From 96a2c464de07d7c72988db851c029b204fc59108 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2009 01:34:24 +0200 Subject: tracing/bkl: Add bkl ftrace events Add two events lock_kernel and unlock_kernel() to trace the bkl uses. This opens the door for userspace tools to perform statistics about the callsites that use it, dependencies with other locks (by pairing the trace with lock events), use with recursivity and so on... The {__reacquire,release}_kernel_lock() events are not traced because these are called from schedule, thus the sched events are sufficient to trace them. Example of a trace: hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 165.875501: unlock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1358 __blkdev_put() hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 167.832974: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1167 __blkdev_get() How to get the callsites that acquire it recursively: cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl echo "lock_depth > 0" > filter firefox-4951 [001] 206.276967: unlock_kernel: depth: 1, fs/reiserfs/super.c:575 reiserfs_dirty_inode() You can also filter by file and/or line. v2: Use of FILTER_PTR_STRING attribute for files and lines fields to make them traceable.
