Impact: lower overhead tracing
The current event tracer can automatically pick up trace points
that are registered with the TRACE_FORMAT macro. But it required
a printf format string and parsing. Although, this adds the ability
to get guaranteed information like task names and such, it took
a hit in overhead processing. This processing can add about 500-1000
nanoseconds overhead, but in some cases that too is considered
too much and we want to shave off as much from this overhead as
possible.
Tom Zanussi recently posted tracing patches to lkml that are based
on a nice idea about capturing the data via C structs using
STRUCT_ENTER, STRUCT_EXIT type of macros.
I liked that method very much, but did not like the implementation
that required a developer to add data/code in several disjoint
locations.
This patch extends the event_tracer macros to do a similar "raw C"
approach that Tom Zanussi did. But instead of having the developers
needing to tweak a bunch of code all over the place, they can do it
all in one macro - preferably placed near the code that it is
tracing. That makes it much more likely that tracepoints will be
maintained on an ongoing basis by the code they modify.
The new macro TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is created for this approach. (Note,
a developer may still utilize the more low level DECLARE_TRACE macros
if they don't care about getting their traces automatically in the event
tracer.)
They can also use the existing TRACE_FORMAT if they don't need to code
the tracepoint in C, but just want to use the convenience of printf.
So if the developer wants to "hardwire" a tracepoint in the fastest
possible way, and wants to acquire their data via a user space utility
in a raw binary format, or wants to see it in the trace output but not
sacrifice any performance, then they can implement the faster but
more complex TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro.
Here's what usage looks like:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(name,
TPPROTO(proto),
TPARGS(args),
TPFMT(fmt, fmt_args),
TRACE_STUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(type1, item1, assign1)
TRACE_FIELD(type2, item2, assign2)
[...]
),
TPRAWFMT(raw_fmt)
);
Note name, proto, args, and fmt, are all identical to what TRACE_FORMAT
uses.
name: is the unique identifier of the trace point
proto: The proto type that the trace point uses
args: the args in the proto type
fmt: printf format to use with the event printf tracer
fmt_args: the printf argments to match fmt
TRACE_STRUCT starts the ability to create a structure.
Each item in the structure is defined with a TRACE_FIELD
TRACE_FIELD(type, item, assign)
type: the C type of item.
item: the name of the item in the stucture
assign: what to assign the item in the trace point callback
raw_fmt is a way to pretty print the struct. It must match
the order of the items are added in TRACE_STUCT
An example of this would be:
TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_wakeup,
TPPROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p, int success),
TPARGS(rq, p, success),
TPFMT("task %s:%d %s",
p->comm, p->pid, success?"succeeded":"failed"),
TRACE_STRUCT(
TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, pid, p->pid)
TRACE_FIELD(int, success, success)
),
TPRAWFMT("task %d success=%d")
);
This creates us a unique struct of:
struct {
pid_t pid;
int success;
};
And the way the call back would assign these values would be:
entry->pid = p->pid;
entry->success = success;
The nice part about this is that the creation of the assignent is done
via macro magic in the event tracer. Once the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT is
created, the developer will then have a faster method to record
into the ring buffer. They do not need to worry about the tracer itself.
The developer would only need to touch the files in include/trace/*.h
Again, I would like to give special thanks to Tom Zanussi for this
nice idea.

Right now all tracers must manage their own trace buffers. This was
to enforce tracers to be independent in case we finally decide to
allow each tracer to have their own trace buffer.
But now we are adding event tracing that writes to the current tracer's
buffer. This adds an interface to allow events to write to the current
tracer buffer without having to manage its own. Since event tracing
has no "tracer", and is just a way to hook into any other tracer.

If a trace point header defines TRACE_SYSTEM, then it will add the
following trace points into that event system.
If include/trace/irq_event_types.h has:
#define TRACE_SYSTEM irq
at the top and
#undef TRACE_SYSTEM
at the bottom, then a directory "irq" will be created in the
/debug/tracing/events directory. Inside that directory will contain the
two trace points that are defined in include/trace/irq_event_types.h.
Only adding the above to irq and not to sched, we get:
# ls /debug/tracing/events/
irq sched_process_exit sched_signal_send sched_wakeup_new
sched_kthread_stop sched_process_fork sched_switch
sched_kthread_stop_ret sched_process_free sched_wait_task
sched_migrate_task sched_process_wait sched_wakeup
# ls /debug/tracing/events/irq
irq_handler_entry irq_handler_exit
If we add #define TRACE_SYSTEM sched to the trace/sched_event_types.h
then the rest of the trace events will be put in a sched directory
within the events directory.
I've been playing with this idea of the subsystem for a while, but
recently Tom Zanussi posted some patches to lkml that included this
method. Tom's approach was clean and got me to finally put some effort
to clean up the event trace points.
Thanks to Tom Zanussi for demonstrating how nice the subsystem
method is.

