      tracing: Make a snapshot feature available from userspace · debdd57f
      Hiraku Toyooka 提交于
      Ftrace has a snapshot feature available from kernel space and
      latency tracers (e.g. irqsoff) are using it. This patch enables
      user applictions to take a snapshot via debugfs.
      
      Add "snapshot" debugfs file in "tracing" directory.
      
        snapshot:
          This is used to take a snapshot and to read the output of the
          snapshot.
      
           # echo 1 > snapshot
      
          This will allocate the spare buffer for snapshot (if it is
          not allocated), and take a snapshot.
      
           # cat snapshot
      
          This will show contents of the snapshot.
      
           # echo 0 > snapshot
      
          This will free the snapshot if it is allocated.
      
          Any other positive values will clear the snapshot contents if
          the snapshot is allocated, or return EINVAL if it is not allocated.

      tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functions · 0d5c6e1c
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to
      wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work
      was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the
      time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may
      be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work
      will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI
      to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location).
      
      With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing
      the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used
      by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the
      normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed.

      ftrace: Remove selecting FRAME_POINTER with FUNCTION_TRACER · b732d439
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The function tracer will enable the -pg option with gcc, which requires
      that frame pointers. When FRAME_POINTER is defined in the kernel config
      it adds the gcc option -fno-omit-frame-pointer which causes some problems
      on some architectures. For those architectures, the FRAME_POINTER select
      was not set.
      
      When FUNCTION_TRACER was selected on these architectures that can not have
      -fno-omit-frame-pointer, the -pg option is still set. But when
      FRAME_POINTER is not selected, the kernel config would add the gcc option
      -fomit-frame-pointer. Adding this option is incompatible with -pg
      even on archs that do not need frame pointers with -pg.
      
      The answer to this was to just not add either -fno-omit-frame-pointer
      or -fomit-frame-pointer on these archs that want function tracing
      but do not set FRAME_POINTER.
      
      As it turns out, for archs that require frame pointers for function
      tracing, the same can be used. If gcc requires frame pointers with
      -pg, it will simply add it. The best thing to do is not select FRAME_POINTER
      when function tracing is selected, and let gcc add it if needed.
      
      Only add the -fno-omit-frame-pointer when something else selects
      FRAME_POINTER, but do not add -fomit-frame-pointer if function tracing
      is selected.

      tracing: Provide trace events interface for uprobes · f3f096cf
      Srikar Dronamraju 提交于
      Implements trace_event support for uprobes. In its current form
      it can be used to put probes at a specified offset in a file and
      dump the required registers when the code flow reaches the
      probed address.

      and %ax a register at the probed text address.  Here we are

      The config option used by archs to let the build system know that

      be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been

      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
      v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
      as Linus noticed it not so long ago.
      
      It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
      regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
      needed for perf either.
      
      Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
      was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
      much simpler approach.
      
      So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
      APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

      tracing: make testing syscall events a separate configuration · 1f5a6b45
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Parag noticed that the number of event tests has increased tremendously:
      
      grep "Testing event" dmesg.31rc9 |wc -l
      100
      
      grep "Testing event" dmesg.31git |wc -l
      1172
      
      This is due to the testing of every syscall event when ftrace self
      test is enabled. This adds a bit more time to kernel boot up and can
      affect development by slowing down the time it takes between reboots.
      
      This option makes the testing of the syscall events into a separate
      config, to still be able to test most of ftrace internals at boot up
      but not have to wait for all the syscall events to be tested.
      
      The syscall event testing only tests the enabling and disabling of
      the trace point, since the syscalls are not executed. What really needs
      to be done is to somehow have a userspace tool test the syscall tracepoints
      as well.

      tracing: Add kprobe-based event tracer · 413d37d1
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Add kprobes-based event tracer on ftrace.
      
      This tracer is similar to the events tracer which is based on Tracepoint
      infrastructure. Instead of Tracepoint, this tracer is based on kprobes
      (kprobe and kretprobe). It probes anywhere where kprobes can probe(this
       means, all functions body except for __kprobes functions).
      
      Similar to the events tracer, this tracer doesn't need to be activated
      via current_tracer, instead of that, just set probe points via
      /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events. And you can set filters on each
      probe events via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/<EVENT>/filter.
      
      This tracer supports following probe arguments for each probe.
      
        %REG  : Fetch register REG
        sN    : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0)
        sa    : Fetch stack address.
        @ADDR : Fetch memory at ADDR (ADDR should be in kernel)
        @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)
        aN    : Fetch function argument. (N >= 0)
        rv    : Fetch return value.
        ra    : Fetch return address.
        +|-offs(FETCHARG) : fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address.
      
      See Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt in the next patch for details.
      
      Changes from v13:
       - Support 'sa' for stack address.
       - Use call->data instead of container_of() macro.

      net: Temporarily backout SKB sources tracer. · 31ffe249
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Steven Rostedt has suggested that Neil work with the tracing
      folks, trying to use TRACE_EVENT as the mechanism for
      implementation.  And if that doesn't workout we can investigate
      other solutions such as that one which was tried here.
      
      This reverts the following 2 commits:
      
      5a165657
      ("net: skb ftracer - Add config option to enable new ftracer (v3)")
      
      9ec04da7
      ("net: skb ftracer - Add actual ftrace code to kernel (v3)")

      tracing: Rename FTRACE_SYSCALLS for tracepoints · 66700001
      Josh Stone 提交于
      s/HAVE_FTRACE_SYSCALLS/HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS/g
      s/TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE/TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT/g
      
      The syscall enter/exit tracing is no longer specific to just ftrace, so
      they now have names that reflect their tie to tracepoints instead.
