      ftrace: Remove FTRACE_FL_FAILED flag · 45a4a237
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Since we disable all function tracer processing if we detect
      that a modification of a instruction had failed, we do not need
      to track that the record has failed. No more ftrace processing
      is allowed, and the FTRACE_FL_FAILED flag is pointless.
      
      Removing this flag simplifies some of the code, but some ftrace_disabled
      checks needed to be added or move around a little.

      ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplug · 868baf07
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
      stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
      All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
      tasks.
      
      On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
      when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
      not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
      existed when the cpu went down.
      
      ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
      that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
      have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
      ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
      starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
      though one already existed for it.
      
      The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
      function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
      Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
      which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
      separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
      per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
      ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
      ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
      ret_stack.

      tracing: Convert nop macros to static inlines · 4dbf6bc2
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The ftrace.h file contains several functions as macros when the
      functions are disabled due to config options. This patch converts
      most of them to static inlines.
      
      There are two exceptions:
      
        register_ftrace_function() and unregister_ftrace_function()
      
      This is because their parameter "ops" must not be evaluated since
      code using the function is allowed to #ifdef out the creation of
      the parameter.
      
      This also fixes an error caused by recent changes:

      tracing: Dump either the oops's cpu source or all cpus buffers · cecbca96
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
      dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.
      
      It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
      plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.
      
      Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
      opps, most of the time it is our main interest.
      
      This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.
      
      The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
      the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
      will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.
      
      Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
      echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
      behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.

      Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
      v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
      as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
      
      It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
      regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
      needed for perf either.
      
      Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
      was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
      much simpler approach.
      
      So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
      APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

      function-graph: add stack frame test · 71e308a2
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
      from function code, we would like to detect that.
      
      An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
      function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
      when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
      this purpose.
      
      This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
      frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.
      
      There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
      few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
      return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
      not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
      to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
      graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
      this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
      was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.
      
      This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.
      
      This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
      specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
      the new prototype.
      
      Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
      This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
      used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

      tracing: add same level recursion detection · 261842b7
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The tracing infrastructure allows for recursion. That is, an interrupt
      may interrupt the act of tracing an event, and that interrupt may very well
      perform its own trace. This is a recursive trace, and is fine to do.
      
      The problem arises when there is a bug, and the utility doing the trace
      calls something that recurses back into the tracer. This recursion is not
      caused by an external event like an interrupt, but by code that is not
      expected to recurse. The result could be a lockup.
      
      This patch adds a bitmask to the task structure that keeps track
      of the trace recursion. To find the interrupt depth, the following
      algorithm is used:
      
        level = hardirq_count() + softirq_count() + in_nmi;
      
      Here, level will be the depth of interrutps and softirqs, and even handles
      the nmi. Then the corresponding bit is set in the recursion bitmask.
      If the bit was already set, we know we had a recursion at the same level
      and we warn about it and fail the writing to the buffer.
      
      After the data has been committed to the buffer, we clear the bit.
      No atomics are needed. The only races are with interrupts and they reset
      the bitmask before returning anywy.

      ftrace: use module notifier for function tracer · 93eb677d
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called
      before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks
      modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code
      is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF.
      
      To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented
      the hooks as calls directly from the module code.
      
      After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up
      notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes
      the use of the notify safe with ftrace.
      
      Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply
      removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify
      any code.
      
      This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency
      in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex.

      tracing: move function profiler data out of function struct · 493762fc
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: reduce size of memory in function profiler
      
      The function profiler originally introduces its counters into the
      function records itself. There is 20 thousand different functions on
      a normal system, and that is adding 20 thousand counters for profiling
      event when not needed.
      
      A normal run of the profiler yields only a couple of thousand functions
      executed, depending on what is being profiled. This means we have around
      18 thousand useless counters.
      
