Subject: [PATCH] tracing/fgraph: support recording function return values
This patch adds a new trace option 'funcgraph-retval' and is disabled by
default. When this option is enabled, fgraph tracer will show the return
value of each function. This is useful to find/analyze a original error
source in a call graph.
One limitation is that the kernel doesn't know the prototype of functions.
So fgraph assumes all functions have a retvalue of type int. You must ignore
the value of *void* function. And if the retvalue looks like an error code
then both hexadecimal and decimal number are displayed.
In this patch, only x86 and ARM platforms are supported.
Here is example showing the error is caused by vmx_create_vcpu() and the
error code is -5 (-EIO).
Here is an example:
with echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-retval
3) | kvm_vm_ioctl() {
3) | mutex_lock() {
3) | _cond_resched() {
3) 0.234 us | rcu_all_qs(); /* ret=0x80000000 */
3) 0.704 us | } /* ret=0x0 */
3) 1.226 us | } /* ret=0x0 */
3) 0.247 us | mutex_unlock(); /* ret=0xffff8880738ed040 */
3) | kvm_arch_vcpu_create() {
3) | vmx_create_vcpu() {
3) + 17.969 us | kmem_cache_alloc(); /* ret=0xffff88813a980040 */
3) + 15.948 us | kmem_cache_alloc(); /* ret=0xffff88813aa99200 */
3) 0.653 us | allocate_vpid.part.88(); /* ret=0x1 */
3) 6.964 us | kvm_vcpu_init(); /* ret=0xfffffffb */
3) 0.323 us | free_vpid.part.89(); /* ret=0x1 */
3) 9.985 us | kmem_cache_free(); /* ret=0x80000000 */
3) 9.491 us | kmem_cache_free(); /* ret=0x80000000 */
3) + 69.858 us | } /* ret=0xfffffffffffffffb/-5 */
3) + 70.631 us | } /* ret=0xfffffffffffffffb/-5 */
3) | mutex_lock() {
3) | _cond_resched() {
3) 0.199 us | rcu_all_qs(); /* ret=0x80000000 */
3) 0.594 us | } /* ret=0x0 */
3) 1.067 us | } /* ret=0x0 */
3) 0.337 us | mutex_unlock(); /* ret=0xffff8880738ed040 */
3) + 92.730 us | } /* ret=0xfffffffffffffffb/-5 */
Checking above fgraph output, we can easily know the original error is
raised from function vmx_create_vcpu().
