tracing/events: move the ftrace event tracing code to core This patch moves the ftrace creation into include/trace/ftrace.h and simplifies the work of developers in adding new tracepoints. Just the act of creating the trace points in include/trace and including define_trace.h will create the events in the debugfs/tracing/events directory. This patch removes the need of include/trace/trace_events.h Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

/*
* Stage 1 of the trace events.
*
* Override the macros in <trace/trace_events.h> to include the following:
*
* struct ftrace_raw_<call> {
* struct trace_entry ent;
* <type> <item>;
* <type2> <item2>[<len>];
* [...]
* };
*
* The <type> <item> is created by the __field(type, item) macro or
* the __array(type2, item2, len) macro.
* We simply do "type item;", and that will create the fields
* in the structure.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field. Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing/events: move the ftrace event tracing code to core This patch moves the ftrace creation into include/trace/ftrace.h and simplifies the work of developers in adding new tracepoints. Just the act of creating the trace points in include/trace and including define_trace.h will create the events in the debugfs/tracing/events directory.

tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there are several trace points where they are almost identical except for the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT and override the print format. Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. I was able to get the following: $ size kernel/sched.o-* text data bss dec hex filename 79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace 101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ 104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points. sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

tracing: Fix double CPP substitution in TRACE_EVENT_FN TRACE_EVENT_FN relays on TRACE_EVENT by reprocessing its parameters into the ftrace events CPP macro. This leads to a double substitution in some cases. For example, a bad consequence is a format always prefixed by "%s, %s\n" for every TRACE_EVENT_FN based events. Eg: cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter/format [...] print fmt: "%s, %s\n", "\"NR %ld (%lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx)\"",\ "REC->id, REC->args[0], REC->args[1], REC->args[2], REC->args[3],\ REC->args[4], REC->args[5]" This creates a failure in post-processing tools such as perf trace or trace-cmd. Then drop this double substitution and replace it by a new __cpparg() macro that relays CPP arguments containing commas.

tracing: Move tracepoint callbacks from declaration to definition It's not strictly correct for the tracepoint reg/unreg callbacks to occur when a client is hooking up, because the actual tracepoint may not be present yet. This happens to be fine for syscall, since that's in the core kernel, but it would cause problems for tracepoints defined in a module that hasn't been loaded yet. It also means the reg/unreg has to be EXPORTed for any modules to use the tracepoint (as in SystemTap). This patch removes DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK, and instead introduces DEFINE_TRACE_FN which stores the callbacks in struct tracepoint. The callbacks are used now when the active state of the tracepoint changes in set_tracepoint & disable_tracepoint. This also introduces TRACE_EVENT_FN, so ftrace events can also provide registration callbacks if needed.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field. Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

#undef __dynamic_array
tracing/events: record the size of dynamic arrays When a dynamic array is defined, we add __data_loc_foo in trace_entry to record the offset of the array, but the size of the array is not recorded, which causes 2 problems: - the event filter just compares the first 2 chars of the strings. - parsers can't parse dynamic arrays. So we encode the size of each dynamic array in the higher 16 bits of __data_loc_foo, while the offset is in lower 16 bits.

events: Rename TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE() to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template? To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel: DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3) To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to: DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event) ... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there are several trace points where they are almost identical except for the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT and override the print format. Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. I was able to get the following: $ size kernel/sched.o-* text data bss dec hex filename 79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace 101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ 104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points. sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field. Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing: add __print_flags for events 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.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field. Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

events: Rename TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE() to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template? To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel: DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3) To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to: DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event) ... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field.

events: Rename TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE() to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template? To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel: DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3) To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to: DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event) ... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there are several trace points where they are almost identical except for the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT and override the print format. Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. I was able to get the following: $ size kernel/sched.o-* text data bss dec hex filename 79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace 101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ 104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points. sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there are several trace points where they are almost identical except for the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT and override the print format. Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. I was able to get the following: $ size kernel/sched.o-* text data bss dec hex filename 79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace 101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ 104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points. sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

/*
perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records sampling This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event record sampling. A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample. Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020. Translation: struct trace_entry { type = 0x2b = 43; flags = 1; preempt_count = 2; pid = 0xa = 10; tgid = 0xa = 10; } thread_comm = "events/1" thread_pid = 0xa = 10; func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc() What will come next? - Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode for perf trace, etc. - The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity. That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity protection. - [...] - Profit! :-) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Gabriel Munteanu <eduard.munteanu@linux360.ro> Cc: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name.

tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there are several trace points where they are almost identical except for the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT and override the print format. Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. I was able to get the following: $ size kernel/sched.o-* text data bss dec hex filename 79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace 101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ 104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points. sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure Impact: lower overhead tracing The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify. The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro. Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure. Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) type: the C type of item. item: the name of the item in the stucture assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT An example of this would be: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success), TPARGS(rq, p, success), TPFMT("task %s:%d %s", p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success) ), TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d") ); This creates us a unique struct of: struct { pid_t pid; int success; }; And the way the call back would assign these values would be: entry->pid = p->pid; entry->success = success; The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created, the developer will then have a faster method to record into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself. The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this nice idea.

/*
tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field. Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing: consolidate trace and trace_event headers Impact: clean up Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up into two files. The reason for that was that ftrace needed to separate out the declarations from where the #include <linux/tracepoint.h> was used. It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined. The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates all the <traces>.h and <traces>_event_types.h into the <traces>.h file.

But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify. The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro. Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure. Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) type: the C type of item. item: the name of the item in the stucture assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT An example of this would be: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success), TPARGS(rq, p, success), TPFMT("task %s:%d %s", p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success) ), TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d") ); This creates us a unique struct of: struct { pid_t pid; int success; }; And the way the call back would assign these values would be: entry->pid = p->pid; entry->success = success; The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created, the developer will then have a faster method to record into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself. The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this nice idea.

tracing: Ftrace dynamic ftrace_event_call support Add dynamic ftrace_event_call support to ftrace. Trace engines can add new ftrace_event_call to ftrace on the fly. Each operator function of the call takes an ftrace_event_call data structure as an argument, because these functions may be shared among several ftrace_event_calls. Changes from v13: - Define remove_subsystem_dir() always (revirt a2ca5e03), because trace_remove_event_call() uses it. - Modify syscall tracer because of ftrace_event_call change.

(Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro. Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure. Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) type: the C type of item. item: the name of the item in the stucture assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT An example of this would be: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success), TPARGS(rq, p, success), TPFMT("task %s:%d %s", p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success) ), TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d") ); This creates us a unique struct of: struct { pid_t pid; int success; }; And the way the call back would assign these values would be: entry->pid = p->pid; entry->success = success; The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created, the developer will then have a faster method to record into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself. The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this nice idea.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure Impact: lower overhead tracing The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure Impact: lower overhead tracing The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify. The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro. Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure. Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) type: the C type of item. item: the name of the item in the stucture assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT An example of this would be: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success), TPARGS(rq, p, success), TPFMT("task %s:%d %s", p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success) ), TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d") ); This creates us a unique struct of: struct { pid_t pid; int success; }; And the way the call back would assign these values would be: entry->pid = p->pid; entry->success = success; The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created, the developer will then have a faster method to record into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.

tracing: new format for specialized trace points Impact: clean up and enhancement The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro looks quite ugly and is limited in its ability to save data as well as to print the record out. Working with Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old macro, and is more obvious to what it does. Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the sched_switch trace point. The old method looked like this: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_FMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d", prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio) TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN], next_comm, TP_CMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN))) TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio) ), TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d") ); The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields. The new method: /* * Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler: * * (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events, * but used by the latency tracer plugin. ) */ TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_STRUCT__entry( __array( char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, prev_pid ) __field( int, prev_prio ) __array( char, next_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, next_pid ) __field( int, next_prio ) ), TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]", __entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio, __entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio), TP_fast_assign( memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->prev_pid = prev->pid; __entry->prev_prio = prev->prio; memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->next_pid = next->pid; __entry->next_prio = next->prio; ) ); This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts: TP_PROTO: the proto type of the trace point TP_ARGS: the arguments of the trace point TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer TP_printk: the printk format TP_fast_assign: the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data from the trace file. The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function, where the __entry is the handle to the record. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: add TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL to record complex entries Tom Zanussi pointed out that the simple TRACE_FIELD was not enough to record trace data that required memcpy. This patch addresses this issue by adding a TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL. The format is similar to TRACE_FIELD but looks like so: TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(type_item, item, cmd) What TRACE_FIELD gave was: TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) The TRACE_FIELD would be used in declaring a structure: struct { type item; }; And later assign it via: entry->item = assign; What TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL gives us is: In the declaration of the structure: struct { type_item; }; And the assignment: cmd; This change log will explain the one example used in the patch: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TPARGS(rq, prev, next), TPFMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d", prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio) TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN], next_comm, TPCMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN))) TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio) ), TPRAWFMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d") ); The struct will be create as: struct { pid_t prev_pid; int prev_prio; char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; pid_t next_pid; int next_prio; }; Note the TRACE_ENTRY in the cmd part of TRACE_SPECIAL. TRACE_ENTRY will be set by the tracer to point to the structure inside the trace buffer. entry->prev_pid = prev->pid; entry->prev_prio = prev->prio; memcpy(entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); entry->next_pid = next->pid; entry->next_prio = next->prio Reported-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field. Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field. Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

