Subject: [PATCH v3 RESEND] function_graph: Enable funcgraph-args and funcgraph-retaddr to work simultaneously
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 11:43:33 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251112034333.2901601-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Donglin Peng <pengdonglin@xiaomi.com>

Currently, the funcgraph-args and funcgraph-retaddr features are mutually exclusive.
This patch resolves this limitation by modifying funcgraph-retaddr to adopt the same
implementation approach as funcgraph-args, specifically by storing the return address
in the first entry of the args array.

As a result, both features now coexist seamlessly and function as intended.

To verify the change, use perf to trace vfs_write with both options enabled:

Before:
 # perf ftrace -G vfs_write --graph-opts args,retaddr
 ......
 0)               |  down_read() { /* <-n_tty_write+0xa3/0x540 */
 0)   0.075 us    |    __cond_resched(); /* <-down_read+0x12/0x160 */
 0)   0.079 us    |    preempt_count_add(); /* <-down_read+0x3b/0x160 */
 0)   0.077 us    |    preempt_count_sub(); /* <-down_read+0x8b/0x160 */
 0)   0.754 us    |  }

After:
 # perf ftrace -G vfs_write --graph-opts args,retaddr
 ......
 0)               |  down_read(sem=0xffff8880100bea78) { /* <-n_tty_write+0xa3/0x540 */
 0)   0.075 us    |    __cond_resched(); /* <-down_read+0x12/0x160 */
 0)   0.079 us    |    preempt_count_add(val=1); /* <-down_read+0x3b/0x160 */
 0)   0.077 us    |    preempt_count_sub(val=1); /* <-down_read+0x8b/0x160 */
 0)   0.754 us    |  }

v3:
- Replace min() with min_t() to improve type safety and maintainability
- Keep only one Signed-off-by for cleaner attribution
- Code refactoring for improved readability

v2:
- Preserve retaddr event functionality (suggested by Steven)
- Store the retaddr in args[0] (suggested by Steven)
- Refactor implementation logic and commit message clarity
