2ed84eeb88 trace: rename unlikely profiler to branch profiler
Impact: name change of unlikely tracer and profiler

Ingo Molnar suggested changing the config from UNLIKELY_PROFILE
to BRANCH_PROFILING. I never did like the "unlikely" name so I
went one step farther, and renamed all the unlikely configurations
to a "BRANCH" variant.

52f232cb72 tracing: likely/unlikely branch annotation tracer
Impact: new likely/unlikely branch tracer

This patch adds a way to record the instances of the likely() and unlikely()
branch condition annotations.

When "unlikely" is set in /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl the unlikely conditions
will be added to any of the ftrace tracers. The change takes effect when
a new tracer is passed into the current_tracer file.

For example:

 bash-3471  [003]   357.014755: [INCORRECT] sched_info_dequeued:sched_stats.h:177
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014756: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014758: [correct] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014759: [correct] account_group_exec_runtime:sched_stats.h:356
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014761: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014763: [INCORRECT] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014765: [correct] calc_delta_mine:sched.c:1279

Which shows the normal tracer heading, as well as whether the condition was
correct "[correct]" or was mistaken "[INCORRECT]", followed by the function,
file name and line number.

1f0d69a9fc tracing: profile likely and unlikely annotations
Impact: new unlikely/likely profiler

Andrew Morton recently suggested having an in-kernel way to profile
likely and unlikely macros. This patch achieves that goal.

When configured, every(*) likely and unlikely macro gets a counter attached
to it. When the condition is hit, the hit and misses of that condition
are recorded. These numbers can later be retrieved by:

  /debugfs/tracing/profile_likely    - All likely markers
  /debugfs/tracing/profile_unlikely  - All unlikely markers.

As you can see by the above, there's a bit of work to do in rethinking
the use of some unlikelys and likelys. Note: the unlikely case had 71 hits
that were more than 25%.

Note:  After submitting my first version of this patch, Andrew Morton
  showed me a version written by Daniel Walker, where I picked up
  the following ideas from:

  1)  Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values.
  2)  Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers.
  3)  Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely
       annotations from vsyscall_64.c.

Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar
for their feed back on this patch.

(*) Not ever unlikely is recorded, those that are used by vsyscalls
 (a few of them) had to have profiling disabled.

15e6cb3673 tracing: add a tracer to catch execution time of kernel functions
Impact: add new tracing plugin which can trace full (entry+exit) function calls

This tracer uses the low level function return ftrace plugin to
measure the execution time of the kernel functions.

The first field is the caller of the function, the second is the
measured function, and the last one is the execution time in
nanoseconds.

- v3:

- HAVE_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER have been added. Each arch that support ftrace return
  should enable it.
- ftrace_return_stub becomes ftrace_stub.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER depends now on CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
- Return traces printing can be used for other tracers on trace.c
- Adapt to the new tracing API (no more ctrl_update callback)
- Correct the check of "disabled" during insertion.
- Minor changes...

606576ce81 ftrace: rename FTRACE to FUNCTION_TRACER
Due to confusion between the ftrace infrastructure and the gcc profiling
tracer "ftrace", this patch renames the config options from FTRACE to
FUNCTION_TRACER.  The other two names that are offspring from FTRACE
DYNAMIC_FTRACE and FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD will stay the same.

This patch was generated mostly by script, and partially by hand.

7a8e76a382 tracing: unified trace buffer
This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that
hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use.

The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure:

  struct ring_buffer_event {
	u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27;
	u32 array[];
  };

The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte
aligned inside the buffer.

There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only
the data type is exported to the interface users).

 RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end
	of a buffer page.

 RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events
	is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another
	32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size).

 RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to
	help keep the buffer timestamps in sync.

RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data.

The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be
4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a
max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28
bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the
data load and the len field is set to zero.

Example, data size of 7 bytes:

	type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
	len = 2
	time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
	array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty>

This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer.

An event with 82 bytes of data:

	type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
	len = 0
	time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
	array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment)
	array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty>

The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct).
82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.

Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following
functions to gain access to the event table, since the
ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future.

ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event.
	This is the size of the memory used to record this
	event, and not the size of the data pay load.

ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event
	This returns the delta time stamp since the last event.
	Note: Even though this is in the header, there should
		be no reason to access this directly, accept
		for debugging.

ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event
	This is the function to use to get the actual data
	from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the
	data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to
	another location otherwise you risk it being written
	over in the buffer.

ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer.
ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer.

ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between
	overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will
	overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will
	throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the
	producer.  The consumer/producer is the default.

ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer.

ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu
	buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that
	the buffer is not being used while this is happening.
	This requirement may go away but do not count on it.

ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an
	entry on the buffer to write to.
ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to
	the buffer.

ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer.

ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and
	consume it. That is, this function increments the head
	pointer.

ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer.
	For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue
	a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator
	to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future.
	But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which
	is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want
	to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not
	disable the ring buffer.

ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables
	the ring buffer.

ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator.
ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it.
ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning
	of the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end
	of the cpu buffer.

ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer.
	Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs.

ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty
ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty

ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a
	cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you
	want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one
	cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.
	Ftrace max latencies use this.

ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty.
ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty.

ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only)
ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only)
ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers.
ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer.

ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer.
ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap.

ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer
ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp
	into nanosecs.

I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from
the cpu frequency infrastructure.  But this can be done at a later
time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

e5a81b629e ftrace: add stack tracer
This is another tracer using the ftrace infrastructure, that examines
at each function call the size of the stack. If the stack use is greater
than the previous max it is recorded.

You can always see (and set) the max stack size seen. By setting it
to zero will start the recording again. The backtrace is also available.

Patch attached in the end. Nice to see how much code disappeared. I tried
to mark all the features I had to break with XXX-comments.

d05cdb25d8 ftrace: fix dynamic ftrace selftest
With the adding of the configuration changes in the Makefile to prevent
tracing of functions in the ftrace code, all tracing of all the ftrace
code has been removed. Unfortunately, one of the selftests, relied on
a function to be traced. With the new change, the function was no longer
traced and the test failed.

This patch separates out the test function into its own file so that
we can add the "-pg" flag to the compilation of that function and the
adding of the mcount call to that function.

6cd8a4bb2f ftrace: trace preempt off critical timings
Add preempt off timings. A lot of kernel core code is taken from the RT patch
latency trace that was written by Ingo Molnar.

This adds "preemptoff" and "preemptirqsoff" to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers

Now instead of just tracing irqs off, preemption off can be selected
to be recorded.

When this is selected, it shares the same files as irqs off timings.
One can either trace preemption off, irqs off, or one or the other off.

By echoing "preemptoff" into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer, recording
of preempt off only is performed. "irqsoff" will only record the time
irqs are disabled, but "preemptirqsoff" will take the total time irqs
or preemption are disabled. Runtime switching of these options is now
supported by simpling echoing in the appropriate trace name into
/debugfs/tracing/current_tracer.

81d68a96a3 ftrace: trace irq disabled critical timings
This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings
(how long interrupts are disabled for).

 "irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers

Note:
  tracing_max_latency
    also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs).
   (default to large number so one must start latency tracing)

  tracing_thresh
    threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off
    is detected to be longer than stated here.
    If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency
    is ignored.

Here's an example of a trace with ftrace_enabled = 0

352ad25aa4 ftrace: tracer for scheduler wakeup latency
This patch adds the tracer that tracks the wakeup latency of the
highest priority waking task.

  "wakeup" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers

Also added to /debugfs/tracing

  tracing_max_latency
     holds the current max latency for the wakeup

  wakeup_thresh
     if set to other than zero, a log will be recorded
     for every wakeup that takes longer than the number
     entered in here (usecs for all counters)
     (deletes previous trace)

Examples:

  (with ftrace_enabled = 0)

1b29b01887 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"

bc0c38d139 ftrace: latency tracer infrastructure
This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch
does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will
be used by later patches.

If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files
to the debugfs:

 The root tracing directory:

  /debugfs/tracing/

This patch also adds the following files:

  available_tracers
     list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are
     available. Looking into this file only shows
     "none" which is used to unregister all tracers.

  current_tracer
     The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up.
     To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that
     are listed in available_tracers:

   example: (used with later patches)

      echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer

     To disable the tracer:

       echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer

  tracing_enabled
     echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing
      (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1)
     echoing "0" turns it off.

  latency_trace
      This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace.

  trace
      This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace.

  iter_ctrl
      Controls the way the output of traces look.
      So far there's two controls:
        echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables
            without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured)
        echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show
            a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by
            humans.
        echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly.
        echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.

16444a8a40 ftrace: add basic support for gcc profiler instrumentation
If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is
set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime
we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace"
attribute.

The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function
happens to be registered.

[ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar,
  so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ]

Update:
  It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function.
  If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the
  function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function
  is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop
  through the functions to call.
