From f413cdb80ce00ec1a4d0ab949b5d96c81cae7f75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 01:25:54 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: Fix/complete ftrace event records sampling This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event record sampling. A new counter sampling attribute is added: PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the perfcounter event buffer, as a sample. Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020. Translation: struct trace_entry { type = 0x2b = 43; flags = 1; preempt_count = 2; pid = 0xa = 10; tgid = 0xa = 10; } thread_comm = "events/1" thread_pid = 0xa = 10; func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc() What will come next? - Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode for perf trace, etc. - The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity. That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity protection. - [...] - Profit! :-) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Li Zefan Cc: Tom Zanussi Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Pekka Enberg Cc: Gabriel Munteanu Cc: Lai Jiangshan Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- kernel/perf_counter.c | 18 +++++++++++++++++- kernel/trace/trace.c | 1 + kernel/trace/trace.h | 4 ---- 3 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'kernel') diff --git a/kernel/perf_counter.c b/kernel/perf_counter.c index 52eb4b68d34..868102172aa 100644 --- a/kernel/perf_counter.c +++ b/kernel/perf_counter.c @@ -2646,6 +2646,7 @@ static void perf_counter_output(struct perf_counter *counter, int nmi, u64 counter; } group_entry; struct perf_callchain_entry *callchain = NULL; + struct perf_tracepoint_record *tp; int callchain_size = 0; u64 time; struct { @@ -2714,6 +2715,11 @@ static void perf_counter_output(struct perf_counter *counter, int nmi, header.size += sizeof(u64); } + if (sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD) { + tp = data->private; + header.size += tp->size; + } + ret = perf_output_begin(&handle, counter, header.size, nmi, 1); if (ret) return; @@ -2777,6 +2783,9 @@ static void perf_counter_output(struct perf_counter *counter, int nmi, } } + if (sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD) + perf_output_copy(&handle, tp->record, tp->size); + perf_output_end(&handle); } @@ -3703,11 +3712,18 @@ static const struct pmu perf_ops_task_clock = { }; #ifdef CONFIG_EVENT_PROFILE -void perf_tpcounter_event(int event_id, u64 addr, u64 count) +void perf_tpcounter_event(int event_id, u64 addr, u64 count, void *record, + int entry_size) { + struct perf_tracepoint_record tp = { + .size = entry_size, + .record = record, + }; + struct perf_sample_data data = { .regs = get_irq_regs(), .addr = addr, + .private = &tp, }; if (!data.regs) diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace.c b/kernel/trace/trace.c index 8930e39b9d8..c22b40f8f57 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace.c @@ -848,6 +848,7 @@ tracing_generic_entry_update(struct trace_entry *entry, unsigned long flags, ((pc & SOFTIRQ_MASK) ?
