ftrace: CPU buffer start annotation clean ups

Impact: better handling of CPU buffer start annotation

Because of the confusion with the per CPU buffers wrapping where
one CPU might be more active at the end of the trace than the other
CPUs causing that one CPU to have a shorter history. Kernel
developers were confused by the "missing" data of that one CPU
at the beginning of the trace output. An annotation was added to
the trace output to show that the buffer had started:

 # tracer: function
 #
 #           TASK-PID    CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |       |          |         |
 ##### CPU 3 buffer started ####
          <idle>-0     [003]   158.192959: smp_apic_timer_interrupt
 [...]
           <idle>-0     [003]   161.556520: default_idle
 ##### CPU 1 buffer started ####
           <idle>-0     [001]   161.592494: hrtimer_force_reprogram
 [etc]

But this annotation gets a bit messy when tracers do not fill the
buffers. This patch does a couple of things:

 One) it adds a flag to trace_options to disable these annotations

 Two) it does not annotate if the tracer did not overflow its buffer.

This makes the output much cleaner.

when the tracer pushes or pops a return address trace to/from the

Theory:

_ One thread can only execute on one cpu at a time. So this code
  doesn't need to be SMP-safe. Just drop the spinlock.

_ The only race could happen between the current thread and an
  interrupt. If an interrupt is raised, it will increase the index of
  the return stack storage and then execute until the end of the
  tracing to finally free the index it used. We don't need to disable
  irqs.

This is theorical. In practice, I've tested it with a two-core SMP and

15 years agotracing: likely/unlikely branch annotation tracer

tracing: likely/unlikely branch annotation tracer

Impact: new likely/unlikely branch tracer

This patch adds a way to record the instances of the likely() and unlikely()
branch condition annotations.

When "unlikely" is set in /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl the unlikely conditions
will be added to any of the ftrace tracers. The change takes effect when
a new tracer is passed into the current_tracer file.

For example:

 bash-3471  [003]   357.014755: [INCORRECT] sched_info_dequeued:sched_stats.h:177
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014756: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014758: [correct] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014759: [correct] account_group_exec_runtime:sched_stats.h:356
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014761: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014763: [INCORRECT] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014765: [correct] calc_delta_mine:sched.c:1279

Which shows the normal tracer heading, as well as whether the condition was
correct "[correct]" or was mistaken "[INCORRECT]", followed by the function,
file name and line number.

Andrew Morton recently suggested having an in-kernel way to profile
likely and unlikely macros. This patch achieves that goal.

When configured, every(*) likely and unlikely macro gets a counter attached

are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by:

  the following ideas from:

  1)  Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values.
  2)  Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers.
  3)  Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely
       annotations from vsyscall_64.c.

Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar
for their feed back on this patch.

(*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls
 (a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

15 years agotracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entries

tracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entries

Impact: Split the boot tracer entries in two parts: call and return

Now that we are using the sched tracer from the boot tracer, we want
to use the same timestamp than the ring-buffer to have consistent time
captures between sched events and initcall events.

So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the
initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the
ring buffer timestamp of both.

15 years agoring-buffer: buffer record on/off switch
Steven Rostedt [Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:01:42 +0000 (15:01 -0500)]
ring-buffer: buffer record on/off switch

Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added

Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop
recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also
be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the
ring buffers called:

 tracing_on()
 tracing_off()

When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record
into their buffers.

tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again.

These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the
number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called.

A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called

  tracing_on

This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch.

  echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on

disables the tracing.

  echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on

enables it.

Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears
a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to
their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers.

The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled.

There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers:

 tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers.

 buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set
     if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled.

 cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an
     anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if
     an anomaly occurred.

The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with
tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel
called tracing_stop().

Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it.
It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit.
tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is
it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace
can reenable it at any time.

Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c
  called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

context to a work queue.  This work_queue implmentation is strikingly similar
to the ivtv implementation - for better or worse.

Daniel J Blueman [Mon, 2 Jun 2008 23:05:14 +0000 (20:05 -0300)]
V4L/DVB (9492): unplug oops from dvb_frontend_init...

