tracing: new format for specialized trace points Impact: clean up and enhancement The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro looks quite ugly and is limited in its ability to save data as well as to print the record out. Working with Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old macro, and is more obvious to what it does. Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the sched_switch trace point. The old method looked like this: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_FMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d", prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio) TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN], next_comm, TP_CMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN))) TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio) ), TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d") ); The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields. The new method: /* * Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler: * * (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events, * but used by the latency tracer plugin. ) */ TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_STRUCT__entry( __array( char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, prev_pid ) __field( int, prev_prio ) __array( char, next_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, next_pid ) __field( int, next_prio ) ), TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]", __entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio, __entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio), TP_fast_assign( memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->prev_pid = prev->pid; __entry->prev_prio = prev->prio; memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->next_pid = next->pid; __entry->next_prio = next->prio; ) ); This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts: TP_PROTO: the proto type of the trace point TP_ARGS: the arguments of the trace point TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer TP_printk: the printk format TP_fast_assign: the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data from the trace file. The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function, where the __entry is the handle to the record. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: add per-event filtering This patch adds per-event filtering to the event tracing subsystem. It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each event directory. This file can be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the current set of filters set for that event. Basically, any field listed in the 'format' file for an event can be filtered on (including strings, but not yet other array types) using either matching ('==') or non-matching ('!=') 'predicates'. A 'predicate' can be either a single expression: # echo pid != 0 > filter # cat filter pid != 0 or a compound expression of up to 8 sub-expressions combined using '&&' or '||': # echo comm == Xorg > filter # echo "&& sig != 29" > filter # cat filter comm == Xorg && sig != 29 Only events having field values matching an expression will be available in the trace output; non-matching events are discarded. Note that a compound expression is built up by echoing each sub-expression separately - it's not the most efficient way to do things, but it keeps the parser simple and assumes that compound expressions will be relatively uncommon. In any case, a subsequent patch introducing a way to set filters for entire subsystems should mitigate any need to do this for lots of events. Setting a filter without an '&&' or '||' clears the previous filter completely and sets the filter to the new expression: # cat filter comm == Xorg && sig != 29 # echo comm != Xorg # cat filter comm != Xorg To clear a filter, echo 0 to the filter file: # echo 0 > filter # cat filter none The limit of 8 predicates for a compound expression is arbitrary - for efficiency, it's implemented as an array of pointers to predicates, and 8 seemed more than enough for any filter...

tracing/filters: allow on-the-fly filter switching This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of previous versions. It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization. Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're currently using. In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none() functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new filter. In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*. In that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_* function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds. So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with that, IMHO. The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start. They could probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another one to do that later on. Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events, currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

tracing: add per-event filtering This patch adds per-event filtering to the event tracing subsystem. It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each event directory. This file can be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the current set of filters set for that event. Basically, any field listed in the 'format' file for an event can be filtered on (including strings, but not yet other array types) using either matching ('==') or non-matching ('!=') 'predicates'. A 'predicate' can be either a single expression: # echo pid != 0 > filter # cat filter pid != 0 or a compound expression of up to 8 sub-expressions combined using '&&' or '||': # echo comm == Xorg > filter # echo "&& sig != 29" > filter # cat filter comm == Xorg && sig != 29 Only events having field values matching an expression will be available in the trace output; non-matching events are discarded. Note that a compound expression is built up by echoing each sub-expression separately - it's not the most efficient way to do things, but it keeps the parser simple and assumes that compound expressions will be relatively uncommon. In any case, a subsequent patch introducing a way to set filters for entire subsystems should mitigate any need to do this for lots of events. Setting a filter without an '&&' or '||' clears the previous filter completely and sets the filter to the new expression: # cat filter comm == Xorg && sig != 29 # echo comm != Xorg # cat filter comm != Xorg To clear a filter, echo 0 to the filter file: # echo 0 > filter # cat filter none The limit of 8 predicates for a compound expression is arbitrary - for efficiency, it's implemented as an array of pointers to predicates, and 8 seemed more than enough for any filter...

tracing/filters: allow on-the-fly filter switching This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of previous versions. It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization. Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're currently using. In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none() functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new filter. In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*. In that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_* function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds. So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with that, IMHO. The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start. They could probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another one to do that later on. Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events, currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT. It also hooks up all the tracers that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism. When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were - I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file bug reports. ;-) One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output from the events without filters on them can make it look like the filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing. The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g. cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file. If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before they disappear.
