tracing: Remove duplicate struct declaration in trace_events.h

2021-04-01T18:18:32Z

struct trace_array is declared twice. One has been declared at forward declaration. Remove the duplicate. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210330034056.2266969-1-wanjiabing@vivo.com Signed-off-by: Wan Jiabing Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Pass buffer of event to trigger operations

2021-03-18T16:58:26Z

The ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() is going to be updated to extract the time stamp for the event without needing it to be set to have absolute values for all events. But to do so, it needs the buffer that the event is on as the buffer saves information for the event before it is committed to the buffer. If the trace buffer is disabled, a temporary buffer is used, and there's no access to this buffer from the current histogram triggers, even though it is passed to the trace event code. Pass the buffer that the event is on all the way down to the histogram triggers.

tracing: Fix comment about the trace_event_call flags

2021-03-04T14:51:50Z

In the declaration of the struct trace_event_call, the flags has the bits defined in the comment above it. But these bits are also defined by the TRACE_EVENT_FL_* enums just above the declaration of the struct. As the comment about the flags in the struct has become stale and incorrect, just replace it with a reference to the TRACE_EVENT_FL_* enum above. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Show real address for trace event arguments

2021-02-11T21:31:57Z

To help debugging kernel, show real address for trace event arguments in tracefs/trace{,pipe} instead of hashed pointer value. Since ftrace human-readable format uses vsprintf(), all %p are translated to hash values instead of pointer address. However, when debugging the kernel, raw address value gives a hint when comparing with the memory mapping in the kernel. (Those are sometimes used with crash log, which is not hashed too) So converting %p with %px when calling trace_seq_printf(). Moreover, this is not improving the security because the tracefs can be used only by root user and the raw address values are readable from tracefs/percpu/cpu*/trace_pipe_raw file.

tracing: Remove NULL check from current in tracing_generic_entry_update().

2021-02-02T22:02:06Z

I can't imagine when or why `current' would return a NULL pointer. This check was added in commit 72829bc3d63cd ("ftrace: move enums to ftrace.h and make helper function global") but it doesn't give me hint why it was needed. Assume `current' never returns a NULL pointer and remove the check.

tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter.

2021-02-02T22:02:06Z

The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits (softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed. The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'. tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth (considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one special cases). The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record. The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the state. Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used outside of trace recording. This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and local_save_flags() invocations. As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke: - trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update() - event_trigger_unlock_commit() -> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update() -> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update() In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49Z

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid complications with clang and gcc differences. Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro. Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo"). Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo") even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entry

2020-03-19T21:48:36Z

In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating, it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable. There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single copy, this use case will no longer be supported. Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.
