Trace events for DAPM allow us to monitor the performance and behaviour
of DAPM with logging which can be built into the kernel permanantly, is
more suited to automated analysis and display and less likely to suffer
interference from other logging activity.
Currently trace events are generated for:
- Start and stop of DAPM processing
- Start and stop of bias level changes
- Power decisions for widgets
- Widget event execution start and stop
giving some view as to what is happening and where latencies occur.
Actual changes in widget power can be seen via the register write trace in
soc-core.

The trace subsystem provides a convenient way of instrumenting the kernel
which can be left on all the time with extremely low impact on the system
unlike prints to the kernel log which can be very spammy. Begin adding
support for instrumenting ASoC via this interface by adding trace for the
register access primitives.

Unfortunately perf can't deal with anything other than direct structure
accesses in the TP_printk() section. It will drop dead when it sees
jbd2_dev_to_name() in the "print fmt" section of the tracepoint.

Many tracepoints were populating an ext4_allocation_context
to pass in, but this requires a slab allocation even when
tracepoints are off. In fact, 4 of 5 of these allocations
were only for tracing. In addition, we were only using a
small fraction of the 144 bytes of this structure for this
purpose.
We can do away with all these alloc/frees of the ac and
simply pass in the bits we care about, instead.
I tested this by turning on tracing and running through
xfstests on x86_64. I did not actually do anything with
the trace output, however.

Our QA reported an oops in the ext4_mb_release_group_pa tracing,
and Josef Bacik pointed out that it was because we may have a
non-null but uninitialized ac_inode in the allocation context.
I can reproduce it when running xfstests with ext4 tracepoints on,
on a CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG kernel.
We call trace_ext4_mb_release_group_pa from 2 places,
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations and
ext4_mb_discard_lg_preallocations
In both cases we allocate an ac as a container just for tracing (!)
and never fill in the ac_inode. There's no reason to be assigning,
testing, or printing it as far as I can see, so just remove it from
the tracepoint.

If congestion_wait() is called with no BDI congested, the caller will
sleep for the full timeout and this may be an unnecessary sleep. This
patch adds a wait_iff_congested() that checks congestion and only sleeps
if a BDI is congested else, it calls cond_resched() to ensure the caller
is not hogging the CPU longer than its quota but otherwise will not sleep.
This is aimed at reducing some of the major desktop stalls reported during
IO. For example, while kswapd is operating, it calls congestion_wait()
but it could just have been reclaiming clean page cache pages with no
congestion. Without this patch, it would sleep for a full timeout but
after this patch, it'll just call schedule() if it has been on the CPU too
long. Similar logic applies to direct reclaimers that are not making
enough progress.

shrink_page_list() can decide to give up reclaiming a page under a
number of conditions such as
1. trylock_page() failure
2. page is unevictable
3. zone reclaim and page is mapped
4. PageWriteback() is true
5. page is swapbacked and swap is full
6. add_to_swap() failure
7. page is dirty and gfpmask don't have GFP_IO, GFP_FS
8. page is pinned
9. IO queue is congested
10. pageout() start IO, but not finished
With lumpy reclaim, failures result in entering synchronous lumpy reclaim
but this can be unnecessary. In cases (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8),
there is no point retrying. This patch causes lumpy reclaim to abort when
it is known it will fail.
Case (9) is more interesting. current behavior is,
1. start shrink_page_list(async)
2. found queue_congested()
3. skip pageout write
4. still start shrink_page_list(sync)
5. wait on a lot of pages
6. again, found queue_congested()
7. give up pageout write again
So, it's useless time wasting. However, just skipping page reclaim is
also notgood as x86 allocating a huge page needs 512 pages for example.
It can have more dirty pages than queue congestion threshold (~=128).
After this patch, pageout() behaves as follows;
- If order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
Ignore queue congestion always.
- If order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
skip write page and disable lumpy reclaim.

There is strong evidence to indicate a lot of time is being spent in
congestion_wait(), some of it unnecessarily. This patch adds a tracepoint
for congestion_wait to record when congestion_wait() was called, how long
the timeout was for and how long it actually slept.

