      tracing/fastboot: fix bootgraph.pl initcall name regexp · 5c542368
      Arnaud Patard 提交于
      The regexp used to match the start and the end of an initcall
      are matching only on [a-zA-Z\_]. This rules out initcalls with
      a number in them. This patch is fixing that.

      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      David Sanders reported some issues with bootgraph.pl's display
      of his sytems bootup; this commit fixes these by scaling the graph
      not from 0 - end time but from the first initcall to the end time;
      the minimum display size etc also now need to scale with this, as does
      the axis display.

      ring-buffer: make reentrant · bf41a158
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch replaces the local_irq_save/restore with preempt_disable/
      enable. This allows for interrupts to enter while recording.
      To write to the ring buffer, you must reserve data, and then
      commit it. During this time, an interrupt may call a trace function
      that will also record into the buffer before the commit is made.
      
      The interrupt will reserve its entry after the first entry, even
      though the first entry did not finish yet.
      
      The time stamp delta of the interrupt entry will be zero, since
      in the view of the trace, the interrupt happened during the
      first field anyway.
      
      Locking still takes place when the tail/write moves from one page
      to the next. The reader always takes the locks.
      
      A new page pointer is added, called the commit. The write/tail will
      always point to the end of all entries. The commit field will
      point to the last committed entry. Only this commit entry may
      update the write time stamp.
      
      The reader can only go up to the commit. It cannot go past it.
      
      If a lot of interrupts come in during a commit that fills up the
      buffer, and it happens to make it all the way around the buffer
      back to the commit, then a warning is printed and new events will
      be dropped.

      was the loop counter. Unfortunately, the 'i' was the counter of
      pages, not CPUs. This caused a crash when the number of pages allocated

      After some initcall traces, some initcall names may be inconsistent.
      That's because these functions will disappear from the .init section

      So we have to copy the name of the function in a buffer large enough

      ftrace: preempt disable over interrupt disable · 38697053
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      With the new ring buffer infrastructure in ftrace, I'm trying to make
      ftrace a little more light weight.
      
      This patch converts a lot of the local_irq_save/restore into
      preempt_disable/enable.  The original preempt count in a lot of cases
      has to be sent in as a parameter so that it can be recorded correctly.
      Some places were recording it incorrectly before anyway.
      
      This is also laying the ground work to make ftrace a little bit
      more reentrant, and remove all locking. The function tracers must
      still protect from reentrancy.
      
      Note: All the function tracers must be careful when using preempt_disable.
        It must do the following:
      
        resched = need_resched();
        preempt_disable_notrace();
        [...]
        if (resched)
      	preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace();
        else
      	preempt_enable_notrace();
      
      The reason is that if this function traces schedule() itself, the
      preempt_enable_notrace() will cause a schedule, which will lead
      us into a recursive failure.
      
      If we needed to reschedule before calling preempt_disable, we
      should have already scheduled. Since we did not, this is most
      likely that we should not and are probably inside a schedule
      function.
      
      If resched was not set, we still need to catch the need resched
      flag being set when preemption was off and the if case at the
      end will catch that for us.

      ftrace: type cast filter+verifier · 7104f300
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The mmiotrace map had a bug that would typecast the entry from
      the trace to the wrong type. That is a known danger of C typecasts,
      there's absolutely zero checking done on them.
      
      Help that problem a bit by using a GCC extension to implement a
      type filter that restricts the types that a trace record can be
      cast into, and by adding a dynamic check (in debug mode) to verify
      the type of the entry.
      
      This patch adds a macro to assign all entries of ftrace using the type
      of the variable and checking the entry id. The typecasts are now done
      in the macro for only those types that it knows about, which should
      be all the types that are allowed to be read from the tracer.

      ring_buffer: implement new locking · d769041f
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The old "lock always" scheme had issues with lockdep, and was not very
      efficient anyways.
      
      This patch does a new design to be partially lockless on writes.
      Writes will add new entries to the per cpu pages by simply disabling
      interrupts. When a write needs to go to another page than it will
      grab the lock.
      
