2008-11-13trace: rename unlikely profiler to branch profilerSteven Rostedt2-10/+11
Impact: name change of unlikely tracer and profiler Ingo Molnar suggested changing the config from UNLIKELY_PROFILE to BRANCH_PROFILING. I never did like the "unlikely" name so I went one step farther, and renamed all the unlikely configurations to a "BRANCH" variant.

2008-11-12tracing: profile likely and unlikely annotationsSteven Rostedt2-3/+72
Impact: new unlikely/likely profiler 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 to it. When the condition is hit, the hit and misses of that condition are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by: /debugfs/tracing/profile_likely - All likely markers /debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely - All unlikely markers. # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | head correct incorrect % Function File Line ------- --------- - -------- ---- ---- 2167 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 832 0 0 0 do_arch_prctl process_64.c 804 2670 0 0 IS_ERR err.h 34 71230 5693 7 __switch_to process_64.c 673 76919 0 0 __switch_to process_64.c 639 43184 33743 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12740 64181 83 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12740 64174 83 __switch_to process_64.c 590 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_unlikely | \ awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' |head -20 44963 35259 43 __switch_to process_64.c 624 12762 67454 84 __switch_to process_64.c 594 12762 67447 84 __switch_to process_64.c 590 1478 595 28 syscall_get_error syscall.h 51 0 2821 100 syscall_trace_leave ptrace.c 1567 0 1 100 native_smp_prepare_cpus smpboot.c 1237 86338 265881 75 calc_delta_fair sched_fair.c 408 210410 108540 34 calc_delta_mine sched.c 1267 0 54550 100 sched_info_queued sched_stats.h 222 51899 66435 56 pick_next_task_fair sched_fair.c 1422 6 10 62 yield_task_fair sched_fair.c 982 7325 2692 26 rt_policy sched.c 144 0 1270 100 pre_schedule_rt sched_rt.c 1261 1268 48073 97 pick_next_task_rt sched_rt.c 884 0 45181 100 sched_info_dequeued sched_stats.h 177 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8700 0 15 100 sched_move_task sched.c 8690 53167 33217 38 schedule sched.c 4457 0 80208 100 sched_info_switch sched_stats.h 270 30585 49631 61 context_switch sched.c 2619 # cat /debug/tracing/profile_likely | awk '{ if ($3 > 25) print $0; }' 39900 36577 47 pick_next_task sched.c 4397 20824 15233 42 switch_mm mmu_context_64.h 18 0 7 100 __cancel_work_timer workqueue.c 560 617 66484 99 clocksource_adjust timekeeping.c 456 0 346340 100 audit_syscall_exit auditsc.c 1570 38 347350 99 audit_get_context auditsc.c 732 0 345244 100 audit_syscall_entry auditsc.c 1541 38 1017 96 audit_free auditsc.c 1446 0 1090 100 audit_alloc auditsc.c 862 2618 1090 29 audit_alloc auditsc.c 858 0 6 100 move_masked_irq migration.c 9 1 198 99 probe_sched_wakeup trace_sched_switch.c 58 2 2 50 probe_wakeup trace_sched_wakeup.c 227 0 2 100 probe_wakeup_sched_switch trace_sched_wakeup.c 144 4514 2090 31 __grab_cache_page filemap.c 2149 12882 228786 94 mapping_unevictable pagemap.h 50 4 11 73 __flush_cpu_slab slub.c 1466 627757 330451 34 slab_free slub.c 1731 2959 61245 95 dentry_lru_del_init dcache.c 153 946 1217 56 load_elf_binary binfmt_elf.c 904 102 82 44 disk_put_part genhd.h 206 1 1 50 dst_gc_task dst.c 82 0 19 100 tcp_mss_split_point tcp_output.c 1126 As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits that were more than 25%. Note: After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up 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.

