From af6af30c0fcd77e621638e53ef8b176bca8bd3b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 20:41:04 +0200 Subject: ftrace: Fix perf-tracepoint OOPS Not all tracepoints are created equal, in specific the ftrace tracepoints are created with TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT() which does not generate the needed bits to tie them into perf counters. For those events, don't create the 'id' file and fail ->profile_enable when their ID is specified through other means.

A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample. Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020. Translation: struct trace_entry { type = 0x2b = 43; flags = 1; preempt_count = 2; pid = 0xa = 10; tgid = 0xa = 10; } thread_comm = "events/1" thread_pid = 0xa = 10; func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc() What will come next? - Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode for perf trace, etc. - The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity. That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity protection. - [...] - Profit! :-) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Li Zefan Cc: Tom Zanussi Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Gabriel Munteanu Cc: Lai Jiangshan Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- include/linux/ftrace_event.h | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/linux/ftrace_event.h') diff --git a/include/linux/ftrace_event.h b/include/linux/ftrace_event.h index d7cd193c227..a81170de7f6 100644 --- a/include/linux/ftrace_event.h +++ b/include/linux/ftrace_event.h @@ -89,7 +89,9 @@ enum print_line_t { TRACE_TYPE_NO_CONSUME = 3 /* Handled but ask to not consume */ }; - +void tracing_generic_entry_update(struct trace_entry *entry, + unsigned long flags, + int pc); struct ring_buffer_event * trace_current_buffer_lock_reserve(int type, unsigned long len, unsigned long flags, int pc); -- cgit v1.2.3
