      ftrace: use dynamic patching for updating mcount calls · d61f82d0
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch replaces the indirect call to the mcount function
      pointer with a direct call that will be patched by the
      dynamic ftrace routines.
      
      On boot up, the mcount function calls the ftace_stub function.
      When the dynamic ftrace code is initialized, the ftrace_stub
      is replaced with a call to the ftrace_record_ip, which records
      the instruction pointers of the locations that call it.
      
      Later, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine and patch all
      the locations to nops.
      
      When a ftrace is enabled, the original calls to mcount will now
      be set top call ftrace_caller, which will do a direct call
      to the registered ftrace function. This direct call is also patched
      when the function that should be called is updated.
      
      All patching is performed by a kstop_machine routine to prevent any
      type of race conditions that is associated with modifying code
      on the fly.

      ftrace: add ftrace_enabled sysctl to disable mcount function · b0fc494f
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds back the sysctl ftrace_enabled. This time it is
      defaulted to on, if DYNAMIC_FTRACE is configured. When ftrace_enabled
      is disabled, the ftrace function is set to the stub return.
      
      If DYNAMIC_FTRACE is also configured, on ftrace_enabled = 0,
      the registered ftrace functions will all be set to jmps, but no more
      new calls to ftrace recording (used to find the ftrace calling sites)
      will be called.

      ftrace: dynamic enabling/disabling of function calls · 3d083395
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds a feature to dynamically replace the ftrace code
      with the jmps to allow a kernel with ftrace configured to run
      as fast as it can without it configured.
      
      The way this works, is on bootup (if ftrace is enabled), a ftrace
      function is registered to record the instruction pointer of all
      places that call the function.
      
      Later, if there's still any code to patch, a kthread is awoken
      (rate limited to at most once a second) that performs a stop_machine,
      and replaces all the code that was called with a jmp over the call
      to ftrace. It only replaces what was found the previous time. Typically
      the system reaches equilibrium quickly after bootup and there's no code
      patching needed at all.
      
      e.g.
      
        call ftrace  /* 5 bytes */
      
      is replaced with
      
        jmp 3f  /* jmp is 2 bytes and we jump 3 forward */
      3:
      
      When we want to enable ftrace for function tracing, the IP recording
      is removed, and stop_machine is called again to replace all the locations
      of that were recorded back to the call of ftrace.  When it is disabled,
      we replace the code back to the jmp.
      
      Allocation is done by the kthread. If the ftrace recording function is
      called, and we don't have any record slots available, then we simply
      skip that call. Once a second a new page (if needed) is allocated for
      recording new ftrace function calls.  A large batch is allocated at
      boot up to get most of the calls there.
      
      Because we do this via stop_machine, we don't have to worry about another
      CPU executing a ftrace call as we modify it. But we do need to worry
      about NMI's so all functions that might be called via nmi must be
      annotated with notrace_nmi. When this code is configured in, the NMI code
      will not call notrace.

      ftrace: trace preempt off critical timings · 6cd8a4bb
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Add preempt off timings. A lot of kernel core code is taken from the RT patch
      latency trace that was written by Ingo Molnar.
      
      This adds "preemptoff" and "preemptirqsoff" to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers
      
      Now instead of just tracing irqs off, preemption off can be selected
      to be recorded.
      
      When this is selected, it shares the same files as irqs off timings.
      One can either trace preemption off, irqs off, or one or the other off.
      
      By echoing "preemptoff" into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer, recording
      of preempt off only is performed. "irqsoff" will only record the time
      irqs are disabled, but "preemptirqsoff" will take the total time irqs
      or preemption are disabled. Runtime switching of these options is now
      supported by simpling echoing in the appropriate trace name into
      /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer.

      ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timings · 81d68a96
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings
      (how long interrupts are disabled for).
      
       "irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers
      
      Note:
        tracing_max_latency
          also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs).
         (default to large number so one must start latency tracing)
      
        tracing_thresh
          threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off
          is detected to be longer than stated here.
          If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency
          is ignored.
      
      Here's an example of a trace with ftrace_enabled = 0

           if set to other than zero, a log will be recorded
           for every wakeup that takes longer than the number
           entered in here (usecs for all counters)

      ftrace: function tracer · 1b29b018
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This is a simple trace that uses the ftrace infrastructure. It is
      designed to be fast and small, and easy to use. It is useful to
      record things that happen over a very short period of time, and
      not to analyze the system in general.
      
       Updates:
      
        available_tracers
           "function" is added to this file.
      
        current_tracer
          To enable the function tracer:
      
            echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
      
           To disable the tracer:
      
             echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
      
      The output of the function_trace file is as follows
      
        "echo noverbose > /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl"

      ftrace: latency tracer infrastructure · bc0c38d1
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch
      does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will
      be used by later patches.
      
      If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files
      to the debugfs:
      
       The root tracing directory:
      
        /debugfs/tracing/
      
      This patch also adds the following files:
      
        available_tracers
           list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are
           available. Looking into this file only shows
           "none" which is used to unregister all tracers.
      
        current_tracer
           The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up.
           To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that
           are listed in available_tracers:
      
         example: (used with later patches)
      
            echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
      
           To disable the tracer:
      
             echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer
      
        tracing_enabled
           echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing
            (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1)
           echoing "0" turns it off.
      
        latency_trace
            This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace.
      
        trace
            This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace.
      
        iter_ctrl
            Controls the way the output of traces look.
            So far there's two controls:
              echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables
                  without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured)
              echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show
                  a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by
                  humans.
              echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly.
              echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.

      ftrace: add basic support for gcc profiler instrumentation · 16444a8a
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is
      set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime
      we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace"
      attribute.
      
      The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function
      happens to be registered.
      
      [ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar,
        so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ]
      
      Update:
        It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function.
        If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the
        function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function
        is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop
        through the functions to call.
