Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Remove eventfs_file descriptor
This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
create its files dynamically.
In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file
inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories
were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by
a eventfs_file.
In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc
files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs
directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback.
When an event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of
evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks
to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so
that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback
then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create
this file.
This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
instances down by 2 megs each!
- User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a
single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even
if no process is attached to them
- Clean up of seq_buf
There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and
friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf
to be able to do this
- Expand instance ring buffers individually
Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance
- Other minor clean ups and fixes

This isolate_mode_t flag is effectively unused since 89f6c88a6a ("mm:
__isolate_lru_page_prepare() in isolate_migratepages_block()") as
sc->may_unmap is now checked directly (and only node_reclaim has a mode
that sets it to 0). The last remaining place is mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
tracepoint for the isolate_mode parameter. That one was mainly used to
indicate the active/inactive mode, which the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl
script consumed, but that got silently broken. After fixing the script by
the previous patch, it does not need the isolate_mode anymore. So just
remove the parameter and with that the whole ISOLATE_UNMAPPED flag.

The script has fallen behind tracepoint changes for a while, fix it up.
Most changes are mechanical (renames, removal of tracepoint parameters
that are not used by the script). More notable change involves
mm_vmscan_lru_isolate which is relying on the isolate_mode to determine if
the inactive list is being scanned. However the parameter currently only
indicates ISOLATE_UNMAPPED. We can use the lru parameter instead to
determine which list is scanned, and stop checking isolate_mode.

Users need to know how to make events persist now that we allow for
that. We also now allow the dynamic_events file to create events by
utilizing the persist flag during event register.
Add back in to documentation how /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events can
be used to create persistent user_events. Add a section under registering
for the currently supported flags (USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST) and the
required permissions. Add a note under deleting that deleting a
persistent event also requires sufficient permission.

"User visible changes:
- Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:
# echo 'cpumask & CPUS{17-42}' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ipi_send_cpumask/filter
- Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer
size via buffer_size_kb.
Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual size
rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.
Major changes:
- Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and
dentries of tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of
events, and each event has several inodes and dentries that
currently exist even when tracing is never used, they take up
precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate the inodes and
dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There is now
metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will
create the inodes and dentries when they are used.
Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data,
but will wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's
a little more complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code
works properly before adding more complexity, making it easier to
revert if need be.
Minor changes:
- Optimization to user event list traversal
- Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the
intermediate permission removes all access to the files so it is
not a security concern, but just a clean up)

- Also add the option: funcgraph-retval-hex where if it is not set, and

lat tracer traces. The application can also read this file to find
out how it's being interrupted.

the addresses of the functions like kallsyms, except that it gives
the address of where the fentry/mcount jump/nop is. This is used by

Going a step further, we propose a way to use any user-space
workload as the task waiting for the timerlat timer. This is done
via a per-CPU file named osnoise/cpu$id/timerlat_fd file.
The tracef_fd allows a task to open at a time. When a task reads
the file, the timerlat timer is armed for future osnoise/timerlat_period_us
time. When the timer fires, it prints the IRQ latency and
wakes up the user-space thread waiting in the timerlat_fd.
The thread then starts to run, executes the timerlat measurement, prints
the thread scheduling latency and returns to user-space.
When the thread rereads the timerlat_fd, the tracer will print the
user-ret(urn) latency, which is an additional metric.
This additional metric is also traced by the tracer and can be used, for
example of measuring the context switch overhead from kernel-to-user and
user-to-kernel, or the response time for an arbitrary execution in
user-space.
The tracer supports one thread per CPU, the thread must be pinned to
the CPU, and it cannot migrate while holding the timerlat_fd. The reason
is that the tracer is per CPU (nothing prohibits the tracer from
allowing migrations in the future). The tracer monitors the migration
of the thread and disables the tracer if detected.
The timerlat_fd is only available for opening/reading when timerlat
tracer is enabled, and NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set.
The simplest way to activate this feature from user-space is:
-------------------------------- %< -----------------------------------
int main(void)
{
char buffer[1024];
int timerlat_fd;
int retval;
long cpu = 0; /* place in CPU 0 */
cpu_set_t set;
CPU_ZERO(&set);
CPU_SET(cpu, &set);
if (sched_setaffinity(gettid(), sizeof(set), &set) == -1)
return 1;
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer),
"/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu%ld/timerlat_fd",
cpu);
timerlat_fd = open(buffer, O_RDONLY);
if (timerlat_fd < 0) {
printf("error opening %s: %s\n", buffer, strerror(errno));
exit(1);
}
for (;;) {
retval = read(timerlat_fd, buffer, 1024);
if (retval < 0)
break;
}
close(timerlat_fd);
exit(0);
}
-------------------------------- >% -----------------------------------
When disabling timerlat, if there is a workload holding the timerlat_fd,
the SIGKILL will be sent to the thread.

