Pull tracing tooling updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Allow RTLA to collect data via BPF
The current implementation of rtla uses libtracefs and libtraceevent
to pull sample events generated by the timerlat tracer from the trace
buffer. rtla then processes the sample by updating the histogram and
summary (current, maximum, minimum, and sum values) as well as checks
if tracing has been stopped due to threshold overflow.
In use cases where a large number of samples is being generated, that
is, with measurements running on many CPUs and with a low interval,
this sample processing design causes a significant CPU load on the
rtla side. Furthermore, with >100 CPUs and 100us interval, rtla was
reported as not being able to keep up with the samples and dropping
most of them, leading to it being unusable.
Change the way the timerlat trace processes samples by attaching a
BPF program to the trace event using the BPF skeleton feature of
bpftool. Unlike the current implementation, the BPF implementation
does not check whether tracing is stopped (in BPF mode, tracing is
always off to improve performance), but waits for a write to a BPF
ringbuffer instead. This allows rtla to exit immediately when a
threshold is violated, without waiting for the next iteration of the
while loop.
If the requirements for the BPF implementation are not met, either at
build time or at run time, the current implementation is used as
fallback. Which implementation is being used can be seen when running
rtla timerlat with "-D" option. rtla can be forced to run in non-BPF
mode by setting the RTLA_NO_BPF option to 1, for debugging purposes.
- Fix LD_FLAGS from being dropped in build
- Refactor code to remove duplication of save_trace_to_file
- Always set options and do not rely on default settings
Do not rely on the default kernel settings of the tracers when
starting. They could have been changed by the user which gives
inconsistent results. Always set the options that rtla expects.
- Add creation of ctags and TAGS for traversing code

Pull latency tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add some trace events to osnoise and timerlat sample generation
This adds more information to the osnoise and timerlat tracers as
well as allows BPF programs to be attached to these locations to
extract even more data.
- Fix to DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION() macro
It wasn't used but now will be and it happened to be broken causing
the build to fail.
- Add scheduler specification monitors to runtime verifier (RV)
This is a continuation of Daniel Bristot's work.
RV allows monitors to run and react concurrently. Running the
cumulative model is equivalent to running single components using the
same reactors, with the advantage that it's easier to point out which
specification failed in case of error.
This update introduces nested monitors to RV, in short, the sysfs
monitor folder will contain a monitor named sched, which is nothing
but an empty container for other monitors. Controlling the sched
monitor (enable, disable, set reactors) controls all nested monitors.
The following scheduling monitors are added:
- sco: scheduling context operations
Monitor to ensure sched_set_state happens only in thread context
- tss: task switch while scheduling
Monitor to ensure sched_switch happens only in scheduling context
- snroc: set non runnable on its own context
Monitor to ensure set_state happens only in the respective task's context
- scpd: schedule called with preemption disabled
Monitor to ensure schedule is called with preemption disabled
- snep: schedule does not enable preempt
Monitor to ensure schedule does not enable preempt
- sncid: schedule not called with interrupt disabled
Monitor to ensure schedule is not called with interrupt disabled
* tag 'trace-latency-v6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
tools/rv: Allow rv list to filter for container

Add possibility to supply the container name to rv list:
# rv list sched
mon1
mon2
mon3
This lists only monitors in sched, without indentation.
Supplying -h, any option (string starting with -) or more than 1
argument will still print the usage.
Passing a non-existent container prints nothing and passing no container
continues to print all monitors, showing indentation for nested
monitors, reported after their container.

RV now supports nested monitors, this functionality requires a container
monitor, which has virtually no functionality besides holding other
monitors, and nested monitors, that have a container as parent.
Nested monitors' sysfs folders are physically nested in the container's
folder, and they are listed in the available_monitors file with the
notation container:monitor.
These changes go against the assumption that each line in the
available_monitors file correspond to a folder in the rv directory,
breaking the functionality of the rv tool.
Add support for nested containers in the rv userspace tool, indenting
nested monitors while listed and allowing both the notation with and
without container name, which are equivalent:
# rv list
mon1
mon2
container:
- nested1
- nested2
## notation with container name
# rv mon container:nested1
## notation without container name
# rv mon nested1
Either way, enabling a nested monitor is the same as enabling any other
non-nested monitor.
Selecting the container with rv mon enables all the nested monitors, if
-t is passed, the trace also includes the monitor name next to the
event:
# rv mon nested1 -t
<idle>-0 [004] event state1 x event -> state2
<idle>-0 [004] error event not expected in state2
# rv mon sched -t
<idle>-0 [004] event_nested1 state1 x event -> state2
<idle>-0 [004] error_nested1 event not expected in state2

Add the following tracepoints:
* sched_entry(bool preempt, ip)
Called while entering __schedule
* sched_exit(bool is_switch, ip)
Called while exiting __schedule
* sched_set_state(task, curr_state, state)
Called when a task changes its state (to and from running)
These tracepoints are useful to describe the Linux task model and are
adapted from the patches by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira
(https://bristot.me/linux-task-model/).

rv, unlike rtla and perf, drops LDFLAGS supplied by the user and honors
only EXTRA_LDFLAGS. This is inconsistent with both perf and rtla and
can lead to all kinds of unexpected behavior.
For example, on Fedora and RHEL, it causes rv to be build without
PIE, unlike the aforementioned perf and rtla:
$ file /usr/bin/{rv,rtla,perf}
/usr/bin/rv: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, ...
/usr/bin/rtla: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ...
/usr/bin/perf: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable, ...
Keep both LDFLAGS and EXTRA_LDFLAGS for the build.

Add the ability to control and trace in-kernel monitors. This is
a generic interface, it will check for existing monitors and enable
standard setup, like enabling reactors.

wwnr wakeup while not running per-task testing model. [OFF]
# rv mon wwnr --help

-h/--help: print this menu and the reactor list
-r/--reactor 'reactor': enables the 'reactor'
-s/--self: when tracing (-t), also trace rv command
-t/--trace: trace monitor's event
-v/--verbose: print debug messages

This is the (user-space) runtime verification tool, named rv.
This tool aims to be the interface for in-kernel rv monitors, as
well as the home for monitors in user-space (online asynchronous),
and in *eBPF.
The tool receives a command as the first argument, the current
commands are:
list - list all available monitors
mon - run a given monitor
Each monitor is an independent piece of software inside the
tool and can have their own arguments.
There is no monitor implemented in this patch, it only
adds the basic structure of the tool, based on rtla.
# rv --help
rv version 6.1.0-rc4: help
usage: rv command [-h] [command_options]
-h/--help: print this menu
command: run one of the following command:
list: list all available monitors
mon: run a monitor
[command options]: each command has its own set of options
run rv command -h for further information
*dot2bpf is the next patch set, depends on this, doing cleanups.
