7Description:
8------------
9The goal of this feature is to provide a kernel debug logging API
10where log records can be stored efficiently in memory, where each component
11(e.g. device drivers) can have one separate debug log.
12One purpose of this is to inspect the debug logs after a production system crash
13in order to analyze the reason for the crash.
Matt LaPlantea2ffd272006-10-03 22:49:15 +020014If the system still runs but only a subcomponent which uses dbf fails,
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -070015it is possible to look at the debug logs on a live system via the Linux
16debugfs filesystem.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070017The debug feature may also very useful for kernel and driver development.
18
19Design:
20-------
21Kernel components (e.g. device drivers) can register themselves at the debug
22feature with the function call debug_register(). This function initializes a
23debug log for the caller. For each debug log exists a number of debug areas
24where exactly one is active at one time. Each debug area consists of contiguous
25pages in memory. In the debug areas there are stored debug entries (log records)
26which are written by event- and exception-calls.
27
28An event-call writes the specified debug entry to the active debug
29area and updates the log pointer for the active area. If the end
30of the active debug area is reached, a wrap around is done (ring buffer)
31and the next debug entry will be written at the beginning of the active
32debug area.
33
34An exception-call writes the specified debug entry to the log and
35switches to the next debug area. This is done in order to be sure
36that the records which describe the origin of the exception are not
37overwritten when a wrap around for the current area occurs.
38
Nicolas Kaiser2254f5a2006-12-04 15:40:23 +010039The debug areas themselves are also ordered in form of a ring buffer.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070040When an exception is thrown in the last debug area, the following debug
41entries are then written again in the very first area.
42
43There are three versions for the event- and exception-calls: One for
44logging raw data, one for text and one for numbers.
45
46Each debug entry contains the following data:
47
48- Timestamp
49- Cpu-Number of calling task
50- Level of debug entry (0...6)
51- Return Address to caller
52- Flag, if entry is an exception or not
53
54The debug logs can be inspected in a live system through entries in
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -070055the debugfs-filesystem. Under the toplevel directory "s390dbf" there is
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070056a directory for each registered component, which is named like the
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -070057corresponding component. The debugfs normally should be mounted to
Nicolas Kaiser2254f5a2006-12-04 15:40:23 +010058/sys/kernel/debug therefore the debug feature can be accessed under
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -070059/sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070060
61The content of the directories are files which represent different views
62to the debug log. Each component can decide which views should be
63used through registering them with the function debug_register_view().
64Predefined views for hex/ascii, sprintf and raw binary data are provided.
65It is also possible to define other views. The content of
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -070066a view can be inspected simply by reading the corresponding debugfs file.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070067
Paolo Ornati670e9f32006-10-03 22:57:56 +020068All debug logs have an actual debug level (range from 0 to 6).
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070069The default level is 3. Event and Exception functions have a 'level'
70parameter. Only debug entries with a level that is lower or equal
71than the actual level are written to the log. This means, when
72writing events, high priority log entries should have a low level
73value whereas low priority entries should have a high one.
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -070074The actual debug level can be changed with the help of the debugfs-filesystem
75through writing a number string "x" to the 'level' debugfs file which is
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070076provided for every debug log. Debugging can be switched off completely
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -070077by using "-" on the 'level' debugfs file.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070078
79Example:
80
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -070081> echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070082
83It is also possible to deactivate the debug feature globally for every
84debug log. You can change the behavior using 2 sysctl parameters in
85/proc/sys/s390dbf:
Matt LaPlante992caac2006-10-03 22:52:05 +020086There are currently 2 possible triggers, which stop the debug feature
87globally. The first possibility is to use the "debug_active" sysctl. If
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070088set to 1 the debug feature is running. If "debug_active" is set to 0 the
89debug feature is turned off.
Nicolas Kaiser2254f5a2006-12-04 15:40:23 +010090The second trigger which stops the debug feature is a kernel oops.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070091That prevents the debug feature from overwriting debug information that
92happened before the oops. After an oops you can reactivate the debug feature
93by piping 1 to /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active. Nevertheless, its not
Nicolas Kaiser2254f5a2006-12-04 15:40:23 +010094suggested to use an oopsed kernel in a production environment.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -070095If you want to disallow the deactivation of the debug feature, you can use
96the "debug_stoppable" sysctl. If you set "debug_stoppable" to 0 the debug
97feature cannot be stopped. If the debug feature is already stopped, it
98will stay deactivated.

422
423Flushing debug areas
424--------------------
425Debug areas can be flushed with piping the number of the desired
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -0700426area (0...n) to the debugfs file "flush". When using "-" all debug areas
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700427are flushed.
428
429Examples:
430
4311. Flush debug area 0:
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -0700432> echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/flush
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700433

438------------------------------------
439It is possible the change the size of debug areas through piping
440the number of pages to the debugfs file "pages". The resize request will
441also flush the debug areas.
442
443Example:
444
445Define 4 pages for the debug areas of debug feature "dasd":
446> echo "4" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/pages
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700447
448Stooping the debug feature
449--------------------------
450Example:
451
4521. Check if stopping is allowed
453> cat /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_stoppable
4542. Stop debug feature
455> echo 0 > /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active
456
457lcrash Interface
458----------------
459It is planned that the dump analysis tool lcrash gets an additional command
460's390dbf' to display all the debug logs. With this tool it will be possible
461to investigate the debug logs on a live system and with a memory dump after
462a system crash.
463
464Investigating raw memory
465------------------------
466One last possibility to investigate the debug logs at a live
467system and after a system crash is to look at the raw memory
468under VM or at the Service Element.
469It is possible to find the anker of the debug-logs through
470the 'debug_area_first' symbol in the System map. Then one has
471to follow the correct pointers of the data-structures defined
472in debug.h and find the debug-areas in memory.
473Normally modules which use the debug feature will also have
474a global variable with the pointer to the debug-logs. Following
475this pointer it will also be possible to find the debug logs in
476memory.
477
478For this method it is recommended to use '16 * x + 4' byte (x = 0..n)
479for the length of the data field in debug_register() in
480order to see the debug entries well formatted.
481
482
483Predefined Views
484----------------
485
486There are three predefined views: hex_ascii, raw and sprintf.
487The hex_ascii view shows the data field in hex and ascii representation
488(e.g. '45 43 4b 44 | ECKD').
489The raw view returns a bytestream as the debug areas are stored in memory.
490
491The sprintf view formats the debug entries in the same way as the sprintf
Matt LaPlantefff92892006-10-03 22:47:42 +0200492function would do. The sprintf event/exception functions write to the
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700493debug entry a pointer to the format string (size = sizeof(long))
494and for each vararg a long value. So e.g. for a debug entry with a format
495string plus two varargs one would need to allocate a (3 * sizeof(long))
496byte data area in the debug_register() function.
497
498
499NOTE: If using the sprintf view do NOT use other event/exception functions
500than the sprintf-event and -exception functions.
501
502The format of the hex_ascii and sprintf view is as follows:
503- Number of area
504- Timestamp (formatted as seconds and microseconds since 00:00:00 Coordinated
505 Universal Time (UTC), January 1, 1970)
506- level of debug entry
507- Exception flag (* = Exception)
508- Cpu-Number of calling task
509- Return Address to caller
510- data field
511
512The format of the raw view is:
513- Header as described in debug.h
514- datafield
515
516A typical line of the hex_ascii view will look like the following (first line
517is only for explanation and will not be displayed when 'cating' the view):
518
519area time level exception cpu caller data (hex + ascii)

524Defining views
525--------------
526
527Views are specified with the 'debug_view' structure. There are defined
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -0700528callback functions which are used for reading and writing the debugfs files:
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700529
530struct debug_view {
531 char name[DEBUG_MAX_PROCF_LEN];
532 debug_prolog_proc_t* prolog_proc;
533 debug_header_proc_t* header_proc;
534 debug_format_proc_t* format_proc;
535 debug_input_proc_t* input_proc;
536 void* private_data;
537};
538
539where
540
541typedef int (debug_header_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
542 struct debug_view* view,
543 int area,
544 debug_entry_t* entry,
545 char* out_buf);
546
547typedef int (debug_format_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
548 struct debug_view* view, char* out_buf,
549 const char* in_buf);
550typedef int (debug_prolog_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
551 struct debug_view* view,
552 char* out_buf);
553typedef int (debug_input_proc_t) (debug_info_t* id,
554 struct debug_view* view,
555 struct file* file, const char* user_buf,
556 size_t in_buf_size, loff_t* offset);
557
558
559The "private_data" member can be used as pointer to view specific data.
560It is not used by the debug feature itself.
561
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -0700562The output when reading a debugfs file is structured like this:
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700563
564"prolog_proc output"
565
566"header_proc output 1" "format_proc output 1"
567"header_proc output 2" "format_proc output 2"
568"header_proc output 3" "format_proc output 3"
569...
570
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -0700571When a view is read from the debugfs, the Debug Feature calls the
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700572'prolog_proc' once for writing the prolog.
573Then 'header_proc' and 'format_proc' are called for each
574existing debug entry.
575
576The input_proc can be used to implement functionality when it is written to
Michael Holzheu66a464d2005-06-25 14:55:33 -0700577the view (e.g. like with 'echo "0" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level).
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700578
579For header_proc there can be used the default function
Paolo Ornati670e9f32006-10-03 22:57:56 +0200580debug_dflt_header_fn() which is defined in debug.h.
Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -0700581and which produces the same header output as the predefined views.
582E.g:
58300 00964419409:440761 2 - 00 88023ec
584
585In order to see how to use the callback functions check the implementation
586of the default views!