There have been numerous reports of stalls that pointed at the problem
being somewhere in the VM. There are multiple roots to the problems which
means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to
justify on their own and they would still need integration testing. This
patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination
should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported.
Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list. For this series, the
most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim
ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim.
Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait.
Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for
this series. It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive
and trashes the system somewhat. As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a
large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable. It was also
reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim
was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem
without disabling lumpy reclaim.
Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of
congestion_wait(). wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI
that is currently congested. Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested
is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of
varying speeds and numberous zones. It attempts to track when a zone
being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so,
reclaimers wait on the congestion queue.
I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each
machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs were
X86: Intel P4 2-core
X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core
PPC64: PPC970MP
Each used a single disk and the onboard IO controller. Dirty ratio was
left at 20. I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague
attempt to keep this report short. Four kernels were tested each based on
v2.6.36-rc4
traceonly-v2r2: Patches 1 and 2 to instrument vmscan reclaims and congestion_wait
lowlumpy-v2r3: Patches 1-6 to test if lumpy reclaim is better
waitcongest-v2r3: Patches 1-7 to only wait on congestion
waitwriteback-v2r4: Patches 1-8 to detect when a zone is congested
nocongest-v1r5: Patches 1-3 for testing wait_iff_congestion
nodirect-v1r5: Patches 1-10 to disable filesystem writeback for better IO
The tests run were as follows
kernbench
compile-based benchmark. Smoke test performance
sysbench
OLTP read-only benchmark. Will be re-run in the future as read-write
micro-mapped-file-stream
This is a micro-benchmark from Johannes Weiner that accesses a
large sparse-file through mmap(). It was configured to run in only
single-CPU mode but can be indicative of how well page reclaim
identifies suitable pages.
stress-highalloc
Tries to allocate huge pages under heavy load.
kernbench, iozone and sysbench did not report any performance regression
on any machine. sysbench did pressure the system lightly and there was
reclaim activity but there were no difference of major interest between
the kernels.

These are based on the raw figures taken from /proc/vmstat. It's a rough

because we are entering direct reclaim more often as a result of not
sleeping in congestion. In itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's easier to get a view of what happened from the vmscan tracepoint
report.

What is interesting here for nocongest in particular is that while direct
reclaim scans more pages, the overall number of pages scanned remains the
same and the ratio of pages scanned to pages reclaimed is more or less the
same. In other words, while we are sleeping less, reclaim is not doing
more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it
would appear to be doing less work.

Again, a similar trend that the congestion_wait changes mean that direct
reclaim scans more pages but the overall number of pages scanned while
slightly reduced, are very similar. The ratio of scanning/reclaimed
remains roughly similar. The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim
was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload.
It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent
reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible
considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.

Scanned/reclaimed ratios again look good with big improvements in
efficiency. The Scanned/written ratios also look much improved. With a
better scanned/written ration, there is an expectation that IO would be
more efficient and indeed, the time spent in direct reclaim is much
reduced by the full series and kswapd spends a little less time awake.
Overall, indications here are that allocations were happening much faster
and this can be seen with a graph of the latency figures as the
allocations were taking place

Overall, the time spent speeping is reduced. kswapd is still hitting
congestion_wait() but that is because there are callers remaining where it
wasn't clear in advance if they should be changed to wait_iff_congested()
or not. Overall the sleep imes are reduced though - from 79ish seconds to
about 19.

This removes more dead code that was somehow missed by commit 0d99519efe
(writeback: remove unused nonblocking and congestion checks). There are
no behavior change except for the removal of two entries from one of the
ext4 tracing interface.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepages are no longer used because the
flusher now prefer to block on get_request_wait() than to skip inodes on
IO congestion. The latter will lead to more seeky IO.
The nonblocking checks in ->writepage are no longer used because it's
redundant with the WB_SYNC_NONE check.
We no long set ->nonblocking in VM page out and page migration, because
a) it's effectively redundant with WB_SYNC_NONE in current code
b) it's old semantic of "Don't get stuck on request queues" is mis-behavior:
that would skip some dirty inodes on congestion and page out others, which
is unfair in terms of LRU age.

With the addition of trace_softirq_raise() the softirq tracepoint got
even more convoluted. Why the tracepoints take two pointers to assign
an integer is beyond my comprehension.
But adding an extra case which treats the first pointer as an unsigned
long when the second pointer is NULL including the back and forth
type casting is just horrible.
Convert the softirq tracepoints to take a single unsigned int argument
for the softirq vector number and fix the call sites.

Combinating with tracepoint on dev_hard_start_xmit, we can check

calculate how many packets driver had at that time. It is useful when
a drop of transmitted packet is a problem.

