When an instance is created, it also gets a snapshot ring buffer allocated (with minimum of pages). But when it is deleted the snapshot buffer is not. There was a helper function added to match the allocation of these ring buffers to a way to free them, but it wasn't used by the deletion of an instance. Using that helper function solves this memory leak. Signed-off-by:

Yoshihiro Yunomae reported that the ring buffer data for a trace instance does not get properly cleaned up when it fails. He proposed a patch that manually cleaned the data up and addad a bunch of labels. The labels are not needed because all trace array is allocated with a kzalloc which initializes it to 0 and all kfree()s can take a NULL pointer and will ignore it. Adding a new helper function free_trace_buffers() that can also take null buffers to free the buffers that were allocated by allocate_trace_buffers().

If tracing is disabled on boot up, the kernel should not execute tracing self tests. The kernel should check whether tracing is disabled or not before executing any of the tracing self tests. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/p/20140605223520.32311.56097.stgit@yunodevel Acked-by:

ftrace_trace_arrays links global_trace.list. However, global_trace is not added to ftrace_trace_arrays if trace_alloc_buffers() failed. As the result, ftrace_trace_arrays becomes an empty list. If ftrace_trace_arrays is an empty list, current top_trace_array() returns an invalid pointer. As the result, the kernel can induce memory corruption or panic. Current implementation does not check whether ftrace_trace_arrays is empty list or not. So, in this patch, if ftrace_trace_arrays is empty list, top_trace_array() returns NULL. Moreover, this patch makes all functions calling top_trace_array() handle it appropriately. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/p/20140605223517.32311.99233.stgit@yunodevel Signed-off-by:

When calculating the average and standard deviation, it is required that the count be less than UINT_MAX, otherwise the do_div() will get undefined results. After 2^32 counts of data, the average and standard deviation should pretty much be set anyway. Signed-off-by:

I've been told that do_div() expects an unsigned 64 bit number, and is undefined if a signed is used. This gave a warning on the MIPS build. I'm not sure if a signed 64 bit dividend is really an issue or not, but the calculation this is used for is standard deviation, and that isn't going to be negative. We can just convert it to unsigned and be safe. Reported-by:

Introduce saved_cmdlines_size file for changing the number of saved pid-comms. saved_cmdlines currently stores 128 command names using SAVED_CMDLINES, but 'no-existing processes' names are often lost in saved_cmdlines when we read the trace data. So, by introducing saved_cmdlines_size file, we can now change the 128 command names saved to something much larger if needed. When we write a value to saved_cmdlines_size, the number of the value will be stored in pid-comm list: # echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/saved_cmdlines_size Here, 1024 command names can be stored. The default number is 128 and the maximum number is PID_MAX_DEFAULT (=32768 if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is not set). So, if we want to avoid losing any command names, we need to set 32768 to saved_cmdlines_size. We can read the maximum number of the list: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/saved_cmdlines_size 128 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/p/20140605012427.22115.16173.stgit@yunodevel Signed-off-by:

If a trace event uses a dynamic array for something other than a string then there's currently no way the TP_printk() can figure out what size it is. A __get_dynamic_array_len() is required to know the length. This also simplifies the __get_bitmask() macro which required it as well, but instead just hardcoded it. Signed-off-by:

If allocation of the max_buffer fails on boot up, the error path will free both per_cpu data structures from the buffers. With the new redesign of the code, those structures are freed if allocations failed. That is, the helper function that allocates the buffers will free the per cpu data on failure. No need to do it again. In fact, the second free will cause a bug as the code can not handle a double free. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/p/20140603042803.27308.30956.stgit@yunodevel Signed-off-by:

I just went over this when looking at some Xen-related ftrace initialization problems. They were related to Xen code that is not upstream but this clean up would make sense here. I think that this was already the intention when text_ip_addr() was introduced in the commit 87fbb2ac (ftrace/x86: Use breakpoints for converting function graph caller). Anyway, better do it now before it shots people into their leg ;-) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/p/1401812601-2359-1-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.cz Signed-off-by:

While I played with my own feature(ex, something on the way to reclaim), the kernel would easily oops. I guessed that the reason had to do with stack overflow and wanted to prove it. I discovered the stack tracer which proved to be very useful for me but the kernel would oops before my user program gather the information via "watch cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace" so I couldn't get any message from that. What I needed was to have the stack tracer emit the kernel stack usage before it does the oops so I could find what was hogging the stack. This patch shows the callstack of max stack usage right before an oops so we can find a culprit. So, the result is as follows.

With the conversion of the saved_cmdlines output to use seq_read, there is now a race between accessing the values of the saved_cmdlines and the writing to them. The trace_cmdline_lock needs to be taken at the start and stop of the seq calls. A new __trace_find_cmdline() call is created to allow for the look up to happen without taking the lock.

In order to prevent the saved cmdline cache from being filled when tracing is not active, the comms are only recorded after a trace event is recorded. The problem is, a comm can fail to be recorded if the trace_cmdline_lock is held. That lock is taken via a trylock to allow it to happen from any context (including NMI). If the lock fails to be taken, the comm is skipped. No big deal, as we will try again later. But! Because of the code that was added to only record after an event, we may not try again later as the recording is made as a oneshot per event per CPU. Only disable the recording of the comm if the comm is actually recorded. Fixes: 7ffbd48d "tracing: Cache comms only after an event occurred" Signed-off-by:

Current tracing_saved_cmdlines_read() implementation is naive; It allocates a large buffer, constructs output data to that buffer for each read operation, and then copies a portion of the buffer to the user space buffer. This has several issues such as slow memory allocation, high CPU usage, and even corruption of the output data. The seq_read infrastructure is made to handle this type of work. By converting it to use seq_read() the code becomes smaller, simplified, as well as correct. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/p/20140220084431.3839.51793.stgit@yunodevel Signed-off-by:

In order to help benchmark the time tracepoints take, a new config option is added called CONFIG_TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK. When this option is set a tracepoint is created called "benchmark:benchmark_event". When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint. The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of "START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first write which is not added to the rest of the calculations. As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already. An example of the output: START first=3672 [COLD CACHED] last=632 first=3672 max=632 min=632 avg=316 std=446 std^2=199712 last=278 first=3672 max=632 min=278 avg=303 std=316 std^2=100337 last=277 first=3672 max=632 min=277 avg=296 std=258 std^2=67064 last=273 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=292 std=224 std^2=50411 last=273 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=288 std=200 std^2=40389 last=281 first=3672 max=632 min=273 avg=287 std=183 std^2=33666 Signed-off-by:

trace_printk() is used to debug fast paths within the kernel. Places that gets called in any context (interrupt or NMI) or thousands of times a second. Something you do not want to do with a printk(). In order to make it completely lockless as it needs a temporary buffer to handle some of the string formatting, a page is created per cpu for every context (four per cpu; normal, softirq, irq, NMI). Since trace_printk() should only be used for debugging purposes, there's no reason to waste memory on these buffers on a production system. That means, trace_printk() should never be used unless a developer is debugging their kernel. There's macro magic to allocate the buffers if trace_printk() is used anywhere in the kernel. To help enforce that trace_printk() isn't used outside of development, when it is used, a nasty banner is displayed on bootup (or when a module is loaded that uses trace_printk() and the kernel core does not). Here's the banner: ********************************************************** ** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE ** ** ** ** trace_printk() being used. Allocating extra memory. ** ** ** ** This means that this is a DEBUG kernel and it is ** ** unsafe for produciton use. ** ** ** ** If you see this message and you are not debugging ** ** the kernel, report this immediately to your vendor! ** ** ** ** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE ** ********************************************************** That should hopefully keep developers from trying to sneak in a trace_printk() or two.

Being able to show a cpumask of events can be useful as some events may affect only some CPUs. There is no standard way to record the cpumask and converting it to a string is rather expensive during the trace as traces happen in hotpaths. It would be better to record the raw event mask and be able to parse it at print time. The following macros were added for use with the TRACE_EVENT() macro: __bitmask() __assign_bitmask() __get_bitmask() To test this, I added this to the sched_migrate_task event, which looked like this: TRACE_EVENT(sched_migrate_task, TP_PROTO(struct task_struct *p, int dest_cpu, const struct cpumask *cpus), TP_ARGS(p, dest_cpu, cpus), TP_STRUCT__entry( __array( char, comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, pid ) __field( int, prio ) __field( int, orig_cpu ) __field( int, dest_cpu ) __bitmask( cpumask, num_possible_cpus() ) ), TP_fast_assign( memcpy(__entry->comm, p->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->pid = p->pid; __entry->prio = p->prio; __entry->orig_cpu = task_cpu(p); __entry->dest_cpu = dest_cpu; __assign_bitmask(cpumask, cpumask_bits(cpus), num_possible_cpus()); ), TP_printk("comm=%s pid=%d prio=%d orig_cpu=%d dest_cpu=%d cpumask=%s", __entry->comm, __entry->pid, __entry->prio, __entry->orig_cpu, __entry->dest_cpu, __get_bitmask(cpumask)) ); With the output of: ksmtuned-3613 [003] d..2 485.220508: sched_migrate_task: comm=ksmtuned pid=3615 prio=120 orig_cpu=3 dest_cpu=2 cpumask=00000000,0000000f migration/1-13 [001] d..5 485.221202: sched_migrate_task: comm=ksmtuned pid=3614 prio=120 orig_cpu=1 dest_cpu=0 cpumask=00000000,0000000f awk-3615 [002] d.H5 485.221747: sched_migrate_task: comm=rcu_preempt pid=7 prio=120 orig_cpu=0 dest_cpu=1 cpumask=00000000,000000ff migration/2-18 [002] d..5 485.222062: sched_migrate_task: comm=ksmtuned pid=3615 prio=120 orig_cpu=2 dest_cpu=3 cpumask=00000000,0000000f Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1399377998-14870-6-git-send-email-javi.merino@arm.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140506132238.22e136d1@gandalf.local.home Suggested-by:

As the decision to what needs to be done (converting a call to the ftrace_caller to ftrace_caller_regs or to convert from ftrace_caller_regs to ftrace_caller) can easily be determined from the rec->flags of FTRACE_FL_REGS and FTRACE_FL_REGS_EN, there's no need to have the ftrace_check_record() return either a UPDATE_MODIFY_CALL_REGS or a UPDATE_MODIFY_CALL.

Move and rename get_ftrace_addr() and get_ftrace_addr_old() to ftrace_get_addr_new() and ftrace_get_addr_curr() respectively. This moves these two helper functions in the generic code out from the arch specific code, and renames them to have a better generic name. This will allow other archs to use them as well as makes it a bit easier to work on getting separate trampolines for different functions. ftrace_get_addr_new() returns the trampoline address that the mcount call address will be converted to. ftrace_get_addr_curr() returns the trampoline address of what the mcount call address currently jumps to.

The add_breakpoint() code in the ftrace updating gets the address of what the call will become, but if the mcount address is changing from regs to non-regs ftrace_caller or vice versa, it will use what the record currently is.

Commit 4104d326 "ftrace: Remove global function list and call function directly" cleaned up the global_ops filtering and made the code simpler, but it left a variable "hash_enable" that was used to know if the hash functions should be updated or not. It was updated if the global_ops did not override them. As the global_ops are now no different than any other ftrace_ops, the hash always gets updated and there's no reason to use the hash_enable boolean. The same goes for hash_disable used in ftrace_shutdown(). Signed-off-by:

There are some code paths in the kernel that need to do some preparations before it calls a tracepoint. As that code is worthless overhead when the tracepoint is not enabled, it would be prudent to have that code only run when the tracepoint is active. To accomplish this, all tracepoints now get a static inline function called "trace_<tracepoint-name>_enabled()" which returns true when the tracepoint is enabled and false otherwise. As an added bonus, that function uses the static_key of the tracepoint such that no branch is needed. if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled()) { arg = process_tp_arg(); trace_mytracepoint(arg); } Will keep the "process_tp_arg()" (which may be expensive to run) from being executed when the tracepoint isn't enabled. It's best to encapsulate the tracepoint itself in the if statement just to keep races. For example, if you had: if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled()) arg = process_tp_arg(); trace_mytracepoint(arg); There's a chance that the tracepoint could be enabled just after the if statement, and arg will be undefined when calling the tracepoint.

It has been a while since I last sent a tracing patch. I always keep an eye on tracing evolutions and contributions in general but given how busy I am with nohz, isolation and more generally core cleanups stuff, I seldom have time left to provide deep reviews of tracing patches nor simply for reviews to begin with. I've been very lucky to start kernel development on a very young subsystem with tons of low hanging fruits back in 2008. Given that it deals with a lot of tricky stuffs all around (sched, timers, irq, preemption, NMIs, SMP, RCU, ....) I basically learned everything there. Steve has been doing most of the incredible work these last years. Thanks a lot! Of course consider me always available to help on tracing if any hard days happen.

Now that the ring buffer has a built in way to wake up readers when there's data, using irq_work such that it is safe to do it in any context. But it was still using the old "poor man's" wait polling that checks every 1/10 of a second to see if it should wake up a waiter. This makes the latency for a wake up excruciatingly long. No need to do that anymore. Completely remove the different wait_poll types from the tracers and have them all use the default one now. Reported-by:

When reading from trace_pipe, if tracing is off but nothing was read it should block. If something is read and tracing is off, then EOF is returned. If tracing is on and there's nothing to read, it will block. But because the check of whether tracing is off and something was read is done after the block on the pipe, it is hit or miss if the EOF is returned or not leading to inconsistent behavior.

Instead of initializing the pm notifier block in register_ftrace_graph(), initialize it statically. This safes us some code. Found in the PaX patch, written by the PaX Team.

The colon at the end of the printk message suggests that it should get printed before the details printed by ftrace_bug(). When touching the line, let's use the preferred pr_warn() macro as suggested by checkpatch.pl. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1392650573-3390-5-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.cz Signed-off-by:

The irqsoff, preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracers can now be used by instances. But they may only be used by one instance at a time (including the top level directory). This allows multiple tracers to run while the irqsoff (and friends) tracer is running simultaneously. Signed-off-by:
