2016-03-09tracing: Fix check for cpu online when event is disabledSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-8/+9
Commit f37755490fe9b ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") added a check to make sure that tracepoints only get called when the cpu is online, as it uses rcu_read_lock_sched() for protection. Commit 3a630178fd5f3 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled") added lockdep checks (including rcu checks) for events that are not enabled to catch possible RCU issues that would only be triggered if a trace event was enabled. Commit f37755490fe9b only stopped the warnings when the trace event was enabled but did not prevent warnings if the trace event was called when disabled. To fix this, the cpu online check is moved to where the condition is added to the trace event. This will place the cpu online check in all places that it may be used now and in the future.

2016-02-15tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offlineSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-0/+5
The tracepoint infrastructure uses RCU sched protection to enable and disable tracepoints safely. There are some instances where tracepoints are used in infrastructure code (like kfree()) that get called after a CPU is going offline, and perhaps when it is coming back online but hasn't been registered yet. This can probuce the following warning: [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.4.0-00006-g0fe53e8-dirty #34 Tainted: G S ------------------------------- include/trace/events/kmem.h:141 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: RCU used illegally from offline CPU! rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1 no locks held by swapper/8/0. stack backtrace: CPU: 8 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/8 Tainted: G S 4.4.0-00006-g0fe53e8-dirty #34 Call Trace: [c0000005b76c78d0] [c0000000008b9540] .dump_stack+0x98/0xd4 (unreliable) [c0000005b76c7950] [c00000000010c898] .lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x108/0x170 [c0000005b76c79e0] [c00000000029adc0] .kfree+0x390/0x440 [c0000005b76c7a80] [c000000000055f74] .destroy_context+0x44/0x100 [c0000005b76c7b00] [c0000000000934a0] .__mmdrop+0x60/0x150 [c0000005b76c7b90] [c0000000000e3ff0] .idle_task_exit+0x130/0x140 [c0000005b76c7c20] [c000000000075804] .pseries_mach_cpu_die+0x64/0x310 [c0000005b76c7cd0] [c000000000043e7c] .cpu_die+0x3c/0x60 [c0000005b76c7d40] [c0000000000188d8] .arch_cpu_idle_dead+0x28/0x40 [c0000005b76c7db0] [c000000000101e6c] .cpu_startup_entry+0x50c/0x560 [c0000005b76c7ed0] [c000000000043bd8] .start_secondary+0x328/0x360 [c0000005b76c7f90] [c000000000008a6c] start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14 This warning is not a false positive either. RCU is not protecting code that is being executed while the CPU is offline. Instead of playing "whack-a-mole(TM)" and adding conditional statements to the tracepoints we find that are used in this instance, simply add a cpu_online() test to the tracepoint code where the tracepoint will be ignored if the CPU is offline. Use of raw_smp_processor_id() is fine, as there should never be a case where the tracepoint code goes from running on a CPU that is online and suddenly gets migrated to a CPU that is offline.

2015-12-08rcu: Don't redundantly disable irqs in rcu_irq_{enter,exit}()Paul E. McKenney1-2/+2
This commit replaces a local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() pair with a lockdep assertion that interrupts are already disabled. This should remove the corresponding overhead from the interrupt entry/exit fastpaths. This change was inspired by the fact that Iftekhar Ahmed's mutation testing showed that removing rcu_irq_enter()'s call to local_ird_restore() had no effect, which might indicate that interrupts were always enabled anyway.

2015-12-06tracepoints: Move struct tracepoint to new tracepoint-defs.h headerAndi Kleen1-15/+1
Steven recommended open coding access to tracepoint->key to add trace points to headers. Unfortunately this is difficult for some headers (such as x86 asm/msr.h) because including tracepoint.h includes so many other headers that it causes include loops. The main problem is the include of linux/rcupdate.h, which pulls in a lot of other headers. The rcu header is only needed when actually defining trace points. Move the struct tracepoint into a separate tracepoint-defs.h header that can be included without pulling in all of RCU.

