In using syscall tracing by concurrent processes, the wakeup() that is
called in the event commit function causes contention on the spin lock
of the waitqueue. I enabled sys_enter_getuid and sys_exit_getuid
tracepoints, and by running getuid_microbench from autotest in parallel
I found that the contention causes exponential latency increase in the
tracing path.
The autotest binary getuid_microbench calls getuid() in a tight loop for
the given number of iterations and measures the average time required to
complete a single invocation of syscall.
The patch schedules a delayed work after 2 ms once an event commit calls
to wake up the trace wait_queue. This removes the delay caused by
contention on spin lock in wakeup() and amortizes the wakeup() calls
scheduled over the 2 ms period.
In the following example, the script enables the sys_enter_getuid and
sys_exit_getuid tracepoints and runs the getuid_microbench in parallel
with the given number of processes. The output clearly shows the latency
increase caused by contentions.

The update of what to show via the seq_file was only updated

the initial modifying of mcount callers to nops, and update the comment.
The original comment was outdated and stated that the interrupts were
being disabled to prevent kstop machine, which was required with the

What the comment failed to mention was that interrupts needed to be
disabled to keep interrupts from preempting the modifying of the code
and then executing the code that was partially modified.

Witold reported a reboot caused by the selftests of the dynamic function
tracer. He sent me a config and I used ktest to do a config_bisect on it
(as my config did not cause the crash). It pointed out that the problem
config was CONFIG_PROVE_RCU.
What happened was that if multiple callbacks are attached to the
function tracer, we iterate a list of callbacks. Because the list is
managed by synchronize_sched() and preempt_disable, the access to the
pointers uses rcu_dereference_raw().
When PROVE_RCU is enabled, the rcu_dereference_raw() calls some
debugging functions, which happen to be traced. The tracing of the debug
function would then call rcu_dereference_raw() which would then call the
debug function and then... well you get the idea.
I first wrote two different patches to solve this bug.
1) add a __rcu_dereference_raw() that would not do any checks.
2) add notrace to the offending debug functions.
Both of these patches worked.
Talking with Paul McKenney on IRC, he suggested to add recursion
detection instead. This seemed to be a better solution, so I decided to
implement it. As the task_struct already has a trace_recursion to detect
recursion in the ring buffer, and that has a very small number it
allows, I decided to use that same variable to add flags that can detect
the recursion inside the infrastructure of the function tracer.
I plan to change it so that the task struct bit can be checked in
mcount, but as that requires changes to all archs, I will hold that off
to the next merge window.

Since users of the function tracer can now pick and choose which
functions they want to trace agnostically from other users of the
function tracer, we need to pass the ops struct to the ftrace_set_filter()
functions.
The functions ftrace_set_global_filter() and ftrace_set_global_notrace()
is added to keep the old filter functions which are used to modify
the generic function tracers.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense
that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to
be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure
at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that
structure will trace.
Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called
indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in
entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount
from being preempted before calling the function, unless we
modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated
functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that
loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than
one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a
preempt_disable.
To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new
util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called
core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between
_sdata and _edata.

Add the enabled_functions file that is used to show all the
functions that have been enabled for tracing as well as their
ref counts. This helps seeing if any function has been registered
and what functions are being traced.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Every function has its own record that stores the instruction
pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only
two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing
for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free
flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can
be used by new functions (loaded modules).
These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just
the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as
a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace,
those functions will have its counter incremented.
When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced,
the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace.
When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes
are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then
all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions
in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function
is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter
is not incremented for this ftrace_ops.

When filtering, allocate a hash to insert the function records.
After the filtering is complete, assign it to the ftrace_ops structure.
This allows the ftrace_ops structure to have a much smaller array of
hash buckets instead of wasting a lot of memory.
A read only empty_hash is created to be the minimum size that any ftrace_ops
can point to.
When a new hash is created, it has the following steps:
o Allocate a default hash.
o Walk the function records assigning the filtered records to the hash
o Allocate a new hash with the appropriate size buckets
o Move the entries from the default hash to the new hash.

- bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to

- LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow
These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe

to the formats that are used by trace_bprintk() so that userspace

This is because trace_bprintk() does not store the format into the

In blk_add_trace_rq, we only chose the minor 2 bits from
request's cmd_flags and did some check for discard.
so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.
For example, with a sync write after blkparse we get:
8,16 1 1 0.001776503 7509 A WS 1349632 + 1024 <- (8,17) 1347584

8,16 0 2 0.006218192 0 C W 1349632 + 1024 [0]
Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to __blk_add_trace.
With this patch, after a sync write we get:

What happens is the "ftrace=..." will expand the ring buffer to its
default size (from its minimum size) but it will not expand the
max ring buffer (the ring buffer to store maximum latencies).
When the irqsoff test runs, it will call the ring buffer swap routine
that checks if the max ring buffer is the same size as the normal
ring buffer, and will fail if it is not. This causes the test to fail.
The solution is to expand the max ring buffer before running the self
test if the max ring buffer is used by that tracer and the normal ring
buffer is expanded. The max ring buffer should be shrunk again after
the test is done to save space.

