tracing: add filter event logic to special, mmiotrace and boot tracers

2009-09-13T03:34:04+00:00

Now that the pluging tracers use macros to create the structures and
automate the exporting of their formats to the format files, they also
automatically get a filter file.

This patch adds the code to implement the filter logic in the trace
recordings.

tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer

2009-09-04T22:59:39+00:00

The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.

This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

tracing: use macros to denote usec and nsec per second

2009-04-07T12:43:06+00:00

Impact: cleanup

Use USEC_PER_SEC and NSEC_PER_SEC instead of 1000000 and 1000000000.

tracing: remove recording function depth from trace_printk

2009-03-19T19:58:47+00:00

The function depth in trace_printk was to facilitate the function
graph output. Now that the function graph calculates the depth within
the trace output, we no longer need to record the depth when the
trace_printk is called.

tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats strings

2009-03-13T01:15:00+00:00

Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings

Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static
containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is
assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic
formats.

So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers
that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format
strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation
for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will
still be used.

The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old
implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't
guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not.

Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably
the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of trace_bprintk()

2009-03-06T16:59:12+00:00

Impact: faster and lighter tracing

Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser
memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop
the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(),
which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to
trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use
trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries.

Some changes result of this:

- Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't
  work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation
  of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated
  in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file
  trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module
  management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c

- changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries.

- change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats
  constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for
  developers.

- etc...

V2:

- Rebase against last changes
- Fix mispell on the changelog

V3:

- Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h)

tracing: Introduce trace_buffer_{lock_reserve,unlock_commit}

2009-02-06T00:01:41+00:00

Impact: new API

These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing
the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about.

It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and
other trace options we may introduce in the future.

With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already
in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options
facility.

mmiotrace: count events lost due to not recording

2009-01-11T03:01:30+00:00

Impact: enhances lost events counting in mmiotrace

The tracing framework, or the ring buffer facility it uses, has a switch
to stop recording data. When recording is off, the trace events will be
lost. The framework does not count these, so mmiotrace has to count them
itself.
