Mathieu Desnoyers de7b297390 tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints
Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer
rather than tracepoint name.

This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by
Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux
size.

From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer
to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a
tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for
unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated
tracepoint is unloaded.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) bc4c426ee2 Revert "tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function"
I originally wrote commit 35bb4399bd to shrink the size of the overhead of
tracepoints by several kilobytes. Later, I received a patch from Vaibhav
Nagarnaik that fixed a bug in the same code that this commit touches. Not
only did it fix a bug, it also removed code and shrunk the size of the
overhead of trace events even more than this commit did.

Since this commit is scheduled for 3.15 and Vaibhav's patch is already in
mainline, I need to revert this patch in order to keep it from conflicting
with Vaibhav's patch. Not to mention, Vaibhav's patch makes this patch
obsolete.

Steven Rostedt 35bb4399bd tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function
The code that shows array fields for events is defined for all events.
This can add up quite a bit when you have over 500 events.

By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work
instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit.

With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
12990946        1913568 9785344 24689858        178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux
12987390        1913504 9785344 24686238        178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux.patched

That's a total of 3556 bytes, which comes down to 7 bytes per event.
Although it's not much, this code is just called at initialization of
the events.

Steven Rostedt 1d6bae966e tracing: Move raw output code from macro to standalone function
The code for trace events to format the raw recorded event data
into human readable format in the 'trace' file is repeated for every
event in the system. When you have over 500 events, this can add up
quite a bit.

By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work
instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit.

With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

12990946        1913568 9785344 24689858        178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux.patched

Note, this version does not save as much as the version of this patch
I had a few years ago. That is because in the mean time, commit
f71130de5c ("tracing: Add a helper function for event print functions")
did a lot of the work my original patch did. But this change helps
slightly, and is part of a larger clean up to reduce the size much further.

Linus Torvalds 9e8529afc4 Tracing updates for Linux 3.10
Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
 changes with this pull request.
 
 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
 
 This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
 I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
 had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
 instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
 buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
 of a high frequency event.
 
 Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
 (ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
 be written to the main buffer.
 
 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
 
 The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
 function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
 stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
 buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
 an event to be traced when a function is hit.
 
 3) A perf clock has been added.
 
 A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
 ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
 it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 09ae72348e tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracing
The trace_printk() is extremely fast and is very handy as it can be
used in any context (including NMIs!). But it still requires scanning
the fmt string for parsing the args. Even the trace_bprintk() requires
a scan to know what args will be saved, although it doesn't copy the
format string itself.

Several times trace_printk() has no args, and wastes cpu cycles scanning
the fmt string.

Adding trace_puts() allows the developer to use an even faster
tracing method that only saves the pointer to the string in the
ring buffer without doing any format parsing at all. This will
help remove even more of the "Heisenbug" effect, when debugging.

Also fixed up the F_printk()s for the ftrace internal bprint and print events.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 12883efb67 tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure
Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works
is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the
snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used
to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max
latency.

The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer
itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states
when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency
was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the
max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat.

This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure
called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data
pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred.

The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and
one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove
the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use
their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have
the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

Sasha Levin b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Steven Rostedt 7374e82771 tracing: Register the ftrace internal events during early boot
All trace events including ftrace internel events (like trace_printk
and function tracing), register functions that describe how to print
their output. The events may be recorded as soon as the ring buffer
is allocated, but they are just raw binary in the buffer. The mapping
of event ids to how to print them are held within a structure that
is registered on system boot.

If a crash happens in boot up before these functions are registered
then their output (via ftrace_dump_on_oops) will be useless:

Dumping ftrace buffer:
---------------------------------
   <...>-1       0.... 319705us : Unknown type 6
---------------------------------

This can be quite frustrating for a kernel developer trying to see
what is going wrong.

There's no reason to register them so late in the boot up process.
They can be registered by early_initcall().

Steven Rostedt db4c75cbeb tracing: Fix stacktrace of latency tracers (irqsoff and friends)
While debugging a latency with someone on IRC (mirage335) on #linux-rt (OFTC),
we discovered that the stacktrace output of the latency tracers
(preemptirqsoff) was empty.

This bug was caused by the creation of the dynamic length stack trace
again (like commit 12b5da3 "tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output" was).

This bug is caused by the latency tracers requiring the next event
to determine the time between the current event and the next. But by
grabbing the next event, the iter->ent_size is set to the next event
instead of the current one. As the stacktrace event is the last event,
this makes the ent_size zero and causes nothing to be printed for
the stack trace. The dynamic stacktrace uses the ent_size to determine
how much of the stack can be printed. The ent_size of zero means
no stack.

The simple fix is to save the iter->ent_size before finding the next event.

Note, mirage335 asked to remain anonymous from LKML and git, so I will
not add the Reported-by and Tested-by tags, even though he did report
the issue and tested the fix.

Steven Rostedt 5b34926114 tracing: Don't use p->len field to determine output in __print_*() functions
If more than one __print_*() function is used in a tracepoint
(__print_flags(), __print_symbols(), etc), then the temp seq buffer will
not be zero on entry. Using the temp seq buffer's length to know if
data has been printed or not in the current function is incorrect and
may produce incorrect results.

Currently, no in-tree tracepoint causes this bug, but new ones may
be created.

Andrey Vagin e404b321db tracing: Don't print an extra separator of flags
If __print_flags() is used after another __print_*() function, the
temp seq_file buffer will not be empty on entry, and the delimiter will
be printed even though there's just one field. We get something like:

	|S

instead of just:

	S

This is because the length of the temp seq buffer is used to determine
if the delimiter is printed or not. But this algorithm fails when
the seq buffer is not empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed
because it thinks that a previous field was already printed.

