      bpf_trace: Make dependent on PERF_EVENTS · a31d82d8
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Arnd Bergmann reported:
      
        In my ARM randconfig tests, I'm getting a build error for
        newly added code in bpf_perf_event_read and bpf_perf_event_output
        whenever CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is disabled:
      
        kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c: In function 'bpf_perf_event_read':
        kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:203:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'oncpu'
        if (event->oncpu != smp_processor_id() ||
                 ^
        kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:204:11: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'pmu'
              event->pmu->count)
      
        This can happen when UPROBE_EVENT is enabled but KPROBE_EVENT
        is disabled. I'm not sure if that is a configuration we care
        about, otherwise we could prevent this case from occuring by
        adding Kconfig dependencies.
      
      Looking at this further, it's really that UPROBE_EVENT enables PERF_EVENTS.
      By just having BPF_EVENTS depend on PERF_EVENTS, then all is fine.

      tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to uprobes · 04a22fae
      Wang Nan 提交于
      By copying BPF related operation to uprobe processing path, this patch
      allow users attach BPF programs to uprobes like what they are already
      doing on kprobes.
      
      After this patch, users are allowed to use PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF on a
      uprobe perf event. Which make it possible to profile user space programs
      and kernel events together using BPF.
      
      Because of this patch, CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS should be selected by
      CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT to ensure trace_call_bpf() is compiled even if
      KPROBE_EVENT is not set.

      bpf: Fix the build on BPF_SYSCALL=y && !CONFIG_TRACING kernels, make it more configurable · e1abf2cc
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      So bpf_tracing.o depends on CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL - but that's not its only
      dependency, it also depends on the tracing infrastructure and on kprobes,
      without which it will fail to build with:
      
        In file included from kernel/trace/bpf_trace.c:14:0:
        kernel/trace/trace.h: In function ‘trace_test_and_set_recursion’:
        kernel/trace/trace.h:491:28: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘trace_recursion’
          unsigned int val = current->trace_recursion;
        [...]
      
      It took quite some time to trigger this build failure, because right now
      BPF_SYSCALL is very obscure, depends on CONFIG_EXPERT. So also make BPF_SYSCALL
      more configurable, not just under CONFIG_EXPERT.
      
      If BPF_SYSCALL, tracing and kprobes are enabled then enable the bpf_tracing
      gateway as well.
      
      We might want to make this an interactive option later on, although
      I'd not complicate it unnecessarily: enabling BPF_SYSCALL is enough of
      an indicator that the user wants BPF support.

      tracing: Add tracepoint benchmark tracepoint · 81dc9f0e
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      In order to help benchmark the time tracepoints take, a new config
      option is added called CONFIG_TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK. When this option
      is set a tracepoint is created called "benchmark:benchmark_event".
      When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
      goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
      run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
      it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
      data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
      will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
      The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
      to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
      "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
      write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
      
      As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
      we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.
      
      An example of the output:
      
           START
           first=3672 [COLD CACHED]
           last=632 first=3672 max=632 min=632 avg=316 std=446 std^2=199712

      ring-buffer: Add ring buffer startup selftest · 6c43e554
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      When testing my large changes to the ftrace system, there was
      a bug that looked like the ring buffer was dropping events.
      I wrote up a quick integrity checker of the ring buffer to
      see if it was.
      
      Although the bug ended up being something stupid I did in ftrace,
      and had nothing to do with the ring buffer, I figured if I spent
      the time to write up this test, I might as well include it in the
      kernel.
      
      I cleaned it up a bit, as the original version was rather ugly.
      Not saying this version is pretty, but it's a beauty queen
      compared to what I original wrote.
      
      To enable the start up test, set CONFIG_RING_BUFFER_STARTUP_TEST.
      
      Note, it runs for 10 seconds, so it will slow your boot time
      by at least 10 more seconds.
      
      What it does is documented in both the comments and the Kconfig
      help.

      tracing: Add config option to allow snapshot to swap per cpu · 0b85ffc2
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      When the preempt or irq latency tracers are enabled, they require
      the ring buffer to be able to swap the per cpu sub buffers between
      two main buffers. This adds a slight overhead to tracing as the
      trace recording needs to perform some checks to synchronize
      between recording and swaps that might be happening on other CPUs.
      
      The config RING_BUFFER_ALLOW_SWAP is set when a user of the ring
      buffer needs the "swap cpu" feature, otherwise the extra checks
      are not implemented and removed from the tracing overhead.
      
      The snapshot feature will swap per CPU if the RING_BUFFER_ALLOW_SWAP
      config is set. But that only gets set by things like OPROFILE
      and the irqs and preempt latency tracers.
      
      This config is added to let the user decide to include this feature
      with the snapshot agnostic from whether or not another user of
      the ring buffer sets this config.

      tracing: Enable snapshot when any latency tracer is enabled · 22cffc2b

      The snapshot utility is extremely useful, and does not add any more
      overhead in memory when another latency tracer is enabled. They use
      the snapshot underneath. There's no reason to hide the snapshot file
      when a latency tracer has been enabled in the kernel.
      
