2012-11-14tracing,x86: Add a TSC trace_clockDavid Sharp33-0/+88
In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace, add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously interlaced. Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large timestamp values. v2: Move arch-specific bits out of generic code. v3: Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups v7: Generic arch bits in Kbuild.

2012-11-02tracing: Add trace_options kernel command line parameterSteven Rostedt2-15/+55
Add trace_options to the kernel command line parameter to be able to set options at early boot. For example, to enable stack dumps of events, add the following: trace_options=stacktrace This along with the trace_event option, you can get not only traces of the events but also the stack dumps with them.

2012-11-02tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functionsSteven Rostedt9-73/+84
Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location). With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed. Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-11-02tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled fileSteven Rostedt1-3/+0
The tracing_enabled file was used as a quick way to stop tracers, and try to bring down overhead for things like the latency tracers (irqsoff, wakeup, etc). But it didn't work that well. The tracing_on file was created as a really fast way to stop recording into the ftrace ring buffer and can interact with the kernel. That is a tracing_off() call in the kernel can disable recording of events, and then from userspace one could echo 1 into the tracing_on file to continue it. The tracing_enabled function did too much to allow for this. The tracing_on has taken over as a way to start and stop tracing and the tracing_enabled file should not be used. But because of its existance, it still confuses people. Over a year ago the following commit was added: commit 6752ab4a9c30d5411b2dfdb251a3f1cb18aae487 Author: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Date: Tue Feb 8 13:54:06 2011 -0500 tracing: Deprecate tracing_enabled for tracing_on This commit added a WARN_ON() if the tracing_enabled file's variable was changed. After this was added, only LatencyTop complained, and they soon fixed their tool as there was no reason that LatencyTop should touch this file as it was using the perf ring buffers which this file does not interact with. But since that time no one else has complained about this WARN_ON(). Thus it is safe to assume that this file is no longer needed. Time to get rid of it.

2012-11-02tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_onSteven Rostedt2-86/+5
The tracing_enabled file has been deprecated as it never was able to serve its purpose well. The tracing_on file has taken over. Instead of having code to keep tracing_enabled, have the tracing_enabled file just set tracing_on, and remove the tracing_enabled variable. This allows us to remove the tracing_enabled file. The reason that the remove is in a different change set and not removed here is in case we find some lonely userspace tool that requires the file to exist. Then the removal patch will get reverted, but this one will not.

2012-11-02tracing: Remove unused function unregister_tracer()Steven Rostedt2-27/+0
The function register_tracer() is only used by kernel core code, that never needs to remove the tracer. As trace_events have become the main way to add new tracing to the kernel, the need to unregister a tracer has diminished. Remove the unused function unregister_tracer(). If a need arises where we need it, then we can always add it back. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2012-11-02tracing: Separate open function from set_event and available_eventsSteven Rostedt1-19/+27
The open function used by available_events is the same as set_event even though it uses different seq functions. This causes a side effect of writing into available_events clearing all events, even though available_events is suppose to be read only. There's no reason to keep a single function for just the open and have both use different functions for everything else. It is a little confusing and causes strange behavior. Just have each have their own function. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2012-11-01tracing: Cache comms only after an event occurredSteven Rostedt4-11/+33
Whenever an event is registered, the comm of tasks are saved at every task switch instead of saving them at every event. But if an event isn't executed much, the comm cache will be filled up by tasks that did not record the event and you lose out on the comms that did. Here's an example, if you enable the following events: echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/kvm/kvm_cr/enable echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable Note, there's no kvm running on this machine so the first event will never be triggered, but because it is enabled, the storing of comms will continue. If we now disable the network event: echo 0 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable and look at the trace: cat /debug/tracing/trace sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.731616: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.731617: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.859356: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.859357: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.947351: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.947352: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 376.035383: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 376.035383: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 377.563806: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=226 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 377.563807: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=226 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 377.563834: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6be0 len=114 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 377.563842: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6be0 len=114 rc=0 We see that process 2672 which triggered the events has the comm "sshd".

2012-11-01tracing: Expand ring buffer when trace_printk() is usedSteven Rostedt1-0/+7
Since tracing is not used by 99% of Linux users, even though tracing may be configured in, it does not make sense to allocate 1.4 Megs per CPU for the ring buffers if they are not used. Thus, on boot up the ring buffers are set to a minimal size until something needs the and they are expanded. This works well for events and tracers (function, etc), but for the asynchronous use of trace_printk() which can write to the ring buffer at any time, does not expand the buffers. On boot up a check is made to see if any trace_printk() is used to see if the trace_printk() temp buffer pages should be allocated. This same code can be used to expand the buffers as well.

The existing 'overrun' counter is incremented when the ring buffer wraps around, with overflow on (the default). We wanted a way to count requests lost from the buffer filling up with overflow off, too. I decided to add a new counter instead of retro-fitting the existing one because it seems like a different statistic to count conceptually, and also because of how the code was structured.

2012-11-01tracing: Allow tracers to start at core initcallSteven Rostedt6-8/+7
There's times during debugging that it is helpful to see traces of early boot functions. But the tracers are initialized at device_initcall() which is quite late during the boot process. Setting the kernel command line parameter ftrace=function will not show anything until the function tracer is initialized. This prevents being able to trace functions before device_initcall(). There's no reason that the tracers need to be initialized so late in the boot process. Move them up to core_initcall() as they still need to come after early_initcall() which initializes the tracing buffers.

2012-10-29perf tools: Add a global variable "const char *input_name"Feng Tang11-29/+20
Currently many perf commands annotate/evlist/report/script/lock etc all support "-i" option to chose a specific perf data, and all of them create a local "input_name" to save the file name for that perf data. Since most of these commands need it, we can add a global variable for it, also it can some other benefits: 1. When calling script browser inside hists/annotation browser, it needs to know the perf data file name to run that script. 2. For further feature like runtime switching to another perf data file, this variable can also help.

2012-10-26perf inject: Merge sched_stat_* and sched_switch eventsAndrew Vagin2-3/+144
You may want to know where and how long a task is sleeping. A callchain may be found in sched_switch and a time slice in stat_iowait, so I add handler in perf inject for merging this events. My code saves sched_switch event for each process and when it meets stat_iowait, it reports the sched_switch event, because this event contains a correct callchain. By another words it replaces all stat_iowait events on proper sched_switch events. I use the next sequence of commands for testing: perf record -e sched:sched_stat_sleep -e sched:sched_switch \ -e sched:sched_process_exit -g -o ~/perf.data.raw \ ~/test-program perf inject -v -s -i ~/perf.data.raw -o ~/perf.data perf report --stdio -i ~/perf.data 100.00% foo [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __schedule | --- __schedule schedule | |--79.75%-- schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock | schedule_hrtimeout_range | poll_schedule_timeout | do_select | core_sys_select | sys_select | system_call_fastpath | __select | __libc_start_main | --20.25%-- do_nanosleep hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep system_call_fastpath __GI___libc_nanosleep __libc_start_main And here is test-program.c: #include<unistd.h> #include<time.h> #include<sys/select.h> int main() { struct timespec ts1; struct timeval tv1; int i; long s; for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { ts1.tv_sec = 0; ts1.tv_nsec = 10000000; nanosleep(&ts1, NULL); tv1.tv_sec = 0; tv1.tv_usec = 40000; select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL,&tv1); } return 1; } Signed-off-by: Andrew Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1344344165-369636-4-git-send-email-avagin@openvz.org [ committer note: Made it use evsel->handler ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
