      tracing/function-graph-tracer: use the more lightweight local clock · 0012693a
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: decrease hangs risks with the graph tracer on slow systems
      
      Since the function graph tracer can spend too much time on timer
      interrupts, it's better now to use the more lightweight local
      clock. Anyway, the function graph traces are more reliable on a
      per cpu trace.

      tracing: have latency tracers set the latency format · e9d25fe6
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The latency tracers (irqsoff, preemptoff, preemptirqsoff, and wakeup)
      are pretty useless with the default output format. This patch makes them
      automatically enable the latency format when they are selected. They
      also record the state of the latency option, and if it was not enabled
      when selected, they disable it on reset.

      tracing: remove extra latency_trace method from trace structure · 5fd73f86
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: clean up
      
      The trace and latency_trace function pointers are identical for
      every tracer but the function tracer. The differences in the function
      tracer are trivial (latency output puts paranthesis around parent).
      
      This patch removes the latency_trace pointer and all prints will
      now just use the trace output function pointer.

      tracing: add latency output format option · c032ef64

      With the removal of the latency_trace file, we lost the ability
      to see some of the finer details in a trace. Like the state of
      interrupts enabled, the preempt count, need resched, and if we
      are in an interrupt handler, softirq handler or not.
      
      This patch simply creates an option to bring back the old format.

      the latency_trace file operations.

      Impact: fix trace read to conform to standards
      
      Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso and H. Peter Anvin brought to my attention
      that a userspace read should not return -EFAULT if it succeeded in
      copying anything. It should only return -EFAULT if it failed to copy
      at all.
      
      This patch modifies the check of copy_from_user and updates the return
      code appropriately.

      ring-buffer: fix timestamp in partial ring_buffer_page_read · 4f3640f8
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      If a partial ring_buffer_page_read happens, then some of the
      incremental timestamps may be lost. This patch writes the
      recent timestamp into the page that is passed back to the caller.
      
      A partial ring_buffer_page_read is where the full page would not
      be written back to the user, and instead, just part of the page
      is copied to the user. A full page would be a page swap with the
      ring buffer and the timestamps would be correct.

      tracing: add cpu_file intialization for ftrace_dump · e543ad76
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: fix to ftrace_dump output corruption
      
      The commit: b04cc6b1
        tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files
      
      added a new field to the iterator called cpu_file. This was a handle
      to differentiate between the per cpu trace output files and the
      all cpu "trace" file. The all cpu "trace" file required setting this
      to TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU.
      
      The problem is that the ftrace_dump sets up its own iterator but was
      not updated to handle this change. The result was only CPU 0 printing
      out on crash and a lot of "<0>"'s also being printed.

      x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole · 5b101740
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
      ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
      call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.
      
      In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
      the wrong system call number table.  The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
      instead of TIF_IA32.  Here is an example exploit:
      
      	/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64
      
      	   There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.
      
      	   The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
      	   be any chmod call).  The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
      	   stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.
      
      	   A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
      	   fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.

      The trace_seq functions may be used separately outside of the ftrace

      tracing: add TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL to record complex entries · d20e3b03
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Tom Zanussi pointed out that the simple TRACE_FIELD was not enough to
      record trace data that required memcpy. This patch addresses this issue
      by adding a TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL. The format is similar to TRACE_FIELD
      but looks like so:
      
        TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(type_item, item, cmd)
      
      What TRACE_FIELD gave was:
      
        TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
      
      The TRACE_FIELD would be used in declaring a structure:
      
        struct {
      	type	item;
        };
      
      And later assign it via:
      
        entry->item = assign;
      
      What TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL gives us is:
      
      In the declaration of the structure:
      
        struct {
      	type_item;
        };
      
      And the assignment:
      
        cmd;
      
      This change log will explain the one example used in the patch:
      
       TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch,
      	TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
      		struct task_struct *next),
      	TPARGS(rq, prev, next),
      	TPFMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d",
      	      prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid),
      	TRACE_STRUCT(
      		TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid)
      		TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio)
      		TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN],
      				    next_comm,
      				    TPCMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm,
      						 next->comm,
      						 TASK_COMM_LEN)))
      		TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid)
      		TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio)
      	),
      	TPRAWFMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d")
      	);
      
       The struct will be create as:
      
        struct {
      	pid_t		prev_pid;
      	int		prev_prio;
      	char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];
      	pid_t		next_pid;
      	int		next_prio;
        };
      
      Note the TRACE_ENTRY in the cmd part of TRACE_SPECIAL. TRACE_ENTRY will
      be set by the tracer to point to the structure inside the trace buffer.
      
        entry->prev_pid	= prev->pid;
        entry->prev_prio	= prev->prio;
        memcpy(entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
        entry->next_pid	= next->pid;
        entry->next_prio	= next->prio

      tracing: add raw fast tracing interface for trace events · fd994989
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds the interface to enable the C style trace points.
      In the directory /debugfs/tracing/events/subsystem/event
      We now have three files:
      
       enable : values 0 or 1 to enable or disable the trace event.
      
       available_types: values 'raw' and 'printf' which indicate the tracing
             types available for the trace point. If a developer does not
             use the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro and just uses the TRACE_FORMAT
             macro, then only 'printf' will be available. This file is
             read only.
      
       type: values 'raw' or 'printf'. This indicates which type of tracing
             is active for that trace point. 'printf' is the default and
             if 'raw' is not available, this file is read only.
      
