tracing: Support to dump instance traces by ftrace_dump_on_oops Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for other purposes. This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific or multiple trace instances: - ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on all CPUs - ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops - ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the tracing instance matching <instance_name> - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu], <instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

tracing: Fix snapshot counter going between two tracers that use it Running the ftrace selftests caused the ring buffer mapping test to fail. Investigating, I found that the snapshot counter would be incremented every time a tracer that uses the snapshot is enabled even if the snapshot was used by the previous tracer. That is: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo wakeup_rt > current_tracer # echo wakeup_dl > current_tracer # echo nop > current_tracer would leave the snapshot counter at 1 and not zero. That's because the enabling of wakeup_dl would increment the counter again but the setting the tracer to nop would only decrement it once. Do not arm the snapshot for a tracer if the previous tracer already had it armed.

tracing: Add snapshot refcount When a ring-buffer is memory mapped by user-space, no trace or ring-buffer swap is possible. This means the snapshot feature is mutually exclusive with the memory mapping. Having a refcount on snapshot users will help to know if a mapping is possible or not. Instead of relying on the global trace_types_lock, a new spinlock is introduced to serialize accesses to trace_array->snapshot. This intends to allow access to that variable in a context where the mmap lock is already held.

tracing: Move saved_cmdline code into trace_sched_switch.c The code that handles saved_cmdlines is split between the trace.c file and the trace_sched_switch.c. There's some history to this. The trace_sched_switch.c was originally created to handle the sched_switch tracer that was deprecated due to sched_switch trace event making it obsolete. But that file did not get deleted as it had some code to help with saved_cmdlines. But trace.c has grown tremendously since then. Just move all the saved_cmdlines code into trace_sched_switch.c as that's the only reason that file still exists, and trace.c has gotten too big. No functional changes.

tracing: Have saved_cmdlines arrays all in one allocation The saved_cmdlines have three arrays for mapping PIDs to COMMs: - map_pid_to_cmdline[] - map_cmdline_to_pid[] - saved_cmdlines The map_pid_to_cmdline[] is PID_MAX_DEFAULT in size and holds the index into the other arrays. The map_cmdline_to_pid[] is a mapping back to the full pid as it can be larger than PID_MAX_DEFAULT. And the saved_cmdlines[] just holds the COMMs associated to the pids. Currently the map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[] are allocated together (in reality the saved_cmdlines is just in the memory of the rounding of the allocation of the structure as it is always allocated in powers of two). The map_cmdline_to_pid[] array is allocated separately. Since the rounding to a power of two is rather large (it allows for 8000 elements in saved_cmdlines), also include the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array. (This drops it to 6000 by default, which is still plenty for most use cases). This saves even more memory as the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array doesn't need to be allocated.

tracing/ring-buffer: Fix wait_on_pipe() race When the trace_pipe_raw file is closed, there should be no new readers on the file descriptor. This is mostly handled with the waking and wait_index fields of the iterator. But there's still a slight race. CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- wait_index++; index = wait_index; ring_buffer_wake_waiters(); wait_on_pipe() ring_buffer_wait(); The ring_buffer_wait() will miss the wakeup from CPU 1. The problem is that the ring_buffer_wait() needs the logic of: prepare_to_wait(); if (!condition) schedule(); Where the missing condition check is the iter->wait_index update. Have the ring_buffer_wait() take a conditional callback function and a data parameter that can be used within the wait_event_interruptible() of the ring_buffer_wait() function. In wait_on_pipe(), pass a condition function that will check if the wait_index has been updated, if it has, it will return true to break out of the wait_event_interruptible() loop. Create a new field "closed" in the trace_iterator and set it in the .flush() callback before calling ring_buffer_wake_waiters(). This will keep any new readers from waiting on a closed file descriptor. Have the wait_on_pipe() condition callback also check the closed field. Change the wait_index field of the trace_iterator to atomic_t. There's no reason it needs to be 'long' and making it atomic and using atomic_read_acquire() and atomic_fetch_inc_release() will provide the necessary memory barriers. Add a "woken" flag to tracing_buffers_splice_read() to exit the loop after one more try to fetch data. That is, if it waited for data and something woke it up, it should try to collect any new data and then exit back to user space.

tracing/probes: Support $argN in return probe (kprobe and fprobe) Support accessing $argN in the return probe events. This will help users to record entry data in function return (exit) event for simplfing the function entry/exit information in one event, and record the result values (e.g. allocated object/initialized object) at function exit. For example, if we have a function `int init_foo(struct foo *obj, int param)` sometimes we want to check how `obj` is initialized. In such case, we can define a new return event like below; # echo 'r init_foo retval=$retval param=$arg2 field1=+0($arg1)' >> kprobe_events Thus it records the function parameter `param` and its result `obj->field1` (the dereference will be done in the function exit timing) value at once. This also support fprobe, BTF args and'$arg*'. So if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled, we can trace both function parameters and the return value by following command. # echo 'f target_function%return $arg* $retval' >> dynamic_events Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/170952365552.229804.224112990211602895.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file descriptor are finished. If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(), and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and that will not get called until the .read() is finished. The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue. When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another thread closed its descriptor. This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the readers.

tracing: Inform kmemleak of saved_cmdlines allocation The allocation of the struct saved_cmdlines_buffer structure changed from: s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL); s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL); to: orig_size = sizeof(*s) + val * TASK_COMM_LEN; order = get_order(orig_size); size = 1 << (order + PAGE_SHIFT); page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order); if (!page) return NULL; s = page_address(page); memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s)); s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL); Where that s->saved_cmdlines allocation looks to be a dangling allocation to kmemleak.

tracing: Fix wasted memory in saved_cmdlines logic While looking at improving the saved_cmdlines cache I found a huge amount of wasted memory that should be used for the cmdlines. The tracing data saves pids during the trace. At sched switch, if a trace occurred, it will save the comm of the task that did the trace. This is saved in a "cache" that maps pids to comms and exposed to user space via the /sys/kernel/tracing/saved_cmdlines file. Currently it only caches by default 128 comms. The structure that uses this creates an array to store the pids using PID_MAX_DEFAULT (which is usually set to 32768). This causes the structure to be of the size of 131104 bytes on 64 bit machines. In hex: 131104 = 0x20020, and since the kernel allocates generic memory in powers of two, the kernel would allocate 0x40000 or 262144 bytes to store this structure. That leaves 131040 bytes of wasted space. Worse, the structure points to an allocated array to store the comm names, which is 16 bytes times the amount of names to save (currently 128), which is 2048 bytes. Instead of allocating a separate array, make the structure end with a variable length string and use the extra space for that. This is similar to a recommendation that Linus had made about eventfs_inode names: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240130190355.11486-5-torvalds@linux-foundation.org/ Instead of allocating a separate string array to hold the saved comms, have the structure end with: char saved_cmdlines[]; and round up to the next power of two over sizeof(struct saved_cmdline_buffers) + num_cmdlines * TASK_COMM_LEN It will use this extra space for the saved_cmdline portion. Now, instead of saving only 128 comms by default, by using this wasted space at the end of the structure it can save over 8000 comms and even saves space by removing the need for allocating the other array.

tracing: Update subbuffer with kilobytes not page order Using page order for deciding what the size of the ring buffer sub buffers are is exposing a bit too much of the implementation. Although the sub buffers are only allocated in orders of pages, allow the user to specify the minimum size of each sub-buffer via kilobytes like they can with the buffer size itself. If the user specifies 3 via: echo 3 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb Then the sub-buffer size will round up to 4kb (on a 4kb page size system). If they specify: echo 6 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb The sub-buffer size will become 8kb. and so on.

ring-buffer: Read and write to ring buffers with custom sub buffer size As the size of the ring sub buffer page can be changed dynamically, the logic that reads and writes to the buffer should be fixed to take that into account. Some internal ring buffer APIs are changed: ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() ring_buffer_free_read_page() ring_buffer_read_page() A new API is introduced: ring_buffer_read_page_data() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20211213094825.61876-6-tz.stoyanov@gmail.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231219185628.875145995@goodmis.org Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com> Cc: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware) <tz.stoyanov@gmail.com> [ Fixed kerneldoc on data_page parameter in ring_buffer_free_read_page() ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: Add interface for configuring trace sub buffer size The trace ring buffer sub page size can be configured, per trace instance. A new ftrace file "buffer_subbuf_order" is added to get and set the size of the ring buffer sub page for current trace instance. The size must be an order of system page size, that's why the new interface works with system page order, instead of absolute page size: 0 means the ring buffer sub page is equal to 1 system page and so forth: 0 - 1 system page 1 - 2 system pages 2 - 4 system pages ... The ring buffer sub page size is limited between 1 and 128 system pages. The default value is 1 system page. New ring buffer APIs are introduced: ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() ring_buffer_subbuf_order_get() ring_buffer_subbuf_size_get() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20211213094825.61876-4-tz.stoyanov@gmail.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231219185628.298324722@goodmis.org Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com> Cc: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware) <tz.stoyanov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: Page size per ring buffer Currently the size of one sub buffer page is global for all buffers and it is hard coded to one system page. In order to introduce configurable ring buffer sub page size, the internal logic should be refactored to work with sub page size per ring buffer.

