* | mm: move recent_rotated pages calculation to shrink_inactive_list()Kirill Tkhai2019-05-141-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"] putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function. This patch (of 4): The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more similar to move_active_pages_to_lru(). To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate. Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array. Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

* tracing: Add alternative synthetic event trace action syntaxTom Zanussi2019-02-201-17/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to synthetic_event_name(params). Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name as a function call. Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the synthetic event is in effect being traced. In this version, a new 'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in as the first argument. In addition, for the sake of consistency with other actions, change the documention to emphasize the trace() form over the function-call form, which remains documented as equivalent.

* ftrace: Allow enabling of filters via index of available_filter_functionsSteven Rostedt (VMware)2019-02-151-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer (which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed in. When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit. But this requires passing in half of the functions in available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000 opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes. As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files, instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding line of the available_filter_functions file. That is: # echo 50 > set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter x86_pmu_commit_txn # head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1 x86_pmu_commit_txn This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in less than a second! # time seq 20000 > set_ftrace_filter real 0m0.042s user 0m0.005s sys 0m0.015s # wc -l set_ftrace_filter 20000 set_ftrace_filter Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement this instead with kprobes. The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches, and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface. - If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to know what register or where on the stack the argument was). - The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you reference a mac address, you can add: echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events And this will produce: mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec} Other changes include - Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules - Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove tracing itself, as we keep removing too much). - Added support for SDT in uprobes" [ SDT - "Statically Defined Tracing" are userspace markers for tracing.

| * tracing: probeevent: Add array type supportMasami Hiramatsu2018-10-111-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add array type support for probe events. This allows user to get arraied types from memory address. The array type syntax is TYPE[N] Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64, x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less than 64. The string array type is a bit different from other types. For other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type> (e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array", but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example, +0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

This type is only available with kprobe events.

| * | coresight: Remove %px for printing pcsr valueLeo Yan2018-05-141-2/+2
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver prints pcsr twice: the first time it uses specifier %px to print hexadecimal pcsr value and the second time uses specifier %pS for output kernel symbols. As suggested by Kees, using %pS should be sufficient and %px isn't necessary; the reason is if the pcsr is a kernel space address, we can easily get to know the code line from %pS format, on the other hand, if the pcsr value doesn't fall into kernel space range (e.g. if the CPU is stuck in firmware), %pS also gives out pcsr hexadecimal value. So this commit removes useless %px and update section "Output format" in the document for alignment between the code and document.
