      tracing: Do not block on splice if either file or splice NONBLOCK flag is set · 189e5784
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      Currently only the splice NONBLOCK flag is checked to determine if
      the splice read should block or not. But the file descriptor NONBLOCK
      flag also needs to be checked.

      tracing: Use direct field, type and system names · 92edca07
      Steven Rostedt authored
      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: Use kmem_cache_alloc instead of kmalloc in trace_events.c · d1a29143
      Steven Rostedt authored
      The event structures used by the trace events are mostly persistent,
      but they are also allocated by kmalloc, which is not the best at
      allocating space for what is used. By converting these kmallocs
      into kmem_cache_allocs, we can save over 50K of space that is
      permanently allocated.
      
      After boot we have:
      
       slab name          active allocated size
       ---------          ------ --------- ----
      ftrace_event_file    979   1005     56   67    1
      ftrace_event_field   2301   2310     48   77    1
      
      The ftrace_event_file has at boot up 979 active objects out of
      1005 allocated in the slabs. Each object is 56 bytes. In a normal
      kmalloc, that would allocate 64 bytes for each object.
      
       1005 - 979  = 26 objects not used
       26 * 56 = 1456 bytes wasted
      
      But if we used kmalloc:
      
       64 - 56 = 8 bytes unused per allocation
       8 * 979 = 7832 bytes wasted
      
       7832 - 1456 = 6376 bytes in savings
      
      Doing the same for ftrace_event_field where there's 2301 objects
      allocated in a slab that can hold 2310 with 48 bytes each we have:
      
       2310 - 2301 = 9 objects not used
       9 * 48 = 432 bytes wasted
      
      A kmalloc would also use 64 bytes per object:
      
       64 - 48 = 16 bytes unused per allocation
       16 * 2301 = 36816 bytes wasted!
      
       36816 - 432 = 36384 bytes in savings
      
      This change gives us a total of 42760 bytes in savings. At least
      on my machine, but as there's a lot of these persistent objects
      for all configurations that use trace points, this is a net win.
      
      Thanks to Ezequiel Garcia for his trace_analyze presentation which
      pointed out the wasted space in my code.

      tracing: Get trace_events kernel command line working again · 77248221
      Steven Rostedt authored
      With the new descriptors used to allow multiple buffers in the
      tracing directory added, the kernel command line parameter
      trace_events=... no longer works. This is because the top level
      (global) trace array now has a list of descriptors associated
      with the events and the files in the debugfs directory. But in
      early bootup, when the command line is processed and the events
      enabled, the trace array list of events has not been set up yet.
      
      Without the list of events in the trace array, the setting of
      events to record will fail because it would not match any events.
      
      The solution is to set up the top level array in two stages.
      The first is to just add the ftrace file descriptors that just point
      to the events. This will allow events to be enabled and start tracing.
      The second stage is called after the filesystem is set up, and this
      stage will create the debugfs event files and directories associated
      with the trace array events.

      tracing: Add rmdir to remove multibuffer instances · 0c8916c3
      Steven Rostedt authored
      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.

      tracing: Add interface to allow multiple trace buffers · 277ba044
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Add the interface ("instances" directory) to add multiple buffers
      to ftrace. To create a new instance, simply do a mkdir in the
      instances directory:
      
      This will create a directory with the following:
      
       # cd instances
       # mkdir foo
       # ls foo
      buffer_size_kb        free_buffer  trace_clock    trace_pipe
      buffer_total_size_kb  set_event    trace_marker   tracing_enabled
      events/               trace        trace_options  tracing_on
      
      Currently only events are able to be set, and there isn't a way
      to delete a buffer when one is created (yet).
      