tracing: Increase size of trace_marker_raw to max ring buffer entry There's no reason to give an arbitrary limit to the size of a raw trace marker. Just let it be as big as the size that is allowed by the ring buffer itself. And there's also no reason to artificially break up the write to TRACE_BUF_SIZE, as that's not even used.

tracing: Have trace_marker break up by lines by size of trace_seq If a trace_marker write is bigger than what trace_seq can hold, then it will print "LINE TOO BIG" message and not what was written. Instead, check if the write is bigger than the trace_seq and break it up by that size. Ideally, we could make the trace_seq dynamic that could hold this. But that's for another time.

tracing: Allow creating instances with specified system events A trace instance may only need to enable specific events. As the eventfs directory of an instance currently creates all events which adds overhead, allow internal instances to be created with just the events in systems that they care about. This currently only deals with systems and not individual events, but this should bring down the overhead of creating instances for specific use cases quite bit. The trace_array_get_by_name() now has another parameter "systems". This parameter is a const string pointer of a comma/space separated list of event systems that should be created by the trace_array. (Note if the trace_array already exists, this parameter is ignored). The list of systems is saved and if a module is loaded, its events will not be added unless the system for those events also match the systems string.

tracing: Fix blocked reader of snapshot buffer If an application blocks on the snapshot or snapshot_raw files, expecting to be woken up when a snapshot occurs, it will not happen. Or it may happen with an unexpected result. That result is that the application will be reading the main buffer instead of the snapshot buffer. That is because when the snapshot occurs, the main and snapshot buffers are swapped. But the reader has a descriptor still pointing to the buffer that it originally connected to. This is fine for the main buffer readers, as they may be blocked waiting for a watermark to be hit, and when a snapshot occurs, the data that the main readers want is now on the snapshot buffer. But for waiters of the snapshot buffer, they are waiting for an event to occur that will trigger the snapshot and they can then consume it quickly to save the snapshot before the next snapshot occurs. But to do this, they need to read the new snapshot buffer, not the old one that is now receiving new data. Also, it does not make sense to have a watermark "buffer_percent" on the snapshot buffer, as the snapshot buffer is static and does not receive new data except all at once.

tracing: Update snapshot buffer on resize if it is allocated The snapshot buffer is to mimic the main buffer so that when a snapshot is needed, the snapshot and main buffer are swapped. When the snapshot buffer is allocated, it is set to the minimal size that the ring buffer may be at and still functional. When it is allocated it becomes the same size as the main ring buffer, and when the main ring buffer changes in size, it should do. Currently, the resize only updates the snapshot buffer if it's used by the current tracer (ie. the preemptirqsoff tracer). But it needs to be updated anytime it is allocated. When changing the size of the main buffer, instead of looking to see if the current tracer is utilizing the snapshot buffer, just check if it is allocated to know if it should be updated or not. Also fix typo in comment just above the code change.

tracing: Fix a possible race when disabling buffered events Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is responsible for freeing pages backing buffered events and this process can run concurrently with trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve(). The following race is currently possible: * Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called on CPU 0. It increments trace_buffered_event_cnt on each CPU and waits via synchronize_rcu() for each user of trace_buffered_event to complete. * After synchronize_rcu() is finished, function trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to trace_buffered_event. All counters trace_buffered_event_cnt are at 1 and all pointers trace_buffered_event are still valid. * At this point, on a different CPU 1, the execution reaches trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve(). The function calls preempt_disable_notrace() and only now enters an RCU read-side critical section. The function proceeds and reads a still valid pointer from trace_buffered_event[CPU1] into the local variable "entry". However, it doesn't yet read trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] which happens later. * Function trace_buffered_event_disable() continues. It frees trace_buffered_event[CPU1] and decrements trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] back to 0. * Function trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() continues. It reads and increments trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] from 0 to 1. This makes it believe that it can use the "entry" that it already obtained but the pointer is now invalid and any access results in a use-after-free. Fix the problem by making a second synchronize_rcu() call after all trace_buffered_event values are set to NULL. This waits on all potential users in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() that still read a previous pointer from trace_buffered_event.

tracing: Fix a warning when allocating buffered events fails Function trace_buffered_event_disable() produces an unexpected warning when the previous call to trace_buffered_event_enable() fails to allocate pages for buffered events. The situation can occur as follows: * The counter trace_buffered_event_ref is at 0. * The soft mode gets enabled for some event and trace_buffered_event_enable() is called. The function increments trace_buffered_event_ref to 1 and starts allocating event pages. * The allocation fails for some page and trace_buffered_event_disable() is called for cleanup. * Function trace_buffered_event_disable() decrements trace_buffered_event_ref back to 0, recognizes that it was the last use of buffered events and frees all allocated pages. * The control goes back to trace_buffered_event_enable() which returns. The caller of trace_buffered_event_enable() has no information that the function actually failed. * Some time later, the soft mode is disabled for the same event. Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called. It warns on "WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)" and returns. Buffered events are just an optimization and can handle failures. Make trace_buffered_event_enable() exit on the first failure and left any cleanup later to when trace_buffered_event_disable() is called.

It happens because the active ring_buffer_event doesn't actually come from the ring_buffer_per_cpu but is allocated from trace_buffered_event. The bug is in function trace_buffered_event_disable() where the following normally happens: * The code invokes disable_trace_buffered_event() via smp_call_function_many() and follows it by synchronize_rcu(). This increments the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event_cnt on each target CPU and grants trace_buffered_event_disable() the exclusive access to the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event. * Maintenance is performed on trace_buffered_event, all per-CPU event buffers get freed. * The code invokes enable_trace_buffered_event() via smp_call_function_many(). This decrements trace_buffered_event_cnt and releases the access to trace_buffered_event. A problem is that smp_call_function_many() runs a given function on all target CPUs except on the current one. The following can then occur: * Task X executing trace_buffered_event_disable() runs on CPU 0. * The control reaches synchronize_rcu() and the task gets rescheduled on another CPU 1. * The RCU synchronization finishes. At this point, trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to all trace_buffered_event variables except trace_buffered_event[CPU0] because trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is never incremented and if the buffer is currently unused, remains set to 0. * A different task Y is scheduled on CPU 0 and hits a trace event. The code in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() sees that trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is set to 0 and decides the use the buffer provided by trace_buffered_event[CPU0]. * Task X continues its execution in trace_buffered_event_disable(). The code incorrectly frees the event buffer pointed by trace_buffered_event[CPU0] and resets the variable to NULL. * Task Y writes event data to the now freed buffer and later detects the created inconsistency. The issue is observable since commit dea499781a11 ("tracing: Fix warning in trace_buffered_event_disable()") which moved the call of trace_buffered_event_disable() in __ftrace_event_enable_disable() earlier, prior to invoking call->class->reg(.. TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER ..). The underlying problem in trace_buffered_event_disable() is however present since the original implementation in commit 0fc1b09ff1ff ("tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering events"). Fix the problem by replacing the two smp_call_function_many() calls with on_each_cpu_mask() which invokes a given callback on all CPUs.

tracing: Disable snapshot buffer when stopping instance tracers It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). When stopping a tracer in an instance would not disable the snapshot buffer. This could have some unintended consequences if the irqsoff tracer is enabled. Consolidate the tracing_start/stop() with tracing_start/stop_tr() so that all instances behave the same. The tracing_start/stop() functions will just call their respective tracing_start/stop_tr() with the global_array passed in.

tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer When the ring buffer is being resized, it can cause side effects to the running tracer. For instance, there's a race with irqsoff tracer that swaps individual per cpu buffers between the main buffer and the snapshot buffer. The resize operation modifies the main buffer and then the snapshot buffer. If a swap happens in between those two operations it will break the tracer. Simply stop the running tracer before resizing the buffers and enable it again when finished.

tracing: Always update snapshot buffer size It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). The update of the ring buffer size would check if the instance was the top level and if so, it would also update the snapshot buffer as it needs to be the same as the main buffer. Now that lower level instances also has a snapshot buffer, they too need to update their snapshot buffer sizes when the main buffer is changed, otherwise the following can be triggered: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 1500 > buffer_size_kb # mkdir instances/foo # echo irqsoff > instances/foo/current_tracer # echo 1000 > instances/foo/buffer_size_kb Produces: WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 856 at kernel/trace/trace.c:1938 update_max_tr_single.part.0+0x27d/0x320 Which is: ret = ring_buffer_swap_cpu(tr->max_buffer.buffer, tr->array_buffer.buffer, cpu); if (ret == -EBUSY) { [..] } WARN_ON_ONCE(ret && ret != -EAGAIN && ret != -EBUSY); <== here That's because ring_buffer_swap_cpu() has: int ret = -EINVAL; [..] /* At least make sure the two buffers are somewhat the same */ if (cpu_buffer_a->nr_pages != cpu_buffer_b->nr_pages) goto out; [..] out: return ret; } Instead, update all instances' snapshot buffer sizes when their main buffer size is updated.

Change directory to the tracefs directory 2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one) 3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event 4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too) 5. Close the bash file descriptor 5 The above causes a crash!

It maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?). Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file" descriptor. But as the tracefs file is still opened by user space, it will not be totally removed until the final dput() is called on it. But this is not true with the event "file" descriptor that is already freed. If the user does a write to or simply closes the file descriptor it will reference the event "file" descriptor that was just freed, causing a use-after-free bug. To solve this, add a ref count to the event "file" descriptor as well as a new flag called "FREED". The "file" will not be freed until the last reference is released. But the FREE flag will be set when the event is removed to prevent any more modifications to that event from happening, even if there's still a reference to the event "file" descriptor.

seq_buf: Introduce DECLARE_SEQ_BUF and seq_buf_str() Solve two ergonomic issues with struct seq_buf; 1) Too much boilerplate is required to initialize: struct seq_buf s; char buf[32]; seq_buf_init(s, buf, sizeof(buf)); Instead, we can build this directly on the stack. Provide DECLARE_SEQ_BUF() macro to do this: DECLARE_SEQ_BUF(s, 32); 2) %NUL termination is fragile and requires 2 steps to get a valid C String (and is a layering violation exposing the "internals" of seq_buf): seq_buf_terminate(s); do_something(s->buffer); Instead, we can just return s->buffer directly after terminating it in the refactored seq_buf_terminate(), now known as seq_buf_str(): do_something(seq_buf_str(s)); Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231027155634.make.260-kees@kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231026194033.it.702-kees@kernel.org/ Cc: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com> Cc: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com> Cc: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev> Cc: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Cc: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Yun Zhou <yun.zhou@windriver.com> Cc: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Cc: Zhen Lei <thunder.leizhen@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Move readpos from seq_buf to trace_seq To make seq_buf more lightweight as a string buf, move the readpos member from seq_buf to its container, trace_seq. That puts the responsibility of maintaining the readpos entirely in the tracing code. If some future users want to package up the readpos with a seq_buf, we can define a new struct then.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode Instead of having a descriptor for every file represented in the eventfs directory, only have the directory itself represented. Change the API to send in a list of entries that represent all the files in the directory (but not other directories). The entry list contains a name and a callback function that will be used to create the files when they are accessed. struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_events_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent, const struct eventfs_entry *entries, int size, void *data); is used for the top level eventfs directory, and returns an eventfs_inode that will be used by: struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct eventfs_inode *parent, const struct eventfs_entry *entries, int size, void *data); where both of the above take an array of struct eventfs_entry entries for every file that is in the directory. The entries are defined by: typedef int (*eventfs_callback)(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data, const struct file_operations **fops); struct eventfs_entry { const char *name; eventfs_callback callback; }; Where the name is the name of the file and the callback gets called when the file is being created. The callback passes in the name (in case the same callback is used for multiple files), a pointer to the mode, data and fops. The data will be pointing to the data that was passed in eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() but may be overridden to point to something else, as it will be used to point to the inode->i_private that is created. The information passed back from the callback is used to create the dentry/inode. If the callback fills the data and the file should be created, it must return a positive number. On zero or negative, the file is ignored. This logic may also be used as a prototype to convert entire pseudo file systems into just-in-time allocation. The "show_events_dentry" file has been updated to show the directories, and any files they have.

tracing: Expand all ring buffers individually The ring buffer of global_trace is set to the minimum size in order to save memory on boot up and then it will be expand when some trace feature enabled. However currently operations under an instance can also cause global_trace ring buffer being expanded, and the expanded memory would be wasted if global_trace then not being used. See following case, we enable 'sched_switch' event in instance 'A', then ring buffer of global_trace is unexpectedly expanded to be 1410KB, also the '(expanded: 1408)' from 'buffer_size_kb' of instance is confusing. # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # mkdir instances/A # cat buffer_size_kb 7 (expanded: 1408) # cat instances/A/buffer_size_kb 1410 (expanded: 1408) # echo sched:sched_switch > instances/A/set_event # cat buffer_size_kb 1410 # cat instances/A/buffer_size_kb 1410 To fix it, we can: - Make 'ring_buffer_expanded' as a member of 'struct trace_array'; - Make 'ring_buffer_expanded' of instance is defaultly true, global_trace is defaultly false; - In order not to expose 'global_trace' outside of file 'kernel/trace/trace.c', introduce trace_set_ring_buffer_expanded() to set 'ring_buffer_expanded' as 'true'; - Pass the expected trace_array to tracing_update_buffers().

tracing: Use the new eventfs descriptor for print trigger The check to create the print event "trigger" was using the obsolete "dir" value of the trace_event_file to determine if it should create the trigger or not. But that value will now be NULL because it uses the event file descriptor. Change it to test the "ef" field of the trace_event_file structure so that the trace_marker "trigger" file appears again.

However, this value may be not actual size of trace ring buffer because of the round up when doing resize in kernel, and the actual size would be more useful.

tracing: Remove unnecessary copying of tr->current_trace The iterator allocated a descriptor to copy the current_trace. This was done with the assumption that the function pointers might change. But this was a false assuption, as it does not change. There's no reason to make a copy of the current_trace and just use the pointer it points to. This removes needing to manage freeing the descriptor. Worse yet, there's locations that the iterator is used but does make a copy and just uses the pointer. This could cause the actual pointer to the trace descriptor to be freed and not the allocated copy. This is more of a clean up than a fix.

tracing: Add back FORTIFY_SOURCE logic to kernel_stack event structure For backward compatibility, older tooling expects to see the kernel_stack event with a "caller" field that is a fixed size array of 8 addresses. The code now supports more than 8 with an added "size" field that states the real number of entries. But the "caller" field still just looks like a fixed size to user space. Since the tracing macros that create the user space format files also creates the structures that those files represent, the kernel_stack event structure had its "caller" field a fixed size of 8, but in reality, when it is allocated on the ring buffer, it can hold more if the stack trace is bigger that 8 functions. The copying of these entries was simply done with a memcpy(): size = nr_entries * sizeof(unsigned long); memcpy(entry->caller, fstack->calls, size); The FORTIFY_SOURCE logic noticed at runtime that when the nr_entries was larger than 8, that the memcpy() was writing more than what the structure stated it can hold and it complained about it. This is because the FORTIFY_SOURCE code is unaware that the amount allocated is actually enough to hold the size. It does not expect that a fixed size field will hold more than the fixed size. This was originally solved by hiding the caller assignment with some pointer arithmetic. ptr = ring_buffer_data(); entry = ptr; ptr += offsetof(typeof(*entry), caller); memcpy(ptr, fstack->calls, size); But it is considered bad form to hide from kernel hardening. Instead, make it work nicely with FORTIFY_SOURCE by adding a new __stack_array() macro that is specific for this one special use case. The macro will take 4 arguments: type, item, len, field (whereas the __array() macro takes just the first three). This macro will act just like the __array() macro when creating the code to deal with the format file that is exposed to user space. But for the kernel, it will turn the caller field into: type item[] __counted_by(field); or for this instance: unsigned long caller[] __counted_by(size); Now the kernel code can expose the assignment of the caller to the FORTIFY_SOURCE and everyone is happy!

tracing: Introduce pipe_cpumask to avoid race on trace_pipes There is race issue when concurrently splice_read main trace_pipe and per_cpu trace_pipes which will result in data read out being different from what actually writen. As suggested by Steven: > I believe we should add a ref count to trace_pipe and the per_cpu > trace_pipes, where if they are opened, nothing else can read it. > > Opening trace_pipe locks all per_cpu ref counts, if any of them are > open, then the trace_pipe open will fail (and releases any ref counts > it had taken). > > Opening a per_cpu trace_pipe will up the ref count for just that > CPU buffer. This will allow multiple tasks to read different per_cpu > trace_pipe files, but will prevent the main trace_pipe file from > being opened. But because we only need to know whether per_cpu trace_pipe is open or not, using a cpumask instead of using ref count may be easier. After this patch, users will find that: - Main trace_pipe can be opened by only one user, and if it is opened, all per_cpu trace_pipes cannot be opened; - Per_cpu trace_pipes can be opened by multiple users, but each per_cpu trace_pipe can only be opened by one user. And if one of them is opened, main trace_pipe cannot be opened.

