Hardware traces, such as instruction traces, can produce a vast amount of trace data, so being able to reduce tracing to more specific circumstances can be useful. The ability to pause or resume tracing when another event happens, can do that. Add ability for an event to "pause" or "resume" AUX area tracing. Add aux_pause bit to perf_event_attr to indicate that, if the event happens, the associated AUX area tracing should be paused. Ditto aux_resume. Do not allow aux_pause and aux_resume to be set together. Add aux_start_paused bit to perf_event_attr to indicate to an AUX area event that it should start in a "paused" state. Add aux_paused to struct hw_perf_event for AUX area events to keep track of the "paused" state. aux_paused is initialized to aux_start_paused. Add PERF_EF_PAUSE and PERF_EF_RESUME modes for ->stop() and ->start() callbacks. Call as needed, during __perf_event_output(). Add aux_in_pause_resume to struct perf_buffer to prevent races with the NMI handler. Pause/resume in NMI context will miss out if it coincides with another pause/resume. To use aux_pause or aux_resume, an event must be in a group with the AUX area event as the group leader. Example (requires Intel PT and tools patches also): $ perf record --kcore -e intel_pt/aux-action=start-paused/k,syscalls:sys_enter_newuname/aux-action=resume/,syscalls:sys_exit_newuname/aux-action=pause/ uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.043 MB perf.data ] $ perf script --call-trace uname 30805 [000] 24001.058782799: name: 0x7ffc9c1865b0 uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784424: psb offs: 0 uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784424: cbr: 39 freq: 3904 MHz (139%) uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784629: ([kernel.kallsyms]) debug_smp_processor_id uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784629: ([kernel.kallsyms]) __x64_sys_newuname uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784629: ([kernel.kallsyms]) down_read uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784629: ([kernel.kallsyms]) __cond_resched uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784629: ([kernel.kallsyms]) preempt_count_add uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784629: ([kernel.kallsyms]) in_lock_functions uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784629: ([kernel.kallsyms]) preempt_count_sub uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784629: ([kernel.kallsyms]) up_read uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784629: ([kernel.kallsyms]) preempt_count_add uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784838: ([kernel.kallsyms]) in_lock_functions uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784838: ([kernel.kallsyms]) preempt_count_sub uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784838: ([kernel.kallsyms]) _copy_to_user uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784838: ([kernel.kallsyms]) syscall_exit_to_user_mode uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784838: ([kernel.kallsyms]) syscall_exit_work uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784838: ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_syscall_exit uname 30805 [000] 24001.058784838: ([kernel.kallsyms]) debug_smp_processor_id uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_trace_buf_alloc uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_swevent_get_recursion_context uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) debug_smp_processor_id uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) debug_smp_processor_id uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_tp_event uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_trace_buf_update uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) tracing_gen_ctx_irq_test uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_swevent_event uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) __perf_event_account_interrupt uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) __this_cpu_preempt_check uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_event_output_forward uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) perf_event_aux_pause uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) ring_buffer_get uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) __rcu_read_lock uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785046: ([kernel.kallsyms]) __rcu_read_unlock uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785254: ([kernel.kallsyms]) pt_event_stop uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785254: ([kernel.kallsyms]) debug_smp_processor_id uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785254: ([kernel.kallsyms]) debug_smp_processor_id uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785254: ([kernel.kallsyms]) native_write_msr uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785463: ([kernel.kallsyms]) native_write_msr uname 30805 [000] 24001.058785639: 0x0 Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20241022155920.17511-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com |