With the introduction of the new unified work queue thread pools,
we lost one feature: It's no longer possible to know which worker
is causing the CPU to wake out of idle. The result is that PowerTOP
now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results.
This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code,
similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints.
With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly
report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took):
Interrupt (43) i915 time 3.51ms wakeups 141
Work ieee80211_iface_work time 0.81ms wakeups 29

PowerTOP would like to be able to trace timers.
Unfortunately, the current timer tracing is not very useful: the
actual timer function is not recorded in the trace at the start
of timer execution.
Although this is recorded for timer "start" time (when it gets
armed), this is not useful; most timers get started early, and a
tracer like PowerTOP will never see this event, but will only
see the actual running of the timer.
This patch just adds the function to the timer tracing; I've
verified with PowerTOP that now it can get useful information
about timers.

process. High frequency triggering of these events could point to memory
pressure problems.

Add 2 new trace points to the periodic write-back wake up case, just like we do
in the 'bdi_queue_work()' function. Namely, introduce:
1. trace_writeback_wake_thread(bdi)
2. trace_writeback_wake_forker_thread(bdi)
The first event is triggered every time we wake up a bdi thread to start
periodic background write-out. The second event is triggered only when the bdi
thread does not exist and should be created by the forker thread.
This patch was suggested by Dave Chinner and Christoph Hellwig.

Trace queue/sched/exec parts of the writeback loop. This provides
insight into when and why flusher threads are scheduled to run. e.g
a sync invocation leaves traces like:
sync-[...]: writeback_queue: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
flush-8:0-[...]: writeback_exec: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
This also lays the foundation for adding more writeback tracing to
provide deeper insight into the whole writeback path.
The original tracing code is from Jens Axboe, though this version is
a rewrite as a result of the code being traced changing
significantly.

and fix the broken case if a core's frequency depends on others.
trace_power_frequency was only implemented in a rather ungeneric
way in acpi-cpufreq driver's target() function only.
-> Move the call to trace_power_frequency to
cpufreq.c:cpufreq_notify_transition() where CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE
notifier is triggered.
This will support power frequency tracing by all cpufreq
drivers.
trace_power_frequency did not trace frequency changes correctly
when the userspace governor was used or when CPU cores'
frequency depend on each other.
-> Moving this into the CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and pass the cpu
which gets switched automatically fixes this.
Robert Schoene provided some important fixes on top of my
initial quick shot version which are integrated in this patch:
- Forgot some changes in power_end trace (TP_printk/variable names)
- Variable dummy in power_end must now be cpu_id
- Use static 64 bit variable instead of unsigned int for cpu_id

If a filesystem writes more than one page in ->writepage, write_cache_pages
fails to notice this and continues to attempt writeback when wbc->nr_to_write
has gone negative - this trace was captured from XFS:
wbc_writeback_start: towrt=1024
wbc_writepage: towrt=1024
wbc_writepage: towrt=0
wbc_writepage: towrt=-1
wbc_writepage: towrt=-5
wbc_writepage: towrt=-21
wbc_writepage: towrt=-85
This has adverse effects on filesystem writeback behaviour. write_cache_pages()
needs to terminate after a certain number of pages are written, not after a
certain number of calls to ->writepage are made. This is a regression
introduced by 17bc6c30cf ("vfs: Add
no_nrwrite_index_update writeback control flag"), but cannot be reverted
directly due to subsequent bug fixes that have gone in on top of it.

When more than one header is included under CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
the DECLARE_TRACE() macro is not defined back to its original meaning
and the second include will fail to initialize the TRACE_EVENT()
and DECLARE_TRACE() correctly.
To fix this the tracepoint.h file moves the define of DECLARE_TRACE()
out of the #ifdef _LINUX_TRACEPOINT_H protection (just like the
define of the TRACE_EVENT()). This way the define_trace.h will undef
the DECLARE_TRACE() at the end and allow new headers to start
from scratch.
This patch also requires fixing the include/events/napi.h
It currently uses DECLARE_TRACE() and should be converted to a TRACE_EVENT()
format. But I'll leave that change to the authors of that file.
But since the napi.h file depends on using the CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
and does not define its own DEFINE_TRACE() it must use the define_trace.h
method instead.