This issue can be easily reproduced using the following two scripts: /tmp # cat test1.sh //#! /bin/sh for i in `seq 0 100000` do echo 2000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb sleep 0.5 echo 5000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb sleep 0.5 done /tmp # cat test2.sh //#! /bin/sh for i in `seq 0 100000` do echo irqsoff > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer sleep 1 echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer sleep 1 done /tmp # ./test1.sh & /tmp # ./test2.sh & A typical oops log is as follows, sometimes with other different oops logs.

tracing: Stop FORTIFY_SOURCE complaining about stack trace caller The stack_trace event is an event created by the tracing subsystem to store stack traces. It originally just contained a hard coded array of 8 words to hold the stack, and a "size" to know how many entries are there. This is exported to user space as: name: kernel_stack ID: 4 format: field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0; field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0; field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1; field:int size; offset:8; size:4; signed:1; field:unsigned long caller[8]; offset:16; size:64; signed:0; print fmt: "\t=> %ps\n\t=> %ps\n\t=> %ps\n" "\t=> %ps\n\t=> %ps\n\t=> %ps\n" "\t=> %ps\n\t=> %ps\n",i (void *)REC->caller[0], (void *)REC->caller[1], (void *)REC->caller[2], (void *)REC->caller[3], (void *)REC->caller[4], (void *)REC->caller[5], (void *)REC->caller[6], (void *)REC->caller[7] Where the user space tracers could parse the stack. The library was updated for this specific event to only look at the size, and not the array. But some older users still look at the array (note, the older code still checks to make sure the array fits inside the event that it read. That is, if only 4 words were saved, the parser would not read the fifth word because it will see that it was outside of the event size). This event was changed a while ago to be more dynamic, and would save a full stack even if it was greater than 8 words. It does this by simply allocating more ring buffer to hold the extra words. Then it copies in the stack via: memcpy(&entry->caller, fstack->calls, size); As the entry is struct stack_entry, that is created by a macro to both create the structure and export this to user space, it still had the caller field of entry defined as: unsigned long caller[8]. When the stack is greater than 8, the FORTIFY_SOURCE code notices that the amount being copied is greater than the source array and complains about it. It has no idea that the source is pointing to the ring buffer with the required allocation. To hide this from the FORTIFY_SOURCE logic, pointer arithmetic is used: ptr = ring_buffer_event_data(event); entry = ptr; ptr += offsetof(typeof(*entry), caller); memcpy(ptr, fstack->calls, size); Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230612160748.4082850-1-svens@linux.ibm.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20230712105235.5fc441aa@gandalf.local.home Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Reported-by: Sven Schnelle <svens@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Sven Schnelle <svens@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Fix null pointer dereference in tracing_err_log_open() Fix an issue in function 'tracing_err_log_open'. The function doesn't call 'seq_open' if the file is opened only with write permissions, which results in 'file->private_data' being left as null. If we then use 'lseek' on that opened file, 'seq_lseek' dereferences 'file->private_data' in 'mutex_lock(&m->lock)', resulting in a kernel panic. Writing to this node requires root privileges, therefore this bug has very little security impact.

tracing/probes: Support function parameters if BTF is available Support function or tracepoint parameters by name if BTF support is enabled and the event is for function entry (this feature can be used with kprobe- events, fprobe-events and tracepoint probe events.) Note that the BTF variable syntax does not require a prefix. If it starts with an alphabetic character or an underscore ('_') without a prefix like '$' and '%', it is considered as a BTF variable. If you specify only the BTF variable name, the argument name will also be the same name instead of 'arg*'. # echo 'p vfs_read count pos' >> dynamic_events # echo 'f vfs_write count pos' >> dynamic_events # echo 't sched_overutilized_tp rd overutilized' >> dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events p:kprobes/p_vfs_read_0 vfs_read count=count pos=pos f:fprobes/vfs_write__entry vfs_write count=count pos=pos t:tracepoints/sched_overutilized_tp sched_overutilized_tp rd=rd overutilized=overutilized Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/168507474014.913472.16963996883278039183.stgit@mhiramat.roam.corp.google.com/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com> Tested-by: Alan Maguire <alan.maguire@oracle.com>

tracing/probes: Add tracepoint support on fprobe_events Allow fprobe_events to trace raw tracepoints so that user can trace tracepoints which don't have traceevent wrappers. This new event is always available if the fprobe_events is enabled (thus no kconfig), because the fprobe_events depends on the trace-event and traceporint. e.g. # echo 't sched_overutilized_tp' >> dynamic_events # echo 't 9p_client_req' >> dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events t:tracepoints/sched_overutilized_tp sched_overutilized_tp t:tracepoints/_9p_client_req 9p_client_req The event name is based on the tracepoint name, but if it is started with digit character, an underscore '_' will be added. NOTE: to avoid further confusion, this renames TPARG_FL_TPOINT to TPARG_FL_TEVENT because this flag is used for eprobe (trace-event probe). And reuse TPARG_FL_TPOINT for this raw tracepoint probe.

tracing/probes: Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit. Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, it is not available if the architecture only supports CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture. But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events. The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function (symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments so that user can trace the function arguments and return values. The fprobe events syntax is here; f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS] f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS] E.g. # echo 'f vfs_read $arg1' >> dynamic_events # echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval' >> dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1 f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval # echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable # head -n 20 trace | tail # TASK-PID CPU# ||||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | ||||| | | sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386420: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386436: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386451: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386458: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386469: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386476: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.602073: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.602089: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/168507469754.913472.6112857614708350210.stgit@mhiramat.roam.corp.google.com/ Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/202302011530.7vm4O8Ro-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

tracing: Only make selftest conditionals affect the global_trace The tracing_selftest_running and tracing_selftest_disabled variables were to keep trace_printk() and other writes from affecting the tracing selftests, as the tracing selftests would examine the ring buffer to see if it contained what it expected or not. trace_printk() and friends could add to the ring buffer and cause the selftests to fail (and then disable the tracer that was being tested). To keep that from happening, these variables were added and would keep trace_printk() and friends from writing to the ring buffer while the tests were going on. But this was only the top level ring buffer (owned by the global_trace instance). There is no reason to prevent writing into ring buffers of other instances via the trace_array_printk() and friends. For the functions that could be used by other instances, check if the global_trace is the tracer instance that is being written to before deciding to not allow the write.

tracing: Have tracer selftests call cond_resched() before running As there are more and more internal selftests being added to the Linux kernel (KSAN, lockdep, etc) the selftests are taking longer to run when these are enabled. Add a cond_resched() to the calling of do_run_tracer_selftest() to force a schedule if NEED_RESCHED is set, otherwise the soft lockup watchdog may trigger on boot up.

tracing: Move setting of tracing_selftest_running out of register_tracer() The variables tracing_selftest_running and tracing_selftest_disabled are only used for when CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST is enabled. Make them only visible within the selftest code. The setting of those variables are in the register_tracer() call, and set in a location where they do not need to be. Create a wrapper around run_tracer_selftest() called do_run_tracer_selftest() which sets those variables, and have register_tracer() call that instead. Having those variables only set within the CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST scope gets rid of them (and also the ability to remove testing against them) when the startup tests are not enabled (most cases).

tracing: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used, so direct replacement with strlcpy is safe.

tracing: Rename stacktrace field to common_stacktrace The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called "stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that, convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like "common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as "common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace". Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

tracing: Fix ftrace_boot_snapshot command line logic The kernel command line ftrace_boot_snapshot by itself is supposed to trigger a snapshot at the end of boot up of the main top level trace buffer. A ftrace_boot_snapshot=foo will do the same for an instance called foo that was created by trace_instance=foo,... The logic was broken where if ftrace_boot_snapshot was by itself, it would trigger a snapshot for all instances that had tracing enabled, regardless if it asked for a snapshot or not. When a snapshot is requested for a buffer, the buffer's tr->allocated_snapshot is set to true. Use that to know if a trace buffer wants a snapshot at boot up or not. Since the top level buffer is part of the ftrace_trace_arrays list, there's no reason to treat it differently than the other buffers. Just iterate the list if ftrace_boot_snapshot was specified.

tracing: Always use canonical ftrace path The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many comments and Kconfig help messages in the tracing code still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

tracing: Fix poll() and select() do not work on per_cpu trace_pipe and trace_pipe_raw poll() and select() on per_cpu trace_pipe and trace_pipe_raw do not work since kernel 6.1-rc6. This issue is seen after the commit 42fb0a1e84ff525ebe560e2baf9451ab69127e2b ("tracing/ring-buffer: Have polling block on watermark"). This issue is firstly detected and reported, when testing the CXL error events in the rasdaemon and also erified using the test application for poll() and select(). This issue occurs for the per_cpu case, when calling the ring_buffer_poll_wait(), in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c, with the buffer_percent > 0 and then wait until the percentage of pages are available. The default value set for the buffer_percent is 50 in the kernel/trace/trace.c. As a fix, allow userspace application could set buffer_percent as 0 through the buffer_percent_fops, so that the task will wake up as soon as data is added to any of the specific cpu buffer.

tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can output as soon as it can be used Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and "ftrace_dump_on_oops" is set on the kernel command line, all you get will be: [ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6 [ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6 [ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6 This is because the trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered yet. That gets done via an early_initcall(), which may be early, but not early enough. Instead of registering the trace_printk() event (and other ftrace events, which are not trace events) via an early_initcall(), have them registered at the same time that trace_printk() can be used. This way, if there is a crash before early_initcall(), then the trace_printk()s will actually be useful.

On the other hand, 'symstr' type stores the actual "symbol+offset/size" data as a string.

To fix this issue, and do not repeat the similar problem, makes CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER and CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER enables the CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE always. It has there benefits; - Fix the tracing_max_lat_fops bug - Simplify the #ifdefs - CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE code is fully enabled, or not.

