      tracing/kprobes: Support "string" type · e09c8614
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Support string type tracing and printing in kprobe-tracer.
      
      This allows user to trace string data in kernel including __user data. Note
      that sometimes __user data may not be accessed if it is paged-out (sorry, but
      kprobes operation should be done in atomic, we can not wait for page-in).

      tracing: Combine event filter_active and enable into single flags field · 553552ce
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The filter_active and enable both use an int (4 bytes each) to
      set a single flag. We can save 4 bytes per event by combining the
      two into a single integer.

      This gives us another 5K in savings.
      
      The modification of both the enable and filter fields are done
      under the event_mutex, so it is still safe to combine the two.
      
      Note: Although Mathieu gave his Acked-by, he would like it documented
       that the reads of flags are not protected by the mutex. The way the
       code works, these reads will not break anything, but will have a
       residual effect. Since this behavior is the same even before this
       patch, describing this situation is left to another patch, as this
       patch does not change the behavior, but just brought it to Mathieu's
       attention.
      
      v2: Updated the event trace self test to for this change.

      Now that the trace_event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call
      structure, there is no need for the ftrace_event_call id field.
      The id field is the same as the trace_event type field.
      
      Removing the id and re-arranging the structure brings down the tracepoint

      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.

      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

      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.

      perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace events · c530665c
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers.
      Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted
      registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs()
      which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming
      we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case
      task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel
      thread was started.
      
      What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs,
      so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the
      sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other
      things.
      
      Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that.
      
      Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g
      Before:
      
              perf  [kernel]                   [k] __do_softirq

      After:
      
                  perf  [kernel]           [k] perf_tp_event

      The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having
      right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we
      want.
      
      Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs,
      let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval.

      Update kprobe tracing self test for new syntax (it supports

      tracing/kprobe: Drop function argument access syntax · 14640106
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Drop function argument access syntax, because the function
      arguments depend on not only architecture but also
      compile-options and function API. And now, we have perf-probe
      for finding register/memory assigned to each argument.

      Quoted from Ingo:
      
      | This reminds me - i think we should eliminate CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE -
      | it's an unnecessary Kconfig complication. If both PERF_EVENTS and
      | EVENT_TRACING is enabled we should expose generic tracepoints.
      |
      | Nor is it limited to event 'profiling', so it has become a misnomer as

      tracing/kprobes: Fix field creation's bad error handling · 822a6961
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      When we define the common event fields in kprobe, we invert the error
      handling and return immediately in case of success. Then we omit
      to define specific kprobes fields (ip and nargs), and specific
      kretprobes fields (func, ret_ip, nargs). And we only define them
      when we fail to create common fields.
      
      The most visible consequence is that we can't create filter for
      k(ret)probes specific fields.
      
      This patch re-invert the success/error handling to fix it.

      tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace event · ce71b9df
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are
      recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer
      with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from
      perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired
      early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check
      only once.
      
      Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from
      the trace events before submitting a trace.

      tracing, perf_events: Protect the buffer from recursion in perf · 444a2a3b
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the
      lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf
      trace events.
      
      Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through
      perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we
      can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock,
      and only that.
      
      This is because of a recursion inside perf.
      
      1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu
         buffer and submit it to perf.
      
      2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data
         using rcu_read_lock
      
      3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire
         event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the
         buffer to perf.
      
      4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it
      
      5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer
         has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then
         been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock
      
      Such scenario also happens with lock_release with
      rcu_read_unlock().
      
      We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop
      the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us
      lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other
      possible kind of recursion from perf in the future.
      
      This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the
      perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem.