It is not quite obvious at first sight what TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE
does: does it define an event as well beyond defining a template?
To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows
the various 'DECLARE_*()' idioms we already have in the kernel:
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS(class)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event3)
To complete this logic we should also rename TRACE_EVENT() to:
DEFINE_SINGLE_EVENT(single_event)
... but in a more quiet moment of the kernel cycle.

The current syscall tracer mixes raw syscalls and real syscalls.
echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable
And we get these from the output:
(XXXX insteads " grep-20914 [001] 588211.446347" .. etc)
XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: 80609a8, count: 7000)
XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (3, 80609a8, 7000, a, 1000, bfce8ef8)
XXXX: sys_read -> 0x138
XXXX: sys_exit: NR 3 = 312
XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: 8060ae0, count: 7000)
XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (3, 8060ae0, 7000, a, 1000, bfce8ef8)
XXXX: sys_read -> 0x138
XXXX: sys_exit: NR 3 = 312
There are 2 drawbacks here.
A) two almost identical records are saved in ringbuffer
when a syscall enters or exits. (4 records for every syscall)
This wastes precious space in the ring buffer.
B) the lines including "sys_enter/sys_exit" produces
hardly any useful information for the output (no labels).
The user can use this method to prevent these drawbacks:
echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable
echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_enter/enable
echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_exit/enable
But this is not user friendly. So we separate raw syscall
from syscall tracer.
After this fix applied:
syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable):
XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: bfe87d88, count: 200)
XXXX: sys_read -> 0x200
XXXX: sys_fstat64(fd: 3, statbuf: bfe87c98)
XXXX: sys_fstat64 -> 0x0
XXXX: sys_close(fd: 3)
raw syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/raw_syscalls/enable):
XXXX: sys_enter: NR 175 (0, bf92bf18, bf92bf98, 8, b748cff4, bf92bef8)
XXXX: sys_exit: NR 175 = 0
XXXX: sys_enter: NR 175 (2, bf92bf98, 0, 8, b748cff4, bf92bef8)
XXXX: sys_exit: NR 175 = 0
XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (9, bf927f9c, 4000, b77e2518, b77dce60, bf92bff8)

Converting some of the scheduler trace events to use the
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, DEFINE_EVENT and DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT helped to
save some space:

104779 11896 2584 119259 1d1db kernel/sched.o-trace
sched.o-notrace is without any tracepoints compiled
sched.o-templ is with this patch
sched.o-trace is the tracepoints before this patch
The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT:
sched_wakeup, sched_wakeup_new, sched_process_free, sched_process_exit,
and sched_stat_wait.
The trace events converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT:
sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait.
Note, since the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE always uses a print, the
sched_stat_wait print format is defined in the template and this
template is used by sched_stat_sleep and sched_stat_iowait. But the
later two override the print format.

Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from
ext4_free_blocks(). This simplifies the code in a large number of
places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into
a single place.
Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
conversion. As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after
the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as
data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks. With
this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().

Lockdep events subsystem gathers various locking related events
such as a request, release, contention or acquisition of a lock.
The name of this event subsystem is a bit of a misnomer since
these events are not quite related to lockdep but more generally
to locking, ie: these events are not reporting lock dependencies
or possible deadlock scenario but pure locking events.
Hence this rename.

Now that we can filter based on fields via perf record, people
will start using filter expressions and will expect them to
be obvious.
The primary way to see which fields are available is by looking
at the trace output, such as:
gcc-18676 [000] 343.011728: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.012727: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.032692: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.033690: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.034687: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.035686: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
cc1-18677 [000] 343.036684: irq_handler_entry: irq=0 handler=timer
While 'irq==0' filters work, the 'handler==<x>' filter expression
does not work:
$ perf record -R -f -a -e irq:irq_handler_entry --filter handler=timer sleep 1
Error: failed to set filter with 22 (Invalid argument)
The problem is that while an 'irq' field exists and is recognized
as a filter field - 'handler' does not exist - its name is 'name'
in the output.
To solve this, we need to synchronize the printout and the field
names, wherever possible.
In cases where the printout prints a non-field, we enclose
that information in square brackets, such as:
perf-1380 [013] 724.903505: softirq_exit: vec=9 [action=RCU]
perf-1380 [013] 724.904482: softirq_exit: vec=1 [action=TIMER]
This way users can use filter expressions more intuitively: all
fields that show up as 'primary' (non-bracketed) information is
filterable.
This patch harmonizes the field names for all irq, bkl, power,
sched and timer events.
We might in fact think about dropping the print format bit of
generic tracepoints altogether, and just print the fields that
are being recorded.