Impact: clean up
To further facilitate the ease of adding trace points for developers, this
patch creates include/trace/trace_events.h and
include/trace/trace_event_types.h.
The former file will hold the trace/<type>.h files and the latter will hold
the trace/<type>_event_types.h files.
To create new tracepoints and to have them automatically
appear in the event tracer, a developer makes the trace/<type>.h file
which includes <linux/tracepoint.h> and the trace/<type>_event_types.h file.
The trace/<type>_event_types.h file will hold the TRACE_FORMAT
macros.
Then add the trace/<type>.h file to trace/trace_events.h,
and add the trace/<type>_event_types.h to the trace_event_types.h file.
No need to modify files elsewhere.

Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the
same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be
reentrants.
Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized
the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(),
and the seq helpers.
Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function
tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for
the other to finish its read call.
The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access
to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be
changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private
pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another
function.
The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to
the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside
the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the
tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current
tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch
prediction for that.
Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one
iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case
of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a
silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the
ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the
readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in
case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped
anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what
you think about it.

Impact: split up tracing output per cpu
Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are
available to the user to let him extracting the trace output:
- trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader
but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are
available.
- trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more
informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ...
- trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block
waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe).
The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up
inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations,
sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer
capture.
The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and
select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus.
But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time
one trace buffer per cpu.
So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/.
Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and
one trace file per cpu.
Which means if you have two cpus, you will have:
trace0
trace1
trace_pipe0
trace_pipe1
And of course, reading these files will have the same effect
than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see
the traces from the given cpu.
The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on
their original place.
Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid
racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a
bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu.
Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and
trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or
trace_pipe1.
Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common
trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on
trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already
a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

firedtv: replace EXTRA_CFLAGS by ccflags
The former are deprecated.
The latter can depend on Kconfig variables.

firedtv: concentrate ieee1394 dependencies
Move the entire interface with drivers/ieee1394 to firedtv-1394.c.
Move 1394-independent module initialization code to firedtv-dvb.c.
This prepares interfacing with drivers/firewire.

firedtv: combine header files
avc.h and firedtv-*.h are small and currently not shared with other
drivers, hence concatenate them all into firedtv.h.
Sun Feb 15 15:33:17 CET 2009
firedtv: misc style touch-ups
Standardize on lower-case hexadecimal constants. Adjust whitespace.
Omit unnecessary pointer type casts and an unnecessary list head
initialization. Use dev_printk.

firedtv: avc: header file cleanup
Remove unused constants and declarations.
Move privately used constants into .c files.
Wed Feb 11 21:21:04 CET 2009
firedtv: avc: remove bitfields from FCP frame types
Don't use bitfields in struct types of on-the-wire data.
Also move many privately used constants from avc.h to avc.c
and remove some unused constants.

firedtv: avc: fix offset in avc_tuner_get_ts
The parentheses were wrong. It didn't matter though because this code
only writes a 0 into an area which is already initialized to 0.

firedtv: avc: reduce stack usage, remove two typedefs
It is safe to share a memory buffer for command frame and response frame
because the response data come in after the command frame was last used.
Even less stack would be required if only the actual required frame size
instead of the entire FCP register size was allocated.
Also, rename the defined types AVCCmdFrm and AVCRspFrm to
struct avc_command_frame and struct avc_response_frame.
TODO: Remove the bitfields in these types.

firedtv: rename variables and functions from firesat to firedtv
Signed-off-by: Rambaldi <Rambaldi@xs4all.nl>
Additional changes by Stefan Richter:
Renamed struct firedtv *firedtv to struct firedtv *fdtv and
firedtv_foo_bar() to fdtv_foo_bar() for brevity.

firedtv: rename files from firesat to firedtv
Signed-off-by: Rambaldi <Rambaldi@xs4all.nl>
Additional changes by Stefan Richter:
Name the directory "firewire" instead of "firedtv".
Standardize on "-" instead of "_" in file names, because that's what
drivers/firewire/ and drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/ use too.
Build fix.
