Hi,
Here is the 3rd version of the series to improve the boot-time tracing to support kretprobe and tracing_on option. Previous version is here:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/159894698993.1478826.2813843560314595660.stgit@dev...
This version adds uprobe %return suffix support ([5/8]) and the testcases ([8/8]), and update kprobe %suffix support([4/8]) and the uprobe event document([6/8]).
The combination of tracing_on and kretprobe allows us to trace events while a specific function call period. For example, the below bootconfig will make a function callgraph in the pci_proc_init() function at boot time.
ftrace { tracing_on = 0 # off at start tracer = function_graph event.kprobes { start_event { probes = "pci_proc_init" actions = "traceon" } end_event { probes = "pci_proc_init%return" actions = "traceoff" } } }
Here is the example output;
# tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 0) | pci_proc_init() { 0) | proc_mkdir() { 0) | proc_mkdir_data() { 0) | __proc_create() { 0) | _raw_read_lock() { 0) 0.179 us | preempt_count_add(); 0) 0.203 us | do_raw_read_lock(); 0) 1.210 us | } 0) | __xlate_proc_name() { 0) 0.449 us | pde_subdir_find(); 0) 0.913 us | } 0) | _raw_read_unlock() { 0) 0.169 us | do_raw_read_unlock(); 0) 0.175 us | preempt_count_sub(); 0) 0.841 us | } 0) | kmem_cache_alloc() { 0) | fs_reclaim_acquire() { 0) 0.154 us | __need_fs_reclaim(); 0) 0.240 us | fs_reclaim_acquire.part.0(); 0) 0.889 us | } 0) | fs_reclaim_release() { 0) 0.174 us | __need_fs_reclaim(); 0) 0.516 us | } 0) 0.157 us | should_failslab(); 0) | rcu_read_lock_sched_held() { 0) | rcu_read_lock_held_common() { 0) 0.156 us | rcu_is_watching(); 0) 0.158 us | rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online(); 0) 0.735 us | } 0) 1.054 us | } 0) 3.407 us | } 0) 0.168 us | __raw_spin_lock_init(); 0) 7.575 us | } 0) | proc_register() { 0) | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave() { 0) 0.187 us | preempt_count_add(); ...
