Impact: New way of using the blktrace infrastructure This drops the requirement of userspace utilities to use the blktrace facility. Configuration is done thru sysfs, adding a "trace" directory to the partition directory where blktrace can be enabled for the associated request_queue. The same filters present in the IOCTL interface are present as sysfs device attributes. The /sys/block/sdX/sdXN/trace/enable file allows tracing without any filters. The other files in this directory: pid, act_mask, start_lba and end_lba can be used with the same meaning as with the IOCTL interface. Using the sysfs interface will only setup the request_queue->blk_trace fields, tracing will only take place when the "blk" tracer is selected via the ftrace interface, as in the following example: To see the trace, one can use the /d/tracing/trace file or the /d/tracign/trace_pipe file, with semantics defined in the ftrace documentation in Documentation/ftrace.txt.

This patch brings various bugfixes: - Drop the first irrelevant task switch on the very beginning of a trace. - Drop the OVERHEAD word from the headers, the DURATION word is sufficient and will not overlap other columns. - Make the headers fit well their respective columns whatever the selected options. Ie, default options: # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 1) 0.646 us | } 1) | mem_cgroup_del_lru_list() { 1) 0.624 us | lookup_page_cgroup(); 1) 1.970 us | } echo funcgraph-proc > trace_options # tracer: function_graph # # CPU TASK/PID DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | | | 0) bash-2937 | 0.895 us | } 0) bash-2937 | 0.888 us | __rcu_read_unlock(); 0) bash-2937 | 0.864 us | conv_uni_to_pc(); 0) bash-2937 | 1.015 us | __rcu_read_lock(); echo nofuncgraph-cpu > trace_options echo nofuncgraph-proc > trace_options # tracer: function_graph # # DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | 3.752 us | native_pud_val(); 0.616 us | native_pud_val(); 0.624 us | native_pmd_val(); About features, one can now disable the duration (this will hide the overhead too for convenient reasons and because on doesn't need overhead if it hasn't the duration): echo nofuncgraph-duration > trace_options # tracer: function_graph # # FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | cap_vm_enough_memory() { __vm_enough_memory() { vm_acct_memory(); } } } And at last, an option to print the absolute time: //Restart from default options echo funcgraph-abstime > trace_options # tracer: function_graph # # TIME CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | | 261.339774 | 1) + 42.823 us | } 261.339775 | 1) 1.045 us | _spin_lock_irq(); 261.339777 | 1) 0.940 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); 261.339778 | 1) 0.752 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 261.339780 | 1) 0.857 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 261.339782 | 1) | flush_to_ldisc() { 261.339783 | 1) | tty_ldisc_ref() { 261.339783 | 1) | tty_ldisc_try() { 261.339784 | 1) 1.075 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); 261.339786 | 1) 0.842 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore(); 261.339788 | 1) 4.211 us | } 261.339788 | 1) 5.662 us | } The format is seconds.usecs. I guess no one needs the nanosec precision here, the main goal is to have an overview about the general timings of events, and to see the place when the trace switches from one cpu to another. ie: 274.874760 | 1) 0.676 us | _spin_unlock(); 274.874762 | 1) 0.609 us | native_load_sp0(); 274.874763 | 1) 0.602 us | native_load_tls(); 274.878739 | 0) 0.722 us | } 274.878740 | 0) 0.714 us | native_pmd_val(); 274.878741 | 0) 0.730 us | native_pmd_val(); Here there is a 4000 usecs difference when we switch the cpu.

Impact: fix to preempt trace triggering lockdep check_flag failure In local_bh_disable, the use of add_preempt_count causes the preempt tracer to start recording the time preemption is off. But because it already modified the preempt_count to show softirqs disabled, and before it called the lockdep code to handle this, it causes a state that lockdep can not handle. The preempt tracer will reset the ring buffer on start of a trace, and the ring buffer reset code does a spin_lock_irqsave. This calls into lockdep and lockdep will fail when it detects the invalid state of having softirqs disabled but the internal current->softirqs_enabled is still set. The fix is to manually add the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET to preempt count and call the preempt tracer code outside the lockdep critical area. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting this solution.

Impact: add option to trace all tasks or just RT tasks The current wakeup tracer only traces RT task wakeups. This is fine for those interested in wake up timings of RT tasks, but it is useless for those that are interested in the causes of long wakeups for non RT tasks. This patch creates a "wakeup_rt" to implement the tracing of just RT tasks (as the current "wakeup" does). And makes "wakeup" now trace all tasks as an average developer would expect.

Impact: fix to erased trace output To try not to have the outputing of a trace interfere with the wakeup tracer, it would disable tracing while the output was printing. But if a trace had started when it was disabled, it can show a partial trace. To try to solve this, on closing of the tracer, it would clear the trace buffer. The latency tracers (wakeup and irqsoff) have two buffers. One for recording and one for holding the max trace that is printed. The clearing of the trace above should only affect the recording buffer. But for some reason it would move the erased trace to the print buffer. Probably due to a race with the closing of the trace and the saving ofhe max race. The above is all pretty useless, and if the user does not want the printing of the trace to be traced itself, then the user can manual disable tracing. This patch removes all the code that tries to keep the output of the tracer from modifying the trace. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: fix failure of dynamic function tracer selftest In a course of development, a developer does several makes on their kernel. Sometimes, the make might do something abnormal. In the case of running the recordmcount.pl script on an object twice, the script will duplicate all the calls to mcount in the __mcount_loc section. On boot up, the dynamic function tracer is careful when it modifies code, and performs several consistency checks. One is to not modify the call site if it is not what it expects it to be. If a function call site is listed twice, the first entry will convert the site to a nop, and the second will fail because it expected to see a call to mcount, but instead it sees a nop. Thus, the function tracer is disabled. Eric Sesterhenn reported seeing: [ 1.055440] ftrace: converting mcount calls to 0f 1f 44 00 00 [ 1.055568] ftrace: allocating 29418 entries in 116 pages [ 1.061000] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 1.061000] WARNING: at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:441 [...] [ 1.060000] ---[ end trace 4eaa2a86a8e2da23 ]--- [ 1.060000] ftrace failed to modify [<c0118072>] check_corruption+0x3/0x2d [ 1.060000] actual: 0f:1f:44:00:00 This warning shows that check_corruption+0x3 already had a nop in its place (0x0f1f440000). After compiling another kernel the problem went away. Later Eric Paris notice the same type of issue. Luckily, he saved the vmlinux file that caused it. In the file we found a bunch of duplicate mcount call site records, which lead us to the script. Perhaps this problem only happens to people named Eric. This patch changes the script to test if the __mcount_loc already exists in the object file, and if it does, it will print out an error message and kill the compile.
