* tracing, ring-buffer: add paranoid checks for loopsSteven Rostedt2008-11-031-0/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While writing a new tracer, I had a bug where I caused the ring-buffer to recurse in a bad way. The bug was with the tracer I was writing and not the ring-buffer itself. But it took a long time to find the problem. This patch adds paranoid checks into the ring-buffer infrastructure that will catch bugs of this nature. Note: I put the bug back in the tracer and this patch showed the error nicely and prevented the lockup. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* ftrace: use kretprobe trampoline name to test in outputSteven Rostedt2008-11-031-18/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: ia64+tracing build fix When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. This caused the output of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this "kprobe_trampoline" function. To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead. Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds. This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.

* tracing, alpha: undefined reference to `save_stack_trace'Al Viro2008-11-032-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: build fix on !stacktrace architectures only select STACKTRACE on architectures that have STACKTRACE_SUPPORT ... since we also need to ifdef out the guts of ftrace_trace_stack(). We also want to disallow setting TRACE_ITER_STACKTRACE in trace_flags on such configs, but that can wait.

* reserve_region_with_split: Fix GFP_KERNEL usage under spinlockLinus Torvalds2008-11-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This one apparently doesn't generate any warnings, because the function is only used during system bootup, when the warnings are disabled. But it's still very wrong. The __reserve_region_with_split() function is called with the resource_lock held for writing, so it must only ever do GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

Ftrace uses this information to display to the user if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled. Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing the real answer. This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those same archs compile with tracing enabled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: corrects a bug which made the non-dyn function tracer not functional With latest git, the non-dynamic function tracer didn't get any trace. The problem was the fact that ftrace_enabled wasn't initialized to 1 because ftrace hasn't any init function when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is disabled. So when a tracer tries to register an ftrace_ops struct, __register_ftrace_function failed to set the hook. This patch corrects it by setting an init function to initialize ftrace during the boot.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The commit (in linux-tip) c2931e05ec5965597cbfb79ad332d4a29aeceb23 ( ftrace: return an error when setting a nonexistent tracer ) added useful code that would error when a bad tracer was written into the current_tracer file. But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny thing is that the tracer would have already been set. This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

This patch renames the "ftrace" function tracer to "function". Now in available_tracers, instead of "ftrace" there will be "function". This makes more sense, since people will not know exactly what the "ftrace" tracer does. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| | * | ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACERSteven Rostedt2008-10-209-22/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER. The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same. This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of tracers have HAVE_FTRACE as a dependent config where it really should not. The HAVE_FTRACE is a misnomer (soon to be fixed) and describes if the architecture has the function tracer (mcount) implemented. The ftrace infrastructure is implemented in all archs.

| | * | ftrace: release functions from hashSteven Rostedt2008-10-201-0/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The x86 architecture uses a static recording of mcount caller locations and is not affected by this patch. For architectures still using the dynamic ftrace daemon, this patch is critical. It removes the race between the recording of a function that calls mcount, the unloading of a module, and the ftrace daemon updating the call sites. This patch adds the releasing of the hash functions that the daemon uses to update the mcount call sites. When a module is unloaded, not only are the replaced call site table update, but now so is the hash recorded functions that the ftrace daemon will use. Again, architectures that implement MCOUNT_RECORD are not affected by this (which currently only x86 has).

However these functions use __builtin_return_address(0) to figure out which function actually disabled or enabled irqs. The result is that we save the ips of trace_hardirqs_on/off instead of the real caller. Not very helpful. However since the patch from Steven the ip already gets passed. So use that and get rid of __builtin_return_address(0) in these two functions. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
