tracing/syscalls: Annotate raw_init function with __init

2013-08-22T02:24:52Z

init_syscall_trace() can only be called during kernel bootup only, so we can mark it and the functions it calls as __init. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/51528E89.6080508@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing/perf: Move the PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE check into perf_trace_buf_prepare()

2013-07-19T01:31:28Z

Every perf_trace_buf_prepare() caller does WARN_ONCE(size > PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE, message) and "message" is almost the same. Shift this WARN_ONCE() into perf_trace_buf_prepare(). This changes the meaning of _ONCE, but I think this is fine. - 4947014 2932448 10104832 17984294 1126b26 vmlinux + 4948422 2932448 10104832 17985702 11270a6 vmlinux on my build.

tracing/syscall: Avoid perf_trace_buf_*() if sys_data->perf_events is empty

2013-07-19T01:31:28Z

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit(head, task => NULL) make no sense if hlist_empty(head). Change perf_syscall_enter/exit() to check sys_data->{enter,exit}_event->perf_events beforehand.

tracing: Fix irqs-off tag display in syscall tracing

2013-07-03T00:42:30Z

All syscall tracing irqs-off tags are wrong, the syscall enter entry doesn't disable irqs. [root@jovi tracing]#echo "syscalls:sys_enter_open" > set_event [root@jovi tracing]# cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 13/13 #P:2 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | irqbalance-513 [000] d... 56115.496766: sys_open(filename: 804e1a6, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) irqbalance-513 [000] d... 56115.497008: sys_open(filename: 804e1bb, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) sendmail-771 [000] d... 56115.827982: sys_open(filename: b770e6d1, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) The reason is syscall tracing doesn't record irq_flags into buffer.

tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure

2013-03-15T04:35:40Z

Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max latency. The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat. This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred. The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

tracing: Fix some section mismatch warnings

As we've added __init annotation to field-defining functions, we should add __refdata annotation to event_call variables, which reference those functions. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/51343C1F.2050502@huawei.com Reported-by: Fengguang Wu Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Make syscall events suitable for multiple buffers

2013-03-15T04:34:44Z

Currently the syscall events record into the global buffer. But if multiple buffers are in place, then we need to have syscall events record in the proper buffers. By adding descriptors to pass to the syscall event functions, the syscall events can now record into the buffers that have been assigned to them (one event may be applied to mulitple buffers). This will allow tracing high volume syscalls along with seldom occurring syscalls without losing the seldom syscall events. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
