tracing: Don't call page_to_pfn() if page is NULL

2014-02-10T21:11:07+00:00

commit 85f2a2ef1d0ab99523e0b947a2b723f5650ed6aa upstream. When allocating memory fails, page is NULL. page_to_pfn() will cause the kernel panicked if we don't use sparsemem vmemmap.

tracing: Fix timer tracing

2010-08-26T23:44:11+00:00

commit ede1b4290781ae82ccf0f2ecc6dada8d3dd35779 upstream. PowerTOP would like to be able to trace timers. Unfortunately, the current timer tracing is not very useful: the actual timer function is not recorded in the trace at the start of timer execution. Although this is recorded for timer "start" time (when it gets armed), this is not useful; most timers get started early, and a tracer like PowerTOP will never see this event, but will only see the actual running of the timer. This patch just adds the function to the timer tracing; I've verified with PowerTOP that now it can get useful information about timers.

tracing: Fix null pointer deref with SEND_SIG_FORCED

2010-07-05T18:22:52+00:00

commit b9b76dfaac6fa2c289ee8a005be637afd2da7e2f upstream. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000006 IP: [] ftrace_raw_event_signal_generate+0x87/0x140 TP_STORE_SIGINFO() forgets about SEND_SIG_FORCED, fix. We should probably export is_si_special() and change TP_STORE_SIGINFO() to use it in the longer term.

perf: Take a hot regs snapshot for trace events

2010-03-10T13:40:38+00:00

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() Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: H.
