      tracing/events: make modules have their own file_operations structure · 701970b3
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      For proper module reference counting, the file_operations that modules use
      must have the "owner" field set to the module. Unfortunately, the trace events
      use share file_operations. The same file_operations are used by all both
      kernel core and all modules.
      
      This patch makes the modules allocate their own file_operations and
      copies the functions from the core kernel. This allows those file
      operations to be owned by the module.
      
      Care is taken to free this code on module unload.
      
      Thanks to Greg KH for reminding me that file_operations must be owned
      by the module to have reference counting take place.

      tracing/events: reuse trace event ids after overflow · 060fa5c8
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      With modules being able to add trace events, and the max trace event
      counter is 16 bits (65536) we can overflow the counter easily
      with a simple while loop adding and removing modules that contain
      trace events.
      
      This patch links together the registered trace events and on overflow
      searches for available trace event ids. It will still fail if
      over 65536 events are registered, but considering that a typical
      kernel only has 22000 functions, 65000 events should be sufficient.

      RB_MAX_SMALL_DATA = 28bytes is too small for most tracers, it wastes

      tracing: add size checks for exported ftrace internal structures · 75db37d2
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The events exported by TRACE_EVENT are automated and are guaranteed
      to be correct when used.
      
      The internal ftrace structures on the other hand are more manually
      exported. These require the ftrace maintainer to make sure they
      are up to date.
      
      This patch adds a size check to help flag when a type changes in
      an internal ftrace data structure, and the update needs to be reflected
      in the export.
      
      If a export is incorrect, then the only harm is that the user space
      tools will not know how to correctly read the internal structures of
      ftrace.

      tracing: increase size of number of possible events · 89ec0dee
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      With the new event tracing registration, we must increase the number
      of events that can be registered. Currently the type field is only
      one byte, which leaves us only 256 possible events.
      
      Since we do not save the CPU number in the tracer anymore (it is determined
      by the per cpu ring buffer that is used) we have an extra byte to use.
      
      This patch increases the size of type from 1 byte (256 events) to
      2 bytes (65,536 events).
      
      It also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE if we exceed that limit.

      tracing/wakeup: move access to wakeup_cpu into spinlock · 9be24414

                      return;

              /* The task we are waiting for is waking up */
              data = wakeup_trace->data[wakeup_cpu];
      
      On initialization, wakeup_task is NULL and wakeup_cpu -1. This code
      is not under a lock. If wakeup_task is set on another CPU as that
      task is waking up, we can see the wakeup_task before wakeup_cpu is
      set. If we read wakeup_cpu while it is still -1 then we will have
      a bad data pointer.
      
      This patch moves the reading of wakeup_cpu within the protection of
      the spinlock used to protect the writing of wakeup_cpu and wakeup_task.

      ring-buffer: only warn on wrap if buffer is bigger than two pages · 3554228d
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      On boot up, to save memory, ftrace allocates the minimum buffer
      which is two pages. Ftrace also goes through a series of tests
      (when configured) on boot up. These tests can fill up a page within
      a single interrupt.
      
      The ring buffer also has a WARN_ON when it detects that the buffer was
      completely filled within a single commit (other commits are allowed to
      be nested).
      
      Combine the small buffer on start up, with the tests that can fill more
      than a single page within an interrupt, this can trigger the WARN_ON.
      
      This patch makes the WARN_ON only happen when the ring buffer consists
      of more than two pages.

      tracing: use recursive counter over irq level · aa18efb2
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Althought using the irq level (hardirq_count, softirq_count and in_nmi)
      was nice to detect bad recursion right away, but since the counters are
      not atomically updated with respect to the interrupts, the function tracer
      might trigger the test from an interrupt handler before the hardirq_count
      is updated. This will trigger a false warning.
      
      This patch converts the recursive detection to a simple counter.
      If the depth is greater than 16 then the recursive detection will trigger.
      16 is more than enough for any nested interrupts.

       - trace_recursive_unlock() on buffer commit
      
      However sometimes, we don't commit but discard on entry
      to the buffer, ie: in case of filter checking.
      
      Then we must also unlock the recursion protection on discard time,
      otherwise the tracing gets definitely deactivated and a warning
      is raised spuriously, such as:

      tracing/core: Add current context on tracing recursion warning · e057a5e5
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      In case of tracing recursion detection, we only get the stacktrace.
      But the current context may be very useful to debug the issue.
      
      This patch adds the softirq/hardirq/nmi context with the warning
      using lockdep context display to have a familiar output.
      
      v2: Use printk_once()
      v3: drop {hardirq,softirq}_context which depend on lockdep,
          only keep what is part of current->trace_recursion,
          sufficient to debug the warning source.

      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.

      tracing/events: add startup tests for events · e6187007
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      As events start to become popular, and the new way to add tracing
      infrastructure into ftrace, it is important to catch any problems
      that might happen with a mistake in the TRACE_EVENT macro.
      
      This patch introduces a startup self test on the registered trace
      events. Note, it can only do a generic test, any type of testing that
      needs more involement is needed to be implemented by the tracepoint
      creators.
      
      The test goes down one by one enabling a trace point and running
      some random tasks (random in the sense that I just made them up).
      Those tasks are creating threads, grabbing mutexes and spinlocks
      and using workqueues.
      
      After testing each event individually, it does the same test after
      enabling each system of trace points. Like sched, irq, lockdep.
      
      Then finally it enables all tracepoints and performs the tasks again.
      The output to the console on bootup will look like this when everything
      works:

      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.

      blktrace: fix context-info when mixed-using blk tracer and trace events · f3948f88

      When current tracer is set to blk tracer, TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO is
      unset, but actually context-info is printed:
      
          pdflush-431   [000]   821.181576:   8,0    P   N [pdflush]
      
      And then if we enable TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO:
      
          # echo context-info > trace_options
      
      We'll see context-info printed twice. What's worse, when we use blk
      tracer and trace events at the same time, we'll see no context-info
      for trace events at all:
      
          jbd2_commit_logging: dev dm-0:8 transaction 333227
          jbd2_end_commit: dev dm-0:8 transaction 333227 head 332814

      This patch adds blk_tracer->set_flags(), and context-info flag is unset
      only when we set the output to classic mode.
      
      Note after this patch, one should unset context-info explicitly if he
      wants to get binary output that can be parsed by blkparse:
      
          # echo nocontext-info > trace_options

      Though one can specify '-d /dev/sda1' when using blktrace, it still
      traces the whole sda.
      
      To support per-partition tracing, when we start tracing, we initialize
      bt->start_lba and bt->end_lba to the start and end sector of that
      partition.
      
      Note some actions are per device, thus we don't filter 0-sector events.
