tracing: Add tracepoint benchmark tracepoint In order to help benchmark the time tracepoints take, a new config option is added called CONFIG_TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK. When this option is set a tracepoint is created called "benchmark:benchmark_event". When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint. The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first write which is not added to the rest of the calculations. As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already. An example of the output: START first=3672 [COLD CACHED] last=632 first=3672 max=632 min=632 avg=316 std=446 std^2=199712 last=278 first=3672 max=632 min=278 avg=303 std=316 std^2=100337 last=277 first=3672 max=632 min=277 avg=296 std=258 std^2=67064 last=273 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=292 std=224 std^2=50411 last=273 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=288 std=200 std^2=40389 last=281 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=287 std=183 std^2=33666 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Convert stddev into u64 in tracepoint benchmark I've been told that do_div() expects an unsigned 64 bit number, and is undefined if a signed is used. This gave a warning on the MIPS build. I'm not sure if a signed 64 bit dividend is really an issue or not, but the calculation this is used for is standard deviation, and that isn't going to be negative. We can just convert it to unsigned and be safe. Reported-by: David Daney <ddaney.cavm@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Only benchmark the time tracepoints take if tracing is on There's no need to record the time tracepoints take when tracing is off. This is because: 1) We cannot see these records since ring_buffer record is off at that moment. 2) If tracing is off and benchmark tracepoint is enabled, the time tracepoint takes is fewer than the same situation when tracing is on, since the tracepoints need to be wrote into ring_buffer, it would take more time. If turn on tracing at this moment, the average and standard deviation cannot exactly present the time that tracepoints take to write data into ring_buffer.

Each iteration will record the time it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint. The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first write which is not added to the rest of the calculations. As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.

tracing: Do not start benchmark on boot up Trace events are enabled very early on boot up via the boot command line parameter. The benchmark tool creates a new thread to perform the trace event benchmarking. But at start up, it is called before scheduling is set up and because it creates a new thread before the init thread is created, this crashes the kernel. Have the benchmark fail to register when started via the kernel command line. Also, since the registering of a tracepoint now can handle failure cases, return -ENOMEM instead of warning if the thread cannot be created. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Have the reg function allow to fail Some tracepoints have a registration function that gets enabled when the tracepoint is enabled. There may be cases that the registraction function must fail (for example, can't allocate enough memory). In this case, the tracepoint should also fail to register, otherwise the user would not know why the tracepoint is not working.
