tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

ring-buffer: buffer record on/off switch Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the ring buffers called: tracing_on() tracing_off() When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record into their buffers. tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again. These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called. A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called tracing_on This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch. echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on disables the tracing. echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on enables it. Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers. The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled. There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers: tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers. buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled. cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if an anomaly occurred. The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel called tracing_stop(). Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it. It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit. tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace can reenable it at any time. Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together When the time between two timestamps is greater than 2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to events only having a 27 bit field to store time. Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been committed, it will stay in the buffer. If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning. This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added. Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the ring buffer interface need to be made. When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together When the time between two timestamps is greater than 2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to events only having a 27 bit field to store time. Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been committed, it will stay in the buffer. If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning. This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added. Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the ring buffer interface need to be made. When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend.

All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

if (extended_time(event))
ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together When the time between two timestamps is greater than 2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to events only having a 27 bit field to store time. Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been committed, it will stay in the buffer. If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning. This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added. Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the ring buffer interface need to be made. When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend. Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting this idea.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

ring-buffer: Do not wake up a splice waiter when page is not full When an application connects to the ring buffer via splice, it can only read full pages. Splice does not work with partial pages. If there is not enough data to fill a page, the splice command will either block or return -EAGAIN (if set to nonblock). Code was added where if the page is not full, to just sleep again. The problem is, it will get woken up again on the next event. That is, when something is written into the ring buffer, if there is a waiter it will wake it up. The waiter would then check the buffer, see that it still does not have enough data to fill a page and go back to sleep. To make matters worse, when the waiter goes back to sleep, it could cause another event, which would wake it back up again to see it doesn't have enough data and sleep again. This produces a tremendous overhead and fills the ring buffer with noise. For example, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10 seconds produces 25,350,475 events!!! Create another wait queue for those waiters wanting full pages. When an event is written, it only wakes up waiters if there's a full page of data. It does not wake up the waiter if the page is not yet full. After this change, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10 seconds produces only 800 events.

ring-buffer: Return reader page back into existing ring buffer When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice, where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page for the reader. The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc mechanism. Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring buffer. Before this change: # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1 # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l 9968 After this change: # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1 # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l 4 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

ring-buffer: use commit counters for commit pointer accounting The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers. The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to get. The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index of the last committed write respectively. The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index of the last reserved data respectively (non committed). The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer. If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward. The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and even the commit forward. The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the accounting will break. This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer commit should move the pointers anyway. The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less racey than the commit updates. This change not only solves the mentioned race, but also makes the code simpler. [ Impact: fix commit race and simplify code ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it.

If ftrace traces within the use of the ring buffer, it can produce false positives with lockdep. This patch passes in a static lock key into the allocation of the ring buffer, so that different ring buffers will have their own lock class.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

ring-buffer: Do not wake up a splice waiter when page is not full When an application connects to the ring buffer via splice, it can only read full pages. Splice does not work with partial pages. If there is not enough data to fill a page, the splice command will either block or return -EAGAIN (if set to nonblock). Code was added where if the page is not full, to just sleep again. The problem is, it will get woken up again on the next event. That is, when something is written into the ring buffer, if there is a waiter it will wake it up. The waiter would then check the buffer, see that it still does not have enough data to fill a page and go back to sleep. To make matters worse, when the waiter goes back to sleep, it could cause another event, which would wake it back up again to see it doesn't have enough data and sleep again. This produces a tremendous overhead and fills the ring buffer with noise. For example, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10 seconds produces 25,350,475 events!!! Create another wait queue for those waiters wanting full pages. When an event is written, it only wakes up waiters if there's a full page of data. It does not wake up the waiter if the page is not yet full. After this change, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10 seconds produces only 800 events. Getting rid of 25,349,675 useless events (99.9969% of events!!), is something to take seriously.

The buffers are not empty so ring_buffer_wait() returns immediately. But tracing_buffers_splice_read() calls ring_buffer_read_page() with full=1, meaning it only wants to read a full page. When the full page is not available, tracing_buffers_splice_read() tries to wait again with ring_buffer_wait(), which again returns immediately, and so on. Fix this by adding a "full" argument to ring_buffer_wait() which will make ring_buffer_wait() wait until the writer has left the reader's page, i.e. until full-page reads will succeed.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

