tracing: Disable ftrace selftests when any tracer is running

2020-12-14T17:05:03+00:00

Disable ftrace selftests when any tracer (kernel command line options
like ftrace=, trace_events=, kprobe_events=, and boot-time tracing)
starts running because selftest can disturb it.

Currently ftrace= and trace_events= are checked, but kprobe_events
has a different flag, and boot-time tracing didn't checked. This unifies
the disabled flag and all of those boot-time tracing features sets
the flag.

This also fixes warnings on kprobe-event selftest
(CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST=y and CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y) with boot-time
tracing (ftrace.event.kprobes.EVENT.probes) like below;

tracing/boot: Add ftrace.instance.*.alloc_snapshot option

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

Add ftrace.instance.*.alloc_snapshot option.

This option has been described in Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst
but not implemented yet.

ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]alloc_snapshot
   Allocate snapshot buffer.

The difference from kernel.alloc_snapshot is that the kernel.alloc_snapshot
will allocate the buffer only for the main instance, but this can allocate
buffer for any new instances.

tracing/boot, kprobe, synth: Initialize boot-time tracing earlier

2020-09-22T01:06:04+00:00

Initialize boot-time tracing in core_initcall_sync instead of
fs_initcall, and initialize required tracers (kprobes and synth)
in core_initcall. This will allow the boot-time tracing to trace
__init code from the beginning of postcore_initcall stage.

tracing/boot: Add per-instance tracing_on option support

2020-09-22T01:06:03+00:00

Add per-instance tracing_on option, which will be useful with
traceon/traceoff event trigger actions. For example, if we
disable tracing_on by default and set traceon and traceoff on
a pair of events, we can trace functions between the pair of
events.

tracing/boottime: Fix kprobe multiple events

2020-06-24T01:51:50+00:00

Fix boottime kprobe events to report and abort after each failure when
adding probes.

As an example, when we try to set multiprobe kprobe events in
bootconfig like this:

ftrace.event.kprobes.vfsevents {
        probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2,,
                 !error! not reported;?", // leads to error
                 "vfs_write $arg1 $arg2"
}

This will not work as expected. After
commit da0f1f4167e3af69e ("tracing/boottime: Fix kprobe event API usage"),
the function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event will not produce any error
message when adding a probe fails at kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start.
Furthermore, we continue to add probes when kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end fails
(and kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start did not fail). In this case the function
even returns successfully when the last call to kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end
is successful.

The behaviour of reporting and aborting after failures is not
consistent.

The function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event now reports each failure and
stops adding probes immediately.

tracing/boot: Fix config dependency for synthedic event

2020-06-24T01:51:22+00:00

Since commit 726721a51838 ("tracing: Move synthetic events to
a separate file") decoupled synthetic event from histogram,
boot-time tracing also has to check CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENT instead
of CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS.

tracing/boottime: Fix kprobe event API usage

2020-05-06T13:04:11+00:00

Fix boottime kprobe events to use API correctly for
multiple events.

For example, when we set a multiprobe kprobe events in
bootconfig like below,

  ftrace.event.kprobes.myevent {
  	probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2", "vfs_write $arg1 $arg2"
  }

This cause an error;

  trace_boot: Failed to add probe: p:kprobes/myevent (null)  vfs_read $arg1 $arg2  vfs_write $arg1 $arg2

This shows the 1st argument becomes NULL and multiprobes
are merged to 1 probe.
