Kernel breakpoints are created using functions in which we pass breakpoint parameters as individual variables: address, length and type. Although it fits well for x86, this just does not scale across architectures that may support this api later as these may have more or different needs. Pass in a perf_event_attr structure instead because it is meant to evolve as much as possible into a generic hardware breakpoint parameter structure. Reported-by:

When a pinned group cannot be scheduled it goes into error state. Normally a group cannot go out of error state without being explicitly re-enabled or disabled. There was a bug in per-thread mode, whereby upon termination of the thread, the group would transition from error to off leading to bogus counts and timing information returned by read(). Fix it by clearing the error state. Signed-off-by:

When we schedule out a breakpoint from the cpu, we also incidentally remove the "Global exact breakpoint" flag from the breakpoint control register. It makes us losing the fine grained precision about the origin of the instructions that may trigger breakpoint exceptions for the other breakpoints running in this cpu. Reported-by:

This simplifies the error handling when we create a breakpoint. We don't need to check the NULL return value corner case anymore since we have improved perf_event_create_kernel_counter() to always return an error code in the failure case. Signed-off-by:

Frederic Weisbecker authored
In fail case, perf_event_create_kernel_counter() returns NULL instead of an error, which doesn't help us to inform the user about the origin of the problem from the outer most callers. Often we can just return -EINVAL, which doesn't help anyone when it's eventually about a memory allocation failure. Then, this patch makes perf_event_create_kernel_counter() always return a detailed error code. Signed-off-by:

It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template? To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel: DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3) To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to: DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event) ... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

Converting some of the scheduler trace events to use the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT helped to save some space: $ size kernel/sched.o-* text data bss dec hex filename 79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace 101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ 104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace sched.o-notrace is without any tracepoints compiled sched.o-templ is with this patch sched.o-trace is the tracepoints before this patch The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT: sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new, sched_process_free, sched_process_exit, and sched_stat_wait. The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT: sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait. Note, since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE always uses a print, the sched_stat_wait print format is defined in the template and this template is used by sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait. But the later two override the print format. Signed-off-by:Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there are several trace points where they are almost identical except for the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT and override the print format. Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. I was able to get the following: $ size kernel/sched.o-* text data bss dec hex filename 79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace 101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ 104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points. sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

The validate_event() was failing on valid event combinations. The function was assuming that if x86_schedule_event() returned 0, it meant error. But x86_schedule_event() returns the counter index and 0 is a perfectly valid value. An error is returned if the function returns a negative value. Furthermore, validate_event() was also failing for event groups because the event->pmu was not set until after hw_perf_event_init(). Signed-off-by:

And also express its configuration toggles via a struct. Now all one has to do is to call symbol__init(NULL) if the defaults are OK, or pass a struct symbol_conf pointer with the desired configuration. If a tool uses kernel_maps__find_symbol() to look at the kernel and modules mappings for a symbol but didn't call symbol__init() first, that will generate a one time warning too, alerting the subcommand developer that symbol__init() must be called.
