The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and indentation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

* | mm: move recent_rotated pages calculation to shrink_inactive_list()Kirill Tkhai2019-05-141-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"] putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function. This patch (of 4): The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more similar to move_active_pages_to_lru(). To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate. Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array. Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

* tracing: Add alternative synthetic event trace action syntaxTom Zanussi2019-02-201-17/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to synthetic_event_name(params). Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name as a function call. Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the synthetic event is in effect being traced. In this version, a new 'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in as the first argument. In addition, for the sake of consistency with other actions, change the documention to emphasize the trace() form over the function-call form, which remains documented as equivalent.

* ftrace: Allow enabling of filters via index of available_filter_functionsSteven Rostedt (VMware)2019-02-151-0/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer (which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed in. When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit. But this requires passing in half of the functions in available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000 opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes. As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files, instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding line of the available_filter_functions file. That is: # echo 50 > set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter x86_pmu_commit_txn # head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1 x86_pmu_commit_txn This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in less than a second! # time seq 20000 > set_ftrace_filter real 0m0.042s user 0m0.005s sys 0m0.015s # wc -l set_ftrace_filter 20000 set_ftrace_filter Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

This is the ground work for having kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base. - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more features to the histograms in the future. - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in the future to use str_has_prefix() instead. - A few other various clean ups as well. * tag 'trace-v4.21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (57 commits) tracing: Use the return of str_has_prefix() to remove open coded numbers tracing: Have the historgram use the result of str_has_prefix() for len of prefix tracing: Use str_has_prefix() instead of using fixed sizes tracing: Use str_has_prefix() helper for histogram code string.h: Add str_has_prefix() helper function tracing: Make function ‘ftrace_exports’ static tracing: Simplify printf'ing in seq_print_sym tracing: Avoid -Wformat-nonliteral warning tracing: Merge seq_print_sym_short() and seq_print_sym_offset() tracing: Add hist trigger comments for variable-related fields tracing: Remove hist trigger synth_var_refs tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to destroy var_refs tracing: Remove open-coding of hist trigger var_ref management tracing: Use var_refs[] for hist trigger reference checking tracing: Change strlen to sizeof for hist trigger static strings tracing: Remove unnecessary hist trigger struct field tracing: Fix ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() to use task and not current seq_buf: Use size_t for len in seq_buf_puts() seq_buf: Make seq_buf_puts() null-terminate the buffer arm64: Use ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() instead of curr_ret_stack ...

These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement this instead with kprobes. The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches, and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface. - If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to know what register or where on the stack the argument was). - The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you reference a mac address, you can add: echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events And this will produce: mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec} Other changes include - Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules - Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove tracing itself, as we keep removing too much). - Added support for SDT in uprobes" [ SDT - "Statically Defined Tracing" are userspace markers for tracing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add $argN special fetch variable for accessing function arguments. This allows user to trace the Nth argument easily at the function entry. Note that this returns most probably assignment of registers and stacks. In some case, it may not work well. If you need to access correct registers or stacks you should use perf-probe.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add array type support for probe events. This allows user to get arraied types from memory address. The array type syntax is TYPE[N] Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64, x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less than 64. The string array type is a bit different from other types. For other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type> (e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array", but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example, +0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.
