Impact: new likely/unlikely branch tracer
This patch adds a way to record the instances of the likely() and unlikely()
branch condition annotations.
When "unlikely" is set in /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl the unlikely conditions
will be added to any of the ftrace tracers. The change takes effect when
a new tracer is passed into the current_tracer file.
For example:
bash-3471 [003] 357.014755: [INCORRECT] sched_info_dequeued:sched_stats.h:177
bash-3471 [003] 357.014756: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489

Impact: add new tracing plugin which can trace full (entry+exit) function calls
This tracer uses the low level function return ftrace plugin to
measure the execution time of the kernel functions.
The first field is the caller of the function, the second is the
measured function, and the last one is the execution time in
nanoseconds.
- v3:
- HAVE_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER have been added. Each arch that support ftrace return
should enable it.
- ftrace_return_stub becomes ftrace_stub.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER depends now on CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER

- Adapt to the new tracing API (no more ctrl_update callback)
- Correct the check of "disabled" during insertion.

Impact: change in trace output
Because the trace buffers are per cpu ring buffers, the start of
the trace can be confusing. If one CPU is very active at the
end of the trace, its history will not go as far back as the
other CPU traces. This means that output for a particular CPU
may not appear for the first part of a trace.
To help annotate what is happening, and to prevent any more
confusion, this patch adds a line that annotates the start of
a CPU buffer output.
For example:
automount-3495 [001] 184.596443: dnotify_parent <-vfs_write
[...]
automount-3495 [001] 184.596449: dput <-path_put

Impact: change where tracing is started up and stopped
Currently, when a new tracer is selected via echo'ing a tracer name into
the current_tracer file, the startup is only done if tracing_enabled is
set to one. If tracing_enabled is changed to zero (by echo'ing 0 into
the tracing_enabled file) a full shutdown is performed.
The full startup and shutdown of a tracer can be expensive and the
user can lose out traces when echo'ing in 0 to the tracing_enabled file,
because the process takes too long. There can also be places that
the user would like to start and stop the tracer several times and
doing the full startup and shutdown of a tracer might be too expensive.
This patch performs the full startup and shutdown when a tracer is
selected. It also adds a way to do a quick start or stop of a tracer.
The quick version is just a flag that prevents the tracing from
taking place, but the overhead of the code is still there.
For example, the startup of a tracer may enable tracepoints, or enable
the function tracer. The stop and start will just set a flag to
have the tracer ignore the calls when the tracepoint or function trace
is called. The overhead of the tracer may still be present when
the tracer is stopped, but no tracing will occur. Setting the tracer
to the 'nop' tracer (or any other tracer) will perform the shutdown
of the tracer which will disable the tracepoint or disable the
function tracer.
The tracing_enabled file will simply start or stop tracing.
This change is all internal. The end result for the user should be the same
as before. If tracing_enabled is not set, no trace will happen.
If tracing_enabled is set, then the trace will happen. The tracing_enabled
variable is static between tracers. Enabling tracing_enabled and
going to another tracer will keep tracing_enabled enabled. Same
is true with disabling tracing_enabled.
This patch will now provide a fast start/stop method to the users
for enabling or disabling tracing.
Note: There were two methods to the struct tracer that were never
used: The methods start and stop. These were to be used as a hook
to the reading of the trace output, but ended up not being
necessary. These two methods are now used to enable the start
and stop of each tracer, in case the tracer needs to do more than
just not write into the buffer. For example, the irqsoff tracer
must stop recording max latencies when tracing is stopped.

Impact: disable interrupts during trace entry creation (as opposed to preempt)
To help with performance, I set the ftracer to not disable interrupts,
and only to disable preemption. If an interrupt occurred, it would not
be traced, because the function tracer protects itself from recursion.
This may be faster, but the trace output might miss some traces.
This patch makes the fuction trace disable interrupts, but it also
adds a runtime feature to disable preemption instead. It does this by
having two different tracer functions. When the function tracer is
enabled, it will check to see which version is requested (irqs disabled
or preemption disabled). Then it will use the corresponding function
as the tracer.
Irq disabling is the default behaviour, but if the user wants better
performance, with the chance of missing traces, then they can choose
the preempt disabled version.
Running hackbench 3 times with the irqs disabled and 3 times with
the preempt disabled function tracer yielded:
tracing type times entries recorded
------------ -------- ----------------
irq disabled 43.393 166433066
43.282 166172618
43.298 166256704
preempt disabled 38.969 159871710
38.943 159972935
39.325 161056510
Average:
irqs disabled: 43.324 166287462
preempt disabled: 39.079 160300385
preempt is 10.8 percent faster than irqs disabled.
I wrote a patch to count function trace recursion and reran hackbench.
With irq disabled: 1,150 times the function tracer did not trace due to
recursion.
with preempt disabled: 5,117,718 times.
The thousand times with irq disabled could be due to NMIs, or simply a case
where it called a function that was not protected by notrace.
But we also see that a large amount of the trace is lost with the
preempt version.

