Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers, they will attempt to create their option directory and files. But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned as "boot tracers" very early if asked to. Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall), a crash is triggered. Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root tracing directory.

Impact: detect tracing related hangs Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless loop of timer interrupts servicing. As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely disabling this tracer. For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump the traces after this hang detection. Signed-off-by:

The function depth in trace_printk was to facilitate the function graph output. Now that the function graph calculates the depth within the trace output, we no longer need to record the depth when the trace_printk is called. Signed-off-by:Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

There is currently no easy way to clear the trace buffer. Currently the only way is to change the current tracer. This patch lets the user clear the trace buffer by simply writing into the trace files. echo > /debug/tracing/trace or to clear a single cpu (i.e. for CPU 1): echo > /debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/trace Requested-by:

Impact: prevent stale command line output In case there is no valid command line mapping for a pid trace_find_cmdline() returns without updating the comm buffer. The trace dump keeps the previous entry which results in confusing trace output: <idle>-0 [000] 280.702056 .... <idle>-23456 [000] 280.702080 .... Update the comm buffer with "<...>" when no mapping is found. Signed-off-by: -

Impact: cleanup The command line recorder uses (unsigned) -1 to mark non mapped entries in the pid to command line maps. The validity check is completely unintuitive: idx >= SAVED_CMDLINES There is no need for such casting games. Use a constant to mark unmapped entries and check for that constant to make the code readable and understandable. Signed-off-by:

Impact: prevent overwrite of command line entries When the tracer is stopped the command line recording continues to record. The check for tracing_is_on() is not sufficient here as the ringbuffer status is not affected by setting debug/tracing/tracing_enabled to 0. On a non idle system this can result in the loss of the command line information for the stopped trace, which makes the trace harder to read and analyse. Check tracer_enabled to allow further recording. Signed-off-by:

Impact: fix for losing comms in trace The command lines of tasks are cached at sched switch to not need to record them at every trace point. Disabling the tracing on stops the recording of traces, but does not stop the caching of command lines. When the tracing is off the cache may overflow and cause the tracing to show incorrect tasks matching the PIDs. This patch disables prevents updates to the comm cache when the ring buffer is off.

Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair. But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the wrong comm because it had no locking. This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache and not just send back a pointer to it. Signed-off-by:

The binary_buffers directory in /debugfs/tracing held the files to read the trace buffers in a binary format. This held one file per CPU buffer. But we also have a per_cpu directory that holds a way to read the pretty-print formats. This patch moves the binary buffers into the per_cpu_directory: # ls /debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/ trace trace_pipe trace_pipe_raw The new name is called "trace_pipe_raw". The binary buffers always acted similar to trace_pipe, except that they produce raw data. Requested-by:

Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic formats. So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will still be used. The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not. Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites). Signed-off-by:

Impact: do not confuse user on small trace buffer sizes When the system boots up, the trace buffer is small to conserve memory. It is only two pages per online CPU. When the tracer is used, it expands to the default value. This can confuse the user if they look at the buffer size and see only 7, but then later they see 1408. # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 7 # echo sched_switch > /debug/tracing/current_tracer # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 1408 This patch tries to help remove this confustion by showing that the buffer has not been expanded. # cat /debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 7 (expanded: 1408) Signed-off-by: -

Impact: save on memory Currently, a ring buffer was allocated for each "possible_cpus". On some systems, this is the same as NR_CPUS. Thus, if a system defined NR_CPUS = 64 but it only had 1 CPU, we could have possibly 63 useless ring buffers taking up space. With a default buffer of 3 megs, this could be quite drastic. This patch changes the ring buffer code to only allocate ring buffers for online CPUs. If a CPU goes off line, we do not free the buffer. This is because the user may still have trace data in that buffer that they would like to look at. Perhaps in the future we could add code to delete a ring buffer if the CPU is offline and the ring buffer becomes empty. Signed-off-by: -

Impact: fix to task live locking on reading trace_pipe on one CPU The same code is used for both trace_pipe (all CPUS) and the per_cpu trace_pipe file. When there is no data to read, it will check for signals and wait on the trace wait queue. The problem happens with the per_cpu wait. The trace_wait code checks all CPUs. Thus, if there's data in another CPU buffer, then it will exit the wait, without checking for signals or waiting on the wait queue. It would then try to read the empty buffer, and since that will just return nothing, then it will try to wait again. Unfortunately, that will again fail due to there still being data in the other buffers. This ends up with a live lock for the task. This patch fixes the trace_wait to be aware that the iterator may only be waiting on a single buffer. Signed-off-by: -

Impact: less memory impact on systems not using tracer When the kernel boots up that has tracing configured, it allocates the default size of the ring buffer. This currently happens to be 1.4Megs per possible CPU. This is quite a bit of wasted memory if the system is never using the tracer. The current solution is to keep the ring buffers to a minimum size until the user uses them. Once a tracer is piped into the current_tracer the ring buffer will be expanded to the default size. If the user changes the size of the ring buffer, it will take the size given by the user immediately. If the user adds a "ftrace=" to the kernel command line, then the ring buffers will be set to the default size on initialization. Signed-off-by:

In a recent discussion, Andrew Morton pointed out that tracing header should put '#' at the beginning of a line. Then, we can easily filtered the header by following grep usage: cat trace | grep -v '^#' Wakeup trace also has the same header problem.

Impact: faster and lighter tracing Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(), which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries. Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc...

Impact: save on memory for tracing Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry, struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events. A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it. So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure is for this purpose. [fweisbec@gmail.com: rebase against latest -tip, make it safe while sched tracing as reported by Steven Rostedt] Signed-off-by:

With the removal of the latency_trace file, we lost the ability to see some of the finer details in a trace. Like the state of interrupts enabled, the preempt count, need resched, and if we are in an interrupt handler, softirq handler or not. This patch simply creates an option to bring back the old format. This also removes the warning about an unused variable that held the latency_trace file operations. Signed-off-by: -

Impact: fix to ftrace_dump output corruption The commit: b04cc6b1 tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files added a new field to the iterator called cpu_file. This was a handle to differentiate between the per cpu trace output files and the all cpu "trace" file. The all cpu "trace" file required setting this to TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU. The problem is that the ftrace_dump sets up its own iterator but was not updated to handle this change. The result was only CPU 0 printing out on crash and a lot of "<0>"'s also being printed.
