      tracing: Add and use generic set_trigger_filter() implementation · bac5fb97
      由 Tom Zanussi 提交于 
      Add a generic event_command.set_trigger_filter() op implementation and
have the current set of trigger commands use it - this essentially
gives them all support for filters.

Syntactically, filters are supported by adding 'if <filter>' just
after the command, in which case only events matching the filter will
invoke the trigger.  For example, to add a filter to an
enable/disable_event command:

    echo 'enable_event:system:event if common_pid == 999' > \
              .../othersys/otherevent/trigger

The above command will only enable the system:event event if the
common_pid field in the othersys:otherevent event is 999.

As another example, to add a filter to a stacktrace command:

    echo 'stacktrace if common_pid == 999' > \
                   .../somesys/someevent/trigger

The above command will only trigger a stacktrace if the common_pid
field in the event is 999.

The filter syntax is the same as that described in the 'Event
filtering' section of Documentation/trace/events.txt.

Because triggers can now use filters, the trigger-invoking logic needs
to be moved in those cases - e.g. for ftrace_raw_event_calls, if a
trigger has a filter associated with it, the trigger invocation now
needs to happen after the { assign; } part of the call, in order for
the trigger condition to be tested.

There's still a SOFT_DISABLED-only check at the top of e.g. the
ftrace_raw_events function, so when an event is soft disabled but not
because of the presence of a trigger, the original SOFT_DISABLED
behavior remains unchanged.

There's also a bit of trickiness in that some triggers need to avoid
being invoked while an event is currently in the process of being
logged, since the trigger may itself log data into the trace buffer.
Thus we make sure the current event is committed before invoking those
triggers.  To do that, we split the trigger invocation in two - the
first part (event_triggers_call()) checks the filter using the current
trace record; if a command has the post_trigger flag set, it sets a
bit for itself in the return value, otherwise it directly invoks the
trigger.  Once all commands have been either invoked or set their
return flag, event_triggers_call() returns.  The current record is
then either committed or discarded; if any commands have deferred
their triggers, those commands are finally invoked following the close
of the current event by event_triggers_post_call().

To simplify the above and make it more efficient, the TRIGGER_COND bit
is introduced, which is set only if a soft-disabled trigger needs to
use the log record for filter testing or needs to wait until the
current log record is closed.

The syscall event invocation code is also changed in analogous ways.

Because event triggers need to be able to create and free filters,
this also adds a couple external wrappers for the existing
create_filter and free_filter functions, which are too generic to be
made extern functions themselves.

      tracing: Add 'enable_event' and 'disable_event' event trigger commands · 7862ad18
      由 Tom Zanussi 提交于 
      Add 'enable_event' and 'disable_event' event_command commands.

enable_event and disable_event event triggers are added by the user
via these commands in a similar way and using practically the same
syntax as the analagous 'enable_event' and 'disable_event' ftrace
function commands, but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter
file, the enable_event and disable_event triggers are written to the
per-event 'trigger' files:

    echo 'enable_event:system:event' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger
    echo 'disable_event:system:event' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger

The above commands will enable or disable the 'system:event' trace
events whenever the othersys:otherevent events are hit.

This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the
command will be invoked:

    echo 'enable_event:system:event:N' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger
    echo 'disable_event:system:event:N' > .../othersys/otherevent/trigger

Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked.

The above commands will will enable or disable the 'system:event'
trace events whenever the othersys:otherevent events are hit, but only
N times.

This also makes the find_event_file() helper function extern, since
it's useful to use from other places, such as the event triggers code,
so make it accessible.

      tracing: Add 'snapshot' event trigger command · 93e31ffb
      由 Tom Zanussi 提交于 
      Add 'snapshot' event_command.  snapshot event triggers are added by
the user via this command in a similar way and using practically the
same syntax as the analogous 'snapshot' ftrace function command, but
instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the snapshot event
trigger is written to the per-event 'trigger' files:

    echo 'snapshot' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger

The above command will turn on snapshots for someevent i.e. whenever
someevent is hit, a snapshot will be done.

