Use a temporary variable to store the expansion of the len expression. If the evaluation is expensive, this commit will ensure it is evaluated only once inside ftrace_get_offsets_<call>.

This fixes expansion of the len argument in __dynamic_array macros. The previous code from commit 7d536cb3 would not fully evaluate the expression before multiplying its result by the size of the type. This went unnoticed because the length stored in the high 16 bits of the offset (which is the one that was broken here) is only used by filter_pred_strloc which only acts on strings for which the size of the type is 1.

The functions that assign the contents for the ftrace events are defined by the TRACE_EVENT() macros. Each event has its own unique way to assign data to its buffer. When you have over 500 events, that means there's 500 functions assigning data uniquely for each event (not really that many, as DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and multiple DEFINE_EVENT()s will only need a single function). By making helper functions in the core kernel to do some of the work instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit. With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was: text data bss dec hex filename 12987390 1913504 9785344 24686238 178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux 12959102 1913504 9785344 24657950 178401e /tmp/vmlinux.patched That's a total of 28288 bytes, which comes down to 56 bytes per event.

The code for trace events to format the raw recorded event data into human readable format in the 'trace' file is repeated for every event in the system. When you have over 500 events, this can add up quite a bit. By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit. With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was: text data bss dec hex filename 12991007 1913568 9785344 24689919 178bcff /tmp/vmlinux.orig 12990946 1913568 9785344 24689858 178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux.patched Note, this version does not save as much as the version of this patch I had a few years ago. That is because in the mean time, commit f71130de ("tracing: Add a helper function for event print functions") did a lot of the work my original patch did. But this change helps slightly, and is part of a larger clean up to reduce the size much further.

The event trigger code that checks for callback triggers before and after recording of an event has lots of flags checks. This code is duplicated throughout the ftrace events, kprobes and system calls. They all do the exact same checks against the event flags. Added helper functions ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled(), event_trigger_unlock_commit() and event_trigger_unlock_commit_regs() that consolidated the code and these are used instead.

Add a generic event_command.set_trigger_filter() op implementation and have the current set of trigger commands use it - this essentially gives them all support for filters. Syntactically, filters are supported by adding 'if <filter>' just after the command, in which case only events matching the filter will invoke the trigger. For example, to add a filter to an enable/disable_event command: echo 'enable_event:system:event if common_pid == 999' > \ .../othersys/otherevent/trigger The above command will only enable the system:event event if the common_pid field in the othersys:otherevent event is 999. As another example, to add a filter to a stacktrace command: echo 'stacktrace if common_pid == 999' > \ .../somesys/someevent/trigger The above command will only trigger a stacktrace if the common_pid field in the event is 999. The filter syntax is the same as that described in the 'Event filtering' section of Documentation/trace/events.txt. Because triggers can now use filters, the trigger-invoking logic needs to be moved in those cases - e.g. for ftrace_raw_event_calls, if a trigger has a filter associated with it, the trigger invocation now needs to happen after the { assign; } part of the call, in order for the trigger condition to be tested. There's still a SOFT_DISABLED-only check at the top of e.g. the ftrace_raw_events function, so when an event is soft disabled but not because of the presence of a trigger, the original SOFT_DISABLED behavior remains unchanged. There's also a bit of trickiness in that some triggers need to avoid being invoked while an event is currently in the process of being logged, since the trigger may itself log data into the trace buffer. Thus we make sure the current event is committed before invoking those triggers. To do that, we split the trigger invocation in two - the first part (event_triggers_call()) checks the filter using the current trace record; if a command has the post_trigger flag set, it sets a bit for itself in the return value, otherwise it directly invoks the trigger. Once all commands have been either invoked or set their return flag, event_triggers_call() returns. The current record is then either committed or discarded; if any commands have deferred their triggers, those commands are finally invoked following the close of the current event by event_triggers_post_call(). To simplify the above and make it more efficient, the TRIGGER_COND bit is introduced, which is set only if a soft-disabled trigger needs to use the log record for filter testing or needs to wait until the current log record is closed. The syscall event invocation code is also changed in analogous ways. Because event triggers need to be able to create and free filters, this also adds a couple external wrappers for the existing create_filter and free_filter functions, which are too generic to be made extern functions themselves.

