tracing/kprobes: Do the notrace functions check without kprobes on ftrace

2021-01-19T17:27:19Z

commit 7bb83f6fc4ee84e95d0ac0d14452c2619fb3fe70 upstream. Enable the notrace function check on the architecture which doesn't support kprobes on ftrace but support dynamic ftrace. This notrace function check is not only for the kprobes on ftrace but also sw-breakpoint based kprobes. Thus there is no reason to limit this check for the arch which supports kprobes on ftrace. This also changes the dependency of Kconfig. Because kprobe event uses the function tracer's address list for identifying notrace function, if the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n, it can not check whether the target function is notrace or not.

tracing: Remove obsolete PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS kconfig option

2020-06-06T00:08:26Z

The PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS option is unused after commit c3bc8fd637a9 ("tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage"). Remove it. Note that this option is hazardous as it stands. It enables TRACE_IRQFLAGS event on non-preempt configurations without the irqsoff tracer enabled. TRACE_IRQFLAGS as it stands incurs significant overhead on each IRQ entry/exit. This is because trace_hardirqs_[on|off] does all the per-cpu manipulations and NMI checks even if tracing is completely disabled for some insane reason. For example, netperf running UDP_STREAM on localhost incurs a 4-6% performance penalty without any tracing if IRQFLAGS is set. It can be put behind a static brach but even the function entry/exit costs a little bit.

tracing: Move synthetic events to a separate file

2020-06-01T12:23:22Z

With the addition of the in-kernel synthetic event API, synthetic events are no longer specifically tied to the histogram triggers. The synthetic event code is also making trace_event_hist.c very bloated, so for those reasons, move it to a separate file, trace_events_synth.c, along with a new trace_synth.h header file. Because synthetic events are now independent from hist triggers, add a new CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENTS config option, and have CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS select it, and have CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENT_GEN_TEST depend on it.

tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging

2020-06-01T12:22:30Z

Add a new "hist_debug" file for each trace event, which when read will dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers defined on that event. This is normally off but can be enabled by saying 'y' to the new CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG config option. This is in support of the new Documentation file describing histogram internals, Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst, which was requested by developers trying to understand the internals when extending or making use of the hist triggers for higher-level tools. The histogram-design.rst documentation refers to the hist_debug files and demonstrates their use with output in the test examples.

Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized

2020-05-09T20:57:10Z

We have some rather random rules about when we accept the "maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't. For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size. And then various kernel config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES). And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did. At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings. So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the extra compiler warnings, use W=123". Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not? Yes, it would. In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and our source code would be simpler. That's currently not the world we live in, though. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
