      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.

      for platforms that support a read access independently of read/write

      hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events · 24f1e32c
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
      perf events instances.
      
      Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
      register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..
      
      The new layering is now made as follows:
      
             ptrace       kgdb      ftrace   perf syscall
                \          |          /         /

                   Hardware debug registers
      
      Reasons of this rewrite:
      
      - Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
        implying an easier arch integration
      - More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
        events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)
      
      Impact:
      
      - New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
      - Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
        thread breakpoints references.
      
      Todo (in the order):
      
      - Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
        perf_bpcounter_event())
      - Support from perf tools
      
      Changes in v2:
      
      - Follow the perf "event " rename
      - The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
        weren't released when a task ended)
      - Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
        perf_event_attr.
      - Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
        asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
      - Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
      - Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch
      
      Changes in v3:
      
      - Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
        changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
        to the host.
      
      Changes in v4:
      
      - Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
      - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
        module
      - Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
        TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
        breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
        set when the guest used debug registers.
        (Waiting for a reliable optimization)
      
      Changes in v5:
      
      - Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
        linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
      - Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
        to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
        breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
        address registers.
      - Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
      - Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c
      
      Changes in v6:
      
      - Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
        error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

      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.

      tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to core · c44fc770
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
      But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
      that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
      syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
      that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.
      
      v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
          avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
          in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

      ftrace: add kernel command line graph function filtering · 369bc18f
      Stefan Assmann 提交于
      Add a command line parameter to allow limiting the function graphs
      that are traced on boot up from the given top-level callers , when
      ftrace=function_graph is specified.
      
      This patch adds the following command line option:
      ftrace_graph_filter=function-list
      
      Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter.

      tracing/kprobes: Add $ prefix to special variables · 405b2651
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Add $ prefix to the special variables(e.g. sa, rv) of kprobe-tracer.
      This resolves consistency issues between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe.
      
      The main goal is to avoid conflicts between local variable names of
      probed functions, used by perf probe, and special variables used
      in the kprobe event creation interface (stack values, etc...) and
      also available from perf probe.
      
      ie: we don't want rv (return value) to conflict with a local variable
      named rv in a probed function.