More users of this function is needed where the lock is not held. Add a tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function for the one use case that calls it without being held, and also add a lockdep_assert to make sure it is held when called. Then have tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() take the lock internally, such that callers do not need to worry about taking it.

tracing/ring-buffer: Have polling block on watermark Currently the way polling works on the ring buffer is broken. It will return immediately if there's any data in the ring buffer whereas a read will block until the watermark (defined by the tracefs buffer_percent file) is hit. That is, a select() or poll() will return as if there's data available, but then the following read will block. This is broken for the way select()s and poll()s are supposed to work. Have the polling on the ring buffer also block the same way reads and splice does on the ring buffer.

tracing: Do not free snapshot if tracer is on cmdline The ftrace_boot_snapshot and alloc_snapshot cmdline options allocate the snapshot buffer at boot up for use later. The ftrace_boot_snapshot in particular requires the snapshot to be allocated because it will take a snapshot at the end of boot up allowing to see the traces that happened during boot so that it's not lost when user space takes over. When a tracer is registered (started) there's a path that checks if it requires the snapshot buffer or not, and if it does not and it was allocated it will do a synchronization and free the snapshot buffer. This is only required if the previous tracer was using it for "max latency" snapshots, as it needs to make sure all max snapshots are complete before freeing. But this is only needed if the previous tracer was using the snapshot buffer for latency (like irqoff tracer and friends). But it does not make sense to free it, if the previous tracer was not using it, and the snapshot was allocated by the cmdline parameters. This basically takes away the point of allocating it in the first place! Note, the allocated snapshot worked fine for just trace events, but fails when a tracer is enabled on the cmdline. Further investigation, this goes back even further and it does not require a tracer on the cmdline to fail. Simply enable snapshots and then enable a tracer, and it will remove the snapshot.

tracing: Disable interrupt or preemption before acquiring arch_spinlock_t It was found that some tracing functions in kernel/trace/trace.c acquire an arch_spinlock_t with preemption and irqs enabled. An example is the tracing_saved_cmdlines_size_read() function which intermittently causes a "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible" warning when the LTP read_all_proc test is run. That can be problematic in case preemption happens after acquiring the lock. Add the necessary preemption or interrupt disabling code in the appropriate places before acquiring an arch_spinlock_t. The convention here is to disable preemption for trace_cmdline_lock and interupt for max_lock.

rv: Add Runtime Verification (RV) interface RV is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method that complements classical exhaustive verification techniques (such as model checking and theorem proving) with a more practical approach to complex systems. RV works by analyzing the trace of the system's actual execution, comparing it against a formal specification of the system behavior. RV can give precise information on the runtime behavior of the monitored system while enabling the reaction for unexpected events, avoiding, for example, the propagation of a failure on safety-critical systems. The development of this interface roots in the development of the paper: De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot; Cucinotta, Tommaso; De Oliveira, Romulo Silva. Efficient formal verification for the Linux kernel. In: International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods. Springer, Cham, 2019. p. 315-332. And: De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot. Automata-based formal analysis and verification of the real-time Linux kernel. PhD Thesis, 2020. The RV interface resembles the tracing/ interface on purpose. The current path for the RV interface is /sys/kernel/tracing/rv/. It presents these files: "available_monitors" - List the available monitors, one per line. For example: # cat available_monitors wip wwnr "enabled_monitors" - Lists the enabled monitors, one per line; - Writing to it enables a given monitor; - Writing a monitor name with a '!' prefix disables it; - Truncating the file disables all enabled monitors. For example: # cat enabled_monitors # echo wip > enabled_monitors # echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors # cat enabled_monitors wip wwnr # echo '!wip' >> enabled_monitors # cat enabled_monitors wwnr # echo > enabled_monitors # cat enabled_monitors # Note that more than one monitor can be enabled concurrently. "monitoring_on" - It is an on/off general switcher for monitoring. Note that it does not disable enabled monitors or detach events, but stop the per-entity monitors of monitoring the events received from the system. It resembles the "tracing_on" switcher. "monitors/" Each monitor will have its one directory inside "monitors/". There the monitor specific files will be presented. The "monitors/" directory resembles the "events" directory on tracefs. For example: # cd monitors/wip/ # ls desc enable # cat desc wakeup in preemptive per-cpu testing monitor. # cat enable 0 For further information, see the comments in the header of kernel/trace/rv/rv.c from this patch.

tracing: Auto generate event name when creating a group of events Currently when creating a specific group of trace events, take kprobe event as example, the user must use the following format: p:GRP/EVENT [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS], which means user must enter EVENT name, one example is: echo 'p:usb_gadget/config_usb_cfg_link config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events It is not simple if there are too many entries because the event name is the same as symbol name. This change allows user to specify no EVENT name, format changed as: p:GRP/ [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS] It will generate event name automatically and one example is: echo 'p:usb_gadget/ config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events.

tracing: Fix sleeping while atomic in kdb ftdump If you drop into kdb and type "ftdump" you'll get a sleeping while atomic warning from memory allocation in trace_find_next_entry(). This appears to have been caused by commit ff895103a84a ("tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entry"), which added the allocation in that path. The problematic commit was already fixed by commit 8e99cf91b99b ("tracing: Do not allocate buffer in trace_find_next_entry() in atomic") but that fix missed the kdb case. The fix here is easy: just move the assignment of the static buffer to the place where it should have been to begin with: trace_init_global_iter(). That function is called in two places, once is right before the assignment of the static buffer added by the previous fix and once is in kdb. Note that it appears that there's a second static buffer that we need to assign that was added in commit efbbdaa22bb7 ("tracing: Show real address for trace event arguments"), so we'll move that too.

tracing: Use strim() to remove whitespace instead of doing it manually The tracing_set_trace_write() function just removes the trailing whitespace from the user supplied tracer name, but the leading whitespace should also be removed. In addition, if the user supplied tracer name contains only a few whitespace characters, the first one will not be removed using the current method, which results it a single whitespace character left in the buf. To fix all of these issues, we use strim() to correctly remove both the leading and trailing whitespace.

tracing: Add snapshot at end of kernel boot up Add ftrace_boot_snapshot kernel parameter that will take a snapshot at the end of boot up just before switching over to user space (it happens during the kernel freeing of init memory). This is useful when there's interesting data that can be collected from kernel start up, but gets overridden by user space start up code. With this option, the ring buffer content from the boot up traces gets saved in the snapshot at the end of boot up. This trace can be read from: /sys/kernel/tracing/snapshot Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Remove size restriction on tracing_log_err cmd strings Currently, tracing_log_err.cmd strings are restricted to a length of MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL (256), which is too short for some commands already seen in the wild (with cmd strings longer than that showing up truncated). Remove the restriction so that no command string is ever truncated.

Using invalid option values causes the entire kernel boot option string to be reported as Unknown and added to init's environment strings, polluting it. Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6 kprobe_event=p,syscall_any,$arg1 trace_options=quiet trace_clock=jiffies", will be passed to user space.

tracing: Fix tp_printk option related with tp_printk_stop_on_boot The kernel parameter "tp_printk_stop_on_boot" starts with "tp_printk" which is the same as another kernel parameter "tp_printk". If "tp_printk" setup is called before the "tp_printk_stop_on_boot", it will override the latter and keep it from being set. This is similar to other kernel parameter issues, such as: Commit 745a600cf1a6 ("um: console: Ignore console= option") or init/do_mounts.c:45 (setup function of "ro" kernel param) Fix it by checking for a "_" right after the "tp_printk" and if that exists do not process the parameter.

tracing: Make trace_marker{,_raw} stream-like The tracing marker files are write-only streams with no meaningful concept of file position. Using stream_open() to mark them as stream-link indicates this and has the added advantage that a single file descriptor can now be used from multiple threads without contention thanks to clearing FMODE_ATOMIC_POS. Note that this has the potential to break existing userspace by since both lseek(2) and pwrite(2) will now return ESPIPE when previously lseek would have updated the stored offset and pwrite would have appended to the trace. A survey of libtracefs and several other projects found to use trace_marker(_raw) [1][2][3] suggests that everyone limits themselves to calling write(2) and close(2) on these file descriptors so there is a good chance this will go unnoticed and the benefits of reduced overhead and lock contention seem worth the risk.

tracing: Disable preemption when using the filter buffer In case trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() is called with preemption enabled, the algorithm that defines the usage of the per cpu filter buffer may fail if the task schedules to another CPU after determining which buffer it will use. Disable preemption when using the filter buffer. And because that same buffer must be used throughout the call, keep preemption disabled until the filter buffer is released. This will also keep the semantics between the use case of when the filter buffer is used, and when the ring buffer itself is used, as that case also disables preemption until the ring buffer is released.

tracing: Disable "other" permission bits in the tracefs files When building the files in the tracefs file system, do not by default set any permissions for OTH (other). This will make it easier for admins who want to define a group for accessing tracefs and not having to first disable all the permission bits for "other" in the file system. As tracing can leak sensitive information, it should never by default allowing all users access. An admin can still set the permission bits for others to have access, which may be useful for creating a honeypot and seeing who takes advantage of it and roots the machine.

