With the binding of time extends to events we no longer need to use
the macro RB_TIMESTAMPS_PER_PAGE. Remove it.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
There's a condition to check if we should add a time extend or
not in the fast path. But this condition is racey (in the sense
that we can add a unnecessary time extend, but nothing that
can break anything). We later check if the time or event time
delta should be zero or have real data in it (not racey), making
this first check redundant.
This check may help save space once in a while, but really is
not worth the hassle to try to save some space that happens at
most 134 ms at a time.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
When the time between two timestamps is greater than
2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends
the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to
events only having a 27 bit field to store time.
Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before
the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before
the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as
with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been
committed, it will stay in the buffer.
If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being
written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer
without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer
with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event
in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can
only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning.
This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here
is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added.
Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on
the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The
time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and
the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed
back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function
to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the
ring buffer interface need to be made.
When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and
the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can
be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend.
Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting this idea.

The delta between events is passed to the timestamp code by reference
and the timestamp code will reset the value. But it can be reset
from the caller. No need to pass it in by reference.
By changing the call to pass by value, lets gcc optimize the code
a bit more where it can store the delta in a register and not
worry about updating the reference.

The original code for the ring buffer had locations that modified
the timestamp and that change was used by the callers. Now,
the timestamp is not reused by the callers and there is no reason
to pass it by reference.

Even though the parent is recorded with the normal function tracing
of the latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup), the function graph
recording is bogus.
This is due to the function graph messing with the return stack.
The latency tracers pass in as the parent CALLER_ADDR0, which
works fine for plain function tracing. But this causes bogus output
with the graph tracer:
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | return_to_handler();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | return_to_handler();
3) <idle>-0 | d.s3. 0.000 us | trace_hardirqs_on();
The "return_to_handle()" call is the trampoline of the
function graph tracer, and is meaningless in this context.

[ Fixed some grammar in the comments ]
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.
The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.
The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been
renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since
we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between
two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp.
Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time
is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events
happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted
to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which
is good for ~18 years.
Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event.
If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering,
the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then
after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer.
This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds
a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the
beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual
data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill
more than a page without any data.
When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends
since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never
given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running
forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page,
a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the
iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page
a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace
is also disabled with it).
There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can
hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen
18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name
of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The
size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only
8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on
a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size
cutting the amount in half.
The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only
need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the
warning:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# echo function > current_tracer
# echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter
# echo > trace
# echo 1 > trace_marker
# sleep 120
# cat trace
Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace
functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing
the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer,
then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page,
sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this
guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will
trigger the bug.
This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning.

When the function graph tracer funcgraph-irq option is zero, disable

1) When reading the trace file, do not display the functions that
happen in interrupt context (when detected)
2) [*new*] When recording a trace, skip those that are detected
to be in interrupt by the 'in_irq()' function
Note, in_irq() is updated at irq_enter() and irq_exit(). There are
still functions that are recorded by the function graph tracer that

It's handy to be able to disable the irq related output
and not to have to jump over each irq related code, when

the irq related data stay in the ring buffer.

If we do:

# cat set_ftrace_filter
We get the following output:
#### all functions enabled ####
sys_write:traceon:unlimited
schedule:traceon:unlimited
do_IRQ:traceon:unlimited
This outputs two lists. One is the fact that all functions are
currently enabled for function tracing, the other has three probed
functions, which happen to have 'traceon' as their commands.
Currently, when reading the first list (functions enabled) the
seq_file code will receive a "NULL" from the t_next() function
causing it to exit early. This makes "read()" from userspace stop
reading the code at this boarder. Although read is allowed to do this,
some (broken) applications might consider this an end of file and
stop early.

finishes the first list. It is a simple change and gives the
set_ftrace_filter file nicer reading ability.

The set_ftrace_filter uses seq_file and reads from two lists. The
pointer returned by t_next() can either be of type struct dyn_ftrace
or struct ftrace_func_probe. If there is a bug (there was one)
the wrong pointer may be used and the reference can cause an oops.
This patch makes t_next() and friends only return the iterator structure
which now has a pointer of type struct dyn_ftrace and struct
ftrace_func_probe. The t_show() can now test if the pointer is NULL or
not and if the pointer exists, it is guaranteed to be of the correct type.
Now if there's a bug, only wrong data will be shown but not an oops.

from the hash in set_ftrace_filter. When the hashed probed functions
are read, the *pos passed in is reset. Instead of modifying the pos
given to the read function, just record the pos where the filtered
functions ended and subtract from that.

Be sure to avoid entering t_show() with FTRACE_ITER_HASH set without
having properly started the iterator to iterate the hash. This case is
degenerate and, as discovered by Robert Swiecki, can cause t_hash_show()
to misuse a pointer. This causes a NULL ptr deref with possible security
implications. Tracked as CVE-2010-3079.

Replace pmu::{enable,disable,start,stop,unthrottle} with
pmu::{add,del,start,stop}, all of which take a flags argument.
The new interface extends the capability to stop a counter while
keeping it scheduled on the PMU. We replace the throttled state with
the generic stopped state.
This also allows us to efficiently stop/start counters over certain
code paths (like IRQ handlers).
It also allows scheduling a counter without it starting, allowing for
a generic frozen state (useful for rotating stopped counters).
The stopped state is implemented in two different ways, depending on
how the architecture implemented the throttled state:
1) We disable the counter:
a) the pmu has per-counter enable bits, we flip that
b) we program a NOP event, preserving the counter state
2) We store the counter state and ignore all read/overflow events

