[PATCH -v6 00/13] ftrace for MIPS

[PATCH -v6 00/13] ftrace for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin]

This -v6 revision incorporates the feedbacks of -v5 revision from Frederic
Weisbecker, the most important changes include:

1. tracing: add IRQENTRY_EXIT section for MIPS

Tag the mips irq entry functions with "__irq_entry".

2. "notrace" relative patches

To avoid hanging on mips_timecounter_read() when using function graph tracer,
we need not to trace the subroutines called by mips_timecounter_read(). for the
mips specific subroutines, we use __notrac_funcgraph to tag them.

For the common timecounter_read_* functions, we add a new __arch_notrace
flag/macro to include/linux/ftrace.h for the arch specific requirement, and use
it to tag them. and then we define the macro in arch/mips/include/asm/ftrace.h
to make it take effect for MIPS.

All of the latest update have been pushed into:

git://dev.lemote.com/rt4ls.git  linux-mips/dev/ftrace-upstream

Thanks & Regards,

[PATCH -v6 01/13] tracing: convert trace_clock_local() as weak function

[Wu Zhangjin]

trace_clock_local() is based on the arch-specific sched_clock(), in X86,
it is tsc(64bit) based, which can give very high precision(about 1ns
with 1GHz). but in MIPS, the sched_clock() is jiffies based, which can
give only 10ms precison with 1000 HZ. which is not enough for tracing,
especially for Real Time system.

so, we need to implement a MIPS specific sched_clock() to get higher
precision. There is a tsc like clock counter register in MIPS, whose
frequency is half of the processor, so, if the cpu frequency is 800MHz,
the time precision reaches 2.5ns, which is very good for tracing, even
for Real Time system.

but 'Cause it is only 32bit long, which will rollover quickly, so, such
a sched_clock() will bring with extra load, which is not good for the
whole system. so, we only need to implement a arch-specific
trace_clock_local() for tracing. as a preparation, we convert it as a
weak function.

The MIPS specific trace_clock_local() is coming in the next two patches.

Yep, if trace_clock_local() had to be a strict alias
to sched_clock(), we would have simply used sched_clock().

If an arch need to implement it another way, then yeah making
it weak is a good thing.

[PATCH -v6 02/13] tracing: add mips_timecounter_read() for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin]

This patch add a new function: mips_timecounter_read() to get high
precision timestamp without extra lock.

It is based on the clock counter register and the
timecounter/cyclecounter abstraction layer of kernel.

[PATCH -v6 04/13] tracing: add static function tracer support for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin]

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.

This patch add the MIPS specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by deafult, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.

And to support module tracing, we need to enable -mlong-calls for the
long call from modules space to kernel space. -mlong-calls load the
address of _mcount to a register and then jump to it, so, the address is
allowed to be 32bit long, but without -mlong-calls, for the instruction
"jal _mcount" only left 26bit for the address of _mcount, which is not
enough for jumping from the module space to kernel space.

[PATCH -v6 05/13] tracing: enable HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin]

There is an exisiting common ftrace_test_stop_func() in
kernel/trace/ftrace.c, which is used to check the global variable
ftrace_trace_stop to determine whether stop the function tracing.

This patch implepment the MIPS specific one to speedup the procedure.

Thanks goes to Zhang Le for Cleaning it up.

1) unless .set noreorder is specified in this file, explicit nop is not needed;

2) delay slot instruction is usually denoted by adding extra space on its 
left, like this:

	bnez	t0, ftrace_stub
	 nop

[PATCH -v6 07/13] tracing: add dynamic function tracer support for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin]

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it just return without any more action, just like the
static function tracer does. When enabling it in user-space, it will
jump to a real tracing function(ftrace_caller), and do some real job for
us.

Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).

In the -v4 version, the implementation of this support is basically the same as
X86 version does: _mcount is implemented as an empty function and ftrace_caller
is implemented as a real tracing function respectively.

But in this version, to support module tracing with the help of
-mlong-calls. the stuff becomes a little more complex, let's have a look
at the new calling to _mcount with -mlong-calls(result of "objdump -hdr
vmlinux").

	c:	3c030000 	lui	v1,0x0
			c: R_MIPS_HI16	_mcount
			c: R_MIPS_NONE	*ABS*
			c: R_MIPS_NONE	*ABS*
	10:	64630000 	daddiu	v1,v1,0
			10: R_MIPS_LO16	_mcount
			10: R_MIPS_NONE	*ABS*
			10: R_MIPS_NONE	*ABS*
	14:	03e0082d 	move	at,ra
	18:	0060f809 	jalr	v1

and the old version without -mlong-calls looks like this:

	108:   03e0082d        move    at,ra
	10c:   0c000000        jal     0 <fpcsr_pending>
                        10c: R_MIPS_26  _mcount
                        10c: R_MIPS_NONE        *ABS*
                        10c: R_MIPS_NONE        *ABS*
	110:   00020021        nop

In the old version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every kernel
function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl, but in the new version, we need to choose one
of the two to match. Herein, I choose the first one with "R_MIPS_HI16
_mcount".

and In the old verion, without module tracing support, we just need to replace
"jal _mcount" by "jal ftrace_caller" to do real tracing, and filter the tracing
of some kernel functions via replacing it by a nop instruction.

but as we have described before, the instruction "jal ftrace_caller" only left
32bit length for the address of ftrace_caller, it will fail when calling from
the module space. so, herein, we must replace something else.

the basic idea is loading the address of ftrace_caller to v1 via changing these
two instructions:

	lui	v1,0x0
	addiu	v1,v1,0

If we want to enable the tracing, we need to replace the above instructions to:

	lui	v1, HI_16BIT_ftrace_caller
	addiu	v1, v1, LOW_16BIT_ftrace_caller

If we want to stop the tracing of the indicated kernel functions, we
just need to replace the "jalr v1" to a nop instruction. but we need to
replace two instructions and encode the above two instructions
oursevles.

Is there a simpler solution, Yes! Here it is, in this version, we put _mcount
and ftrace_caller together, which means the address of _mcount and
ftrace_caller is the same:

_mcount:
ftrace_caller:
	j	ftrace_stub
	nop

	...(do real tracing here)...

ftrace_stub:
	jr	ra
	move	ra, at

By default, the kernel functions call _mcount, and then jump to ftrace_stub and
return. and when we want to do real tracing, we just need to remove that "j
ftrace_stub", and it will run through the two "nop" instructions and then do
the real tracing job.

what about filtering job? we just need to switching the "jalr v1" and "nop"
instruction.

In linux-mips64, there will be some local symbols, whose name are
prefixed by $L, which need to be filtered. thanks goes to Steven for
writing the mips64-specific function_regex.

In a conclusion, with RISC, things becomes easier with such a "stupid"
trick, RISC is something like K.I.S.S, and also, there are lots of
"simple" tricks in the whole ftrace support, thanks goes to Steven and
the other folks for providing such a wonderful tracing framework!

Note in cases where the call to mcount is more that one instruction, it
may be better to add a jump over everything.

1:

Yes, it will still execute in the delay slot daddiu. Not sure if this is
better than two adds and a nop. I'll have to play with it.

The problem with this is that all .init functions always call _mcount
and we never nop it. Since the initial nop is done at boot up with only
one CPU running, it is safe to modify all locations with the jump to
something other than _mcount and not to worry about it later.

So if I convert mips to do what ppc does, we can remove the long jump
thing, right?

If remove the long jump, we at least to change the $mcount_regex in
scripts/recordmcount.pl, the addr + 12 in arch/mips/include/asm/ftrace.h
and the _mcount & ftrace_caller in mcount.S and the ftrace_make_nop &
ftrace_make_call in arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c back to the -v4 version.

I think this method of supporting module is not that BAD, no obvious
overhead added except the "lui...addiu..." and two more "nop"
instructions. and it's very understandable, so, just use this version?

You don't nop the lui and addiu do you? If you do you will crash the
machine.

As for overhead, you might want to test that out.

Not test it yet, Seems what you have mentioned in another thread:

b  1f
....
1:

is a good idea, it will only left one "lui" and one "b 1f" instruction
there.

[PATCH -v6 08/13] tracing: add IRQENTRY_EXIT section for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin]

This patch add a new section for MIPS to record the block of the hardirq
handling for function graph tracer(print_graph_irq) via adding the
__irq_entry annotation to the the entrypoints of the hardirqs(the block
with irq_enter()...irq_exit()).

Thanks goes to Steven & Frederic Weisbecker for their feedbacks.

Nano-neat:

Why is it returning a value, it doesn't seem needed (the macro
version didn't)?

Anyway, that looks good to me. I hope the changes from macro
to function calls will be ack by the MIPS maintainers.

Who should I resend this patchset to? you or Steven? If this patchset
are okay, I will rebase it on the latest tracing/core branch of -tip and
send the latest version out, and hope you can apply it, otherwise, I
need to rebase it to the future mainline versions again and again ;) and
at least, I have tested all of them and their combinations on YeeLoong

You can keep the current Cc list so that we are all uptodate with the
latest state. I don't think you need to rebase against latest tracing/core
as there doesn't seem to be conflicatble changes inside added lately.
The person who is likely to apply it is Steven as he can test it :)

Thanks.

Just Cc Frederic, Ingo and myself. We'll figure out who will pull it in.
I'll probably do it since I have the MIPS box to do the testing.

