2021-08-17tracing: Add trace_event helper macros __string_len() and __assign_str_len()Steven Rostedt (VMware)1-0/+27
There's a few cases that a string that is to be recorded in a trace event, does not have a terminating 'nul' character, and instead, the tracepoint passes in the length of the string to record. Add two helper macros to the trace event code that lets this work easier, than tricks with "%.*s" logic. __string_len() which is similar to __string() for declaration, but takes a length argument. __assign_str_len() which is similar to __assign_str() for assiging the string, but it too takes a length argument. Note, the TRACE_EVENT() macro will allocate the location on the ring buffer to 'len + 1', that will be used to store the string into. It is a requirement that the 'len' used for this is a most the length of the string being recorded. This string can still use __get_str() just like strings created with __string() can use to retrieve the string.

2019-06-03sched/core: Provide a pointer to the valid CPU maskSebastian Andrzej Siewior1-1/+1
In commit: 4b53a3412d66 ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper") the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched. As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use: struct task_struct { const cpumask_t *cpus_ptr; cpumask_t cpus_mask; }; with t->cpus_ptr = &t->cpus_mask; In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to: t->cpus_ptr = &cpumask_of(task_cpu(p)); in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple: - Code that 'uses' ->cpus_allowed would use the pointer. - Code that 'modifies' ->cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core Pull initial SPDX identifiers from Greg KH: "License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

Commit 7496946a8 ("tracing: Add samples of DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT()") added template examples for all the events. It created a DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example which reused the foo_bar_reg and foo_bar_unreg functions. Enabling both the TRACE_EVENT_FN() and DEFINE_EVENT_FN() example trace events caused the foo_bar_reg to be called twice, creating the test thread twice. The foo_bar_unreg would remove it only once, even if it was called multiple times, leaving a thread existing when the module is unloaded, causing an oops. Add a ref count and allow foo_bar_reg() and foo_bar_unreg() be called by multiple trace events.

2014-06-21tracing: Add __field_struct macro for TRACE_EVENT()Steven Rostedt1-1/+2
Currently the __field() macro in TRACE_EVENT is only good for primitive values, such as integers and pointers, but it fails on complex data types such as structures or unions. This is because the __field() macro determines if the variable is signed or not with the test of: (((type)(-1)) < (type)1) Unfortunately, that fails when type is a structure. Since trace events should support structures as fields a new macro is created for such a case called __field_struct() which acts exactly the same as __field() does but it does not do the signed type check and just uses a constant false for that answer.

The comments in the sample code is a bit confusing. This patch cleans them up a little. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-05-07tracing: update sample with TRACE_INCLUDE_FILESteven Rostedt1-1/+6
When creating trace events for ftrace, the header file with the TRACE_EVENT macros must also have a macro called TRACE_SYSTEM. This macro describes the name of the system the TRACE_EVENTS are defined for. It also doubles as a way for the define_trace.h file to include the file that included it. For example: in irq.h #define TRACE_SYSTEM irq [...] #include <trace/define_trace.h> The define_trace will use TRACE_SYSTEM to include irq.h. But if the name of the trace system does not match the name of the trace header file, one can override it with: Which will change define_trace.h to inclued foo_trace.h instead of foo.h The sample comments this, but people that use the sample code will more likely use the code and not read the comments. This patch changes the sample code to use the TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE to better show developers how to use it.

2009-05-06tracing/events: don't say hi when loading the trace event sampleLi Zefan1-4/+0
The sample is useful for testing, and I'm using it. But after loading the module, it keeps saying hi every 10 seconds, this may be disturbing. Also Steven said commenting out the "hi" helped in causing races. :) [ Impact: make testing a bit easier ] Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <4A00F6AD.2070008@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