Set "argN" name for each argument automatically if it has no specified name.
Since dynamic trace event(kprobe_events) accepts special characters for its
argument, its format can show those special characters (e.g. '$', '%', '+').
However, perf can't parse those format because of the character (especially
'%') mess up the format. This sets "argX" name for those arguments if user
omitted the argument names.
E.g.
# echo 'p do_fork %ax IP=%ip $stack' > tracing/kprobe_events
# cat tracing/kprobe_events
p:kprobes/p_do_fork_0 do_fork arg1=%ax IP=%ip arg3=$stack

Reading the file set_ftrace_filter does three things.
1) shows whether or not filters are set for the function tracer
2) shows what functions are set for the function tracer
3) shows what triggers are set on any functions
3 is independent from 1 and 2.
The way this file currently works is that it is a state machine,
and as you read it, it may change state. But this assumption breaks
when you use lseek() on the file. The state machine gets out of sync
and the t_show() may use the wrong pointer and cause a kernel oops.
Luckily, this will only kill the app that does the lseek, but the app
dies while holding a mutex. This prevents anyone else from using the
set_ftrace_filter file (or any other function tracing file for that matter).
A real fix for this is to rewrite the code, but that is too much for
a -rc release or stable. This patch simply disables llseek on the
set_ftrace_filter() file for now, and we can do the proper fix for the
next major release.

While discussing the strictness of the 80 character limit on the
Kernel Summit Discussion mailing list, I showed examples that I
broke that limit slightly with some algorithms. In discussing with
John Linville, what looked better, I realized that two of the
80 char breaking culprits were an identical expression.
As a clean up, this patch moves the identical expression into its
own helper function and that is used instead. As a side effect,
the offending code is now under the 80 character limit. :-)
This clean up code also changes the expression from
(A - B) - C to A - (B + C)
This makes the code look a little nicer too.

Two new events were added that broke the current format output.
Both from the SCSI system: scsi_dispatch_cmd_done and scsi_dispatch_cmd_timeout
The reason is that their print_fmt exceeded a page size. Since the output
of the format used simple_read_from_buffer and trace_seq, it was limited
to a page size in output.
This patch converts the printing of the format of an event into seq_file,
which allows greater than a page size to be shown.
I diffed all event formats comparing the output with and without this
patch. All matched except for the above two, which showed just:
FORMAT TOO BIG
without this patch, but now properly displays the output with this patch.

Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt says
buffer_size_kb:
This sets or displays the number of kilobytes each CPU
buffer can hold. The tracer buffers are the same size
for each CPU. The displayed number is the size of the
CPU buffer and not total size of all buffers. The
trace buffers are allocated in pages (blocks of memory
that the kernel uses for allocation, usually 4 KB in size).
If the last page allocated has room for more bytes
than requested, the rest of the page will be used,
making the actual allocation bigger than requested.
( Note, the size may not be a multiple of the page size
due to buffer management overhead. )
This can only be updated when the current_tracer
is set to "nop".
But it's incorrect. currently total memory consumption is
'buffer_size_kb x CPUs x 2'.
Why two times difference is there? because ftrace implicitly allocate
the buffer for max latency too.
That makes sad result when admin want to use large buffer. (If admin
want full logging and makes detail analysis). example, If admin
have 24 CPUs machine and write 200MB to buffer_size_kb, the system
consume ~10GB memory (200MB x 24 x 2). umm.. 5GB memory waste is
usually unacceptable.
Fortunatelly, almost all users don't use max latency feature.
The max latency buffer can be disabled easily.
This patch shrink buffer size of the max latency buffer if
unnecessary.

__print_flags() and __print_symbolic() use percpu trace_seq:
1) Its memory is allocated at compile time, it wastes memory if we don't use tracing.
2) It is percpu data and it wastes more memory for multi-cpus system.
3) It disables preemption when it executes its core routine
"trace_seq_printf(s, "%s: ", #call);" and introduces latency.
So we move this trace_seq to struct trace_iterator.

The overhead is 6% ~ 11%.
It's because when a trace event is enabled 3 tracepoints (sched_switch,
sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new) will be activated to map pid to cmdname.
We'd like to avoid this overhead, so add a trace option '(no)record-cmd'

Special traces type was only used by sysprof. Lets remove it now
that sysprof ftrace plugin has been dropped.

The sysprof ftrace plugin doesn't seem to be seriously used
somewhere. There is a branch in the sysprof tree that makes
an interface to it, but the real sysprof tool uses either its
own module or perf events.
Drop the sysprof ftrace plugin then, as it's mostly useless.

The ksym (breakpoint) ftrace plugin has been superseded by perf
tools that are much more poweful to use the cpu breakpoints.
This tracer doesn't bring more feature. It has been deprecated
for a while now, lets remove it.

I have shown by code review that no driver takes
the BKL at init time any more, so whatever the
init code was locking against is no longer there
and it is now safe to remove the BKL there.

Support string type tracing and printing in kprobe-tracer.
This allows user to trace string data in kernel including __user data. Note
that sometimes __user data may not be accessed if it is paged-out (sorry, but
kprobes operation should be done in atomic, we can not wait for page-in).
Commiter note: Fixed up conflicts with b7e2ece.

Strip tracing code from workqueue and remove workqueue tracing. This
is temporary measure till concurrency managed workqueue is complete.

Because kprobes and syscalls need special processing to register
events, the class->reg() method was created to handle the differences.
But instead of creating a default ->reg for perf and ftrace events,
the code was scattered with:
if (class->reg)
class->reg();
else
default_reg();
This is messy and can also lead to bugs.
This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for
the events allowing for the code to directly call the class->reg()
without the condition.

The nsecs_str string is a local variable defined as:
char nsecs_str[5];
It is possible for the snprintf call to use a size value larger than the
size of the string. This should not cause a buffer overrun as it is
written now due to the value for the string format "%03lu" can not be
larger than 1000. However, this change makes it correct. By making the
size correct we guard against potential future changes that could actually
cause a buffer overrun.
