tracing: Record and show NMI state

2016-03-22T22:04:10+00:00

The latency tracer format has a nice column to indicate IRQ state, but
this is not able to tell us about NMI state.

When tracing perf interrupt handlers (which often run in NMI context)
it is very useful to see how the events nest.

tracing: Use flags instead of bool in trigger structure

2016-03-08T16:19:36+00:00

gcc isn't known for handling bool in structures. Instead of using bool, use
an integer mask and use bit flags instead.

tracing: Add an unreg_all() callback to trigger commands

2016-03-08T16:19:35+00:00

Add a new unreg_all() callback that can be used to remove all
command-specific triggers from an event and arrange to have it called
whenever a trigger file is opened with O_TRUNC set.

Commands that don't want truncate semantics, or existing commands that
don't implement this function simply do nothing and their triggers
remain intact.

tracing: Add needs_rec flag to event triggers

2016-03-08T16:19:34+00:00

Add a new needs_rec flag for triggers that require unconditional
access to trace records in order to function.

Normally a trigger requires access to the contents of a trace record
only if it has a filter associated with it (since filters need the
contents of a record in order to make a filtering decision).  Some
types of triggers, such as 'hist' triggers, require access to trace
record contents independent of the presence of filters, so add a new
flag for those triggers.

tracing: Add a per-event-trigger 'paused' field

2016-03-08T16:19:33+00:00

Add a simple per-trigger 'paused' flag, allowing individual triggers
to pause.  We could leave it to individual triggers that need this
functionality to do it themselves, but we also want to allow other
events to control pausing, so add it to the trigger data.

tracing: Make tracer_flags use the right set_flag callback

2016-03-08T16:19:08+00:00

When I was updating the ftrace_stress test of ltp. I encountered
a strange phenomemon, excute following steps:

echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-cpu
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

check dmesg:
[ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the result

The reason is that the trace option test will randomly setup trace
option under tracing/options no matter what the current_tracer is.
but the set_tracer_option is always using the set_flag callback
from the current_tracer. This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags
and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is
setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter
what the the current_tracer is.

And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which
doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the
pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags
for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no
tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code.

And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as
it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.
