Steven Rostedt b375a11a23 tracing: switch function prints from %pf to %ps
For direct function pointers (like what mcount provides) PowerPC64
requires the use of %ps, otherwise nothing is printed.

This patch converts all prints of functions retrieved through mcount
to use the %ps format from the %pf.

Steven Rostedt 49ff590390 tracing: add latency format to function_graph tracer
While debugging something with the function_graph tracer, I found the
need to see the preempt count of the traces. Unfortunately, since
the function graph tracer has its own output formatting, it does not
honor the latency-format option.

This patch makes the function_graph tracer honor the latency-format
option, but still keeps control of the output. But now we have the
same details that the latency-format supplies.

Steven Rostedt e77405ad80 tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer
The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.

This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

print_graph_cpu() is little over-designed.

And "log10_all" may be wrong when there are holes in cpu_online_mask:
the max online cpu id > cpumask_weight(cpu_online_mask)

So change it by using a static column length for the cpu matching

Lai Jiangshan 38ceb592fc tracing: Fix invalid function_graph entry
When print_graph_entry() computes a function call entry event, it needs
to also check the next entry to guess if it matches the return event of
the current function entry.
In order to look at this next event, it needs to consume the current
entry before going ahead in the ring buffer.

However, if the current event that gets consumed is the last one in the
ring buffer head page, the ring_buffer may reuse the page for writers.
The consumed entry will then become invalid because of possible
racy overwriting.

Me must then handle this entry by making a copy of it.

The fix also applies on 2.6.30

Steven Rostedt 71e308a239 function-graph: add stack frame test
In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
from function code, we would like to detect that.

An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
this purpose.

This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.

There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.

This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.

This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
the new prototype.

Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

Steven Rostedt 82310a3272 function-graph: enable the stack after initialization of other variables
The function graph tracer checks if the task_struct has ret_stack defined
to know if it is OK or not to use it. The initialization is done for
all tasks by one process, but the idle tasks use the same initialization
used by new tasks.

If an interrupt happens on an idle task that just had the ret_stack
created, but before the rest of the initialization took place, then
we can corrupt the return address of the functions.

This patch moves the setting of the task_struct's ret_stack to after
the other variables have been initialized.

[ Impact: prevent kernel panic on idle task when starting function graph ]

Steven Rostedt 5087f8d2a2 function-graph: show binary events as comments
With the added TRACE_EVENT macro, the events no longer appear in
the function graph tracer. This was because the function graph
did not know how to display the entries. The graph tracer was
only aware of its own entries and the printk entries.

By using the event call back feature, the graph tracer can now display
the events.

Which can show:

 0)               |          handle_IRQ_event() {

Steven Rostedt 2fbcdb35ac function-graph: calculate function depth within function graph tracer
Currently, the function graph tracer depends on the trace_printk
to record the depth. All the information is already there in the trace
to calculate function depth, with the exception of having the printk
be the first item. But as soon as a entry or exit is reached, then
we know the depth.

This patch changes the iter->private data from recording a per cpu
last_pid, to a structure that holds both the last_pid and the current
depth. This data is used to determine the function depth for the
printks.

Frederic Weisbecker 48ead02030 tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats strings
Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings

Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static
containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is
assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic
formats.

So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers
that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format
strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation
for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will
still be used.

The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old
implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't
guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not.

Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably
the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

Frederic Weisbecker 769b0441f4 tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of trace_bprintk()
Impact: faster and lighter tracing

Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser
memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop
the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(),
which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to
trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use
trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries.

Some changes result of this:

- Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't
  work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation
  of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated
  in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file
  trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module
  management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c

- changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries.

- change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats
  constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for
  developers.

- etc...

V2:

- Rebase against last changes
- Fix mispell on the changelog

V3:

- Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h)

Frederic Weisbecker 6eaaa5d57e tracing/core: use appropriate waiting on trace_pipe
Impact: api and pipe waiting change

Currently, the waiting used in tracing_read_pipe() is done through a
100 msecs schedule_timeout() loop which periodically check if there
are traces on the buffer.

This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming
events.

This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except
for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be
already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader.

This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer.
If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for
trace_wait queue is attached.

Frederic Weisbecker b91facc367 tracing/function-graph-tracer: handle the leaf functions from trace_pipe
When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets:

 function();

whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following:

 function() {
 }

This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files.
On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can
check the next entry.

There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked
and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while
we don't consume it.

This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing
core to not consume the current entry after printing it.

We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check
the next one.

Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

Frederic Weisbecker 9005f3ebeb tracing/function-graph-tracer: various fixes and features
This patch brings various bugfixes:

- Drop the first irrelevant task switch on the very beginning of a trace.

- Drop the OVERHEAD word from the headers, the DURATION word is sufficient
  and will not overlap other columns.