/*
* Making the ring buffer lockless makes things tricky.
* Although writes only happen on the CPU that they are on,
* and they only need to worry about interrupts. Reads can
* happen on any CPU.
*
* The reader page is always off the ring buffer, but when the
* reader finishes with a page, it needs to swap its page with
* a new one from the buffer. The reader needs to take from
* the head (writes go to the tail). But if a writer is in overwrite
* mode and wraps, it must push the head page forward.
*
* Here lies the problem.
*
* The reader must be careful to replace only the head page, and
* not another one. As described at the top of the file in the
* ASCII art, the reader sets its old page to point to the next
* page after head. It then sets the page after head to point to
* the old reader page. But if the writer moves the head page
* during this operation, the reader could end up with the tail.
*
* We use cmpxchg to help prevent this race. We also do something
* special with the page before head. We set the LSB to 1.
*
* When the writer must push the page forward, it will clear the
* bit that points to the head page, move the head, and then set
* the bit that points to the new head page.
*
* We also don't want an interrupt coming in and moving the head
* page on another writer. Thus we use the second LSB to catch
* that too. Thus:
*
* head->list->prev->next bit 1 bit 0
* ------- -------
* Normal page 0 0
* Points to head page 0 1
* New head page 1 0
*
* Note we can not trust the prev pointer of the head page, because:
*
* +----+ +-----+ +-----+
* | |------>| T |---X--->| N |
* | |<------| | | |
* +----+ +-----+ +-----+
* ^ ^ |
* | +-----+ | |
* +----------| R |----------+ |
* | |<-----------+
* +-----+
*
* Key: ---X--> HEAD flag set in pointer
* T Tail page
* R Reader page
* N Next page
*
* (see __rb_reserve_next() to see where this happens)
*
* What the above shows is that the reader just swapped out
* the reader page with a page in the buffer, but before it
* could make the new header point back to the new page added
* it was preempted by a writer. The writer moved forward onto
* the new page added by the reader and is about to move forward
* again.
*
* You can see, it is legitimate for the previous pointer of
* the head (or any page) not to point back to itself. But only
* temporarily.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace.

That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2.

ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer.

ring-buffer: Check if memory is available before allocation The ring buffer is made up of a link list of pages. When making the ring buffer bigger, it will allocate all the pages it needs before adding to the ring buffer, and if it fails, it frees them and returns an error. This makes increasing the ring buffer size an all or nothing action. When this was first created, the pages were allocated with "NORETRY". This was to not cause any Out-Of-Memory (OOM) actions from allocating the ring buffer. But NORETRY was too strict, as the ring buffer would fail to expand even when there's memory available, but was taken up in the page cache. Commit 848618857d253 ("tracing/ring_buffer: Try harder to allocate") changed the allocating from NORETRY to RETRY_MAYFAIL. The RETRY_MAYFAIL would allocate from the page cache, but if there was no memory available, it would simple fail the allocation and not trigger an OOM. This worked fine, but had one problem. As the ring buffer would allocate one page at a time, it could take up all memory in the system before it failed to allocate and free that memory. If the allocation is happening and the ring buffer allocates all memory and then tries to take more than available, its allocation will not trigger an OOM, but if there's any allocation that happens someplace else, that could trigger an OOM, even though once the ring buffer's allocation fails, it would free up all the previous memory it tried to allocate, and allow other memory allocations to succeed. Commit d02bd27bd33dd ("mm/page_alloc.c: calculate 'available' memory in a separate function") separated out si_mem_availble() as a separate function that could be used to see how much memory is available in the system. Using this function to make sure that the ring buffer could be allocated before it tries to allocate pages we can avoid allocating all memory in the system and making it vulnerable to OOMs if other allocations are taking place.

tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pages The tracing ring buffer is a group of per-cpu ring buffers where allocation and logging is done on a per-cpu basis. The events that are generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer. This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node locality while accessing the ring buffer. However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation routine is running at the time. This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the logging CPU. I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the syscall to complete. The following command was used to test: $ getuid_microbench 1000000 Compared the numbers found on kernel with and without this patch and found that logging latency decreases by 30-50 ns/call. tracing with non-NUMA allocation - 569 ns/call tracing with NUMA allocation - 512 ns/call Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Cc: David Sharp <dhsharp@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304470602-20366-1-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pages The tracing ring buffer is a group of per-cpu ring buffers where allocation and logging is done on a per-cpu basis. The events that are generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer. This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node locality while accessing the ring buffer. However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation routine is running at the time. This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the logging CPU. I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the syscall to complete.

ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event.

That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer.

tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pages The tracing ring buffer is a group of per-cpu ring buffers where allocation and logging is done on a per-cpu basis. The events that are generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer. This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node locality while accessing the ring buffer. However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation routine is running at the time. This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the logging CPU. I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the syscall to complete. The following command was used to test: $ getuid_microbench 1000000 Compared the numbers found on kernel with and without this patch and found that logging latency decreases by 30-50 ns/call. tracing with non-NUMA allocation - 569 ns/call tracing with NUMA allocation - 512 ns/call Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Cc: David Sharp <dhsharp@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304470602-20366-1-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If ftrace traces within the use of the ring buffer, it can produce false positives with lockdep. This patch passes in a static lock key into the allocation of the ring buffer, so that different ring buffers will have their own lock class.

ring-buffer: Do not wake up a splice waiter when page is not full When an application connects to the ring buffer via splice, it can only read full pages. Splice does not work with partial pages. If there is not enough data to fill a page, the splice command will either block or return -EAGAIN (if set to nonblock). Code was added where if the page is not full, to just sleep again. The problem is, it will get woken up again on the next event. That is, when something is written into the ring buffer, if there is a waiter it will wake it up. The waiter would then check the buffer, see that it still does not have enough data to fill a page and go back to sleep. To make matters worse, when the waiter goes back to sleep, it could cause another event, which would wake it back up again to see it doesn't have enough data and sleep again. This produces a tremendous overhead and fills the ring buffer with noise. For example, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10 seconds produces 25,350,475 events!!! Create another wait queue for those waiters wanting full pages. When an event is written, it only wakes up waiters if there's a full page of data. It does not wake up the waiter if the page is not yet full. After this change, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10 seconds produces only 800 events. Getting rid of 25,349,675 useless events (99.9969% of events!!), is something to take seriously.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pages The tracing ring buffer is a group of per-cpu ring buffers where allocation and logging is done on a per-cpu basis. The events that are generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer. This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node locality while accessing the ring buffer. However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation routine is running at the time. This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the logging CPU. I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the syscall to complete. The following command was used to test: $ getuid_microbench 1000000 Compared the numbers found on kernel with and without this patch and found that logging latency decreases by 30-50 ns/call. tracing with non-NUMA allocation - 569 ns/call tracing with NUMA allocation - 512 ns/call Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Cc: David Sharp <dhsharp@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304470602-20366-1-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

free_buffer_page(cpu_buffer->reader_page);
ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer.

