This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.
Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..
The new layering is now made as follows:
ptrace kgdb ftrace perf syscall
\ | / /
\ | / /
/
Core breakpoint API /
/
| /
| /
Breakpoints perf events
|
|
Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
(Part of core breakpoint API)
|
|
Hardware debug registers
Reasons of this rewrite:
- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)
Impact:
- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
thread breakpoints references.
Todo (in the order):
- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools
Changes in v2:
- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch
Changes in v3:
- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
to the host.
Changes in v4:
- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
set when the guest used debug registers.
(Waiting for a reliable optimization)
Changes in v5:
- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c
Changes in v6:
- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST

Merge reason: We need to be uptodate with the perf events development
branch because we plan to rewrite the breakpoints API on top of
perf events.
Remove the ftrace_trace_addr() function as only its off-case is
implemented and there are no users of it currently.
But we keep ftrace_graph_addr() off-case, in case someone come to use
the function graph tracer to profit from top-level callers filtering.

The filter code has stolen the regex parsing function from ftrace to
get the regex support.
We have duplicated this code, so factorize it in the filter area and
make it generally available, as the filter code is the most suited to
host this feature.

This patch provides basic support for regular expressions in filters.
It supports the following types of regexp:
- *match_beginning
- *match_middle*
- match_end*
- !don't match
Example:
cd /debug/tracing/events/bkl/lock_kernel
echo 'file == "*reiserfs*"' > filter
echo 1 > enable
gedit-4941 [000] 457.735437: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/namei.c:334 reiserfs_lookup()
sync_supers-227 [001] 461.379985: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/super.c:69 reiserfs_sync_fs()
sync_supers-227 [000] 461.383096: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/journal.c:1069 flush_commit_list()
reiserfs/1-1369 [001] 461.479885: lock_kernel: depth: 0, fs/reiserfs/journal.c:3509 flush_async_commits()
Every string is now handled as a regexp in the filter framework, which
helps to factorize the code for handling both simple strings and
regexp comparisons.
(The regexp parsing code has been wildly cherry picked from ftrace.c
written by Steve.)

This patch converts the existing power tracer into an event tracer,
so that power events (C states and frequency changes) can be
tracked via "perf".
This also removes the perl script that was used to demo the tracer;
its functionality is being replaced entirely with timechart.

This patch changes the way the format files in
debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format
are created. It uses the new trace_entries.h file to automate the
creation of the format files to ensure that they are always in sync
with the actual structures. This is the same methodology used to
create the format files for the TRACE_EVENT macro.
This also updates the filter creation that was built on the creation
of the format files.

Some of the internal ftrace structures use structures within. The
output of a field saying it is just a structure is useless for a format
file. A binary reader of the ring buffer needs to know more about
how the fields are broken up.
This patch adds to the ftrace structure macros new fields to
describe the structures inside a structure.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The entries used by ftrace internal code (plugins) currently have their
formats manually exported to userspace. That is, the format files in
debugfs/tracing/events/ftrace/*/format are currently created by hand.
This is a maintenance nightmare, and can easily become out of sync
with what is actually shown.
This patch uses the methodology of the TRACE_EVENT macros to build
the structures so that their formats can be automated and this
will keep the structures in sync with what users can see.
This patch only changes the way the structures are created. Further
patches will build off of this to automate the format files.

The state of the function pair tracing_stop()/tracing_start() is
correctly considered when tracer data are updated. However, the global
and externally accessible variable tracing_max_latency is always updated
- even when tracing is stopped.
The update should only occur, if tracing was not stopped.

The userstack trace required the recording of the tgid entry.
Unfortunately, it was added to the generic entry where it wasted
4 bytes of every entry and was only used by one entry.
This patch moves it out of the generic field and moves it into the
only user (userstack_entry).
