The flags variable is protected by the event_mutex when modifying, but the event_mutex is not held when reading the variable. This is due to the fact that the reads occur in critical sections where taking a mutex (or even a spinlock) is not wanted. But the two flags that exist (enable and filter_active) have the code written as such to handle the reads to not need a lock. The enable flag is used just to know if the event is enabled or not and its use is always under the event_mutex. Whether or not the event is actually enabled is really determined by the tracepoint being registered. The flag is just a way to let the code know if the tracepoint is registered. The filter_active is different. It is read without the lock. If it is set, then the event probes jump to the filter code. There can be a slight mismatch between filters available and filter_active. If the flag is set but no filters are available, the code safely jumps to a filter nop. If the flag is not set and the filters are available, then the filters are skipped. This is acceptable since filters are usually set before tracing or they are set by humans, which would not notice the slight delay that this causes. v2: Fixed typo: "cacheing" -> "caching" Reported-by: NMathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Acked-by: NMathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The filter_active and enable both use an int (4 bytes each) to set a single flag. We can save 4 bytes per event by combining the two into a single integer. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4894944 1018052 861512 6774508 675eec vmlinux.id 4894871 1012292 861512 6768675 674823 vmlinux.flags This gives us another 5K in savings. The modification of both the enable and filter fields are done under the event_mutex, so it is still safe to combine the two. Note: Although Mathieu gave his Acked-by, he would like it documented that the reads of flags are not protected by the mutex. The way the code works, these reads will not break anything, but will have a residual effect. Since this behavior is the same even before this patch, describing this situation is left to another patch, as this patch does not change the behavior, but just brought it to Mathieu's attention. v2: Updated the event trace self test to for this change.

Now that the trace_event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call structure, there is no need for the ftrace_event_call id field. The id field is the same as the trace_event type field.

Currently, every event has its own trace_event structure. This is fine since the structure is needed anyway. But the print function structure (trace_event_functions) is now separate. Since the output of the trace event is done by the class (with the exception of events defined by DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT), it makes sense to have the class define the print functions that all events in the class can use. This makes a bigger deal with the syscall events since all syscall events use the same class. The savings here is another 30K. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900382 1048964 861512 6810858 67ecea vmlinux.init 4900446 1049028 861512 6810986 67ed6a vmlinux.preprint 4895024 1023812 861512 6780348 6775bc vmlinux.print To accomplish this, and to let the class know what event is being printed, the event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call structure.

Multiple events may use the same method to print their data. Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions, the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure that will hold the way to print ouf the event. The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print function know what kind of event it should print. This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print their output. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900382 1048964 861512 6810858 67ecea vmlinux.init 4900446 1049028 861512 6810986 67ed6a vmlinux.preprint This change slightly increases the size but is needed for the next change. v3: Fix the branch tracer events to handle this change. v2: Fix the new function graph tracer event calls to handle this change.

The raw_init function pointer in the event is used to initialize various kinds of events. The type of initialization needed is usually classed to the kind of event it is. Two events with the same class will always have the same initialization function, so it makes sense to move this to the class structure. Perhaps even making a special system structure would work since the initialization is the same for all events within a system. But since there's no system structure (yet), this will just move it to the class. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields 4900382 1048964 861512 6810858 67ecea vmlinux.init The text grew very slightly, but this is a constant growth that happened with the changing of the C files that call the init code.

Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure. Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead of the individual events. The events of the same class would just hold duplicate information. After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs 4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields). This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created. Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT() so this should not be an issue. The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic so it should not be a issue. The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event. v2: Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list of fields for both enter and exit.