- Make the headers fit well their respective columns whatever the
  selected options.

Ie, default options:

 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |

  1)   0.646 us    |                    }
  1)               |                    mem_cgroup_del_lru_list() {
  1)   0.624 us    |                      lookup_page_cgroup();
  1)   1.970 us    |                    }

 echo funcgraph-proc > trace_options

 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  TASK/PID        DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 # |    |    |           |   |                     |   |   |   |

  0)   bash-2937    |   0.895 us    |                }
  0)   bash-2937    |   0.888 us    |                __rcu_read_unlock();
  0)   bash-2937    |   0.864 us    |                conv_uni_to_pc();
  0)   bash-2937    |   1.015 us    |                __rcu_read_lock();

 echo nofuncgraph-cpu > trace_options
 echo nofuncgraph-proc > trace_options

 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 #   DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 #    |   |                     |   |   |   |

   3.752 us    |                  native_pud_val();
   0.616 us    |                  native_pud_val();
   0.624 us    |                  native_pmd_val();

About features, one can now disable the duration (this will hide the
overhead too for convenient reasons and because on  doesn't need
overhead if it hasn't the duration):

 echo nofuncgraph-duration > trace_options

 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 #                FUNCTION CALLS
 #                |   |   |   |

           cap_vm_enough_memory() {
             __vm_enough_memory() {
               vm_acct_memory();
             }
           }
         }

And at last, an option to print the absolute time:

 //Restart from default options
 echo funcgraph-abstime > trace_options

 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 #      TIME       CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 #       |         |     |   |                     |   |   |   |

   261.339774 |   1) + 42.823 us   |    }

   261.339778 |   1)   0.752 us    |    _spin_unlock_irqrestore();
   261.339780 |   1)   0.857 us    |    _spin_unlock_irq();
   261.339782 |   1)               |    flush_to_ldisc() {
   261.339783 |   1)               |      tty_ldisc_ref() {
   261.339783 |   1)               |        tty_ldisc_try() {
   261.339784 |   1)   1.075 us    |          _spin_lock_irqsave();

   261.339788 |   1)   4.211 us    |        }
   261.339788 |   1)   5.662 us    |      }

The format is seconds.usecs.

I guess no one needs the nanosec precision here, the main goal is to have
an overview about the general timings of events, and to see the place when
the trace switches from one cpu to another.

ie:

   274.874760 |   1)   0.676 us    |      _spin_unlock();
   274.874762 |   1)   0.609 us    |      native_load_sp0();
   274.874763 |   1)   0.602 us    |      native_load_tls();
   274.878739 |   0)   0.722 us    |                  }
   274.878740 |   0)   0.714 us    |                  native_pmd_val();
   274.878741 |   0)   0.730 us    |                  native_pmd_val();

Here there is a 4000 usecs difference when we switch the cpu.

Changes in V2:

- Completely fix the first pointless task switch.

Frederic Weisbecker 166d3c7994 tracing/function-graph-tracer: improve duration output
Impact: better trace output of duration for long calls

The old duration output didn't exceeded 9999.999 us to fit the column
and the nanosecs were always 3 numbers. As Ingo suggested, it's better
to have the whole microseconds elapsed time and shift the nanosecs precision
if needed to fit the maximum 7 numbers. And usec need more number, the case
should be rare and important enough to break a bit the column alignment to
show it.

So, depending of the duration value, we now have these patterns:

    u.nnn us
   uu.nnn us
  uuu.nnn us
 uuuu.nnn us
 uuuuu.nn us
 uuuuuu.n us
 uuuuuuuu..... us

Its output is provided during task switching and on each row if the new

The output is center aligned and never exceeds 14 characters. The cmdline
is truncated over 7 chars.
But note that if the pid exceeds 6 characters, the column will overflow (but

Frederic Weisbecker 1a056155ed tracing/function-graph-tracer: adjustments of the trace informations
Impact: increase the visual qualities of the call-graph-tracer output

This patch applies various trace output formatting changes:

 - CPU is now a decimal number, followed by a parenthesis.

 - Overhead is now on the second column (gives a good visibility)

 - Cost is now on the third column, can't exceed 9999.99 us. It is
   followed by a virtual line based on a "|" character.

 - Functions calls are now the last column on the right. This way, we
   haven't dynamic column (which flow is harder to follow) on its right.

 - CPU and Overhead have their own option flag. They are default-on but you
   can disable them easily:

      echo nofuncgraph-cpu > trace_options
      echo nofuncgraph-overhead > trace_options

TODO:

_ Refactoring of the thread switch output.
_ Give a default-off option to output the thread and its pid on each row.
_ Provide headers
_ ....

Here is an example of the new trace style:

0)      0.639 us |           __mutex_unlock_slowpath();