This will allow a rewrite of the logic that implements the trace_pid_list without affecting the users. Note, this causes a change in behavior. Every time a pid is written into the set_*_pid file, it creates a new list and uses RCU to update it. If pid_max is lowered, but there was a pid currently in the list that was higher than pid_max, those pids will now be removed on updating the list. The old behavior kept that from happening. The rewrite of the pid_list logic will no longer depend on pid_max, and will return the old behavior. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Add migrate-disabled counter to tracing output. migrate_disable() forbids task migration to another CPU. It is available since v5.11 and has already users such as highmem or BPF. It is useful to observe this task state in tracing which already has other states like the preemption counter. Instead of adding the migrate disable counter as a new entry to struct trace_entry, which would extend the whole struct by four bytes, it is squashed into the preempt-disable counter. The lower four bits represent the preemption counter, the upper four bits represent the migrate disable counter. Both counter shouldn't exceed 15 but if they do, there is a safety net which caps the value at 15. Add the migrate-disable counter to the trace entry so it shows up in the trace. Due to the users mentioned above, it is already possible to observe it: | bash-1108 [000] ...21 73.950578: rss_stat: mm_id=2213312838 curr=0 type=MM_ANONPAGES size=8192B | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: irq_disable: caller=flush_tlb_mm_range+0x115/0x130 parent=ptep_clear_flush+0x42/0x50 | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: tlb_flush: pages:1 reason:local mm shootdown (3) The last value is the migrate-disable counter. Things that popped up: - trace_print_lat_context() does not print the migrate counter. Not sure if it should. It is used in "verbose" mode and uses 8 digits and I'm not sure ther is something processing the value. - trace_define_common_fields() now defines a different variable. This probably breaks things. No ide what to do in order to preserve the old behaviour. Since this is used as a filter it should be split somehow to be able to match both nibbles here.

tracing: Add a probe that attaches to trace events A new dynamic event is introduced: event probe. The event is attached to an existing tracepoint and uses its fields as arguments. The user can specify custom format string of the new event, select what tracepoint arguments will be printed and how to print them. An event probe is created by writing configuration string in 'dynamic_events' ftrace file: e[:[SNAME/]ENAME] SYSTEM/EVENT [FETCHARGS] - Set an event probe -:SNAME/ENAME - Delete an event probe Where: SNAME - System name, if omitted 'eprobes' is used. ENAME - Name of the new event in SNAME, if omitted the SYSTEM_EVENT is used. SYSTEM - Name of the system, where the tracepoint is defined, mandatory. EVENT - Name of the tracepoint event in SYSTEM, mandatory. FETCHARGS - Arguments: <name>=$<field>[:TYPE] - Fetch given filed of the tracepoint and print it as given TYPE with given name. Supported types are: (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), basic type (x8/x16/x32/x64), hexadecimal types "string", "ustring" and bitfield. Example, attach an event probe on openat system call and print name of the file that will be opened: echo "e:esys/eopen syscalls/sys_enter_openat file=\$filename:string" >> dynamic_events A new dynamic event is created in events/esys/eopen/ directory. It can be deleted with: echo "-:esys/eopen" >> dynamic_events Filters, triggers and histograms can be attached to the new event, it can be matched in synthetic events. There is one limitation - an event probe can not be attached to kprobe, uprobe or another event probe.

printk: remove NMI tracking All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough. There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk deferred printing: arch/arm/kernel/smp.c arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c kernel/trace/trace.c For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the same objective. For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was added in commit 03fc7f9c99c1 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context. It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context. There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled transparently in vprintk().

tracing/histogram: Rename "cpu" to "common_cpu" Currently the histogram logic allows the user to write "cpu" in as an event field, and it will record the CPU that the event happened on. The problem with this is that there's a lot of events that have "cpu" as a real field, and using "cpu" as the CPU it ran on, makes it impossible to run histograms on the "cpu" field of events. For example, if I want to have a histogram on the count of the workqueue_queue_work event on its cpu field, running: ># echo 'hist:keys=cpu' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger Gives a misleading and wrong result. Change the command to "common_cpu" as no event should have "common_*" fields as that's a reserved name for fields used by all events. And this makes sense here as common_cpu would be a field used by all events. Now we can even do: ># echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu if cpu < 100' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger ># cat events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/hist # event histogram # # trigger info: hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if cpu < 100 [active] # { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 7, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 2 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 2 { common_cpu: 1, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 4 { common_cpu: 6, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 4 { common_cpu: 5, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 14 { common_cpu: 4, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 26 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 0 } hitcount: 39 { common_cpu: 2, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 184 Now for backward compatibility, I added a trick. If "cpu" is used, and the field is not found, it will fall back to "common_cpu" and work as it did before. This way, it will still work for old programs that use "cpu" to get the actual CPU, but if the event has a "cpu" as a field, it will get that event's "cpu" field, which is probably what it wants anyway. I updated the tracefs/README to include documentation about both the common_timestamp and the common_cpu. This way, if that text is present in the README, then an application can know that common_cpu is supported over just plain "cpu".

tracing: Resize tgid_map to pid_max, not PID_MAX_DEFAULT Currently tgid_map is sized at PID_MAX_DEFAULT entries, which means that on systems where pid_max is configured higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT the ftrace record-tgid option doesn't work so well. Any tasks with PIDs higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT are simply not recorded in tgid_map, and don't show up in the saved_tgids file. In particular since systemd v243 & above configure pid_max to its highest possible 1<<22 value by default on 64 bit systems this renders the record-tgids option of little use. Increase the size of tgid_map to the configured pid_max instead, allowing it to cover the full range of PIDs up to the maximum value of PID_MAX_LIMIT if the system is configured that way. On 64 bit systems with pid_max == PID_MAX_LIMIT this will increase the size of tgid_map from 256KiB to 16MiB. Whilst this 64x increase in memory overhead sounds significant 64 bit systems are presumably best placed to accommodate it, and since tgid_map is only allocated when the record-tgid option is actually used presumably the user would rather it spends sufficient memory to actually record the tgids they expect. The size of tgid_map could also increase for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=y configurations, but these seem unlikely to be systems upon which people are both configuring a large pid_max and running ftrace with record-tgid anyway. Of note is that we only allocate tgid_map once, the first time that the record-tgid option is enabled. Therefore its size is only set once, to the value of pid_max at the time the record-tgid option is first enabled. If a user increases pid_max after that point, the saved_tgids file will not contain entries for any tasks with pids beyond the earlier value of pid_max.

tracing: Simplify & fix saved_tgids logic The tgid_map array records a mapping from pid to tgid, where the index of an entry within the array is the pid & the value stored at that index is the tgid. The saved_tgids_next() function iterates over pointers into the tgid_map array & dereferences the pointers which results in the tgid, but then it passes that dereferenced value to trace_find_tgid() which treats it as a pid & does a further lookup within the tgid_map array. It seems likely that the intent here was to skip over entries in tgid_map for which the recorded tgid is zero, but instead we end up skipping over entries for which the thread group leader hasn't yet had its own tgid recorded in tgid_map. A minimal fix would be to remove the call to trace_find_tgid, turning: if (trace_find_tgid(*ptr)) into: if (*ptr) ..but it seems like this logic can be much simpler if we simply let seq_read() iterate over the whole tgid_map array & filter out empty entries by returning SEQ_SKIP from saved_tgids_show(). Here we take that approach, removing the incorrect logic here entirely.

trace: Add a generic function to read/write u64 values from tracefs The hwlat detector and (in preparation for) the osnoise/timerlat tracers have a set of u64 parameters that the user can read/write via tracefs. For instance, we have hwlat_detector's window and width. To reduce the code duplication, hwlat's window and width share the same read function. However, they do not share the write functions because they do different parameter checks. For instance, the width needs to be smaller than the window, while the window needs to be larger than the window. The same pattern repeats on osnoise/timerlat, and a large portion of the code was devoted to the write function. Despite having different checks, the write functions have the same structure: read a user-space buffer take the lock that protects the value check for minimum and maximum acceptable values save the value release the lock return success or error To reduce the code duplication also in the write functions, this patch provides a generic read and write implementation for u64 values that need to be within some minimum and/or maximum parameters, while (potentially) being protected by a lock. To use this interface, the structure trace_min_max_param needs to be filled: struct trace_min_max_param { struct mutex *lock; u64 *val; u64 *min; u64 *max; }; The desired value is stored on the variable pointed by *val. If *min points to a minimum acceptable value, it will be checked during the write operation. Likewise, if *max points to a maximum allowable value, it will be checked during the write operation. Finally, if *lock points to a mutex, it will be taken at the beginning of the operation and released at the end. The definition of a trace_min_max_param needs to passed as the (private) *data for tracefs_create_file(), and the trace_min_max_fops (added by this patch) as the *fops file_operations.