Note, I'm currently in NYC at a conference and will not be pulling in
anything till Wednesday when I get back.

Any changes to MIPS arch must have an Acked-by: the MIPS maintainer
(Ralf?) before anything can be pulled in.

Thanks!

Oh, and yes, just base it with tracing/core. We should be able to handle

[PATCH -v6 09/13] tracing: Add __arch_notrace for arch specific requirement

[Wu Zhangjin]

Some arch need to not trace the common functions, but the other archs do
not need it, so, we add a new __arch_notrace to solve this problem, if
your arch need it, define it in your arch specific ftrace.h, otherwise,
ignore it! and if you just need to enable it with function graph tracer,
wrap it with "#ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER ... #endif".

[PATCH -v6 10/13] tracing: not trace the timecounter_read* in kernel/time/clocksource.c

[Wu Zhangjin]

Some platforms(i.e. MIPS) need these two functions to get the precise
timestamp, we use __arch_notrace(added in the last patch) to annotate
it. By default, __arch_notrace is empty, so, this patch have no
influence to the original functions, but if you really not need to trace
them, just add the following line into the arch specific ftrace.h:

	#define __arch_notrace

If only want to enable it for function graph tracer, add these lines
instead.

	#ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER
	#define __arch_notrace
	#endif

[PATCH -v6 11/13] tracing: not trace mips_timecounter_read() for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin]

We use mips_timecounter_read() to get the timestamp in MIPS, so, it's
better to not trace it and it's subroutines, otherwise, it will goto
recursion(hang) when using function graph tracer. we use the
__notrace_funcgraph annotation to indicate them not to be traced.

And there are two common functions called by mips_timecounter_read(), we
define the __arch_notrace macro to ensure they are not to be traced.

[PATCH -v6 12/13] tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin]

The implementation of function graph tracer for MIPS is a little
different from X86.

in MIPS, gcc(with -pg) only transfer the caller's return address(at) and
the _mcount's return address(ra) to us.

move at, ra
jal _mcount

if the function is a leaf, it will no save the return address(ra):

ffffffff80101298 <au1k_wait>:
ffffffff80101298:       67bdfff0        daddiu  sp,sp,-16
ffffffff8010129c:       ffbe0008        sd      s8,8(sp)
ffffffff801012a0:       03a0f02d        move    s8,sp
ffffffff801012a4:       03e0082d        move    at,ra
ffffffff801012a8:       0c042930        jal     ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff801012ac:       00020021        nop

so, we can hijack it directly in _mcount, but if the function is non-leaf, the
return address is saved in the stack.

ffffffff80133030 <copy_process>:
ffffffff80133030:       67bdff50        daddiu  sp,sp,-176
ffffffff80133034:       ffbe00a0        sd      s8,160(sp)
ffffffff80133038:       03a0f02d        move    s8,sp
ffffffff8013303c:       ffbf00a8        sd      ra,168(sp)
ffffffff80133040:       ffb70098        sd      s7,152(sp)
ffffffff80133044:       ffb60090        sd      s6,144(sp)
ffffffff80133048:       ffb50088        sd      s5,136(sp)
ffffffff8013304c:       ffb40080        sd      s4,128(sp)
ffffffff80133050:       ffb30078        sd      s3,120(sp)
ffffffff80133054:       ffb20070        sd      s2,112(sp)
ffffffff80133058:       ffb10068        sd      s1,104(sp)
ffffffff8013305c:       ffb00060        sd      s0,96(sp)
ffffffff80133060:       03e0082d        move    at,ra
ffffffff80133064:       0c042930        jal     ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff80133068:       00020021        nop

but we can not get the exact stack address(which saved ra) directly in
_mcount, we need to search the content of at register in the stack space
or search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction in the text. 'Cause we
can not prove there is only a match in the stack space, so, we search
the text instead.

as we can see, if the first instruction above "move at, ra" is "move
s8(fp), sp"(only available with -fno-omit-frame-pointer which is enabled
by CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER), it is a leaf function, so we hijack the at
register directly via putting &return_to_handler into it, otherwise, we
search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction to get the stack offset,
and then the stack address. we use the above copy_process() as an
example, we at last find "ffbf00a8", 0xa8 is the stack offset, we plus
it with s8(fp), that is the stack address, we hijack the content via
writing the &return_to_handler in.

[PATCH -v6 13/13] tracing: add dynamic function graph tracer for MIPS

[Wu Zhangjin]

This patch make function graph tracer work with dynamic function tracer.

To share the source code of dynamic function tracer(MCOUNT_SAVE_REGS),
and avoid restoring the whole saved registers, we need to restore the ra
register from the stack.
