From 1b29b01887e6032dcaf818c14999c7a39593b4e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 21:20:42 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: function tracer This is a simple trace that uses the ftrace infrastructure. It is designed to be fast and small, and easy to use. It is useful to record things that happen over a very short period of time, and not to analyze the system in general. Updates: available_tracers "function" is added to this file. current_tracer To enable the function tracer: echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer The output of the function_trace file is as follows "echo noverbose > /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl" preemption latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.24-rc7-tst Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar -------------------------------------------------------------------- latency: 0 us, #419428/4361791, CPU#1 | (M:desktop VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) ----------------- | task: -0 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0) ----------------- _------=> CPU# / _-----=> irqs-off | / _----=> need-resched || / _---=> hardirq/softirq ||| / _--=> preempt-depth |||| / ||||| delay cmd pid ||||| time | caller \ / ||||| \ | / swapper-0 0d.h. 1595128us+: set_normalized_timespec+0x8/0x2d (ktime_get_ts+0x4a/0x4e ) swapper-0 0d.h. 1595131us+: _spin_lock+0x8/0x18 (hrtimer_interrupt+0x6e/0x1b0 ) Or with verbose turned on: "echo verbose > /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl" preemption latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.24-rc7-tst -------------------------------------------------------------------- latency: 0 us, #419428/4361791, CPU#1 | (M:desktop VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:4) ----------------- | task: -0 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0) ----------------- swapper 0 0 9 00000000 00000000 [f3675f41] 1595.128ms (+0.003ms): set_normalized_timespec+0x8/0x2d (ktime_get_ts+0x4a/0x4e ) swapper 0 0 9 00000000 00000001 [f3675f45] 1595.131ms (+0.003ms): _spin_lock+0x8/0x18 (hrtimer_interrupt+0x6e/0x1b0 ) swapper 0 0 9 00000000 00000002 [f3675f48] 1595.135ms (+0.003ms): _spin_lock+0x8/0x18 (hrtimer_interrupt+0x6e/0x1b0 ) The "trace" file is not affected by the verbose mode, but is by the symonly. echo "nosymonly" > /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl tracer: [ 81.479967] CPU 0: bash:3154 register_ftrace_function+0x5f/0x66 <-- _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0xe/0x5a [ 81.479967] CPU 0: bash:3154 _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x3e/0x5a <-- sub_preempt_count+0xc/0x7a [ 81.479968] CPU 0: bash:3154 sub_preempt_count+0x30/0x7a <-- in_lock_functions+0x9/0x24 [ 81.479968] CPU 0: bash:3154 vfs_write+0x11d/0x155 <-- dnotify_parent+0x12/0x78 [ 81.479968] CPU 0: bash:3154 dnotify_parent+0x2d/0x78 <-- _spin_lock+0xe/0x70 [ 81.479969] CPU 0: bash:3154 _spin_lock+0x1b/0x70 <-- add_preempt_count+0xe/0x77 [ 81.479969] CPU 0: bash:3154 add_preempt_count+0x3e/0x77 <-- in_lock_functions+0x9/0x24 echo "symonly" > /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl tracer: [ 81.479913] CPU 0: bash:3154 register_ftrace_function+0x5f/0x66 <-- _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0xe/0x5a [ 81.479913] CPU 0: bash:3154 _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x3e/0x5a <-- sub_preempt_count+0xc/0x7a [ 81.479913] CPU 0: bash:3154 sub_preempt_count+0x30/0x7a <-- in_lock_functions+0x9/0x24 [ 81.479914] CPU 0: bash:3154 vfs_write+0x11d/0x155 <-- dnotify_parent+0x12/0x78 [ 81.479914] CPU 0: bash:3154 dnotify_parent+0x2d/0x78 <-- _spin_lock+0xe/0x70 [ 81.479914] CPU 0: bash:3154 _spin_lock+0x1b/0x70 <-- add_preempt_count+0xe/0x77 [ 81.479914] CPU 0: bash:3154 add_preempt_count+0x3e/0x77 <-- in_lock_functions+0x9/0x24 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner --- kernel/trace/Kconfig | 13 ++++++++ kernel/trace/Makefile | 1 + kernel/trace/trace_functions.c | 73 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 87 insertions(+) create mode 100644 kernel/trace/trace_functions.c diff --git a/kernel/trace/Kconfig b/kernel/trace/Kconfig index ce70677afbf9..1399f372b5dc 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/Kconfig +++ b/kernel/trace/Kconfig @@ -8,3 +8,16 @@ config TRACING bool select DEBUG_FS +config FTRACE + bool "Kernel Function Tracer" + depends on DEBUG_KERNEL && HAVE_FTRACE + select FRAME_POINTER + select TRACING + help + Enable the kernel to trace every kernel function.