If ftrace traces within the use of the ring buffer, it can produce false positives with lockdep. This patch passes in a static lock key into the allocation of the ring buffer, so that different ring buffers will have their own lock class.

ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it.

If ftrace traces within the use of the ring buffer, it can produce false positives with lockdep. This patch passes in a static lock key into the allocation of the ring buffer, so that different ring buffers will have their own lock class.

An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer.

If ftrace traces within the use of the ring buffer, it can produce false positives with lockdep. This patch passes in a static lock key into the allocation of the ring buffer, so that different ring buffers will have their own lock class.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it.

ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer.

ring-buffer: Check for valid buffer before changing size On some machines the number of possible CPUS is not the same as the number of CPUs that is on the machine. Ftrace uses possible_cpus to update the tracing structures but the ring buffer only allocates per cpu buffers for online CPUs when they come up. When the wakeup tracer was enabled in such a case, the ftrace code enabled all possible cpu buffers, but the code in ring_buffer_resize() did not check to see if the buffer in question was allocated. Since boot up CPUs did not match possible CPUs it caused the following crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000020 IP: [<c1097851>] ring_buffer_resize+0x16a/0x28d *pde = 00000000 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Dumping ftrace buffer: (ftrace buffer empty) Modules linked in: [last unloaded: scsi_wait_scan] Pid: 1387, comm: bash Not tainted 3.4.0-test+ #13 /DG965MQ EIP: 0060:[<c1097851>] EFLAGS: 00010217 CPU: 0 EIP is at ring_buffer_resize+0x16a/0x28d EAX: f5a14340 EBX: f6026b80 ECX: 00000ff4 EDX: 00000ff3 ESI: 00000000 EDI: 00000002 EBP: f4275ecc ESP: f4275eb0 DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 CR0: 80050033 CR2: 00000020 CR3: 34396000 CR4: 000007d0 DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 DR6: ffff0ff0 DR7: 00000400 Process bash (pid: 1387, ti=f4274000 task=f4380cb0 task.ti=f4274000) Stack: c109cf9a f6026b98 00000162 00160f68 00000006 00160f68 00000002 f4275ef0 c109d013 f4275ee8 c123b72a c1c0bf00 c1cc81dc 00000005 f4275f98 00000007 f4275f70 c109d0c7 7700000e 75656b61 00000070 f5e90900 f5c4e198 00000301 Call Trace: [<c109cf9a>] ? tracing_set_tracer+0x115/0x1e9 [<c109d013>] tracing_set_tracer+0x18e/0x1e9 [<c123b72a>] ? _copy_from_user+0x30/0x46 [<c109d0c7>] tracing_set_trace_write+0x59/0x7f [<c10ec01e>] ? fput+0x18/0x1c6 [<c11f8732>] ? security_file_permission+0x27/0x2b [<c10eaacd>] ? rw_verify_area+0xcf/0xf2 [<c10ec01e>] ? fput+0x18/0x1c6 [<c109d06e>] ? tracing_set_tracer+0x1e9/0x1e9 [<c10ead77>] vfs_write+0x8b/0xe3 [<c10ebead>] ? fget_light+0x30/0x81 [<c10eaf54>] sys_write+0x42/0x63 [<c1834fbf>] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x28 This happens with the latency tracer as the ftrace code updates the saved max buffer via its cpumask and not with a global setting.

Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

ring-buffer: Prevent overflow of size in ring_buffer_resize() If the size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is greater than MAX_LONG - BUF_PAGE_SIZE then the DIV_ROUND_UP() will return zero. Here's the details: # echo 18014398509481980 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb tracing_entries_write() processes this and converts kb to bytes. 18014398509481980 << 10 = 18446744073709547520 and this is passed to ring_buffer_resize() as unsigned long size. size = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE); Where DIV_ROUND_UP(a, b) is (a + b - 1)/b BUF_PAGE_SIZE is 4080 and here 18446744073709547520 + 4080 - 1 = 18446744073709551599 where 18446744073709551599 is still smaller than 2^64 2^64 - 18446744073709551599 = 17 But now 18446744073709551599 / 4080 = 4521260802379792 and size = size * 4080 = 18446744073709551360 This is checked to make sure its still greater than 2 * 4080, which it is. Then we convert to the number of buffer pages needed. nr_page = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE) but this time size is 18446744073709551360 and 2^64 - (18446744073709551360 + 4080 - 1) = -3823 Thus it overflows and the resulting number is less than 4080, which makes 3823 / 4080 = 0 an nr_pages is set to this. As we already checked against the minimum that nr_pages may be, this causes the logic to fail as well, and we crash the kernel. There's no reason to have the two DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's just result of historical code changes), clean up the code and fix this bug.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish.

Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers.

Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

ring-buffer: Zero out time extend if it is nested and not absolute Currently the ring buffer makes events that happen in interrupts that preempt another event have a delta of zero. (Hopefully we can change this soon). But this is to deal with the races of updating a global counter with lockless and nesting functions updating deltas. With the addition of absolute time stamps, the time extend didn't follow this rule. A time extend can happen if two events happen longer than 2^27 nanoseconds appart, as the delta time field in each event is only 27 bits. If that happens, then a time extend is injected with 2^59 bits of nanoseconds to use (18 years). But if the 2^27 nanoseconds happen between two events, and as it is writing the event, an interrupt triggers, it will see the 2^27 difference as well and inject a time extend of its own. But a recent change made the time extend logic not take into account the nesting, and this can cause two time extend deltas to happen moving the time stamp much further ahead than the current time. This gets all reset when the ring buffer moves to the next page, but that can cause time to appear to go backwards. This was observed in a trace-cmd recording, and since the data is saved in a file, with trace-cmd report --debug, it was possible to see that this indeed did happen! bash-52501 110d... 81778.908247: sched_switch: bash:52501 [120] S ==> swapper/110:0 [120] [12770284:0x2e8:64] <idle>-0 110d... 81778.908757: sched_switch: swapper/110:0 [120] R ==> bash:52501 [120] [509947:0x32c:64] TIME EXTEND: delta:306454770 length:0 bash-52501 110.... 81779.215212: sched_swap_numa: src_pid=52501 src_tgid=52388 src_ngid=52501 src_cpu=110 src_nid=2 dst_pid=52509 dst_tgid=52388 dst_ngid=52501 dst_cpu=49 dst_nid=1 [0:0x378:48] TIME EXTEND: delta:306458165 length:0 bash-52501 110dNh. 81779.521670: sched_wakeup: migration/110:565 [0] success=1 CPU:110 [0:0x3b4:40] and at the next page, caused the time to go backwards: bash-52504 110d... 81779.685411: sched_switch: bash:52504 [120] S ==> swapper/110:0 [120] [8347057:0xfb4:64] CPU:110 [SUBBUFFER START] [81779379165886:0x1320000] <idle>-0 110dN.. 81779.379166: sched_wakeup: bash:52504 [120] success=1 CPU:110 [0:0x10:40] <idle>-0 110d... 81779.379167: sched_switch: swapper/110:0 [120] R ==> bash:52504 [120] [1168:0x3c:64] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200622151815.345d1bf5@oasis.local.home Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: dc4e2801d400b ("ring-buffer: Redefine the unimplemented RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP") Reported-by: Julia Lawall <julia.lawall@inria.fr> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together When the time between two timestamps is greater than 2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to events only having a 27 bit field to store time. Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been committed, it will stay in the buffer. If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning. This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added. Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the ring buffer interface need to be made. When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend. Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting this idea.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

ring-buffer: use commit counters for commit pointer accounting The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers. The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to get. The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index of the last committed write respectively. The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index of the last reserved data respectively (non committed). The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer. If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward. The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and even the commit forward. The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the accounting will break. This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer commit should move the pointers anyway. The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less racey than the commit updates. This change not only solves the mentioned race, but also makes the code simpler. [ Impact: fix commit race and simplify code ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer.

tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enable The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes.

tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enable The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size).

tracing/ring-buffer: Add unlock recursion protection on discard The pair of helpers trace_recursive_lock() and trace_recursive_unlock() have been introduced recently to provide generic tracing recursion protection. They are used in a symetric way: - trace_recursive_lock() on buffer reserve - trace_recursive_unlock() on buffer commit However sometimes, we don't commit but discard on entry to the buffer, ie: in case of filter checking. Then we must also unlock the recursion protection on discard time, otherwise the tracing gets definitely deactivated and a warning is raised spuriously, such as: 111.119821] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 111.119829] WARNING: at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1498 ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1b7/0x1d0() [ 111.119835] Hardware name: AMILO Li 2727 [ 111.119839] Modules linked in: [ 111.119846] Pid: 5731, comm: Xorg Tainted: G W 2.6.30-rc1 #69 [ 111.119851] Call Trace: [ 111.119863] [<ffffffff8025ce68>] warn_slowpath+0xd8/0x130 [ 111.119873] [<ffffffff8028a30f>] ? __lock_acquire+0x19f/0x1ae0 [ 111.119882] [<ffffffff8028a30f>] ? __lock_acquire+0x19f/0x1ae0 [ 111.119891] [<ffffffff802199b0>] ? native_sched_clock+0x20/0x70 [ 111.119899] [<ffffffff80286dee>] ? put_lock_stats+0xe/0x30 [ 111.119906] [<ffffffff80286eb8>] ? lock_release_holdtime+0xa8/0x150 [ 111.119913] [<ffffffff802c8ae7>] ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1b7/0x1d0 [ 111.119921] [<ffffffff802cd110>] trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x30/0x70 [ 111.119930] [<ffffffff802ce000>] trace_current_buffer_lock_reserve+0x20/0x30 [ 111.119939] [<ffffffff802474e8>] ftrace_raw_event_sched_switch+0x58/0x100 [ 111.119948] [<ffffffff808103b7>] __schedule+0x3a7/0x4cd [ 111.119957] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.119964] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.119971] [<ffffffff80810c08>] schedule+0x18/0x40 [ 111.119977] [<ffffffff80810e09>] preempt_schedule+0x39/0x60 [ 111.119985] [<ffffffff80813bd3>] _read_unlock+0x53/0x60 [ 111.119993] [<ffffffff807259d2>] sock_def_readable+0x72/0x80 [ 111.120002] [<ffffffff807ad5ed>] unix_stream_sendmsg+0x24d/0x3d0 [ 111.120011] [<ffffffff807219a3>] sock_aio_write+0x143/0x160 [ 111.120019] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120026] [<ffffffff80721860>] ? sock_aio_write+0x0/0x160 [ 111.120033] [<ffffffff80721860>] ? sock_aio_write+0x0/0x160 [ 111.120042] [<ffffffff8031c283>] do_sync_readv_writev+0xf3/0x140 [ 111.120049] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120057] [<ffffffff80276ff0>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [ 111.120067] [<ffffffff8045d489>] ? cap_file_permission+0x9/0x10 [ 111.120074] [<ffffffff8045c1e6>] ? security_file_permission+0x16/0x20 [ 111.120082] [<ffffffff8031cab4>] do_readv_writev+0xd4/0x1f0 [ 111.120089] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120097] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120105] [<ffffffff8031cc18>] vfs_writev+0x48/0x70 [ 111.120111] [<ffffffff8031cd65>] sys_writev+0x55/0xc0 [ 111.120119] [<ffffffff80211e32>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 111.120125] ---[ end trace 15605f4e98d5ccb5 ]--- [ Impact: fix spurious warning triggering tracing shutdown ] Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

