      tracing: Move print functions into event class · 80decc70
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Currently, every event has its own trace_event structure. This is
      fine since the structure is needed anyway. But the print function
      structure (trace_event_functions) is now separate. Since the output
      of the trace event is done by the class (with the exception of events
      defined by DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT), it makes sense to have the class
      define the print functions that all events in the class can use.
      
      This makes a bigger deal with the syscall events since all syscall events
      use the same class. The savings here is another 30K.

      To accomplish this, and to let the class know what event is being
      printed, the event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call
      structure. This should not be an issues since the event structure
      was created for each event anyway.

      tracing: Allow events to share their print functions · a9a57763
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
      Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
      the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
      that will hold the way to print ouf the event.
      
      The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
      function know what kind of event it should print.
      
      This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
      their output.

      tracing: Move raw_init from events to class · 0405ab80
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The raw_init function pointer in the event is used to initialize
      various kinds of events. The type of initialization needed is usually
      classed to the kind of event it is.
      
      Two events with the same class will always have the same initialization
      function, so it makes sense to move this to the class structure.
      
      Perhaps even making a special system structure would work since
      the initialization is the same for all events within a system.
      But since there's no system structure (yet), this will just move it
      to the class.
      
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig

      The text grew very slightly, but this is a constant growth that happened
      with the changing of the C files that call the init code.
      The bigger savings is the data which will be saved the more events share
      a class.

      tracing: Move fields from event to class structure · 2e33af02
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure.
      Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong
      to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead
      of the individual events. The events of the same class would just
      hold duplicate information.
      
      After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K:
      
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
      4900252	1057412	 861512	6819176	 680d68	vmlinux.regs
      4900375	1053380	 861512	6815267	 67fe23	vmlinux.fields
      
      Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files
      having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where
      new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is
      in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields).
      This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created.
      
      Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()
      with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But
      we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT()
      so this should not be an issue.
      
      The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic
      so it should not be a issue.
      
      The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual
      events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the
      fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and
      added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used
      to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just
      returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall
      events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event.
      
      v2:  Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list
           of fields for both enter and exit.

      tracing: Remove per event trace registering · 2239291a
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch removes the register functions of TRACE_EVENT() to enable
      and disable tracepoints. The registering of a event is now down
      directly in the trace_events.c file. The tracepoint_probe_register()
      is now called directly.
      
      The prototypes are no longer type checked, but this should not be
      an issue since the tracepoints are created automatically by the
      macros. If a prototype is incorrect in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, then
      other macros will catch it.
      
      The trace_event_class structure now holds the probes to be called
      by the callbacks. This removes needing to have each event have
      a separate pointer for the probe.
      
      To handle kprobes and syscalls, since they register probes in a
      different manner, a "reg" field is added to the ftrace_event_class
      structure. If the "reg" field is assigned, then it will be called for
      enabling and disabling of the probe for either ftrace or perf. To let
      the reg function know what is happening, a new enum (trace_reg) is
      created that has the type of control that is needed.
      
      With this new rework, the 82 kernel events and 618 syscall events
      has their footprint dramatically lowered:
      
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
      4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class
      4918492	1084612	 861512	6864616	 68bee8	vmlinux.tracepoint
      4900252	1057412	 861512	6819176	 680d68	vmlinux.regs
      
      The size went from 6863829 to 6819176, that's a total of 44K
      in savings. With tracepoints being continuously added, this is
      critical that the footprint becomes minimal.
      
      v5: Added #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS around a reference to perf
          specific structure in trace_events.c.
      
      v4: Fixed trace self tests to check probe because regfunc no longer
          exists.
      
      v3: Updated to handle void *data in beginning of probe parameters.
          Also added the tracepoint: check_trace_callback_type_##call().
      
      v2: Changed the callback probes to pass void * and typecast the
          value within the function.

      Add generic sys_ipc wrapper · baed7fc9
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall.  Except for
      s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
      
      There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
      and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
      long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
      it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters.  frv goes even
      further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
      is a pointer type everywhere.  The change from int to unsigned long for
      "third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
      in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
      issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
      maintainers looks over this in details.
      
      Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
      semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
      gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
      x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

      tracing: Fix ftrace_event_call alignment for use with gcc 4.5 · 86c38a31
      Jeff Mahoney 提交于
      GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to
       use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if
       some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't
       declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes.
      
       For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array.
       When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events
       section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the
       structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the
       structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer.
      
       This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures
       to 4 bytes.
      
       Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with
       gcc 4.5.
      
       It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it
       might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that
       automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one
       of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.

      net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall · a2e27255
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
      net stack entry/exit operations.
      
      Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
      optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.
      
      This takes into account comments made by:
      
      . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
        sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.
      
      . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
        works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.
      
        If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
        will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
        one) it has received so far.
      
      . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
        datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
        the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
        in the next call.
      
      This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
      where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
      every underlying recvmsg call.

      fs: change sys_truncate length parameter type · 4fd8da8d
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      For this system call user space passes a signed long length parameter,
      while the kernel side takes an unsigned long parameter and converts it
      later to signed long again.
      
      This has led to bugs in compat wrappers see e.g.  dd90bbd5 "powerpc: Add
      compat_sys_truncate".  The s390 compat wrapper for this functions is
      broken as well since it also performs zero extension instead of sign
      extension for the length parameter.
      
      In addition if hpa comes up with an automated way of generating
      compat wrappers it would generate a wrong one here.
      
      So change the length parameter from unsigned long to long.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      tracing/filters: Defer pred allocation · 8e254c1d
      Li Zefan 提交于
      init_preds() allocates about 5392 bytes of memory (on x86_32) for
      a TRACE_EVENT. With my config, at system boot total memory occupied
      is:
      
      	5392 * (642 + 15) == 3459KB
      
      642 == cat available_events | wc -l
      15 == number of dirs in events/ftrace
      
      That's quite a lot, so we'd better defer memory allocation util
      it's needed, that's when filter is used.

      tracing: Ftrace dynamic ftrace_event_call support · bd1a5c84
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Add dynamic ftrace_event_call support to ftrace. Trace engines can add
      new ftrace_event_call to ftrace on the fly. Each operator function of
      the call takes an ftrace_event_call data structure as an argument,
      because these functions may be shared among several ftrace_event_calls.
      
      Changes from v13:
       - Define remove_subsystem_dir() always (revirt a2ca5e03), because
         trace_remove_event_call() uses it.
       - Modify syscall tracer because of ftrace_event_call change.
