[for-next][PATCH 01/31] tracing: Update function trace addresses with module addresses

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Now that module addresses are saved in the persistent ring buffer, their
addresses can be used to adjust the address in the persistent ring buffer
to the address of the module that is currently loaded.

Instead of blindly using the text_delta that only works for core kernel
code, call the trace_adjust_address() that will see if the address matches
an address saved in the persistent ring buffer, and then uses that against
the matching module if it is loaded.

[for-next][PATCH 02/31] tracing: Show function names when possible when listing fields

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When the "fields" option is enabled, the "print fmt" of the trace event is
ignored and only the fields are printed. But some fields contain function
pointers. Instead of just showing the hex value in this case, show the
function name when possible:

Instead of having:

 # echo 1 > options/fields
 # cat trace
 [..]
  kmem_cache_free: call_site=0xffffffffa9afcf31 (-1448095951) ptr=0xffff888124452910 (-131386736039664) name=kmemleak_object

Have it output:

[for-next][PATCH 03/31] tracing: Only return an adjusted address if it matches the kernel address

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The trace_adjust_address() will take a given address and examine the
persistent ring buffer to see if the address matches a module that is
listed there. If it does not, it will just adjust the value to the core
kernel delta. But if the address was for something that was not part of
the core kernel text or data it should not be adjusted.

Check the result of the adjustment and only return the adjustment if it
lands in the current kernel text or data. If not, return the original
address.

[for-next][PATCH 04/31] tracing: Adjust addresses for printing out fields

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Add adjustments to the values of the "fields" output if the buffer is a
persistent ring buffer to adjust the addresses to both the kernel core and
kernel modules if they match a module in the persistent memory and that
module is also loaded.

[for-next][PATCH 05/31] tracing: Show preempt and irq events callsites from the offsets in field print

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When the "fields" option is set in a trace instance, it ignores the "print fmt"
portion of the trace event and just prints the raw fields defined by the
TP_STRUCT__entry() of the TRACE_EVENT() macro.

The preempt_disable/enable and irq_disable/enable events record only the
caller offset from _stext to save space in the ring buffer. Even though
the "fields" option only prints the fields, it also tries to print what
they represent too, which includes function names.

Add a check in the output of the event field printing to see if the field
name is "caller_offs" or "parent_offs" and then print the function at the
offset from _stext of that field.

Instead of just showing:

  irq_disable: caller_offs=0xba634d (12215117) parent_offs=0x39d10e2 (60625122)

Show:

  irq_disable: caller_offs=trace_hardirqs_off.part.0+0xad/0x130 0xba634d (12215117) parent_offs=_raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x62/0x70 0x39d10e2 (60625122)

[for-next][PATCH 06/31] tracing: Always use memcpy() in histogram add_to_key()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The add_to_key() function tests if the key is a string or some data. If
it's a string it does some further calculations of the string size (still
truncating it to the max size it can be), and calls strncpy().

If the key isn't as string it calls memcpy(). The interesting point is
that both use the exact same parameters:

                strncpy(compound_key + key_field->offset, (char *)key, size);
        } else
                memcpy(compound_key + key_field->offset, key, size);

As strncpy() is being used simply as a memcpy() for a string, and since
strncpy() is deprecated, just call memcpy() for both memory and string
keys.

[for-next][PATCH 07/31] tracing: Move histogram trigger variables from stack to per CPU structure

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The histogram trigger has three somewhat large arrays on the kernel stack:

	unsigned long entries[HIST_STACKTRACE_DEPTH];
	u64 var_ref_vals[TRACING_MAP_VARS_MAX];
	char compound_key[HIST_KEY_SIZE_MAX];

Checking the function event_hist_trigger() stack frame size, it currently
uses 816 bytes for its stack frame due to these variables!

Instead, allocate a per CPU structure that holds these arrays for each
context level (normal, softirq, irq and NMI). That is, each CPU will have
4 of these structures. This will be allocated when the first histogram
trigger is enabled and freed when the last is disabled. When the
histogram callback triggers, it will request this structure. The request
will disable preemption, get the per CPU structure at the index of the
per CPU variable, and increment that variable.

The callback will use the arrays in this structure to perform its work and
then release the structure. That in turn will simply decrement the per CPU
index and enable preemption.

Moving the variables from the kernel stack to the per CPU structure brings
the stack frame of event_hist_trigger() down to just 112 bytes.

