While testing syscall tracepoints posted by Jason, I found 3 entries were missing when reading available_events. The output size of available_events is < 4 pages, which means we lost 1 entry per page. The cause is, it's wrong to increment @pos in s_start(). Actually there's another bug here -- reading avaiable_events/set_events can race with module unload: # cat available_events | s_start() | s_stop() | | # rmmod foo.ko s_start() | call = list_entry(m->private) | @call might be freed and accessing it will lead to crash.

If we enable a trace event alone without any tracer running (such as function tracer, sched switch tracer, etc...) it can't output enough task command information. We need to use the tracing_{start/stop}_cmdline_record() helpers which are designed to keep track of cmdlines for any tasks that were scheduled during the tracing.

The system enabling of events uses the same code as the set_event file. It passes in the name of the system to the parser and that will enable all the events that has that system as a name. The problem is that it will also enable events with the same name as the system. If you have system name foo, and system name bar, but within the system bar, there exists an event called foo. By setting the system name foo, you will also be enabling the event foo in the system bar. This is not an expected result. The solution is to pass in "foo:*", which will only enable the system foo and not events called foo.

With the current event directory, you can only enable individual events. The file debugfs/tracing/set_event is used to be able to enable or disable several events at once. But that can still be awkward. This patch adds hierarchical enabling of events. That is, each directory in debugfs/tracing/events has an "enable" file. This file can enable or disable all events within the directory and below. # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable will enable all events. # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/sched/enable will enable all events in the sched subsystem. # echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/events/enable # echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/events/irq/enable will enable all events, but then disable just the irq subsystem events. When reading one of these enable files, there are four results: 0 - all events this file affects are disabled 1 - all events this file affects are enabled X - there is a mixture of events enabled and disabled ? - this file does not affect any event Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Li Zefan found that there's a race using the event ids of events and modules. When a module is loaded, an event id is incremented. We only have 16 bits for event ids (65536) and there is a possible (but highly unlikely) race that we could load and unload a module that registers events so many times that the event id counter overflows. When it overflows, it then restarts and goes looking for available ids. An id is available if it was added by a module and released. The race is if you have one module add an id, and then is removed. Another module loaded can use that same event id. But if the old module still had events in the ring buffer, the new module's call back would get bogus data. At best (and most likely) the output would just be garbage. But if the module for some reason used pointers (not recommended) then this could potentially crash. The safest thing to do is just reset the ring buffer if a module that registered events is removed.

Replace the current event parser hack with a better one. Filters are no longer specified predicate by predicate, but all at once and can use parens and any of the following operators: numeric fields: ==, !=, <, <=, >, >= string fields: ==, != predicates can be combined with the logical operators: &&, || examples: "common_preempt_count > 4" > filter "((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || sig == 17) && comm != bash" > filter If there was an error, the erroneous string along with an error message can be seen by looking at the filter e.g.: ((sig >= 10 && sig < 15) || dsig == 17) && comm != bash ^ parse_error: Field not found Currently the caret for an error always appears at the beginning of the filter; a real position should be used, but the error message should be useful even without it. To clear a filter, '0' can be written to the filter file. Filters can also be set or cleared for a complete subsystem by writing the same filter as would be written to an individual event to the filter file at the root of the subsytem. Note however, that if any event in the subsystem lacks a field specified in the filter being set, the set will fail and all filters in the subsytem are automatically cleared. This change from the previous version was made because using only the fields that happen to exist for a given event would most likely result in a meaningless filter. Because the logical operators are now implemented as predicates, the maximum number of predicates in a filter was increased from 8 to 16.

The new filter comparison ops need to be able to distinguish between signed and unsigned field types, so add an is_signed flag/param to the event field struct/trace_define_fields(). Also define a simple macro, is_signed_type() to determine the signedness at compile time, used in the trace macros. If the is_signed_type() macro won't work with a specific type, a new slightly modified version of TRACE_FIELD() called TRACE_FIELD_SIGN(), allows the signedness to be set explicitly.

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.

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.

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.

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: Running tests on trace events: Testing event kfree_skb: OK Testing event kmalloc: OK Testing event kmem_cache_alloc: OK Testing event kmalloc_node: OK Testing event kmem_cache_alloc_node: OK Testing event kfree: OK Testing event kmem_cache_free: OK Testing event irq_handler_exit: OK Testing event irq_handler_entry: OK Testing event softirq_entry: OK Testing event softirq_exit: OK Testing event lock_acquire: OK Testing event lock_release: OK Testing event sched_kthread_stop: OK Testing event sched_kthread_stop_ret: OK Testing event sched_wait_task: OK Testing event sched_wakeup: OK Testing event sched_wakeup_new: OK Testing event sched_switch: OK Testing event sched_migrate_task: OK Testing event sched_process_free: OK Testing event sched_process_exit: OK Testing event sched_process_wait: OK Testing event sched_process_fork: OK Testing event sched_signal_send: OK Running tests on trace event systems: Testing event system skb: OK Testing event system kmem: OK Testing event system irq: OK Testing event system lockdep: OK Testing event system sched: OK Running tests on all trace events: Testing all events: OK [ folded in: tracing: add #include <linux/delay.h> to fix build failure in test_work() This build failure occured on a few rare configs: kernel/trace/trace_events.c: In function ‘test_work’: kernel/trace/trace_events.c:975: error: implicit declaration of function ‘udelay’ kernel/trace/trace_events.c:980: error: implicit declaration of function ‘msleep’ delay.h is included in way too many other headers, hiding cases where new usage is added without header inclusion.

This change will allow modules to add their tracing events to the list as well. Note, this change alone does not permit modules to use the TRACE_EVENT macros, but the change is needed for them to eventually do so. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

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.

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() Signed-off-by: NTom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: fix crash (hang) when using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT filter files filters are only hooked up to the tracepoint events defined using TRACE_EVENT but not the tracers that use TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT, such as ftrace. Do not display the filter files at all for TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events for the time being.
