Subject: [PATCH v7 00/10] tracing: trace event triggers (repost)
This is a repost of the v7 patchset - I inadvertently used the wrong
branch in the previous posting, thought the branch URL was correct in
both cases..
Hi,
This is v7 of the trace event triggers patchset. This version mainly
moves some code between patches to fix some bisectibity problems, but
also adds a couple minor cleanups and variable naming changes
mentioned by Masami Hiramatsu.
v7:
- moved find_event_file() extern declartion to patch 06.
- moved helper functions from patch 02 to 03, where they're first
used.
- removed copies of cmd_ops fields from trigger_data and changed to
use cmd_ops diretly instead.
- renamed trigger_mode to trigger_type to avoid confusion with the
FTRACE_EVENT_FL_TRIGGER_MODE_BIT bitflag, and fixed up
usage/documentation, etc.
v6:
- fixed up the conflicts in trace_events.c related to the actual
creation of the per-event 'trigger' files.
v5:
- got rid of the trigger_iterator, a vestige of the first patchset,
which attempted to abstract the ftrace_iterator for triggers, and
cleaned up related code simplified as a result.
- replaced the void *cmd_data everywhere with ftrace_event_file *,
another vestige of the initial patchset.
- updated the patchset to use event_file_data() to grab the i_private
ftrace_event_files where appropriate (this was a separate patch in
the previous patchset, but was merged into the basic framework
patch as suggested by Masami. The only interesting part about this
is that it moved event_file_data() from kernel/trace/trace_events.c
to kernel/trace/trace.h so it can be used in
e.g. trace_events_trigger.c as well.)
- add missing grab of event_mutex in event_trigger_regex_write().
- realized when making the above changes that the trigger filters
weren't being freed when the trigger was freed, so added a
trigger_data_free() to do that. It also ensures that trigger_data
won't be freed until nothing is using it.
- added clear_event_triggers(), which clears all triggers in a trace
array (and soft-disable associated with event_enable/disable
events).
- added a comment to ftrace_syscall_enter/exit to document the use of
rcu_dereference_raw() there.
v4:
- made some changes to the soft-disable for syscall patch, according
to Masami's suggestions. Actually, since there's now an array of
ftrace_files for syscalls that can serve the same purpose, the
enabled_enter/exit_syscalls bit arrays became redundant and were
removed.
- moved all the remaining common functions out of the
traceon/traceoff patch and into the basic trigger framework patch
and added comments to all the common functions.
- extensively commented the event_trigger_ops and event_command ops.
- made the register/unregister_command functions __init. Since that
code was originally inspired by similar ftrace code, a new patch
was added to do the same thing for the register/unregister of the
ftrace commands (patch 10/11).
- fixed the event_trigger_regex_open i_private problem noted by
Masami that's currently being addressed by Oleg Nesterov's fixes
for this. Note that that patchset also affects patch 8/11 (update
filters for multi-buffer, since it touches event filters as well).
Patch 11/11 depends on that patchset and also moves
event_file_data() to trace.h.b
v3:
- added a new patch to the series (patch 8/9 - update event filters
for multibuffer) to bring the event filters up-to-date wrt the
multibuffer changes - without this patch, the same filter is
applied to all buffers regardless of which instance sets it; this
patch allows you to set per-instance filters as you'd expect. The
one exception to this is the 'ftrace subsystem' events, which are
special and retain their current behavior.
- changed the syscall soft enabling to keep a per-trace-array array
of trace_event_files alongside the 'enabled' bitmaps there. This
keeps them in a place where they're only allocated for tracing
and which I think addresses all the previous comments for that
patch.
v2:
- removed all changes to __ftrace_event_enable_disable() (except
for patch 04/11 which clears the soft_disabled bit as discussed)
and created a separate trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() that
calls it after setting/clearing the TRIGGER_MODE_BIT.
- added a trigger_mode enum for future patches that break up the
trigger calls for filtering, but that's also now used as a command
id for registering/unregistering commands.
- removed the enter_file/exit_file members that were added to
syscall_metadata after realizing that they were unnecessary if
ftrace_syscall_enter/exit() were modified to receive a pointer
to the ftrace_file instead of the pointer to the trace_array in
the ftrace_file.
- broke up the trigger invocation into two parts so that triggers
like 'stacktrace' that themselves log into the trace buffer can
defer the actual trigger invocation until after the current
record is closed, which is needed for the filter check that
in turn determines whether the trigger gets invoked.
- other minor cleanup
This patchset implements 'trace event triggers', which are similar to
the function triggers implemented for 'ftrace filter commands' (see
'Filter commands' in Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt), but instead of
being invoked from function calls are invoked by trace events.
Basically the patchset allows 'commands' to be triggered whenever a
given trace event is hit. The set of commands implemented by this
patchset are:
- enable/disable_event - enable or disable another event whenever
the trigger event is hit
- stacktrace - dump a stacktrace to the trace buffer whenever the
trigger event is hit
- snapshot - create a snapshot of the current trace buffer whenever
the trigger event is hit
- traceon/traceoff - turn tracing on or off whenever the trigger
event is hit
Triggers can also be conditionally invoked by associating a standard
trace event filter with them - if the given event passes the filter,
the trigger is invoked, otherwise it's not. (see 'Event filtering' in
Documentation/trace/events.txt for info on event filters).
See the last patch in the series for more complete documention on
event triggers and the available trigger commands, and below for some
simple examples of each of the above commands along with conditional
filtering.
The first four patches are bugfix patches or minor improvements which
can be applied regardless; the rest contain the basic framework and
implementations for each command.
This patchset was based on some ideas from Steve Rostedt, which he
outlined during a couple discussions at ELC and follow-on e-mails.
Code- and interface-wise, it's also partially based on the existing
function triggers implementation and essentially works on top of the
SOFT_DISABLE mode introduced for that. Both Steve and Masami
Hiramatsu took a look at a couple early versions of this patchset, and
offered some very useful suggestions reflected in this patchset -
thanks to them both for the ideas and for taking the time to do some
basic sanity reviews!
Below are a few concrete examples demonstrating each of the available
commands.
The first example attempts to capture all the kmalloc events that
happen as a result of reading a particular file.
The first part of the set of commands below adds a kmalloc
'enable_event' trigger to the sys_enter_read trace event - as a
result, when the sys_enter_read event occurs, kmalloc events are
enabled, resulting in those kmalloc events getting logged into the
trace buffer. The :1 at the end of the kmalloc enable_event specifies
that the enabling of kmalloc events on sys_enter_read will only happen
once - subsequent reads won't trigger the kmalloc logging. The next
part of the example reads a test file, which triggers the
sys_enter_read tracepoint and thus turns on the kmalloc events, and
once done, adds a trigger to sys_exit_read that disables kmalloc
events. The disable_event doesn't have a :1 appended, which means it
happens on every sys_exit_read.
# echo 'enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger; \
cat ~/junk.txt > /dev/null; \
echo 'disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
Just to show a bit of what happens under the covers, if we display the
kmalloc 'enable' file, we see that it's 'soft disabled' (the asterisk
after the enable flag). This means that it's actually enabled but is
in the SOFT_DISABLED state, and is essentially held back from actually
logging anything to the trace buffer, but can be made to log into the
buffer by simply flipping a bit :
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/enable
0*
If we look at the 'enable' file for the triggering sys_enter_read
trace event, we can see that it also has the 'soft disable' flag set.
This is because in the case of the triggering event, we also need to
have the trace event invoked regardless of whether or not its actually
being logged, so we can process the triggers. This functionality is
also built on top of the SOFT_DISABLE flag and is reflected in the
enable state as well:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/enable
0*
To find out which triggers are set for a particular event, we can look
at the 'trigger' file for the event. Here's what the 'trigger' file
for the sys_enter_read event looks like:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:count=0
The 'count=0' field at the end shows that this trigger has no more
triggering ability left - it's essentially fired all its shots - if
it was still active, it would have a non-zero count.
Looking at the sys_exit_read, we see that since we didn't specify a
number at the end, the number of times it can fire is unlimited:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
disable_event:kmem:kmalloc:unlimited
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/enable
0*
Finally, let's look at the results of the above set of commands by
cat'ing the 'trace' file:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
# tracer: nop
#
# entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 85/85 #P:4