This patch removes the register functions of TRACE_EVENT() to enable and disable tracepoints. The registering of a event is now down directly in the trace_events.c file. The tracepoint_probe_register() is now called directly. The prototypes are no longer type checked, but this should not be an issue since the tracepoints are created automatically by the macros. If a prototype is incorrect in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, then other macros will catch it. The trace_event_class structure now holds the probes to be called by the callbacks. This removes needing to have each event have a separate pointer for the probe. To handle kprobes and syscalls, since they register probes in a different manner, a "reg" field is added to the ftrace_event_class structure. If the "reg" field is assigned, then it will be called for enabling and disabling of the probe for either ftrace or perf. To let the reg function know what is happening, a new enum (trace_reg) is created that has the type of control that is needed. With this new rework, the 82 kernel events and 618 syscall events has their footprint dramatically lowered: 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 4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs The size went from 6863829 to 6819176, that's a total of 44K in savings. With tracepoints being continuously added, this is critical that the footprint becomes minimal. v5: Added #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS around a reference to perf specific structure in trace_events.c. v4: Fixed trace self tests to check probe because regfunc no longer exists. v3: Updated to handle void *data in beginning of probe parameters. Also added the tracepoint: check_trace_callback_type_##call(). v2: Changed the callback probes to pass void * and typecast the value within the function.

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.

Rename perf_event_attr::precise to perf_event_attr::precise_ip and widen it to 2 bits. This new field describes the required precision of the PERF_SAMPLE_IP field: 0 - SAMPLE_IP can have arbitrary skid 1 - SAMPLE_IP must have constant skid 2 - SAMPLE_IP requested to have 0 skid 3 - SAMPLE_IP must have 0 skid And modify the Intel PEBS code accordingly. The PEBS implementation now supports up to precise_ip == 2, where we perform the IP fixup. Also s/PERF_RECORD_MISC_EXACT/&_IP/ to clarify its meaning, this bit should be set for each PERF_SAMPLE_IP field known to match the actual instruction triggering the event.

Currently migration_thread is serving three purposes - migration pusher, context to execute active_load_balance() and forced context switcher for expedited RCU synchronize_sched.

The three different roles of migration_thread() are splitted into three separate cpu_stop callbacks - migration_cpu_stop(), active_load_balance_cpu_stop() and synchronize_sched_expedited_cpu_stop() - and each use case now simply asks cpu_stop to execute the callback as necessary. synchronize_sched_expedited() was implemented with private preallocated resources and custom multi-cpu queueing and waiting logic, both of which are provided by cpu_stop. synchronize_sched_expedited_count is made atomic and all other shared resources along with the mutex are dropped. synchronize_sched_expedited() also implemented a check to detect cases where not all the callback got executed on their assigned cpus and fall back to synchronize_sched(). If called with cpu hotplug blocked, cpu_stop already guarantees that and the condition cannot happen; otherwise, stop_machine() would break. However, this patch preserves the paranoid check using a cpumask to record on which cpus the stopper ran so that it can serve as a bisection point if something actually goes wrong theree. Because the internal execution state is no longer visible, rcu_expedited_torture_stats() is removed. This patch also renames cpu_stop threads to from "stopper/%d" to "migration/%d". The names of these threads ultimately don't matter and there's no reason to make unnecessary userland visible changes. With this patch applied, stop_machine() and sched now share the same resources. stop_machine() is faster without wasting any resources and sched migration users are much cleaner.

Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop. As cpu stoppers are guaranteed to be available for all online cpus, stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed. With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the new implementation is much simpler. Asking the cpu_stop to execute the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug disabled is enough. stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are removed. The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very large machines. According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very large machines. cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online cpus and should have the same effect.

Implement a simplistic per-cpu maximum priority cpu monopolization mechanism. A non-sleeping callback can be scheduled to run on one or multiple cpus with maximum priority monopolozing those cpus. This is primarily to replace and unify RT workqueue usage in stop_machine and scheduler migration_thread which currently is serving multiple purposes. Four functions are provided - stop_one_cpu(), stop_one_cpu_nowait(), stop_cpus() and try_stop_cpus(). This is to allow clean sharing of resources among stop_cpu and all the migration thread users. One stopper thread per cpu is created which is currently named "stopper/CPU". This will eventually replace the migration thread and take on its name. * This facility was originally named cpuhog and lived in separate files but Peter Zijlstra nacked the name and thus got renamed to cpu_stop and moved into stop_machine.c. * Better reporting of preemption leak as per Peter's suggestion.