ring-buffer: use commit counters for commit pointer accounting The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers. The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to get. The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index of the last committed write respectively. The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index of the last reserved data respectively (non committed). The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer. If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward. The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and even the commit forward. The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the accounting will break. This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer commit should move the pointers anyway. The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less racey than the commit updates.

Then we must also unlock the recursion protection on discard time, otherwise the tracing gets definitely deactivated and a warning is raised spuriously, such as: 111.119821] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 111.119829] WARNING: at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1498 ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1b7/0x1d0() [ 111.119835] Hardware name: AMILO Li 2727 [ 111.119839] Modules linked in: [ 111.119846] Pid: 5731, comm: Xorg Tainted: G W 2.6.30-rc1 #69 [ 111.119851] Call Trace: [ 111.119863] [<ffffffff8025ce68>] warn_slowpath+0xd8/0x130 [ 111.119873] [<ffffffff8028a30f>] ? __lock_acquire+0x19f/0x1ae0 [ 111.119882] [<ffffffff8028a30f>] ? __lock_acquire+0x19f/0x1ae0 [ 111.119891] [<ffffffff802199b0>] ? native_sched_clock+0x20/0x70 [ 111.119899] [<ffffffff80286dee>] ? put_lock_stats+0xe/0x30 [ 111.119906] [<ffffffff80286eb8>] ? lock_release_holdtime+0xa8/0x150 [ 111.119913] [<ffffffff802c8ae7>] ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1b7/0x1d0 [ 111.119921] [<ffffffff802cd110>] trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x30/0x70 [ 111.119930] [<ffffffff802ce000>] trace_current_buffer_lock_reserve+0x20/0x30 [ 111.119939] [<ffffffff802474e8>] ftrace_raw_event_sched_switch+0x58/0x100 [ 111.119948] [<ffffffff808103b7>] __schedule+0x3a7/0x4cd [ 111.119957] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.119964] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.119971] [<ffffffff80810c08>] schedule+0x18/0x40 [ 111.119977] [<ffffffff80810e09>] preempt_schedule+0x39/0x60 [ 111.119985] [<ffffffff80813bd3>] _read_unlock+0x53/0x60 [ 111.119993] [<ffffffff807259d2>] sock_def_readable+0x72/0x80 [ 111.120002] [<ffffffff807ad5ed>] unix_stream_sendmsg+0x24d/0x3d0 [ 111.120011] [<ffffffff807219a3>] sock_aio_write+0x143/0x160 [ 111.120019] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120026] [<ffffffff80721860>] ? sock_aio_write+0x0/0x160 [ 111.120033] [<ffffffff80721860>] ? sock_aio_write+0x0/0x160 [ 111.120042] [<ffffffff8031c283>] do_sync_readv_writev+0xf3/0x140 [ 111.120049] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120057] [<ffffffff80276ff0>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [ 111.120067] [<ffffffff8045d489>] ? cap_file_permission+0x9/0x10 [ 111.120074] [<ffffffff8045c1e6>] ? security_file_permission+0x16/0x20 [ 111.120082] [<ffffffff8031cab4>] do_readv_writev+0xd4/0x1f0 [ 111.120089] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120097] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120105] [<ffffffff8031cc18>] vfs_writev+0x48/0x70 [ 111.120111] [<ffffffff8031cd65>] sys_writev+0x55/0xc0 [ 111.120119] [<ffffffff80211e32>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 111.120125] ---[ end trace 15605f4e98d5ccb5 ]--- [ Impact: fix spurious warning triggering tracing shutdown ] Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enable The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enable The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size).

Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero.

This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.

Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event.

The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer.

ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page When performing a consuming read, the ring buffer swaps out a page from the ring buffer with a empty page and this page that was swapped out becomes the new reader page. The reader page is owned by the reader and since it was swapped out of the ring buffer, writers do not have access to it (there's an exception to that rule, but it's out of scope for this commit). When reading the "trace" file, it is a non consuming read, which means that the data in the ring buffer will not be modified. When the trace file is opened, a ring buffer iterator is allocated and writes to the ring buffer are disabled, such that the iterator will not have issues iterating over the data. Although the ring buffer disabled writes, it does not disable other reads, or even consuming reads. If a consuming read happens, then the iterator is reset and starts reading from the beginning again.

After adding more test cases, this would trigger more often. Strangely enough, it would never trigger on a single test, but instead would trigger only when running all the tests. I believe that was the case because it required one of the tests to be shutting down via delayed instances while a new test started up. After spending several days debugging this, I found that it was caused by the iterator becoming corrupted. Debugging further, I found out why the iterator became corrupted. It happened with the rb_iter_reset(). As consuming reads may not read the full reader page, and only part of it, there's a "read" field to know where the last read took place. The iterator, must also start at the read position. In the rb_iter_reset() code, if the reader page was disconnected from the ring buffer, the iterator would start at the head page within the ring buffer (where writes still happen). But the mistake there was that it still used the "read" field to start the iterator on the head page, where it should always start at zero because readers never read from within the ring buffer where writes occur. I originally wrote a patch to have it set the iter->head to 0 instead of iter->head_page->read, but then I questioned why it wasn't always setting the iter to point to the reader page, as the reader page is still valid. The list_empty(reader_page->list) just means that it was successful in swapping out. But the reader_page may still have data. There was a bug report a long time ago that was not reproducible that had something about trace_pipe (consuming read) not matching trace (iterator read). This may explain why that happened. Anyway, the correct answer to this bug is to always use the reader page an not reset the iterator to inside the writable ring buffer.

ring-buffer: Fix infinite spin in reading buffer Commit 651e22f2701b "ring-buffer: Always reset iterator to reader page" fixed one bug but in the process caused another one. The reset is to update the header page, but that fix also changed the way the cached reads were updated. The cache reads are used to test if an iterator needs to be updated or not. A ring buffer iterator, when created, disables writes to the ring buffer but does not stop other readers or consuming reads from happening. Although all readers are synchronized via a lock, they are only synchronized when in the ring buffer functions. Those functions may be called by any number of readers. The iterator continues down when its not interrupted by a consuming reader. If a consuming read occurs, the iterator starts from the beginning of the buffer. The way the iterator sees that a consuming read has happened since its last read is by checking the reader "cache". The cache holds the last counts of the read and the reader page itself. Commit 651e22f2701b changed what was saved by the cache_read when the rb_iter_reset() occurred, making the iterator never match the cache. Then if the iterator calls rb_iter_reset(), it will go into an infinite loop by checking if the cache doesn't match, doing the reset and retrying, just to see that the cache still doesn't match! Which should never happen as the reset is suppose to set the cache to the current value and there's locks that keep a consuming reader from having access to the data.

When the trace file is opened, a ring buffer iterator is allocated and writes to the ring buffer are disabled, such that the iterator will not have issues iterating over the data. Although the ring buffer disabled writes, it does not disable other reads, or even consuming reads. If a consuming read happens, then the iterator is reset and starts reading from the beginning again. My tests would sometimes trigger this bug on my i386 box: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5175 at kernel/trace/trace.c:1527 __trace_find_cmdline+0x66/0xaa() Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 5175 Comm: grep Not tainted 3.16.0-rc3-test+ #8 Hardware name: /DG965MQ, BIOS MQ96510J.86A.0372.2006.0605.1717 06/05/2006 00000000 00000000 f09c9e1c c18796b3 c1b5d74c f09c9e4c c103a0e3 c1b5154b f09c9e78 00001437 c1b5d74c 000005f7 c10bd85a c10bd85a c1cac57c f09c9eb0 ed0e0000 f09c9e64 c103a185 00000009 f09c9e5c c1b5154b f09c9e78 f09c9e80^M Call Trace: [<c18796b3>] dump_stack+0x4b/0x75 [<c103a0e3>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7e/0x95 [<c10bd85a>] ? __trace_find_cmdline+0x66/0xaa [<c10bd85a>] ? __trace_find_cmdline+0x66/0xaa [<c103a185>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x33/0x35 [<c10bd85a>] __trace_find_cmdline+0x66/0xaa^M [<c10bed04>] trace_find_cmdline+0x40/0x64 [<c10c3c16>] trace_print_context+0x27/0xec [<c10c4360>] ? trace_seq_printf+0x37/0x5b [<c10c0b15>] print_trace_line+0x319/0x39b [<c10ba3fb>] ? ring_buffer_read+0x47/0x50 [<c10c13b1>] s_show+0x192/0x1ab [<c10bfd9a>] ? s_next+0x5a/0x7c [<c112e76e>] seq_read+0x267/0x34c [<c1115a25>] vfs_read+0x8c/0xef [<c112e507>] ? seq_lseek+0x154/0x154 [<c1115ba2>] SyS_read+0x54/0x7f [<c188488e>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb ---[ end trace 3f507febd6b4cc83 ]--- >>>> ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### Which was the __trace_find_cmdline() function complaining about the pid in the event record being negative. After adding more test cases, this would trigger more often. Strangely enough, it would never trigger on a single test, but instead would trigger only when running all the tests. I believe that was the case because it required one of the tests to be shutting down via delayed instances while a new test started up. After spending several days debugging this, I found that it was caused by the iterator becoming corrupted. Debugging further, I found out why the iterator became corrupted. It happened with the rb_iter_reset(). As consuming reads may not read the full reader page, and only part of it, there's a "read" field to know where the last read took place. The iterator, must also start at the read position. In the rb_iter_reset() code, if the reader page was disconnected from the ring buffer, the iterator would start at the head page within the ring buffer (where writes still happen). But the mistake there was that it still used the "read" field to start the iterator on the head page, where it should always start at zero because readers never read from within the ring buffer where writes occur. I originally wrote a patch to have it set the iter->head to 0 instead of iter->head_page->read, but then I questioned why it wasn't always setting the iter to point to the reader page, as the reader page is still valid. The list_empty(reader_page->list) just means that it was successful in swapping out. But the reader_page may still have data. There was a bug report a long time ago that was not reproducible that had something about trace_pipe (consuming read) not matching trace (iterator read). This may explain why that happened. Anyway, the correct answer to this bug is to always use the reader page an not reset the iterator to inside the writable ring buffer.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event.