Impact: add new ftrace-plugin internal APIs
Parts of the tracer needs to be careful about schedule recursion.
If the NEED_RESCHED flag is set, a preempt_enable will call schedule.
Inside the schedule function, the NEED_RESCHED flag is cleared.
The problem arises when a trace happens in the schedule function but before
NEED_RESCHED is cleared. The race is as follows:
schedule()
>> tracer called
trace_function()
preempt_disable()
[ record trace ]
preempt_enable() <<- here's the issue.
[check NEED_RESCHED]
schedule()
[ Repeat the above, over and over again ]
The naive approach is simply to use preempt_enable_no_schedule instead.
The problem with that approach is that, although we solve the schedule
recursion issue, we now might lose a preemption check when not in the
schedule function.
trace_function()
preempt_disable()
[ record trace ]
[Interrupt comes in and sets NEED_RESCHED]
preempt_enable_no_resched()
[continue without scheduling]
The way ftrace handles this problem is with the following approach:
int resched;
resched = need_resched();
preempt_disable_notrace();
[record trace]
if (resched)
preempt_enable_no_sched_notrace();
else
preempt_enable_notrace();
This may seem like the opposite of what we want. If resched is set
then we call the "no_sched" version?? The reason we do this is because
if NEED_RESCHED is set before we disable preemption, there's two reasons
for that:
1) we are in an atomic code path
2) we are already on our way to the schedule function, and maybe even
in the schedule function, but have yet to clear the flag.
Both the above cases we do not want to schedule.
This solution has already been implemented within the ftrace infrastructure.
But the problem is that it has been implemented several times. This patch
encapsulates this code to two nice functions.
resched = ftrace_preempt_disable();
[ record trace]
ftrace_preempt_enable(resched);
This way the tracers do not need to worry about getting it right.

Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures
Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that
is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were
disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user
if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled.
Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to
compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply
say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing
the real answer.
This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the
architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer
to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those
same archs compile with tracing enabled.

With the new ring buffer infrastructure in ftrace, I'm trying to make
ftrace a little more light weight.
This patch converts a lot of the local_irq_save/restore into
preempt_disable/enable. The original preempt count in a lot of cases
has to be sent in as a parameter so that it can be recorded correctly.
Some places were recording it incorrectly before anyway.
This is also laying the ground work to make ftrace a little bit
more reentrant, and remove all locking. The function tracers must
still protect from reentrancy.
Note: All the function tracers must be careful when using preempt_disable.
It must do the following:
resched = need_resched();
preempt_disable_notrace();
[...]
if (resched)
preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace();
else
preempt_enable_notrace();
The reason is that if this function traces schedule() itself, the
preempt_enable_notrace() will cause a schedule, which will lead
us into a recursive failure.
If we needed to reschedule before calling preempt_disable, we
should have already scheduled. Since we did not, this is most
likely that we should not and are probably inside a schedule
function.
If resched was not set, we still need to catch the need resched
flag being set when preemption was off and the if case at the
end will catch that for us.

The mmiotrace map had a bug that would typecast the entry from
the trace to the wrong type. That is a known danger of C typecasts,
there's absolutely zero checking done on them.
Help that problem a bit by using a GCC extension to implement a
type filter that restricts the types that a trace record can be
cast into, and by adding a dynamic check (in debug mode) to verify
the type of the entry.
This patch adds a macro to assign all entries of ftrace using the type
of the variable and checking the entry id. The typecasts are now done
in the macro for only those types that it knows about, which should
be all the types that are allowed to be read from the tracer.

This patch adds a feature that can help kernel developers debug their
code using ftrace.
int ftrace_printk(const char *fmt, ...);
This records into the ftrace buffer using printf formatting. The entry
size in the buffers are still a fixed length. A new type has been added
that allows for more entries to be used for a single recording.
The start of the print is still the same as the other entries.
It returns the number of characters written to the ftrace buffer.
For example:
Having a module with the following code:
static int __init ftrace_print_test(void)
{
ftrace_printk("jiffies are %ld\n", jiffies);
return 0;
}
Gives me:
insmod-5441 3...1 7569us : ftrace_print_test: jiffies are 4296626666
for the latency_trace file and:
insmod-5441 [03] 1959.370498: ftrace_print_test jiffies are 4296626666
for the trace file.
Note: Only the infrastructure should go into the kernel. It is to help
facilitate debugging for other kernel developers. Calls to ftrace_printk
is not intended to be left in the kernel, and should be frowned upon just
like scattering printks around in the code.
But having this easily at your fingertips helps the debugging go faster
and bugs be solved quicker.
Maybe later on, we can hook this with markers and have their printf format
be sucked into ftrace output.

here is a patch that makes mmiotrace work almost well within the tracing
framework. The patch applies on top of my previous patch. I have my own
output formatting in place now.
Summary of changes:
- fix the NULL dereference that was due to not calling tracing_reset()
- add print_line() callback into struct tracer
- implement print_line() for mmiotrace, producing up-to-spec text
- add my output header, but that is not really called in the right place
- rewrote the main structs in mmiotrace
- added two new trace entry types: TRACE_MMIO_RW and TRACE_MMIO_MAP
- made some functions in trace.c non-static
- check current==NULL in tracing_generic_entry_update()
- fix(?) comparison in trace_seq_printf()
Things seem to work fine except a few issues. Markers (text lines injected
into mmiotrace log) are missing, I did not feel hacking them in before we
have variable length entries. My output header is printed only for 'trace'
file, but not 'trace_pipe'. For some reason, despite my quick fix,
iter->trace is NULL in print_trace_line() when called from 'trace_pipe'
file, which means I don't get proper output formatting.
I only tried by loading nouveau.ko, which just detects the card, and that
is traced fine. I didn't try further. Map, two reads and unmap. Works
perfectly.
I am missing the information about overflows, I'd prefer to have a
counter for lost events. I didn't try, but I guess currently there is no
way of knowning when it overflows?
So, not too far from being fully operational, it seems :-)
And looking at the diffstat, there also is some 700-900 lines of user space
code that just became obsolete.
