2014-03-21tracepoint: Remove unused API functionsMathieu Desnoyers
After the following commit: commit b75ef8b44b1cb95f5a26484b0e2fe37a63b12b44 Author: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Date: Wed Aug 10 15:18:39 2011 -0400 Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex The following functions became unnecessary: - tracepoint_probe_register_noupdate, - tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate, - tracepoint_probe_update_all. In fact, none of the in-kernel tracers, nor LTTng, nor SystemTAP use them. Remove those. Moreover, the functions: - tracepoint_iter_start, - tracepoint_iter_next, - tracepoint_iter_stop, - tracepoint_iter_reset. are unused by in-kernel tracers, LTTng and SystemTAP. Remove those too.

2014-03-21Revert "tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function"Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
I originally wrote commit 35bb4399bd0e to shrink the size of the overhead of tracepoints by several kilobytes. Later, I received a patch from Vaibhav Nagarnaik that fixed a bug in the same code that this commit touches. Not only did it fix a bug, it also removed code and shrunk the size of the overhead of trace events even more than this commit did. Since this commit is scheduled for 3.15 and Vaibhav's patch is already in mainline, I need to revert this patch in order to keep it from conflicting with Vaibhav's patch. Not to mention, Vaibhav's patch makes this patch obsolete.

2014-03-07ftrace/x86: BUG when ftrace recovery failsPetr Mladek
Ftrace modifies function calls using Int3 breakpoints on x86. The breakpoints are handled only when the patching is in progress. If something goes wrong, there is a recovery code that removes the breakpoints. If this fails, the system might get silently rebooted when a remaining break is not handled or an invalid instruction is proceed. We should BUG() when the breakpoint could not be removed. Otherwise, the system silently crashes when the function finishes the Int3 handler is disabled. Note that we need to modify remove_breakpoint() to return non-zero value only when there is an error. The return value was ignored before, so it does not cause any troubles.

No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against zero. Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init. So it is enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on all archs.

The previous code from commit 7d536cb3f would not fully evaluate the expression before multiplying its result by the size of the type. This went unnoticed because the length stored in the high 16 bits of the offset (which is the one that was broken here) is only used by filter_pred_strloc which only acts on strings for which the size of the type is 1.

But module.h requires seeing HAVE_JUMP_LABEL which is set in jump_label.h which it just coincidentally gets from tracepoint.h.

2014-03-07tracing: Warn if a tracepoint is not set via debugfsSteven Rostedt
Tracepoints were made to allow enabling a tracepoint in a module before that module was loaded. When a tracepoint is enabled and it does not exist, the name is stored and will be enabled when the tracepoint is created. The problem with this approach is that when a tracepoint is enabled when it expects to be there, it gives no warning that it does not exist. To add salt to the wound, if a module is added and sets the FORCED flag, which can happen if it isn't signed properly, the tracepoint code will not enabled the tracepoints, but they will be created in the debugfs system! When a user goes to enable the tracepoint, the tracepoint code will not see it existing and will think it is to be enabled later AND WILL NOT GIVE A WARNING. The tracing will look like it succeeded but will actually be doing nothing. This will cause lots of confusion and headaches for developers trying to figure out why they are not seeing their tracepoints.

2014-03-07tracing: Use helper functions in event assignment to shrink macro sizeSteven Rostedt
The functions that assign the contents for the ftrace events are defined by the TRACE_EVENT() macros. Each event has its own unique way to assign data to its buffer. When you have over 500 events, that means there's 500 functions assigning data uniquely for each event (not really that many, as DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and multiple DEFINE_EVENT()s will only need a single function). By making helper functions in the core kernel to do some of the work instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit. With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was: text data bss dec hex filename 12987390 1913504 9785344 24686238 178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux 12959102 1913504 9785344 24657950 178401e /tmp/vmlinux.patched That's a total of 28288 bytes, which comes down to 56 bytes per event.

2014-03-07tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone functionSteven Rostedt
The code that shows array fields for events is defined for all events. This can add up quite a bit when you have over 500 events. By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit. With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was: text data bss dec hex filename 12990946 1913568 9785344 24689858 178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux 12987390 1913504 9785344 24686238 178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux.patched That's a total of 3556 bytes, which comes down to 7 bytes per event.

2014-03-07tracing: Move raw output code from macro to standalone functionSteven Rostedt
The code for trace events to format the raw recorded event data into human readable format in the 'trace' file is repeated for every event in the system. When you have over 500 events, this can add up quite a bit. By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit. With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was: text data bss dec hex filename 12991007 1913568 9785344 24689919 178bcff /tmp/vmlinux.orig 12990946 1913568 9785344 24689858 178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux.patched Note, this version does not save as much as the version of this patch I had a few years ago. That is because in the mean time, commit f71130de5c7f ("tracing: Add a helper function for event print functions") did a lot of the work my original patch did. But this change helps slightly, and is part of a larger clean up to reduce the size much further.

2014-03-03ftrace/x86: One more missing sync after fixup of function modification failurePetr Mladek
If a failure occurs while modifying ftrace function, it bails out and will remove the tracepoints to be back to what the code originally was. There is missing the final sync run across the CPUs after the fix up is done and before the ftrace int3 handler flag is reset. Here's the description of the problem: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- remove_breakpoint(); modifying_ftrace_code = 0; [still sees breakpoint] <takes trap> [sees modifying_ftrace_code as zero] [no breakpoint handler] [goto failed case] [trap exception - kernel breakpoint, no handler] BUG() Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1393258342-29978-2-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.cz Fixes: 8a4d0a687a5 "ftrace: Use breakpoint method to update ftrace caller" Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: H.

