tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD

2025-07-23T00:15:56Z

Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other architectures can still function until they too have been updated. The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where applicable.

kernel: ftrace: export ftrace_sync_ipi

2025-06-05T18:09:24Z

The following ftrace patch for riscv uses a data store to update ftrace function. Therefore, a romote fence is required to order it against function_trace_op updates. The mechanism is similar to the fence between function_trace_op and update_ftrace_func in the generic ftrace, so we leverage the same ftrace_sync_ipi function.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Have module addresses get updated in the persistent ring buffer The addresses of the modules from the previous boot are saved in the persistent ring buffer. If the same modules are loaded and an address is in the old buffer points to an address that was both saved in the persistent ring buffer and is loaded in memory, shift the address to point to the address that is loaded in memory in the trace event. - Print function names for irqs off and preempt off callsites When ignoring the print fmt of a trace event and just printing the fields directly, have the fields for preempt off and irqs off events still show the function name (via kallsyms) instead of just showing the raw address. - Clean ups of the histogram code The histogram functions saved over 800 bytes on the stack to process events as they come in. Instead, create per-cpu buffers that can hold this information and have a separate location for each context level (thread, softirq, IRQ and NMI). Also add some more comments to the code. - Add "common_comm" field for histograms Add "common_comm" that uses the current->comm as a field in an event histogram and acts like any of the other fields of the event. - Show "subops" in the enabled_functions file When the function graph infrastructure is used, a subsystem has a "subops" that it attaches its callback function to. Instead of the enabled_functions just showing a function calling the function that calls the subops functions, also show the subops functions that will get called for that function too. - Add "copy_trace_marker" option to instances There are cases where an instance is created for tooling to write into, but the old tooling has the top level instance hardcoded into the application. New tools want to consume the data from an instance and not the top level buffer. By adding a copy_trace_marker option, whenever the top instance trace_marker is written into, a copy of it is also written into the instance with this option set. This allows new tools to read what old tools are writing into the top buffer. If this option is cleared by the top instance, then what is written into the trace_marker is not written into the top instance. This is a way to redirect the trace_marker writes into another instance. - Have tracepoints created by DECLARE_TRACE() use trace__tp() If a tracepoint is created by DECLARE_TRACE() instead of TRACE_EVENT(), then it will not be exposed via tracefs. Currently there's no way to differentiate in the kernel the tracepoint functions between those that are exposed via tracefs or not. A calling convention has been made manually to append a "_tp" prefix for events created by DECLARE_TRACE(). Instead of doing this manually, force it so that all DECLARE_TRACE() events have this notation. - Use __string() for task->comm in some sched events Instead of hardcoding the comm to be TASK_COMM_LEN in some of the scheduler events use __string() which makes it dynamic. Note, if these events are parsed by user space it they may break, and the event may have to be converted back to the hardcoded size. - Have function graph "depth" be unsigned to the user Internally to the kernel, the "depth" field of the function graph event is signed due to -1 being used for end of boundary. What actually gets recorded in the event itself is zero or positive. Reflect this to user space by showing "depth" as unsigned int and be consistent across all events. - Allow an arbitrary long CPU string to osnoise_cpus_write() The filtering of which CPUs to write to can exceed 256 bytes. If a machine has 256 CPUs, and the filter is to filter every other CPU, the write would take a string larger than 256 bytes. Instead of using a fixed size buffer on the stack that is 256 bytes, allocate it to handle what is passed in. - Stop having ftrace check the per-cpu data "disabled" flag The "disabled" flag in the data structure passed to most ftrace functions is checked to know if tracing has been disabled or not. This flag was added back in 2008 before the ring buffer had its own way to disable tracing. The "disable" flag is now not always set when needed, and the ring buffer flag should be used in all locations where the disabled is needed. Since the "disable" flag is redundant and incorrect, stop using it. Fix up some locations that use the "disable" flag to use the ring buffer info. - Use a new tracer_tracing_disable/enable() instead of data->disable flag There's a few cases that set the data->disable flag to stop tracing, but this flag is not consistently used. It is also an on/off switch where if a function set it and calls another function that sets it, the called function may incorrectly enable it. Use a new trace_tracing_disable() and tracer_tracing_enable() that uses a counter and can be nested. These use the ring buffer flags which are always checked making the disabling more consistent. - Save the trace clock in the persistent ring buffer Save what clock was used for tracing in the persistent ring buffer and set it back to that clock after a reboot. - Remove unused reference to a per CPU data pointer in mmiotrace functions - Remove unused buffer_page field from trace_array_cpu structure - Remove more strncpy() instances - Other minor clean ups and fixes * tag 'trace-v6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (36 commits) tracing: Fix compilation warning on arm32 tracing: Record trace_clock and recover when reboot tracing/sched: Use __string() instead of fixed lengths for task->comm tracepoint: Have tracepoints created with DECLARE_TRACE() have _tp suffix tracing: Cleanup upper_empty() in pid_list tracing: Allow the top level trace_marker to write into another instances tracing: Add a helper function to handle the dereference arg in verifier tracing: Remove unnecessary "goto out" that simply returns ret is trigger code tracing: Fix error handling in event_trigger_parse() tracing: Rename event_trigger_alloc() to trigger_data_alloc() tracing: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy() for stack_trace_filter_buf tracing: Remove unused buffer_page field from trace_array_cpu structure tracing: Use atomic_inc_return() for updating "disabled" counter in irqsoff tracer tracing: Convert the per CPU "disabled" counter to local from atomic tracing: branch: Use trace_tracing_is_on_cpu() instead of "disabled" field ring-buffer: Add ring_buffer_record_is_on_cpu() tracing: Do not use per CPU array_buffer.data->disabled for cpumask ftrace: Do not disabled function graph based on "disabled" field tracing: kdb: Use tracer_tracing_on/off() instead of setting per CPU disabled tracing: Use tracer_tracing_disable() instead of "disabled" field for ftrace_dump_one() ...

ftrace: Show subops in enabled_functions

2025-05-08T13:36:08Z

The function graph infrastructure uses subops of the function tracer. These are not shown in enabled_functions. Add a "subops:" section to the enabled_functions line to show what functions are attached via subops. If the subops is from the function_graph infrastructure, then show the entry and return callbacks that are attached. Here's an example of the output: schedule_on_each_cpu (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc03ef000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 subops: {ent:trace_graph_entry+0x0/0x20 ret:trace_graph_return+0x0/0x150} Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250410153830.5d97f108@gandalf.local.home Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)

fgraph: Remove calltime and rettime from generic operations

2025-01-22T02:55:49Z

The function graph infrastructure is now generic so that kretprobes, fprobes and BPF can use it. But there is still some leftover logic that only the function graph tracer itself uses. This is the calculation of the calltime and return time of the functions. The calculation of the calltime has been moved into the function graph tracer and those users that need it so that it doesn't cause overhead to the other users. But the return function timestamp was still called. Instead of just moving the taking of the timestamp into the function graph trace remove the calltime and rettime completely from the ftrace_graph_ret structure. Instead, move it into the function graph return entry event structure and this also moves all the calltime and rettime logic out of the generic fgraph.c code and into the tracing code that uses it. This has been reported to decrease the overhead by ~27%.

Allow fprobe events to be enabled with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. With this change, fprobe events mostly use ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs. Note that if the arch doesn't enable HAVE_FTRACE_REGS_HAVING_PT_REGS, fprobe events will not be able to be used from perf.