When the fuction graph tracer starts, it needs to make a special
stack for each task to save the real return values of the tasks.
All running tasks have this stack created, as well as any new
tasks.
On CPU hot plug, the new idle task will allocate a stack as well
when init_idle() is called. The problem is that cpu hotplug does
not create a new idle_task. Instead it uses the idle task that
existed when the cpu went down.
ftrace_graph_init_task() will add a new ret_stack to the task
that is given to it. Because a clone will make the task
have a stack of its parent it does not check if the task's
ret_stack is already NULL or not. When the CPU hotplug code
starts a CPU up again, it will allocate a new stack even
though one already existed for it.
The solution is to treat the idle_task specially. In fact, the
function_graph code already does, just not at init_idle().
Instead of using the ftrace_graph_init_task() for the idle task,
which that function expects the task to be a clone, have a
separate ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(). Also, we will create a
per_cpu ret_stack that is used by the idle task. When we call
ftrace_graph_init_idle_task() it will check if the idle task's
ret_stack is NULL, if it is, then it will assign it the per_cpu
ret_stack.

FTRACE_SYSCALLS would create events for each and every system call, even
if it had failed to map the system call's name with it's number. This
resulted in a number of events being created that would not behave as
expected.
This could happen, for example, on architectures who's symbol names are
unusual and will not match the system call name. It could also happen
with system calls which were mapped to sys_ni_syscall.
This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1.
If the system call name from the metadata is not successfully mapped to
a system call number during boot, than the event initialisation routine
will now return an error, preventing the event from being created.

When creating a new filter, instead of allocating the filter to the
event call first and then processing the filter, it is easier to
process a temporary filter and then just swap it with the call filter.
By doing this, it simplifies the code.
A filter is allocated and processed, when it is done, it is
swapped with the call filter, synchronize_sched() is called to make
sure all callers are done with the old filter (filters are called
with premption disabled), and then the old filter is freed.

There are many cases that a filter will contain multiple ORs or
ANDs together near the leafs. Walking up and down the tree to get
to the next compare can be a waste.
If there are several ORs or ANDs together, fold them into a single
pred and allocate an array of the conditions that they check.
This will speed up the filter by linearly walking an array
and can still break out if a short circuit condition is met.

That is if the result is true and the op is an OP_OR, or
if the result is false and the op is not an OP_OR (thus an OP_AND)
we can break out early in either case. Otherwise we continue

Currently the filter_match_preds() requires a stack to push
and pop the preds to determine if the filter matches the record or not.
This has two drawbacks:
1) It requires a stack to store state information. As this is done
in fast paths we can't allocate the storage for this stack, and
we can't use a global as it must be re-entrant. The stack is stored
on the kernel stack and this greatly limits how many preds we
may allow.
2) All conditions are calculated even when a short circuit exists.
a || b will always calculate a and b even though a was determined
to be true.
Using a tree we can walk a constant structure that will save
the state as we go. The algorithm is simply:
pred = root;
do {
switch (move) {
case MOVE_DOWN:
if (OR or AND) {
pred = left;
continue;
}
if (pred == root)
break;
match = pred->fn();
pred = pred->parent;
move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT;
continue;
case MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT:
/* Only OR or AND can be a parent */
if (match && OR || !match && AND) {
/* short circuit */
if (pred == root)
break;
pred = pred->parent;
move = left child ?
MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT :
MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT;
continue;
}
pred = pred->right;
move = MOVE_DOWN;
continue;
case MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT:
if (pred == root)
break;
pred = pred->parent;
move = left child ? MOVE_UP_FROM_LEFT : MOVE_UP_FROM_RIGHT;
continue;
}
done = 1;
} while (!done);
This way there's no strict limit to how many preds we allow
and it also will short circuit the logical operations when possible.

Currently we allocate an array of pointers to filter_preds, and then
allocate a separate filter_pred for each item in the array.
This adds slight overhead in the filters as it needs to derefernce
twice to get to the op condition.
Allocating the preds themselves in a single array removes a dereference
as well as helps on the cache footprint.