       # echo raw > /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/type
       # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/enable

      tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure · c32e827b
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: lower overhead tracing
      
      The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points
      that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required
      a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability
      to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took
      a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000
      nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered
      too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as
      possible.
      
      Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based
      on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using
      STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros.
      
      I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation
      that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint
      locations.
      
      This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"
      approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers
      needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it
      all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is
      tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be
      maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify.
      
      The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
      a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros
      if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event
      tracer.)
      
      They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code
      the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf.
      
      So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest
      possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility
      in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not
      sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
      more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.
      
      Here's what usage looks like:
      
        TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
      	TPPROTO(proto),
      	TPARGS(args),
      	TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
      	TRACE_STUCT(
      		TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
      		TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
      			[...]
      	),
      	TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
      	);
      
      Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
      uses.
      
       name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
       proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
       args: the args in the proto type
       fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
       fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt
      
       TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
       Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD
      
        TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
      
       type: the C type of item.
       item: the name of the item in the stucture
       assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback
      
       raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
        the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT
      
       An example of this would be:
      
       TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
      	TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
      	TPARGS(rq, p, success),
      	TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
      	      p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
      	TRACE_STRUCT(
      		TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
      		TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
      	),
      	TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
      	);
      
       This creates us a unique struct of:
      
       struct {
      	pid_t		pid;
      	int		success;
       };
      
       And the way the call back would assign these values would be:
      
      	entry->pid = p->pid;
      	entry->success = success;
      
      The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done
      via macro magic in the event tracer.  Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is
      created, the developer will then have a faster method to record
      into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.
      
      The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h
      
      Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this
      nice idea.

      tracing: add interface to write into current tracer buffer · ef5580d0
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Right now all tracers must manage their own trace buffers. This was
      to enforce tracers to be independent in case we finally decide to
      allow each tracer to have their own trace buffer.
      
      But now we are adding event tracing that writes to the current tracer's
      buffer. This adds an interface to allow events to write to the current
      tracer buffer without having to manage its own. Since event tracing
      has no "tracer", and is just a way to hook into any other tracer.

      tracing: add subsystem level to trace events · 6ecc2d1c
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      If a trace point header defines TRACE_SYSTEM, then it will add the
      following trace points into that event system.
      
      If include/trace/irq_event_types.h has:
      
       #define TRACE_SYSTEM irq
      
      at the top and
      
       #undef TRACE_SYSTEM
      
      at the bottom, then a directory "irq" will be created in the
      /debug/tracing/events directory. Inside that directory will contain the
      two trace points that are defined in include/trace/irq_event_types.h.
      
      Only adding the above to irq and not to sched, we get:
      
       # ls /debug/tracing/events/
      irq                     sched_process_exit  sched_signal_send  sched_wakeup_new
      sched_kthread_stop      sched_process_fork  sched_switch
      sched_kthread_stop_ret  sched_process_free  sched_wait_task
      sched_migrate_task      sched_process_wait  sched_wakeup
      
       # ls /debug/tracing/events/irq
      irq_handler_entry  irq_handler_exit
      
      If we add #define TRACE_SYSTEM sched to the trace/sched_event_types.h
      then the rest of the trace events will be put in a sched directory
      within the events directory.
      
      I've been playing with this idea of the subsystem for a while, but
      recently Tom Zanussi posted some patches to lkml that included this
      method. Tom's approach was clean and got me to finally put some effort
      to clean up the event trace points.
      
      Thanks to Tom Zanussi for demonstrating how nice the subsystem
      method is.

      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: clean up
      
      To further facilitate the ease of adding trace points for developers, this
      patch creates include/trace/trace_events.h and
      include/trace/trace_event_types.h.
      
      The former file will hold the trace/<type>.h files and the latter will hold
      the trace/<type>_event_types.h files.
      
      To create new tracepoints and to have them automatically
      appear in the event tracer, a developer makes the trace/<type>.h file
      which includes <linux/tracepoint.h> and the trace/<type>_event_types.h file.
      
      The trace/<type>_event_types.h file will hold the TRACE_FORMAT
      macros.
      
      Then add the trace/<type>.h file to trace/trace_events.h,
      and add the trace/<type>_event_types.h to the trace_event_types.h file.
      
      No need to modify files elsewhere.
