treewide: Convert macro and uses of section(foo) to section("foo")

2020-10-25T21:51:49+00:00

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

tracing: Move is_good_name() from trace_probe.h to trace.h

2020-10-15T16:01:13+00:00

is_good_name() is useful for other trace infrastructure, such as
synthetic events, so make it available via trace.h.

tracing/boot: Initialize per-instance event list in early boot

2020-09-25T19:36:03+00:00

Initialize per-instance event list in early boot time (before
initializing instance directory on tracefs). This fixes boot-time
tracing to correctly handle the boot-time per-instance settings.

tracing: make tracing_init_dentry() returns an integer instead of a d_entry pointer

2020-09-19T02:17:14+00:00

Current tracing_init_dentry() return a d_entry pointer, while is not
necessary. This function returns NULL on success or error on failure,
which means there is no valid d_entry pointer return.

Let's return 0 on success and negative value for error.

ftrace: Fix ftrace_trace_task return value

2020-08-03T20:12:31+00:00

I was attempting to use pid filtering with function_graph, but it wasn't
allowing anything to make it through.  Turns out ftrace_trace_task
returns false if ftrace_ignore_pid is not-empty, which isn't correct
anymore.  We're now setting it to FTRACE_PID_IGNORE if we need to ignore
that pid, otherwise it's set to the pid (which is weird considering the
name) or to FTRACE_PID_TRACE.  Fix the check to check for !=
FTRACE_PID_IGNORE.  With this we can now use function_graph with pid
filtering.

tracing: Move pipe reference to trace array instead of current_tracer

2020-06-30T18:29:33+00:00

If a process has the trace_pipe open on a trace_array, the current tracer
for that trace array should not be changed. This was original enforced by a
global lock, but when instances were introduced, it was moved to the
current_trace. But this structure is shared by all instances, and a
trace_pipe is for a single instance. There's no reason that a process that
has trace_pipe open on one instance should prevent another instance from
changing its current tracer. Move the reference counter to the trace_array
instead.

This is marked as "Fixes" but is more of a clean up than a true fix.
Backport if you want, but its not critical.

tracing: Make ftrace packed events have align of 1

2020-06-17T01:21:02+00:00

When using trace-cmd on 5.6-rt for the function graph tracer, the output was
corrupted. It gave output like this:

 funcgraph_entry:       func=0xffffffff depth=38982
 funcgraph_entry:       func=0x1ffffffff depth=16044
 funcgraph_exit:        func=0xffffffff overrun=0x92539aaf00000000 calltime=0x92539c9900000072 rettime=0x100000072 depth=11084
 funcgraph_exit:        func=0xffffffff overrun=0x9253946e00000000 calltime=0x92539e2100000072 rettime=0x72 depth=26033702
 funcgraph_entry:       func=0xffffffff depth=85798
 funcgraph_entry:       func=0x1ffffffff depth=12044

The reason was because the tracefs/events/ftrace/funcgraph_entry/exit format
file was incorrect. The -rt kernel adds more common fields to the trace
events. Namely, common_migrate_disable and common_preempt_lazy_count. Each
is one byte in size. This changes the alignment of the normal payload. Most
events are aligned normally, but the function and function graph events are
defined with a "PACKED" macro, that packs their payload. As the offsets
displayed in the format files are now calculated by an aligned field, the
aligned field for function and function graph events should be 1, not their
normal alignment.

With aligning of the funcgraph_entry event, the format file has:

        field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4; signed:1;
        field:unsigned char common_migrate_disable;     offset:8;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_lazy_count;  offset:9;       size:1; signed:0;

        field:unsigned long func;       offset:16;      size:8; signed:0;
        field:int depth;        offset:24;      size:4; signed:1;

But the actual alignment is:

	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;	signed:1;
	field:unsigned char common_migrate_disable;	offset:8;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_preempt_lazy_count;	offset:9;	size:1;	signed:0;

	field:unsigned long func;	offset:12;	size:8;	signed:0;
	field:int depth;	offset:20;	size:4;	signed:1;

tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging

2020-06-01T12:22:30+00:00

Add a new "hist_debug" file for each trace event, which when read will
dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers defined
on that event.

This is normally off but can be enabled by saying 'y' to the new
CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG config option.

This is in support of the new Documentation file describing histogram
internals, Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst, which was
requested by developers trying to understand the internals when
extending or making use of the hist triggers for higher-level tools.

The histogram-design.rst documentation refers to the hist_debug files
and demonstrates their use with output in the test examples.