2014-03-03ftrace/x86: Run a sync after fixup on failureSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
If a failure occurs while enabling a trace, it bails out and will remove the tracepoints to be back to what the code originally was. But the fix up had some bugs in it. By injecting a failure in the code, the fix up ran to completion, but shortly afterward the system rebooted. There was two bugs here. The first was that there was no final sync run across the CPUs after the fix up was done, and before the ftrace int3 handler flag was reset. That means that other CPUs could still see the breakpoint and trigger on it long after the flag was cleared, and the int3 handler would think it was a spurious interrupt. Worse yet, the int3 handler could hit other breakpoints because the ftrace int3 handler flag would have prevented the int3 handler from going further. Here's a description of the issue: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- remove_breakpoint(); modifying_ftrace_code = 0; [still sees breakpoint] <takes trap> [sees modifying_ftrace_code as zero] [no breakpoint handler] [goto failed case] [trap exception - kernel breakpoint, no handler] BUG() The second bug was that the removal of the breakpoints required the "within()" logic updates instead of accessing the ip address directly. As the kernel text is mapped read-only when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, and the removal of the breakpoint is a modification of the kernel text. The ftrace_write() includes the "within()" logic, where as, the probe_kernel_write() does not. This prevented the breakpoint from being removed at all.

2014-02-20tracing: Add trace_clock=<clock> kernel parameterSteven Rostedt
Being able to change the trace clock at boot can be advantageous if you need a better source of when things happen across CPUs. The default trace clock is the fastest, but it uses local clocks which may not be synced across CPUs and it does not let you know when events took place with respect to events on other CPUs. The global trace clock can help in this case, and if you do not care about timings, the counter "clock" is the best, as that is just a simple atomic counter that is incremented for every event. Usage is to add "trace_clock=counter" on the kernel command line. You can replace counter with "global" or any of the clocks listed in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Appreciated-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Rename them with double underscores to follow convention of kprobe.

2014-02-20ftrace: Allow for function tracing instance to filter functionsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Create a "set_ftrace_filter" and "set_ftrace_notrace" files in the instance directories to let users filter of functions to trace for the given instance. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2014-02-20ftrace: Pass in global_ops for use with filtering filesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
In preparation for having the function tracing instances be able to filter on functions, the generic filter functions must first be converted to take in the global_ops as a parameter. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2014-02-20ftrace: Allow instances to use function tracingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Allow instances (sub-buffers) to enable function tracing. Each instance will have its own function tracing capability. For now, instances will not have function stack tracing, or will they be able to pick and choose what functions they can trace. Picking and choosing their own functions will come later. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2014-02-20tracing: Convert tracer->enabled to counterSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
As tracers will soon be used by instances, the tracer enabled field needs to be converted to a counter instead of a boolean. This counter is protected by the trace_types_lock mutex. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2014-02-20tracing: Disable tracers before deletion of instanceSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
When an instance is about to be deleted, make sure the tracer is set to nop. If it isn't reset the tracer and set it to the nop tracer, otherwise memory leaks and bad pointers may result. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2014-02-20ftrace: Copy ops private to global_ops privateSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
If global_ops function is being called directly, instead of the global_ops list function, set the global_ops private to be the same as the ops private that's being called directly. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2014-02-20ftrace: Add private data to ftrace_opsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Passing data to the function callback was originally done by adding the ftrace_ops in another structure, and using the container_of() to get the field. But this adds a bit more complexity than it is worth, and adding a simple .private field to ftrace_ops makes things a lot easier. But be warned, the .private data should not be freed once it is used unless the ftrace_ops itself has gone through the necessary freeing routines. A simple synchronize_sched() is not enough as functions can be traced that are called outside the view of RCU and all its concoctions. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2014-02-20tracing: Only let top level have option filesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Currently, only the top level instance can have tracing options. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2014-02-20tracing: Set up infrastructure to allow tracers for instancesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Currently the tracers (function, function_graph, irqsoff, etc) can only be used by the top level tracing directory (not for instances). This sets up the infrastructure to allow instances to be able to run a separate tracer apart from the what the top level tracing is doing. As tracers need to adapt for being used by instances, the tracers must flag if they can be used by instances or not. Currently only the 'nop' tracer can be used by all instances.

2014-02-20tracing: Pass trace_array to flag_changed callbackSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
As options (flags) may affect instances instead of being global the flag_changed() callbacks need to receive the trace_array descriptor of the instance they will be modifying. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2014-02-20tracing: Pass trace_array to set_flag callbackSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
As options (flags) may affect instances instead of being global the set_flag() callbacks need to receive the trace_array descriptor of the instance they will be modifying. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2014-02-15of: search the best compatible match first in __of_match_node()Kevin Hao
Currently, of_match_node compares each given match against all node's compatible strings with of_device_is_compatible. To achieve multiple compatible strings per node with ordering from specific to generic, this requires given matches to be ordered from specific to generic. For most of the drivers this is not true and also an alphabetical ordering is more sane there. Therefore, this patch introduces a function to match each of the node's compatible strings against all given compatible matches without type and name first, before checking the next compatible string. This implies that node's compatibles are ordered from specific to generic while given matches can be in any order. If we fail to find such a match entry, then fall-back to the old method in order to keep compatibility.
