The tracing engine have now to be init in early_initcall to set the boot tracer. Only the debugfs settings will be initialized at fs_initcall time. Signed-off-by:

Frédéric Weisbecker authored
Add the boot/initcall tracer. It's primary purpose is to be able to trace the initcalls. It is intended to be used with scripts/bootgraph.pl after some small improvements. Note that it is not active after its init. To avoid tracing (and so crashing) before the whole tracing engine init, you have to explicitly call start_boot_trace() after do_pre_smp_initcalls() to enable it. Signed-off-by:

When optimizing the kernel boot time, it's very valuable to visualize what is going on at which time. In addition, with the fastboot asynchronous initcall level, it's very valuable to see which initcall gets run where and when. This patch adds a script to turn a dmesg into a SVG graph (that can be shown with tools such as InkScape, Gimp or Firefox) and a small change to the initcall code to print the PID of the thread calling the initcall (so that the script can work out the parallelism).

bit-field is not thread-safe nor smp-safe. struct marker_entry.rcu_pending is not protected by any lock in rcu-callback free_old_closure(). so we must turn it into a safe type. detail: I suppose rcu_pending and ptype are store in struct marker_entry.tmp1 free_old_closure() side: change ptype side: | load struct marker_entry.tmp1 --------------------------------|-------------------------------- | change ptype bit in tmp1 load struct marker_entry.tmp1 | change rcu_pending bit in tmp1 | store tmp1 | --------------------------------|-------------------------------- | store tmp1 now this result equals that free_old_closure() do not change rcu_pending bit, bug!

Turn marker synchronize unregister into a static inline. There is no reason to keep it as a macro over a static inline. Signed-off-by:
-
Mathieu Desnoyers authored
Lai Jiangshan discovered a reentrancy issue with markers and fixed it by adding synchronize_sched() calls at each registration/unregistraiton. It works, but it removes the ability to do batch registration/unregistration and can cause registration of ~100 markers to take about 30 seconds on a loaded machine (synchronize_sched() is much slower on such workloads). This patch implements a version of the fix which won't slow down marker batch registration/unregistration. It also go back to the original non-synchronized reg/unreg. Signed-off-by:

unregister bug: codes using makers are typically calling marker_probe_unregister() and then destroying the data that marker_probe_func needs(or unloading this module). This is bug when the corresponding marker_probe_func is still running(on other cpus), it is using the destroying/ed data. we should call synchronize_sched() after marker_update_probes(). reenter bug: marker_probe_register(), marker_probe_unregister() and marker_probe_unregister_private_data() are not reentrant safe functions. these 3 functions release markers_mutex and then require it again and do "entry->oldptr = old; ...", but entry->oldptr maybe is using now for these 3 functions may reenter when markers_mutex is released. we use synchronize_sched() instead of call_rcu_sched() to fix this bug. actually we can do: " if (entry->rcu_pending) rcu_barrier_sched(); " after require markers_mutex again. but synchronize_sched() is better and simpler. For these 3 functions are not critical path. Signed-off-by:

With the recent updates to ftrace, there should not be any failures when modifying the code. If there is, then we need to warn about it. This patch has a cleaned up version of the code that I used to discover that the weak symbols were causing failures. Signed-off-by:

Replace "none" tracer by the recently created "nop" tracer. Both are pretty similar except that nop accepts TRACE_PRINT or TRACE_SPECIAL entries. And as a consequence, changing the size of the ring buffer now requires that tracing has already been disabled. Signed-off-by:

This must be brown paper bag week for Steven Rostedt! While working on ftrace for PPC, I discovered that the hash locking done when CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD is not set, is totally incorrect. With a cut and paste error, I had the hash lock macro to lock for both hash_lock _and_ hash_unlock! This bug did not affect x86 since this bug was introduced when CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD was added to x86. Signed-off-by:

Steven Rostedt authored
An item in the trace buffer that is bigger than one entry may be split up using the TRACE_CONT entry. This makes it a virtual single entry. The current code increments the iterator index even while traversing TRACE_CONT entries, making it look like the iterator is further than it actually is. This patch adds code to not increment the iterator index while skipping over TRACE_CONT entries. Signed-off-by:

Peter Zijlstra provided me with a nice brown paper bag while letting me know that I was doing a logical AND and not a binary one, making a condition true more often than it should be. Luckily, a false true is handled by the calling function and no harm is done. But this needs to be fixed regardless. Signed-off-by:
