In Dec 2006 - Jan 2007, using the code from Intel, +Jeff Muizelaar created a tool for tracing MMIO accesses with the Nouveau +project in mind. Since then many people have contributed. + +Mmiotrace was built for reverse engineering any memory-mapped IO device with +the Nouveau project as the first real user. Only x86 and x86_64 architectures +are supported. + +Out-of-tree mmiotrace was originally modified for mainline inclusion and +ftrace framework by Pekka Paalanen <pq@iki.fi>. + + +Preparation +----------- + +Mmiotrace feature is compiled in by the CONFIG_MMIOTRACE option. Tracing is +disabled by default, so it is safe to have this set to yes. SMP systems are +supported, but tracing is unreliable and may miss events if more than one CPU +is on-line, therefore mmiotrace takes all but one CPU off-line during run-time +activation. You can re-enable CPUs by hand, but you have been warned, there +is no way to automatically detect if you are losing events due to CPUs racing. + + +Usage Quick Reference +--------------------- + +$ mount -t debugfs debugfs /debug +$ echo mmiotrace > /debug/tracing/current_tracer +$ cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe > mydump.txt & +Start X or whatever. +$ echo "X is up" > /debug/tracing/marker +$ echo none > /debug/tracing/current_tracer +Check for lost events. + + +Usage +----- + +Make sure debugfs is mounted to /debug. If not, (requires root privileges) +$ mount -t debugfs debugfs /debug + +Check that the driver you are about to trace is not loaded. + +Activate mmiotrace (requires root privileges): +$ echo mmiotrace > /debug/tracing/current_tracer + +Start storing the trace: +$ cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe > mydump.txt & +The 'cat' process should stay running (sleeping) in the background. + +Load the driver you want to trace and use it. Mmiotrace will only catch MMIO +accesses to areas that are ioremapped while mmiotrace is active. + +[Unimplemented feature:] +During tracing you can place comments (markers) into the trace by +$ echo "X is up" > /debug/tracing/marker +This makes it easier to see which part of the (huge) trace corresponds to +which action. It is recommended to place descriptive markers about what you +do. + +Shut down mmiotrace (requires root privileges): +$ echo none > /debug/tracing/current_tracer +The 'cat' process exits. If it does not, kill it by issuing 'fg' command and +pressing ctrl+c. + +Check that mmiotrace did not lose events due to a buffer filling up. Either +$ grep -i lost mydump.txt +which tells you exactly how many events were lost, or use +$ dmesg +to view your kernel log and look for "mmiotrace has lost events" warning. If +events were lost, the trace is incomplete. You should enlarge the buffers and +try again. Buffers are enlarged by first seeing how large the current buffers +are: +$ cat /debug/tracing/trace_entries +gives you a number. Approximately double this number and write it back, for +instance: +$ echo 128000 > /debug/tracing/trace_entries +Then start again from the top. + +If you are doing a trace for a driver project, e.g. Nouveau, you should also +do the following before sending your results: +$ lspci -vvv > lspci.txt +$ dmesg > dmesg.txt +$ tar zcf pciid-nick-mmiotrace.tar.gz mydump.txt lspci.txt dmesg.txt +and then send the .tar.gz file. The trace compresses considerably. Replace +"pciid" and "nick" with the PCI ID or model name of your piece of hardware +under investigation and your nick name. + + +How Mmiotrace Works +------------------- + +Access to hardware IO-memory is gained by mapping addresses from PCI bus by +calling one of the ioremap_*() functions. Mmiotrace is hooked into the +__ioremap() function and gets called whenever a mapping is created. Mapping is +an event that is recorded into the trace log. Note, that ISA range mappings +are not caught, since the mapping always exists and is returned directly. + +MMIO accesses are recorded via page faults. Just before __ioremap() returns, +the mapped pages are marked as not present. Any access to the pages causes a +fault. The page fault handler calls mmiotrace to handle the fault. Mmiotrace +marks the page present, sets TF flag to achieve single stepping and exits the +fault handler. The instruction that faulted is executed and debug trap is +entered. Here mmiotrace again marks the page as not present. The instruction +is decoded to get the type of operation (read/write), data width and the value +read or written. These are stored to the trace log. + +Setting the page present in the page fault handler has a race condition on SMP +machines. During the single stepping other CPUs may run freely on that page +and events can be missed without a notice. Re-enabling