      tracing: Replace trace_event struct array with pointer array · e4a9ea5e
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Currently the trace_event structures are placed in the _ftrace_events
      section, and at link time, the linker makes one large array of all
      the trace_event structures. On boot up, this array is read (much like
      the initcall sections) and the events are processed.
      
      The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
      structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
      same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
      are suppose to be in an array.
      
      A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
      structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
      architectures (sparc).
      
      Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
      are now put into the _ftrace_event section. As pointers are always the
      natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
      (otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
      
      By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
      iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
      with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
      gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
      off a little more.
      
      The _ftrace_event section is also moved into the .init.data section
      as it is now only needed at boot up.

      lockdep: Move early boot local IRQ enable/disable status to init/main.c · 2ce802f6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is
      properly initialized.  During this time, no one should enable
      local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with
      IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require
      communications with other processors, are allowed.
      
      lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks.
      As other subsystems need this information too, move it to
      init/main.c and make it generally available.  While at it,
      toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of
      enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true
      indicates the exceptional condition.

      tracing: Remove syscall_exit_fields · 7f85803a
      Lai Jiangshan 提交于
      There is no need for syscall_exit_fields as the syscall
      exit event class can already host the fields in its structure,
      like most other trace events do by default. Use that
      default behavior instead.
      
      Following this scheme, we don't need anymore to override the
      get_fields() callback of the syscall exit event class either.
      
      Hence both syscall_exit_fields and syscall_get_exit_fields() can
      be removed.
      
      Also changed some indentation to keep the following under 80
      characters:
      
      ".fields		= LIST_HEAD_INIT(event_class_syscall_exit.fields),"

      ring_buffer: Off-by-one and duplicate events in ring_buffer_read_page · e1e35927
      David Sharp 提交于
      Fix two related problems in the event-copying loop of
      ring_buffer_read_page.
      
      The loop condition for copying events is off-by-one.
      "len" is the remaining space in the caller-supplied page.
      "size" is the size of the next event (or two events).
      If len == size, then there is just enough space for the next event.
      
      size was set to rb_event_ts_length, which may include the size of two
      events if the first event is a time-extend, in order to assure time-
      extends are kept together with the event after it. However,
      rb_advance_reader always advances by one event. This would result in the
      event after any time-extend being duplicated. Instead, get the size of
      a single event for the memcpy, but use rb_event_ts_length for the loop
      condition.

      tracing/events: Show real number in array fields · 04295780
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Currently we have in something like the sched_switch event:
      
        field:char prev_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];	offset:12;	size:16;	signed:1;
      
      When a userspace tool such as perf tries to parse this, the
      TASK_COMM_LEN is meaningless. This is done because the TRACE_EVENT() macro
      simply uses a #len to show the string of the length. When the length is
      an enum, we get a string that means nothing for tools.
      
      By adding a static buffer and a mutex to protect it, we can store the
      string into that buffer with snprintf and show the actual number.
      Now we get:
      
        field:char prev_comm[16];       offset:12;      size:16;        signed:1;
      
      Something much more useful.

      The user stack trace can fault when examining the trace. Which
      would call the do_page_fault handler, which would trace again,
      which would do the user stack trace, which would fault and call

       - sanity checks in bio based drivers.
       - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
       - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
         but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
       - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
         drivers.
       - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
         removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
       - blktrace handling of barriers - removed.  Someone who knows blktrace

      ring-buffer: Remove condition to add timestamp in fast path · 140ff891
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      There's a condition to check if we should add a time extend or
      not in the fast path. But this condition is racey (in the sense
      that we can add a unnecessary time extend, but nothing that
      can break anything). We later check if the time or event time
      delta should be zero or have real data in it (not racey), making
      this first check redundant.
      
      This check may help save space once in a while, but really is
      not worth the hassle to try to save some space that happens at
      most 134 ms at a time.

      ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together · 69d1b839
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      When the time between two timestamps is greater than
      2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends
      the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to
      events only having a 27 bit field to store time.
      
      Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before
      the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before
      the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as
      with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been
      committed, it will stay in the buffer.
      
      If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being
      written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer
      without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer
      with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event
      in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can
      only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning.
      
      This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here
      is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added.
      Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on
      the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The
      time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and
      the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed
      back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function
      to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the
      ring buffer interface need to be made.
      
      When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and
      the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can
      be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend.
