[PATCH 0/5] ftrace updates for tip

[PATCH 0/5] ftrace updates for tip

[Steven Rostedt]

Ingo,

Here's some more ftrace updates.

The first should help fix the bug in lockdep.

The next are changes to the ring buffer to get ready to have it
work with splice.

The last are some clean ups for function graph.


The following patches are in:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-2.6-trace.git

    branch: tip/devel


Steven Rostedt (5):
      ftrace: replace raw_local_irq_save with local_irq_save
      ring-buffer: move some metadata into buffer page
      ring-buffer: read page interface
      ftrace: clean up function graph asm
      ftrace: have function graph use mcount caller address

[PATCH 1/5] ftrace: replace raw_local_irq_save with local_irq_save

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-ftrace-replace-raw_local_irq_save-with-local_irq_sa.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4158 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: fix for lockdep and ftrace

The raw_local_irq_save/restore confuses lockdep. This patch
converts them to the local_irq_save/restore variants.

[PATCH 2/5] ring-buffer: move some metadata into buffer page

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-ring-buffer-move-some-metadata-into-buffer-page.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7779 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: get ready for splice changes

This patch moves the commit and timestamp into the beginning of each
data page of the buffer. This change will allow the page to be moved
to another location (disk, network, etc) and still have information
in the page to be able to read it.

[PATCH 3/5] ring-buffer: read page interface

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0003-ring-buffer-read-page-interface.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6978 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: new API to ring buffer

This patch adds a new interface into the ring buffer that allows a
page to be read from the ring buffer on a given CPU. For every page
read, one must also be given to allow for a "swap" of the pages.

 rpage = ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(buffer);
 if (!rpage)
	goto err;
 ret = ring_buffer_read_page(buffer, &rpage, cpu, full);
 if (!ret)
	goto empty;
 process_page(rpage);
 ring_buffer_free_read_page(rpage);

The caller of these functions must handle any waits that are
needed to wait for new data. The ring_buffer_read_page will simply
return 0 if there is no data, or if "full" is set and the writer
is still on the current page.

[PATCH 4/5] ftrace: clean up function graph asm

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-ftrace-clean-up-function-graph-asm.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1419 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: clean up

There exists macros for x86 asm to handle x86_64 and i386.
This patch updates function graph asm to use them.

[PATCH 5/5] ftrace: have function graph use mcount caller address

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0005-ftrace-have-function-graph-use-mcount-caller-addres.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1073 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: consistency change for function graph

This patch makes function graph record the mcount caller address
the same way the function tracer does.

Thanks Steven. I wasn't aware of _ASM_MOV.

Many kernel developers will fall over stunned and confused when they
see a variable called `page' which does not have type `struct page *'. 
This is a very strong kernel convention and this code tromps all over
it :(

How's about renaming all of these everywhere to `bpage' or whatever?

Rusty (I think it was Rusty) has convincingly argued that local_t is
irredeemably busted.  I forget the details?

OK, I'll send a patch to Ingo to make this update.

Really?? I've been using local for quite a bit. Using atomic seems 
overkill, since I only want to be able to protect against updates by 
interrupts. Perhaps what needs to be done is to fix local?

That was probably Christoph Lameter.  The x86 implementation needs some love, 
but the API seems reasonable.

On x86-32, the cpu_local_inc should be (as intended) turned into one insn.  
That would be possible on 64 bit once we get zero-based percpu (as will World 
Peace).

Cheers,
Rusty.

ok. I'll also pull the followup cleanups that you did based on Andrew's

Re: [PATCH 1/5] ftrace: replace raw_local_irq_save with local_irq_save

hi Ingo,

Where could I find define of "local_irq_save" for x86 if 
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is not defined?