Add a 'trigger' file for each trace event, enabling 'trace event triggers' to be set for trace events. 'trace event triggers' are patterned after the existing 'ftrace function triggers' implementation except that triggers are written to per-event 'trigger' files instead of to a single file such as the 'set_ftrace_filter' used for ftrace function triggers. The implementation is meant to be entirely separate from ftrace function triggers, in order to keep the respective implementations relatively simple and to allow them to diverge. The event trigger functionality is built on top of SOFT_DISABLE functionality. It adds a TRIGGER_MODE bit to the ftrace_event_file flags which is checked when any trace event fires. Triggers set for a particular event need to be checked regardless of whether that event is actually enabled or not - getting an event to fire even if it's not enabled is what's already implemented by SOFT_DISABLE mode, so trigger mode directly reuses that. Event trigger essentially inherit the soft disable logic in __ftrace_event_enable_disable() while adding a bit of logic and trigger reference counting via tm_ref on top of that in a new trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() function. Because the base __ftrace_event_enable_disable() code now needs to be invoked from outside trace_events.c, a wrapper is also added for those usages. The triggers for an event are actually invoked via a new function, event_triggers_call(), and code is also added to invoke them for ftrace_raw_event calls as well as syscall events. The main part of the patch creates a new trace_events_trigger.c file to contain the trace event triggers implementation. The standard open, read, and release file operations are implemented here. The open() implementation sets up for the various open modes of the 'trigger' file. It creates and attaches the trigger iterator and sets up the command parser. If opened for reading set up the trigger seq_ops. The read() implementation parses the event trigger written to the 'trigger' file, looks up the trigger command, and passes it along to that event_command's func() implementation for command-specific processing. The release() implementation does whatever cleanup is needed to release the 'trigger' file, like releasing the parser and trigger iterator, etc. A couple of functions for event command registration and unregistration are added, along with a list to add them to and a mutex to protect them, as well as an (initially empty) registration function to add the set of commands that will be added by future commits, and call to it from the trace event initialization code. also added are a couple trigger-specific data structures needed for these implementations such as a trigger iterator and a struct for trigger-specific data. A couple structs consisting mostly of function meant to be implemented in command-specific ways, event_command and event_trigger_ops, are used by the generic event trigger command implementations. They're being put into trace.h alongside the other trace_event data structures and functions, in the expectation that they'll be needed in several trace_event-related files such as trace_events_trigger.c and trace_events.c. The event_command.func() function is meant to be called by the trigger parsing code in order to add a trigger instance to the corresponding event. It essentially coordinates adding a live trigger instance to the event, and arming the triggering the event. Every event_command func() implementation essentially does the same thing for any command: - choose ops - use the value of param to choose either a number or count version of event_trigger_ops specific to the command - do the register or unregister of those ops - associate a filter, if specified, with the triggering event The reg() and unreg() ops allow command-specific implementations for event_trigger_op registration and unregistration, and the get_trigger_ops() op allows command-specific event_trigger_ops selection to be parameterized. When a trigger instance is added, the reg() op essentially adds that trigger to the triggering event and arms it, while unreg() does the opposite. The set_filter() function is used to associate a filter with the trigger - if the command doesn't specify a set_filter() implementation, the command will ignore filters. Each command has an associated trigger_type, which serves double duty, both as a unique identifier for the command as well as a value that can be used for setting a trigger mode bit during trigger invocation. The signature of func() adds a pointer to the event_command struct, used to invoke those functions, along with a command_data param that can be passed to the reg/unreg functions. This allows func() implementations to use command-specific blobs and supports code re-use. The event_trigger_ops.func() command corrsponds to the trigger 'probe' function that gets called when the triggering event is actually invoked. The other functions are used to list the trigger when needed, along with a couple mundane book-keeping functions. This also moves event_file_data() into trace.h so it can be used outside of trace_events.c.

Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem. When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an infinite event generation loop: ,-> <IPI> | irq_work_exit() -> | trace_irq_work_exit() -> | ... | __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync) | irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty) '--------- arch_irq_work_raise() Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit. To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint. In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a tracepoint perf event.

The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using filters in the multibuffer case: Before: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect the same event in tracing/events as it does above. After: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away. The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard() redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as appropriate).

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit(task => NULL) make no sense if hlist_empty(head). Change perf_trace_##call() to check ->perf_events beforehand and do nothing if it is empty. This removes the overhead for tasks without events associated with them. For example, "perf record -e sched:sched_switch -p1" attaches the counter(s) to the single task, but every task in system will do perf_trace_buf_prepare/submit() just to realize that it was not attached to this event. However, we can only do this if __task == NULL, so we also add the __builtin_constant_p(__task) check. With this patch "perf bench sched pipe" shows approximately 4% improvement when "perf record -p1" runs in parallel, many thanks to Steven for the testing.

The next patch tries to avoid the costly perf_trace_buf_* calls when possible but there is a problem. We can only do this if __task == NULL, perf_tp_event(task != NULL) has the additional code for this case. Unfortunately, TP_perf_assign/__perf_xxx which changes the default values of __count/__task variables for perf_trace_buf_submit() is called "too late", after we already did perf_trace_buf_prepare(), and the optimization above can't work. So this patch simply embeds __perf_xxx() into TP_ARGS(), this way DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() can use the result of assignments hidden in "args" right after ftrace_get_offsets_##call() which is mostly trivial. This allows us to have the fast-path "__task != NULL" check at the start, see the next patch.