2015-10-26tracepoint: Give priority to probes of tracepointsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-0/+13
In order to guarantee that a probe will be called before other probes that are attached to a tracepoint, there needs to be a mechanism to provide priority of one probe over the others. Adding a prio field to the struct tracepoint_func, which lets the probes be sorted by the priority set in the structure. If no priority is specified, then a priority of 10 is given (this is a macro, and perhaps may be changed in the future). Now probes may be added to affect other probes that are attached to a tracepoint with a guaranteed order. One use case would be to allow tracing of tracepoints be able to filter by pid. A special (higher priority probe) may be added to the sched_switch tracepoint and set the necessary flags of the other tracepoints to notify them if they should be traced or not. In case a tracepoint is enabled at the sched_switch tracepoint too, the order of the two are not random.

2015-04-08tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their valuesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-0/+8
Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or __print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not have access to what the ENUM is. For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would not be able to map it. With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values: By adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format [...] __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" }) The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to be modified to parse them.

2015-02-08tracing: Add condition check to RCU lockdep checksSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-1/+1
The trace_tlb_flush() tracepoint can be called when a CPU is going offline. When a CPU is offline, RCU is no longer watching that CPU and since the tracepoint is protected by RCU, it must not be called. To prevent the tlb_flush tracepoint from being called when the CPU is offline, it was converted to a TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION where the condition checks if the CPU is online before calling the tracepoint. Unfortunately, this was not enough to stop lockdep from complaining about it. Even though the RCU protected code of the tracepoint will never be called, the condition is hidden within the tracepoint, and even though the condition prevents RCU code from being called, the lockdep checks are outside the tracepoint (this is to test tracepoints even when they are not enabled). Even though tracepoints should be checked to be RCU safe when they are not enabled, the condition should still be considered when checking RCU.

2014-09-10tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabledDave Hansen1-0/+11
Dave Jones reported seeing a bug from one of my TLB tracepoints: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140806181801.GA4605@redhat.com I've been running these patches for months and never saw this. But, a big chunk of my testing, especially with all the debugging enabled, was in a vm where intel_idle doesn't work. On the systems where I was using intel_idle, I never had lockdep enabled and this tracepoint on at the same time. This patch ensures that whenever we have lockdep available, we do _some_ RCU activity at the site of the tracepoint, despite whether the tracepoint's condition matches or even if the tracepoint itself is completely disabled. This is a bit of a hack, but it is pretty self-contained. I confirmed that with this patch plus lockdep I get the same splat as Dave Jones did, but without enabling the tracepoint explicitly.

disabled When CONFIG_TRACING is not enabled, there's no reason to save the trace strings either by the linker or as a static variable that can be referenced later. Simply pass back the string that is given to tracepoint_string(). Had to move the define to include/linux/tracepoint.h so that it is still visible when CONFIG_TRACING is not set.

2014-05-07tracing: Add trace_<tracepoint>_enabled() functionSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)1-0/+10
There are some code paths in the kernel that need to do some preparations before it calls a tracepoint. As that code is worthless overhead when the tracepoint is not enabled, it would be prudent to have that code only run when the tracepoint is active. To accomplish this, all tracepoints now get a static inline function called "trace_<tracepoint-name>_enabled()" which returns true when the tracepoint is enabled and false otherwise. As an added bonus, that function uses the static_key of the tracepoint such that no branch is needed. if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled()) { arg = process_tp_arg(); trace_mytracepoint(arg); } Will keep the "process_tp_arg()" (which may be expensive to run) from being executed when the tracepoint isn't enabled. It's best to encapsulate the tracepoint itself in the if statement just to keep races. For example, if you had: if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled()) arg = process_tp_arg(); trace_mytracepoint(arg); There's a chance that the tracepoint could be enabled just after the if statement, and arg will be undefined when calling the tracepoint.

Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem. When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an infinite event generation loop: ,-> <IPI> | irq_work_exit() -> | trace_irq_work_exit() -> | ... | __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync) | irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty) '--------- arch_irq_work_raise() Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit. To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint. In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a tracepoint perf event.

Each TRACE_EVENT() adds several helper functions. If two or more trace events share the same structure and print format, they can also share most of these helper functions and save a lot of space from duplicate code. This is why the DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() were created. Some events require a trigger to be called at registering and unregistering of the event and to do so they use TRACE_EVENT_FN(). If multiple events require a trigger, they currently have no choice but to use TRACE_EVENT_FN() as there's no DEFINE_EVENT_FN() available. This unfortunately causes a lot of wasted duplicate code created. By adding a DEFINE_EVENT_FN(), these events can still use a DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and then define their own triggers.

