  • Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"]

    putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost
    similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function.

    This patch (of 4):

    The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to
    shrink_inactive_list(). This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more
    similar to move_active_pages_to_lru().

    To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate.
    Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside
    shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages
    for the both types. So, nr_activate becomes an array.

    Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we
    account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of
    pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

  • Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to
    synthetic_event_name(params).

    Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to
    invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name
    as a function call.

    Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the
    synthetic event is in effect being traced. In this version, a new
    'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in
    as the first argument.

    In addition, for the sake of consistency with other actions, change
    the documention to emphasize the trace() form over the function-call
    form, which remains documented as equivalent.

  • Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the
    functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The
    process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer
    (which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert
    the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed
    in.

    When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary
    bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit.
    But this requires passing in half of the functions in
    available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a
    O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000
    opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes.

    As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files,
    instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding
    line of the available_filter_functions file. That is:

    # echo 50 > set_ftrace_filter
    # cat set_ftrace_filter
    x86_pmu_commit_txn

    # head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1
    x86_pmu_commit_txn

    This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in
    less than a second!

    # time seq 20000 > set_ftrace_filter
    real 0m0.042s
    user 0m0.005s
    sys 0m0.015s

    # wc -l set_ftrace_filter
    20000 set_ftrace_filter

  • Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

    - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
    the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.

    - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
    will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
    callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
    kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.

    - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
    features to the histograms in the future.

    - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
    a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
    returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
    the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.

    - A few other various clean ups as well.

  • Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
    "The biggest change here is the updates to kprobes

    Back in January I posted patches to create function based events.
    These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to
    easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After
    posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement
    this instead with kprobes.

    The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and
    needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and
    I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in
    the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches,
    and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface.

    - If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a
    kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc
    to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to
    know what register or where on the stack the argument was).

    - The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you
    reference a mac address, you can add:

    echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' > kprobe_events

    And this will produce:

    mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec}

    Other changes include

    - Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules

    - Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove
    tracing itself, as we keep removing too much).

    - Added support for SDT in uprobes"

    at the function entry.

    Note that this returns most probably assignment of registers
    and stacks. In some case, it may not work well. If you need
    to access correct registers or stacks you should use perf-probe.

  • Add array type support for probe events.
    This allows user to get arraied types from memory address.
    The array type syntax is

    TYPE[N]

    Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64,
    x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less
    than 64.

    The string array type is a bit different from other types. For
    other base types, [1] is equal to
    (e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not
    equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array",
    but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example,
    +0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

  • Add "symbol" type to probeevent, which is an alias of u32 or u64
    (depends on BITS_PER_LONG). This shows the result value in
    symbol+offset style. This type is only available with kprobe
    events.

  • systrace used for tracing for Android systems has carried a patch for
    many years in the Android tree that traces when the cpufreq limits
    change. With the help of this information, systrace can know when the
    policy limits change and can visually display the data. Lets add
    upstream support for the same.

  • Despite being mentioned at Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst as a
    rst file, this file was still a text one, with several issues.

    Convert it to ReST and add it to the trace index:
    - Mark the document title as such;
    - Identify and indent the literal blocks;
    - Use the proper markups for table.