      Note, the i_mutex lock is dropped from the parent "instances"
      directory during the mkdir operation. As the "instances" directory
      can not be renamed or deleted (created on boot), I do not see
      any harm in dropping the lock. The creation of the sub directories
      is protected by trace_types_lock mutex, which only lets one
      instance get into the code path at a time. If two tasks try to
      create or delete directories of the same name, only one will occur
      and the other will fail with -EEXIST.

      tracing: Make syscall events suitable for multiple buffers · 12ab74ee
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Currently the syscall events record into the global buffer. But if
      multiple buffers are in place, then we need to have syscall events
      record in the proper buffers.
      
      By adding descriptors to pass to the syscall event functions, the
      syscall events can now record into the buffers that have been assigned
      to them (one event may be applied to mulitple buffers).
      
      This will allow tracing high volume syscalls along with seldom occurring
      syscalls without losing the seldom syscall events.

      tracing: Encapsulate global_trace and remove dependencies on global vars · 2b6080f2
      Steven Rostedt authored
      The global_trace variable in kernel/trace/trace.c has been kept 'static' and
      local to that file so that it would not be used too much outside of that
      file. This has paid off, even though there were lots of changes to make
      the trace_array structure more generic (not depending on global_trace).
      
      Removal of a lot of direct usages of global_trace is needed to be able to
      create more trace_arrays such that we can add multiple buffers.

      tracing: Use RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS for TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU · ae3b5093
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Both RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS and TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU are defined as
      -1 and used to say that all the ring buffers are to be modified
      or read (instead of just a single cpu, which would be >= 0).
      
      There's no reason to keep TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU as it is also started
      to be used for more than what it was created for, and now that
      the ring buffer code added a generic RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS define,
      we can clean up the trace code to use that instead and remove
      the TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU macro.

      tracing: Separate out trace events from global variables · ae63b31e
      Steven Rostedt authored
      The trace events for ftrace are all defined via global variables.
      The arrays of events and event systems are linked to a global list.
      This prevents multiple users of the event system (what to enable and
      what not to).
      
      By adding descriptors to represent the event/file relation, as well
      as to which trace_array descriptor they are associated with, allows
      for more than one set of events to be defined. Once the trace events
      files have a link between the trace event and the trace_array they
      are associated with, we can create multiple trace_arrays that can
      record separate events in separate buffers.

      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      Changing the overwrite mode for the ring buffer via the trace
      option only sets the normal buffer. But the snapshot buffer could
      swap with it, and then the snapshot would be in non overwrite mode
      and the normal buffer would be in overwrite mode, even though the
      option flag states otherwise.

      tracing: Fix free of probe entry by calling call_rcu_sched() · 740466bc
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace
      calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done
      with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched()
      for updates and not a synchronize_rcu().
      
      Function probes (traceon, traceoff, etc) must be freed after
      a synchronize_sched() after its entry has been removed from the
      hash. But call_rcu() is used. Fix this by using call_rcu_sched().
      
      Also fix the usage to use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del().

      tracing: Fix race in snapshot swapping · 2721e72d
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment
      of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock.
      It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps
      happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong
      temp buffer to assign in the swap.
      
      Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have
      their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two
      different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that
      this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers.
      
      New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger.
      
      I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports
      one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

      tracing: Do not return EINVAL in snapshot when not allocated · c9960e48
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot
      file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already
      been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the
      snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer
      now writes to what was the snapshot buffer.
      
      To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file.
      
      To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written
      into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns
      -EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to
      do nothing and return success.

      tracing: Add help of snapshot feature when snapshot is empty · d8741e2e
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      When cat'ing the snapshot file, instead of showing an empty trace
      header like the trace file does, show how to use the snapshot
      feature.
      
      Also, this is a good place to show if the snapshot has been allocated
      or not. Users may want to "pre allocate" the snapshot to have a fast
      "swap" of the current buffer. Otherwise, a swap would be slow and might
      fail as it would need to allocate the snapshot buffer, and that might
      fail under tight memory constraints.