This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the
command will be invoked:

    echo 'snapshot:N' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger

Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked.

The above command will snapshot N times for someevent i.e. whenever
someevent is hit N times, a snapshot will be done.

Also adds a new tracing_alloc_snapshot() function - the existing
tracing_snapshot_alloc() function is a special version of
tracing_snapshot() that also does the snapshot allocation - the
snapshot triggers would like to be able to do just the allocation but
not take a snapshot; the existing tracing_snapshot_alloc() in turn now
also calls tracing_alloc_snapshot() underneath to do that allocation.

      tracing: Add basic event trigger framework · 85f2b082
      由 Tom Zanussi 提交于 
      Add a 'trigger' file for each trace event, enabling 'trace event
triggers' to be set for trace events.

'trace event triggers' are patterned after the existing 'ftrace
function triggers' implementation except that triggers are written to
per-event 'trigger' files instead of to a single file such as the
'set_ftrace_filter' used for ftrace function triggers.

The implementation is meant to be entirely separate from ftrace
function triggers, in order to keep the respective implementations
relatively simple and to allow them to diverge.

The event trigger functionality is built on top of SOFT_DISABLE
functionality.  It adds a TRIGGER_MODE bit to the ftrace_event_file
flags which is checked when any trace event fires.  Triggers set for a
particular event need to be checked regardless of whether that event
is actually enabled or not - getting an event to fire even if it's not
enabled is what's already implemented by SOFT_DISABLE mode, so trigger
mode directly reuses that.  Event trigger essentially inherit the soft
disable logic in __ftrace_event_enable_disable() while adding a bit of
logic and trigger reference counting via tm_ref on top of that in a
new trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() function.  Because the base
__ftrace_event_enable_disable() code now needs to be invoked from
outside trace_events.c, a wrapper is also added for those usages.

The triggers for an event are actually invoked via a new function,
event_triggers_call(), and code is also added to invoke them for
ftrace_raw_event calls as well as syscall events.

The main part of the patch creates a new trace_events_trigger.c file
to contain the trace event triggers implementation.

The standard open, read, and release file operations are implemented
here.

The open() implementation sets up for the various open modes of the
'trigger' file.  It creates and attaches the trigger iterator and sets
up the command parser.  If opened for reading set up the trigger
seq_ops.

The read() implementation parses the event trigger written to the
'trigger' file, looks up the trigger command, and passes it along to
that event_command's func() implementation for command-specific
processing.

The release() implementation does whatever cleanup is needed to
release the 'trigger' file, like releasing the parser and trigger
iterator, etc.

A couple of functions for event command registration and
unregistration are added, along with a list to add them to and a mutex
to protect them, as well as an (initially empty) registration function
to add the set of commands that will be added by future commits, and
call to it from the trace event initialization code.

also added are a couple trigger-specific data structures needed for
these implementations such as a trigger iterator and a struct for
trigger-specific data.

A couple structs consisting mostly of function meant to be implemented
in command-specific ways, event_command and event_trigger_ops, are
used by the generic event trigger command implementations.  They're
being put into trace.h alongside the other trace_event data structures
and functions, in the expectation that they'll be needed in several
trace_event-related files such as trace_events_trigger.c and
trace_events.c.

The event_command.func() function is meant to be called by the trigger
parsing code in order to add a trigger instance to the corresponding
event.  It essentially coordinates adding a live trigger instance to
the event, and arming the triggering the event.

Every event_command func() implementation essentially does the
same thing for any command:

   - choose ops - use the value of param to choose either a number or
     count version of event_trigger_ops specific to the command
   - do the register or unregister of those ops
   - associate a filter, if specified, with the triggering event

The reg() and unreg() ops allow command-specific implementations for
event_trigger_op registration and unregistration, and the
get_trigger_ops() op allows command-specific event_trigger_ops
selection to be parameterized.  When a trigger instance is added, the
reg() op essentially adds that trigger to the triggering event and
arms it, while unreg() does the opposite.  The set_filter() function
is used to associate a filter with the trigger - if the command
doesn't specify a set_filter() implementation, the command will ignore
filters.