2008-11-12tracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entriesFrederic Weisbecker1-9/+22
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. An example trace: [ 27.904149584] calling net_ns_init+0x0/0x1c0 @ 1 [ 27.904429624] initcall net_ns_init+0x0/0x1c0 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.904575926] calling reboot_init+0x0/0x20 @ 1 [ 27.904655399] initcall reboot_init+0x0/0x20 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.904800228] calling sysctl_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.905142914] initcall sysctl_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.905287211] calling ksysfs_init+0x0/0xb0 @ 1 ##### CPU 0 buffer started #### init-1 [000] 27.905395: 1:120:R + [001] 11:115:S ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 27.905425: 0:140:R ==> [001] 11:115:R init-1 [000] 27.905426: 1:120:D ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905431: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905451: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905456: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905458: 11:115:R + [001] 14:115:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905459: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905462: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905462: 11:115:R ==> [001] 14:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905467: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905470: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905473: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905476: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.905479: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.905482: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.905486: 4:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-14 [001] 27.905499: 14:120:X ==> [001] 11:115:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905506: 11:115:R + [000] 1:120:D <idle>-0 [000] 27.905515: 0:140:R ==> [000] 1:120:R udevd-11 [001] 27.905517: 11:115:S ==> [001] 0:140:R [ 27.905557107] initcall ksysfs_init+0x0/0xb0 returned 0 after 3906 msecs [ 27.905705736] calling init_jiffies_clocksource+0x0/0x10 @ 1 [ 27.905779239] initcall init_jiffies_clocksource+0x0/0x10 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.906769814] calling pm_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.906853627] initcall pm_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.906997803] calling pm_disk_init+0x0/0x20 @ 1 [ 27.907076946] initcall pm_disk_init+0x0/0x20 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907222556] calling swsusp_header_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.907294325] initcall swsusp_header_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907439620] calling stop_machine_init+0x0/0x50 @ 1 init-1 [000] 27.907485: 1:120:R + [000] 2:115:S init-1 [000] 27.907490: 1:120:D ==> [000] 2:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907507: 2:115:R + [001] 15:115:R <idle>-0 [001] 27.907517: 0:140:R ==> [001] 15:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907517: 2:115:D ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.907521: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S <idle>-0 [000] 27.907524: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R udevd-15 [001] 27.907527: 15:115:D + [000] 2:115:D ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.907537: 4:115:S ==> [000] 2:115:R udevd-15 [001] 27.907537: 15:115:D ==> [001] 0:140:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907546: 2:115:R + [000] 1:120:D kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907550: 2:115:S ==> [000] 1:120:R init-1 [000] 27.907584: 1:120:R + [000] 15: 0:D init-1 [000] 27.907589: 1:120:R + [000] 2:115:S init-1 [000] 27.907593: 1:120:D ==> [000] 15: 0:R udevd-15 [000] 27.907601: 15: 0:S ==> [000] 2:115:R ##### CPU 0 buffer started #### kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907616: 2:115:R + [001] 16:115:R ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 27.907620: 0:140:R ==> [001] 16:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907621: 2:115:D ==> [000] 0:140:R udevd-16 [001] 27.907625: 16:115:D + [000] 2:115:D <idle>-0 [000] 27.907628: 0:140:R + [000] 4:115:S udevd-16 [001] 27.907629: 16:115:D ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle>-0 [000] 27.907631: 0:140:R ==> [000] 4:115:R ksoftirqd/0-4 [000] 27.907636: 4:115:S ==> [000] 2:115:R kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907644: 2:115:R + [000] 1:120:D kthreadd-2 [000] 27.907647: 2:115:S ==> [000] 1:120:R init-1 [000] 27.907657: 1:120:R + [001] 16: 0:D <idle>-0 [001] 27.907666: 0:140:R ==> [001] 16: 0:R [ 27.907703862] initcall stop_machine_init+0x0/0x50 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.907850704] calling filelock_init+0x0/0x30 @ 1 [ 27.907926573] initcall filelock_init+0x0/0x30 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.908071327] calling init_script_binfmt+0x0/0x10 @ 1 [ 27.908165195] initcall init_script_binfmt+0x0/0x10 returned 0 after 0 msecs [ 27.908309461] calling init_elf_binfmt+0x0/0x10 @ 1 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-11ring-buffer: buffer record on/off switchSteven Rostedt1-0/+3
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.

2008-11-11tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracingFrederic Weisbecker3-1/+32
Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing Add low level support for ftrace return tracing. This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of the current task. The index of the current return address is initialized when the task is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall, it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called. Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3. For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution. That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on this function enabled.

This fixes hangs on 855-class hardware by avoiding double attachment of the driver due to the stub second head device having the same pci id as the real device. Other DRM drivers probably want this treatment as well, but I'm applying it just to this one for safety. But we should clean up the drm_pciids.h mess now so that each driver has its own pci id list header in its own directory. Lets do that in the next release.

2008-11-11fix for account_group_exec_runtime(), make sure ->signal can't be freed ↵Oleg Nesterov1-0/+1
under rq->lock Impact: fix hang/crash on ia64 under high load This is ugly, but the simplest patch by far. Unlike other similar routines, account_group_exec_runtime() could be called "implicitly" from within scheduler after exit_notify(). This means we can race with the parent doing release_task(), we can't just check ->signal != NULL. Change __exit_signal() to do spin_unlock_wait(&task_rq(tsk)->lock) before __cleanup_signal() to make sure ->signal can't be freed under task_rq(tsk)->lock. Note that task_rq_unlock_wait() doesn't care about the case when tsk changes cpu/rq under us, this should be OK. Thanks to Ingo who nacked my previous buggy patch.

