      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: 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/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:

      tracing/filters: allow on-the-fly filter switching · 0a19e53c
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched
      on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of
      previous versions.
      
      It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which
      does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of
      the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are
      allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization.
      
      Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions
      currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately
      switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of
      the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently
      executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're
      currently using.
      
      In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied
      into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none()
      functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new
      filter.  In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a
      previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the
      filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*.  In
      that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the
      filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_*
      function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false
      positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds.
      
      So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad
      match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with
      that, IMHO.
      
      The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists
      are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start.  They could
      probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is
      completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another
      one to do that later on.
      
      Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events,
      currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded
      str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

      tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events · e1112b4d
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats
      exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT.  It also hooks up all the tracers
      that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can
      also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism.
      
      When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me
      into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were -
      I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file
      bug reports. ;-)
      
      One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the
      sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if
      you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output
      from the events without filters on them can make it look like the
      filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing
      what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing.
      
      The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function
      tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the
      unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g.
      cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in
      awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the
      trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file.
      If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before
      they disappear.
      
      Changes from v1:
      
      As suggested by Frederic Weisbecker:
      
      - get rid of externs in functions
      - added unlikely() to filter_check_discard()

      tracing: add per-subsystem filtering · cfb180f3
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      This patch adds per-subsystem filtering to the event tracing subsystem.
      
      It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each subsystem directory.  This file
      can be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the
      current set of filters set for that subsystem.
      
      Basically what it does is propagate the filter down to each event
      contained in the subsystem.  If a particular event doesn't have a field
      with the name specified in the filter, it simply doesn't get set for
      that event.  You can verify whether or not the filter was set for a
      particular event by looking at the filter file for that event.
      
      As with per-event filters, compound expressions are supported, echoing
      '0' to the subsystem's filter file clears all filters in the subsystem,
      etc.

      tracing: add per-event filtering · 7ce7e424
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      This patch adds per-event filtering to the event tracing subsystem.
      
      It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each event directory.  This file can
      be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the current
      set of filters set for that event.
      
      Basically, any field listed in the 'format' file for an event can be
      filtered on (including strings, but not yet other array types) using
      either matching ('==') or non-matching ('!=') 'predicates'.  A
      'predicate' can be either a single expression:
      
       # echo pid != 0 > filter
      
       # cat filter
       pid != 0
      
      or a compound expression of up to 8 sub-expressions combined using '&&'
      or '||':
      
       # echo comm == Xorg > filter
       # echo "&& sig != 29" > filter
      
       # cat filter
       comm == Xorg
       && sig != 29
      
      Only events having field values matching an expression will be available
      in the trace output; non-matching events are discarded.
      
      Note that a compound expression is built up by echoing each
      sub-expression separately - it's not the most efficient way to do
      things, but it keeps the parser simple and assumes that compound
      expressions will be relatively uncommon.  In any case, a subsequent
      patch introducing a way to set filters for entire subsystems should
      mitigate any need to do this for lots of events.
      
      Setting a filter without an '&&' or '||' clears the previous filter
      completely and sets the filter to the new expression:
      
       # cat filter
       comm == Xorg
       && sig != 29
      
       # echo comm != Xorg
      
       # cat filter
       comm != Xorg
      
      To clear a filter, echo 0 to the filter file:
      
       # echo 0 > filter
       # cat filter
       none
      
      The limit of 8 predicates for a compound expression is arbitrary - for
      efficiency, it's implemented as an array of pointers to predicates, and
      8 seemed more than enough for any filter...

      tracing: add run-time field descriptions for event filtering · cf027f64
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      This patch makes the field descriptions defined for event tracing
      available at run-time, for the event-filtering mechanism introduced
      in a subsequent patch.
      
