__start_mcount_loc[] is unused after init, yet occupies RAM forever as part of .rodata. 152kiB is typical on a 64-bit architecture. Instead, __start_mcount_loc should be in the interval [__init_begin, __init_end) so that the space is reclaimed after init. __start_mcount_loc[] is generated during the load portion of kernel build, and is used only by ftrace_init(). ftrace_init is declared '__init' and is in .init.text, which is freed after init. __start_mcount_loc is placed into .rodata by a call to MCOUNT_REC inside the RO_DATA macro of include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. The array *is* read-only, but more importantly it is not used after init. So the call to MCOUNT_REC should be moved from RO_DATA to INIT_DATA. This patch has been tested on x86_64 with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC=y which verifies that the address range never is accessed after init.

The state of the function pair tracing_stop()/tracing_start() is correctly considered when tracer data are updated. However, the global and externally accessible variable tracing_max_latency is always updated - even when tracing is stopped. The update should only occur, if tracing was not stopped.

Convert the writing to 'set_graph_function', 'set_ftrace_filter' and 'set_ftrace_notrace' to use the generic trace_parser 'trace_get_user' function. Removed FTRACE_ITER_CONT flag, since it's not needed after this change. Minor fix in set_graph_function display - g_show function.

This patch adds the lock depth of the big kernel lock to the generic entry header. This way we can see the depth of the lock and help in removing the BKL.

The userstack trace required the recording of the tgid entry. Unfortunately, it was added to the generic entry where it wasted 4 bytes of every entry and was only used by one entry. This patch moves it out of the generic field and moves it into the only user (userstack_entry). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

While debugging something with the function_graph tracer, I found the need to see the preempt count of the traces. Unfortunately, since the function graph tracer has its own output formatting, it does not honor the latency-format option. This patch makes the function_graph tracer honor the latency-format option, but still keeps control of the output. But now we have the same details that the latency-format supplies. # tracer: function_graph # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / # |||| # CPU|||| DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | |||| | | | | | | 3) d..1 1.333 us | idle_cpu(); 3) d.h1 | tick_check_idle() { 3) d.h1 0.550 us | tick_check_oneshot_broadcast(); 3) d.h1 | tick_nohz_stop_idle() { 3) d.h1 | ktime_get() { 3) d.h1 | ktime_get_ts() { Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The dynamic function tracer relys on the macro P6_NOP5 always being an atomic NOP. If for some reason it is changed to be two operations (like a nop2 nop3) it can faults within the kernel when the function tracer modifies the code. This patch adds a comment to note that the P6_NOPs are expected to be atomic. This will hopefully prevent anyone from changing that.

The wakeup tracer, when enabled, has its own function tracer. It only traces the functions on the CPU where the task it is following is on. If a task is woken on one CPU but then migrates to another CPU before it wakes up, the latency tracer will then start tracing functions on the other CPU. To find which CPU the task is on, the wakeup function tracer performs a task_cpu(wakeup_task). But to make sure the task does not disappear it grabs the wakeup_lock, which is also taken when the task wakes up. By taking this lock, the function tracer does not need to worry about the task being freed as it checks its cpu. Jan Blunck found a problem with this approach on his 32 CPU box. When a task is being traced by the wakeup tracer, all functions take this lock. That means that on all 32 CPUs, each function call is taking this one lock to see if the task is on that CPU. This lock has just serialized all functions on all 32 CPUs. Needless to say, this caused major issues on that box. It would even lockup. This patch changes the wakeup latency to insert a probe on the migrate task tracepoint. When a task changes its CPU that it will run on, the probe will take note. Now the wakeup function tracer no longer needs to take the lock. It only compares the current CPU with a variable that holds the current CPU the task is on. We don't worry about races since it is OK to add or miss a function trace.

rb_buffer_peek() operates with struct ring_buffer_per_cpu *cpu_buffer only. Thus, instead of passing variables buffer and cpu it is better to use cpu_buffer directly. This also reduces the risk of races since cpu_buffer is not calculated twice.