The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.

struct buffer_page *reader = NULL;
ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

ring-buffer: Fix uninitialized read_stamp The ring buffer reader page is used to swap a page from the writable ring buffer. If the writer happens to be on that page, it ends up on the reader page, but will simply move off of it, back into the writable ring buffer as writes are added. The time stamp passed back to the readers is stored in the cpu_buffer per CPU descriptor. This stamp is updated when a swap of the reader page takes place, and it reads the current stamp from the page taken from the writable ring buffer. Everytime a writer goes to a new page, it updates the time stamp of that page. The problem happens if a reader reads a page from an empty per CPU ring buffer. If the buffer is empty, the swap still takes place, placing the writer at the start of the reader page. If at a later time, a write happens, it updates the page's time stamp and continues. But the problem is that the read_stamp does not get updated, because the page was already swapped. The solution to this was to not swap the page if the ring buffer happens to be empty. This also removes the side effect that the writes on the reader page will not get updated because the writer never gets back on the reader page without a swap. That is, if a read happens on an empty buffer, but then no reads happen for a while. If a swap took place, and the writer were to start writing a lot of data (function tracer), it will start overflowing the ring buffer and overwrite the older data. But because the writer never goes back onto the reader page, the data left on the reader page never gets overwritten. This causes the reader to see really old data, followed by a jump to newer data.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

/*
ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together When the time between two timestamps is greater than 2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to events only having a 27 bit field to store time. Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been committed, it will stay in the buffer. If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning. This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added. Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the ring buffer interface need to be made. When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend.

ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together When the time between two timestamps is greater than 2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to events only having a 27 bit field to store time. Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been committed, it will stay in the buffer. If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning. This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added. Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer.

An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace.

Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future.

* @buffer: The ring buffer to get the next event from
ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

ring-buffer: Fix advance of reader in rb_buffer_peek() When calling rb_buffer_peek() from ring_buffer_consume() and a padding event is returned, the function rb_advance_reader() is called twice. This may lead to missing samples or under high workloads to the warning below. This patch fixes this. If a padding event is returned by rb_buffer_peek() it will be consumed by the calling function now.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish.

But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace.

/**
ring-buffer: Make non-consuming read less expensive with lots of cpus. When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing. This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus. Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we transform the existing sequence: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(), into the following: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_prepare(); } ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync(); for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to do the synchronize_sched(). The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter' memory and increments ->record_disabled. In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this ->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus. And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more. This makes openning the 'trace' file nearly instantaneous on a sparc64 Niagara2 box with 128 cpus tracing. Signed-off-by: David S.

* ring_buffer_read_prepare - Prepare for a non consuming read of the buffer
tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

* @buffer: The ring buffer to read from
* @cpu: The cpu buffer to iterate over
tracing: kdb: Fix ftdump to not sleep As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context". kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in atomic context. A very simple solution for this is to add allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without triggering the allocation error. This patch does that. Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer ahead of time or create our own iterator. I'm hoping that this alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already allocated). NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the duplication. This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer). The downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer. Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump | grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it will throw away the whole trace on the first grep. A future patch to dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to implement.

ring-buffer: Make non-consuming read less expensive with lots of cpus. When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing. This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus. Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we transform the existing sequence: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(), into the following: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_prepare(); } ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync(); for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to do the synchronize_sched(). The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter' memory and increments ->record_disabled. In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this ->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus. And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more. This makes openning the 'trace' file nearly instantaneous on a sparc64 Niagara2 box with 128 cpus tracing. Signed-off-by: David S.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs. I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

ring-buffer: Make non-consuming read less expensive with lots of cpus. When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing. This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus. Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we transform the existing sequence: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(), into the following: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_prepare(); } ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync(); for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to do the synchronize_sched(). The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter' memory and increments ->record_disabled. In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this ->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus. And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more.

