clocksource: Use a plain u64 instead of cycle_t

2016-12-25T10:04:12Z

There is no point in having an extra type for extra confusion. u64 is unambiguous. Conversion was done with the following coccinelle script: @rem@ @@ -typedef u64 cycle_t; @fix@ typedef cycle_t; @@ -cycle_t +u64 Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: John Stultz

tracing/fgraph: Have wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore graph functions too

2016-12-09T14:21:35Z

Currently both the wakeup and irqsoff traces do not handle set_graph_notrace well. The ftrace infrastructure will ignore the return paths of all functions leaving them hanging without an end: # echo '*spin*' > set_graph_notrace # cat trace [...] _raw_spin_lock() { preempt_count_add() { do_raw_spin_lock() { update_rq_clock(); Where the '*spin*' functions should have looked like this: _raw_spin_lock() { preempt_count_add(); do_raw_spin_lock(); } update_rq_clock(); Instead, have the wakeup and irqsoff tracers ignore the functions that are set by the set_graph_notrace like the function_graph tracer does. Move the logic in the function_graph tracer into a header to allow wakeup and irqsoff tracers to use it as well. Cc: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Make __buffer_unlock_commit() always_inline

2016-11-24T01:30:51Z

The function __buffer_unlock_commit() is called in a few places outside of trace.c. But for the most part, it should really be inlined, as it is in the hot path of the trace_events. For the callers outside of trace.c, create a new function trace_buffer_unlock_commit_nostack(), as the reason it was used was to avoid the stack tracing that trace_buffer_unlock_commit() could do.

tracing: Add new trace_marker_raw

2016-11-15T20:13:59Z

A new file is created: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_marker_raw This allows for appications to create data structures and write the binary data directly into it, and then read the trace data out from trace_pipe_raw into the same type of data structure. This saves on converting numbers into ASCII that would be required by trace_marker. Suggested-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Support full glob matching

2016-11-14T21:42:58Z

Use glob_match() to support flexible glob wildcards (*,?) and character classes ([) for ftrace. Since the full glob matching is slower than the current partial matching routines(*pat, pat*, *pat*), this leaves those routines and just add MATCH_GLOB for complex glob expression. e.g. ---- [root@localhost tracing]# echo 'sched*group' > set_ftrace_filter [root@localhost tracing]# cat set_ftrace_filter sched_free_group sched_change_group sched_create_group sched_online_group sched_destroy_group sched_offline_group [root@localhost tracing]# echo '[Ss]y[Ss]_*' > set_ftrace_filter [root@localhost tracing]# head set_ftrace_filter sys_arch_prctl sys_rt_sigreturn sys_ioperm SyS_iopl sys_modify_ldt SyS_mmap SyS_set_thread_area SyS_get_thread_area SyS_set_tid_address sys_fork ---- Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147566869501.29136.6462645009894738056.stgit@devbox Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Have max_latency be defined for HWLAT_TRACER as well

2016-09-12T13:59:46Z

The hwlat tracer uses tr->max_latency, and if it's the only tracer enabled that uses it, the build will fail. Add max_latency and its file when the hwlat tracer is enabled.

tracing: Added hardware latency tracer

2016-09-02T16:47:51Z

The hardware latency tracer has been in the PREEMPT_RT patch for some time. It is used to detect possible SMIs or any other hardware interruptions that the kernel is unaware of. Note, NMIs may also be detected, but that may be good to note as well. The logic is pretty simple. It simply creates a thread that spins on a single CPU for a specified amount of time (width) within a periodic window (window). These numbers may be adjusted by their cooresponding names in /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/ The defaults are window = 1000000 us (1 second) width = 500000 us (1/2 second) The loop consists of: t1 = trace_clock_local(); t2 = trace_clock_local(); Where trace_clock_local() is a variant of sched_clock(). The difference of t2 - t1 is recorded as the "inner" timestamp and also the timestamp t1 - prev_t2 is recorded as the "outer" timestamp. If either of these differences are greater than the time denoted in /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh then it records the event. When this tracer is started, and tracing_thresh is zero, it changes to the default threshold of 10 us. The hwlat tracer in the PREEMPT_RT patch was originally written by Jon Masters. I have modified it quite a bit and turned it into a tracer. Based-on-code-by: Jon Masters Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Reduce size of function graph entries

2016-07-05T21:28:30Z

Currently ftrace_graph_ent{,_entry} and ftrace_graph_ret{,_entry} struct can have padding bytes at the end due to alignment in 64-bit data type. As these data are recorded so frequently, those paddings waste non-negligible space. As the ring buffer maintains alignment properly for each architecture, just to remove the extra padding using 'packed' attribute. ftrace_graph_ent_entry: 24 -> 20 ftrace_graph_ret_entry: 48 -> 44 Also I moved the 'overrun' field in struct ftrace_graph_ret to minimize the padding in the middle. Tested on x86_64 only.

ftrace: Move toplevel init out of ftrace_init_tracefs()

2016-07-05T14:47:03Z

Commit 345ddcc882d8 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events do") placed ftrace_init_tracefs into the instance creation, and encapsulated the top level updating with an if conditional, as the top level only gets updated at boot up. Unfortunately, this triggers section mismatch errors as the init functions are called from a function that can be called later, and the section mismatch logic is unaware of the if conditional that would prevent it from happening at run time. To make everyone happy, create a separate ftrace_init_tracefs_toplevel() routine that only gets called by init functions, and this will be what calls other init functions for the toplevel directory.

ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events do

2016-06-20T13:54:19Z

Convert set_ftrace_pid to use the bitmap like set_event_pid does. This allows for instances to use the pid filtering as well, and will allow for function-fork option to set if the children of a traced function should be traced or not. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