To simplify the review of the next patches: 1. We are going to reimplent __perf_task/counter and embedd them into TP_ARGS(). expand TRACE_EVENT(sched_stat_runtime) into DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() + DEFINE_EVENT(), this way they can use different TP_ARGS's. 2. Change perf_trace_##call() macro to do perf_fetch_caller_regs() right before perf_trace_buf_prepare(). This way it evaluates TP_ARGS() asap, the next patch explores this fact. Note: after 87f44bbc perf_trace_buf_prepare() doesn't need "struct pt_regs *regs", perhaps it makes sense to remove this argument. And perhaps we can teach perf_trace_buf_submit() to accept regs == NULL and do fetch_caller_regs(CALLER_ADDR1) in this case. 3. Cosmetic, but the typecast from "void*" buys nothing. It just adds the noise, remove it.

Each TRACE_EVENT() adds several helper functions. If two or more trace events share the same structure and print format, they can also share most of these helper functions and save a lot of space from duplicate code. This is why the DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() were created. Some events require a trigger to be called at registering and unregistering of the event and to do so they use TRACE_EVENT_FN(). If multiple events require a trigger, they currently have no choice but to use TRACE_EVENT_FN() as there's no DEFINE_EVENT_FN() available. This unfortunately causes a lot of wasted duplicate code created. By adding a DEFINE_EVENT_FN(), these events can still use a DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and then define their own triggers.

In order to let triggers enable or disable events, we need a 'soft' method for doing so. For example, if a function probe is added that lets a user enable or disable events when a function is called, that change must be done without taking locks or a mutex, and definitely it can't sleep. But the full enabling of a tracepoint is expensive. By adding a 'SOFT_DISABLE' flag, and converting the flags to be updated without the protection of a mutex (using set/clear_bit()), this soft disable flag can be used to allow critical sections to enable or disable events from being traced (after the event has been placed into "SOFT_MODE"). Some caveats though: The comm recorder (to map pids with a comm) can not be soft disabled (yet). If you disable an event with with a "soft" disable and wait a while before reading the trace, the comm cache may be replaced and you'll get a bunch of <...> for comms in the trace. Reading the "enable" file for an event that is disabled will now give you "0*" where the '*' denotes that the tracepoint is still active but the event itself is "disabled".

Pass the struct ftrace_event_file *ftrace_file to the trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() (new function that replaces the trace_current_buffer_lock_reserver()). The ftrace_file holds a pointer to the trace_array that is in use. In the case of multiple buffers with different trace_arrays, this allows different events to be recorded into different buffers.

The trace events for ftrace are all defined via global variables. The arrays of events and event systems are linked to a global list. This prevents multiple users of the event system (what to enable and what not to). By adding descriptors to represent the event/file relation, as well as to which trace_array descriptor they are associated with, allows for more than one set of events to be defined. Once the trace events files have a link between the trace event and the trace_array they are associated with, we can create multiple trace_arrays that can record separate events in separate buffers.

Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location). With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed. Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

A few events are interesting not only for a current task. For example, sched_stat_* events are interesting for a task which wakes up. For this reason, it will be good if such events will be delivered to a target task too. Now a target task can be set by using __perf_task(). The original idea and a draft patch belongs to Peter Zijlstra. I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods. These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by perf tools.

The kvm_emulate_insn tracepoint used __print_insn() for printing its instructions. However it makes the format of the event hard to parse as it reveals TP internals. Fortunately, kernel provides __print_hex for almost same purpose, we can use it instead of open coding it. The user-space can be changed to parse it later. That means raw kernel tracing will not be affected by this change: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # cat events/kvm/kvm_emulate_insn/format name: kvm_emulate_insn ID: 29 format: ... print fmt: "%x:%llx:%s (%s)%s", REC->csbase, REC->rip, __print_hex(REC->insn, REC->len), \ __print_symbolic(REC->flags, { 0, "real" }, { (1 << 0) | (1 << 1), "vm16" }, \ { (1 << 0), "prot16" }, { (1 << 0) | (1 << 2), "prot32" }, { (1 << 0) | (1 << 3), "prot64" }), \ REC->failed ?

Each event adds some points to its counters. By default it adds 1, and a number of points may be transmited in event's parameters. E.g. sched:sched_stat_runtime adds how long process has been running. But this functionality was broken by v2.6.31-rc5-392-gf413cdb8 and now the event's parameters doesn't affect on a number of points. TP_perf_assign isn't defined, so __perf_count(c) isn't executed and __count is always equal to 1.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

__print_flags() and __print_symbolic() use percpu trace_seq: 1) Its memory is allocated at compile time, it wastes memory if we don't use tracing. 2) It is percpu data and it wastes more memory for multi-cpus system. 3) It disables preemption when it executes its core routine "trace_seq_printf(s, "%s: ", #call);" and introduces latency.

Because kprobes and syscalls need special processing to register events, the class->reg() method was created to handle the differences. But instead of creating a default ->reg for perf and ftrace events, the code was scattered with: if (class->reg) class->reg(); else default_reg(); This is messy and can also lead to bugs. This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for the events allowing for the code to directly call the class->reg() without the condition.
