2009-03-25sched: Define structure to store the sched_domain statistics for fbg()Gautham R Shenoy
Impact: cleanup Currently we use a lot of local variables in find_busiest_group() to capture the various statistics related to the sched_domain. Group them together into a single data structure. This will help us to offload the job of updating the sched_domain statistics to a helper function.

2009-03-25sched: Create a helper function to calculate sched_group stats for fbg()Gautham R Shenoy
Impact: cleanup Create a helper function named update_sg_lb_stats() which can be invoked to calculate the individual group's statistics in find_busiest_group().

2009-03-24dynamic debug: combine dprintk and dynamic printkJason Baron
This patch combines Greg Bank's dprintk() work with the existing dynamic printk patchset, we are now calling it 'dynamic debug'. The new feature of this patchset is a richer /debugfs control file interface, (an example output from my system is at the bottom), which allows fined grained control over the the debug output. The output can be controlled by function, file, module, format string, and line number. for example, enabled all debug messages in module 'nf_conntrack': echo -n 'module nf_conntrack +p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control to disable them: echo -n 'module nf_conntrack -p' > /mnt/debugfs/dynamic_debug/control A further explanation can be found in the documentation patch.

2009-03-24function-graph: add option for include sleep timesSteven Rostedt
Impact: give user a choice to show times spent while sleeping The user may want to see the time a function spent sleeping. This patch adds the trace option "sleep-time" to allow that. The "sleep-time" option is default on. echo sleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options produces: ------------------------------------------ 2) avahi-d-3428 => <idle>-0 ------------------------------------------ 2) | finish_task_switch() { 2) 0.621 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 2) 2.202 us | } 2) ! 1002.197 us | } 2) ! 1003.521 us | } where as, echo nosleep-time > /debug/tracing/trace_options produces: 0) <idle>-0 => yum-upd-3416 ------------------------------------------ 0) | finish_task_switch() { 0) 0.643 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 0) 2.342 us | } 0) + 41.302 us | } 0) + 42.453 us | } Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-24function-graph: ignore times across scheduleSteven Rostedt

This shows functions that call schedule have increased costs: 3) + 18.664 us | } ------------------------------------------ 3) <idle>-0 => kblockd-123 ------------------------------------------ 3) | finish_task_switch() { 3) 1.441 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 3) 3.966 us | } 3) ! 2959.433 us | } 3) ! 2961.465 us | } This patch uses the tracepoint in the scheduling context switch to account for time that has elapsed while a task is scheduled out. Now we see: ------------------------------------------ 3) <idle>-0 => edac-po-1067 ------------------------------------------ 3) | finish_task_switch() { 3) 0.685 us | _spin_unlock_irq(); 3) 2.331 us | } 3) + 41.439 us | } 3) + 42.663 us | } Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-24function-graph: prevent more than one tracer registeringSteven Rostedt

2009-03-24tracing: fix memory leak in trace_statSteven Rostedt
If the function profiler does not have any items recorded and one were to cat the function stat file, the kernel would take a BUG with a NULL pointer dereference. Looking further into this, I found that returning NULL from stat_start did not stop the stat logic, and would later call stat_next. This breaks from the way seq_file works, so I looked into fixing the stat code. This is where I noticed that the last next_entry is never freed. It is allocated, and if the stat_next returns NULL, the code breaks out of the loop, unlocks the mutex and exits. We never link the next_entry nor do we free it. Thus it is a real memory leak. This patch rearranges the code a bit to not only fix the memory leak, but also to act more like seq_file where nothing is printed if there is nothing to print. That is, stat_start returns NULL.

2009-03-23tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix functions call traces imbalanceFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix traces output Sometimes one can observe an imbalance in the traces between function calls and function return traces: func1() { } } The curly brace inside func1() is the return of another function nested inside func1. The return trace have been inserted in the buffer but not the entry. We are storing a return address on the function traces stack while we haven't inserted its entry on the buffer, hence the imbalance on the traces. This is because the tracers doesn't check all failures that can happen on buffer insertion. This patch reports the tracing recursion failures and the ring buffer failures. In such cases, we now restore the original return address for the function, giving up its return trace.

2009-03-23tracing: Fix TRACING_SUPPORT dependency for PPC32Anton Vorontsov
commit 40ada30f9621fbd831ac2437b9a2a399aa ("tracing: clean up menu"), despite the "clean up" in its purpose, introduced a behavioural change for Kconfig symbols: we no longer able to select tracing support on PPC32 (because IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT isn't yet implemented). The IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is not mandatory for most tracers, tracing core has a special case for platforms w/o irqflags (which, by the way, has become useless as of the commit above). Though according to Ingo Molnar, there was periodic build failures on weird, unmaintained architectures that had no irqflags-tracing support and hence didn't know the raw_irqs_save/restore primitives. Thus we'd better not enable irqflags-less tracing for all architectures. This patch restores the old behaviour for PPC32, and thus brings the tracing back. Other architectures can either add themselves to the exception list or (better) implement TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT.

2009-03-23posix timers: fix RLIMIT_CPU && fork()Oleg Nesterov
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911 copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other cpu timers. This is the minimal fix for 2.6.29 (tested) and 2.6.28. The patch is not optimal, we need further cleanups here. With this patch update_rlimit_cpu() is not really needed, but I don't think it should be removed. The proper fix (I think) is: - set_process_cpu_timer() should just start the cputimer->running logic (it does), no need to change cputime_expires.xxx_exp - posix_cpu_timers_init_group() should set ->running when needed - fastpath_timer_check() can check ->running instead of task_cputime_zero(signal->cputime_expires) Reported-by: Peter Lojkin <ia6432@inbox.ru> Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> [for 2.6.29.x] LKML-Reference: <20090323193411.GA17514@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-03-23fix ptrace slownessMiklos Szeredi
This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

2009-03-23tracing/ftrace: check if debugfs is registered before creating filesFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers, they will attempt to create their option directory and files. But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned as "boot tracers" very early if asked to. Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall), a crash is triggered. Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root tracing directory.

2009-03-23tracing/events: don't discard an event after commitFrederic Weisbecker
When we want to filter an event, the filter test is done after the event is commited to the ring-buffer to be discarded later if needed. But a reader could be reading this event while we are trying to discard it. Other kind of racy events can even happen because the event is commited and can be read and/or consumed.

2009-03-23tracing/ftrace: make nop-tracer use polling wait for events on pipeFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: display events when they arrive Now that the events don't use wake_up() anymore, we need the nop tracer to poll waiting for events on the pipe. Especially because nop is useful to look at orphan traces types (traces types that don't rely on specific tracers) because it doesn't produce traces itself. And unlike other tracers that trigger specific traces periodically, nop triggers no traces by itself that can wake him.

2009-03-23tracing/events: don't use wake up for eventsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: fix hard-lockup with sched switch events Some ftrace events, such as sched wakeup, can be traced while the runqueue lock is hold. Since they are using trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit(), they call wake_up() which can try to grab the runqueue lock too, resulting in a deadlock. Now for all event, we call a new helper: trace_nowake_buffer_unlock_commit() which do pretty the same than trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit() except than it doesn't call trace_wake_up().

2009-03-22tracing: add per-subsystem filteringTom Zanussi
This patch adds per-subsystem filtering to the event tracing subsystem. It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each subsystem directory. This file can be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the current set of filters set for that subsystem. Basically what it does is propagate the filter down to each event contained in the subsystem. If a particular event doesn't have a field with the name specified in the filter, it simply doesn't get set for that event. You can verify whether or not the filter was set for a particular event by looking at the filter file for that event. As with per-event filters, compound expressions are supported, echoing '0' to the subsystem's filter file clears all filters in the subsystem, etc. Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tzanussi@gmail.com> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <1237710677.7703.49.camel@charm-linux> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-03-22tracing: add per-event filteringTom Zanussi
This patch adds per-event filtering to the event tracing subsystem. It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each event directory. This file can be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the current set of filters set for that event. Basically, any field listed in the 'format' file for an event can be filtered on (including strings, but not yet other array types) using either matching ('==') or non-matching ('!=') 'predicates'. A 'predicate' can be either a single expression: # echo pid != 0 > filter # cat filter pid != 0 or a compound expression of up to 8 sub-expressions combined using '&&' or '||': # echo comm == Xorg > filter # echo "&& sig != 29" > filter # cat filter comm == Xorg && sig != 29 Only events having field values matching an expression will be available in the trace output; non-matching events are discarded. Note that a compound expression is built up by echoing each sub-expression separately - it's not the most efficient way to do things, but it keeps the parser simple and assumes that compound expressions will be relatively uncommon. In any case, a subsequent patch introducing a way to set filters for entire subsystems should mitigate any need to do this for lots of events. Setting a filter without an '&&' or '||' clears the previous filter completely and sets the filter to the new expression: # cat filter comm == Xorg && sig != 29 # echo comm != Xorg # cat filter comm != Xorg To clear a filter, echo 0 to the filter file: # echo 0 > filter # cat filter none The limit of 8 predicates for a compound expression is arbitrary - for efficiency, it's implemented as an array of pointers to predicates, and 8 seemed more than enough for any filter...

2009-03-22tracing: add run-time field descriptions for event filteringTom Zanussi
This patch makes the field descriptions defined for event tracing available at run-time, for the event-filtering mechanism introduced in a subsequent patch. The common event fields are prepended with 'common_' in the format display, allowing them to be distinguished from the other fields that might internally have same name and can therefore be unambiguously used in filters.

2009-03-22tracing/function-graph-tracer: prevent hangs during self-testsFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: detect tracing related hangs Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless loop of timer interrupts servicing. As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely disabling this tracer. For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump the traces after this hang detection.
