ftrace: latency tracer infrastructure 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: mmiotrace, updates here is a patch that makes mmiotrace work almost well within the tracing framework. The patch applies on top of my previous patch. I have my own output formatting in place now. Summary of changes: - fix the NULL dereference that was due to not calling tracing_reset() - add print_line() callback into struct tracer - implement print_line() for mmiotrace, producing up-to-spec text - add my output header, but that is not really called in the right place - rewrote the main structs in mmiotrace - added two new trace entry types: TRACE_MMIO_RW and TRACE_MMIO_MAP - made some functions in trace.c non-static - check current==NULL in tracing_generic_entry_update() - fix(?) comparison in trace_seq_printf() Things seem to work fine except a few issues. Markers (text lines injected into mmiotrace log) are missing, I did not feel hacking them in before we have variable length entries. My output header is printed only for 'trace' file, but not 'trace_pipe'. For some reason, despite my quick fix, iter->trace is NULL in print_trace_line() when called from 'trace_pipe' file, which means I don't get proper output formatting. I only tried by loading nouveau.ko, which just detects the card, and that is traced fine. I didn't try further. Map, two reads and unmap. Works perfectly. I am missing the information about overflows, I'd prefer to have a counter for lost events. I didn't try, but I guess currently there is no way of knowning when it overflows? So, not too far from being fully operational, it seems :-) And looking at the diffstat, there also is some 700-900 lines of user space code that just became obsolete.

ftrace: restructure tracing start/stop infrastructure 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. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

ftrace: function tracer with irqs disabled Impact: disable interrupts during trace entry creation (as opposed to preempt) To help with performance, I set the ftracer to not disable interrupts, and only to disable preemption. If an interrupt occurred, it would not be traced, because the function tracer protects itself from recursion. This may be faster, but the trace output might miss some traces. This patch makes the fuction trace disable interrupts, but it also adds a runtime feature to disable preemption instead. It does this by having two different tracer functions. When the function tracer is enabled, it will check to see which version is requested (irqs disabled or preemption disabled). Then it will use the corresponding function as the tracer. Irq disabling is the default behaviour, but if the user wants better performance, with the chance of missing traces, then they can choose the preempt disabled version. Running hackbench 3 times with the irqs disabled and 3 times with the preempt disabled function tracer yielded: tracing type times entries recorded ------------ -------- ---------------- irq disabled 43.393 166433066 43.282 166172618 43.298 166256704 preempt disabled 38.969 159871710 38.943 159972935 39.325 161056510 Average: irqs disabled: 43.324 166287462 preempt disabled: 39.079 160300385 preempt is 10.8 percent faster than irqs disabled. I wrote a patch to count function trace recursion and reran hackbench. With irq disabled: 1,150 times the function tracer did not trace due to recursion. with preempt disabled: 5,117,718 times. The thousand times with irq disabled could be due to NMIs, or simply a case where it called a function that was not protected by notrace. But we also see that a large amount of the trace is lost with the preempt version.

ftrace: introduce ftrace_preempt_disable()/enable() Impact: add new ftrace-plugin internal APIs Parts of the tracer needs to be careful about schedule recursion. If the NEED_RESCHED flag is set, a preempt_enable will call schedule. Inside the schedule function, the NEED_RESCHED flag is cleared. The problem arises when a trace happens in the schedule function but before NEED_RESCHED is cleared. The race is as follows: schedule() >> tracer called trace_function() preempt_disable() [ record trace ] preempt_enable() <<- here's the issue. [check NEED_RESCHED] schedule() [ Repeat the above, over and over again ] The naive approach is simply to use preempt_enable_no_schedule instead. The problem with that approach is that, although we solve the schedule recursion issue, we now might lose a preemption check when not in the schedule function. trace_function() preempt_disable() [ record trace ] [Interrupt comes in and sets NEED_RESCHED] preempt_enable_no_resched() [continue without scheduling] The way ftrace handles this problem is with the following approach: int resched; resched = need_resched(); preempt_disable_notrace(); [record trace] if (resched) preempt_enable_no_sched_notrace(); else preempt_enable_notrace(); This may seem like the opposite of what we want. If resched is set then we call the "no_sched" version?? The reason we do this is because if NEED_RESCHED is set before we disable preemption, there's two reasons for that: 1) we are in an atomic code path 2) we are already on our way to the schedule function, and maybe even in the schedule function, but have yet to clear the flag. Both the above cases we do not want to schedule. This solution has already been implemented within the ftrace infrastructure. But the problem is that it has been implemented several times. This patch encapsulates this code to two nice functions. resched = ftrace_preempt_disable(); [ record trace] ftrace_preempt_enable(resched); This way the tracers do not need to worry about getting it right.

/**
* ftrace_preempt_disable - disable preemption scheduler safe
*
* When tracing can happen inside the scheduler, there exists
* cases that the tracing might happen before the need_resched
* flag is checked. If this happens and the tracer calls
* preempt_enable (after a disable), a schedule might take place
* causing an infinite recursion.
*
* To prevent this, we read the need_recshed flag before
* disabling preemption. When we want to enable preemption we
* check the flag, if it is set, then we call preempt_enable_no_resched.
* Otherwise, we call preempt_enable.
*
* The rational for doing the above is that if need resched is set
* and we have yet to reschedule, we are either in an atomic location
* (where we do not need to check for scheduling) or we are inside
* the scheduler and do not want to resched.
