ftrace: Move ftrace_filter_lseek out of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section

2013-06-13T16:45:03Z

commit 7f49ef69db6bbf756c0abca7e9b65b32e999eec8 upstream. As ftrace_filter_lseek is now used with ftrace_pid_fops, it needs to be moved out of the #ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section as the ftrace_pid_fops is defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not.

tracing: Fix possible NULL pointer dereferences

2013-06-13T16:45:03Z

commit 6a76f8c0ab19f215af2a3442870eeb5f0e81998d upstream. Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek for their fops. However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic. It can be easily reproduced with following command: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a") and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().

ftrace, perf: Add filter support for function trace event

2012-02-21T16:08:30Z

Adding support to filter function trace event via perf interface. It is now possible to use filter interface in the perf tool like: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter="(ip == mm_*)" ls The filter syntax is restricted to the the 'ip' field only, and following operators are accepted '==' '!=' '||', ending up with the filter strings like: ip == f1[, ]f2 ... || ip != f3[, ]f4 ... with comma ',' or space ' ' as a function separator. If the space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_filter file. The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_notrace file. The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space. The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions together. It is possible to have more than one '==' and '!=' operators within one filter string.

ftrace: Add enable/disable ftrace_ops control interface

2012-02-21T16:08:23Z

Adding a way to temporarily enable/disable ftrace_ops. The change follows the same way as 'global' ftrace_ops are done. Introducing 2 global ftrace_ops - control_ops and ftrace_control_list which take over all ftrace_ops registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL flag. In addition new per cpu flag called 'disabled' is also added to ftrace_ops to provide the control information for each cpu. When ftrace_ops with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL is registered, it is set as disabled for all cpus. The ftrace_control_list contains all the registered 'control' ftrace_ops. The control_ops provides function which iterates ftrace_control_list and does the check for 'disabled' flag on current cpu. Adding 3 inline functions: ftrace_function_local_disable/ftrace_function_local_enable - enable/disable the ftrace_ops on current cpu ftrace_function_local_disabled - get disabled ftrace_ops::disabled value for current cpu Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1329317514-8131-2-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Change filter/notrace set functions to return exit code

2012-02-03T14:48:18Z

Currently the ftrace_set_filter and ftrace_set_notrace functions do not return any return code. So there's no way for ftrace_ops user to tell wether the filter was correctly applied. The set_ftrace_filter interface returns error in case the filter did not match: # echo krava > set_ftrace_filter bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Changing both ftrace_set_filter and ftrace_set_notrace functions to return zero if the filter was applied correctly or -E* values in case of error.

tracing: Fix compile error when static ftrace is enabled

2012-01-07T22:26:49Z

The stack tracer uses the call ftrace_set_early_filter() function to allow the stack tracer to pick its own functions on boot. But this function is not defined if dynamic ftrace is not set. This causes a compiler error when stack tracer is enabled and dynamic ftrace is not. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Allow access to the boot time function enabling

2011-12-21T12:26:35Z

Change set_ftrace_early_filter() to ftrace_set_early_filter() and make it a global function. This will allow other subsystems in the kernel to be able to enable function tracing at start up and reuse the ftrace function parsing code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Decouple hash items from showing filtered functions

2011-12-21T12:25:24Z

The set_ftrace_filter shows "hashed" functions, which are functions that are added with operations to them (like traceon and traceoff). As other subsystems may be able to show what functions they are using for function tracing, the hash items should no longer be shown just because the FILTER flag is set. As they have nothing to do with other subsystems filters. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Allow other users of function tracing to use the output listing

2011-12-21T12:25:06Z

The function tracer is set up to allow any other subsystem (like perf) to use it. Ftrace already has a way to list what functions are enabled by the global_ops. It would be very helpful to let other users of the function tracer to be able to use the same code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Replace record newlist with record page list

2011-12-21T12:19:03Z

As new functions come in to be initalized from mcount to nop, they are done by groups of pages. Whether it is the core kernel or a module. There's no need to keep track of these on a per record basis. At startup, and as any module is loaded, the functions to be traced are stored in a group of pages and added to the function list at the end. We just need to keep a pointer to the first page of the list that was added, and use that to know where to start on the list for initializing functions. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
