      tracing: Add 'hist' event trigger command · 7ef224d1
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events,
      which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file
      containing the aggregation in a human-readable format.
      
      The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby
      trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and
      viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables
      completely defined by the user.
      
      This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and
      without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter.
      
      A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users
      via this simple mechanism.  In fact, a large number of the tasks that
      users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing
      tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be
      accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used
      in the creation of a hash table.
      
      The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive
      list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of
      the event format files associated with each trace event.  By simply
      consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging
      them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number
      of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties
      of the system.  See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples.
      
      hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger
      infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers
      from a user's perspective as well.
      
      The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax.  Users start an
      aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's
      trigger file:
      
        # echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger
      
      Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually
      aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key
      and a value field named 'hitcount'.
      
      To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist'
      file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file:
      
        # cat event/hist
      
      The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and
      is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the
      virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

      tracing: Add infrastructure to allow set_event_pid to follow children · c37775d5
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Add the infrastructure needed to have the PIDs in set_event_pid to
      automatically add PIDs of the children of the tasks that have their PIDs in
      set_event_pid. This will also remove PIDs from set_event_pid when a task
      exits
      
      This is implemented by adding hooks into the fork and exit tracepoints. On
      fork, the PIDs are added to the list, and on exit, they are removed.
      
      Add a new option called event_fork that when set, PIDs in set_event_pid will
      automatically get their children PIDs added when they fork, as well as any
      task that exits will have its PID removed from set_event_pid.
      
      This works for instances as well.

      tracing: Make tracer_flags use the right set_flag callback · d39cdd20
      Chunyu Hu 提交于
      When I was updating the ftrace_stress test of ltp. I encountered
      a strange phenomemon, excute following steps:
      
      echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
      echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-cpu
      bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
      
      check dmesg:
      [ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the result
      
      The reason is that the trace option test will randomly setup trace
      option under tracing/options no matter what the current_tracer is.
      but the set_tracer_option is always using the set_flag callback
      from the current_tracer. This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags
      and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is
      setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter
      what the the current_tracer is.
      
      And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which
      doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the
      pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags
      for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no
      tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code.
      
      And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as
      it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.

      tracing: Fix stacktrace skip depth in trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs() · 7717c6be
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      While cleaning the stacktrace code I unintentially changed the skip depth of
      trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs() from 0 to 6. kprobes uses this function,
      and with skipping 6 call backs, it can easily produce no stack.
      
      Here's how I tested it:
      
       # echo 'p:ext4_sync_fs ext4_sync_fs ' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
       # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
       # cat /sys/kernel/debug/trace
                  sync-2394  [005]   502.457060: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
                  sync-2394  [005]   502.457063: kernel_stack:         <stack trace>
                  sync-2394  [005]   502.457086: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)

                  sync-2394  [005]   502.457091: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
      
      After putting back the skip stack to zero, we have:

      tracing: Always show all tracer options in the options directory · 41d9c0be
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      There are options that are unique to a specific tracer (like function and
      function graph). Currently, these options are only visible in the options
      directory when the tracer is enabled.
      
      This has been a pain, especially for something like the func_stack_trace
      option that if used inappropriately, could bring the system to a crawl. But
      the only way to see it, is to enable the function tracer.
      
      For example, if one had done:
      
       # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
       # echo __schedule > set_ftrace_filter
       # echo 1 > options/func_stack_trace
       # echo function > current_tracer
      
      The __schedule call will be traced and a stack trace will also be recorded
      there. Now when you were done, you may do...
      
       # echo nop > current_tracer
       # echo > set_ftrace_filter
      
      But you forgot to disable the func_stack_trace. The only way to disable it
      is to re-enable function tracing first. If you do not add a filter to
      set_ftrace_filter and just do:
      
       # echo function > current_tracer
      
      Now you would be performing a stack trace on *every* function! On some
      systems, that causes a live lock. Others may take a few minutes to fix your
      mistake.
      
      Having the func_stack_trace option visible allows you to check it and
      disable it before enabling the funtion tracer.

      tracing: Use TRACE_FLAGS macro to keep enums and strings matched · a3418a36
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      Use a cute little macro trick to keep the names of the trace flags file
      guaranteed to match the corresponding masks.
      
      The macro TRACE_FLAGS is defined as a serious of enum names followed by
      the string name of the file that matches it. For example:
      
       #define TRACE_FLAGS						\
      		C(PRINT_PARENT,		"print-parent"),	\
      		C(SYM_OFFSET,		"sym-offset"),		\
      		C(SYM_ADDR,		"sym-addr"),		\
      		C(VERBOSE,		"verbose"),
      
      Now we can define the following:
      
       #undef C
       #define C(a, b) TRACE_ITER_##a##_BIT
       enum trace_iterator_bits { TRACE_FLAGS };
      
      The above creates:
      
       enum trace_iterator_bits {
      	TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT_BIT,
      	TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET_BIT,
      	TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT,
      	TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE_BIT,
       };
      
      Then we can redefine C as:
      
       #undef C
       #define C(a, b) TRACE_ITER_##a = (1 << TRACE_ITER_##a##_BIT)
       enum trace_iterator_flags { TRACE_FLAGS };
      
      Which creates:
      
       enum trace_iterator_flags {
      	TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT	= (1 << TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT_BIT),
      	TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET	= (1 << TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET_BIT),
      	TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR	= (1 << TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT),
      	TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE	= (1 << TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE_BIT),
       };
      
      Then finally we can create the list of file names:
      
       #undef C
       #define C(a, b) b
       static const char *trace_options[] = {
      	TRACE_FLAGS
      	NULL
       };
      
      Which creates:
       static const char *trace_options[] = {
      	"print-parent",
      	"sym-offset",
      	"sym-addr",
      	"verbose",
      	NULL
       };
      
      The importance of this is that the strings match the bit index.