But the data that can be stored in the temp buffer is a PAGE_SIZE minus the ring buffer event header. The calculation of that header size is complex, but using the helper macro "struct_size()" can simplify it.

tracing: Do not stop recording cmdlines when tracing is off The saved_cmdlines is used to map pids to the task name, such that the output of the tracing does not just show pids, but also gives a human readable name for the task. If the name is not mapped, the output looks like this: <...>-1316 [005] ...2 132.044039: ... Instead of this: gnome-shell-1316 [005] ...2 132.044039: ... The names are updated when tracing is running, but are skipped if tracing is stopped. Unfortunately, this stops the recording of the names if the top level tracer is stopped, and not if there's other tracers active. The recording of a name only happens when a new event is written into a ring buffer, so there is no need to test if tracing is on or not. If tracing is off, then no event is written and no need to test if tracing is off or not. Remove the check, as it hides the names of tasks for events in the instance buffers.

tracing: Map all PIDs to command lines The default max PID is set by PID_MAX_DEFAULT, and the tracing infrastructure uses this number to map PIDs to the comm names of the tasks, such output of the trace can show names from the recorded PIDs in the ring buffer. This mapping is also exported to user space via the "saved_cmdlines" file in the tracefs directory. But currently the mapping expects the PIDs to be less than PID_MAX_DEFAULT, which is the default maximum and not the real maximum. Recently, systemd will increases the maximum value of a PID on the system, and when tasks are traced that have a PID higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT, its comm is not recorded. This leads to the entire trace to have "<...>" as the comm name, which is pretty useless. Instead, keep the array mapping the size of PID_MAX_DEFAULT, but instead of just mapping the index to the comm, map a mask of the PID (PID_MAX_DEFAULT - 1) to the comm, and find the full PID from the map_cmdline_to_pid array (that already exists). This bug goes back to the beginning of ftrace, but hasn't been an issue until user space started increasing the maximum value of PIDs.

tracing: Add a verifier to check string pointers for trace events It is a common mistake for someone writing a trace event to save a pointer to a string in the TP_fast_assign() and then display that string pointer in the TP_printk() with %s. The problem is that those two events may happen a long time apart, where the source of the string may no longer exist. The proper way to handle displaying any string that is not guaranteed to be in the kernel core rodata section, is to copy it into the ring buffer via the __string(), __assign_str() and __get_str() helper macros. Add a check at run time while displaying the TP_printk() of events to make sure that every %s referenced is safe to dereference, and if it is not, trigger a warning and only show the address of the pointer, and the dereferenced string if it can be safely retrieved with a strncpy_from_kernel_nofault() call. In order to not have to copy the parsing of vsnprintf() formats, or even exporting its code, the verifier relies on vsnprintf() being able to modify the va_list that is passed to it, and it remains modified after it is called. This is the case for some architectures like x86_64, but other architectures like x86_32 pass the va_list to vsnprintf() as a value not a reference, and the verifier can not use it to parse the non string arguments. Thus, at boot up, it is checked if vsnprintf() modifies the passed in va_list or not, and a static branch will disable the verifier if it's not compatible.

tracing: Use a no_filter_buffering_ref to stop using the filter buffer Currently, the trace histograms relies on it using absolute time stamps to trigger the tracing to not use the temp buffer if filters are set. That's because the histograms need the full timestamp that is saved in the ring buffer. That is no longer the case, as the ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() can now return the time stamp for all events without all triggering a full absolute time stamp. Now that the absolute time stamp is an unrelated dependency to not using the filters. There's nothing about having absolute timestamps to keep from using the filter buffer. Instead, change the interface to explicitly state to disable filter buffering that the histogram logic can use.

tracing: Pass buffer of event to trigger operations The ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() is going to be updated to extract the time stamp for the event without needing it to be set to have absolute values for all events. But to do so, it needs the buffer that the event is on as the buffer saves information for the event before it is committed to the buffer. If the trace buffer is disabled, a temporary buffer is used, and there's no access to this buffer from the current histogram triggers, even though it is passed to the trace event code. Pass the buffer that the event is on all the way down to the histogram triggers.

tracing: Fix checking event hash pointer logic when tp_printk is enabled Pointers in events that are printed are unhashed if the flags allow it, and the logic to do so is called before processing the event output from the raw ring buffer. In most cases, this is done when a user reads one of the trace files. But if tp_printk is added on the kernel command line, this logic is done for trace events when they are triggered, and their output goes out via printk. The unhash logic (and even the validation of the output) did not support the tp_printk output, and would crash.

tracing: Fix stack trace event size Commit cbc3b92ce037 fixed an issue to modify the macros of the stack trace event so that user space could parse it properly. Originally the stack trace format to user space showed that the called stack was a dynamic array. But it is not actually a dynamic array, in the way that other dynamic event arrays worked, and this broke user space parsing for it. The update was to make the array look to have 8 entries in it. Helper functions were added to make it parse it correctly, as the stack was dynamic, but was determined by the size of the event stored. Although this fixed user space on how it read the event, it changed the internal structure used for the stack trace event. It changed the array size from [0] to [8] (added 8 entries). This increased the size of the stack trace event by 8 words. The size reserved on the ring buffer was the size of the stack trace event plus the number of stack entries found in the stack trace. That commit caused the amount to be 8 more than what was needed because it did not expect the caller field to have any size. This produced 8 entries of garbage (and reading random data) from the stack trace event: <idle>-0 [002] d... 1976396.837549: <stack trace> => trace_event_raw_event_sched_switch => __traceiter_sched_switch => __schedule => schedule_idle => do_idle => cpu_startup_entry => secondary_startup_64_no_verify => 0xc8c5e150ffff93de => 0xffff93de => 0 => 0 => 0xc8c5e17800000000 => 0x1f30affff93de => 0x00000004 => 0x200000000 Instead, subtract the size of the caller field from the size of the event to make sure that only the amount needed to store the stack trace is reserved.

If the ring buffers are turned off, the tests will fail, due to lack of data. Because tracing being disabled is for a specific reason (warning, user decided to, etc), it does not make sense to enable tracing to run the self tests, as the test output may corrupt the reason for the tracing to be disabled.

tracing: Show real address for trace event arguments To help debugging kernel, show real address for trace event arguments in tracefs/trace{,pipe} instead of hashed pointer value. Since ftrace human-readable format uses vsprintf(), all %p are translated to hash values instead of pointer address. However, when debugging the kernel, raw address value gives a hint when comparing with the memory mapping in the kernel. (Those are sometimes used with crash log, which is not hashed too) So converting %p with %px when calling trace_seq_printf(). Moreover, this is not improving the security because the tracefs can be used only by root user and the raw address values are readable from tracefs/percpu/cpu*/trace_pipe_raw file.

tracing: Use in_serving_softirq() to deduct softirq status. PREEMPT_RT does not report "serving softirq" because the tracing core looks at the preemption counter while PREEMPT_RT does not update it while processing softirqs in order to remain preemptible. The information is stored somewhere else. The in_serving_softirq() macro and the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET define are still working but not on the preempt-counter. Use in_serving_softirq() macro which works on PREEMPT_RT. On !PREEMPT_RT the compiler (gcc-10 / clang-11) is smart enough to optimize the in_serving_softirq() related read of the preemption counter away. The only difference I noticed by using in_serving_softirq() on !PREEMPT_RT is that gcc-10 implemented tracing_gen_ctx_flags() as reading FLAG, jmp _tracing_gen_ctx_flags(). Without in_serving_softirq() it inlined _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() into tracing_gen_ctx_flags().

tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter. The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits (softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed. The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'. tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth (considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one special cases). The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record. The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the state. Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used outside of trace recording. This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and local_save_flags() invocations. As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke: - trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update() - event_trigger_unlock_commit() -> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update() -> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update() In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times. A build with all tracers enabled on x86-64 with and without the patch: text data bss dec hex filename 21970669 17084168 7639260 46694097 2c87ed1 vmlinux.old 21970293 17084168 7639260 46693721 2c87d59 vmlinux.new text shrank by 379 bytes, data remained constant.

tracing: Check length before giving out the filter buffer When filters are used by trace events, a page is allocated on each CPU and used to copy the trace event fields to this page before writing to the ring buffer. The reason to use the filter and not write directly into the ring buffer is because a filter may discard the event and there's more overhead on discarding from the ring buffer than the extra copy. The problem here is that there is no check against the size being allocated when using this page. If an event asks for more than a page size while being filtered, it will get only a page, leading to the caller writing more that what was allocated. Check the length of the request, and if it is more than PAGE_SIZE minus the header default back to allocating from the ring buffer directly. The ring buffer may reject the event if its too big anyway, but it wont overflow.

tracing: Offload eval map updates to a work queue In order for tracepoints to export their enums to user space, the use of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro is used. On boot up, the strings shown in the tracefs "print fmt" lines are processed, and all the enums registered by TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM are replaced with the interger value. This way, userspace tools that read the raw binary data, knows how to evaluate the raw events. This is currently done in an initcall, but it has been noticed that slow embedded boards that have tracing may take a few seconds to process them all, and a few seconds slow down on an embedded device is detrimental to the system. Instead, offload the work to a work queue and make sure that its finished by destroying the work queue (which flushes all work) in a late initcall. This will allow the system to continue to boot and run the updates in the background, and this speeds up the boot time. Note, the strings being updated are only used by user space, so finishing the process before the system is fully booted will prevent any race issues.

tracing: Disable ftrace selftests when any tracer is running Disable ftrace selftests when any tracer (kernel command line options like ftrace=, trace_events=, kprobe_events=, and boot-time tracing) starts running because selftest can disturb it.

