      tracing: move function profiler data out of function struct · 493762fc
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Impact: reduce size of memory in function profiler
      
      The function profiler originally introduces its counters into the
      function records itself. There is 20 thousand different functions on
      a normal system, and that is adding 20 thousand counters for profiling
      event when not needed.
      
      A normal run of the profiler yields only a couple of thousand functions
      executed, depending on what is being profiled. This means we have around
      18 thousand useless counters.
      
      This patch rectifies this by moving the data out of the function
      records used by dynamic ftrace. Data is preallocated to hold the functions
      when the profiling begins. Checks are made during profiling to see if
      more recorcds should be allocated, and they are allocated if it is safe
      to do so.
      
      This also removes the dependency from using dynamic ftrace, and also
      removes the overhead by having it enabled.

      tracing: add function profiler · bac429f0
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Impact: new profiling feature
      
      This patch adds a function profiler. In debugfs/tracing/ two new
      files are created.
      
        function_profile_enabled  - to enable or disable profiling
      
        trace_stat/functions   - the profiled functions.
      
      For example:
      
        echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled
        ./hackbench 50
        echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/function_profile_enabled
      
      yields:
      
        cat /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat/functions
      
        Function                               Hit
        --------                               ---
        _spin_lock                        10106442
        _spin_unlock                      10097492
        kfree                              6013704
        _spin_unlock_irqrestore            4423941
        _spin_lock_irqsave                 4406825
        __phys_addr                        4181686
        __slab_free                        4038222
        dput                               4030130
        path_put                           4023387
        unroll_tree_refs                   4019532
      [...]
      
      The most hit functions are listed first. Functions that are not
      hit are not listed.
      
      This feature depends on and uses dynamic function tracing. When the
      function profiling is disabled, no overhead occurs. But it still
      takes up around 300KB to hold the data, thus it is not recomended
      to keep it enabled for systems low on memory.
      
      When a '1' is echoed into the function_profile_enabled file, the
      counters for is function is reset back to zero. Thus you can see what
      functions are hit most by different programs.

      tracing: add handler to trace_stat · 42548008
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Currently, if a trace_stat user wants a handle to some private data,
      the trace_stat infrastructure does not supply a way to do that.
      
      This patch passes the trace_stat structure to the start function of
      the trace_stat code.

      function-graph: ignore times across schedule · 8aef2d28
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Impact: more accurate timings
      
      The current method of function graph tracing does not take into
      account the time spent when a task is not running. This shows functions
      that call schedule have increased costs:
      
       3) + 18.664 us   |      }
       ------------------------------------------
       3)    <idle>-0    =>  kblockd-123

       3) ! 2961.465 us |  }
      
      This patch uses the tracepoint in the scheduling context switch to

      tracing: fix memory leak in trace_stat · 09833521
      Steven Rostedt authored
      If the function profiler does not have any items recorded and one were
      to cat the function stat file, the kernel would take a BUG with a NULL
      pointer dereference.
      
      Looking further into this, I found that returning NULL from stat_start
      did not stop the stat logic, and would later call stat_next. This breaks
      from the way seq_file works, so I looked into fixing the stat code.
      
      This is where I noticed that the last next_entry is never freed.
      It is allocated, and if the stat_next returns NULL, the code breaks out
      of the loop, unlocks the mutex and exits. We never link the next_entry
      nor do we free it. Thus it is a real memory leak.
      
      This patch rearranges the code a bit to not only fix the memory leak,
      but also to act more like seq_file where nothing is printed if there
      is nothing to print. That is, stat_start returns NULL.

      tracing: Fix TRACING_SUPPORT dependency for PPC32 · 45b95608
      Anton Vorontsov authored
      commit 40ada30f ("tracing: clean up menu"),
      despite the "clean up" in its purpose, introduced a behavioural
      change for Kconfig symbols: we no longer able to select tracing
      support on PPC32 (because IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT isn't yet implemented).
      
      The IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is not mandatory for most tracers, tracing core
      has a special case for platforms w/o irqflags (which, by the way, has
      become useless as of the commit above).
      
      Though according to Ingo Molnar, there was periodic build failures on
      weird, unmaintained architectures that had no irqflags-tracing support
      and hence didn't know the raw_irqs_save/restore primitives. Thus we'd
      better not enable irqflags-less tracing for all architectures.
      
      This patch restores the old behaviour for PPC32, and thus brings the
      tracing back. Other architectures can either add themselves to the
      exception list or (better) implement TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT.

      tracing/ftrace: check if debugfs is registered before creating files · 3e1f60b8
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter
      
      If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers,
      they will attempt to create their option directory and files.
      But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned
      as "boot tracers" very early if asked to.
      
      Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall),
      a crash is triggered.
      
      Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by
      checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root
      tracing directory.

      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: add new debugfs API
      
      With ftrace, some tracers are registered in early initcalls
      and attempt to create files on the debugfs filesystem.
      Depending on when they are activated, they can try to create their
      file at any time. Some checks can be done on the tracing area
      but providing a helper to know if debugfs is registered make it
      really more easy.

      tracing/function-graph-tracer: prevent hangs during self-tests · cf586b61
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: detect tracing related hangs
      
      Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make
      the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless
      loop of timer interrupts servicing.
      
      As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the
      selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely
      disabling this tracer.
      
      For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace
      hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump
      the traces after this hang detection.

      tracing/ring-buffer: don't annotate rb_cpu_notify with __cpuinit · 09c9e84d
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: remove a section warning
      
      CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH raises the following warning on -tip:
      
        WARNING: kernel/trace/built-in.o(.text+0x5bc5): Section mismatch in
        reference from the function ring_buffer_alloc() to the function
        .cpuinit.text:rb_cpu_notify()
        The function ring_buffer_alloc() references
        the function __cpuinit rb_cpu_notify().
      
      This is actually harmless. The code in the ring buffer don't build
      rb_cpu_notify and other cpu hotplug stuffs when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
      so we have no risk to reference freed memory here (it would even
      be harmless if we unconditionally build it because register_cpu_notifier
      would do nothing when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.
      
      But since ring_buffer_alloc() can be called everytime, we don't want it
      to be annotated with __cpuinit so we drop the __cpuinit from
      rb_cpu_notify.
      
      This is not a waste of memory because it is only defined and used on
      CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

      aio: lookup_ioctx can return the wrong value when looking up a bogus context · 65c24491
      Jeff Moyer authored
      The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
      bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
      (harness/cases/3.p).
      
      Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
      exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
      (since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).
      
      The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless"
      (commit abf137dd).
      
      Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not
      return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was
      not found.

      wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was
      able to, with the attached test program.  Independently from this, the bug is
      conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it.  This patch adds an
      optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
      Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
      here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not
      sure is worth it.

      function-graph: show binary events as comments · 5087f8d2
      Steven Rostedt authored
      With the added TRACE_EVENT macro, the events no longer appear in
      the function graph tracer. This was because the function graph
      did not know how to display the entries. The graph tracer was
      only aware of its own entries and the printk entries.
      
      By using the event call back feature, the graph tracer can now display
      the events.
      
       # echo irq > /debug/tracing/set_event
      
      Which can show:

      tracing: remove recording function depth from trace_printk · 40ce74f1

      The function depth in trace_printk was to facilitate the function

      function-graph: calculate function depth within function graph tracer · 2fbcdb35
      Steven Rostedt authored
      Currently, the function graph tracer depends on the trace_printk
      to record the depth. All the information is already there in the trace
      to calculate function depth, with the exception of having the printk
      be the first item. But as soon as a entry or exit is reached, then
      we know the depth.
      
      This patch changes the iter->private data from recording a per cpu
      last_pid, to a structure that holds both the last_pid and the current
      depth. This data is used to determine the function depth for the
      printks.

      Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers() · a8e7d49a
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page
      dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping
      private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure
      that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without
      the dirty bits set when the page is dirty.
      
      I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue
      Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve
      a real race, which we should close."

      Add '-fwrapv' to gcc CFLAGS · 68df3755
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This makes sure that gcc doesn't try to optimize away wrapping
      arithmetic, which the kernel occasionally uses for overflow testing, ie
      things like
      
      	if (ptr + offset < ptr)
      
      which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See
      
      	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597
      
      for details.
      
      Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional
      (it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).

      tracing/ring-buffer: fix non cpu hotplug case · 3bf832ce
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: fix warning with irqsoff tracer
      
      The ring buffer allocates its buffers on pre-smp time (early_initcall).
      It means that, at first, only the boot cpu buffer is allocated and
      the ring-buffer cpumask only has the boot cpu set (cpu_online_mask).
      
      Later, the secondary cpu will show up and the ring-buffer will be notified
      about this event: the appropriate buffer will be allocated and the cpumask
      will be updated.
      
      Unfortunately, if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG, the ring-buffer will not be
      notified about the secondary cpus, meaning that the cpumask will have
      only the cpu boot set, and only one cpu buffer allocated.
      
      We fix that by using cpu_possible_mask if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG.
      
      This patch fixes the following warning with irqsoff tracer running:

      Because this tracer may try to swap two cpu ring buffers for an
      unregistered cpu on the ring buffer.
      
      This patch might also fix a fair loss of traces due to unallocated buffers
      for secondary cpus.
