Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings
Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static
containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is
assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic
formats.
So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers
that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format
strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation
for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will
still be used.
The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old
implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't
guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not.
Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably
the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

Impact: faster and lighter tracing
Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser
memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop
the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(),
which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to
trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use
trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries.
Some changes result of this:
- Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't
work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation
of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated
in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file
trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module
management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c
- changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries.
- change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats
constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for
developers.
- etc...
V2:
- Rebase against last changes
- Fix mispell on the changelog
V3:
- Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h)

Impact: api and pipe waiting change
Currently, the waiting used in tracing_read_pipe() is done through a
100 msecs schedule_timeout() loop which periodically check if there
are traces on the buffer.
This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming
events.
This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except
for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be
already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader.
This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer.
If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for
trace_wait queue is attached.

When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets:
function();
whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following:
function() {
}
This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files.
On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can
check the next entry.
There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked
and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while
we don't consume it.
This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing
core to not consume the current entry after printing it.
We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check
the next one.
Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

This patch brings various bugfixes:
- Drop the first irrelevant task switch on the very beginning of a trace.
- Drop the OVERHEAD word from the headers, the DURATION word is sufficient
and will not overlap other columns.
- Make the headers fit well their respective columns whatever the
selected options.
Ie, default options:
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |
1) 0.646 us | }
1) | mem_cgroup_del_lru_list() {
1) 0.624 us | lookup_page_cgroup();
1) 1.970 us | }
echo funcgraph-proc > trace_options

0) bash-2937 | 0.864 us | conv_uni_to_pc();
0) bash-2937 | 1.015 us | __rcu_read_lock();
echo nofuncgraph-cpu > trace_options
echo nofuncgraph-proc > trace_options
# tracer: function_graph
#
# DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | |
3.752 us | native_pud_val();
0.616 us | native_pud_val();
0.624 us | native_pmd_val();
About features, one can now disable the duration (this will hide the
overhead too for convenient reasons and because on doesn't need
overhead if it hasn't the duration):
echo nofuncgraph-duration > trace_options
# tracer: function_graph
#
# FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | |
cap_vm_enough_memory() {
__vm_enough_memory() {
vm_acct_memory();
}
}
}
And at last, an option to print the absolute time:
//Restart from default options
echo funcgraph-abstime > trace_options
# tracer: function_graph
#
# TIME CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | | |
261.339774 | 1) + 42.823 us | }
261.339775 | 1) 1.045 us | _spin_lock_irq();
261.339777 | 1) 0.940 us | _spin_lock_irqsave();
261.339778 | 1) 0.752 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore();
261.339780 | 1) 0.857 us | _spin_unlock_irq();

261.339786 | 1) 0.842 us | _spin_unlock_irqrestore();
261.339788 | 1) 4.211 us | }
261.339788 | 1) 5.662 us | }
The format is seconds.usecs.
I guess no one needs the nanosec precision here, the main goal is to have
an overview about the general timings of events, and to see the place when
the trace switches from one cpu to another.
ie:
274.874760 | 1) 0.676 us | _spin_unlock();
274.874762 | 1) 0.609 us | native_load_sp0();
274.874763 | 1) 0.602 us | native_load_tls();
274.878739 | 0) 0.722 us | }
274.878740 | 0) 0.714 us | native_pmd_val();
274.878741 | 0) 0.730 us | native_pmd_val();
Here there is a 4000 usecs difference when we switch the cpu.

Handle the TRACE_PRINT entries from the function grapg tracer
and output them as a C comment just below the function that called
it, as if it was a comment inside this function.
Example with an ftrace_printk inside might_sleep() function:
void __might_sleep(char *file, int line)
{
static unsigned long prev_jiffy; /* ratelimiting */
ftrace_printk("Hi I'm a comment in might_sleep() :-)");
A chunk of a resulting trace:
0) | _reiserfs_free_block() {
0) | reiserfs_read_bitmap_block() {
0) | __bread() {
0) | __getblk() {
0) | __find_get_block() {

0) 1.321 us | }
0) 5.872 us | }
0) 7.313 us | }

Impact: better trace output of duration for long calls
The old duration output didn't exceeded 9999.999 us to fit the column
and the nanosecs were always 3 numbers. As Ingo suggested, it's better
to have the whole microseconds elapsed time and shift the nanosecs precision
if needed to fit the maximum 7 numbers. And usec need more number, the case
should be rare and important enough to break a bit the column alignment to
show it.
So, depending of the duration value, we now have these patterns:
u.nnn us
uu.nnn us

Impact: enhance the output of the graph-tracer
This patch applies some ideas of Ingo Molnar and Steven Rostedt.
* Output leaf functions in one line with parenthesis, semicolon and duration
output.
* Add a second column (after cpu) for an overhead sign.
if duration > 100 us, "!"
if duration > 10 us, "+"
else " "
* Print output in us with remaining nanosec: u.n
* Print duration on the right end, following the indentation of the functions.
Use also visual clues: "-" on entry call (no duration to output) and "+" on
return (duration output).
The name of the tracer has been fixed as well: function-branch becomes
function_branch.

Impact: enhancement for function graph tracer
When run on a SMP box, the function graph tracer is confusing because
it shows the different CPUS as changes in the trace.
This patch adds the annotation of 'CPU[###]' where ### is a three digit
number. The output will look similar to this:
CPU[001] dput() {

# grep '^CPU\[000\]' /tmp/trace > /tmp/trace0

Impact: feature
This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing.
For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry
and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack.
The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against
the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch.
Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at
some locations.
We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this
way of processing is much more simpler.
2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep
calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed
braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function.
If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to
find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth.
I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value
can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are.
I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print
eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part).
Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the
high part of eax could contain junk values...

Impact: cleanup
This patch changes the name of the "return function tracer" into
function-graph-tracer which is a more suitable name for a tracing
which makes one able to retrieve the ordered call stack during
the code flow.

Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
"20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
/debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
right.
As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.

This patch adds the support for dynamic tracing on the function return tracer.
The whole difference with normal dynamic function tracing is that we don't need
to hook on a particular callback. The only pro that we want is to nop or set
dynamically the calls to ftrace_caller (which is ftrace_return_caller here).
Some security checks ensure that we are not trying to launch dynamic tracing for
return tracing while normal function tracing is already running.
An example of trace with getnstimeofday set as a filter:
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (2283 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1396 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1382 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1825 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1426 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1464 ns)
ktime_get_ts+0x22/0x50 -> getnstimeofday (1524 ns)

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.

Impact: add new tracing plugin which can trace full (entry+exit) function calls
This tracer uses the low level function return ftrace plugin to
measure the execution time of the kernel functions.
The first field is the caller of the function, the second is the
measured function, and the last one is the execution time in
nanoseconds.
- v3:
- HAVE_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER have been added. Each arch that support ftrace return
should enable it.
- ftrace_return_stub becomes ftrace_stub.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER depends now on CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
- Return traces printing can be used for other tracers on trace.c
- Adapt to the new tracing API (no more ctrl_update callback)
- Correct the check of "disabled" during insertion.
- Minor changes...
