      tracing: Increase PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE to handle Sentinel1 and docker together · e531e90b
      Robin H. Johnson authored 
      Running endpoint security solutions like Sentinel1 that use perf-based
tracing heavily lead to this repeated dump complaining about dockerd.
The default value of 2048 is nowhere near not large enough.

Using the prior patch "tracing: show size of requested buffer", we get
"perf buffer not large enough, wanted 6644, have 6144", after repeated
up-sizing (I did 2/4/6/8K). With 8K, the problem doesn't occur at all,
so below is the trace for 6K.

I'm wondering if this value should be selectable at boot time, but this
is a good starting point.

```

      bootconfig: Initialize ret in xbc_parse_tree() · 39d9c1c1
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored 
      The do while loop continues while ret is zero, but ret is never
initialized. The check for ret in the loop at the while should always be
initialized, but if an empty string were to be passed in, q would be NULL
and p would be '\0', and it would break out of the loop without ever
setting ret.

Set ret to zero, and then xbc_verify_tree() would be called and catch that
it is an empty tree and report the proper error.

      ftrace: do CPU checking after preemption disabled · d33cc657
      王贇 authored 
      With CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT we observed reports like:

This telling us the CPU could be changed after task is preempted, and
the checking on CPU before preemption will be invalid.

Since now ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() will help to disable the
preemption, this patch just do the checking after trylock() to address
the issue.

      ftrace: disable preemption when recursion locked · ce5e4803
      王贇 authored 
      As the documentation explained, ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()
and ftrace_test_recursion_unlock() were supposed to disable and
enable preemption properly, however currently this work is done
outside of the function, which could be missing by mistake.

And since the internal using of trace_test_and_set_recursion()
and trace_clear_recursion() also require preemption disabled, we
can just merge the logical.

This patch will make sure the preemption has been disabled when
trace_test_and_set_recursion() return bit >= 0, and
trace_clear_recursion() will enable the preemption if previously
enabled.

Numeric constants can also be used in a hist trigger expressions
or assigned to a variable and used by refernce in an expression.

      tracing/histogram: Optimize division by a power of 2 · 722eddaa
      Kalesh Singh authored 
      The division is a slow operation. If the divisor is a power of 2, use a
shift instead.

Results were obtained using Android's version of perf (simpleperf[1]) as
described below:

1. hist_field_div() is modified to call 2 test functions:
   test_hist_field_div_[not]_optimized(); passing them the
   same args. Use noinline and volatile to ensure these are
   not optimized out by the compiler.
2. Create a hist event trigger that uses division:
      events/kmem/rss_stat$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=size/<divisor>'
         >> trigger
      events/kmem/rss_stat$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:vals=$x'
         >> trigger
3. Run Android's lmkd_test[2] to generate rss_stat events, and
   record CPU samples with Android's simpleperf:
      simpleperf record -a --exclude-perf --post-unwind=yes -m 16384 -g
         -f 2000 -o perf.data

== Results ==

Divisor is a power of 2 (divisor == 32):

   test_hist_field_div_not_optimized  | 8,717,091 cpu-cycles
   test_hist_field_div_optimized      | 1,643,137 cpu-cycles

If the divisor is a power of 2, the optimized version is ~5.3x faster.

Divisor is not a power of 2 (divisor == 33):

   test_hist_field_div_not_optimized  | 4,444,324 cpu-cycles
   test_hist_field_div_optimized      | 5,497,958 cpu-cycles

If the divisor is not a power of 2, as expected, the optimized version is
slightly slower (~24% slower).

      If both operands of a hist trigger expression are constants, convert the
expression to a constant. This optimization avoids having to perform the
same calculation multiple times and also saves on memory since the
merged constants are represented by a single struct hist_field instead
or multiple.

