2009-11-25tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATESteven Rostedt3-42/+117
There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is identical. This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel when there are several duplicate events. Usage is: TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print); Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT. To create the trace events that the trace points will use: DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same, then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them. A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE: $ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.* text data bss dec hex filename 452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old 638482 38116 3744 680342 a6196 fs/xfs/xfs.o.template 996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints. xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

2009-11-23hw-breakpoints: Check the breakpoint params from perf toolsFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+10
Perf tools create perf events as disabled in the beginning. Breakpoints are then considered like ptrace temporary breakpoints, only meant to reserve a breakpoint slot until we get all the necessary informations from the user. In this case, we don't check the address that is breakpointed as it is NULL in the ptrace case. But perf tools don't have the same purpose, events are created disabled to wait for all events to be created before enabling all of them. We want to check the breakpoint parameters in this case.

2009-11-23perf_events: Restore sanity to scaling landPeter Zijlstra1-1/+6
It is quite possible to call update_event_times() on a context that isn't actually running and thereby confuse the thing. perf stat was reporting !100% scale values for software counters (2e2af50b perf_events: Disable events when we detach them, solved the worst of that, but there was still some left). The thing that happens is that because we are not self-reaping (we have a caring parent) there is a time between the last schedule (out) and having do_exit() called which will detach the events. This period would be accounted as enabled,!running because the event->state==INACTIVE, even though !event->ctx->is_active. Similar issues could have been observed by calling read() on a event while the attached task was not scheduled in. Solve this by teaching update_event_times() about ctx->is_active.

2009-11-22perf_event: Remove redundant zero fillMárton Németh1-1/+1
The buffer is first zeroed out by memset(). Then strncpy() is used to fill the content. The strncpy() function also pads the string till the end of the specified length, which is redundant. The strncpy() does not ensures that the string will be properly closed with 0. Use strlcpy() instead. The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer, str, sizeof(buffer) ); @@ expression buffer; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( &buffer, str, sizeof(buffer)); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer->field, str, sizeof(buffer->field) ); @@ expression buffer; identifier field; expression size; expression str; @@ memset(&buffer, 0, size); ... - strncpy( + strlcpy( buffer.field, str, sizeof(buffer.field)); // </smpl> On strncpy() vs strlcpy() see http://www.gratisoft.us/todd/papers/strlcpy.html .

2009-11-22tracing: Use the perf recursion protection from trace eventFrederic Weisbecker7-107/+106
When we commit a trace to perf, we first check if we are recursing in the same buffer so that we don't mess-up the buffer with a recursing trace. But later on, we do the same check from perf to avoid commit recursion. The recursion check is desired early before we touch the buffer but we want to do this check only once. Then export the recursion protection from perf and use it from the trace events before submitting a trace. v2: Put appropriate Reported-by tag Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com> Cc: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <1258864015-10579-1-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-11-21perf symbols: Fixup kernel_maps__fixup_end end mapArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-7/+10
We better call this routine after both the kernel and modules are loaded, because as it was if there weren't modules it would not be called, resulting in kernel_map->end remaining at zero, so no map would be found and consequently the kernel symtab wouldn't get loaded, i.e. no kernel symbols would be resolved. Also this fixes another case, that is when we _have_ modules, but the last map would have its ->end address not set before we loaded its symbols, which would never happen because ->end was not set.

2009-11-21perf_events: Fix default watermark calculationStephane Eranian1-1/+1
This patch fixes the default watermark value for the sampling buffer. With the existing calculation (watermark = max(PAGE_SIZE, max_size / 2)), no notification was ever received when the buffer was exactly 1 page. This was because you would never cross the threshold (there is no partial samples). In certain configuration, there was no possibilty detecting the problem because there was not enough space left to store the LOST record.In fact, there may be a more generic problem here. The kernel should ensure that there is alaways enough space to store one LOST record. This patch sets the default watermark to half the buffer size. With such limit, we are guaranteed to get a notification even with a single page buffer assuming no sample is bigger than a page.

The call was both superfluous, because __perf_event_sched_out() already does it, and wrong, because it was done without holding ctx->lock.

2009-11-21perf: Fix PERF_FORMAT_GROUP scale infoPeter Zijlstra1-31/+21
As Corey reported, the total_enabled and total_running times could occasionally be 0, even though there were events counted. It turns out this is because we record the times before reading the counter while the latter updates the times. This patch corrects that. While looking at this code I found that there is a lot of locking iffyness around, the following patches correct most of that.

We can do away with the system_state check if the machine still boots after this patch (seems to be the case).
