Merge tag 'trace-v7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"User visible changes:
- Add an entry into MAINTAINERS file for RUST versions of code
There's now RUST code for tracing and static branches. To
differentiate that code from the C code, add entries in for the
RUST version (with "[RUST]" around it) so that the right
maintainers get notified on changes.
- New bitmask-list option added to tracefs
When this is set, bitmasks in trace event are not displayed as hex
numbers, but instead as lists: e.g. 0-5,7,9 instead of 0000015f
- New show_event_filters file in tracefs
Instead of having to search all events/*/*/filter for any active
filters enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_filters
will list them so that there's only one file that needs to be
examined to see if any filters are active.
- New show_event_triggers file in tracefs
Instead of having to search all events/*/*/trigger for any active
triggers enabled in the trace instance, the file
show_event_triggers will list them so that there's only one file
that needs to be examined to see if any triggers are active.
- Have traceoff_on_warning disable trace pintk buffer too
Recently recording of trace_printk() could go to other trace
instances instead of the top level instance. But if
traceoff_on_warning triggers, it doesn't stop the buffer with
trace_printk() and that data can easily be lost by being
overwritten. Have traceoff_on_warning also disable the instance
that has trace_printk() being written to it.
- Update the hist_debug file to show what function the field uses
When CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled, a hist_debug file
exists for every event. This displays the internal data of any
histogram enabled for that event. But it is lacking the function
that is called to process one of its fields. This is very useful
information that was missing when debugging histograms.
- Up the histogram stack size from 16 to 31
Stack traces can be used as keys for event histograms. Currently
the size of the stack that is stored is limited to just 16 entries.
But the storage space in the histogram is 256 bytes, meaning that
it can store up to 31 entries (plus one for the count of entries).
Instead of letting that space go to waste, up the limit from 16 to
31. This makes the keys much more useful.
- Fix permissions of per CPU file buffer_size_kb
The per CPU file of buffer_size_kb was incorrectly set to read only
in a previous cleanup. It should be writable.
- Reset "last_boot_info" if the persistent buffer is cleared
The last_boot_info shows address information of a persistent ring
buffer if it contains data from a previous boot. It is cleared when
recording starts again, but it is not cleared when the buffer is
reset. The data is useless after a reset so clear it on reset too.
Internal changes:
- A change was made to allow tracepoint callbacks to have preemption
enabled, and instead be protected by SRCU. This required some
updates to the callbacks for perf and BPF.
perf needed to disable preemption directly in its callback because
it expects preemption disabled in the later code.
BPF needed to disable migration, as its code expects to run
completely on the same CPU.
- Have irq_work wake up other CPU if current CPU is "isolated"
When there's a waiter waiting on ring buffer data and a new event
happens, an irq work is triggered to wake up that waiter. This is
noisy on isolated CPUs (running NO_HZ_FULL). Trigger an IPI to a
house keeping CPU instead.
- Use proper free of trigger_data instead of open coding it in.
- Remove redundant call of event_trigger_reset_filter()
It was called immediately in a function that was called right after
it.
- Workqueue cleanups
- Report errors if tracing_update_buffers() were to fail.
- Make the enum update workqueue generic for other parts of tracing
On boot up, a work queue is created to convert enum names into
their numbers in the trace event format files. This work queue can
also be used for other aspects of tracing that takes some time and
shouldn't be called by the init call code.
The blk_trace initialization takes a bit of time. Have the
initialization code moved to the new tracing generic work queue
function.
- Skip kprobe boot event creation call if there's no kprobes defined
on cmdline
The kprobe initialization to set up kprobes if they are defined on
the cmdline requires taking the event_mutex lock. This can be held
by other tracing code doing initialization for a long time. Since
kprobes added to the kernel command line need to be setup
immediately, as they may be tracing early initialization code, they
cannot be postponed in a work queue and must be setup in the
initcall code.
If there's no kprobe on the kernel cmdline, there's no reason to
take the mutex and slow down the boot up code waiting to get the
lock only to find out there's nothing to do. Simply exit out early
if there's no kprobes on the kernel cmdline.
If there are kprobes on the cmdline, then someone cares more about
tracing over the speed of boot up.
- Clean up the trigger code a bit
- Move code out of trace.c and into their own files
trace.c is now over 11,000 lines of code and has become more
difficult to maintain. Start splitting it up so that related code
is in their own files.
Move all the trace_printk() related code into trace_printk.c.
Move the __always_inline stack functions into trace.h.
Move the pid filtering code into a new trace_pid.c file.
- Better define the max latency and snapshot code
The latency tracers have a "max latency" buffer that is a copy of
the main buffer and gets swapped with it when a new high latency is
detected. This keeps the trace up to the highest latency around
where this max_latency buffer is never written to. It is only used
to save the last max latency trace.
A while ago a snapshot feature was added to tracefs to allow user
space to perform the same logic. It could also enable events to
trigger a "snapshot" if one of their fields hit a new high. This
was built on top of the latency max_latency buffer logic.
Because snapshots came later, they were dependent on the latency
tracers to be enabled. In reality, the latency tracers depend on
the snapshot code and not the other way around. It was just that
they came first.
Restructure the code and the kconfigs to have the latency tracers
depend on snapshot code instead. This actually simplifies the logic
a bit and allows to disable more when the latency tracers are not
defined and the snapshot code is.
- Fix a "false sharing" in the hwlat tracer code
The loop to search for latency in hardware was using a variable
that could be changed by user space for each sample. If the user
change this variable, it could cause a bus contention, and reading
that variable can show up as a large latency in the trace causing a
false positive. Read this variable at the start of the sample with
a READ_ONCE() into a local variable and keep the code from sharing
cache lines with readers.
- Fix function graph tracer static branch optimization code
When only one tracer is defined for function graph tracing, it uses
a static branch to call that tracer directly. When another tracer
is added, it goes into loop logic to call all the registered
callbacks.
The code was incorrect when going back to one tracer and never
re-enabled the static branch again to do the optimization code.
- And other small fixes and cleanups"
