2020-03-04tracing: Have hwlat ts be first instance and record count of instancesSteven Rostedt (VMware)1-10/+22
The hwlat tracer runs a loop of width time during a given window. It then reports the max latency over a given threshold and records a timestamp. But this timestamp is the time after the width has finished, and not the time it actually triggered. Record the actual time when the latency was greater than the threshold as well as the number of times it was greater in a given width per window.

2020-02-13PM: QoS: Simplify definitions of CPU latency QoS trace eventsRafael J. Wysocki1-9/+10
Modify the definitions of the CPU latency QoS trace events to take one argument (since PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY is always passed as the pm_qos_class argument to them) and update the documentation of them accordingly (while at it, make it explicitly mention CPU latency QoS and relocate it after the device PM QoS trace events documentation). The names and output format of the trace events do not change to preserve user space compatibility. No intentional functional impact. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New tracing features: - New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a function. As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops with PREMANENT flag set from being registered. - New register_ftrace_direct(). As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to allow for security auditing. - Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances. Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other users from writing over their data. - New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their seq_buf usage. - Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency tracers. - Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch and friends. - More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16) - Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the system call trace events.

2019-11-04ftrace: Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flagMiroslav Benes2-1/+11
Livepatch uses ftrace for redirection to new patched functions. It means that if ftrace is disabled, all live patched functions are disabled as well. Toggling global 'ftrace_enabled' sysctl thus affect it directly. It is not a problem per se, because only administrator can set sysctl values, but it still may be surprising. Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flag to amend this. If the FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT is set on any ftrace ops, the tracing cannot be disabled by disabling ftrace_enabled. Equally, a callback with the flag set cannot be registered if ftrace_enabled is disabled.

2019-08-31tracing/probe: Add immediate parameter supportMasami Hiramatsu2-0/+2
Add immediate value parameter (\1234) support to probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate (or dummy) parameter instead of fetching from memory or register. This feature looks odd, but imagine when you put a probe on a code to trace some data. If the code is compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a value but other has nothing since it is optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on one event. With this feature, you can set a dummy value like foo=\deadbeef instead of something like foo=%di.

2019-05-26tracing/probe: Support user-space dereferenceMasami Hiramatsu2-9/+28
Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space. The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value. +|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>) e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si)) For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy, param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new probe as below; p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3) Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the dereference method automatically because we do not know whether the given address is in userspace or kernel on some archs. So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to carefully choose the dereference method.

Add "ustring" type for fetching user-space string from kprobe event. User can specify ustring type at uprobe event, and it is same as "string" for uprobe. Note that probe-event provides this option but it doesn't choose the correct type automatically since we have not way to decide the address is in user-space or not on some arch (and on some other arch, you can fetch the string by "string" type). So user must carefully check the target code (e.g. if you see __user on the target variable) and use this new type.

2019-05-14mm: move recent_rotated pages calculation to shrink_inactive_list()Kirill Tkhai1-3/+4
Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"] putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function. This patch (of 4): The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more similar to move_active_pages_to_lru(). To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate. Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array. Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).
