It was delayed a few days since my workstation kept crashing every 2-8h after pulling it into current -git, but turns out it is a bug in the new pstate code (divide by zero, will report separately). In any case, it contains: - The big cfq/blkcg update from Tejun and and Vivek. - Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun. - Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug flushing. - _io() variants of the wait_for_completion() interface, using io_schedule() instead of schedule() to contribute to io wait properly. - Various little fixes. You'll get two trivial merge conflicts, which should be easy enough to fix up" Fix up the trivial conflicts due to hlist traversal cleanups (commit b67bfe0d42ca: "hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators"). * 'for-3.9/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (39 commits) block: remove redundant check to bd_openers() block: use i_size_write() in bd_set_size() cfq: fix lock imbalance with failed allocations drivers/block/swim3.c: fix null pointer dereference block: don't select PERCPU_RWSEM block: account iowait time when waiting for completion of IO request sched: add wait_for_completion_io[_timeout] writeback: add more tracepoints block: add block_{touch|dirty}_buffer tracepoint buffer: make touch_buffer() an exported function block: add @req to bio_{front|back}_merge tracepoints block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint block: Remove should_sort judgement when flush blk_plug block,elevator: use new hashtable implementation cfq-iosched: add hierarchical cfq_group statistics cfq-iosched: collect stats from dead cfqgs cfq-iosched: separate out cfqg_stats_reset() from cfq_pd_reset_stats() blkcg: make blkcg_print_blkgs() grab q locks instead of blkcg lock block: RCU free request_queue blkcg: implement blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() and blkg_[rw]stat_merge() ...
| * block: add @req to bio_{front|back}_merge tracepointsTejun Heo2013-01-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bio_{front|back}_merge tracepoints report a bio merging into an existing request but didn't specify which request the bio is being merged into. Add @req to it. This makes it impossible to share the event template with block_bio_queue - split it out. @req isn't used or exported to userland at this point and there is no userland visible behavior change. Later changes will make use of the extra parameter. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
| * block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepointTejun Heo2013-01-141-3/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bio completion didn't kick block_bio_complete TP. Only dm was explicitly triggering the TP on IO completion. This makes block_bio_complete TP useless for tracers which want to know about bios, and all other bio based drivers skip generating blktrace completion events. This patch makes all bio completions via bio_endio() generate block_bio_complete TP. * Explicit trace_block_bio_complete() invocation removed from dm and the trace point is unexported. * @rq dropped from trace_block_bio_complete(). bios may fly around w/o queue associated. Verifying and accessing the assocaited queue belongs to TP probes. * blktrace now gets both request and bio completions. Make it ignore bio completions if request completion path is happening. This makes all bio based drivers generate blktrace completion events properly and makes the block_bio_complete TP actually useful. v2: With this change, block_bio_complete TP could be invoked on sg commands which have bio's with %NULL bi_bdev. Update TP assignment code to check whether bio->bi_bdev is %NULL before dereferencing.

I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

This was the correct thing to do. Unfortunately, the ftrace module notifier also contains the ftrace clean up code. As opposed to the set up code, this code should be run *after* all the module notifiers have run in case a module is doing correct clean-up and unregisters its ftrace hooks. Basically, ftrace needs to do clean up on module removal, as it needs to know about code being removed so that it doesn't try to modify that code. But after it removes the module from its records, if a ftrace user tries to remove a probe, that removal will fail due as the record of that code segment no longer exists. Nothing really bad happens if the probe removal is called after ftrace did the clean up, but the ftrace removal function will return an error. Correct code (such as kprobes) will produce a WARN_ON() if it fails to remove the probe. As people get annoyed by frivolous warnings, it's best to do the ftrace clean up after everything else. By splitting the ftrace_module_notifier into two notifiers, one that does the module load setup that is run at high priority, and the other that is called for module clean up that is run at low priority, the problem is solved.

The calls are obviously incorrect, and confusing. Other efforts have been made to fix this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/26/367 But the real solution is to rewrite the syscall internals and come up with a fixed solution. One that doesn't require all the kluge that the current solution has. Thus for now, instead of outputting incorrect data, simply ignore them. With this patch the changes now have: #> grep lls /debug/tracing/trace #> Compat system calls simply are not traced. If users need compat syscalls, then they should just use the raw syscall tracepoints. For an architecture to make their compat syscalls ignored, it must define ARCH_TRACE_IGNORE_COMPAT_SYSCALLS (done in asm/ftrace.h) and also define an arch_trace_is_compat_syscall() function that will return true if the current task should ignore tracing the syscall. I want to stress that this change does not affect actual syscalls in any way, shape or form. It is only used within the tracing system and doesn't interfere with the syscall logic at all. The changes are consolidated nicely into trace_syscalls.c and asm/ftrace.h. I had to make one small modification to asm/thread_info.h and that was to remove the include of asm/ftrace.h. As asm/ftrace.h required the current_thread_info() it was causing include hell. That include was added back in 2008 when the function graph tracer was added: commit caf4b323 "tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing" It does not need to be included there.

