Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as: # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event. It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to synthetic events via the trace() action. With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined: # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either dynamic or static strings: # echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file. [ <rostedt@goodmis.org>: added __set_synth_event_print_fmt() changes: I added the following to make it work with trace-cmd. Dynamic strings must have __get_str() for events in the print_fmt otherwise it can't be parsed correctly. ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1601588066.git.zanussi@kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/3ed35b6d0e390f5b94cb4a9ba1cc18f5982ab277.1601848695.git.zanussi@kernel.orgTested-by:

String variables created as field variables and save variables are already handled properly by having their values copied when set. The same isn't done for normal variables, but needs to be - simply saving a pointer to a string contained in an old event isn't sufficient, since that event's data may quickly become overwritten and therefore a string pointer to it could yield garbage. This change uses the same mechanism as field variables and simply appends the new strings to the existing per-element field_var_str[] array allocated for that purpose.

synth_field_size() returns either a positive size or an error (zero or a negative value). However, the existing code assumes the only error value is 0. It doesn't handle negative error codes, as it assigns directly to field->size (a size_t; unsigned), thereby interpreting the error code as a valid size instead. Do the test before assignment to field->size.

32 is too small for this value, and anyway it makes more sense to use MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL, as this is also the value used for variable-length __strings. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/6adfd1668ac1fd8670bd58206944a762061a5559.1601848695.git.zanussi@kernel.orgTested-by:

7f47d8cc ("x86, tracing, perf: Add trace point for MSR accesses") added tracing of msr read and write, but because of complexity in having tracepoints in headers, and even more so for a core header like msr.h, not to mention the bloat a tracepoint adds to inline functions, a helper function is needed to be called from the header. Use the new tracepoint_enabled() macro in tracepoint-defs.h to test if the tracepoint is active before calling the helper function, instead of open coding the same logic, which requires knowing the internals of a tracepoint.

As more use cases of checking if a tracepoint is enabled in a header are coming to fruition, a helper macro, tracepoint_enabled(), has been added to check if a tracepoint is enabled or not, and can be used with minimal header requirements (avoid "include hell"). Convert the page_ref logic over to the new helper macro.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
As tracepoints are discouraged from being added in a header because it can cause side effects if other tracepoints are in headers, as well as bloat the kernel as the trace_<tracepoint>() function is not a small inline, the common workaround is to add a function call that calls a wrapper function in a C file that then calls the tracepoint. But as function calls add overhead, this function should only be called when the tracepoint in question is enabled. To get around this overhead, a static_branch can be used to only have the tracepoint wrapper get called when the tracepoint is enabled. Add a tracepoint_enabled(tp) macro that gets passed the name of the tracepoint, and this becomes a static_branch that is enabled when the tracepoint is enabled and is a nop when the tracepoint is disabled.

It seems that alloc_retstack_tasklist() can also take a lockless approach for scanning the tasklist, instead of using the big global tasklist_lock. For this we also kill another deprecated and rcu-unsafe tsk->thread_group user replacing it with for_each_process_thread(), maintaining semantics. Here tasklist_lock does not protect anything other than the list against concurrent fork/exit. And considering that the whole thing is capped by FTRACE_RETSTACK_ALLOC_SIZE (32), it should not be a problem to have a pontentially stale, yet stable, list. The task cannot go away either, so we don't risk racing with ftrace_graph_exit_task() which clears the retstack. The tsk->ret_stack management is not protected by tasklist_lock, being serialized with the corresponding publish/subscribe barriers against concurrent ftrace_push_return_trace(). In addition this plays nicer with cachelines by avoiding two atomic ops in the uncontended case. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200907013326.9870-1-dave@stgolabs.netAcked-by:

Add a ftrace2bconf.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates a bootconfig file from the current ftrace settings. To read the ftrace settings, ftrace2bconf.sh requires the root privilege (or sudo). The ftrace2bconf.sh will output the bootconfig to stdout and error messages to stderr, so usually you'll run it as # ftrace2bconf.sh > ftrace.bconf Note that some ftrace configurations are not supported. For example, function-call/callgraph trace/notrace settings are not supported because the wildcard has been expanded and lost in the ftrace anymore.

Add a bconf2ftrace.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates a shell script to setup boot-time trace from bootconfig file for testing the bootconfig. bconf2ftrace.sh will take a bootconfig file (includes boot-time tracing) and convert it into a shell-script which is almost same as the boot-time tracer does. If --apply option is given, it also tries to apply those command to the running kernel, which requires the root privilege (or sudo). For example, if you just want to confirm the shell commands, save the output as below. # bconf2ftrace.sh ftrace.bconf > ftrace.sh Or, you can apply it directly. # bconf2ftrace.sh --apply ftrace.bconf Note that some boot-time tracing parameters under kernel.* are not able to set via tracefs nor procfs (e.g. tp_printk, traceoff_on_warning.), so those are ignored.