As you can see, we captured all the kmallocs from our 'cat' reads, but
also any other kmallocs that happened for other processes between the
time we turned on kmalloc events and turned them off. Future work
should add a way to screen out unwanted events e.g. the abilitiy to
capture the triggering pid in a simple variable and use that variable
in event filters to screen out other pids.
To turn off the events we turned on, simply reinvoke the commands
prefixed by '!':
# echo '!enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
# echo '!disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
You can verify that the events have been turned off by again examining
the 'enable' and 'trigger' files:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/enable
0
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/enable
0
The next example shows how to use the 'stacktrace' command. To have a
stacktrace logged every time a particular event occurs, simply echo
'stacktrace' into the 'trigger' file for that event:
# echo 'stacktrace' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
stacktrace:unlimited
Looking at the 'trace' output, we indeed see stack traces for every
kmalloc:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

For an event like kmalloc, however, we don't typically want to see a
stack trace for every single event, since the amount of data produced
is overwhelming. What we'd typically want to do is only log a stack
trace for particular events of interest. We can accomplish that by
appending an 'event filter' to the trigger. The event filters used to
filter triggers are exactly the same as those implemented for the
existing trace event 'filter' files - see the trace event
documentation for details.
First, let's turn off the existing stacktrace event, and clear the
trace buffer:
# echo '!stacktrace' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
# echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
Now, we can add a new stacktrace trigger which will fire 5 times, but
only if the number of bytes requested by the caller was greater than
or equal to 512:
# echo 'stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 512' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
stacktrace:count=0 if bytes_req >= 512
>From looking at the trigger, we can see the event fired 5 times
(count=0) and looking at the 'trace' file, we can verify that:
# cat trace
# tracer: nop
#

=> SyS_ioctl
=> system_call_fastpath
So the trace output shows exactly 5 stacktraces, as expected.
Just for comparison, let's look at an event that's harder to trigger,
to see a count that isn't 0 in the trigger description:
# echo 'stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
stacktrace:count=5 if bytes_req >= 65536
The next example shows how to use the 'snapshot' command to capture a
snapshot of the trace buffer when an 'interesting' event occurs.
In this case, we'll first start the entire block subsystem tracing:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/enable
Next, we add a 'snapshot' trigger that will take a snapshot of all the
events leading up to the particular event we're interested in, which
is a block queue unplug with a depth > 1. In this case we're
interested in capturing the snapshot just one time, the first time it
occurs:
# echo 'snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
It may take awhile for the condition to occur, but once it does, we
can see the entire sequence of block events leading up to in in the
'snapshot' file:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/snapshot

The final example shows something very similer but using the
'traceoff' command to stop tracing when an 'interesting' event occurs.
The traceon and traceoff commands can be used together to toggle
tracing on and off in creative ways to capture different traces in the
'trace' buffer, but this example just shows essentially the same use
case as the previous example but using 'traceoff' to capture trace
data of interest in the standard 'trace' buffer.
Again, we'll start the entire block subsystem tracing:
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/enable
# echo 'traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