When inadvertently hot-unplugging a WT-220U USB DVB-T receiver with
2.6.24, I was met with an oops [1]. The problem is relevant to
2.6.25/26-rc also.

dvb_frontend_init() was called either from re-creation of the kdvb-fe0
thread - seems unlikely, or someone called
dvb_frontend_reinitialise(), causing this path in the thread - really
unlikely, as I can't find any call-site for it.

Either way, quite a number of drivers call dvb_usb_generic_rw() [2]
without checking the validity of the relevant member in the
dvb_usb_device struct - which had changed. Having dvb_usb_generic_rw()
sanity-check and fail (rather than loading from 0x120) seems
reasonable defensive programming [3], in light of it being called in
this way.

The problem with this, is that drivers don't check the return code of
the init call [4]. Does it make sense to cook a patch which allows the
failure to be propagated back up, or am I missing something else?

Thanks,
  Daniel

V4L/DVB (9357): cx88-dvb: Fix Oops in case i2c bus failed to register

There already is an report at kernel bugzilla about this issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9455

When enabling extra checks for the i2c-bus of cx88 based cards by
loading i2c_algo_bit with bit_test=1 this may trigger an oops
when loading cx88_dvb.

This is caused by the extra check code that detects that the
sda-line is stuck high and thus does not register the i2c-bus.

cx88-dvb however does not check if the i2c-bus is valid and just
uses core->i2c_adap to attach dvb frontend modules.
This leads to an oops at the first call to i2c_transfer:

V4L/DVB (9356): [PATCH] saa7134: fix resource map sanity check conflict

Impact: driver could possibly stomp on resources outside of its scope

{mchehab@redhat.com: I got two versions of the same patch (identical,
except for whitespacing). One authored by Andy Burns and another
authored by Suresh Siddha. Due to that, I'm applying the one that has
less CodingStyle errors. I'm also adding both comments and the SOB's for
both patches, since they are both interesting}

Suresh Siddha commented:

  Alexey Fisher reported:

  > resource map sanity check conflict: 0xcfeff800 0xcff007ff 0xcfe00000
  > 0xcfefffff PCI Bus 0000:01

  BAR base is located in the middle of the 4K page and the hardcoded
  size argument makes the request span two pages causing the conflict.

  Fix the hard coded size argument in ioremap().

Andy Burns commented:

  I have already sent this patch on the linux-dvb list, but it didn't get
  much attention, so re-sending direct, I hope you all don't mind.

  While attempting to run mythtv in a xen domU, I encountered problems
  loading the driver for my saa7134 card, with an error from ioremap().

  This error was due to the driver allocating an incorrectly sized mmio
  area, which was trapped by xen's permission checks, but this would go
  un-noticed on a kernel without xen.

  My card has a 1K sized mmio area, I've had information that other cards
  have 2K areas, perhaps others have different sizes, yet the driver
  always attempts to map 4K.  I realise that the granularity of mapping is
  the page size, which typically would be 4K, but unless the card's base
  address happens to fall on a 4K boundary (mine does not) then the
  base+4K will end up spanning two pages, and this is when the error
  occurs under xen.

  My patch uses the pci_resource_len macro to determine the size required
  for the user's particular card, instead of the hardcoded 4K value. I've
  tested with a couple of printk() inside ioremap() that the start address
  and size do get rounded to the closest page boundary.

  With this patch I am able to successfully load the saa7134 driver and
  run mythtv under xen with my card, subject to correct pollirq settings
  in case of shared IRQ, I am still seeing occasional DMA panics, which I
  think are related to swiotlb handling by dom0/domU, usually the panic
  occurs when changing mux, once tuned to a mux, 12 hour continuous
  recordings are possible without errors.

timers: handle HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED correctly from softirq context

Impact: fix incorrect locking triggered during hotplug-intense stress-tests

While migrating the the CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED timers during a cpu-offline,
we queue them on the cb_pending list, so that they won't go
stale.

Thus, when the callbacks of the timers run from the softirq context,
they could run into potential deadlocks, since these callbacks
assume that they're running with irq's disabled, thereby annoying
lockdep!

Fix this by emulating hardirq context while running these callbacks from
the hrtimer softirq.