* ring_buffer_read_finish - finish reading the iterator of the buffer
tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace.

ring-buffer: use commit counters for commit pointer accounting The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers. The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to get. The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index of the last committed write respectively. The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index of the last reserved data respectively (non committed). The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer. If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward. The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and even the commit forward. The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the accounting will break. This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer commit should move the pointers anyway. The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less racey than the commit updates. This change not only solves the mentioned race, but also makes the code simpler. [ Impact: fix commit race and simplify code ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.

Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish.

But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace.

tracing: unified trace buffer This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use. The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure: struct ring_buffer_event { u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27; u32 array[]; }; The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte aligned inside the buffer. There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only the data type is exported to the interface users). RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end of a buffer page. RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another 32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size). RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to help keep the buffer timestamps in sync. RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data. The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be 4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28 bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the data load and the len field is set to zero. Example, data size of 7 bytes: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 2 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty> This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer. An event with 82 bytes of data: type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA len = 0 time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp> array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment) array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty> The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct). 82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length. Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following functions to gain access to the event table, since the ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future. ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event. This is the size of the memory used to record this event, and not the size of the data pay load. ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event This returns the delta time stamp since the last event. Note: Even though this is in the header, there should be no reason to access this directly, accept for debugging. ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event This is the function to use to get the actual data from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to another location otherwise you risk it being written over in the buffer. ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer. ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer. ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the producer. The consumer/producer is the default. ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer. ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that the buffer is not being used while this is happening. This requirement may go away but do not count on it. ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an entry on the buffer to write to. ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to the buffer. ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer. ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and consume it. That is, this function increments the head pointer. ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer. For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future. But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not disable the ring buffer. ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables the ring buffer. ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator. ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it. ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end of the cpu buffer. ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer. Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs. ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this. Ftrace max latencies use this. ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty. ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty. ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only) ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only) ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers. ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer. ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer. ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap. ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp into nanosecs.

ring-buffer: Return reader page back into existing ring buffer When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice, where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page for the reader. The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc mechanism. Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring buffer.

tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pages The tracing ring buffer is a group of per-cpu ring buffers where allocation and logging is done on a per-cpu basis. The events that are generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer. This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node locality while accessing the ring buffer. However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation routine is running at the time. This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the logging CPU. I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the syscall to complete. The following command was used to test: $ getuid_microbench 1000000 Compared the numbers found on kernel with and without this patch and found that logging latency decreases by 30-50 ns/call. tracing with non-NUMA allocation - 569 ns/call tracing with NUMA allocation - 512 ns/call Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Cc: David Sharp <dhsharp@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304470602-20366-1-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() return error on offline CPU Chunyu Hu reported: "per_cpu trace directories and files are created for all possible cpus, but only the cpus which have ever been on-lined have their own per cpu ring buffer (allocated by cpuhp threads). While trace_buffers_open, the open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer. Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer. Reproduce: cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw (cpu31 is never on-lined, this is a 16 cores x86_64 box) Tested with: 1) boot with maxcpus=14, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15. Got -NODEV. 2) oneline cpu15, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15. Get the raw trace data. Call trace: [ 5760.950995] RIP: 0010:ring_buffer_alloc_read_page+0x32/0xe0 [ 5760.961678] tracing_buffers_read+0x1f6/0x230 [ 5760.962695] __vfs_read+0x37/0x160 [ 5760.963498] ? __vfs_read+0x5/0x160 [ 5760.964339] ? security_file_permission+0x9d/0xc0 [ 5760.965451] ? __vfs_read+0x5/0x160 [ 5760.966280] vfs_read+0x8c/0x130 [ 5760.967070] SyS_read+0x55/0xc0 [ 5760.967779] do_syscall_64+0x67/0x150 [ 5760.968687] entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25" This was introduced by the addition of the feature to reuse reader pages instead of re-allocating them. The problem is that the allocation of a reader page (which is per cpu) does not check if the cpu is online and set up for the ring buffer.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together When the time between two timestamps is greater than 2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to events only having a 27 bit field to store time. Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been committed, it will stay in the buffer. If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning. This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added. Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the ring buffer interface need to be made. When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend. Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting this idea.

ring-buffer: Bind time extend and data events together When the time between two timestamps is greater than 2^27 nanosecs (~134 ms) a time extend event is added that extends the time difference to 59 bits (~18 years). This is due to events only having a 27 bit field to store time. Currently this time extend is a separate event. We add it just before the event data that is being written to the buffer. But before the event data is committed, the event data can also be discarded (as with the case of filters). But because the time extend has already been committed, it will stay in the buffer. If lots of events are being filtered and no event is being written, then every 134ms a time extend can be added to the buffer without any data attached. To keep from filling the entire buffer with time extends, a time extend will never be the first event in a page because the page timestamp can be used. Time extends can only fill the rest of a page with some data at the beginning. This patch binds the time extend with the data. The difference here is that the time extend is not committed before the data is added. Instead, when a time extend is needed, the space reserved on the ring buffer is the time extend + the data event size. The time extend is added to the first part of the reserved block and the data is added to the second. The time extend event is passed back to the reserver, but since the reserver also uses a function to find the data portion of the reserved block, no changes to the ring buffer interface need to be made. When a commit is discarded, we now remove both the time extend and the event. With this approach no more than one time extend can be in the buffer in a row. Data must always follow a time extend. Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting this idea.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.
