* tracing: user local buffer variable for trace branch tracerSteven Rostedt2009-10-071-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Just using the tr->buffer for the API to trace_buffer_lock_reserve is not good enough. This is because the tr->buffer may change, and we do not want to commit with a different buffer that we reserved from. This patch uses a local variable to hold the buffer that was used to reserve and commit with. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* | tracing/filters: use ring_buffer_discard_commit() in filter_check_discard()Tom Zanussi2009-04-141-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes filter_check_discard() to make use of the new ring_buffer_discard_commit() function and modifies the current users to call the old commit function in the non-discard case. It also introduces a version of filter_check_discard() that uses the global trace buffer (filter_current_check_discard()) for those cases. v2 changes: - fix compile error noticed by Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com LKML-Reference: <1239178554.10295.36.camel@tropicana> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* | tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT eventsTom Zanussi2009-04-141-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT. It also hooks up all the tracers that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism. When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were - I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file bug reports. ;-) One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output from the events without filters on them can make it look like the filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing. The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g. cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file. If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before they disappear.

* tracing/ftrace: separate events tracing and stats tracing engineFrederic Weisbecker2009-01-141-48/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: tracing's Api change Currently, the stat tracing depends on the events tracing. When you switch to a new tracer, the stats files of the previous tracer will disappear. But it's more scalable to separate those two engines. This way, we can keep the stat files of one or several tracers when we want, without bothering of multiple tracer stat files or tracer switching. To build/destroys its stats files, a tracer just have to call register_stat_tracer/unregister_stat_tracer everytimes it wants to.

* tracing/ftrace: handle more than one stat file per tracerFrederic Weisbecker2009-01-111-41/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: new API for tracers Make the stat tracing API reentrant. And also provide the new directory /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat which will contain all the stat files for the current active tracer. Now a tracer will, if desired, want to provide a zero terminated array of tracer_stat structures. Each one contains the callbacks necessary for one stat file. It have to provide at least a name for its stat file, an iterator with stat_start/start_next callback and an output callback for one stat entry. Also adapt the branch tracer to this new API. We create two files "all" and "annotated" inside the /debugfs/tracing/trace_stat directory, making the both stats simultaneously available instead of needing to change an option to switch from one stat file to another. The output of these stats haven't changed. Changes in v2: _ Apply the previous memory leak fix (rebase against tip/master) Changes in v3: _ Merge the patch that adapted the branch tracer to this Api in this patch to not break the kernel build.

* tracing/branch-tracer: adapt to the stat tracing APIFrederic Weisbecker2008-12-291-126/+142
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: refactor the branch tracer This patch adapts the branch tracer to the tracing API. This is a proof of concept because the branch tracer implements two "stat tracing" that were split in two files. So I added an option to the branch tracer: stat_all_branch. If it is set, then trace_stat will output all of the branches entries stats. Otherwise, it will print the annotated branches. Its is a kind of quick trick, waiting for a better solution. By default, the annotated branches stat are sorted by incorrect branch prediction percentage.

* ftrace: change trace.c to use registered eventsSteven Rostedt2008-12-291-0/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: rework trace.c to use new event register API Almost every ftrace event has to implement its output display in trace.c through a different function. Some events did not handle all the formats (trace, latency-trace, raw, hex, binary), and this method does not scale well. This patch converts the format functions to use the event API to find the event and and print its format. Currently, we have a print function for trace, latency_trace, raw, hex and binary. A trace_nop_print is available if the event wants to avoid output on a particular format. Perhaps other tracers could use this in the future (like mmiotrace and function_graph).

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed. A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie: -ENOMEM) if it fails. If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the error from the init callback. Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

* | tracing/branch-tracer: fix a trace recursion on branch tracerFrederic Weisbecker2008-11-161-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix crash when enabling the branch-tracer When the branch tracer inserts an event through probe_likely_condition(), it calls local_irq_save() and then results in a trace recursion. local_irq_save() -> trace_hardirqs_off() -> trace_hardirqs_off_caller() -> unlikely() The trace_branch.c file is protected by DISABLE_BRANCH_PROFILING but that doesn't prevent from external call to functions that use unlikely(). My box crashed each time I tried to set this tracer (sudden and hard reboot). Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* ftrace: rename trace_unlikely.c fileSteven Rostedt2008-11-121-0/+320
Impact: File name change of trace_unlikely.c The "unlikely" name for the tracer is quite ugly. We renamed all the parts of it to "branch" and now it is time to rename the file too. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
