tracing: Turn seq_print_user_ip() into a static function

2015-09-28T14:16:12+00:00

seq_print_user_ip() is used in only one location in one file. Turn it into a
static function. We could inject its code into the caller, but that would
make the code a bit too complex. Keep the code separate.

tracing: Inject seq_print_userip_objs() into its only user

2015-09-28T14:11:44+00:00

seq_print_userip_objs() is used only in one location, in one file. Instead
of having it as an external function, go one further than making it static,
but inject is code into its only user. It doesn't make the calling function
much more complex.

tracing: Rename (un)register_ftrace_event() to (un)register_trace_event()

2015-05-13T18:05:14+00:00

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It
is not about the trace_events. The functions (un)register_ftrace_event() is
really about trace_events, and the name should be register_trace_event()
instead.

Also renamed ftrace_event_reg() to trace_event_reg() for the same reason.

tracing: Add trace_seq_has_overflowed() and trace_handle_return()

2014-11-19T20:25:39+00:00

Adding a trace_seq_has_overflowed() which returns true if the trace_seq
had too much written into it allows us to simplify the code.

Instead of checking the return value of every call to trace_seq_printf()
and friends, they can all be called normally, and at the end we can
return !trace_seq_has_overflowed() instead.

Several functions also return TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE when the trace_seq
overflowed and TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED otherwise. Another helper function
was created called trace_handle_return() which takes a trace_seq and
returns these enums. Using this helper function also simplifies the
code.

This change also makes it possible to remove the return values of
trace_seq_printf() and friends. They should instead just be
void functions.

tracing: Make trace_seq_putmem_hex() more robust

2014-07-01T11:13:37+00:00

Currently trace_seq_putmem_hex() can only take as a parameter a pointer
to something that is 8 bytes or less, otherwise it will overflow the
buffer. This is protected by a macro that encompasses the call to
trace_seq_putmem_hex() that has a BUILD_BUG_ON() for the variable before
it is passed in. This is not very robust and if trace_seq_putmem_hex() ever
gets used outside that macro it will cause issues.

Instead of only being able to produce a hex output of memory that is for
a single word, change it to be more robust and allow any size input.

tracing: Move the trace_seq_* functions into its own trace_seq.c file

2014-07-01T11:13:35+00:00

The trace_seq_*() functions are a nice utility that allows users to manipulate
buffers with printf() like formats. It has its own trace_seq.h header in
include/linux and should be in its own file. Being tied with trace_output.c
is rather awkward.

tracing: Rename trace_event_mutex to trace_event_sem

trace_event_mutex is an rw semaphore now, not a mutex, change the name.

tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracing

2013-03-15T04:35:55+00:00

The trace_printk() is extremely fast and is very handy as it can be
used in any context (including NMIs!). But it still requires scanning
the fmt string for parsing the args. Even the trace_bprintk() requires
a scan to know what args will be saved, although it doesn't copy the
format string itself.

Several times trace_printk() has no args, and wastes cpu cycles scanning
the fmt string.

Adding trace_puts() allows the developer to use an even faster
tracing method that only saves the pointer to the string in the
ring buffer without doing any format parsing at all. This will
help remove even more of the "Heisenbug" effect, when debugging.

Also fixed up the F_printk()s for the ftrace internal bprint and print events.

tracing: Allow events to share their print functions

2010-05-14T18:20:32+00:00

Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
that will hold the way to print ouf the event.

The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
function know what kind of event it should print.

This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
their output.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4900382	1048964	 861512	6810858	 67ecea	vmlinux.init
4900446	1049028	 861512	6810986	 67ed6a	vmlinux.preprint

This change slightly increases the size but is needed for the next change.

v3: Fix the branch tracer events to handle this change.

v2: Fix the new function graph tracer event calls to handle this change.

tracing: consolidate code between trace_output.c and trace_function_graph.c

2009-09-11T18:24:13+00:00

Both trace_output.c and trace_function_graph.c do basically the same
thing to handle the printing of the latency-format. This patch moves
the code into one function that both can use.