Steven Rostedt 77271ce4b2 tracing: Add irq, preempt-count and need resched info to default trace output
People keep asking how to get the preempt count, irq, and need resched info
and we keep telling them to enable the latency format. Some developers think
that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks
it is useless.

The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but
the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and
it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace
started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is
seconds from the start of boot up.

Latency format:

 # tracer: nop
 #
 # nop latency trace v1.1.5 on 3.2.0-rc1-test+
 # --------------------------------------------------------------------
 # latency: 0 us, #159771/64234230, CPU#1 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4)

      migration/0-6     [000]    50.025820: debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled <-__schedule

The latency format header has latency information that is pretty meaningless
for most tracers. Although some of the header is useful, and we can add that
later to the default format as well.

What is really useful with the latency format is the irqs-off, need-resched
hard/softirq context and the preempt count.

This commit adds the option irq-info which is on by default that adds this
information:

 # tracer: nop

           <idle>-0     [000] d..2    49.309315: need_resched <-mwait_idle

If a user wants the old format, they can disable the 'irq-info' option:

Steven Rostedt 4a9bd3f134 tracing: Have dynamic size event stack traces
Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames.
This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when
the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for
the event processing itself.

Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can
write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer.

For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being
process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough
as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway.

Jiri Olsa ee5e51f51b tracing: Avoid soft lockup in trace_pipe
running following commands:

  # enable the binary option
  echo 1 > ./options/bin
  # disable context info option
  echo 0 > ./options/context-info
  # tracing only events
  echo 1 > ./events/enable
  cat trace_pipe

plus forcing system to generate many tracing events,
is causing lockup (in NON preemptive kernels) inside
tracing_read_pipe function.

The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test.
(ftrace_stress_test.sh)

The reasons are:
 - bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to
   trace_nop_print function, which prints nothing and
   returns TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED value
 - LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow

These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe
function never to break.

The attached patch fixies handling of lost event trace, and
changes trace_nop_print to print minimal info, which is needed
for the correct tracing_read_pipe processing.

v2 changes:
 - omit the cond_resched changes by trace_nop_print changes
 - WARN changed to WARN_ONCE and added info to be able
   to find out the culprit

v3 changes:
 - make more accurate patch comment

__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 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.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename

This change slightly increases the size but is needed for the next change.

Johannes Berg d184b31c0e tracing: Add full state to trace_seq
The trace_seq buffer might fill up, and right now one needs to check the
return value of each printf into the buffer to check for that.

Instead, have the buffer keep track of whether it is full or not, and
reject more input if it is full or would have overflowed with an input
that wasn't added.

Steven Rostedt a63ce5b306 tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled buffer
If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next
itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the
function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to
determine leaf functions.

What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function
graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return
of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the
function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer
iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start
entry).

The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the
seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry.
The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start
which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry).
But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph
plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf.

To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the
seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer
fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset
the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover
flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not
call into the plugin print functions.

Jiri Olsa 3e69533b51 tracing: Fix trace_seq_printf() return value
trace_seq_printf() return value is a little ambiguous. It
currently returns the length of the space available in the
buffer. printf usually returns the amount written. This is not
adequate here, because:

  trace_seq_printf(s, "");

is perfectly legal, and returning 0 would indicate that it
failed.

We can always see the amount written by looking at the before
and after values of s->len. This is not quite the same use as
printf. We only care if the string was successfully written to
the buffer or not.

Make trace_seq_printf() return 0 if the trace oversizes the
buffer's free space, 1 otherwise.

Hiroshi Shimamoto b0f56f1a63 trace: Fix missing assignment in trace_ctxwake_*
The state char variable S should be reassigned, if S == 0.

We are missing the state of the task that is going to sleep for the
context switch events (in the raw mode).

Fortunately the problem arises with the sched_switch/wake_up
tracers, not the sched trace events.

The formers are legacy now. But still, that was buggy.

Xiao Guangrong e1af3aec3e tracing: Fix trace_print_seq()
We will lose something if trace_seq->buffer[0] is 0, because the copy length
is calculated by strlen() in seq_puts(), so using seq_write() instead of
seq_puts().

There have a example:
after reboot:

 # echo kmemtrace > current_tracer
 # echo 0 > options/kmem_minimalistic
 # cat trace
 # tracer: kmemtrace
 #
 #

Nothing is exported, because the first byte of trace_seq->buffer[ ]
is KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC.

( the value of KMEMTRACE_USER_ALLOC is zero, seeing
  kmemtrace_print_alloc_user() in kernel/trace/kmemtrace.c)

Steven Rostedt 563af16c30 tracing: add annotation to what type of stack trace is recorded
The current method of printing out a stack trace is to add a new line
and print out the trace:

    yum-updatesd-3120  [002]   573.691303:
 => do_softirq
 => irq_exit
 => smp_apic_timer_interrupt
 => apic_timer_interrupt

This looks a bit awkward, and if we have both stack and user stack traces
running, it would be nice to have a title to tell them apart, although
it is easy to tell by the output.

This patch adds an annotation to the start of the stack traces:

            init-1     [003]   929.304979: <stack trace>
 => user_path_at
 => vfs_fstatat
 => vfs_stat

walimis f11b3f4e29 tracing/events: fix output format of kernel stack
According to "events/ftrace/kernel_stack/format", output format of
kernel stack should use "=>" instead of "<=".

The second problem is that we shouldn't skip the first entry in the stack,
although it seems to be duplicated when used in the "function" tracer,
but events also use it. If we skip the first one, we will drop the topmost
entry of the stack.

The last problem is that if the last entry is ULONG_MAX(0xffffffff), we should
drop it, otherwise it will print a NULL name line.
