Impact: rename of debugfs file trace_entries to buffer_size_kb The original ftrace had fixed size entries, and the number of entries was shown and modified via the file called trace_entries. By converting to the unified trace buffer, we now allow for variable size entries which makes the meaning of trace_entries pointless. Since trace_size might be confused to the size of the trace, this patch names it "buffer_size_kb" (thanks to Arjan van de Ven for this idea). [ mingo@elte.hu: changed from buffer_size to buffer_size_kb ] ( Note, the units are still bytes - the next patch changes that, to keep the wide rename patch separate from the unit-change patch. ) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: Optimize a bit the function return tracer This patch changes the calling convention of prepare_ftrace_return to pass its arguments by register. This will optimize it a bit and prepare it to support dynamic tracing. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: remove spinlocks and irq disabling in function return tracer. I've tried to figure out all of the race condition that could happen when the tracer pushes or pops a return address trace to/from the current thread_info. Theory: _ One thread can only execute on one cpu at a time. So this code doesn't need to be SMP-safe. Just drop the spinlock. _ The only race could happen between the current thread and an interrupt. If an interrupt is raised, it will increase the index of the return stack storage and then execute until the end of the tracing to finally free the index it used. We don't need to disable irqs. This is theorical. In practice, I've tested it with a two-core SMP and had no problem at all. Perhaps -tip testing could confirm it.

Impact: File name change of trace_unlikely.c The "unlikely" name for the tracer is quite ugly. We renamed all the parts of it to "branch" and now it is time to rename the file too. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: added new branch tracer Currently the tracing of branch profiling (unlikelys and likelys hit) is only activated by the iter_ctrl. This patch adds a tracer called "branch" that will just trace the branch profiling. The advantage of adding this tracer is that it can be added to the ftrace selftests on startup.

Impact: rename of iter_ctrl unlikely to branch The unlikely name is ugly. This patch converts the iter_ctrl command "unlikely" and "nounlikely" to "branch" and "nobranch" respectively. It also renames a lot of internal functions to use "branch" instead of "unlikely". Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: name change of unlikely tracer and profiler Ingo Molnar suggested changing the config from UNLIKELY_PROFILE to BRANCH_PROFILING.

Impact: new likely/unlikely branch tracer This patch adds a way to record the instances of the likely() and unlikely() branch condition annotations. When "unlikely" is set in /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl the unlikely conditions will be added to any of the ftrace tracers. The change takes effect when a new tracer is passed into the current_tracer file. For example: bash-3471 [003] 357.014755: [INCORRECT] sched_info_dequeued:sched_stats.h:177 bash-3471 [003] 357.014756: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489 bash-3471 [003] 357.014758: [correct] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411 bash-3471 [003] 357.014759: [correct] account_group_exec_runtime:sched_stats.h:356 bash-3471 [003] 357.014761: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489 bash-3471 [003] 357.014763: [INCORRECT] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411 bash-3471 [003] 357.014765: [correct] calc_delta_mine:sched.c:1279 Which shows the normal tracer heading, as well as whether the condition was correct "[correct]" or was mistaken "[INCORRECT]", followed by the function, file name and line number.

Impact: new unlikely/likely profiler Andrew Morton recently suggested having an in-kernel way to profile likely and unlikely macros. This patch achieves that goal. When configured, every(*) likely and unlikely macro gets a counter attached to it. When the condition is hit, the hit and misses of that condition are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by: /debugfs/tracing/profile_likely - All likely markers /debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely - All unlikely markers. # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | head correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 2167 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 832 0 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 804 2670 0 0 IS_ERR err.h 34 71230 5693 7 __switch_to process_64.c 673 76919 0 0 __switch_to process_64.c 639 43184 33743 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12740 64181 83 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12740 64174 83 __switch_to process_64.c 590 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | \ awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' |head -20 44963 35259 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12762 67454 84 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12762 67447 84 __switch_to process_64.c 590 1478 595 28 syscall_get_error syscall.h 51 0 2821 100 syscall_trace_leave ptrace.c 1567 0 1 100 native_smp_prepare_cpus smpboot.c 1237 86338 265881 75 calc_delta_fair sched_fair.c 408 210410 108540 34 calc_delta_mine sched.c 1267 0 54550 100 sched_info_queued sched_stats.h 222 51899 66435 56 pick_next_task_fair sched_fair.c 1422 6 10 62 yield_task_fair sched_fair.c 982 7325 2692 26 rt_policy sched.c 144 0 1270 100 pre_schedule_rt sched_rt.c 1261 1268 48073 97 pick_next_task_rt sched_rt.c 884 0 45181 100 sched_info_dequeued sched_stats.h 177 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8700 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8690 53167 33217 38 schedule sched.c 4457 0 80208 100 sched_info_switch sched_stats.h 270 30585 49631 61 context_switch sched.c 2619 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_likely | awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' 39900 36577 47 pick_next_task sched.c 4397 20824 15233 42 switch_mm mmu_context_64.h 18 0 7 100 __cancel_work_timer workqueue.c 560 617 66484 99 clocksource_adjust timekeeping.c 456 0 346340 100 audit_syscall_exit auditsc.c 1570 38 347350 99 audit_get_context auditsc.c 732 0 345244 100 audit_syscall_entry auditsc.c 1541 38 1017 96 audit_free auditsc.c 1446 0 1090 100 audit_alloc auditsc.c 862 2618 1090 29 audit_alloc auditsc.c 858 0 6 100 move_masked_irq migration.c 9 1 198 99 probe_sched_wakeup trace_sched_switch.c 58 2 2 50 probe_wakeup trace_sched_wakeup.c 227 0 2 100 probe_wakeup_sched_switch trace_sched_wakeup.c 144 4514 2090 31 __grab_cache_page filemap.c 2149 12882 228786 94 mapping_unevictable pagemap.h 50 4 11 73 __flush_cpu_slab slub.c 1466 627757 330451 34 slab_free slub.c 1731 2959 61245 95 dentry_lru_del_init dcache.c 153 946 1217 56 load_elf_binary binfmt_elf.c 904 102 82 44 disk_put_part genhd.h 206 1 1 50 dst_gc_task dst.c 82 0 19 100 tcp_mss_split_point tcp_output.c 1126 As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits that were more than 25%. Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up the following ideas from: 1) Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values. 2) Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers. 3) Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely annotations from vsyscall_64.c. Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar for their feed back on this patch. (*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls (a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

Impact: disable preemption when calling sched_clock() The ring_buffer_time_stamp still uses sched_clock as its counter. But it is a bug to call it with preemption enabled. This requirement should not be pushed to the ring_buffer_time_stamp callers, so the ring_buffer_time_stamp needs to disable preemption when calling sched_clock.

Impact: Split the boot tracer entries in two parts: call and return Now that we are using the sched tracer from the boot tracer, we want to use the same timestamp than the ring-buffer to have consistent time captures between sched events and initcall events. So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the ring buffer timestamp of both.

Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the ring buffers called: tracing_on() tracing_off() When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record into their buffers. tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again. These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called. A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called tracing_on This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch. echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on disables the tracing. echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on enables it. Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers. The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled. There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers: tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers. buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled. cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if an anomaly occurred. The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel called tracing_stop(). Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it. It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit. tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace can reenable it at any time. Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

Impact: serialize reader accesses to individual CPU ring buffers The code in the ring buffer expects only one reader at a time, but currently it puts that requirement on the caller. This is not strong enough, and this patch adds a "reader_lock" that serializes the access to the reader API of the ring buffer.
