* tracing: Kconfig spelling fixes and cleanupsRandy Dunlap2009-12-281-56/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix filename reference (ftrace-implementation.txt -> ftrace-design.txt). Fix spelling, punctuation, grammar. Fix help text indentation and line lengths to reduce need for horizontal scrolling or larger window sizes.

* tracing: Fix setting tracer specific optionsSteven Rostedt2009-12-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The function __set_tracer_option() takes as its last parameter a "neg" value. If set it should negate the value of the option. The trace_options_write() passed the value written to the file which is what the new value needs to be set as. But since this is not the negative, it never sets the value.

| * tracing: Add stack trace to irqsoff tracerSteven Rostedt2009-12-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The irqsoff and friends tracers help in finding causes of latency in the kernel. The also work with the function tracer to show what was happening when interrupts or preemption are disabled. But the function tracer has a bit of an overhead and can cause exagerated readings. Currently, when tracing with /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled = 0, where the function tracer is disabled, the information that is provided can end up being useless. For example, a 2 and a half millisecond latency only showed: # tracer: preemptirqsoff # # preemptirqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.32 # -------------------------------------------------------------------- # latency: 2463 us, #4/4, CPU#2 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) # ----------------- # | task: -4242 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0) # ----------------- # => started at: _spin_lock_irqsave # => ended at: remove_wait_queue # # # _------=> CPU# # / _-----=> irqs-off # | / _----=> need-resched # || / _---=> hardirq/softirq # ||| / _--=> preempt-depth # |||| /_--=> lock-depth # |||||/ delay # cmd pid |||||| time | caller # \ / |||||| \ | / hackbenc-4242 2d.... 0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue The above lets us know that hackbench with pid 2463 grabbed a spin lock somewhere and enabled preemption at remove_wait_queue. This helps a little but where this actually happened is not informative. This patch adds the stack dump to the end of the irqsoff tracer. This provides the following output: hackbenc-4242 2d.... 0us!: trace_hardirqs_off <-_spin_lock_irqsave hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2463us+: _spin_unlock_irqrestore <-remove_wait_queue hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2466us : trace_preempt_on <-remove_wait_queue hackbenc-4242 2...1. 2467us : <stack trace> => sub_preempt_count => _spin_unlock_irqrestore => remove_wait_queue => free_poll_entry => poll_freewait => do_sys_poll => sys_poll => system_call_fastpath Now we see that the culprit of this latency was the free_poll_entry code.

| * tracing: Add trace_dump_stack()Steven Rostedt2009-12-111-0/+16

One way is to use dynamic function tracing and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling that function and entering a specific if conditional. I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk(). Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations.

This is caused by the idle thread being set to MAX_PRIO before forking off init. O(1) used that to make sure idle was always preempted, CFS uses check_preempt_curr_idle() for that so we can savely remove this bit of legacy code.

We used to add these phantom weights to the total, so that the idle per-cpu shares don't get inflated, this however causes the non-idle parts to get deflated, causing unexpected weight distibutions. Reverse this, so that the non-idle shares are correct but the idle shares are inflated.

The function returns quickly without going deeper because it is apparent that a RT task can always preempt a non-RT task. In this situation, check_preempt_wakeup() always calls update_curr() to update vruntime value of the currently running task. However, the function call is unnecessary and redundant at that moment because (1) a non-RT task can always be preempted by a RT task regardless of its vruntime value, and (2) update_curr() will be called shortly when the context switch between two occurs. By moving update_curr() in check_preempt_wakeup(), we can avoid redundant call to update_curr(), slightly reducing the time taken to wake up RT tasks.

The particular problem being solved here is a crash in try_to_wake_up() where select_task_rq() ends up selecting an offline cpu because select_task_rq_fair() trusts the sched_domain tree to reflect the current state of affairs, similarly select_task_rq_rt() trusts the root_domain. However, the sched_domains are updated from CPU_DEAD, which is after the cpu is taken offline and after stop_machine is done. Therefore it can race perfectly well with code assuming the domains are right. Cure this by building the domains from cpu_active_mask on CPU_DOWN_PREPARE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no reason to make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info and friends visible to the rest of the kernel. So move all of them to hrtimer.c. Also make timer_stats_hrtimer_set_start_info a static inline function so it gets inlined and we avoid another function call. Based on a patch by Thomas Gleixner.

This is error-prone for virtual machines, where a guest vcpu can be scheduled out during the execution of the callbacks (and the callbacks themselves can do operations that translate to blocking operations in the hypervisor), which in can lead to large min_delta_ns rendering the system unusable. Replace the current heuristics with something more reliable. Allow the interrupt code to try 3 times to catch up with the lost time. If that fails use the total time spent in the interrupt handler to defer the next timer interrupt so the system can catch up with other things which got delayed. Limit that deferment to 100ms. The retry events and the maximum time spent in the interrupt handler are recorded and exposed via /proc/timer_list Inspired by a patch from Marcelo.

Then we omit to define specific kprobes fields (ip and nargs), and specific kretprobes fields (func, ret_ip, nargs). And we only define them when we fail to create common fields. The most visible consequence is that we can't create filter for k(ret)probes specific fields. This patch re-invert the success/error handling to fix it.

This latter will perform the heavy and racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new one. This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle. So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it after if necessary.

But not if we are dealing with a task bound breakpoint. What we want in this case is: - Check the number of pinned breakpoint bound the concerned cpus - Check the number of breakpoints that already belong to the task in which the breakpoint to register is bound to. - Add both This fixes a regression that makes the "firefox -g" command fail to register breakpoints once we deal with a secondary thread.
