* ftrace: Fix memory leak with function graph and cpu hotplugSteven Rostedt2011-02-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks. All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new tasks. On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that existed when the cpu went down. ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even though one already existed for it. The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle(). Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task, which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu ret_stack.

| * tracing: Convert nop macros to static inlinesSteven Rostedt2010-05-041-12/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ftrace.h file contains several functions as macros when the functions are disabled due to config options. This patch converts most of them to static inlines. There are two exceptions: register_ftrace_function() and unregister_ftrace_function() This is because their parameter "ops" must not be evaluated since code using the function is allowed to #ifdef out the creation of the parameter. This also fixes an error caused by recent changes: kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c: In function 'start_irqsoff_tracer': kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c:571: error: expected expression before 'do' Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many, plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces. Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the opps, most of the time it is our main interest. This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice. The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed. Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode. v2: Fix double setup v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: David S.

* | x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace codePeter Zijlstra2010-03-261-12/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

* function-graph: add stack frame testSteven Rostedt2009-06-181-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return from function code, we would like to detect that. An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

* tracing: add same level recursion detectionSteven Rostedt2009-04-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tracing infrastructure allows for recursion. That is, an interrupt may interrupt the act of tracing an event, and that interrupt may very well perform its own trace. This is a recursive trace, and is fine to do. The problem arises when there is a bug, and the utility doing the trace calls something that recurses back into the tracer. This recursion is not caused by an external event like an interrupt, but by code that is not expected to recurse. The result could be a lockup. This patch adds a bitmask to the task structure that keeps track of the trace recursion. To find the interrupt depth, the following algorithm is used: level = hardirq_count() + softirq_count() + in_nmi; Here, level will be the depth of interrutps and softirqs, and even handles the nmi. Then the corresponding bit is set in the recursion bitmask. If the bit was already set, we know we had a recursion at the same level and we warn about it and fail the writing to the buffer. After the data has been committed to the buffer, we clear the bit. No atomics are needed. The only races are with interrupts and they reset the bitmask before returning anywy.

* ftrace: use module notifier for function tracerSteven Rostedt2009-04-171-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF. To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented the hooks as calls directly from the module code. After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes the use of the notify safe with ftrace. Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify any code. This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex.

There is 20 thousand different functions on a normal system, and that is adding 20 thousand counters for profiling event when not needed. A normal run of the profiler yields only a couple of thousand functions executed, depending on what is being profiled. This means we have around 18 thousand useless counters. This patch rectifies this by moving the data out of the function records used by dynamic ftrace. Data is preallocated to hold the functions when the profiling begins. Checks are made during profiling to see if more recorcds should be allocated, and they are allocated if it is safe to do so. This also removes the dependency from using dynamic ftrace, and also removes the overhead by having it enabled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Functions that are not hit are not listed. This feature depends on and uses dynamic function tracing. When the function profiling is disabled, no overhead occurs. But it still takes up around 300KB to hold the data, thus it is not recomended to keep it enabled for systems low on memory. When a '1' is echoed into the function_profile_enabled file, the counters for is function is reset back to zero. Thus you can see what functions are hit most by different programs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: new feature This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing engines can use it. (They just have to play with {start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks unless they want to override them.) The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal some metadata informations: - syscall name, param types, param names, number of params The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition because we don't know if its prototype is available in the namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its metadata struct. The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.

Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: save on memory for tracing Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry, struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events. A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it. So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure is for this purpose.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current definition of CALLER_ADDRx isn't suitable for all platforms. E.g. for ARM __builtin_return_address(N) doesn't work for N > 0 and AFAIK for powerpc there are no frame pointers needed to have a working __builtin_return_address. This patch allows defining the CALLER_ADDRx macros in <asm/ftrace.h> and let these take precedence. Because now <asm/ftrace.h> is included unconditionally in <linux/ftrace.h> all archs that don't already had this include get an empty one for free.

The dynamic function trace allows you to pick and choose which of those functions will be traced, but all functions being traced will call all tracers that registered with the function tracer. This patch adds a new feature that allows a tracer to hook to specific functions, even when all functions are being traced. It allows for different functions to call different tracer hooks. The way this is accomplished is by a special function that will hook to the function tracer and will set up a hash table knowing which tracer hook to call with which function. This is the most general and easiest method to accomplish this. Later, an arch may choose to supply their own method in changing the mcount call of a function to call a different tracer. But that will be an exercise for the future. To register a function: struct ftrace_hook_ops { void (*func)(unsigned long ip, unsigned long parent_ip, void **data); int (*callback)(unsigned long ip, void **data); void (*free)(void **data); }; int register_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops, void *data); glob is a simple glob to search for the functions to hook. ops is a pointer to the operations (listed below) data is the default data to be passed to the hook functions when traced ops: func is the hook function to call when the functions are traced callback is a callback function that is called when setting up the hash. That is, if the tracer needs to do something special for each function, that is being traced, and wants to give each function its own data. The address of the entry data is passed to this callback, so that the callback may wish to update the entry to whatever it would like. free is a callback for when the entry is freed. In case the tracer allocated any data, it is give the chance to free it. To unregister we have three functions: void unregister_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops, void *data) This will unregister all hooks that match glob, point to ops, and have its data matching data. (note, if glob is NULL, blank or '*', all functions will be tested). void unregister_ftrace_function_hook_func(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops) This will unregister all functions matching glob that has an entry pointing to ops. void unregister_ftrace_function_hook_all(char *glob) This simply unregisters all funcs.