      The common event fields are prepended with 'common_' in the format
      display, allowing them to be distinguished from the other fields
      that might internally have same name and can therefore be
      unambiguously used in filters.

      tracing: fix leak in event_format_read() · c269fc8c
      Tom Zanussi 提交于
      Impact: fix memory leak
      
      If event_format_read() exits early due to nonzero ppos, the
      previous kmalloc doesn't get freed - might as well do the
      check before the kmalloc and avoid the problem.

      tracing: do not allow modifying the ftrace events via the event files · 40e26815
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: fix to prevent crash on calling NULL function pointer
      
      The ftrace internal records have their format exported via the event
      system under the ftrace subsystem. These are only for exporting the
      format to allow binary readers to be able to parse them in a binary
      output.
      
      The ftrace subsystem events can only be enabled via the ftrace tracers
      and do not have a registering function. The event files expect the
      event record to have registering function and will call it directly.
      Passing in a ftrace subsystem event will cause the kernel to crash
      because it will execute a NULL pointer.
      
      This patch prevents the ftrace subsystem from being viewable to the
      event enabling files.

      tracing: new format for specialized trace points · da4d0302
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: clean up and enhancement
      
      The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro looks quite ugly and is limited in its
      ability to save data as well as to print the record out. Working with
      Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to
      the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old
      macro, and is more obvious to what it does.
      
      Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the
      sched_switch trace point.
      
      The old method looked like this:
      
       TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch,
              TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
                      struct task_struct *next),
              TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next),
              TP_FMT("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,
                                          TP_CMD(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)
              ),
              TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d")
              );
      
      The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields.
      
      The new method:
      
       /*
        * Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler:
        *
        * (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events,
        *        but used by the latency tracer plugin. )
        */
       TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch,
      
      	TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
      		 struct task_struct *next),
      
      	TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next),
      
      	TP_STRUCT__entry(
      		__array(	char,	prev_comm,	TASK_COMM_LEN	)
      		__field(	pid_t,	prev_pid			)
      		__field(	int,	prev_prio			)
      		__array(	char,	next_comm,	TASK_COMM_LEN	)
      		__field(	pid_t,	next_pid			)
      		__field(	int,	next_prio			)
      	),
      
      	TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]",
      		__entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio,
      		__entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio),
      
      	TP_fast_assign(
      		memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
      		__entry->prev_pid	= prev->pid;
      		__entry->prev_prio	= prev->prio;
      		memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
      		__entry->next_pid	= next->pid;
      		__entry->next_prio	= next->prio;
      	)
       );
      
      This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts:
      
       TP_PROTO:        the proto type of the trace point
       TP_ARGS:         the arguments of the trace point
       TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer
       TP_printk:       the printk format
       TP_fast_assign:  the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer
      
      The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the
      ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of
      an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record
      to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records
      in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data
      from the trace file.
      
      The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function,
      where the __entry is the handle to the record.

      tracing: add format files for ftrace default entries · 770cb243
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: allow user apps to read binary format of basic ftrace entries
      
      Currently, only defined raw events export their formats so a binary
      reader can parse them. There's no reason that the default ftrace entries
      can't export their formats.
      
      This patch adds a subsystem called "ftrace" in the events directory
      that includes the ftrace entries for basic ftrace recorded items.
      
      These only have three files in the events directory:
      
       type             : printf
       available_types  : printf
       format           : format for the event entry
      
      For example:
      
       # cat /debug/tracing/events/ftrace/wakeup/format
      name: wakeup
      ID: 3
      format:
              field:unsigned char type;       offset:0;       size:1;
              field:unsigned char flags;      offset:1;       size:1;
              field:unsigned char preempt_count;      offset:2;       size:1;
              field:int pid;  offset:4;       size:4;
              field:int tgid; offset:8;       size:4;
      
              field:unsigned int prev_pid;    offset:12;      size:4;
              field:unsigned char prev_prio;  offset:16;      size:1;
              field:unsigned char prev_state; offset:17;      size:1;
              field:unsigned int next_pid;    offset:20;      size:4;
              field:unsigned char next_prio;  offset:24;      size:1;
              field:unsigned char next_state; offset:25;      size:1;
              field:unsigned int next_cpu;    offset:28;      size:4;