By separating out the reseting of the filter->n_preds to zero from

For every filter that is made, we create predicates to hold every
operation within the filter. We have a max of 32 predicates that we
can hold. Currently, we allocate all 32 even if we only need to
use one.
Part of the reason we do this is that the filter can be used at
any moment by any event. Fortunately, the filter is only used
with preemption disabled. By reseting the count of preds used "n_preds"
to zero, then performing a synchronize_sched(), we can safely
free and reallocate a new array of preds.

The n_preds field of a file can change at anytime, and even can become
zero, just as the filter is about to be processed by an event.
In the case that is zero on entering the filter, return 1, telling
the caller the event matchs and should be trace.
Also use a variable and assign it with ACCESS_ONCE() such that the

Add bitfield type for tracing arguments on kprobe-tracer. The syntax of
a bitfield type is:
b<bit-size>@<bit-offset>/<container-size>
e.g.
Accessing 2 bits-width field with 4 bits-offset in 32 bits-width data at
4 bytes offseted from the address pointed by AX register:
+4(%ax):b2@4/32
Since the width of container data depends on the arch, so I just added
the container-size at the end.

Currently the syscall_meta structures for the syscall tracepoints are
placed in the __syscall_metadata section, and at link time, the linker
makes one large array of all these syscall metadata structures. On boot
up, this array is read (much like the initcall sections) and the syscall
data is processed.
The problem is that there is no guarantee that gcc will place complex
structures nicely together in an array format. Two structures in the
same file may be placed awkwardly, because gcc has no clue that they
are suppose to be in an array.
A hack was used previous to force the alignment to 4, to pack the
structures together. But this caused alignment issues with other
architectures (sparc).
Instead of packing the structures into an array, the structures' addresses
are now put into the __syscall_metadata section. As pointers are always the
natural alignment, gcc should always pack them tightly together
(otherwise initcall, extable, etc would also fail).
By having the pointers to the structures in the section, we can still
iterate the trace_events without causing unnecessary alignment problems
with other architectures, or depending on the current behaviour of
gcc that will likely change in the future just to tick us kernel developers
off a little more.
The __syscall_metadata section is also moved into the .init.data section
as it is now only needed at boot up.

During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is
properly initialized. During this time, no one should enable
local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with
IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require
communications with other processors, are allowed.
lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks.
As other subsystems need this information too, move it to
init/main.c and make it generally available. While at it,
toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of
enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true
indicates the exceptional condition.

Now if we enable blktrace, cfq has too many messages output to the

But if I do like this:

I only want to see 'D' and 'C', while with the following command
dd if=/mnt/ocfs2/test of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1 iflag=direct

These warnings are trivial to kill, yet rather annoying when building with

The more we can cut down on pointless crap like this the better (IMHO).

There is no need for syscall_exit_fields as the syscall
exit event class can already host the fields in its structure,
like most other trace events do by default. Use that
default behavior instead.
Following this scheme, we don't need anymore to override the
get_fields() callback of the syscall exit event class either.
Hence both syscall_exit_fields and syscall_get_exit_fields() can
be removed.
Also changed some indentation to keep the following under 80
characters:
".fields = LIST_HEAD_INIT(event_class_syscall_exit.fields),"

Fix two related problems in the event-copying loop of
ring_buffer_read_page.
The loop condition for copying events is off-by-one.
"len" is the remaining space in the caller-supplied page.
"size" is the size of the next event (or two events).
If len == size, then there is just enough space for the next event.
size was set to rb_event_ts_length, which may include the size of two
events if the first event is a time-extend, in order to assure time-
extends are kept together with the event after it. However,
rb_advance_reader always advances by one event. This would result in the
event after any time-extend being duplicated. Instead, get the size of
a single event for the memcpy, but use rb_event_ts_length for the loop
condition.

The file_ops struct for the "trace" special file defined llseek as seq_lseek().
However, if the file was opened for writing only, seq_open() was not called,
and the seek would dereference a null pointer, file->private_data.
This patch introduces a new wrapper for seq_lseek() which checks if the file
descriptor is opened for reading first. If not, it does nothing.

Currently we have in something like the sched_switch event:
field:char prev_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
When a userspace tool such as perf tries to parse this, the
TASK_COMM_LEN is meaningless. This is done because the TRACE_EVENT() macro
simply uses a #len to show the string of the length. When the length is
an enum, we get a string that means nothing for tools.
By adding a static buffer and a mutex to protect it, we can store the
string into that buffer with snprintf and show the actual number.
Now we get:
field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:1;
Something much more useful.

at this point is:
- various checks inside the block layer.
- sanity checks in bio based drivers.
- now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
- Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
- setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
drivers.
- scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
