ftrace: Use the rcu _notrace variants for rcu_dereference_raw() and friends

2013-05-29T02:48:00+00:00

As rcu_dereference_raw() under RCU debug config options can add quite a
bit of checks, and that tracing uses rcu_dereference_raw(), these checks
happen with the function tracer. The function tracer also happens to trace
these debug checks too. This added overhead can livelock the system.

Have the function tracer use the new RCU _notrace equivalents that do
not do the debug checks for RCU.

ftrace: Fix function probe when more than one probe is added

2013-05-10T00:16:27+00:00

When the first function probe is added and the function tracer
is updated the functions are modified to call the probe.
But when a second function is added, it updates the function
records to have the second function also update, but it fails
to update the actual function itself.

This prevents the second (or third or forth and so on) probes
from having their functions called.

Still need to update the functions even though the probe itself
does not need to be registered again when added a new probe.

ftrace: Fix the output of enabled_functions debug file

2013-05-10T00:16:16+00:00

The enabled_functions debugfs file was created to be able to see
what functions have been modified from nops to calling a tracer.

The current method uses the counter in the function record.
As when a ftrace_ops is registered to a function, its count
increases. But that doesn't mean that the function is actively
being traced. /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled can be set to zero
which would disable it, as well as something can go wrong and
we can think its enabled when only the counter is set.

The record's FTRACE_FL_ENABLED flag is set or cleared when its
function is modified. That is a much more accurate way of knowing
what function is enabled or not.

ftrace: Cleanup regex_lock and ftrace_lock around hash updating

2013-05-10T00:11:48+00:00

Cleanup regex_lock and ftrace_lock locking points around
ftrace_ops hash update code.

The new rule is that regex_lock protects ops->*_hash
read-update-write code for each ftrace_ops. Usually,
hash update is done by following sequence.

1. allocate a new local hash and copy the original hash.
2. update the local hash.
3. move(actually, copy) back the local hash to ftrace_ops.
4. update ftrace entries if needed.
5. release the local hash.

This makes regex_lock protect #1-#4, and ftrace_lock
to protect #3, #4 and adding and removing ftrace_ops from the
ftrace_ops_list. The ftrace_lock protects #3 as well because
the move functions update the entries too.

ftrace, kprobes: Fix a deadlock on ftrace_regex_lock

2013-05-10T00:10:22+00:00

Fix a deadlock on ftrace_regex_lock which happens when setting
an enable_event trigger on dynamic kprobe event as below.

----
sh-2.05b# echo p vfs_symlink > kprobe_events
sh-2.05b# echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:kprobes:p_vfs_symlink_0 > set_ftrace_filter

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.9.0+ #35 Not tainted
---------------------------------------------
sh/72 is trying to acquire lock:
 (ftrace_regex_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [] ftrace_set_hash+0x81/0x1f0

but task is already holding lock:
 (ftrace_regex_lock){+.+.+.}, at: [] ftrace_regex_write.isra.29.part.30+0x3d/0x220

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(ftrace_regex_lock);
  lock(ftrace_regex_lock);

 *** DEADLOCK ***
----

To fix that, this introduces a finer regex_lock for each ftrace_ops.
ftrace_regex_lock is too big of a lock which protects all
filter/notrace_hash operations, but it doesn't need to be a global
lock after supporting multiple ftrace_ops because each ftrace_ops
has its own filter/notrace_hash.

ftrace: Have ftrace_regex_write() return either read or error

2013-05-09T15:35:12+00:00

As ftrace_regex_write() reads the result of ftrace_process_regex()
which can sometimes return a positive number, only consider a
failure if the return is negative. Otherwise, it will skip possible
other registered probes and by returning a positive number that
wasn't read, it will confuse the user processes doing the writing.

2013-04-29T20:55:38+00:00

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
  changes with this pull request.

   1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility

  This feature has been requested by many people over the last few
  years.  I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves.
  I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now
  create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different
  events go to different buffers.  This way, a low frequency event will
  not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event.

  Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
  (ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
  be written to the main buffer.

   2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.

  The function tracer had two triggers.  One to enable tracing when a
  function is hit, and one to disable tracing.  Now you can record a
  stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
  buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
  an event to be traced when a function is hit.

   3) A perf clock has been added.

  A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing.  This will cause
  ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will
  make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis."
