* tracing: protect reader of cmdline outputSteven Rostedt2009-03-175-26/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair. But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the wrong comm because it had no locking. This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache and not just send back a pointer to it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
* tracing/ftrace: fix the check on nopped sitesFrederic Weisbecker2009-03-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix a dynamic tracing failure Recently, the function and function graph tracers failed to use dynamic tracing after the following commit: fa9d13cf135efbd454453a53b6299976bea245a9 (ftrace: don't try to __ftrace_replace_code on !FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED rec) The patch is right except a mistake on the check for the FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag. The code patching is aborted in case of successfully nopped sites. What we want is the opposite: ignore the callsites that haven't been nopped.

* | tracing: move binary buffers into per cpu directorySteven Rostedt2009-03-131-21/+5Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The binary_buffers directory in /debugfs/tracing held the files to read the trace buffers in a binary format. This held one file per CPU buffer. But we also have a per_cpu directory that holds a way to read the pretty-print formats. This patch moves the binary buffers into the per_cpu_directory: # ls /debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/ trace trace_pipe trace_pipe_raw The new name is called "trace_pipe_raw". The binary buffers always acted similar to trace_pipe, except that they produce raw data. Requested-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

* | tracing: export trace formats to user spaceSteven Rostedt2009-03-131-5/+114
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The binary printk saves a pointer to the format string in the ring buffer. On output, the format is processed. But if the user is reading the ring buffer through a binary interface, the pointer is meaningless. This patch creates a file called printk_formats that maps the pointers to the formats. # cat /debug/tracing/printk_formats 0xffffffff80713d40 : "irq_handler_entry: irq=%d handler=%s\n" 0xffffffff80713d48 : "lock_acquire: %s%s%s\n" 0xffffffff80713d50 : "lock_release: %s\n" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
* | tracing: have event_trace_printk use static tracerSteven Rostedt2009-03-132-10/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: speed up on event tracing The event_trace_printk is currently a wrapper function that calls trace_vprintk. Because it uses a variable for the fmt it misses out on the optimization of using the binary printk. This patch makes event_trace_printk into a macro wrapper to use the fmt as the same as the trace_printks. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

* | tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats stringsFrederic Weisbecker2009-03-137-26/+186
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic formats. So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will still be used. The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not. Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

* | tracing: show that buffer size is not expandedSteven Rostedt2009-03-131-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: do not confuse user on small trace buffer sizes When the system boots up, the trace buffer is small to conserve memory. It is only two pages per online CPU. When the tracer is used, it expands to the default value. This can confuse the user if they look at the buffer size and see only 7, but then later they see 1408. # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 7 # echo sched_switch > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 1408 This patch tries to help remove this confustion by showing that the buffer has not been expanded. # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 7 (expanded: 1408) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
* | ring-buffer: remove unneeded get_online_cpusSteven Rostedt2009-03-131-76/+14Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: speed up and remove possible races The get_online_cpus was added to the ring buffer because the original design would free the ring buffer on a CPU that was being taken off line. The final design kept the ring buffer around even when the CPU was taken off line. This is to allow a user to still read the information on that ring buffer. Most of the get_online_cpus are no longer needed since the ring buffer will not disappear from the use cases.

So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario: Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt happens which updates accouting values. This causes acct_timexpd to be greater than the former stime + utime. The subsequent calculation of dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd); will be negative and the division performed by cputime_to_jiffies(dtime) will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit register. In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any of the accounting values.

When setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number of bytes right after the core static area which is available only through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside the relocatable range. If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk. Although they share the page map, their different area map initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their purposes. If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled like any other allocation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

This can delay RCU grace period to insane values. Adding rcu_qsctr_inc() call in ksoftirqd() solves this problem. Paul: "This regression was a result of the recent change from "schedule()" to "cond_resched()", which got rid of that quiescent state in the common case where a reschedule is not needed".

Why? Currently, ftrace has tracing_record_cmdline()/trace_find_cmdline() convenience function that implements a task->comm string cache. This can avoid unnecessary memcpy overhead and the workqueue tracer uses it. However, in general, any trace statistics feature shouldn't use tracing_record_cmdline() because trace statistics can display very old process. Then comm cache can return wrong string because recent process overrides the cache. Fortunately, workqueue trace guarantees that displayed processes are live. Thus we can search comm string from PID at display time. <before> % cat workqueues # CPU INSERTED EXECUTED NAME # | | | | 7 431913 431913 kondemand/7 7 0 0 tail 7 21 21 git 7 0 0 ls 7 9 9 cat 7 832632 832632 unix_chkpwd 7 236292 236292 ls Note: tail, git, ls, cat unix_chkpwd are obiously not workqueue thread. <after> % cat workqueues # CPU INSERTED EXECUTED NAME # | | | | 7 510 510 kondemand/7 7 0 0 kmpathd/7 7 15 15 ata/7 7 0 0 aio/7 7 11 11 kblockd/7 7 1063 1063 work_on_cpu/7 7 167 167 events/7 Signed-off-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
