add kernel backtracing to the sysprof tracer. change the format of the data, so that type=0 means beginning of stack trace, 1 means kernel address, 2 means user address, and 3 means end of trace. EIP addresses are no longer distinguished from return addresses, mostly because sysprof userspace doesn't make use of it. It may be worthwhile adding this back in though, just in case it becomes interesting. Signed-off-by:

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

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

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

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

Porting ftrace to the marker infrastructure. Don't need to chain to the wakeup tracer from the sched tracer, because markers support multiple probes connected. Signed-off-by:

To support the forthcoming "immediate values" marker optimization, we must have a way to declare markers in few code paths that does not use instruction modification based enable. This will be the case of printk(), some traps and eventually lockdep instrumentation. Changelog : - Fix reversed boolean logic of "generic". Signed-off-by:

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

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

Refactor code from tracing_read_pipe() and create trace_seq_to_user(). Moved trace_seq_reset() call before iter->trace->read() call so that when all leftover data is returned, trace_seq is reset automatically. Signed-off-by:

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