Note displayed address is the patch-site address and can differ from
/proc/kallsyms address.
It's useful to have address avilable for traceable symbols, so we don't
need to allways cross check kallsyms with available_filter_functions
(or the other way around) and have all the data in single file.
For backwards compatibility reasons we can't change the existing
available_filter_functions file output, but we need to add new file.
The problem is that we need to do 2 passes:
- through available_filter_functions and find out if the function is traceable
- through /proc/kallsyms to get the address for traceable function
Having available_filter_functions symbols together with addresses allow
us to skip the kallsyms step and we are ok with the address in
available_filter_functions_addr not being the function entry, because
kprobe_multi uses fprobe and that handles both entry and patch-site
address properly.
We have 2 interfaces how to create kprobe_multi link:
a) passing symbols to kernel
1) user gathers symbols and need to ensure that they are
trace-able -> pass through available_filter_functions file
2) kernel takes those symbols and translates them to addresses
through kallsyms api
3) addresses are passed to fprobe/ftrace through:
register_fprobe_ips
-> ftrace_set_filter_ips
b) passing addresses to kernel
1) user gathers symbols and needs to ensure that they are
trace-able -> pass through available_filter_functions file
2) user takes those symbols and translates them to addresses
through /proc/kallsyms
3) addresses are passed to the kernel and kernel calls:
register_fprobe_ips
-> ftrace_set_filter_ips
The new available_filter_functions_addrs file helps us with option b),
because we can make 'b 1' and 'b 2' in one step - while filtering traceable
functions, we get the address directly.

coresight: Updates for v6.5
CoreSight and hwtracing subsystem updates for v6.5 includes:
- Fixes to the CTI module reference leaks. This involves,
redesign of how the helper devices are tracked and CTI
devices have been converted to helper devices.
- Fix removal of the trctraceidr file from sysfs for ETMs.
- Match all ETMv4 instances based on the ETMv4 architected
registers and the CoreSight Component ID (CID), than having
to add individual PIDs for CPUs.
- Add support for Dummy CoreSight source and sink drivers.
- Add James Clark as Reviewer for the CoreSight kernel drivers
- Fixes to HiSilicon PCIe Tune and Trace Device driver

The PTT can only filter the traced TLP headers by the Root Ports or the
Requester ID of the Endpoint, which are located on the same PCIe core of
the PTT device. The filter value used is derived from the BDF number of
the supported Root Port or the Endpoint. It's not friendly enough for the
users since it requires the user to be familiar enough with the platform
and calculate the filter value manually.
This patch export the available filters through sysfs. Each available
filters is presented as an individual file with the name of the BDF
number of the related PCIe device. The files are created under
$(PTT PMU dir)/available_root_port_filters and
$(PTT PMU dir)/available_requester_filters respectively. The filter
value can be known by reading the related file.
Then the users can easily know the available filters for trace and get
the filter values without calculating.

The PCIe devices supported by the PTT trace can be removed/rescanned by
hotplug or through sysfs. Add support for dynamically updating the
available filter list by registering a PCI bus notifier block. Then user
can always get latest information about available tracing filters and
driver can block the invalid filters of which related devices no longer
exist in the system.
