From 77271ce4b2c0df0a76ad1cbb6a95b07e1f88c1ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2011 09:34:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Add irq, preempt-count and need resched info to default trace output People keep asking how to get the preempt count, irq, and need resched info and we keep telling them to enable the latency format. Some developers think that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks it is useless. The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is seconds from the start of boot up.

Although some of the header is useful, and we can add that later to the default format as well. What is really useful with the latency format is the irqs-off, need-resched hard/softirq context and the preempt count. This commit adds the option irq-info which is on by default that adds this information: # tracer: nop # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | -0 [000] d..2 49.309305: cpuidle_get_driver <-cpuidle_idle_call -0 [000] d..2 49.309307: mwait_idle <-cpu_idle -0 [000] d..2 49.309309: need_resched <-mwait_idle -0 [000] d..2 49.309310: test_ti_thread_flag <-need_resched -0 [000] d..2 49.309312: trace_power_start.constprop.13 <-mwait_idle -0 [000] d..2 49.309313: trace_cpu_idle <-mwait_idle -0 [000] d..2 49.309315: need_resched <-mwait_idle If a user wants the old format, they can disable the 'irq-info' option: # tracer: nop # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | -0 [000] 49.309305: cpuidle_get_driver <-cpuidle_idle_call -0 [000] 49.309307: mwait_idle <-cpu_idle -0 [000] 49.309309: need_resched <-mwait_idle -0 [000] 49.309310: test_ti_thread_flag <-need_resched -0 [000] 49.309312: trace_power_start.constprop.13 <-mwait_idle -0 [000] 49.309313: trace_cpu_idle <-mwait_idle -0 [000] 49.309315: need_resched <-mwait_idle Requested-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt --- kernel/trace/trace.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++---- kernel/trace/trace.h | 1 + kernel/trace/trace_output.c | 16 ++++++++++++++-- 3 files changed, 35 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace.c b/kernel/trace/trace.c index 9e158cc84ce..fa5cee63996 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace.c @@ -338,7 +338,8 @@ static DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(trace_wait); /* trace_flags holds trace_options default values */ unsigned long trace_flags = TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT | TRACE_ITER_PRINTK | TRACE_ITER_ANNOTATE | TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO | TRACE_ITER_SLEEP_TIME | - TRACE_ITER_GRAPH_TIME | TRACE_ITER_RECORD_CMD | TRACE_ITER_OVERWRITE; + TRACE_ITER_GRAPH_TIME | TRACE_ITER_RECORD_CMD | TRACE_ITER_OVERWRITE | + TRACE_ITER_IRQ_INFO; static int trace_stop_count; static DEFINE_RAW_SPINLOCK(tracing_start_lock); @@ -426,6 +427,7 @@ static const char *trace_options[] = { "record-cmd", "overwrite", "disable_on_free", + "irq-info", NULL }; @@ -1857,10 +1859,20 @@ static void print_lat_help_header(struct seq_file *m) static void print_func_help_header(struct seq_file *m) { - seq_puts(m, "# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION\n"); + seq_puts(m, "# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION\n"); seq_puts(m, "# | | | | |\n"); } +static void print_func_help_header_irq(struct seq_file *m) +{ + seq_puts(m, "# _-----=> irqs-off\n"); + seq_puts(m, "# / _----=> need-resched\n"); + seq_puts(m, "# | / _---=> hardirq/softirq\n"); + seq_puts(m, "# || / _--=> preempt-depth\n"); + seq_puts(m, "# ||| / delay\n"); + seq_puts(m, "# TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION\n"); + seq_puts(m, "# | | | |||| | |\n"); +} void print_trace_header(struct seq_file *m, struct trace_iterator *iter) @@ -2170,8 +2182,12 @@ void trace_default_header(struct seq_file *m) if (!(trace_flags & TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE)) print_lat_help_header(m); } else { - if (!(trace_flags & TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE)) - print_func_help_header(m); + if (!(trace_flags & TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE)) { + if (trace_flags & TRACE_ITER_IRQ_INFO) + print_func_help_header_irq(m); + else + print_func_help_header(m); + } } } diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace.h b/kernel/trace/trace.h index f8ec2291b52..2c2657462ac 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace.h +++ b/kernel/trace/trace.h @@ -655,6 +655,7 @@ enum trace_iterator_flags { TRACE_ITER_RECORD_CMD = 0x100000, TRACE_ITER_OVERWRITE = 0x200000, TRACE_ITER_STOP_ON_FREE = 0x400000, + TRACE_ITER_IRQ_INFO = 0x800000, }; /* diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_output.c b/kernel/trace/trace_output.c index 51999309a6c..0d6ff355594 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace_output.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_output.c @@ -627,11 +627,23 @@ int trace_print_context(struct trace_iterator *iter) unsigned long usec_rem = do_div(t, USEC_PER_SEC); unsigned long secs = (unsigned long)t; char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; + int ret; trace_find_cmdline(entry->pid, comm); - return trace_seq_printf(s, "%16s-%-5d [%03d] %5lu.%06lu: ", - comm, entry->pid, iter->cpu, secs, usec_rem); + ret = trace_seq_printf(s, "%16s-%-5d [%03d] ", + comm, entry->pid, iter->cpu); + if (!ret) + return 0; + + if (trace_flags & TRACE_ITER_IRQ_INFO) { + ret = trace_print_lat_fmt(s, entry); + if (!ret) + return 0; + } + + return trace_seq_printf(s, " %5lu.%06lu: ", + secs, usec_rem); } int trace_print_lat_context(struct trace_iterator *iter) -- 2.41.0
