The current method of printing out a stack trace is to add a new line and print out the trace: yum-updatesd-3120 [002] 573.691303: => do_softirq => irq_exit => smp_apic_timer_interrupt => apic_timer_interrupt This looks a bit awkward, and if we have both stack and user stack traces running, it would be nice to have a title to tell them apart, although it is easy to tell by the output. This patch adds an annotation to the start of the stack traces: init-1 [003] 929.304979: <stack trace> => user_path_at => vfs_fstatat => vfs_stat => sys_newstat => system_call_fastpath cat-3459 [002] 1016.824040: <user stack trace> => <0000003aae6c0250> => <00007ffff4b06ae4> => <69636172742f6775> Signed-off-by:Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Here is an updated patch to include the extra call to trace_seq_init() as requested. This is vs. the latest -tip tree and fixes the use of multiple __print_flags and __print_symbolic in a single tracer.

According to "events/ftrace/kernel_stack/format", output format of kernel stack should use "=>" instead of "<=". The second problem is that we shouldn't skip the first entry in the stack, although it seems to be duplicated when used in the "function" tracer, but events also use it. If we skip the first one, we will drop the topmost entry of the stack. The last problem is that if the last entry is ULONG_MAX(0xffffffff), we should drop it, otherwise it will print a NULL name line. before fix: sh-1072 [000] 26.957239: sched_process_fork: parent sh:1072 child sh:1073 sh-1072 [000] 26.957262: <= syscall_call <= sh-1072 [000] 26.957744: sched_switch: task sh:1072 [120] (R) ==> sh:1073 [120] sh-1072 [000] 26.957752: <= preempt_schedule <= wake_up_new_task <= do_fork <= sys_clone <= syscall_call <= After fix: sh-1075 [000] 39.791848: sched_process_fork: parent sh:1075 child sh:1076 sh-1075 [000] 39.791871: => sys_clone => syscall_call sh-1075 [000] 39.792713: sched_switch: task sh:1075 [120] (R) ==> sh:1076 [120] sh-1075 [000] 39.792722: => schedule => preempt_schedule => wake_up_new_task => do_fork => sys_clone => syscall_call Signed-off-by: -

The last entry in the stack_dump_trace is ULONG_MAX, which is not a valid entry, but max_stack_trace.nr_entries has accounted for it. So when printing the header, we should decrease it by one. Before fix, print as following, for example: Depth Size Location (53 entries) <--- should be 52 ----- ---- -------- 0) 3264 108 update_wall_time+0x4d5/0x9a0 ... 51) 80 80 syscall_call+0x7/0xb ^^^ it's correct.

Every buffer page in the ring buffer includes its own time stamp. When an event is recorded to the ring buffer with a delta time greater than what can be held in the event header, a time stamp event is created. If the the create timestamp falls over to the next buffer page, it is redundant because the buffer page holds a full time stamp. This patch will try to discard the time stamp when it falls to the start of the next page. This change also fixes a issues with disarding events. If most events are discarded, timestamps will start to creep into the ring buffer. If we do not discard the timestamps then they can fill up the ring buffer over time and waste space. This change will keep time stamps from filling up over another page. If something is recorded in the buffer page, and the rest is filtered, then the time stamps can only fill up to the end of the page.

There are times that a race may happen that we add a timestamp in a nested write. This timestamp would just contain a zero delta and serves no purpose. Now that we have a way to discard events, this patch will try to discard the timestamp instead of just wasting the space in the ring buffer. Signed-off-by: -

There's a bug in ring_buffer_discard_commit. The wrong pointer is being compared in order to check if the event can be freed from the buffer rather than discarded (i.e. marked as PAD). I noticed this when I was working on duration filtering. The bug is not deadly - it just results in lots of wasted space in the buffer. All filtered events are left in the buffer and marked as discarded, rather than being removed from the buffer to make space for other events. Unfortunately, when I fixed this bug, I got errors doing a filtered function trace. Multiple TIME_EXTEND events pile up in the buffer, and trigger the following loop overage warning in rb_iter_peek(): again: ... if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, ++nr_loops > 10)) return NULL; I'm not sure what the best way is to fix this. I don't know if I should extend the loop threshhold, or if I should make the test more complex (ignore TIME_EXTEND events), or just get rid of this loop check completely. Note that if I implement a workaround for this, then I see another problem from rb_advance_iter(). I haven't tracked that one down yet. In general, it seems like the case of removing filtered events has not been working properly, and so some assumptions about buffer invariant conditions need to be revisited. Here's the patch for the simple fix: Compare correct pointer for checking if an event can be freed rather than left as discarded in the buffer. Signed-off-by:

A race was found that if one were to enable and disable the function profiler repeatedly, then the system can panic. This was because a profiled function may be preempted just before disabling interrupts. While the profiler is disabled and then reenabled, the preempted function could start again, and access the hash as it is being initialized. This just adds a check in the irq disabled part to check if the profiler is enabled, and if it is not then it will just exit. When the system is disabled, the profile_enabled variable is cleared before calling the unregistering of the function profiler. This unregistering calls stop machine which also acts as a synchronize schedule. [ Impact: fix panic in enabling/disabling function profiler ] Signed-off-by: -

The trace_pipe did not recognize the latency format flag and would produce different output than the trace file. The problem was partly due that the trace flags in the iterator was not set as well as the trace_pipe zeros out part of the iterator (including the flags) to be able to use the same routines as the trace file. trace_flags of the iterator should not cause any problems when not zeroed out by for trace_pipe.

__string() is limited: - it's a char array, but we may want to define array with other types - a source string should be available, but we may just know the string size We introduce __dynamic_array() to break those limitations, and __string() becomes a wrapper of it. As a side effect, now __get_str() can be used in TP_fast_assign but not only TP_print. Take XFS for example, we have the string length in the dirent, but the string itself is not NULL-terminated, so __dynamic_array() can be used: TRACE_EVENT(xfs_dir2, TP_PROTO(struct xfs_da_args *args), TP_ARGS(args), TP_STRUCT__entry( __field(int, namelen) __dynamic_array(char, name, args->namelen + 1) ... ), TP_fast_assign( char *name = __get_str(name); if (args->namelen) memcpy(name, args->name, args->namelen); name[args->namelen] = '\0'; __entry->namelen = args->namelen; ), TP_printk("name %.*s namelen %d", __entry->namelen ? __get_str(name) : NULL __entry->namelen) ); [ Impact: allow defining dynamic size arrays ] Signed-off-by:Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <4A2384D2.3080403@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by:

Both event tracer and sched switch plugin are selected by default by all generic tracers. But if no generic tracer is enabled, their options appear.

There are two options that are selected by all tracers, but we want to have those options available when no tracer is selected. These are The event tracer and sched switch tracer. The are enabled by all tracers, but if a tracer is not selected we want the options to appear. All tracers including them select TRACING. Thus what we would like to do is: config EVENT_TRACER bool "prompt" depends on TRACING select TRACING But that gives us a bug in the kbuild system since we just created a circular dependency. We only want the prompt to show when TRACING is off. This patch adds GENERIC_TRACER that all tracers will select instead of TRACING. The two options (sched switch and event tracer) will select TRACING directly and depend on !GENERIC_TRACER. This solves the cicular dependency.

When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called. This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands. ftrace_notrace=function-list ftrace_filter=function-list Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter. The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions listed. These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively. The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also be used by the command line interface. ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin* Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has the word spin in it. Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering set by the command lines. Signed-off-by:

Developers have been asking for the ability in the ftrace event tracer to display names of bits in a flags variable. Instead of printing out c2, it would be easier to read FOO|BAR|GOO, assuming that FOO is bit 1, BAR is bit 6 and GOO is bit 7. Some examples where this would be useful are the state flags in a context switch, kmalloc flags, and even permision flags in accessing files. [ v2 changes include: Frederic Weisbecker's idea of using a mask instead of bits, thus we can output GFP_KERNEL instead of GPF_WAIT|GFP_IO|GFP_FS. Li Zefan's idea of allowing the caller of __print_flags to add their own delimiter (or no delimiter) where we can get for file permissions rwx instead of r|w|x. ] [ v3 changes: Christoph Hellwig's idea of using an array instead of va_args. ] [ Impact: better displaying of flags in trace output ] Signed-off-by:

If we enable a trace event alone without any tracer running (such as function tracer, sched switch tracer, etc...) it can't output enough task command information. We need to use the tracing_{start/stop}_cmdline_record() helpers which are designed to keep track of cmdlines for any tasks that were scheduled during the tracing.

I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction through ftrace_find_event(). This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race window between any event dereferencing and module removal. Eg: --Task A-- print_trace_line(trace) { event = find_ftrace_event(trace) --Task B-- trace_module_remove_events(mod) { list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) { unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) { hlist_del(ev->event->node) list_del(....) } } } |--> module removed, the event has been dropped --Task A-- event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data from a freed module. RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code. So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore, and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().
