      ring-buffer: add design document · 8b2c70d1
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      This adds the design document for the ring buffer and also
explains how it is designed to have lockless writes.

      ring-buffer: make lockless · 77ae365e
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless
buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since
we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that
must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs).

The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the
tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu
buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head
page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer.
That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags.

The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest
significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives
us play to put in flags to their pointers.

bit 0: set when the page is a head page
bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode)

cmpxchg is used to update the pointer.

When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head,
in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward.
It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2.
Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the
page from the buffer.

The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with
disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too).

After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to
manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the
comments of the code.

 Changes in version 2:
  - Let reader reset entries value of header page.
  - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test.
  - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update
  - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop
  - add mask in rb_is_reader_page

      ring-buffer: make the buffer a true circular link list · 3adc54fa
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      This patch changes the ring buffer data pages from using a link list
head pointer, to making each buffer page point to another buffer page
and never back to a "head".

This makes the handling of the ring buffer less complex, since the
traversing of the ring buffer pages no longer needs to account for the
head pointer.

This change also is needed to make the ring buffer lockless.

  Changes in version 2:

  - Added change that Lai Jiangshan mentioned.

  I'm not sure whether these 4 lines:
	bpage = list_entry(pages.next, struct buffer_page, list);
	list_del_init(&bpage->list);
	cpu_buffer->pages = &bpage->list;

	list_splice(&pages, cpu_buffer->pages);
  equal to these 2 lines:
 	cpu_buffer->pages = pages.next;
 	list_del(&pages);

  If there are equivalent, I think the second one
  are simpler. It may be not a really necessarily cleanup.

  What I asked is: if there are equivalent, could you use these two line:
 	cpu_buffer->pages = pages.next;
	list_del(&pages);
]

      ring-buffer: Make it generally available · 1155de47
      由 Paul Mundt 提交于 
      In hunting down the cause for the hwlat_detector ring buffer spew in
my failed -next builds it became obvious that folks are now treating
ring_buffer as something that is generic independent of tracing and thus,
suitable for public driver consumption.

Given that there are only a few minor areas in ring_buffer that have any
reliance on CONFIG_TRACING or CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER, provide stubs for
those and make it generally available.