This approach is the first baby step towards solving many of the
structural problems the x86 MCE logging code is having today:
- It has a private ring-buffer implementation that has a number
of limitations and has been historically fragile and buggy.
- It is using a quirky /dev/mcelog ioctl driven ABI that is MCE
specific. /dev/mcelog is not part of any larger logging
framework and hence has remained on the fringes for many years.
- The MCE logging code is still very unclean partly due to its ABI
limitations. Fields are being reused for multiple purposes, and
the whole message structure is limited and x86 specific to begin
with.
All in one, the x86 tree would like to move away from this private
implementation of an event logging facility to a broader framework.
By using perf events we gain the following advantages:
- Multiple user-space agents can access MCE events. We can have an
mcelog daemon running but also a system-wide tracer capturing
important events in flight-recorder mode.
- Sampling support: the kernel and the user-space call-chain of MCE
events can be stored and analyzed as well. This way actual patterns
of bad behavior can be matched to precisely what kind of activity
happened in the kernel (and/or in the app) around that moment in
time.
- Coupling with other hardware and software events: the PMU can track a
number of other anomalies - monitoring software might chose to
monitor those plus the MCE events as well - in one coherent stream of
events.
- Discovery of MCE sources - tracepoints are enumerated and tools can
act upon the existence (or non-existence) of various channels of MCE
information.
- Filtering support: we just subscribe to and act upon the events we
are interested in. Then even on a per event source basis there's
in-kernel filter expressions available that can restrict the amount
of data that hits the event channel.
- Arbitrary deep per cpu buffering of events - we can buffer 32
entries or we can buffer as much as we want, as long as we have
the RAM.
- An NMI-safe ring-buffer implementation - mappable to user-space.
- Built-in support for timestamping of events, PID markers, CPU
markers, etc.
- A rich ABI accessible over system call interface. Per cpu, per task
and per workload monitoring of MCE events can be done this way. The
ABI itself has a nice, meaningful structure.
- Extensible ABI: new fields can be added without breaking tooling.
New tracepoints can be added as the hardware side evolves. There's
various parsers that can be used.
- Lots of scheduling/buffering/batching modes of operandi for MCE
events. poll() support. mmap() support. read() support. You name it.
- Rich tooling support: even without any MCE specific extensions added
the 'perf' tool today offers various views of MCE data: perf report,
perf stat, perf trace can all be used to view logged MCE events and
perhaps correlate them to certain user-space usage patterns. But it
can be used directly as well, for user-space agents and policy action
in mcelog, etc.
With this we hope to achieve significant code cleanup and feature
improvements in the MCE code, and we hope to be able to drop the
/dev/mcelog facility in the end.
This patch is just a plain dumb dump of mce_log() records to
the tracepoints / perf events framework - a first proof of
concept step.

The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
introduced a CPU contention problem.

tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event

Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in
larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works
around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate
more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin
characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many
blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to
another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable,
max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per
inode.

Add two events lock_kernel and unlock_kernel() to trace the bkl uses.
This opens the door for userspace tools to perform statistics about
the callsites that use it, dependencies with other locks (by pairing
the trace with lock events), use with recursivity and so on...
The {__reacquire,release}_kernel_lock() events are not traced because
these are called from schedule, thus the sched events are sufficient
to trace them.
Example of a trace:
hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 165.875501: unlock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1358 __blkdev_put()
hald-addon-stor-4152 [000] 167.832974: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/block_dev.c:1167 __blkdev_get()
How to get the callsites that acquire it recursively:
cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl
echo "lock_depth > 0" > filter
firefox-4951 [001] 206.276967: unlock_kernel: depth: 1, fs/reiserfs/super.c:575 reiserfs_dirty_inode()
You can also filter by file and/or line.

