tracing: Rename ftrace_event_{call,class} to trace_event_{call,class}

2015-05-13T18:06:10Z

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The structures ftrace_event_call and ftrace_event_class have nothing to do with the function hooks, and are really trace_event structures. Rename ftrace_event_* to trace_event_*.

tracing: Rename ftrace_event.h to trace_events.h

2015-05-13T18:05:12Z

The term "ftrace" is really the infrastructure of the function hooks, and not the trace events. Rename ftrace_event.h to trace_events.h to represent the trace_event infrastructure and decouple the term ftrace from it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Fix syscall_*regfunc() vs copy_process() race

2014-06-21T04:15:12Z

syscall_regfunc() and syscall_unregfunc() should set/clear TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT system-wide, but do_each_thread() can race with copy_process() and miss the new child which was not added to the process/thread lists yet. Change copy_process() to update the child's TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT under tasklist.

tracing: Cleanup unnecessary function declarations

2012-10-31T20:45:34Z

The functions defined in include/trace/syscalls.h are not used directly since struct ftrace_event_class was introduced. Remove them from the header file and rearrange the ftrace_event_class declarations in trace_syscalls.c.

tracing: Use a global field list for all syscall exit events

2010-06-28T21:12:44Z

All syscall exit events have the same fields.

tracing: Allow events to share their print functions

2010-05-14T18:20:32Z

Multiple events may use the same method to print their data. Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions, the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure that will hold the way to print ouf the event. The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print function know what kind of event it should print. This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print their output. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900382 1048964 861512 6810858 67ecea vmlinux.init 4900446 1049028 861512 6810986 67ed6a vmlinux.preprint This change slightly increases the size but is needed for the next change. v3: Fix the branch tracer events to handle this change. v2: Fix the new function graph tracer event calls to handle this change.

tracing: Move fields from event to class structure

2010-05-14T18:20:23Z

Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure. Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead of the individual events. The events of the same class would just hold duplicate information. After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs 4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields). This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created. Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT() so this should not be an issue. The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic so it should not be a issue. The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event. v2: Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list of fields for both enter and exit.

perf: Drop the obsolete profile naming for trace events
