tracing: Use a global field list for all syscall exit events

2010-06-28T21:12:44Z

All syscall exit events have the same fields. The kernel size drops 2.5K: text data bss dec hex filename 7018612 2034376 7251132 16304120 f8c7f8 vmlinux.o.orig 7018612 2031888 7251132 16301632 f8be40 vmlinux.o Signed-off-by: Li Zefan LKML-Reference: <4BFA3746.8070100@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Allow events to share their print functions

2010-05-14T18:20:32Z

Multiple events may use the same method to print their data. Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions, the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure that will hold the way to print ouf the event. The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print function know what kind of event it should print. This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print their output. text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900382 1048964 861512 6810858 67ecea vmlinux.init 4900446 1049028 861512 6810986 67ed6a vmlinux.preprint This change slightly increases the size but is needed for the next change. v3: Fix the branch tracer events to handle this change. v2: Fix the new function graph tracer event calls to handle this change.

tracing: Move fields from event to class structure

2010-05-14T18:20:23Z

Move the defined fields from the event to the class structure. Since the fields of the event are defined by the class they belong to, it makes sense to have the class hold the information instead of the individual events. The events of the same class would just hold duplicate information. After this change the size of the kernel dropped another 3K: text data bss dec hex filename 4913961 1088356 861512 6863829 68bbd5 vmlinux.orig 4900252 1057412 861512 6819176 680d68 vmlinux.regs 4900375 1053380 861512 6815267 67fe23 vmlinux.fields Although the text increased, this was mainly due to the C files having to adapt to the change. This is a constant increase, where new tracepoints will not increase the Text. But the big drop is in the data size (as well as needed allocations to hold the fields). This will give even more savings as more tracepoints are created. Note, if just TRACE_EVENT()s are used and not DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() with several DEFINE_EVENT()s, then the savings will be lost. But we are pushing developers to consolidate events with DEFINE_EVENT() so this should not be an issue. The kprobes define a unique class to every new event, but are dynamic so it should not be a issue. The syscalls however have a single class but the fields for the individual events are different. The syscalls use a metadata to define the fields. I moved the fields list from the event to the metadata and added a "get_fields()" function to the class. This function is used to find the fields. For normal events and kprobes, get_fields() just returns a pointer to the fields list_head in the class. For syscall events, it returns the fields list_head in the metadata for the event. v2: Fixed the syscall fields. The syscall metadata needs a list of fields for both enter and exit.

perf: Drop the obsolete profile naming for trace events

Drop the obsolete "profile" naming used by perf for trace events. Perf can now do more than simple events counting, so generalize the API naming. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Jason Baron

tracing: Remove show_format and related macros from TRACE_EVENT

2010-01-06T17:08:46Z

The previous patches added the use of print_fmt string and changes the trace_define_field() function to also create the fields and format output for the event format files. text data bss dec hex filename 5857201 1355780 9336808 16549789 fc879d vmlinux 5884589 1351684 9337896 16574169 fce6d9 vmlinux-orig The above shows the size of the vmlinux after this patch set compared to the vmlinux-orig which is before the patch set. This saves us 27k on text, 1k on bss and adds just 4k of data. The total savings of 24k in size.

perf events: Remove CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE

2009-12-28T09:33:06Z

Quoted from Ingo: | This reminds me - i think we should eliminate CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE - | it's an unnecessary Kconfig complication. If both PERF_EVENTS and | EVENT_TRACING is enabled we should expose generic tracepoints. | | Nor is it limited to event 'profiling', so it has become a misnomer as | well.