The page allocation trace event reports that a page was successfully
allocated but it does not specify where it came from. When analysing
performance, it can be important to distinguish between pages coming from
the per-cpu allocator and pages coming from the buddy lists as the latter
requires the zone lock to the taken and more data structures to be
examined.
This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue reporting when a page is being
allocated from the buddy lists. It distinguishes between being called to
refill the per-cpu lists or whether it is a high-order allocation.
Similarly, this patch adds an event to catch when the PCP lists are being
drained a little and pages are going back to the buddy lists.
This is trickier to draw conclusions from but high activity on those
events could explain why there were a large number of cache misses on a
page-allocator-intensive workload. The coalescing and splitting of
buddies involves a lot of writing of page metadata and cache line bounces
not to mention the acquisition of an interrupt-safe lock necessary to
enter this path.

change the migratetype of the pageblock. Simplistically, the more times
this event occurs, the more likely that fragmentation will be a problem
later for hugepage allocation at least but there are other considerations
such as the order of page being split to satisfy the allocation.
This patch adds a trace event for __rmqueue_fallback() that reports what
page is being used for the fallback, the orders of relevant pages, the
desired migratetype and the migratetype of the lists being used, whether
the pageblock changed type and whether this event is important with
respect to fragmentation avoidance or not. This information can be used
to help analyse fragmentation avoidance and help decide whether
min_free_kbytes should be increased or not.

This patch adds trace events for the allocation and freeing of pages,
including the freeing of pagevecs. Using the events, it will be known
what struct page and pfns are being allocated and freed and what the call
site was in many cases.
The page alloc tracepoints be used as an indicator as to whether the
workload was heavily dependant on the page allocator or not. You can make
a guess based on vmstat but you can't get a per-process breakdown.
Depending on the call path, the call_site for page allocation may be
__get_free_pages() instead of a useful callsite. Instead of passing down
a return address similar to slab debugging, the user should enable the
stacktrace and seg-addr options to get a proper stack trace.
The pagevec free tracepoint has a different usecase. It can be used to
get a idea of how many pages are being dumped off the LRU and whether it
is kswapd doing the work or a process doing direct reclaim.

Using relative pathnames in #include statements interacts badly with
SystemTap, since the fs/ext4/*.h header files are not packaged up as
part of a distribution kernel's header files. Since systemtap doesn't
use TP_fast_assign(), we can use a blind structure definition and then
make sure the needed header files are defined before the ext4 source
files #include the trace/events/ext4.h header file.

This converts the syscall_enter/exit tracepoints into TRACE_EVENTs, so

sys_enter_foo events.

[ Impact: remove compile warnings ]
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
...
Cons:
- no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
But this may change in the future.
- A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
- In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.
And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
# ls -l -h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out

Changelog from v2 -> v3:
- use the newly introduced __dynamic_array().
Changelog from v1 -> v2:
- use __string() instead of __array() to minimize the memory required
to store hex dump of rq->cmd().
- support large pc requests.
- add missing blk_fill_rwbs_rq() in block_rq_requeue TRACE_EVENT.
- some cleanups.

After converting the softirq tracer to use te flags options, this
caused a regression with the name. Since the flag was used directly
it was printed out (i.e. HRTIMER_SOFTIRQ).
This patch only shows the softirq name without the SOFTIRQ part.

v3: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Change TRACE_EVENT definition to new format
introduced by Steven Rostedt: consolidate trace and trace_event headers
v2: kosaki@jp.fujitsu.com: print the function names instead of addr, and zap
the work addr
v1: zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com: Make workqueue tracepoints use TRACE_EVENT macro
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints.
Doing so adds these new capabilities to the tracepoints:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
Then, this patch converts DEFINE_TRACE to TRACE_EVENT in workqueue related
tracepoints.

The recording of the names at trace time is inefficient. This patch
implements the softirq event recording to only record the vector
and then use the __print_symbolic interface to print out the names.

This patch changes the output for gfp_flags from being a simple hex value
to the actual names.
gfp_flags=GFP_ATOMIC instead of gfp_flags=00000020
And even
gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL instead of gfp_flags=000000d0
(Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing out that the first version
had a bad order of GFP masks)

It is useful to see the state of a task that is being switched out.
This patch adds the output of the state of the previous task in
the context switch event.

The orig_cpu parameter in trace_sched_migrate_task() is not necessary,
it can be got by using task_cpu(p) in the probe.

The TRACE_FORMAT will soon be deprecated. This patch converts it to
the TRACE_EVENT macro.
Note, this change should also speed up the tracing.

Now that we can support the dynamic sized string, make the lock tracing
able to use it, making it safe against modules removal and consuming
the right amount of memory needed for each lock name
Changes in v2:
adapt to the __ending_string() updates and the opening_string() removal.

Impact: clean up
Create a sub directory in include/trace called events to keep the
trace point headers in their own separate directory. Only headers that
declare trace points should be defined in this directory.