When more than one header is included under CREATE_TRACE_POINTS the DECLARE_TRACE() macro is not defined back to its original meaning and the second include will fail to initialize the TRACE_EVENT() and DECLARE_TRACE() correctly. To fix this the tracepoint.h file moves the define of DECLARE_TRACE() out of the #ifdef _LINUX_TRACEPOINT_H protection (just like the define of the TRACE_EVENT()). This way the define_trace.h will undef the DECLARE_TRACE() at the end and allow new headers to start from scratch. This patch also requires fixing the include/events/napi.h It currently uses DECLARE_TRACE() and should be converted to a TRACE_EVENT() format. But I'll leave that change to the authors of that file. But since the napi.h file depends on using the CREATE_TRACE_POINTS and does not define its own DEFINE_TRACE() it must use the define_trace.h method instead.

The ftrace.h file contains several functions as macros when the functions are disabled due to config options. This patch converts most of them to static inlines. There are two exceptions: register_ftrace_function() and unregister_ftrace_function() This is because their parameter "ops" must not be evaluated since code using the function is allowed to #ifdef out the creation of the parameter. This also fixes an error caused by recent changes: kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c: In function 'start_irqsoff_tracer': kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c:571: error: expected expression before 'do' Reported-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The breakpoint generic layer assumes that archs always know in advance the static number of address registers available to host breakpoints through the HBP_NUM macro. However this is not true for every archs. For example Arm needs to get this information dynamically to handle the compatiblity between different versions. To solve this, this patch proposes to drop the static HBP_NUM macro and let the arch provide the number of available slots through a new hw_breakpoint_slots() function. For archs that have CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS selected, it will be called once as the number of registers fits for instruction and data breakpoints together. For the others it will be called first to get the number of instruction breakpoint registers and another time to get the data breakpoint registers, the targeted type is given as a parameter of hw_breakpoint_slots().

There are two outstanding fashions for archs to implement hardware breakpoints. The first is to separate breakpoint address pattern definition space between data and instruction breakpoints. We then have typically distinct instruction address breakpoint registers and data address breakpoint registers, delivered with separate control registers for data and instruction breakpoints as well. This is the case of PowerPc and ARM for example. The second consists in having merged breakpoint address space definition between data and instruction breakpoint. Address registers can host either instruction or data address and the access mode for the breakpoint is defined in a control register. This is the case of x86 and Super H. This patch adds a new CONFIG_HAVE_MIXED_BREAKPOINTS_REGS config that archs can select if they belong to the second case. Those will have their slot allocation merged for instructions and data breakpoints. The others will have a separate slot tracking between data and instruction breakpoints.

The problem is in sctp_process_unk_param: if (NULL == *errp) *errp = sctp_make_op_error_space(asoc, chunk, ntohs(chunk->chunk_hdr->length)); if (*errp) { sctp_init_cause(*errp, SCTP_ERROR_UNKNOWN_PARAM, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length))); sctp_addto_chunk(*errp, WORD_ROUND(ntohs(param.p->length)), param.v); When we allocate an error chunk, we assume that the worst case scenario requires that we have chunk_hdr->length data allocated, which would be correct nominally, given that we call sctp_addto_chunk for the violating parameter. Unfortunately, we also, in sctp_init_cause insert a sctp_errhdr_t structure into the error chunk, so the worst case situation in which all parameters are in violation requires chunk_hdr->length+(sizeof(sctp_errhdr_t)*param_count) bytes of data.

When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing. This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus. Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we transform the existing sequence: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(), into the following: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_prepare(); } ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync(); for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to do the synchronize_sched(). The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter' memory and increments ->record_disabled. In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this ->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus. And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more. This makes openning the 'trace' file nearly instantaneous on a sparc64 Niagara2 box with 128 cpus tracing. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