events: Rename TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE() to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template? To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel: DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3) To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to: DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event) ... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure Impact: lower overhead tracing The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify. The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro. Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure. Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) type: the C type of item. item: the name of the item in the stucture assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT An example of this would be: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success), TPARGS(rq, p, success), TPFMT("task %s:%d %s", p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success) ), TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d") ); This creates us a unique struct of: struct { pid_t pid; int success; }; And the way the call back would assign these values would be: entry->pid = p->pid; entry->success = success; The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created, the developer will then have a faster method to record into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself. The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this nice idea.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure Impact: lower overhead tracing The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify. The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro. Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure. Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) type: the C type of item. item: the name of the item in the stucture assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT An example of this would be: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success), TPARGS(rq, p, success), TPFMT("task %s:%d %s", p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success) ), TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d") ); This creates us a unique struct of: struct { pid_t pid; int success; }; And the way the call back would assign these values would be: entry->pid = p->pid; entry->success = success; The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created, the developer will then have a faster method to record into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself. The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this nice idea.

tracing/events: introduce __dynamic_array() __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: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing/events: provide string with undefined size support This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field. Use offsets instead of absolute addresses.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing: Ftrace dynamic ftrace_event_call support Add dynamic ftrace_event_call support to ftrace. Trace engines can add new ftrace_event_call to ftrace on the fly. Each operator function of the call takes an ftrace_event_call data structure as an argument, because these functions may be shared among several ftrace_event_calls. Changes from v13: - Define remove_subsystem_dir() always (revirt a2ca5e03), because trace_remove_event_call() uses it. - Modify syscall tracer because of ftrace_event_call change.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure Impact: lower overhead tracing The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify. The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro. Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.

A notifier and a data structure are used to link the TRACE_EVENTs defined in the module to connect them with the ftrace event tracing system. It also adds the necessary automated clean ups to the trace events when a module is removed. Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: new format for specialized trace points Impact: clean up and enhancement The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro looks quite ugly and is limited in its ability to save data as well as to print the record out. Working with Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old macro, and is more obvious to what it does. Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the sched_switch trace point. The old method looked like this: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_FMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d", prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio) TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN], next_comm, TP_CMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN))) TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio) ), TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d") ); The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields. The new method: /* * Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler: * * (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events, * but used by the latency tracer plugin. ) */ TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_STRUCT__entry( __array( char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, prev_pid ) __field( int, prev_prio ) __array( char, next_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, next_pid ) __field( int, next_prio ) ), TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]", __entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio, __entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio), TP_fast_assign( memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->prev_pid = prev->pid; __entry->prev_prio = prev->prio; memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->next_pid = next->pid; __entry->next_prio = next->prio; ) ); This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts: TP_PROTO: the proto type of the trace point TP_ARGS: the arguments of the trace point TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer TP_printk: the printk format TP_fast_assign: the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data from the trace file. The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function, where the __entry is the handle to the record. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing: add raw trace point recording infrastructure Impact: lower overhead tracing The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000 nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as possible. Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros. I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint locations. This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C" approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify. The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note, a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event tracer.) They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf. So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro. Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure. Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) type: the C type of item. item: the name of the item in the stucture assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT An example of this would be: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success), TPARGS(rq, p, success), TPFMT("task %s:%d %s", p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success) ), TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d") ); This creates us a unique struct of: struct { pid_t pid; int success; }; And the way the call back would assign these values would be: entry->pid = p->pid; entry->success = success; The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created, the developer will then have a faster method to record into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself. The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this nice idea.

tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there are several trace points where they are almost identical except for the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT and override the print format. Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.