[for-next][PATCH 08/31] tracing: Add common_comm to histograms

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If one wants to trace the name of the task that wakes up a process and
pass that to the synthetic events, there's nothing currently that lets the
synthetic events do that. Add a "common_comm" to the histogram logic that
allows histograms save the current->comm as a variable that can be passed
through and added to a synthetic event:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # echo 's:wake_lat char[] waker; char[] wakee; u64 delta;' >> dynamic_events
 # echo 'hist:keys=pid:comm=common_comm:ts=common_timestamp.usecs if !(common_flags & 0x18)' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
 # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wake_comm=$comm:delta=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(wake_lat,$wake_comm,next_comm,$delta)' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

The above will create a synthetic trace event that will save both the name
of the waker and the wakee but only if the wakeup did not happen in a hard
or soft interrupt context.

The "common_comm" is used to save the task->comm at the time of the
initial event and is passed via the "comm" variable to the second event,
and that is saved as the "waker" field in the "wake_lat" synthetic event.

[for-next][PATCH 09/31] ftrace: Show subops in enabled_functions

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The function graph infrastructure uses subops of the function tracer.
These are not shown in enabled_functions. Add a "subops:" section to the
enabled_functions line to show what functions are attached via subops. If
the subops is from the function_graph infrastructure, then show the entry
and return callbacks that are attached.

Here's an example of the output:

schedule_on_each_cpu (1)                tramp: 0xffffffffc03ef000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60     subops: {ent:trace_graph_entry+0x0/0x20 ret:trace_graph_return+0x0/0x150}

[for-next][PATCH 10/31] ftrace: Expose call graph depth as unsigned int

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Ilya Leoshkevich <iii@linux.ibm.com>

Depth is stored as int because the code uses negative values to break
out of iterations. But what is recorded is always zero or positive. So
expose it as unsigned int instead of int.

[for-next][PATCH 11/31] ftrace: Comment that ftrace_func_mapper is freed with free_ftrace_hash()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The structure ftrace_func_mapper only contains a single field and that is
a ftrace_hash. It is used to abstract it out from a normal hash to control
users of how it gets modified.

The freeing of a ftrace_func_mapper structure is:

  free_ftrace_hash(&mapper->hash);

Without context, this looks like a bug. It should be commented that it is
not a bug and it is freed this way.

[for-next][PATCH 12/31] tracing/osnoise: Allow arbitrarily long CPU string

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@redhat.com>

Allocate kernel memory for processing CPU string
(/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/cpus) also in osnoise_cpus_write to allow
the writing of a CPU string of an arbitrary length.

This replaces the 256-byte buffer, which is insufficient with the rising
number of CPUs. For example, if I wanted to measure on every even CPU
on a system with 256 CPUs, the string would be 456 characters long.

[for-next][PATCH 14/31] ftrace: Do not bother checking per CPU "disabled" flag

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The per CPU "disabled" value was the original way to disable tracing when
the tracing subsystem was first created. Today, the ring buffer
infrastructure has its own way to disable tracing. In fact, things have
changed so much since 2008 that many things ignore the disable flag.

There's no reason for the function tracer to check it, if tracing is
disabled, the ring buffer will not record the event anyway.

[for-next][PATCH 15/31] tracing: Just use this_cpu_read() to access ignore_pid

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The ignore_pid boolean on the per CPU data descriptor is updated at
sched_switch when a new task is scheduled in. If the new task is to be
ignored, it is set to true, otherwise it is set to false. The current task
should always have the correct value as it is updated when the task is
scheduled in.

Instead of breaking up the read of this value, which requires preemption
to be disabled, just use this_cpu_read() which gives a snapshot of the
value. Since the value will always be correct for a given task (because
it's updated at sched switch) it doesn't need preemption disabled.

This will also allow trace events to be called with preemption enabled.

[for-next][PATCH 16/31] tracing: Add tracer_tracing_disable/enable() functions

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Allow a tracer to disable writing to its buffer for a temporary amount of
time and re-enable it.

The tracer_tracing_disable() will disable writing to the trace array
buffer, and requires a tracer_tracing_enable() to re-enable it.

The difference between tracer_tracing_disable() and tracer_tracing_off()
is that the disable version can nest, and requires as many enable() calls
as disable() calls to re-enable the buffer. Where as the off() function
can be called multiple times and only requires a singe tracer_tracing_on()
to re-enable the buffer.

[for-next][PATCH 17/31] tracing: Use tracer_tracing_disable() instead of "disabled" field for ftrace_dump_one()

the tracing subsystem was first created. Today, the ring buffer
infrastructure has its own way to disable tracing. In fact, things have
changed so much since 2008 that many things ignore the disable flag.

