Merge tag 'trace-v4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

2015-11-06T21:30:20+00:00

Pull tracking updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Most of the changes are clean ups and small fixes.  Some of them have
  stable tags to them.  I searched through my INBOX just as the merge
  window opened and found lots of patches to pull.  I ran them through
  all my tests and they were in linux-next for a few days.

  Features added this release:
  ----------------------------

   - Module globbing.  You can now filter function tracing to several
     modules.  # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)

   - Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
     active.  It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify
     tracer options after enabling the tracer.  Now they are in the
     options/ directory even when the tracer is not active.  Although
     they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the
     trace_options file.

   - Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer
     specific options are global)

   - New tracefs file: set_event_pid.  If any pid is added to this file,
     then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not
     part of this pid.  sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next
     and the wakee pids"

ftrace: add module globbing

2015-10-21T00:02:03+00:00

Extend module command for function filter selection with globbing.
It uses the same globbing as function filter.

  sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:*' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace any function with the letters 'alloc' in the name in any
module but not in kernel.

  sh# echo '!*alloc*:mod:ipv6' >> set_ftrace_filter

Will prevent from tracing functions with 'alloc' in the name from module
ipv6 (do not forget to append to set_ftrace_filter file).

  sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:!ipv6' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace functions with 'alloc' in the name from kernel and any
module except ipv6.

  sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:!*' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace any function with the letters 'alloc' in the name only from
kernel, but not from any module.

  sh# echo '*:mod:!*' > set_ftrace_filter
or
  sh# echo ':mod:!' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace every function in the kernel, but will not trace functions
from any module.

  sh# echo '*:mod:*' > set_ftrace_filter
or
  sh# echo ':mod:' > set_ftrace_filter

As the opposite will trace all functions from all modules, but not from
kernel.

  sh# echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter

Will trace your sound drivers only (if any).

ftrace: Introduce ftrace_glob structure

2015-10-20T22:23:07+00:00

ftrace_match parameters are very related and I reduce the number of local
variables & parameters with it.
This is also preparation for module globbing as it would introduce more
realated variables & parameters.

ftrace: Clarify code for mod command

2015-10-16T14:29:53+00:00

"Not" is too abstract variable name - changed to clear_filter.
Removed ftrace_match_module_records function: comparison with !* or *
not does the general code in filter_parse_regex() as it works without
mod command for
  sh# echo '!*' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

ftrace: Remove redundant strsep in mod_callback

2015-10-14T00:59:24+00:00

By now there isn't any subcommand for mod.

Before:
	sh$ echo '*:mod:ipv6:a' > set_ftrace_filter
	sh$ echo '*:mod:ipv6' > set_ftrace_filter
had the same results, but now first will result in:
	sh$ echo '*:mod:ipv6:a' > set_ftrace_filter
	-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Also, I clarified ftrace_mod_callback code a little.

sched/core: Fix trace_sched_switch()

2015-10-06T15:08:15+00:00

__trace_sched_switch_state() is the last remaining PREEMPT_ACTIVE
user, move trace_sched_switch() from prepare_task_switch() to
__schedule() and propagate the @preempt argument.

ftrace: Remove redundant swap function

2015-10-01T13:32:20+00:00

To cover the common case of sorting an array of pointers, Daniel
Wagner recently modified the library sort() to use a specific swap
function for size==8, in addition to the size==4 case which was
already handled. Since sizeof(long) is either 4 or 8,
ftrace_swap_ips() is redundant and we can just let sort() pick an
appropriate and fast swap callback.

tracing: Move sleep-time and graph-time options out of the core trace_flags

2015-09-30T19:22:42+00:00

The sleep-time and graph-time options are only for the function graph tracer
and are not used by anything else. As tracer options are now visible when
the tracer is not activated, its better to move the function graph specific
tracer options into the function graph tracer.

Merge tag 'trace-v4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

2015-09-08T21:04:14+00:00

Pull tracing update from Steven Rostedt:
 "Mostly this is just clean ups and micro optimizations.

  The changes with more meat are:

   - Allowing the trace event filters to filter on CPU number and
     process ids

   - Two new markers for trace output latency were added (10 and 100
     msec latencies)

   - Have tracing_thresh filter function profiling time

  I also worked on modifying the ring buffer code for some future work,
  and moved the adding of the timestamp around.  One of my changes
  caused a regression, and since other changes were built on top of it
  and already tested, I had to operate a revert of that change.  Instead
  of rebasing, this change set has the code that caused a regression as
  well as the code to revert that change without touching the other
  changes that were made on top of it"

ftrace: Fix breakage of set_ftrace_pid

2015-07-24T17:58:14+00:00

Commit 4104d326b670 ("ftrace: Remove global function list and call function
directly") simplified the ftrace code by removing the global_ops list with a
new design. But this cleanup also broke the filtering of PIDs that are added
to the set_ftrace_pid file.

Add back the proper hooks to have pid filtering working once again.