       # Snapshot commands:

        round are about promoting worker_pools as the top level abstraction
        replacing global_cwq (global cpu workqueue).  At this point, I'm
        fairly confident about getting custom worker pools working pretty soon
        and ready for the next merge window.
      
        Lai's patches are replacing the convoluted mb() dancing workqueue has
        been doing with much simpler mechanism which only depends on
        assignment atomicity of long.  For details, please read the commit
        message of 0b3dae68 ("workqueue: simplify is-work-item-queued-here
        test").  While the change ends up adding one pointer to struct
        delayed_work, the inflation in percentage is less than five percent
        and it decouples delayed_work logic a lot more cleaner from usual work
        handling, removes the unusual memory barrier dancing, and allows for
        further simplification, so I think the trade-off is acceptable.
      
        There will be two more workqueue related pull requests and there are
        some shared commits among them.  I'll write further pull requests
        assuming this pull request is pulled first."

      Pull workqueue [delayed_]work_pending() cleanups from Tejun Heo:
       "This is part of on-going cleanups to remove / minimize usages of
        workqueue interfaces which are deprecated and/or misleading.
      
        This round drops a number of usages of [delayed_]work_pending(), which
        are dangerous as they lack any form of synchronization and thus often
        lead to buggy / unnecessary code.  There are a couple legitimate use
        cases in kernel.  Hopefully, they can be converted and
        [delayed_]work_pending() can be removed completely.  Even if not,
        removing most of misuses should make it more difficult to find
        examples of misuses and thus slow down growth of them.
      
        These changes are independent from other workqueue changes."

         - Improve uprobes performance by adding 'pre-filtering' support, by
           Oleg Nesterov.
      
         - Make some POWER7 events available in sysfs, equivalent to what was
           done on x86, from Sukadev Bhattiprolu.
      
         - tracing updates by Steve Rostedt - mostly misc fixes and smaller
           improvements.
      
         - Use perf/event tracing to report PCI Express advanced errors, by
           Tony Luck.
      
         - Enable northbridge performance counters on AMD family 15h, by Jacob
           Shin.
      
         - This tracing commit:
      
              tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events
      
           changes the ABI.  All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
           seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
           libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...
      
        Main tooling side changes:
      
         - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:
      
           To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording.  And
           then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
           and prints them together if --group option is provided.  You can
           use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:
      
              $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
              [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
              [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]
      
              $ perf evlist --group
              {ref-cycles,cycles}
      
           With this example, default perf report will show you each event
           separately.
      
           You can use --group option to enable event group view:
      
              $ perf report --group
              ...
              # group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
              # ========
              # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
              # Event count (approx.): 6876107743
              #
              #         Overhead  Command      Shared Object                      Symbol
              # ................  .......  .................  ..........................

           As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles
           and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
           group { ref-cycles, cycles }'.  The output is sorted by period of
           group leader first.
      
         - Initial GTK+ annotate browser, from Namhyung Kim.
      
         - Add option for runtime switching perf data file in perf report,
           just press 's' and a menu with the valid files found in the current
           directory will be presented, from Feng Tang.
      
         - Add support to display whole group data for raw columns, from Jiri
           Olsa.
      
         - Add per processor socket count aggregation in perf stat, from
           Stephane Eranian.
      
         - Add interval printing in 'perf stat', from Stephane Eranian.
      
         - 'perf test' improvements
      
         - Add support for wildcards in tracepoint system name, from Jiri
           Olsa.
      
         - Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.
      
         - perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
           that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being
           put in place by organizations such as Fedora.
      
         - perf top now shares more of the evsel config/creation routines with
           'record', paving the way for further integration like 'top'
           snapshots, etc.
      
         - perf top now supports DWARF callchains.
      
         - Fix mmap limitations on 32-bit, fix from David Miller.
      
         - 'perf bench numa mem' NUMA performance measurement suite
      
         - ... and lots of fixes, performance improvements, cleanups and other
           improvements I failed to list - see the shortlog and git log for
           details."