The ftrace_dump_one() function iterates over all the current tracing CPUs and
increments the "disabled" counter before doing the dump, and decrements it
afterward.

As the disabled flag can be ignored, doing this today is not reliable.
Instead use the new tracer_tracing_disable() that calls into the ring
buffer code to do the disabling.

[for-next][PATCH 19/31] ftrace: Do not disabled function graph based on "disabled" field

the tracing subsystem was first created. Today, the ring buffer
infrastructure has its own way to disable tracing. In fact, things have
changed so much since 2008 that many things ignore the disable flag.

Do not bother disabling the function graph tracer if the per CPU disabled
field is set. Just record as normal. If tracing is disabled in the ring
buffer it will not be recorded.

Also, when tracing is enabled again, it will not drop the return call of
the function.

[for-next][PATCH 20/31] tracing: Do not use per CPU array_buffer.data->disabled for cpumask

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The per CPU "disabled" value was the original way to disable tracing when
the tracing subsystem was first created. Today, the ring buffer
infrastructure has its own way to disable tracing. In fact, things have
changed so much since 2008 that many things ignore the disable flag.

Do not bother setting the per CPU disabled flag of the array_buffer data
to use to determine what CPUs can write to the buffer and only rely on the
ring buffer code itself to disabled it.

[for-next][PATCH 21/31] ring-buffer: Add ring_buffer_record_is_on_cpu()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Add the function ring_buffer_record_is_on_cpu() that returns true if the
ring buffer for a give CPU is writable and false otherwise.

Also add tracer_tracing_is_on_cpu() to return if the ring buffer for a
given CPU is writeable for a given trace_array.

[for-next][PATCH 22/31] tracing: branch: Use trace_tracing_is_on_cpu() instead of "disabled" field

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The branch tracer currently checks the per CPU "disabled" field to know if
tracing is enabled or not for the CPU. As the "disabled" value is not used
anymore to turn of tracing generically, use tracing_tracer_is_on_cpu()
instead.

[for-next][PATCH 23/31] tracing: Convert the per CPU "disabled" counter to local from atomic

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The per CPU "disabled" counter is used for the latency tracers and stack
tracers to make sure that their accounting isn't messed up by an NMI or
interrupt coming in and affecting the same CPU data. But the counter is an
atomic_t type. As it only needs to synchronize against the current CPU,
switch it over to local_t type.

[for-next][PATCH 24/31] tracing: Use atomic_inc_return() for updating "disabled" counter in irqsoff tracer

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The irqsoff tracer uses the per CPU "disabled" field to prevent corruption
of the accounting when it starts to trace interrupts disabled, but there's
a slight race that could happen if for some reason it was called twice.
Use atomic_inc_return() instead.

[for-next][PATCH 27/31] tracing: Rename event_trigger_alloc() to trigger_data_alloc()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The function event_trigger_alloc() creates an event_trigger_data
descriptor and states that it needs to be freed via event_trigger_free().
This is incorrect, it needs to be freed by trigger_data_free() as
event_trigger_free() adds ref counting.

Rename event_trigger_alloc() to trigger_data_alloc() and state that it
needs to be freed via trigger_data_free(). This naming convention
was introducing bugs.

[for-next][PATCH 28/31] tracing: Fix error handling in event_trigger_parse()

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Miaoqian Lin <linmq006@gmail.com>

According to trigger_data_alloc() doc, trigger_data_free() should be
used to free an event_trigger_data object. This fixes a mismatch introduced
when kzalloc was replaced with trigger_data_alloc without updating
the corresponding deallocation calls.

[for-next][PATCH 29/31] tracing: Remove unnecessary "goto out" that simply returns ret is trigger code

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

There's several functions that have "goto out;" where the label out is just:

 out:
	return ret;

Simplify the code by just doing the return in the location and removing
all the out labels and jumps.

[for-next][PATCH 31/31] tracing: Allow the top level trace_marker to write into another instances

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

There are applications that have it hard coded to write into the top level
trace_marker instance (/sys/kernel/tracing/trace_marker). This can be
annoying if a profiler is using that instance for other work, or if it
needs all writes to go into a new instance.

A new option is created called "copy_trace_marker". By default, the top
level has this set, as that is the default buffer that writing into the
top level trace_marker file will go to. But now if an instance is created
and sets this option, all writes into the top level trace_marker will also
be written into that instance buffer just as if an application were to
write into the instance's trace_marker file.

If the top level instance disables this option, then writes to its own
trace_marker and trace_marker_raw files will not go into its buffer.

If no instance has this option set, then the write will return an error
and errno will contain ENODEV.