Either way you look at it, we are well past both, so push it off a cliff. Note that the POWER_CSTATE and the POWER_PSTATE are part of the legacy tracing API. Remove all tracepoints which use these flags. As can be seen from context, most already have a trace entry via trace_cpu_idle anyways. Also, the cpufreq/cpufreq.c PSTATE one is actually unpaired, as compared to the CSTATE ones which all have a clear start/stop. As part of this, the trace_power_frequency also becomes orphaned, so it too is deleted.

All involved parties (PowerTop in particular) seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ... Main tooling side changes: - Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim: To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information: $ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ] $ perf evlist --group {ref-cycles,cycles} With this example, default perf report will show you each event separately. You can use --group option to enable event group view: $ perf report --group ... # group: {ref-cycles,cycles} # ======== # Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }' # Event count (approx.): 6876107743 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ................ ....... ................. .......................... 99.84% 99.76% noploop noploop [.] main 0.07% 0.00% noploop ld-2.15.so [.] strcmp 0.03% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] timerqueue_del 0.03% 0.03% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] sched_clock_cpu 0.02% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] account_user_time 0.01% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __alloc_pages_nodemask 0.00% 0.00% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_write_msr_safe 0.00% 0.11% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock 0.00% 0.06% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] rcu_check_callbacks 0.00% 0.02% noploop [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __current_kernel_time As you can see the Overhead column now contains both of ref-cycles and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'.

Note that currently this is very suboptimal: - uprobe_register() called by TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER becomes a heavy nop, consumer->filter() always returns F at this stage. As it was already discussed we need uprobe_register_only() to avoid the costly register_for_each_vma() when possible. - uprobe_apply() is oftenly overkill. Unless "nr_systemwide != 0" changes we need uprobe_apply_mm(), unapply_uprobe() is almost what we need. - uprobe_apply() can be simply avoided sometimes, see the next changes. Testing: # perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall # perl -e 'syscall -1 while 1' & [1] 530 # perf record -e probe_libc:syscall perl -e 'syscall -1 for 1..10; sleep 1' # perf report --show-total-period 100.00% 10 perl libc-2.8.so [.] syscall Before this patch: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile /lib/libc.so.6 syscall 79291 A huge ->nrhit == 79291 reflects the fact that the background process 530 constantly hits this breakpoint too, even if doesn't contribute to the output.

For the start we simply use list_head, we can optimize this later if needed. For example, we do not really need to record an event with ->parent != NULL, we can rely on parent->child_list. And we can certainly do some optimizations for the case when 2 events have the same ->tp_target or tp_target->mm. Change trace_uprobe_register() to process TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN/CLOSE and add/del this perf_event to the list. We can probably avoid any locking, but lets start with the "obvioulsy correct" trace_uprobe_filter->rwlock which protects everything. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

This can race with uprobe_dispatcher() which can miss these assignments or see them out of order. Nothing really bad can happen, but this doesn't look clean/safe. And this does not allow to use uprobe_consumer->filter() we are going to add, it is called by uprobe_register() and it needs utc->tu. Change this code to initialize everything before uprobe_register(), and reset tu->consumer/flags if it fails. We can't race with event_disable(), the caller holds event_mutex, and if we could the code would be wrong anyway. In fact I think uprobe_trace_consumer should die, it buys nothing but complicates the code. We can simply add uprobe_consumer into trace_uprobe.

Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer. Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the paths to these locations would probably not be possible. By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared, current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be checked in the first place.

To use the output functions for two different files, instead of storing the current tracer in a static variable, as the trace iterator descriptor contains a pointer to the original current tracer's name, that pointer can now be used to check if the current tracer has changed between different reads of the trace file.

