[PATCH 00/11] tracing: trace event triggers

From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Thu Jun 20 2013 - 14:31:47 EST


Hi,

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
#

=> __kmalloc
=> i915_gem_execbuffer2
=> drm_ioctl
=> do_vfs_ioctl
=> 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
