Hi Ingo/Steven, Ftrace currently maintains an update count which includes false updates, i.e, updates which failed. If anything, such failures should be tracked by some separate variable, but this patch provides a minimal fix. Signed-off-by:

Hi Steven, I noticed that concurrent instances of ftrace_record_ip() have a race between ftrace_hash list traversal during ftrace_ip_in_hash() (before acquiring ftrace_shutdown_lock) and ftrace_add_hash(). If it's so then this should fix it. Signed-off-by:

While debugging latencies in the RT kernel, I found that it would be nice to be able to filter away functions from the trace than just to filter on functions. I added a new interface to the debugfs tracing directory called set_ftrace_notrace When dynamic frace is enabled, this lets you filter away functions that will not be recorded in the trace. It is similar to adding 'notrace' to those functions but by doing it without recompiling the kernel. Here's how set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace interact. Remember, if set_ftrace_filter is set, it removes all functions from the trace execpt for those listed in the set_ftrace_filter. set_ftrace_notrace will prevent those functions from being traced. If you were to set one function in both set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace and that function was the same, then you would end up with an empty trace. the set of functions to trace is: set_ftrace_filter == empty then all functions not in set_ftrace_notrace else set of the set_ftrace_filter and not in set of set_ftrace_notrace.

Printing out new max latencies was fine for the old RT tracer. But for mainline it is a bit messy. We also need to test if the run queue is locked before we can do the print. This means that we may not be printing out latencies if the run queue is locked on another CPU. This produces inconsistencies in the output. This patch simply removes the print altogether.

The check_pages function is called often enough that it can cause problems with trace outputs or even bringing the system to a halt. This patch limits the check_pages to the places that are most likely to have problems. The check is made at the flip between the global array and the max save array, as well as when the size of the buffers changes and the self tests. This patch also removes the BUG_ON from check_pages and replaces it with a WARN_ON and disabling of the tracer. Signed-off-by:

Now that ftrace is being ported to other architectures, it has become apparent that DYNAMIC_FTRACE is dependent on whether or not that architecture implements dynamic ftrace. FTRACE itself may be ported to an architecture without porting dynamic ftrace. This patch adds HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE to allow architectures to port ftrace without having to also port the dynamic aspect as well. Signed-off-by:

We currently have a way to add special CFLAGS to code, but we do not have a way to remove them if needed. With the case of ftrace, some files should simply not be profiled. Adding the -pg flag to these files is simply a waste, and adding "notrace" to each and every function is ugly. Currently we put in "Makefile turd" [1] to stop the compiler from adding -pg to certain files. This was clumsy and awkward. This patch now adds the revese of CFLAGS_(basename).o with CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o. This allows developers to prevent certain CFLAGS from being used to compile files. For example, we can now do CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg to remove the -pg option from the string.o file in the lib directory. Note: a space delimited list of options may be added to the REMOVE macro.

David S. Miller noticed the following bug: the -pg instrumentation function callback is named differently on each platform. On x86 it is mcount, on sparc it is _mcount. So the export does not make sense in kernel/trace/ftrace.c - move it to x86. Signed-off-by:

It causes unaligned access traps on platforms like sparc (ftrace_page may be marked packed, but once we return a dyn_ftrace sub-object from this array to another piece of code, the "packed" part of the typing information doesn't propagate). But also, it didn't serve any purpose either. Even if packed, on 64-bit or 32-bit, it didn't give us any more dyn_ftrace entries per-page. Signed-off-by:

Very good point. I actually thought about dropping it, since it would remove an unnecessary argument from the stack. And actually, since I now have the marker_probe_cb sitting between the marker site and the callbacks, there is no API change required. Thanks :) Mathieu Signed-off-by: -

Currently there is no protection from the root user to use up all of memory for trace buffers. If the root user allocates too many entries, the OOM killer might start kill off all tasks. This patch adds an algorith to check the following condition: pages_requested > (freeable_memory + current_trace_buffer_pages) / 4 If the above is met then the allocation fails. The above prevents more than 1/4th of freeable memory from being used by trace buffers. To determine the freeable_memory, I made determine_dirtyable_memory in mm/page-writeback.c global. Special thanks goes to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting the above calculation. Signed-off-by:

Due to debug hooks in the kernel that can change the way smp_processor_id works, use raw_smp_processor_id in mcount called functions (namely ftrace_record_ip). Currently we annotate most debug functions from calling mcount, but we should not rely on that to prevent kernel lockups. This patch uses the raw_smp_processor_id to prevent a recusive crash that can happen if a debug hook in smp_processor_id calls mcount. Signed-off-by:
