The sign info used for filters in the kernel is also useful to
applications that process the trace stream. Add it to the format
files and make it available to userspace.

The state char variable S should be reassigned, if S == 0.
We are missing the state of the task that is going to sleep for the
context switch events (in the raw mode).
Fortunately the problem arises with the sched_switch/wake_up
tracers, not the sched trace events.
The formers are legacy now. But still, that was buggy.

In the event->profile_enable() failure path, we release the per cpu

This patch provides basic support for regular expressions in filters.
It supports the following types of regexp:
- *match_beginning
- *match_middle*
- match_end*
- !don't match
Example:
cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl/lock_kernel
echo 'file == "*reiserfs*"' > filter
echo 1 > enable
gedit-4941 [000] 457.735437: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/namei.c:334 reiserfs_lookup()
sync_supers-227 [001] 461.379985: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/super.c:69 reiserfs_sync_fs()
sync_supers-227 [000] 461.383096: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/journal.c:1069 flush_commit_list()
reiserfs/1-1369 [001] 461.479885: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/journal.c:3509 flush_async_commits()
Every string is now handled as a regexp in the filter framework, which
helps to factorize the code for handling both simple strings and
regexp comparisons.
(The regexp parsing code has been wildly cherry picked from ftrace.c
written by Steve.)

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

Currently the trace event profile buffer is allocated in the stack. But
this may be too much for the stack, as the events can have large
statically defined field size and can also grow with dynamic arrays.
Allocate two per cpu buffer for all profiled events. The first cpu
buffer is used to host every non-nmi context traces. It is protected
by disabling the interrupts while writing and committing the trace.
The second buffer is reserved for nmi. So that there is no race between
them and the first buffer.
The whole write/commit section is rcu protected because we release
these buffers while deactivating the last profiling trace event.
v2: Move the buffers from trace_event to be global, as pointed by
Steven Rostedt.
v3: Fix the syscall events to handle the profiling buffer races
by disabling interrupts, now that the buffers are globals.

Parag noticed that the number of event tests has increased tremendously:
grep "Testing event" dmesg.31rc9 |wc -l
100
grep "Testing event" dmesg.31git |wc -l
1172
This is due to the testing of every syscall event when ftrace self
test is enabled. This adds a bit more time to kernel boot up and can
affect development by slowing down the time it takes between reboots.
This option makes the testing of the syscall events into a separate
config, to still be able to test most of ftrace internals at boot up
but not have to wait for all the syscall events to be tested.
The syscall event testing only tests the enabling and disabling of
the trace point, since the syscalls are not executed. What really needs
to be done is to somehow have a userspace tool test the syscall tracepoints
as well.

The cmpxchg used by PowerPC does the following:
({ \
__typeof__(*(ptr)) _o_ = (o); \
__typeof__(*(ptr)) _n_ = (n); \
(__typeof__(*(ptr))) __cmpxchg((ptr), (unsigned long)_o_, \
(unsigned long)_n_, sizeof(*(ptr))); \
})
This does a type check of *ptr to both o and n.
Unfortunately, the code in ring-buffer.c assigns longs to pointers
and pointers to longs and causes a warning on PowerPC:
ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_set':
ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
ring_buffer.c:704: warning: initialization makes pointer from integer without a cast
ring_buffer.c: In function 'rb_head_page_replace':
ring_buffer.c:797: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
This patch adds the typecasts inside cmpxchg to annotate that a long is
being cast to a pointer and a pointer is being casted to a long and this
removes the PowerPC warnings.

Some of the internal ftrace structures use structures within. The
output of a field saying it is just a structure is useless for a format

describe the structures inside a structure.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The entries used by ftrace internal code (plugins) currently have their
formats manually exported to userspace. That is, the format files in
debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are currently created by hand.
This is a maintenance nightmare, and can easily become out of sync
with what is actually shown.
This patch uses the methodology of the TRACE_EVENT macros to build
the structures so that their formats can be automated and this
will keep the structures in sync with what users can see.
This patch only changes the way the structures are created. Further
patches will build off of this to automate the format files.

Add argument name assignment support and remove "alias" lines from format.
This allows user to assign unique name to each argument. For example,
$ echo p do_sys_open dfd=a0 filename=a1 flags=a2 mode=a3 > kprobe_events
This assigns dfd, filename, flags, and mode to 1st - 4th arguments
respectively. Trace buffer shows those names too.
<...>-1439 [000] 1200885.933147: do_sys_open+0x0/0xdf: dfd=ffffff9c filename=bfa898ac flags=8000 mode=0
This helps users to know what each value means.
Users can filter each events by these names too. Note that you can not
filter by argN anymore.

The wakeup tracer, when enabled, has its own function tracer.
It only traces the functions on the CPU where the task it is following
is on. If a task is woken on one CPU but then migrates to another CPU
before it wakes up, the latency tracer will then start tracing functions
on the other CPU.
To find which CPU the task is on, the wakeup function tracer performs
a task_cpu(wakeup_task). But to make sure the task does not disappear
it grabs the wakeup_lock, which is also taken when the task wakes up.
By taking this lock, the function tracer does not need to worry about
the task being freed as it checks its cpu.
Jan Blunck found a problem with this approach on his 32 CPU box. When
a task is being traced by the wakeup tracer, all functions take this
lock. That means that on all 32 CPUs, each function call is taking
this one lock to see if the task is on that CPU. This lock has just
serialized all functions on all 32 CPUs. Needless to say, this caused
major issues on that box. It would even lockup.
This patch changes the wakeup latency to insert a probe on the migrate task
tracepoint. When a task changes its CPU that it will run on, the
probe will take note. Now the wakeup function tracer no longer needs
to take the lock. It only compares the current CPU with a variable that
holds the current CPU the task is on. We don't worry about races since
it is OK to add or miss a function trace.

rb_buffer_peek() operates with struct ring_buffer_per_cpu *cpu_buffer

Because the irqsoff tracer can swap an internal CPU buffer, it is possible

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.

Reseting the trace buffer without first disabling the buffer and
waiting for any writers to complete, can corrupt the ring buffer.
This patch makes the external version of tracing_reset safe from
corruption by disabling the ring buffer and calling synchronize_sched.
This version can no longer be called from interrupt context. But all those
callers have been removed.

Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately
if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt
the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect
the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer.
The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing
after the bug is hit.
Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of
the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous
data, but the output will not count any data that is before the
timestamp of the trace.
Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the
runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not
make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

The predicates of an event and their filter structure are allocated
when we create an event filter for the first time.
These objects must be created once but each time we come with a new
filter, we overwrite such pre-existing allocation, if any.
Thus, this patch checks if the filter has already been allocated
before going ahead.

The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.
The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.
The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.
This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency
tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the
following patches.

Resetting the ring buffers while traces are happening can corrupt

The safest thing to do is disable the ring buffers, call synchronize_sched()

During development of the tracer, we would copy information from
the live tracer to the max tracer with one memcpy. Since then we
added a generic ring buffer and we handle the copies differently now.
Unfortunately, we never copied the critical section information, and
we lost the output:
# => started at: kmem_cache_alloc
# => ended at: kmem_cache_alloc
This patch adds back the critical start and end copying as well as
removes the unused "trace_idx" and "overrun" fields of the
trace_array_cpu structure.

Currently the way RB_WARN_ON works, is to disable either the current
CPU buffer or all CPU buffers, depending on whether a ring_buffer or
ring_buffer_per_cpu struct was passed into the macro.
Most users of the RB_WARN_ON pass in the CPU buffer, so only the one
CPU buffer gets disabled but the rest are still active. This may
confuse users even though a warning is sent to the console.
This patch changes the macro to disable the entire buffer even if
the CPU buffer is passed in.

The latency tracers report the number of items in the trace buffer.
This uses the ring buffer data to calculate this. Because discarded
events are also counted, the numbers do not match the number of items
that are printed. The ring buffer also adds a "padding" item to the
end of each buffer page which also gets counted as a discarded item.
This patch decrements the counter to the page entries on a discard.
This allows us to ignore discarded entries while reading the buffer.
Decrementing the counter is still safe since it can only happen while
the committing flag is still set.

The function ring_buffer_event_discard can be used on any item in the
ring buffer, even after the item was committed. This function provides
no safety nets and is very race prone.
An item may be safely removed from the ring buffer before it is committed
with the ring_buffer_discard_commit.
Since there are currently no users of this function, and because this
function is racey and error prone, this patch removes it altogether.
Note, removing this function also allows the counters to ignore
all discarded events (patches will follow).

When the ring buffer uses an iterator (static read mode, not on the
fly reading), when it crosses a page boundery, it will skip the first
entry on the next page. The reason is that the last entry of a page
is usually padding if the page is not full. The padding will not be
returned to the user.
The problem arises on ring_buffer_read because it also increments the
iterator. Because both the read and peek use the same rb_iter_peek,
the rb_iter_peak will return the padding but also increment to the next
item. This is because the ring_buffer_peek will not incerment it
itself.
The ring_buffer_read will increment it again and then call rb_iter_peek
again to get the next item. But that will be the second item, not the
first one on the page.
The reason this never showed up before, is because the ftrace utility
always calls ring_buffer_peek first and only uses ring_buffer_read
to increment to the next item. The ring_buffer_peek will always keep
the pointer to a valid item and not padding. This just hid the bug.

The loops in the ring buffer that use cpu_relax are not dependent on
other CPUs. They simply came across some padding in the ring buffer and
are skipping over them. It is a normal loop and does not require a

init_preds() allocates about 5392 bytes of memory (on x86_32) for
a TRACE_EVENT. With my config, at system boot total memory occupied
is:
5392 * (642 + 15) == 3459KB
642 == cat available_events | wc -l
15 == number of dirs in events/ftrace
That's quite a lot, so we'd better defer memory allocation util

Add kprobes-based event tracer on ftrace.
This tracer is similar to the events tracer which is based on Tracepoint
infrastructure. Instead of Tracepoint, this tracer is based on kprobes
(kprobe and kretprobe). It probes anywhere where kprobes can probe(this
means, all functions body except for __kprobes functions).
Similar to the events tracer, this tracer doesn't need to be activated
via current_tracer, instead of that, just set probe points via
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events. And you can set filters on each
probe events via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/<EVENT>/filter.
This tracer supports following probe arguments for each probe.
%REG : Fetch register REG
sN : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0)
sa : Fetch stack address.
@ADDR : Fetch memory at ADDR (ADDR should be in kernel)
@SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)
aN : Fetch function argument. (N >= 0)
rv : Fetch return value.
ra : Fetch return address.
+|-offs(FETCHARG) : fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address.
See Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt in the next patch for details.
Changes from v13:
- Support 'sa' for stack address.
- Use call->data instead of container_of() macro.

Most arch syscall_get_nr() implementations returns -1 if the syscall
number is not valid. Accessing the bit field without a check might
result in a kernel oops (at least I saw it on s390 for ftrace selftest).
Before this change, this problem did not occur, because the invalid
syscall number (-1) caused syscall_nr_to_meta() to return NULL.
There are at least two scenarios where syscall_get_nr() can return -1:
1. For example, ptrace stores an invalid syscall number, and thus,
tracing code resets it.
(see do_syscall_trace_enter in arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c)
2. The syscall_regfunc() (kernel/tracepoint.c) sets the
TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE (now: TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) flag for all threads
which include kernel threads.
However, the ftrace selftest triggers a kernel oops when testing
syscall trace points:
- The kernel thread is started as ususal (do_fork()),
- tracing code sets TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE,
- the ret_from_fork() function is triggered and starts
ftrace_syscall_exit() with an invalid syscall number.
To avoid these scenarios, I suggest to check the syscall_nr.
For instance, the ftrace selftest fails for s390 (with config option
CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS set) and produces the following kernel oops.
Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address 2000000000

There are many clock sources for the tracing system but we can only
enable/disable one at a time with the trace/options file.
We can move the setting of clock-source out of options and add a separate
file for it:
# cat trace_clock
[local] global
# echo global > trace_clock
# cat trace_clock
local [global]

Usually, char * entries are dangerous in traces because the string
can be released whereas a pointer to it can still wait to be read from
the ring buffer.
But sometimes we can assume it's safe, like in case of RO data
(eg: __file__ or __line__, used in bkl trace event). If these RO data
are in a module and so is the call to the trace event, then it's safe,
because the ring buffer will be flushed once this module get unloaded.
To allow char * to be treated as a string:
TRACE_EVENT(...,
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field_ext(const char *, name, FILTER_PTR_STRING)
...
)
...
);
The filtering will not dereference "char *" unless the developer
explicitly sets FILTER_PTR_STR in __field_ext.

Add __field_ext(), so a field can be assigned to a specific
filter_type, which matches a corresponding filter function.
For example, a later patch will allow this:
__field_ext(const char *, str, FILTER_PTR_STR);

The type of a field is stored as a string in @type, and here
we add @filter_type which is an enum value.
This prepares for later patches, so we can specifically assign
different @filter_type for the same @type.
For example normally a "char *" field is treated as a ptr,
but we may want it to be treated as a string when doing filting.

This converts the syscall_enter/exit tracepoints into TRACE_EVENTs, so
you can have generic ftrace events that capture all system calls with
arguments and return values. These generic events are also renamed to
sys_enter/exit, so they're more closely aligned to the specific
sys_enter_foo events.

The syscall enter/exit tracing is no longer specific to just ftrace, so
they now have names that reflect their tie to tracepoints instead.

The "format" file of a trace event is originally for parsers to
parse ftrace binary output.
But the "format" file of a syscall event can only be used by
perfcounter, because it describes the format of struct
syscall_enter_record not struct syscall_trace_enter.
To fix this, we remove struct syscall_enter_record, and then
struct syscall_trace_enter will be used by both perf profile
and ftrace.

"echo noglobal-clock > trace_options" can be used to change trace
clock but "echo 0 > options/global-clock" can't. The flag toggling
will be silently accepted without actually changing the clock callback.
We can fix it by using set_tracer_flags() in
trace_options_core_write().
