tracepoint: Use __idx instead of idx in DO_TRACE macro to make it unique

2018-12-08T11:59:07Z

commit 0c7a52e4d4b5c4d35b31f3c3ad32af814f1bf491 upstream. After enabling KVM event tracing, almost all of trace_kvm_exit()'s printk shows "kvm_exit: IRQ: ..." even if the actual exception_type is NOT IRQ. More specifically, trace_kvm_exit() is defined in virt/kvm/arm/trace.h by TRACE_EVENT. This slight problem may have existed after commit e6753f23d961 ("tracepoint: Make rcuidle tracepoint callers use SRCU"). There are two variables in trace_kvm_exit() and __DO_TRACE() which have the same name, *idx*. Thus the actual value of *idx* will be overwritten when tracing. Fix it by adding a simple prefix.

tracepoint: Fix tracepoint array element size mismatch

2018-10-17T19:35:29Z

commit 46e0c9be206f ("kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative references") changes the layout of the __tracepoint_ptrs section on architectures supporting relative references. However, it does so without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect: Setting mod->num_tracepoints is done in by module.c: mod->tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs", sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs), &mod->num_tracepoints); Basically, since sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size (rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer division. So in the module going notifier: for_each_tracepoint_range(mod->tracepoints_ptrs, mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints, tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL); the expression (mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints) actually evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch. Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations, or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have this feature. Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation. This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed before the end of the rc cycle.

But perf uses these tracepoints with RCU and expects it to be. Hence, we still need to add in the rcu_irq_enter/exit_irqson() calls for "rcuidle" tracepoints. This is a temporary fix until we have SRCU working in NMI context, and then perf can be converted to use that instead of normal RCU.

kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative references

To avoid the need for relocating absolute references to tracepoint structures at boot time when running relocatable kernels (which may take a disproportionate amount of space), add the option to emit these tables as relative references instead.

tracepoint: Make rcuidle tracepoint callers use SRCU

2018-07-30T23:13:03Z

In recent tests with IRQ on/off tracepoints, a large performance overhead ~10% is noticed when running hackbench. This is root caused to calls to rcu_irq_enter_irqson and rcu_irq_exit_irqson from the tracepoint code. Following a long discussion on the list [1] about this, we concluded that srcu is a better alternative for use during rcu idle. Although it does involve extra barriers, its lighter than the sched-rcu version which has to do additional RCU calls to notify RCU idle about entry into RCU sections. In this patch, we change the underlying implementation of the trace_*_rcuidle API to use SRCU. This has shown to improve performance alot for the high frequency irq enable/disable tracepoints. Test: Tested idle and preempt/irq tracepoints. Here are some performance numbers: With a run of the following 30 times on a single core x86 Qemu instance with 1GB memory: hackbench -g 4 -f 2 -l 3000 Completion times in seconds.

rcu: Eliminate rcu_irq_enter_disabled()

2017-11-27T16:42:03Z

Now that the irq path uses the rcu_nmi_{enter,exit}() algorithm, rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() may be used from any context. There is thus no need for rcu_irq_enter_disabled() and for the checks using it. This commit therefore eliminates rcu_irq_enter_disabled(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

tracing: define TRACE_DEFINE_SIZEOF() macro to map sizeof's to their values

2017-06-13T21:10:57Z

Perf has a problem that if sizeof() macros are used within TRACE_EVENT() macro's they end up in userspace as "sizeof(kernel structure)" which cannot properly be parsed. Add a macro which can forward this data through the eval_map for userspace utilization.

tracing: Make sure rcu_irq_enter() can work for trace_*_rcuidle() trace events

2017-04-10T19:22:17Z

Stack tracing discovered that there's a small location inside the RCU infrastructure where calling rcu_irq_enter() does not work. As trace events use rcu_irq_enter() it must make sure that it is functionable. A check against rcu_irq_enter_disabled() is added with a WARN_ON_ONCE() as no trace event should ever be used in that part of RCU. If the warning is triggered, then the trace event is ignored. Restructure the __DO_TRACE() a bit to get rid of the prercu and postrcu, and just have an rcucheck that does the work from within the _DO_TRACE() macro. gcc optimization will compile out the rcucheck=0 case.