      This patch rectifies this by moving the data out of the function
      records used by dynamic ftrace. Data is preallocated to hold the functions
      when the profiling begins. Checks are made during profiling to see if
      more recorcds should be allocated, and they are allocated if it is safe
      to do so.
      
      This also removes the dependency from using dynamic ftrace, and also
      removes the overhead by having it enabled.

      The most hit functions are listed first. Functions that are not
      hit are not listed.
      
      This feature depends on and uses dynamic function tracing. When the
      function profiling is disabled, no overhead occurs. But it still
      takes up around 300KB to hold the data, thus it is not recomended
      to keep it enabled for systems low on memory.
      
      When a '1' is echoed into the function_profile_enabled file, the
      counters for is function is reset back to zero. Thus you can see what
      functions are hit most by different programs.

      tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of trace_bprintk() · 769b0441
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: faster and lighter tracing
      
      Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser
      memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop
      the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(),
      which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to
      trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use
      trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries.
      
      Some changes result of this:
      
      - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't
        work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation
        of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated
        in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file
        trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module
        management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c
      
      - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries.
      
      - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats
        constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for
        developers.
      
      - etc...
      
      V2:
      
      - Rebase against last changes
      - Fix mispell on the changelog
      
      V3:
      
      - Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h)

      tracing: infrastructure for supporting binary record · 1427cdf0
      Lai Jiangshan 提交于
      Impact: save on memory for tracing
      
      Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry,
      struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary
      event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events.
      A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it.
      
      So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure
      is for this purpose.

      ftrace: rename _hook to _probe · b6887d79
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: clean up
      
      Ingo Molnar did not like the _hook naming convention used by the
      select function tracer. Luis Claudio R. Goncalves suggested using
      the "_probe" extension. This patch implements the change of
      calling the functions and variables "_hook" and replacing them
      with "_probe".

      ftrace: trace different functions with a different tracer · 59df055f
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: new feature
      
      Currently, the function tracer only gives you an ability to hook
      a tracer to all functions being traced. The dynamic function trace
      allows you to pick and choose which of those functions will be
      traced, but all functions being traced will call all tracers that
      registered with the function tracer.
      
      This patch adds a new feature that allows a tracer to hook to specific
      functions, even when all functions are being traced. It allows for
      different functions to call different tracer hooks.
      
      The way this is accomplished is by a special function that will hook
      to the function tracer and will set up a hash table knowing which
      tracer hook to call with which function. This is the most general
      and easiest method to accomplish this. Later, an arch may choose
      to supply their own method in changing the mcount call of a function
      to call a different tracer. But that will be an exercise for the
      future.
      
      To register a function:
      
       struct ftrace_hook_ops {
      	void			(*func)(unsigned long ip,
      					unsigned long parent_ip,
      					void **data);
      	int			(*callback)(unsigned long ip, void **data);
      	void			(*free)(void **data);
       };
      
       int register_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops,
      				  void *data);
      
      glob is a simple glob to search for the functions to hook.
      ops is a pointer to the operations (listed below)
      data is the default data to be passed to the hook functions when traced
      
      ops:
       func is the hook function to call when the functions are traced
       callback is a callback function that is called when setting up the hash.
         That is, if the tracer needs to do something special for each
         function, that is being traced, and wants to give each function
         its own data. The address of the entry data is passed to this
         callback, so that the callback may wish to update the entry to
         whatever it would like.
       free is a callback for when the entry is freed. In case the tracer
         allocated any data, it is give the chance to free it.
      
      To unregister we have three functions:
      
        void
        unregister_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops,
      				void *data)
      
      This will unregister all hooks that match glob, point to ops, and
      have its data matching data. (note, if glob is NULL, blank or '*',
      all functions will be tested).
      
        void
        unregister_ftrace_function_hook_func(char *glob,
      				 struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops)
      
      This will unregister all functions matching glob that has an entry
      pointing to ops.
      
        void unregister_ftrace_function_hook_all(char *glob)
      
      This simply unregisters all funcs.
