This patch adds the new function selection commands traceon and
traceoff. traceon sets the function to enable the ring buffers
while traceoff disables the ring buffers. You can pass in the
number of times you want the command to be executed when the function
is hit. It will only execute if the state of the buffers are not
already in that state.
Example:
# echo do_fork:traceon:4
Will enable the ring buffers if they are disabled every time it
hits do_fork, up to 4 times.
# echo sys_close:traceoff
This will disable the ring buffers every time (unlimited) when
sys_close is called.

Impact: new feature
Currently, the function tracer only gives you an ability to hook
a tracer to all functions being traced. The dynamic function trace
allows you to pick and choose which of those functions will be
traced, but all functions being traced will call all tracers that
registered with the function tracer.
This patch adds a new feature that allows a tracer to hook to specific
functions, even when all functions are being traced. It allows for
different functions to call different tracer hooks.
The way this is accomplished is by a special function that will hook
to the function tracer and will set up a hash table knowing which
tracer hook to call with which function. This is the most general
and easiest method to accomplish this. Later, an arch may choose
to supply their own method in changing the mcount call of a function
to call a different tracer. But that will be an exercise for the
future.
To register a function:
struct ftrace_hook_ops {
void (*func)(unsigned long ip,
unsigned long parent_ip,
void **data);
int (*callback)(unsigned long ip, void **data);
void (*free)(void **data);
};
int register_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops,
void *data);
glob is a simple glob to search for the functions to hook.
ops is a pointer to the operations (listed below)
data is the default data to be passed to the hook functions when traced
ops:
func is the hook function to call when the functions are traced
callback is a callback function that is called when setting up the hash.
That is, if the tracer needs to do something special for each
function, that is being traced, and wants to give each function
its own data. The address of the entry data is passed to this
callback, so that the callback may wish to update the entry to
whatever it would like.
free is a callback for when the entry is freed. In case the tracer
allocated any data, it is give the chance to free it.
To unregister we have three functions:
void
unregister_ftrace_function_hook(char *glob, struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops,
void *data)
This will unregister all hooks that match glob, point to ops, and
have its data matching data. (note, if glob is NULL, blank or '*',
all functions will be tested).
void
unregister_ftrace_function_hook_func(char *glob,
struct ftrace_hook_ops *ops)
This will unregister all functions matching glob that has an entry
pointing to ops.
void unregister_ftrace_function_hook_all(char *glob)
This simply unregisters all funcs.

Impact: clean up
Now that ftrace_lock is a mutex, there is no reason to have three
different mutexes protecting similar data. All the mutex paths
are not in hot paths, so having a mutex to cover more data is
not a problem.
This patch removes the ftrace_sysctl_lock and ftrace_start_lock
and uses the ftrace_lock to protect the locations that were protected
by these locks. By doing so, this change also removes some of
the lock nesting that was taking place.
There are still more mutexes in ftrace.c that can probably be
consolidated, but they can be dealt with later. We need to be careful
about the way the locks are nested, and by consolidating, we can cause
a recursive deadlock.

Impact: fix to prevent empty set_ftrace_filter and no ftrace output
The function filter is used to only trace a given set of functions.
The filter is enabled when a function name is echoed into the
set_ftrace_filter file. But if the name has a typo and the function
is not found, the filter is enabled, but no function is listed.
This makes a confusing situation where set_ftrace_filter is empty
but no functions ever get enabled for tracing.
For example:
# cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
# echo bad_name > set_ftrace_filter
# cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# echo function > current_tracer
# cat trace
# tracer: nop
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
This patch changes that to only enable filtering if a function
is set to be filtered on. Now, the filter is not enabled if
a bad name is echoed into set_ftrace_filter.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
This patch adds a "command" syntax to the function filtering files:
/debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
/debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace
Of the format: <function>:<command>:<parameter>
The command is optional, and dependent on the command, so are
the parameters.
echo do_fork > set_ftrace_filter
Will only trace 'do_fork'.
echo 'sched_*' > set_ftrace_filter
Will only trace functions starting with the letters 'sched_'.
echo '*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter
Will trace only the ext3 module functions.
echo '*write*:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_notrace
Will prevent the ext3 functions with the letters 'write' in
the name from being traced.
echo '!*_allocate:mod:ext3' > set_ftrace_filter
Will remove the functions in ext3 that end with the letters
'_allocate' from the ftrace filter.
Although this patch implements the 'command' format, only the
'mod' command is supported. More commands to follow.

ftrace_match_records does a lot of things that other features
can use. This patch breaks up ftrace_match_records and pulls
out ftrace_setup_glob and ftrace_match_record.
ftrace_setup_glob prepares a simple glob expression for use with
ftrace_match_record. ftrace_match_record compares a single record
with a glob type.
Breaking this up will allow for more features to run on individual
records.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
Impact: clean up
ftrace_match is too generic of a name. What it really does is
search all records and matches the records with the given string,
and either sets or unsets the functions to be traced depending
on if the parameter 'enable' is set or not.
This allows us to make another function called ftrace_match that
can be used to test a single record.

Impact: clean up
To iterate over all the functions that dynamic trace knows about
it requires two for loops. One to iterate over the pages and the
other to iterate over the records within the page.
There are several duplications of these loops in ftrace.c. This
patch creates the macros do_for_each_ftrace_rec and
while_for_each_ftrace_rec to handle this logic, and removes the
duplicate code.
While making this change, I also discovered and fixed a small
bug that one of the iterations should exit the loop after it found the
record it was searching for. This used a break when it should have
used a goto, since there were two loops it needed to break out
from. No real harm was done by this bug since it would only continue
to search the other records, and the code was in a slow path anyway.

Impact: cosmetic change in Kconfig menu layout
This patch was originally suggested by Peter Zijlstra, but seems it
was forgotten.
CONFIG_MMIOTRACE and CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST were selectable
directly under the Kernel hacking / debugging menu in the kernel
configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64.
Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own
sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there.
Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture
specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by
x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets:
function();
whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following:
function() {
}
This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files.
On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can
check the next entry.
There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked
and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while
we don't consume it.
This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing
core to not consume the current entry after printing it.
We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check
the next one.
Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.