Here's what usage looks like: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name, TPPROTO(proto), TPARGS(args), TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args), TRACE_STUCT( TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1) TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2) [...] ), TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt) ); Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT uses. name: is the unique identifier of the trace point proto: The proto type that the trace point uses args: the args in the proto type fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure. Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign) type: the C type of item. item: the name of the item in the stucture assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT An example of this would be: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup, TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success), TPARGS(rq, p, success), TPFMT("task %s:%d %s", p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success) ), TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d") ); This creates us a unique struct of: struct { pid_t pid; int success; }; And the way the call back would assign these values would be: entry->pid = p->pid; entry->success = success; The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created, the developer will then have a faster method to record into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself. The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this nice idea.

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

tracing, perf_events: Protect the buffer from recursion in perf While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf trace events. Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock, and only that. This is because of a recursion inside perf. 1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu buffer and submit it to perf. 2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data using rcu_read_lock 3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the buffer to perf. 4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it 5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock Such scenario also happens with lock_release with rcu_read_unlock(). We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other possible kind of recursion from perf in the future. This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem. -v2: Fixed lost whitespace, added reviewed-by tag Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1257477185-7838-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

perf_counter: Subtract the buffer size field from the event record size We compute the perf raw sample size by aligning the raw ftrace event size plus the buffer size field itself. We do that instead of aligning only the perf raw sample size, so that we might economize some in some cases. But this buffer size field is not stored in the perf raw sample, we must then substract its size from the buffer once we computed the alignment unless we may get a useless u32 field in the buffer.

We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other possible kind of recursion from perf in the future.

events: Rename TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE() to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template? To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel: DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3) To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to: DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event) ... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing, perf_events: Protect the buffer from recursion in perf While tracing using events with perf, if one enables the lockdep:lock_acquire event, it will infect every other perf trace events. Basically, you can enable whatever set of trace events through perf but if this event is part of the set, the only result we can get is a long list of lock_acquire events of rcu read lock, and only that. This is because of a recursion inside perf. 1) When a trace event is triggered, it will fill a per cpu buffer and submit it to perf. 2) Perf will commit this event but will also protect some data using rcu_read_lock 3) A recursion appears: rcu_read_lock triggers a lock_acquire event that will fill the per cpu event and then submit the buffer to perf. 4) Perf detects a recursion and ignores it 5) Perf continues its work on the previous event, but its buffer has been overwritten by the lock_acquire event, it has then been turned into a lock_acquire event of rcu read lock Such scenario also happens with lock_release with rcu_read_unlock(). We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other possible kind of recursion from perf in the future. This patch adds a recursion protection based on a counter on the perf trace per cpu buffers to solve the problem. -v2: Fixed lost whitespace, added reviewed-by tag Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1257477185-7838-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

We could turn the rcu_read_lock() into __rcu_read_lock() to drop the lock debugging from perf fast path, but that would make us lose the rcu debugging and that doesn't prevent from other possible kind of recursion from perf in the future.

But this may be too much for the stack, as the events can have large statically defined field size and can also grow with dynamic arrays. Allocate two per cpu buffer for all profiled events. The first cpu buffer is used to host every non-nmi context traces. It is protected by disabling the interrupts while writing and committing the trace. The second buffer is reserved for nmi. So that there is no race between them and the first buffer. The whole write/commit section is rcu protected because we release these buffers while deactivating the last profiling trace event. v2: Move the buffers from trace_event to be global, as pointed by Steven Rostedt. v3: Fix the syscall events to handle the profiling buffer races by disabling interrupts, now that the buffers are globals.

perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records sampling This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event record sampling. A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample. Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there are several trace points where they are almost identical except for the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT and override the print format. Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. I was able to get the following: $ size kernel/sched.o-* text data bss dec hex filename 79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace 101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ 104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points. sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT sched.o-trace is the current trace events.
