM builds:

    kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'trace_array_vprintk':
    kernel/trace/trace.c:1364: error: invalid operands to binary == (have 'va_list' and 'void *')
    kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'tracing_mark_write':
    kernel/trace/trace.c:3349: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'trace_vprintk'

This patch partly reverts c13d2f7c and
re-installs the original mark_printk() mechanism.

      tracing: Fix function graph trace_pipe to properly display failed entries · be1eca39
      由 Jiri Olsa 提交于 
      There is a case where the graph tracer might get confused and omits
displaying of a single record.  This applies mostly with the trace_pipe
since it is unlikely that the trace_seq buffer will overflow with the
trace file.

As the function_graph tracer goes through the trace entries keeping a
pointer to the current record:

current ->  func1 ENTRY
            func2 ENTRY
            func2 RETURN
            func1 RETURN

When an function ENTRY is encountered, it moves the pointer to the
next entry to check if the function is a nested or leaf function.

            func1 ENTRY
current ->  func2 ENTRY
            func2 RETURN
            func1 RETURN

If the rest of the writing of the function fills the trace_seq buffer,
then the trace_pipe read will ignore this entry. The next read will
Now start at the current location, but the first entry (func1) will
be discarded.

This patch keeps a copy of the current entry in the iterator private
storage and will keep track of when the trace_seq buffer fills. When
the trace_seq buffer fills, it will reuse the copy of the entry in the
next iteration.

[
  This patch has been largely modified by Steven Rostedt in order to
  clean it up and simplify it. The original idea and concept was from
  Jirka and for that, this patch will go under his name to give him
  the credit he deserves. But because this was modify by Steven Rostedt
  anything wrong with the patch should be blamed on Steven.

      tracing: Add full state to trace_seq · d184b31c
      由 Johannes Berg 提交于 
      The trace_seq buffer might fill up, and right now one needs to check the
return value of each printf into the buffer to check for that.

Instead, have the buffer keep track of whether it is full or not, and
reject more input if it is full or would have overflowed with an input
that wasn't added.

      tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled buffer · a63ce5b3
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next
itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the
function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to
determine leaf functions.

What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function
graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return
of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the
function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer
iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start
entry).

The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the
seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry.
The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start
which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry).
But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph
plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf.

To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the
seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer
fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset
the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover
flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not
call into the plugin print functions.

 2)               |        __fput() {

 2)   0.540 us    |          inotify_dentry_parent_queue_event();

      tracing/kprobes: Fix field creation's bad error handling · 822a6961
      由 Frederic Weisbecker 提交于 
      When we define the common event fields in kprobe, we invert the error
handling and return immediately in case of success. Then we omit
to define specific kprobes fields (ip and nargs), and specific
kretprobes fields (func, ret_ip, nargs). And we only define them
when we fail to create common fields.

The most visible consequence is that we can't create filter for
k(ret)probes specific fields.

This patch re-invert the success/error handling to fix it.