      A new "read page" has been added so that the reader can pull out a page
      from the ring buffer to read without worrying about the writer writing over
      it. This allows us to not take the lock for all reads. The lock is
      now only taken when a read needs to go to a new page.
      
      This is far from lockless, and interrupts still need to be disabled,
      but it is a step towards a more lockless solution, and it also
      solves a lot of the issues that were noticed by the first conversion
      of ftrace to the ring buffers.
      
      Note: the ring_buffer_{un}lock API has been removed.

      _ Find better names for the enum print_line_t values
      _ Change the type of print_trace_line into boolean.
      
      Patches to change that can be sent later.

      ftrace: take advantage of variable length entries · 777e208d
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Now that the underlining ring buffer for ftrace now hold variable length
      entries, we can take advantage of this by only storing the size of the
      actual event into the buffer. This happens to increase the number of
      entries in the buffer dramatically.
      
      We can also get rid of the "trace_cont" operation, but I'm keeping that
      until we have no more users. Some of the ftrace tracers can now change
      their code to adapt to this new feature.

      ring_buffer: add paranoid check for buffer page · a7b13743
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      If for some strange reason the buffer_page gets bigger, or the page struct
      gets smaller, I want to know this ASAP.  The best way is to not let the
      kernel compile.
      
      This patch adds code to test the size of the struct buffer_page against the
      page struct and will cause compile issues if the buffer_page ever gets bigger
      than the page struct.

      tracing: unified trace buffer · 7a8e76a3
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that
      hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use.
      
      The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure:
      
        struct ring_buffer_event {
      	u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27;
      	u32 array[];
        };
      
      The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte
      aligned inside the buffer.
      
      There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only
      the data type is exported to the interface users).
      
       RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end
      	of a buffer page.
      
       RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events
      	is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another
      	32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size).
      
       RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to
      	help keep the buffer timestamps in sync.
      
      RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data.
      
      The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be
      4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a
      max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28
      bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the
      data load and the len field is set to zero.
      
      Example, data size of 7 bytes:
      
      	type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
      	len = 2
      	time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
      	array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty>
      
      This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer.
      
      An event with 82 bytes of data:
      
      	type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
      	len = 0
      	time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
      	array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment)
      	array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty>
      
      The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct).
      82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.
      
      Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following
      functions to gain access to the event table, since the
      ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future.
      
      ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event.
      	This is the size of the memory used to record this
      	event, and not the size of the data pay load.
      
      ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event
      	This returns the delta time stamp since the last event.
      	Note: Even though this is in the header, there should
      		be no reason to access this directly, accept
      		for debugging.
      
      ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event
      	This is the function to use to get the actual data
      	from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the
      	data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to
      	another location otherwise you risk it being written
      	over in the buffer.
      
      ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer.
      ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer.
      
      ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between
      	overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will
      	overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will
      	throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the
      	producer.  The consumer/producer is the default.
      
      ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer.
      
      ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu
      	buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that
      	the buffer is not being used while this is happening.
      	This requirement may go away but do not count on it.
      
      ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an
      	entry on the buffer to write to.
      ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to
      	the buffer.
      
      ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer.
      
      ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer.
      ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and
      	consume it. That is, this function increments the head
      	pointer.
      
      ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer.
      	For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue
      	a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator
      	to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future.
      	But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which
      	is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want
      	to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not
      	disable the ring buffer.
      
      ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables
      	the ring buffer.
      
      ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator.
      ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it.
      ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning
      	of the cpu buffer.
      ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end
      	of the cpu buffer.
      
      ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer.
      	Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs.
      
      ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty
      ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty
      
      ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a
      	cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you
      	want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one
      	cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.
      	Ftrace max latencies use this.
      
      ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty.
      ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty.
      
      ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only)
      ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only)
      ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers.
      ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer.
      
      ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer.
      ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap.
      
      ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer
      ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp
      	into nanosecs.
      
      I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from
      the cpu frequency infrastructure.  But this can be done at a later
      time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

      ftrace: give time for wakeup test to run · 5aa60c60
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      It is possible that the testing thread in the ftrace wakeup test does not
      run before we stop the trace. This will cause the trace to fail since nothing
      will be in the buffers.
      
      This patch adds a small wait in the wakeup test to allow for the woken task
      to run and be traced.
