      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.

      vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users · fef20d9c
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
      make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.
      
      Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
      job from tracing time to output time.
      
      Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
      insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
      file.
      
      The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
      the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
      and faster to insert.
      Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
      with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.
      
      The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
      vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
      in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.
      
      Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
      possible common bits from these functions.
      The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
      they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
      is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
      other parts that could be worth factorized.
      
      Changes in V2:
      
      - Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
        a structure.
      
      Changes in v3:
      
      - Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
        printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
        Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
        avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
        changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
        It would be too risky.
      
      - Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).
      
      - Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p
      
      Changes in v4:
      
      - drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *
        (thanks to Vegard Nossum for having pointed this out).