2013-06-11trace: Allow idle-safe tracepoints to be called from irqPaul E. McKenney1-2/+2
__DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() currently creates an _rcuidle() tracepoint which may safely be invoked from what RCU considers to be an idle CPU. However, these _rcuidle() tracepoints may -not- be invoked from the handler of an irq taken from idle, because rcu_idle_enter() zeroes RCU's nesting-level counter, so that the rcu_irq_exit() returning to idle will trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE(). This commit therefore substitutes rcu_irq_enter() for rcu_idle_exit() and rcu_irq_exit() for rcu_idle_enter() in order to make the _rcuidle() tracepoints usable from irq handlers as well as from process context.

Tracepoints declare a static inline trace_*_rcuidle variant of the trace function, to support safely generating trace events from the idle loop. Module code never actually uses that variant of trace functions, because modules don't run code that needs tracing with RCU idled. However, the declaration of those otherwise unused functions causes the module to reference rcu_idle_exit and rcu_idle_enter, which RCU does not export to modules. To avoid this, don't generate trace_*_rcuidle functions for tracepoints declared in module code.

static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

2012-02-13tracing/rcu: Add trace_##name##__rcuidle() static tracepoint for inside ↵Steven Rostedt1-4/+18
rcu_idle_exit() sections Added is a new static inline function that lets *any* tracepoint be used inside a rcu_idle_exit() section. And this also solves the problem where the same tracepoint may be used inside a rcu_idle_exit() section as well as outside of one. I added a new tracepoint function with a "_rcuidle" extension. All tracepoints can be used with either the normal "trace_foobar()" function, or the "trace_foobar_rcuidle()" function when inside a rcu_idle_exit() section. All tracepoints defined by TRACE_EVENT() or any of the derivatives will have a "_rcuidle()" function also defined. When a tracepoint is used within an rcu_idle_exit() section, the "_rcuidle()" version must be used. This denotes that the tracepoint is within rcu_idle_exit() and it allows the rcu read locks within the tracepoint to still be valid, as this version takes us out of rcu_idle_exit(). Another nice aspect about this patch is that "static inline"s are not compiled into text when not used. So only the tracepoints that actually use the _rcuidle() version will have them defined in the actual text that is booted.

2011-08-11Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutexMathieu Desnoyers1-14/+11
Copy the information needed from struct module into a local module list held within tracepoint.c from within the module coming/going notifier. This vastly simplifies locking of tracepoint registration / unregistration, because we don't have to take the module mutex to register and unregister tracepoints anymore. Steven Rostedt ran into dependency problems related to modules mutex vs kprobes mutex vs ftrace mutex vs tracepoint mutex that seems to be hard to fix without removing this dependency between tracepoint and module mutex. (note: it should be investigated whether kprobes could benefit of being dissociated from the modules mutex too.) This also fixes module handling of tracepoint list iterators, because it was expecting the list to be sorted by pointer address. Given we have control on our own list now, it's OK to sort this list which has tracepoints as its only purpose. The reason why this sorting is required is to handle the fact that seq files (and any read() operation from user-space) cannot hold the tracepoint mutex across multiple calls, so list entries may vanish between calls. With sorting, the tracepoint iterator becomes usable even if the list don't contain the exact item pointed to by the iterator anymore.

Introduce: static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key); instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro. In this way, jump labels become really easy to use: Define: struct jump_label_key jump_key; Can be used as: if (static_branch(&jump_key)) do unlikely code enable/disale via: jump_label_inc(&jump_key); jump_label_dec(&jump_key); that's it! For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(), atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct. Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write.

2011-02-03tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer arrayMathieu Desnoyers1-15/+20
Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller: use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se. It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8 for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes. History: commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE() added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte multiples. One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5. The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the extra unexpected padding.

