      tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacks · 38516ab5
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.
      
      The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
      parameter. For example:
      
      DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)
      
      Will create the register function:
      
      int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
                                      void *data);
      
      As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
      parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:
      
      void myprobe(void *data, int value)
      {
      }
      
      The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.
      
      This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
      with the function probe.
      
      	void mycallback(void *data, int value);
      
      	register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);
      
      Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
      before the args.
      
      A more detailed example:
      
        DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
      
        /* In the C file */
      
        DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));
      
        [...]
      
             trace_mytracepoint(status);
      
        /* In a file registering this tracepoint */
      
        int my_callback(void *data, int status)
        {
      	struct my_struct my_data = data;
      	[...]
        }
      
        [...]
      	my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
      	init_my_data(my_data);
      	register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
      
      The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
      as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
      to unregister the callback:
      
      	unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);
      
      Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
      no args. That is:
      
        DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());
      
      will cause an error.
      
      If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:
      
        DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);
      
      Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.
      
      This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:
      
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
      4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class
      4918492	1084612	 861512	6864616	 68bee8	vmlinux.tracepoint
      
      Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
      lays the ground work for decreasing it.
      
       v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.
      
       v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
           #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
           cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
           Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.
      
       v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
           all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
           This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.
      
           Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().
      
       v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
           and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
           do not need any arguments.

      tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer · e77405ad
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
      on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
      the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
      max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
      wrong buffer.
      
      This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
      buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
      in to the commit.

      ftrace: restructure tracing start/stop infrastructure · 9036990d
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: change where tracing is started up and stopped
      
      Currently, when a new tracer is selected via echo'ing a tracer name into
      the current_tracer file, the startup is only done if tracing_enabled is
      set to one. If tracing_enabled is changed to zero (by echo'ing 0 into
      the tracing_enabled file) a full shutdown is performed.
      
      The full startup and shutdown of a tracer can be expensive and the
      user can lose out traces when echo'ing in 0 to the tracing_enabled file,
      because the process takes too long. There can also be places that
      the user would like to start and stop the tracer several times and
      doing the full startup and shutdown of a tracer might be too expensive.
      
      This patch performs the full startup and shutdown when a tracer is
      selected. It also adds a way to do a quick start or stop of a tracer.
      The quick version is just a flag that prevents the tracing from
      taking place, but the overhead of the code is still there.
      
      For example, the startup of a tracer may enable tracepoints, or enable
      the function tracer.  The stop and start will just set a flag to
      have the tracer ignore the calls when the tracepoint or function trace
      is called.  The overhead of the tracer may still be present when
      the tracer is stopped, but no tracing will occur. Setting the tracer
      to the 'nop' tracer (or any other tracer) will perform the shutdown
      of the tracer which will disable the tracepoint or disable the
      function tracer.
      
      The tracing_enabled file will simply start or stop tracing.
      
      This change is all internal. The end result for the user should be the same
      as before. If tracing_enabled is not set, no trace will happen.
      If tracing_enabled is set, then the trace will happen. The tracing_enabled
      variable is static between tracers. Enabling  tracing_enabled and
      going to another tracer will keep tracing_enabled enabled. Same
      is true with disabling tracing_enabled.
      
      This patch will now provide a fast start/stop method to the users
      for enabling or disabling tracing.
      
      Note: There were two methods to the struct tracer that were never
       used: The methods start and stop. These were to be used as a hook
       to the reading of the trace output, but ended up not being
       necessary. These two methods are now used to enable the start
       and stop of each tracer, in case the tracer needs to do more than
       just not write into the buffer. For example, the irqsoff tracer
       must stop recording max latencies when tracing is stopped.

      Now that the ring buffer is reentrant, some of the ftrace tracers
      (sched_swich, debugging traces) can also be reentrant.
      
      Note: Never make the function tracer reentrant, that can cause

      ftrace: preempt disable over interrupt disable · 38697053
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      With the new ring buffer infrastructure in ftrace, I'm trying to make
      ftrace a little more light weight.
      
      This patch converts a lot of the local_irq_save/restore into
      preempt_disable/enable.  The original preempt count in a lot of cases
      has to be sent in as a parameter so that it can be recorded correctly.
      Some places were recording it incorrectly before anyway.
      
      This is also laying the ground work to make ftrace a little bit
      more reentrant, and remove all locking. The function tracers must
      still protect from reentrancy.
      
      Note: All the function tracers must be careful when using preempt_disable.
        It must do the following:
      
        resched = need_resched();
        preempt_disable_notrace();
        [...]
        if (resched)
      	preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace();
        else
      	preempt_enable_notrace();
      
      The reason is that if this function traces schedule() itself, the
      preempt_enable_notrace() will cause a schedule, which will lead
      us into a recursive failure.
      
      If we needed to reschedule before calling preempt_disable, we
      should have already scheduled. Since we did not, this is most
      likely that we should not and are probably inside a schedule
      function.
      
      If resched was not set, we still need to catch the need resched
      flag being set when preemption was off and the if case at the
      end will catch that for us.

      ftrace: move sched_switch enable after markers · 007c05d4
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      We have two markers now that are enabled on sched_switch. One that records
      the context switching and the other that records task wake ups. Currently
      we enable the tracing first and then set the markers. This causes some
      confusing traces:
      
      # tracer: sched_switch
      #
      #           TASK-PID   CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
      #              | |      |          |         |
             trace-cmd-3973  [00]   115.834817:   3973:120:R   +     3:  0:S
             trace-cmd-3973  [01]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     6:  0:S
             trace-cmd-3973  [02]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     9:  0:S
             trace-cmd-3973  [03]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +    12:  0:S
             trace-cmd-3973  [02]   115.834910:   3973:120:R   +     9:  0:S
                <idle>-0     [02]   115.834910:      0:140:R ==>  3973:120:R
      
      Here we see that trace-cmd with PID 3973 wakes up task 9 but the next line
      shows the idle task doing a context switch to task 3973.
      
      Enabling the tracing to _after_ the markers are set creates a much saner
      output:
      
      # tracer: sched_switch
      #
      #           TASK-PID   CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
