Steven Rostedt 0429578016 tracing/events: Show real number in array fields
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.

Frederic Weisbecker 53cf810b19 tracing: Allow syscall trace events for non privileged users
As for the raw syscalls events, individual syscall events won't
leak system wide information on task bound tracing. Allow non

Frederic Weisbecker 1ed0c59711 tracing: New macro to set up initial event flags value
This introduces the new TRACE_EVENT_FLAGS() macro in order
to set up initial event flags value.

This macro must simply follow the definition of a trace event
and take the event name and the flag value as parameters:

TRACE_EVENT(my_event, .....
....
);

TRACE_EVENT_FLAGS(my_event, 1)

This will set up 1 as the initial my_event->flags value.

Lai Jiangshan bc289ae98b tracing: Reduce latency and remove percpu trace_seq
__print_flags() and __print_symbolic() use percpu trace_seq:

1) Its memory is allocated at compile time, it wastes memory if we don't use tracing.
2) It is percpu data and it wastes more memory for multi-cpus system.
3) It disables preemption when it executes its core routine
   "trace_seq_printf(s, "%s: ", #call);" and introduces latency.

So we move this trace_seq to struct trace_iterator.

Steven Rostedt a1d0ce8213 tracing: Use class->reg() for all registering of events
Because kprobes and syscalls need special processing to register
events, the class->reg() method was created to handle the differences.

But instead of creating a default ->reg for perf and ftrace events,
the code was scattered with:

	if (class->reg)
		class->reg();
	else
		default_reg();

This is messy and can also lead to bugs.

This patch cleans up this code and creates a default reg() entry for
the events allowing for the code to directly call the class->reg()
without the condition.

Drop this argument now that we always want to rewind only to the

It means frame pointers are not necessary anymore to reliably get
the source of an event. But this also means we need this helper
to be a macro now, as an inline function is not an option since
we need to know when to provide a default implentation.

Steven Rostedt 49c177461b tracing: Add __used annotation to event variable
The TRACE_EVENT() macros automate creation of trace events. To automate
initialization, the set up variables are loaded in a special section
that is read on boot up. GCC is not aware that these static variables
are used and will complain about them if we do not inform GCC that
they are indeed used.

One of the declarations of the event element was missing a __used
annotation. This patch adds it.

Steven Rostedt 32c0edaeaa tracing: Remove duplicate id information in event structure
Now that the trace_event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call
structure, there is no need for the ftrace_event_call id field.
The id field is the same as the trace_event type field.

Removing the id and re-arranging the structure brings down the tracepoint
footprint by another 5K.

Steven Rostedt 80decc70af tracing: Move print functions into event class
Currently, every event has its own trace_event structure. This is
fine since the structure is needed anyway. But the print function
structure (trace_event_functions) is now separate. Since the output
of the trace event is done by the class (with the exception of events
defined by DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT), it makes sense to have the class
define the print functions that all events in the class can use.

This makes a bigger deal with the syscall events since all syscall events
use the same class. The savings here is another 30K.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig

4895024	1023812	 861512	6780348	 6775bc	vmlinux.print

To accomplish this, and to let the class know what event is being
printed, the event structure is embedded in the ftrace_event_call
structure. This should not be an issues since the event structure
was created for each event anyway.

Steven Rostedt a9a5776380 tracing: Allow events to share their print functions
Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
that will hold the way to print ouf the event.

The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
function know what kind of event it should print.

This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
their output.

Steven Rostedt 0405ab80aa tracing: Move raw_init from events to class
The raw_init function pointer in the event is used to initialize
various kinds of events. The type of initialization needed is usually
classed to the kind of event it is.

Two events with the same class will always have the same initialization
function, so it makes sense to move this to the class structure.

Perhaps even making a special system structure would work since
the initialization is the same for all events within a system.
But since there's no system structure (yet), this will just move it
to the class.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig

4900382	1048964	 861512	6810858	 67ecea	vmlinux.init

The text grew very slightly, but this is a constant growth that happened
with the changing of the C files that call the init code.
The bigger savings is the data which will be saved the more events share
a class.

Steven Rostedt 2e33af0295 tracing: Move fields from event to class structure
Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure.
Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong
to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead
of the individual events. The events of the same class would just
hold duplicate information.

After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4900252	1057412	 861512	6819176	 680d68	vmlinux.regs
4900375	1053380	 861512	6815267	 67fe23	vmlinux.fields

Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files
having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where
new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is
in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields).
This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created.

Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()
with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But
we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT()
so this should not be an issue.

The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic
so it should not be a issue.