      If any of the latency tracers (irq, preempt or wakeup) is enabled
      then also select the snapshot facility.
      
      Note, snapshot can be enabled without the latency tracers enabled.

      ftrace: Update the kconfig for DYNAMIC_FTRACE · db05021d
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The prompt to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE (the ability to nop and
      enable function tracing at run time) had a confusing statement:
      
       "enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically"
      
      This was written before tracepoints were added to the kernel,
      but now that tracepoints have been added, this is very confusing
      and has confused people enough to give wrong information during
      presentations.
      
      Not only that, I looked at the help text, and it still references
      that dreaded daemon that use to wake up once a second to update
      the nop locations and brick NICs, that hasn't been around for over

      tracing: Make a snapshot feature available from userspace · debdd57f
      Hiraku Toyooka 提交于
      Ftrace has a snapshot feature available from kernel space and
      latency tracers (e.g. irqsoff) are using it. This patch enables
      user applictions to take a snapshot via debugfs.
      
      Add "snapshot" debugfs file in "tracing" directory.
      
        snapshot:
          This is used to take a snapshot and to read the output of the
          snapshot.
      
           # echo 1 > snapshot
      
          This will allocate the spare buffer for snapshot (if it is
          not allocated), and take a snapshot.
      
           # cat snapshot
      
          This will show contents of the snapshot.
      
           # echo 0 > snapshot
      
          This will free the snapshot if it is allocated.
      
          Any other positive values will clear the snapshot contents if
          the snapshot is allocated, or return EINVAL if it is not allocated.

      PM / tracing: remove deprecated power trace API · 43720bd6
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      The text in Documentation said it would be removed in 2.6.41;
      the text in the Kconfig said removal in the 3.1 release.  Either
      way you look at it, we are well past both, so push it off a cliff.
      
      Note that the POWER_CSTATE and the POWER_PSTATE are part of the
      legacy tracing API.  Remove all tracepoints which use these flags.
      As can be seen from context, most already have a trace entry via
      trace_cpu_idle anyways.
      
      Also, the cpufreq/cpufreq.c PSTATE one is actually unpaired, as
      compared to the CSTATE ones which all have a clear start/stop.
      As part of this, the trace_power_frequency also becomes orphaned,
      so it too is deleted.

      tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functions · 0d5c6e1c
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      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.

      ftrace: Remove selecting FRAME_POINTER with FUNCTION_TRACER · b732d439
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The function tracer will enable the -pg option with gcc, which requires
      that frame pointers. When FRAME_POINTER is defined in the kernel config
      it adds the gcc option -fno-omit-frame-pointer which causes some problems
      on some architectures. For those architectures, the FRAME_POINTER select
      was not set.
      
      When FUNCTION_TRACER was selected on these architectures that can not have
      -fno-omit-frame-pointer, the -pg option is still set. But when
      FRAME_POINTER is not selected, the kernel config would add the gcc option
      -fomit-frame-pointer. Adding this option is incompatible with -pg
      even on archs that do not need frame pointers with -pg.
      
      The answer to this was to just not add either -fno-omit-frame-pointer
      or -fomit-frame-pointer on these archs that want function tracing
      but do not set FRAME_POINTER.
      
      As it turns out, for archs that require frame pointers for function
      tracing, the same can be used. If gcc requires frame pointers with
      -pg, it will simply add it. The best thing to do is not select FRAME_POINTER
      when function tracing is selected, and let gcc add it if needed.
      
      Only add the -fno-omit-frame-pointer when something else selects
      FRAME_POINTER, but do not add -fomit-frame-pointer if function tracing
      is selected.

      perf: Clean up power events by introducing new, more generic ones · 25e41933
      Thomas Renninger 提交于
      Add these new power trace events:
      
       power:cpu_idle
       power:cpu_frequency
       power:machine_suspend
      
      The old C-state/idle accounting events:
        power:power_start
        power:power_end
      
      Have now a replacement (but we are still keeping the old
      tracepoints for compatibility):
      
        power:cpu_idle
      
      and
        power:power_frequency
      
      is replaced with:
        power:cpu_frequency
      
      power:machine_suspend is newly introduced.
      
      Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer
      (kernel/power/suspend.c) which will make use of it.
      
      the type= field got removed from both, it was never
      used and the type is differed by the event type itself.
      
      perf timechart userspace tool gets adjusted in a separate patch.

      ftrace: Rename config option HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT · cf4db259
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
      the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
      called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
      be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been
      renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since
      we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

      ftrace/x86: Add support for C version of recordmcount · 72441cb1
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds the support for the C version of recordmcount and
      compile times show ~ 12% improvement.
      
      After verifying this works, other archs can add:
      
       HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD
      
      in its Kconfig and it will use the C version of recordmcount
      instead of the perl version.

      tracing: Remove ksym tracer · 5d550467
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The ksym (breakpoint) ftrace plugin has been superseded by perf
      tools that are much more poweful to use the cpu breakpoints.
      This tracer doesn't bring more feature. It has been deprecated
      for a while now, lets remove it.

      x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code · faa4602e
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      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.