The code for the return side of the function has a slight race: ftrace_pop_return_trace(&trace, &ret, frame_pointer); trace.rettime = trace_clock_local(); ftrace_graph_return(&trace); barrier(); current->curr_ret_stack--; The ftrace_pop_return_trace() initializes the trace structure for the callback. The ftrace_graph_return() uses the trace structure for its own use as that structure is on the stack and is local to this function. Then the curr_ret_stack is decremented which is what the trace.depth is set to. If an interrupt comes in after the ftrace_graph_return() but before the curr_ret_stack, then the called function will get a depth of 2. If max_depth is set to 1 this function will be ignored. The problem is that the trace has already been called, and the timestamp for that trace will not reflect the time the function was about to re-enter userspace. Calls to the interrupt will not be traced because the max_depth has prevented this. To solve this issue, the ftrace_graph_return() can safely be moved after the current->curr_ret_stack has been updated. This way the timestamp for the return callback will reflect the actual time. If an interrupt comes in after the curr_ret_stack update and ftrace_graph_return(), it will be traced. It may look a little confusing to see it within the other function, but at least it will not be lost. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The disabling of irqs version and the preempt disable version. As function tracing in very intrusive and can cause nasty recursion issues, it has its own recursion protection. But the old method to do this was a flat layer. If it detected that a recursion was happening then it would just return without recording. This made the preempt version (much faster than the irq disabling one) not very useful, because if an interrupt were to occur after the recursion flag was set, the interrupt would not be traced at all, because every function that was traced would think it recursed on itself (due to the context it preempted setting the recursive flag). Now that we have a recursion flag for every context level, we no longer need to worry about that. We can disable preemption, set the current context recursion check bit, and go on. If an interrupt were to come along, it would check its own context bit and happily continue to trace. As the preempt version is faster than the irq disable version, there's no more reason to keep the preempt version around. And the irq disable version still had an issue with missing out on tracing NMI code. Remove the irq disable function tracer version and have the preempt disable version be the default (and only version).

If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits. then this function calls... The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to check for recursion. Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls the global list function which calls the ftrace callback all three of these steps will do a recursion protection. There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already did. The recursion that we are protecting against will go through the same steps again. To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current check, then we know that the check was made by the previous caller, and we can skip the current check.

If it has, then it will will return without going further. But this leads to races. If an interrupt came in after the bit was set, the functions being traced would see that bit set and think that the function tracer recursed on itself, and would return. Instead add a bit for each context (normal, softirq, irq and nmi). A check of which context the task is in is made before testing the associated bit. Now if an interrupt preempts the function tracer after the previous context has been set, the interrupt functions can still be traced. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

That is, gcc will optimize a loop for either no iterations or more than one iteration. But usually only a single callback is registered to the function tracer, thus the optimized case should be a single pass. to do this we now do: op = rcu_dereference_raw(list); do { [...] } while (likely(op = rcu_dereference_raw((op)->next)) && unlikely((op) != &ftrace_list_end)); An op is always registered (ftrace_list_end when no callbacks is registered), thus when a single callback is registered, the link list looks like: top => callback => ftrace_list_end => NULL. The likely(op = op->next) still must be performed due to the race of removing the callback, where the first op assignment could equal ftrace_list_end. In that case, the op->next would be NULL. But this is unlikely (only happens in a race condition when removing the callback). But it is very likely that the next op would be ftrace_list_end, unless more than one callback has been registered. This tells gcc what the most common case is and makes the fast path with the least amount of branches. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When a new tracer is added, it sets current_trace to nop_trace before disabling the old tracer. At this moment, if the old tracer uses update_max_tr(), the update may trigger the warning against !current_trace->use_max-tr, as nop_trace doesn't have that set. As update_max_tr() requires that interrupts be disabled, we can add a check to see if current_trace == nop_trace and bail if it does. Then when disabling the current_trace, set it to nop_trace and run synchronize_sched(). This will make sure all calls to update_max_tr() have completed (it was called with interrupts disabled). As a clean up, this commit also removes shrinking and recreating the max_tr buffer if the old and new tracers both have use_max_tr set. The old way use to always shrink the buffer, and then expand it for the next tracer. This is a waste of time. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

(commit e6e1e2593 "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry") Because this broke userspace, it was determined that we must keep those 4 bytes around. (commit a3a4a5acd "Regression: partial revert "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry"") This unfortunately wastes space in the ring buffer. 4 bytes per event, where a lot of events are just 24 bytes. That's 16% of the buffer wasted. A million events will add 4 megs of white space into the buffer. It was later noticed that PowerTop v2beta could not work on systems where the kernel was 64 bit but the userspace was 32 bits. The reason was because the offsets are different between the two and the hard coded offset of one would not work with the other. With PowerTop v2 final, it implemented the same interface that both perf and trace-cmd use. That is, it reads the format file of the event to find the offsets of the fields it needs. This fixes the problem with running powertop on a 32 bit userspace running on a 64 bit kernel. It also no longer requires the 4 byte padding. As PowerTop v2 has been out for a while, and is included in all major distributions, it is time that we can safely remove the 4 bytes of padding. Users of PowerTop v2beta should upgrade to PowerTop v2 final.