The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual
events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the
fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and
added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used
to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just
returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall
events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event.

v2:  Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list
     of fields for both enter and exit.

Steven Rostedt 2239291aeb tracing: Remove per event trace registering
This patch removes the register functions of TRACE_EVENT() to enable
and disable tracepoints. The registering of a event is now down
directly in the trace_events.c file. The tracepoint_probe_register()
is now called directly.

The prototypes are no longer type checked, but this should not be
an issue since the tracepoints are created automatically by the
macros. If a prototype is incorrect in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, then
other macros will catch it.

The trace_event_class structure now holds the probes to be called
by the callbacks. This removes needing to have each event have
a separate pointer for the probe.

To handle kprobes and syscalls, since they register probes in a
different manner, a "reg" field is added to the ftrace_event_class
structure. If the "reg" field is assigned, then it will be called for
enabling and disabling of the probe for either ftrace or perf. To let
the reg function know what is happening, a new enum (trace_reg) is
created that has the type of control that is needed.

With this new rework, the 82 kernel events and 618 syscall events
has their footprint dramatically lowered:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class
4918492	1084612	 861512	6864616	 68bee8	vmlinux.tracepoint
4900252	1057412	 861512	6819176	 680d68	vmlinux.regs

The size went from 6863829 to 6819176, that's a total of 44K
in savings. With tracepoints being continuously added, this is
critical that the footprint becomes minimal.

v5: Added #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS around a reference to perf
    specific structure in trace_events.c.

v4: Fixed trace self tests to check probe because regfunc no longer
    exists.

v3: Updated to handle void *data in beginning of probe parameters.
    Also added the tracepoint: check_trace_callback_type_##call().

v2: Changed the callback probes to pass void * and typecast the
    value within the function.

This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.

The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
parameter. For example:

DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)

Will create the register function:

int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
                                void *data);

As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:

void myprobe(void *data, int value)
{
}

The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.

This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
with the function probe.

	void mycallback(void *data, int value);

	register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);

Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
before the args.

A more detailed example:

  DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

  /* In the C file */

  DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

  [...]

       trace_mytracepoint(status);

  /* In a file registering this tracepoint */

  int my_callback(void *data, int status)
  {
	struct my_struct my_data = data;
	[...]
  }

  [...]
	my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
	init_my_data(my_data);
	register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);

The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:

	unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);

Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:

  DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());

will cause an error.

If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:

  DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);

Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.

This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class
4918492	1084612	 861512	6864616	 68bee8	vmlinux.tracepoint

Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.

 v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.

 v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
     #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
     cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
     Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.

 v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
     all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
     This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.

     Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().

 v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
     and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
     do not need any arguments.

Steven Rostedt 8f08201830 tracing: Create class struct for events
This patch creates a ftrace_event_class struct that event structs point to.
This class struct will be made to hold information to modify the
events. Currently the class struct only holds the events system name.

This patch slightly increases the size, but this change lays the ground work
of other changes to make the footprint of tracepoints smaller.

With 82 standard tracepoints, and 618 system call tracepoints
(two tracepoints per syscall: enter and exit):

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class

This patch also cleans up some stale comments in ftrace.h.

v2: Fixed missing semi-colon in macro.

Frederic Weisbecker 6cc8a7c1d8 perf: Fetch hot regs from the template caller
Trace events can be defined from a template using
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS/DEFINE_EVENT or directly with TRACE_EVENT.

In both cases we have a template tracepoint handler, used to
record the trace, to which we pass our ftrace event instance.

In the function level, if the class is named "foo" and the event
is named "blah", we have the following chain of calls:

perf_trace_blah() -> perf_trace_templ_foo()

In the case we have several events sharing the class "blah",
we'll have multiple users of perf_trace_templ_foo(), and it
won't be inlined by the compiler. This is usually what happens
with the DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS/DEFINE_EVENT based definition.

But if perf_trace_blah() is the only caller of perf_trace_templ_foo()
there are fair chances that it will be inlined.

The problem is that we fetch the regs from perf_trace_templ_foo()
after we rewinded the frame pointer to the second caller, we want
to reach the caller of perf_trace_blah() to get the right source
of the event. And we do this by always assuming that
perf_trace_templ_foo() is not inlined. But as shown above this
is not always true. And if it is inlined we miss the first caller,
losing the most important level of precision.