other CPUs during +tracing is discouraged. + + +Trace Log Format +---------------- + +The raw log is text and easily filtered with e.g. grep and awk. One record is +one line in the log. A record starts with a keyword, followed by keyword +dependant arguments. Arguments are separated by a space, or continue until the +end of line. The format for version 20070824 is as follows: + +Explanation Keyword Space separated arguments +--------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +read event R width, timestamp, map id, physical, value, PC, PID +write event W width, timestamp, map id, physical, value, PC, PID +ioremap event MAP timestamp, map id, physical, virtual, length, PC, PID +iounmap event UNMAP timestamp, map id, PC, PID +marker MARK timestamp, text +version VERSION the string "20070824" +info for reader LSPCI one line from lspci -v +PCI address map PCIDEV space separated /proc/bus/pci/devices data +unk. opcode UNKNOWN timestamp, map id, physical, data, PC, PID + +Timestamp is in seconds with decimals. Physical is a PCI bus address, virtual +is a kernel virtual address. Width is the data width in bytes and value is the +data value. Map id is an arbitrary id number identifying the mapping that was +used in an operation. PC is the program counter and PID is process id. PC is +zero if it is not recorded. PID is always zero as tracing MMIO accesses +originating in user space memory is not yet supported. + +For instance, the following awk filter will pass all 32-bit writes that target +physical addresses in the range [0xfb73ce40, 0xfb800000[ + +$ awk '/W 4 / { adr=strtonum($5); if (adr >= 0xfb73ce40 && +adr < 0xfb800000) print; }' + + +Tools for Developers +-------------------- + +The user space tools include utilities for: +- replacing numeric addresses and values with hardware register names +- replaying MMIO logs, i.e., re-executing the recorded writes + + @@ -528,6 +528,10 @@ KBUILD_CFLAGS += -g KBUILD_AFLAGS += -gdwarf-2 endif +ifdef CONFIG_FTRACE +KBUILD_CFLAGS += -pg +endif + # We trigger additional mismatches with less inlining ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option, -fno-inline-functions-called-once) diff --git a/arch/arm/Kconfig b/arch/arm/Kconfig index b786e68914d..3845e5c8a34 100644 --- a/arch/arm/Kconfig +++ b/arch/arm/Kconfig @@ -14,6 +14,8 @@ config ARM select HAVE_OPROFILE select HAVE_KPROBES if (!XIP_KERNEL) select HAVE_KRETPROBES if (HAVE_KPROBES) + select HAVE_FTRACE if (!XIP_KERNEL) + select HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE if (HAVE_FTRACE) help The ARM series is a line of low-power-consumption RISC chip designs licensed by ARM Ltd and targeted at embedded applications and diff --git a/arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile b/arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile index de9d9ee5095..95baac4939e 100644 --- a/arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile @@ -69,6 +69,12 @@ SEDFLAGS = s/TEXT_START/$(ZTEXTADDR)/;s/BSS_START/$(ZBSSADDR)/ targets := vmlinux vmlinux.lds piggy.gz piggy.o font.o font.c \ head.o misc.o $(OBJS) + +ifeq ($(CONFIG_FTRACE),y) +ORIG_CFLAGS := $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) +KBUILD_CFLAGS = $(subst -pg, , $(ORIG_CFLAGS)) +endif + EXTRA_CFLAGS := -fpic -fno-builtin EXTRA_AFLAGS := diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/Makefile b/arch/arm/kernel/Makefile index ad455ff5aeb..eb9092ca800 100644 --- a/arch/arm/kernel/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm/kernel/Makefile @@ -4,6 +4,10 @@ AFLAGS_head.o := -DTEXT_OFFSET=$(TEXT_OFFSET) +ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE +CFLAGS_REMOVE_ftrace.o = -pg +endif + # Object file lists. obj-y := compat.o entry-armv.o entry-common.o irq.o \ @@ -18,6 +22,7 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_ARTHUR) += arthur.o obj-$(CONFIG_ISA_DMA) += dma-isa.o obj-$(CONFIG_PCI) += bios32.o isa.o obj-$(CONFIG_SMP) += smp.o +obj-$(CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE) += ftrace.o obj-$(CONFIG_KEXEC) += machine_kexec.o relocate_kernel.o obj-$(CONFIG_KPROBES) += kprobes.o kprobes-decode.o obj-$(CONFIG_ATAGS_PROC) += atags.o diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c b/arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c index 688b7b1ee41..cc7b246e965 100644 --- a/arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c +++ b/arch/arm/kernel/armksyms.c @@ -18,6 +18,7 @@ #include <asm/io.h> #include <asm/system.h> #include <asm/uaccess.h> +#include <asm/ftrace.h> /* * libgcc functions - functions that are used internally by the @@ -181,3 +182,7 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(_find_next_bit_be); #endif EXPORT_SYMBOL(copy_page |