      tracing/histogram: Simplify handling of .sym-offset in expressions · c5eac6ee
      Kalesh Singh authored 
      The '-' in .sym-offset can confuse the hist trigger arithmetic
expression parsing. Simplify the handling of this by replacing the
'sym-offset' with 'symXoffset'. This allows us to correctly evaluate
expressions where the user may have inadvertently added a .sym-offset
modifier to one of the operands in an expression, instead of bailing
out. In this case the .sym-offset has no effect on the evaluation of the
expression. The only valid use of the .sym-offset is as a hist key
modifier.

      tracing: Fix operator precedence for hist triggers expression · 9710b2f3
      Kalesh Singh authored 
      The current histogram expression evaluation logic evaluates the
expression from right to left. This can lead to incorrect results
if the operations are not associative (as is the case for subtraction
and, the now added, division operators).
	e.g. 16-8-4-2 should be 2 not 10 --> 16-8-4-2 = ((16-8)-4)-2
	     64/8/4/2 should be 1 not 16 --> 64/8/4/2 = ((64/8)/4)/2

Division and multiplication are currently limited to single operation
expression due to operator precedence support not yet implemented.

Rework the expression parsing to support the correct evaluation of
expressions containing operators of different precedences; and fix
the associativity error by evaluating expressions with operators of
the same precedence from left to right.

Examples:
        (1) echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:a=8,b=4,c=2,d=1,w=$a-$b-$c-$d' \
                  >> event/trigger
        (2) echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=$a/$b/3/2' >> event/trigger
        (3) echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:y=$a+10/$c*1024' >> event/trigger
        (4) echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:z=$a/$b+$c*$d' >> event/trigger

      tracing: Add division and multiplication support for hist triggers · bcef0441
      Kalesh Singh authored 
      Adds basic support for division and multiplication operations for
hist trigger variable expressions.

For simplicity this patch only supports, division and multiplication
for a single operation expression (e.g. x=$a/$b), as currently
expressions are always evaluated right to left. This can lead to some
incorrect results:

	e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=8-4-2' >> event/trigger

	     8-4-2 should evaluate to 2 i.e. (8-4)-2
	     but currently x evaluate to  6 i.e. 8-(4-2)

Multiplication and division in sub-expressions will work correctly, once
correct operator precedence support is added (See next patch in this
series).

For the undefined case of division by 0, the histogram expression
evaluates to (u64)(-1). Since this cannot be detected when the
expression is created, it is the responsibility of the user to be
aware and account for this possibility.

Examples:
	echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:a=8,b=4,x=$a/$b' \
                   >> event/trigger

	echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:y=5*$b' \
                   >> event/trigger

      tracing: Add support for creating hist trigger variables from literal · 52cfb373
      Kalesh Singh authored 
      Currently hist trigger expressions don't support the use of numeric
literals:
	e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=$y-1234'
		--> is not valid expression syntax

Having the ability to use numeric constants in hist triggers supports
a wider range of expressions for creating variables.

Add support for creating trace event histogram variables from numeric
literals.

	e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:x=1234,y=size-1024' >> event/trigger

A negative numeric constant is created, using unary minus operator
(parentheses are required).

	e.g. echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:z=-(2)' >> event/trigger

Constants can be used with division/multiplication (added in the
next patch in this series) to implement granularity filters for frequent
trace events. For instance we can limit emitting the rss_stat
trace event to when there is a 512KB cross over in the rss size:

  # Create a synthetic event to monitor instead of the high frequency
  # rss_stat event
  echo 'rss_stat_throttled unsigned int mm_id; unsigned int curr;
	int member; long size' >> tracing/synthetic_events

  # Create a hist trigger that emits the synthetic rss_stat_throttled
  # event only when the rss size crosses a 512KB boundary.
  echo 'hist:keys=keys=mm_id,member:bucket=size/0x80000:onchange($bucket)
      .rss_stat_throttled(mm_id,curr,member,size)'
        >> events/kmem/rss_stat/trigger

A use case for using constants with addition/subtraction is not yet
known, but for completeness the use of constants are supported for all
operators.

If there is any testcase which wants to test the tracing while reading

This also recovers the pause-on-trace when clean it up.