2010-12-03tracing: Add TRACE_EVENT_CONDITIONAL()Steven Rostedt1-6/+23
There are instances in the kernel that we only want to trace a tracepoint when a certain condition is set. But we do not want to test for that condition in the core kernel. If we test for that condition before calling the tracepoin, then we will be performing that test even when tracing is not enabled. This is 99.99% of the time. We currently can just filter out on that condition, but that happens after we write to the trace buffer. We just wasted time writing to the ring buffer for an event we never cared about. This patch adds: TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() and DEFINE_EVENT_CONDITION() These have a new TP_CONDITION() argument that comes right after the TP_ARGS(). This condition can use the parameters of TP_ARGS() in the TRACE_EVENT() to determine if the tracepoint should be traced or not. The TP_CONDITION() will be placed in a if (cond) trace; For example, for the tracepoint sched_wakeup, it is useless to trace a wakeup event where the caller never actually wakes anything up (where success == 0). So adding: TP_CONDITION(success), which uses the "success" parameter of the wakeup tracepoint will have it only trace when we have successfully woken up a task.

The header file include/linux/tracepoint.h may be included without include/linux/errno.h and then the compiler will fail on building for undelcared ENOSYS.

2010-05-14tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacksSteven Rostedt1-23/+72
This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks. The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data parameter. For example: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value) Will create the register function: int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe, void *data); As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data) parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like: void myprobe(void *data, int value) { } The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter. This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along with the function probe. void mycallback(void *data, int value); register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata); Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter before the args. A more detailed example: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status)); /* In the C file */ DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status)); [...] trace_mytracepoint(status); /* In a file registering this tracepoint */ int my_callback(void *data, int status) { struct my_struct my_data = data; [...] } [...] my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL); init_my_data(my_data); register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data); The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used to unregister the callback: unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data); Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have no args. That is: DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS()); will cause an error. If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead: DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint); Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out. This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4914025 1088868 861512 6864405 68be15 vmlinux.class 4918492 1084612 861512 6864616 68bee8 vmlinux.tracepoint Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but lays the ground work for decreasing it. v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates. v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes. Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out. v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument. This makes the calling functions comply with C standards. Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE(). v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that do not need any arguments.

2010-05-14tracepoints: Add check trace callback typeMathieu Desnoyers1-1/+6
This check is meant to be used by tracepoint users which do a direct cast of callbacks to (void *) for direct registration, thus bypassing the register_trace_##name and unregister_trace_##name checks. This permits to ensure that the callback type matches the function type at the call site, but without generating any code.

2010-05-05tracing: Fix tracepoint.h DECLARE_TRACE() to allow more than one headerSteven Rostedt1-55/+59
When more than one header is included under CREATE_TRACE_POINTS the DECLARE_TRACE() macro is not defined back to its original meaning and the second include will fail to initialize the TRACE_EVENT() and DECLARE_TRACE() correctly. To fix this the tracepoint.h file moves the define of DECLARE_TRACE() out of the #ifdef _LINUX_TRACEPOINT_H protection (just like the define of the TRACE_EVENT()). This way the define_trace.h will undef the DECLARE_TRACE() at the end and allow new headers to start from scratch. This patch also requires fixing the include/events/napi.h It currently uses DECLARE_TRACE() and should be converted to a TRACE_EVENT() format. But I'll leave that change to the authors of that file. But since the napi.h file depends on using the CREATE_TRACE_POINTS and does not define its own DEFINE_TRACE() it must use the define_trace.h method instead.

2009-11-26events: Rename TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE() to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()Ingo Molnar1-1/+1
It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template? To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel: DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2) DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3) To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to: DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event) ... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

2009-11-25tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINTSteven Rostedt1-0/+2
After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there are several trace points where they are almost identical except for the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT and override the print format. Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. I was able to get the following: $ size kernel/sched.o-* text data bss dec hex filename 79299 6776 2520 88595 15a13 kernel/sched.o-notrace 101941 11896 2584 116421 1c6c5 kernel/sched.o-templ 104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace sched.o-notrace is the scheduler compiled with no trace points. sched.o-templ is with the use of DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT sched.o-trace is the current trace events.

2009-11-25tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATESteven Rostedt1-0/+4
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.

Both define TRACE_EVENT in trace_a.h and trace_b.h, if we include those in .c file, like this: #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS include <trace/events/trace_a.h> include <trace/events/trace_b.h> The above will not work, because the TRACE_EVENT was re-defined by the previous .h file.
