      ftrace: add cpu annotation for function graph tracer · 437f24fb

      Impact: enhancement for function graph tracer
      
      When run on a SMP box, the function graph tracer is confusing because
      it shows the different CPUS as changes in the trace.
      
      This patch adds the annotation of 'CPU[###]' where ### is a three digit
      number. The output will look similar to this:
      
      CPU[001]     dput() {
      CPU[000] } 726
      CPU[001]     } 487
      CPU[000] do_softirq() {
      CPU[001]   } 2221
      CPU[000]   __do_softirq() {
      CPU[000]     __local_bh_disable() {
      CPU[001]   unroll_tree_refs() {
      CPU[000]     } 569
      CPU[001]   } 501
      CPU[000]     rcu_process_callbacks() {
      CPU[001]   kfree() {
      
      What makes this nice is that now you can grep the file and produce
      readable format for a particular CPU.
      
       # cat /debug/tracing/trace > /tmp/trace
       # grep '^CPU\[000\]' /tmp/trace > /tmp/trace0
       # grep '^CPU\[001\]' /tmp/trace > /tmp/trace1
      
      Will give you:
      
       # head /tmp/trace0

      tracing/function-return-tracer: set a more human readable output · 287b6e68
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: feature
      
      This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing.
      For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry
      and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack.
      
      The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against
      the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch.
      
      Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at
      some locations.
      We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this
      way of processing is much more simpler.
      
      2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep
      calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed
      braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function.
      If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to
      find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth.
      
      I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value
      can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are.
      I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print
      eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part).
      
      Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the
      high part of eax could contain junk values...
      
      Here is an example of trace:
      
      sys_read() {
        fget_light() {
        } 526
        vfs_read() {

      tracing/function-return-tracer: add the overrun field · 0231022c
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
      
      We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
      "20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
      measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
      for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
      do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
      /debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
      right.
      
      As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.

      tracing/function-return-tracer: support for dynamic ftrace on function return tracer · e7d3737e
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      This patch adds the support for dynamic tracing on the function return tracer.
      The whole difference with normal dynamic function tracing is that we don't need
      to hook on a particular callback. The only pro that we want is to nop or set
      dynamically the calls to ftrace_caller (which is ftrace_return_caller here).
      
      Some security checks ensure that we are not trying to launch dynamic tracing for
      return tracing while normal function tracing is already running.
      
      An example of trace with getnstimeofday set as a filter:
      
      ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (2283 ns)
      ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1396 ns)

      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail
      
      This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed.
      A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie:
      -ENOMEM) if it fails.
      
      If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The
      tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the
      error from the init callback.
      
      Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

      tracing: add a tracer to catch execution time of kernel functions · 15e6cb36
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: add new tracing plugin which can trace full (entry+exit) function calls
      
      This tracer uses the low level function return ftrace plugin to
      measure the execution time of the kernel functions.
      
      The first field is the caller of the function, the second is the
      measured function, and the last one is the execution time in
      nanoseconds.
      
      - v3:
      
      - HAVE_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER have been added. Each arch that support ftrace return
        should enable it.
      - ftrace_return_stub becomes ftrace_stub.
      - CONFIG_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER depends now on CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
      - Return traces printing can be used for other tracers on trace.c
      - Adapt to the new tracing API (no more ctrl_update callback)
      - Correct the check of "disabled" during insertion.
      - Minor changes...
