ftrace: kprobe: uprobe: Add x8/x16/x32/x64 for hexadecimal types

2016-08-23T18:38:09Z

Add x8/x16/x32/x64 for hexadecimal type casting to kprobe/uprobe event tracer. These type casts can be used for integer arguments for explicitly showing them in hexadecimal digits in formatted text.

tracing: expose current->comm to [ku]probe events

2016-06-20T13:54:19Z

ftrace is very quick to give up on saving the task command line (see `trace_save_cmdline()`). The workaround for events which really care about the command line is to explicitly assign it as part of the entry. However, this doesn't work for kprobe events, as there's no straightforward way to get access to current->comm. Add a kprobe/uprobe event variable $comm which provides exactly that.

perf: split perf_trace_buf_prepare into alloc and update parts

2016-04-08T01:04:26Z

split allows to move expensive update of 'struct trace_entry' to later phase. Repurpose unused 1st argument of perf_tp_event() to indicate event type. While splitting use temp variable 'rctx' instead of '*rctx' to avoid unnecessary loads done by the compiler due to -fno-strict-aliasing Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) Signed-off-by: David S.

kernel/...: convert pr_warning to pr_warn

2016-03-22T22:36:02Z

Use the more common logging method with the eventual goal of removing pr_warning altogether.

kprobes: Optimize hot path by using percpu counter to collect 'nhit' statistics

2016-02-09T10:08:58Z

When doing ebpf+kprobe on some hot TCP functions (e.g. tcp_rcv_established), the kprobe_dispatcher() function shows up in 'perf report'. In kprobe_dispatcher(), there is a lot of cache bouncing on 'tk->nhit++'. 'tk->nhit' and 'tk->tp.flags' also share the same cacheline. perf report (cycles:pp): 8.30% ipv4_dst_check 4.74% copy_user_enhanced_fast_string 3.93% dst_release 2.80% tcp_v4_rcv 2.31% queued_spin_lock_slowpath 2.30% _raw_spin_lock 1.88% mlx4_en_process_rx_cq 1.84% eth_get_headlen 1.81% ip_rcv_finish ~~~~ 1.71% kprobe_dispatcher ~~~~ 1.55% mlx4_en_xmit 1.09% __probe_kernel_read perf report after patch: 9.15% ipv4_dst_check 5.00% copy_user_enhanced_fast_string 4.12% dst_release 2.96% tcp_v4_rcv 2.50% _raw_spin_lock 2.39% queued_spin_lock_slowpath 2.11% eth_get_headlen 2.03% mlx4_en_process_rx_cq 1.69% mlx4_en_xmit 1.19% ip_rcv_finish 1.12% __probe_kernel_read 1.02% ehci_hcd_cleanup Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu Acked-by: Steven Rostedt Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Josef Bacik Cc: Kernel Team Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1454531308-2441898-1-git-send-email-kafai@fb.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

lib: introduce strncpy_from_unsafe()

tracing: Rename ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() to trace_trigger_soft_disabled()

2015-05-13T19:25:39Z

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. The ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled() tests if a trace_event is soft disabled (called but not traced), and returns true if it is. It has nothing to do with function tracing and should be renamed.

tracing: Rename ftrace_event_name() to trace_event_name()

2015-05-13T18:20:14Z

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It is not about the trace_events. ftrace_event_name() returns the name of an event tracepoint, has nothing to do with function tracing. Rename it to trace_event_name(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

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_*.