2008-11-10libata: revert convert-to-block-tagging patchesTejun Heo1-0/+1
This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to use block layer tagging. 43a49cbdf31e812c0d8f553d433b09b421f5d52c e013e13bf605b9e6b702adffbe2853cfc60e7806 2fca5ccf97d2c28bcfce44f5b07d85e74e3cd18e Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with the current conversion. The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for non-NCQ commands. Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made. I'm not sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the frailty of ATA controllers. So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc allocation.

2008-11-09net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collectorMiklos Szeredi1-0/+1
Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't change during the GC. This is only half true, nothing can be received from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file descriptors referring to it. This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the "inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't previously called. This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs < inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run. Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which are candidates themselves. Duplicating the file references in unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

2008-11-09clarify usage expectations for cnt32_to_63()Nicolas Pitre1-6/+16
Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user mode preemption is disabled already. It is nevertheless a good idea to better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter value in the wrong order. On UP a simple compiler barrier is sufficient.

Fix the __pfn_to_page(pfn) macro so that it doesn't evaluate its argument twice in the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y case, because 'pfn' may be a result of a funtion call having side effects. For example, the hibernation code applies pfn_to_page(pfn) to the result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each call. This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2008-11-07net: Fix recursive descent in __scm_destroy().David S. Miller2-2/+5
__scm_destroy() walks the list of file descriptors in the scm_fp_list pointed to by the scm_cookie argument. Those, in turn, can close sockets and invoke __scm_destroy() again. There is nothing which limits how deeply this can occur. The idea for how to fix this is from Linus. Basically, we do all of the fput()s at the top level by collecting all of the scm_fp_list objects hit by an fput(). Inside of the initial __scm_destroy() we keep running the list until it is empty.

Fix the hrtimer_add_expires_ns() function. It should take a 'u64 ns' argument, but rather takes an 'unsigned long ns' argument - which might only be 32-bits. On FRV, this results in the kernel locking up because hrtimer_forward() passes the result of a 64-bit multiplication to this function, for which the compiler discards the top 32-bits - something that didn't happen when ktime_add_ns() was called directly.

2008-11-06cpumask: introduce new API, without changing anythingRusty Russell3-2/+517
Impact: introduce new APIs We want to deprecate cpumasks on the stack, as we are headed for gynormous numbers of CPUs. Eventually, we want to head towards an undefined 'struct cpumask' so they can never be declared on stack. 1) New cpumask functions which take pointers instead of copies. (cpus_* -> cpumask_*) 2) Several new helpers to reduce requirements for temporary cpumasks (cpumask_first_and, cpumask_next_and, cpumask_any_and) 3) Helpers for declaring cpumasks on or offstack for large NR_CPUS (cpumask_var_t, alloc_cpumask_var and free_cpumask_var) 4) 'struct cpumask' for explicitness and to mark new-style code. 5) Make iterator functions stop at nr_cpu_ids (a runtime constant), not NR_CPUS for time efficiency and for smaller dynamic allocations in future. 6) cpumask_copy() so we can allocate less than a full cpumask eventually (for alloc_cpumask_var), and so we can eliminate the 'struct cpumask' definition eventually. 7) work_on_cpu() helper for doing task on a CPU, rather than saving old cpumask for current thread and manipulating it. 8) smp_call_function_many() which is smp_call_function_mask() except taking a cpumask pointer. Note that this patch simply introduces the new functions and leaves the obsolescent ones in place. This is to simplify the transition patches.

It adds a new variable called function_trace_stop which will stop the calls to functions from mcount when set. This is just an on/off switch and does not handle recursion like preempt_disable(). It's main purpose is to help other tracers/debuggers start and stop tracing fuctions without the need to call kstop_machine. The config option HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is added for archs that implement the testing of the function_trace_stop in the mcount arch dependent code. Otherwise, the test is done in the C code. x86 is the only arch at the moment that supports this. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: improve wakeup affinity on NUMA systems, tweak SMP systems Given the fixes+tweaks to the wakeup-buddy code, re-tweak the domain balancing defaults on NUMA and SMP systems. Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason why we would not want to have wakeup affinity across nodes as well. (we already do this in the standard NUMA template.) lat_ctx on a NUMA box is particularly happy about this change: before: | phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 | "size=0k ovr=2.60 | 2 5.70 after: | phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 | "size=0k ovr=2.65 | 2 2.07 a 2.75x speedup. pipe-test is similarly happy about it too: | phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test | 18.26 usecs/loop. | 14.70 usecs/loop. | 14.38 usecs/loop. | 10.55 usecs/loop. # +WAKE_AFFINE on domain0+domain1 | 8.63 usecs/loop. | 8.59 usecs/loop. | 9.03 usecs/loop. | 8.94 usecs/loop. | 8.96 usecs/loop. | 8.63 usecs/loop.