Each command has an associated trigger_type, which serves double duty,
both as a unique identifier for the command as well as a value that
can be used for setting a trigger mode bit during trigger invocation.

The signature of func() adds a pointer to the event_command struct,
used to invoke those functions, along with a command_data param that
can be passed to the reg/unreg functions.  This allows func()
implementations to use command-specific blobs and supports code
re-use.

The event_trigger_ops.func() command corrsponds to the trigger 'probe'
function that gets called when the triggering event is actually
invoked.  The other functions are used to list the trigger when
needed, along with a couple mundane book-keeping functions.

This also moves event_file_data() into trace.h so it can be used
outside of trace_events.c.

      tracing: Add support for SOFT_DISABLE to syscall events · d562aff9
      由 Tom Zanussi 提交于 
      The original SOFT_DISABLE patches didn't add support for soft disable
of syscall events; this adds it.

Add an array of ftrace_event_file pointers indexed by syscall number
to the trace array and remove the existing enabled bitmaps, which as a
result are now redundant.  The ftrace_event_file structs in turn
contain the soft disable flags we need for per-syscall soft disable
accounting.

Adding ftrace_event_files also means we can remove the USE_CALL_FILTER
bit, thus enabling multibuffer filter support for syscall events.

      tracing: Update event filters for multibuffer · f306cc82
      由 Tom Zanussi 提交于 
      The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
filters in the multibuffer case:

Before:

  # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc > 8192
  # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
  # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc > 2048
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc > 2048

Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
the same event in tracing/events as it does above.

After:

  # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc > 8192
  # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
  # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc > 8192
  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
  bytes_alloc > 2048

We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
event_call-based filters.  For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.

The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces
it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as
appropriate).

      tracing: Add __tracepoint_string() to export string pointers · 102c9323
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      There are several tracepoints (mostly in RCU), that reference a string
pointer and uses the print format of "%s" to display the string that
exists in the kernel, instead of copying the actual string to the
ring buffer (saves time and ring buffer space).

But this has an issue with userspace tools that read the binary buffers
that has the address of the string but has no access to what the string
itself is. The end result is just output that looks like:

 rcu_dyntick:          ffffffff818adeaa 1 0
 rcu_dyntick:          ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
 rcu_dyntick:          ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
 rcu_utilization:      ffffffff8184333b
 rcu_utilization:      ffffffff8184333b

The above is pretty useless when read by the userspace tools. Ideally
we would want something that looks like this:

 rcu_dyntick:          Start 1 0
 rcu_dyntick:          End 0 140000000000000
 rcu_dyntick:          Start 140000000000000 0
 rcu_callback:         rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880037aff710 func=put_cred_rcu 0/4
 rcu_callback:         rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880078961980 func=file_free_rcu 0/5
 rcu_dyntick:          End 0 1

The trace_printk() which also only stores the address of the string
format instead of recording the string into the buffer itself, exports
the mapping of kernel addresses to format strings via the printk_format
file in the debugfs tracing directory.

The tracepoint strings can use this same method and output the format
to the same file and the userspace tools will be able to decipher
the address without any modification.

The tracepoint strings need its own section to save the strings because
the trace_printk section will cause the trace_printk() buffers to be
allocated if anything exists within the section. trace_printk() is only
used for debugging and should never exist in the kernel, we can not use
the trace_printk sections.

Add a new tracepoint_str section that will also be examined by the output
of the printk_format file.

      tracing: Add function-trace option to disable function tracing of latency tracers · 328df475
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      Currently, the only way to stop the latency tracers from doing function
tracing is to fully disable the function tracer from the proc file
system:

  echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled

This is a big hammer approach as it disables function tracing for
all users. This includes kprobes, perf, stack tracer, etc.

Instead, create a function-trace option that the latency tracers can
check to determine if it should enable function tracing or not.
This option can be set or cleared even while the tracer is active
and the tracers will disable or enable function tracing depending
on how the option was set.

