If a trace point header defines TRACE_SYSTEM, then it will add the following trace points into that event system. If include/trace/irq_event_types.h has: #define TRACE_SYSTEM irq at the top and #undef TRACE_SYSTEM at the bottom, then a directory "irq" will be created in the /debug/tracing/events directory. Inside that directory will contain the two trace points that are defined in include/trace/irq_event_types.h. Only adding the above to irq and not to sched, we get: # ls /debug/tracing/events/ irq sched_process_exit sched_signal_send sched_wakeup_new sched_kthread_stop sched_process_fork sched_switch sched_kthread_stop_ret sched_process_free sched_wait_task sched_migrate_task sched_process_wait sched_wakeup # ls /debug/tracing/events/irq irq_handler_entry irq_handler_exit If we add #define TRACE_SYSTEM sched to the trace/sched_event_types.h then the rest of the trace events will be put in a sched directory within the events directory. I've been playing with this idea of the subsystem for a while, but recently Tom Zanussi posted some patches to lkml that included this method. Tom's approach was clean and got me to finally put some effort to clean up the event trace points. Thanks to Tom Zanussi for demonstrating how nice the subsystem method is.

Impact: clean up To further facilitate the ease of adding trace points for developers, this patch creates include/trace/trace_events.h and include/trace/trace_event_types.h. The former file will hold the trace/<type>.h files and the latter will hold the trace/<type>_event_types.h files. To create new tracepoints and to have them automatically appear in the event tracer, a developer makes the trace/<type>.h file which includes <linux/tracepoint.h> and the trace/<type>_event_types.h file. The trace/<type>_event_types.h file will hold the TRACE_FORMAT macros. Then add the trace/<type>.h file to trace/trace_events.h, and add the trace/<type>_event_types.h to the trace_event_types.h file. No need to modify files elsewhere.

Impact: fix compile warning and clean up When I first wrote __tracing_open, instead of passing the error code via the ERR_PTR macros, I lazily used a separate parameter to hold the return for errors. When Frederic Weisbecker updated that function, he used the Linux kernel ERR_PTR for the returns. This caused the parameter return to possibly not be initialized on error. gcc correctly pointed this out with a warning. This patch converts the entire function to use the Linux kernel ERR_PTR macro methods. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: fix to possible race conditions There's some uses of current_tracer that is not protected by the trace_types_lock. There is a small chance that a sysadmin changes the tracer while the current_tracer is being referenced. If the race is hit, it is unlikely to cause any harm since the tracers are constant and are not freed. But some strang side effects may occur. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

This patch creates an options directory in the debugfs, that contains the available tracing options. These files contain 1 or 0, where 1 is the option is enabled and 0 it is disabled. Simply echoing in 1 will enable the option and 0 will disable it. This patch only contains the core options, not the tracer options. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Impact: restructure the VFS layout of per CPU trace buffers The per cpu trace files are all in a single directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu. In case of a large number of cpu, the content of this directory becomes messy so we create now one directory per cpu inside /debug/tracing/per_cpu which contain each their own trace_pipe and trace files. Ie: /debug/tracing$ ls -R per_cpu per_cpu: cpu0 cpu1 per_cpu/cpu0: trace trace_pipe per_cpu/cpu1: trace trace_pipe Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be reentrants. Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(), and the seq helpers. Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for the other to finish its read call. The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another function. The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch prediction for that. Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what you think about it.

Impact: split up tracing output per cpu Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are available to the user to let him extracting the trace output: - trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are available. - trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ... - trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe). The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations, sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer capture. The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus. But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time one trace buffer per cpu. So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/. Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and one trace file per cpu. Which means if you have two cpus, you will have: trace0 trace1 trace_pipe0 trace_pipe1 And of course, reading these files will have the same effect than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see the traces from the given cpu. The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on their original place. Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu. Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or trace_pipe1. Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

The unit in which user-space can set the bus timeout value is jiffies for historical reasons (back when HZ was always 100.) This is however not good because user-space doesn't know how long a jiffy lasts. The timeout value should instead be set in a fixed time unit. Given the original value of HZ, this unit should be 10 ms, for compatibility. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Acked-by: Wolfram Sang <w.sang@pengutronix.de>

With a postfix decrement these timeouts reach -1 rather than 0, but after the loop it is tested whether they have become 0. As pointed out by Jean Delvare, the condition we are waiting for should also be tested before the timeout. With the current order, you could exit with a timeout error while the job is actually done.