We get:
	    61.31%       ls  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] do_softirq
                         |
                         --- do_softirq
                             irq_exit
                             do_IRQ
                             common_interrupt
                            |
                            |--25.00%-- tty_buffer_request_room

Instead of:
	    61.31%       ls  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] __do_softirq
                         |
                         --- __do_softirq
                             do_softirq
                             irq_exit
                             do_IRQ
                             common_interrupt
                            |
                            |--25.00%-- tty_buffer_request_room

To fix this, we fetch the regs from perf_trace_blah() rather than
perf_trace_templ_foo() so that we don't have to deal with inlining
surprises.

That also bring us the advantage of having the true source of the
event even if we don't have frame pointers.

Frederic Weisbecker c530665c31 perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace events
We are taking a wrong regs snapshot when a trace event triggers.
Either we use get_irq_regs(), which gives us the interrupted
registers if we are in an interrupt, or we use task_pt_regs()
which gives us the state before we entered the kernel, assuming
we are lucky enough to be no kernel thread, in which case
task_pt_regs() returns the initial set of regs when the kernel
thread was started.

What we want is different. We need a hot snapshot of the regs,
so that we can get the instruction pointer to record in the
sample, the frame pointer for the callchain, and some other
things.

Let's use the new perf_fetch_caller_regs() for that.

Comparison with perf record -e lock: -R -a -f -g
Before:

        perf  [kernel]                   [k] __do_softirq
               |
               --- __do_softirq
                  |
                  |--55.16%-- __open
                  |
                   --44.84%-- __write_nocancel

After:

            perf  [kernel]           [k] perf_tp_event
               |
               --- perf_tp_event
                  |
                  |--41.07%-- lock_acquire
                  |          |
                  |          |--39.36%-- _raw_spin_lock
                  |          |          |
                  |          |          |--7.81%-- hrtimer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          smp_apic_timer_interrupt
                  |          |          |          apic_timer_interrupt

The old case was producing unreliable callchains. Now having
right frame and instruction pointers, we have the trace we
want.

Also syscalls and kprobe events already have the right regs,
let's use them instead of wasting a retrieval.

v2: Follow the rename perf_save_regs() -> perf_fetch_caller_regs()

Jeff Mahoney 86c38a31aa tracing: Fix ftrace_event_call alignment for use with gcc 4.5
GCC 4.5 introduces behavior that forces the alignment of structures to
 use the largest possible value. The default value is 32 bytes, so if
 some structures are defined with a 4-byte alignment and others aren't
 declared with an alignment constraint at all - it will align at 32-bytes.

 For things like the ftrace events, this results in a non-standard array.
 When initializing the ftrace subsystem, we traverse the _ftrace_events
 section and call the initialization callback for each event. When the
 structures are misaligned, we could be treating another part of the
 structure (or the zeroed out space between them) as a function pointer.

 This patch forces the alignment for all the ftrace_event_call structures
 to 4 bytes.

 Without this patch, the kernel fails to boot very early when built with
 gcc 4.5.

 It's trivial to check the alignment of the members of the array, so it
 might be worthwhile to add something to the build system to do that
 automatically. Unfortunately, that only covers this case. I've asked one
 of the gcc developers about adding a warning when this condition is seen.

The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set
compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set.

This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data.

The total savings of 24k in size.

Li Zefan 3b8e427381 tracing: Move a printk out of ftrace_raw_reg_event_foo()
Move the printk from each ftrace_raw_reg_event_foo() to
its caller ftrace_event_enable_disable(). This avoids each
regfunc trace event callbacks to handle a same error report
that can be carried from the caller.

See how much space this saves:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5345151 1961864 7103260 14410275         dbe223 vmlinux.o.old

Li Zefan 614a71a26b tracing: Pull up calls to trace_define_common_fields()
Call trace_define_common_fields() in event_create_dir() only.
This avoids trace events to handle it from their define_fields
callbacks and shrinks the kernel code size:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5346802 1961864 7103260 14411926         dbe896 vmlinux.o.old

Li Zefan 87d9b4e1c5 tracing: Extract duplicate ftrace_raw_init_event_foo()
Use a generic trace_event_raw_init() function for all event's raw_init
callbacks (but kprobes) instead of defining the same version for each
of these.
This shrinks the kernel code:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
5355293 1961928 7103260 14420481         dc0a01 vmlinux.o.old
5346802 1961864 7103260 14411926         dbe896 vmlinux.o

raw_init can't be removed, because ftrace events and kprobe events
use different raw_init callbacks. Though it's possible to totally
remove raw_init, I choose to leave it as it is for now.

Ingo Molnar 091ad3658e events: Rename TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE() to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()
It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template?

To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows
the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel:

  DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class)

    DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1)
    DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2)
    DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3)

To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to:

  DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event)

... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.
