In the jump label enabled case, calling static_key_enabled() results in a function call. The function returns the results of a compare, so it really doesn't need the overhead of a full function call. Let's make it 'static inline' for both the jump label enabled and disabled cases. Signed-off-by:

static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

Added a minimal exec tracepoint. Exec is an important major event in the life of a task, like fork(), clone() or exit(), all of which we already trace. [ We also do scheduling re-balancing during exec() - so it's useful from a scheduler instrumentation POV as well. ] If you want to watch a task start up, when it gets exec'ed is a good place to start. With the addition of this tracepoint, exec's can be monitored and better picture of general system activity can be obtained. This tracepoint will also enable better process life tracking, allowing you to answer questions like "what process keeps starting up binary X?". This tracepoint can also be useful in ftrace filtering and trigger conditions: i.e. starting or stopping filtering when exec is called. Signed-off-by:

The following commit: b52956c9 perf tools: Allow multiple threads or processes in record, stat, top introduced a bug in the thread_map code which caused perf record -a to not setup system-wide monitoring properly. $ taskset -c 1 noploop 1000 & $ perf record -a -C 1 sleep 10 $ perf report -D | tail -20 cycles stats: TOTAL events: 4413 MMAP events: 4025 COMM events: 340 SAMPLE events: 48 Here I was expecting about 10,000 samples and not 48. In system-wide mode, the PID passed to perf_event_open() must be -1 and it was 0. That caused the kernel to setup a per-process event on PID:0. Consequently, the number of samples captured does not correspond to the requested measurement. The following one-liner fixes the problem for me with or without -C. I would also suggest to change the malloc() to something that matches the struct definition. thread_map->map[] is declared as int map[] and not pid_t map[]. If map[] can only contain pids, then change the struct definition. Acked-by:

Adding support to filter function trace event via perf interface. It is now possible to use filter interface in the perf tool like: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter="(ip == mm_*)" ls The filter syntax is restricted to the the 'ip' field only, and following operators are accepted '==' '!=' '||', ending up with the filter strings like: ip == f1[, ]f2 ... || ip != f3[, ]f4 ... with comma ',' or space ' ' as a function separator. If the space ' ' is used as a separator, the right side of the assignment needs to be enclosed in double quotes '"', e.g.: perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == do_execve,sys_*,ext*)' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve,sys_*,ext*")' ls perf record -e ftrace:function --filter '(ip == "do_execve sys_* ext*")' ls The '==' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_filter file. The '!=' operator adds trace filter with same effect as would be added via set_ftrace_notrace file. The right side of the '!=', '==' operators is list of functions or regexp. to be added to filter separated by space. The '||' operator is used for connecting multiple filter definitions together. It is possible to have more than one '==' and '!=' operators within one filter string. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1329317514-8131-8-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by:

Adding perf registration support for the ftrace function event, so it is now possible to register it via perf interface. The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered in open/close actions. To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers). This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running. Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops. It is now possible to use function trace within perf commands like: perf record -e ftrace:function ls perf stat -e ftrace:function ls Allowed only for root.

Adding a way to temporarily enable/disable ftrace_ops. The change follows the same way as 'global' ftrace_ops are done. Introducing 2 global ftrace_ops - control_ops and ftrace_control_list which take over all ftrace_ops registered with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL flag. In addition new per cpu flag called 'disabled' is also added to ftrace_ops to provide the control information for each cpu. When ftrace_ops with FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL is registered, it is set as disabled for all cpus. The ftrace_control_list contains all the registered 'control' ftrace_ops. The control_ops provides function which iterates ftrace_control_list and does the check for 'disabled' flag on current cpu. Adding 3 inline functions: ftrace_function_local_disable/ftrace_function_local_enable - enable/disable the ftrace_ops on current cpu ftrace_function_local_disabled - get disabled ftrace_ops::disabled value for current cpu Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1329317514-8131-2-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Acked-by:

If more than one __print_*() function is used in a tracepoint (__print_flags(), __print_symbols(), etc), then the temp seq buffer will not be zero on entry. Using the temp seq buffer's length to know if data has been printed or not in the current function is incorrect and may produce incorrect results. Currently, no in-tree tracepoint causes this bug, but new ones may be created. Cc: Andrew Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Signed-off-by:

If __print_flags() is used after another __print_*() function, the temp seq_file buffer will not be empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed even though there's just one field. We get something like: |S instead of just: S This is because the length of the temp seq buffer is used to determine if the delimiter is printed or not. But this algorithm fails when the seq buffer is not empty on entry, and the delimiter will be printed because it thinks that a previous field was already printed.
