      tracing/events: add export symbols for trace events in modules · 17c873ec
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: let modules add trace events
      
      The trace event code requires some functions to be exported to allow
      modules to use TRACE_EVENT. This patch adds EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL to the
      necessary functions.

      tracing/events: convert event call sites to use a link list · a59fd602
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: makes it possible to define events in modules
      
      The events are created by reading down the section that they are linked
      in by the macros. But this is not scalable to modules. This patch converts
      the manipulations to use a global link list, and on boot up it adds
      the items in the section to the list.
      
      This change will allow modules to add their tracing events to the list as
      well.
      
      Note, this change alone does not permit modules to use the TRACE_EVENT macros,
      but the change is needed for them to eventually do so.

      tracing: make trace_seq operations available for core kernel · 9504504c
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      In the process to make TRACE_EVENT macro work for modules, the trace_seq
      operations must be available for core kernel code.
      
      These operations are quite useful and can be used for other implementations.
      
      The main idea is that we create a trace_seq handle that acts very much
      like the seq_file handle.
      
      	struct trace_seq *s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s, GFP_KERNEL);
      
      	trace_seq_init(s);
      	trace_seq_printf(s, "some data %d\n", variable);
      
      	printk("%s", s->buffer);
      
      The main use is to allow a top level function call several other functions
      that may store printf like data into the buffer. Then at the end, the top
      level function can process all the data with any method it would like to.
      It could be passed to userspace, output via printk or even use seq_file:
      
      	trace_seq_to_user(s, ubuf, cnt);
      	seq_puts(m, s->buffer);

      tracing: create automated trace defines · a8d154b0
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add
      new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint
      into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the
      trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or
      DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file
      with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point.
      
      This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name).
      Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h
      file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including
      of that file.
      
       #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
       #include <trace/mytrace.h>
      
      This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code
      necessary to implement the trace point.
      
      Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code
      it is best to list them all together.
      
       #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
       #include <trace/foo.h>
       #include <trace/bar.h>
       #include <trace/fido.h>
      
      Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with
      the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first
      design to have the C code include a "special" header.
      
      This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new
      method.

      tracing: consolidate trace and trace_event headers · ea20d929
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: clean up
      
      Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up
      into two files. The reason for that was that ftrace needed to separate out
      the declarations from where the #include <linux/tracepoint.h> was used.
      It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the
      TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined.
      
      The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not
      then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates
      all the <traces>.h and <traces>_event_types.h into the <traces>.h file.

      tracing/filters: allow on-the-fly filter switching · 0a19e53c
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched
      on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of
      previous versions.
      
      It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which
      does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of
      the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are
      allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization.
      
      Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions
      currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately
      switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of
      the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently
      executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're
      currently using.
      
      In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied
      into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none()
      functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new
      filter.  In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a
      previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the
      filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*.  In
      that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the
      filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_*
      function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false
      positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds.
      
      So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad
      match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with
      that, IMHO.
      
      The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists
      are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start.  They could
      probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is
      completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another
      one to do that later on.
      
      Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events,
      currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded
      str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

      tracing/infrastructure: separate event tracer from event support · 5f77a88b
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      Add a new config option, CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING that gets selected
      when CONFIG_TRACING is selected and adds everything needed by the stuff
      in trace_export - basically all the event tracing support needed by e.g.
      bprint, minus the actual events, which are only included if
      CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER is selected.
      
      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.

      ring-buffer: add ring_buffer_discard_commit · fa1b47dd
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The ring_buffer_discard_commit is similar to ring_buffer_event_discard
      but it can only be done on an event that has yet to be commited.
      Unpredictable results can happen otherwise.
      
      The main difference between ring_buffer_discard_commit and
      ring_buffer_event_discard is that ring_buffer_discard_commit will try
      to free the data in the ring buffer if nothing has addded data
      after the reserved event. If something did, then it acts almost the
      same as ring_buffer_event_discard followed by a
      ring_buffer_unlock_commit.
      
      Note, either ring_buffer_commit_discard and ring_buffer_unlock_commit
      can be called on an event, not both.
      
      This commit also exports both discard functions to be usable by
      GPL modules.

      tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events · e1112b4d
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats
      exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT.  It also hooks up all the tracers
      that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can
      also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism.
      
      When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me
      into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were -
      I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file
      bug reports. ;-)
      
      One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the
      sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if
      you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output
      from the events without filters on them can make it look like the
      filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing
      what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing.
      
      The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function
      tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the
      unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g.
      cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in
      awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the
      trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file.
      If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before
      they disappear.
      
      Changes from v1:
      
      As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker:
      
      - get rid of externs in functions
      - added unlikely() to filter_check_discard()

      There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous
      scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to
      call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation.
      
      In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's
      better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before
      attempting to open the resume device.

      cpufreq: use smp_call_function_[single|many]() in acpi-cpufreq.c · 01599fca
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Atttempting to rid us of the problematic work_on_cpu().  Just use
      smp_call_fuction_single() here.
      
      This repairs a 10% sysbench(oltp)+mysql regression which Mike reported,
      due to
      
        commit 6b44003e

            work_on_cpu(): rewrite it to create a kernel thread on demand
      
      It seems that the kernel calls these acpi-cpufreq functions at a quite
      high frequency.
      
      Valdis Kletnieks also reports that this causes 70-90 forks per second on
      his hardware.

      lockdep: continue lock debugging despite some taints · 574bbe78
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: broaden lockdep checks
      
      Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient
      to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel
      tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the
      staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused
      on another things that require lockdep.
      
      The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case
      of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

      lockdep: warn about lockdep disabling after kernel taint · 9eeba613
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: provide useful missing info for developers
      
      Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings,
      load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc...
      
      But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on
      the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint
      disables lockdep without ever warning about it.
      Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development.
      
      This patch adds this missing warning.
      
      Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that
      explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside
      add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main
      information.
      
      v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an
          open coded xchg().
