tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage

2018-07-31T15:32:27Z

This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and keeps it separate. Advantages: * Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer have their own calls. * This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson event, and a preemptoff and preempton event. 3 users of the events exist: - Lockdep - irqsoff and preemptoff tracers - irqs and preempt trace events The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in lines of code in this patch is quite large too. In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With this, the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its users becomes: PREEMPT_TRACER PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING | | \ | | \ (selects) / \ \ (selects) / TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE ----> TRACE_IRQFLAGS \ / \ (depends on) / PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are passing. I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed working. This series + lockdep probes not registered (just to inject errors): [ 0.000000] hard-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/12:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/21:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/12:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/12:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/21:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/21:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | With this series + lockdep probes registered, all locking tests pass: [ 0.000000] hard-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/12: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/12: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/12: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180730222423.196630-4-joel@joelfernandes.org Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

lib: Add module for testing preemptoff/irqsoff latency tracers

2018-07-26T14:50:17Z

Here we introduce a test module for introducing a long preempt or irq disable delay in the kernel which the preemptoff or irqsoff tracers can detect. This module is to be used only for test purposes and is default disabled. Following is the expected output (only briefly shown) that can be parsed to verify that the tracers are working correctly. We will use this from the kselftests in future patches. For the preemptoff tracer: echo preemptoff > /d/tracing/current_tracer sleep 1 insmod ./preemptirq_delay_test.ko test_mode=preempt delay=500000 sleep 1 bash-4.3# cat /d/tracing/trace preempt -1066 2...2 0us@: preemptirq_delay_run <-preemptirq_delay_run preempt -1066 2...2 500002us : preemptirq_delay_run <-preemptirq_delay_run preempt -1066 2...2 500004us : tracer_preempt_on <-preemptirq_delay_run preempt -1066 2...2 500012us : => kthread => ret_from_fork For the irqsoff tracer: echo irqsoff > /d/tracing/current_tracer sleep 1 insmod ./preemptirq_delay_test.ko test_mode=irq delay=500000 sleep 1 bash-4.3# cat /d/tracing/trace irq dis -1069 1d..1 0us@: preemptirq_delay_run irq dis -1069 1d..1 500001us : preemptirq_delay_run irq dis -1069 1d..1 500002us : tracer_hardirqs_on <-preemptirq_delay_run irq dis -1069 1d..1 500005us : => ret_from_fork Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180712213611.GA8743@joelaf.mtv.corp.google.com Cc: Boqun Feng Cc: Byungchul Park Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Julia Cartwright Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul McKenney Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Shuah Khan Cc: Thomas Glexiner Cc: Todd Kjos Cc: Tom Zanussi Cc: Andy Shevchenko Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko [ Erick is a co-developer of this commit ] Signed-off-by: Erick Reyes Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tracing: Add support for preempt and irq enable/disable events

2017-10-10T22:58:43Z

Preempt and irq trace events can be used for tracing the start and end of an atomic section which can be used by a trace viewer like systrace to graphically view the start and end of an atomic section and correlate them with latencies and scheduling issues. This also serves as a prelude to using synthetic events or probes to rewrite the preempt and irqsoff tracers, along with numerous benefits of using trace events features for these events.

Disable the __builtin_return_address() warning globally after all

2016-10-12T17:23:41Z

This affectively reverts commit 377ccbb48373 ("Makefile: Mute warning for __builtin_return_address(>0) for tracing only") because it turns out that it really isn't tracing only - it's all over the tree. We already also had the warning disabled separately for mm/usercopy.c (which this commit also removes), and it turns out that we will also want to disable it for get_lock_parent_ip(), that is used for at least TRACE_IRQFLAGS. Which (when enabled) ends up being all over the tree. Steven Rostedt had a patch that tried to limit it to just the config options that actually triggered this, but quite frankly, the extra complexity and abstraction just isn't worth it. We have never actually had a case where the warning is actually useful, so let's just disable it globally and not worry about it.

tracing: Added hardware latency tracer

2016-09-02T16:47:51Z

The hardware latency tracer has been in the PREEMPT_RT patch for some time. It is used to detect possible SMIs or any other hardware interruptions that the kernel is unaware of. Note, NMIs may also be detected, but that may be good to note as well. The logic is pretty simple. It simply creates a thread that spins on a single CPU for a specified amount of time (width) within a periodic window (window). These numbers may be adjusted by their cooresponding names in /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/ The defaults are window = 1000000 us (1 second) width = 500000 us (1/2 second) The loop consists of: t1 = trace_clock_local(); t2 = trace_clock_local(); Where trace_clock_local() is a variant of sched_clock(). The difference of t2 - t1 is recorded as the "inner" timestamp and also the timestamp t1 - prev_t2 is recorded as the "outer" timestamp. If either of these differences are greater than the time denoted in /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh then it records the event. When this tracer is started, and tracing_thresh is zero, it changes to the default threshold of 10 us. The hwlat tracer in the PREEMPT_RT patch was originally written by Jon Masters. I have modified it quite a bit and turned it into a tracer. Based-on-code-by: Jon Masters Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