Instead of using the proc file, disable latency function tracing with

  echo 0 > /debug/tracing/options/function-trace

      tracing: Add internal ftrace trace_puts() for ftrace to use · ca268da6
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      There's a few places that ftrace uses trace_printk() for internal
use, but this requires context (normal, softirq, irq, NMI) buffers
to keep things lockless. But the trace_puts() does not, as it can
write the string directly into the ring buffer. Make a internal helper
for trace_puts() and have the internal functions use that.

This way the extra context buffers are not used.

      tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracing · 09ae7234
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      The trace_printk() is extremely fast and is very handy as it can be
used in any context (including NMIs!). But it still requires scanning
the fmt string for parsing the args. Even the trace_bprintk() requires
a scan to know what args will be saved, although it doesn't copy the
format string itself.

Several times trace_printk() has no args, and wastes cpu cycles scanning
the fmt string.

Adding trace_puts() allows the developer to use an even faster
tracing method that only saves the pointer to the string in the
ring buffer without doing any format parsing at all. This will
help remove even more of the "Heisenbug" effect, when debugging.

Also fixed up the F_printk()s for the ftrace internal bprint and print events.

      tracing: Add alloc_snapshot kernel command line parameter · 55034cd6
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      If debugging the kernel, and the developer wants to use
tracing_snapshot() in places where tracing_snapshot_alloc() may
be difficult (or more likely, the developer is lazy and doesn't
want to bother with tracing_snapshot_alloc() at all), then adding

  alloc_snapshot

to the kernel command line parameter will tell ftrace to allocate
the snapshot buffer (if configured) when it allocates the main
tracing buffer.

I also noticed that ring_buffer_expanded and tracing_selftest_disabled
had inconsistent use of boolean "true" and "false" with "0" and "1".
I cleaned that up too.

      tracing: Have trace_array keep track if snapshot buffer is allocated · 45ad21ca
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      The snapshot buffer belongs to the trace array not the tracer that is
running. The trace array should be the data structure that keeps track
of whether or not the snapshot buffer is allocated, not the tracer
desciptor. Having the trace array keep track of it makes modifications
so much easier.

      tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure · 12883efb
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works
is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the
snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used
to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max
latency.

The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer
itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states
when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency
was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the
max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat.

This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure
called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data
pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred.

The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and
one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove
the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use
their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have
the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

      tracing: Clear all trace buffers when unloaded module event was used · 873c642f
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      Currently we do not know what buffer a module event was enabled in.
On unload, it is safest to clear all buffer instances, not just the
top level buffer.

Todo: Clear only the buffer that the event was used in. The
infrastructure is there to do this, but it makes the code a bit
more complex. Lets get the current code vetted before we add that.

      tracing: Add __per_cpu annotation to trace array percpu data pointer · 34ef61b1
      由 Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于 
      With the conversion of the data array to per cpu, sparse now complains
about the use of per_cpu_ptr() on the variable. But The variable is
allocated with alloc_percpu() and is fine to use. But since the structure
that contains the data variable does not annotate it as such, sparse
gives out a lot of false warnings.

      tracing: Use direct field, type and system names · 92edca07
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      The names used to display the field and type in the event format
files are copied, as well as the system name that is displayed.

All these names are created by constant values passed in.
If one of theses values were to be removed by a module, the module
would also be required to remove any event it created.

By using the strings directly, we can save over 100K of memory.

      tracing: Add rmdir to remove multibuffer instances · 0c8916c3
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      Add a method to the hijacked dentry descriptor of the
"instances" directory to allow for rmdir to remove an
instance of a multibuffer.

Example:

  cd /debug/tracing/instances
  mkdir hello
  ls
hello/
  rmdir hello
  ls

Like the mkdir method, the i_mutex is dropped for the instances
directory. The instances directory is created at boot up and can
not be renamed or removed. The trace_types_lock mutex is used to
synchronize adding and removing of instances.

I've run several stress tests with different threads trying to
create and delete directories of the same name, and it has stood
up fine.