This unifies the disabled flag and all of those boot-time tracing features sets the flag.

tracing: Fix alignment of static buffer With 5.9 kernel on ARM64, I found ftrace_dump output was broken but it had no problem with normal output "cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace". With investigation, it seems coping the data into temporal buffer seems to break the align binary printf expects if the static buffer is not aligned with 4-byte. IIUC, get_arg in bstr_printf expects that args has already right align to be decoded and seq_buf_bprintf says ``the arguments are saved in a 32bit word array that is defined by the format string constraints``. So if we don't keep the align under copy to temporal buffer, the output will be broken by shifting some bytes. This patch fixes it.

tracing: Fix trace_find_next_entry() accounting of temp buffer size The temp buffer size variable for trace_find_next_entry() was incorrectly being updated when the size did not change. The temp buffer size should only be updated when it is reallocated. This is mostly an issue when used with ftrace_dump(). That's because ftrace_dump() can not allocate a new buffer, and instead uses a temporary buffer with a fix size. But the variable that keeps track of that size is incorrectly updated with each call, and it could fall into the path that would try to reallocate the buffer and produce a warning. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1601 at kernel/trace/trace.c:3548 trace_find_next_entry+0xd0/0xe0 Modules linked in [..] CPU: 1 PID: 1601 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.9.0-rc5-test+ #521 Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF/339A, BIOS K01 v03.03 07/14/2016 RIP: 0010:trace_find_next_entry+0xd0/0xe0 Code: 40 21 00 00 4c 89 e1 31 d2 4c 89 ee 48 89 df e8 c6 9e ff ff 89 ab 54 21 00 00 5b 5d 41 5c 41 5d c3 48 63 d5 eb bf 31 c0 eb f0 <0f> 0b 48 63 d5 eb b4 66 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 53 48 8d 8f 60 21 RSP: 0018:ffff95a4f2e8bd70 EFLAGS: 00010046 RAX: ffffffff96679fc0 RBX: ffffffff97910de0 RCX: ffffffff96679fc0 RDX: ffff95a4f2e8bd98 RSI: ffff95a4ee321098 RDI: ffffffff97913000 RBP: 0000000000000018 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: 0000000000000046 R12: ffff95a4f2e8bd98 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: ffff95a4ee321098 R15: 00000000009aa301 FS: 00007f8565484740(0000) GS:ffff95a55aa40000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 000055876bd43d90 CR3: 00000000b76e6003 CR4: 00000000001706e0 Call Trace: trace_print_lat_context+0x58/0x2d0 ? cpumask_next+0x16/0x20 print_trace_line+0x1a4/0x4f0 ftrace_dump.cold+0xad/0x12c __handle_sysrq.cold+0x51/0x126 write_sysrq_trigger+0x3f/0x4a proc_reg_write+0x53/0x80 vfs_write+0xca/0x210 ksys_write+0x70/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x33/0x40 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7f8565579487 Code: 64 89 02 48 c7 c0 ff ff ff ff eb bb 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 f3 0f 1e fa 64 8b 04 25 18 00 00 00 85 c0 75 10 b8 01 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 51 c3 48 83 ec 28 48 89 54 24 18 48 89 74 24 RSP: 002b:00007ffd40707948 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000001 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000002 RCX: 00007f8565579487 RDX: 0000000000000002 RSI: 000055876bd74de0 RDI: 0000000000000001 RBP: 000055876bd74de0 R08: 000000000000000a R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 000055876bdec280 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000002 R13: 00007f856564a500 R14: 0000000000000002 R15: 00007f856564a700 irq event stamp: 109958 ---[ end trace 7aab5b7e51484b00 ]--- Not only fix the updating of the temp buffer, but also do not free the temp buffer before a new buffer is allocated (there's no reason to not continue to use the current temp buffer if an allocation fails).

tracing: Make the space reserved for the pid wider For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to 4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default becomes 131072 which needs six digits. This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the initial upper limit. Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like on big iron with 98+ CPUs). Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

We instead tries to automount within debugfs and relay on it's handling. The code path is to create a backward compatibility from when tracefs was part of debugfs, it is now standalone and does not need debugfs. When debugfs is in restricted it is compiled in but not active and return EPERM to clients and tracefs wont work if it assumes it is active it is compiled in kernel.

tracing: Move pipe reference to trace array instead of current_tracer If a process has the trace_pipe open on a trace_array, the current tracer for that trace array should not be changed. This was original enforced by a global lock, but when instances were introduced, it was moved to the current_trace. But this structure is shared by all instances, and a trace_pipe is for a single instance. There's no reason that a process that has trace_pipe open on one instance should prevent another instance from changing its current tracer. Move the reference counter to the trace_array instead. This is marked as "Fixes" but is more of a clean up than a true fix. Backport if you want, but its not critical.

This can cause confusion in examining the trace, as it may not be obvious where the warning happened. By adding a trace print into the trace just before disabling tracing, it makes it obvious where the warning occurred, and the developer doesn't have to look at other means to see what CPU it occurred on.

tracing: Add a vmalloc_sync_mappings() for safe measure x86_64 lazily maps in the vmalloc pages, and the way this works with per_cpu areas can be complex, to say the least. Mappings may happen at boot up, and if nothing synchronizes the page tables, those page mappings may not be synced till they are used. This causes issues for anything that might touch one of those mappings in the path of the page fault handler. When one of those unmapped mappings is touched in the page fault handler, it will cause another page fault, which in turn will cause a page fault, and leave us in a loop of page faults. Commit 763802b53a42 ("x86/mm: split vmalloc_sync_all()") split vmalloc_sync_all() into vmalloc_sync_unmappings() and vmalloc_sync_mappings(), as on system exit, it did not need to do a full sync on x86_64 (although it still needed to be done on x86_32). By chance, the vmalloc_sync_all() would synchronize the page mappings done at boot up and prevent the per cpu area from being a problem for tracing in the page fault handler. But when that synchronization in the exit of a task became a nop, it caused the problem to appear.

sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical.

tracing: Do not allocate buffer in trace_find_next_entry() in atomic When dumping out the trace data in latency format, a check is made to peek at the next event to compare its timestamp to the current one, and if the delta is of a greater size, it will add a marker showing so. But to do this, it needs to save the current event otherwise peeking at the next event will remove the current event. To save the event, a temp buffer is used, and if the event is bigger than the temp buffer, the temp buffer is freed and a bigger buffer is allocated. This allocation is a problem when called in atomic context. The only way this gets called via atomic context is via ftrace_dump(). Thus, use a static buffer of 128 bytes (which covers most events), and if the event is bigger than that, simply return NULL. The callers of trace_find_next_entry() need to handle a NULL case, as that's what would happen if the allocation failed.

ftrace: Create set_ftrace_notrace_pid to not trace tasks There's currently a way to select a task that should only be traced by functions, but there's no way to select a task not to be traced by the function tracer. Add a set_ftrace_notrace_pid file that acts the same as set_ftrace_pid (and is also affected by function-fork), but the task pids in this file will not be traced even if they are listed in the set_ftrace_pid file. This makes it easy for tools like trace-cmd to "hide" itself from the function tracer when it is recording other tasks. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: Rename ring_buffer_read() to read_buffer_iter_advance() When the ring buffer was first created, the iterator followed the normal producer/consumer operations where it had both a peek() operation, that just returned the event at the current location, and a read(), that would return the event at the current location and also increment the iterator such that the next peek() or read() will return the next event. The only use of the ring_buffer_read() is currently to move the iterator to the next location and nothing now actually reads the event it returns. Rename this function to its actual use case to ring_buffer_iter_advance(), which also adds the "iter" part to the name, which is more meaningful. As the timestamp returned by ring_buffer_read() was never used, there's no reason that this new version should bother having returning it. It will also become a void function.

tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entry In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating, it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable. There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single copy, this use case will no longer be supported. Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.

tracing: Disable trace_printk() on post poned tests The tracing seftests checks various aspects of the tracing infrastructure, and one is filtering. If trace_printk() is active during a self test, it can cause the filtering to fail, which will disable that part of the trace. To keep the selftests from failing because of trace_printk() calls, trace_printk() checks the variable tracing_selftest_running, and if set, it does not write to the tracing buffer. As some tracers were registered earlier in boot, the selftest they triggered would fail because not all the infrastructure was set up for the full selftest. Thus, some of the tests were post poned to when their infrastructure was ready (namely file system code). The postpone code did not set the tracing_seftest_running variable, and could fail if a trace_printk() was added and executed during their run.

tracing: Decrement trace_array when bootconfig creates an instance The trace_array_get_by_name() creates a ftrace instance and trace_array_put() is used to remove the reference. Even though the trace_array_get_by_name() creates the instance, it also adds a reference count to it, that prevents user space from removing it. As the bootconfig just creates the instance on boot up, it should still be used where it can be deleted by user space after boot. A trace_array_put() is required to let that happen. Also, change the documentation on trace_array_get_by_name() to make this not be so confusing.

tracing: Allow trace_printk() to nest in other tracing code trace_printk() is used to debug the kernel which includes the tracing infrastructure. But because it writes to the ring buffer, and so does much of the tracing infrastructure, the ring buffer's recursive detection will drop writes to the ring buffer that is in the same context as the current write is happening (it allows interrupts to write when normal context is writing, but wont let normal context write while normal context is writing). This can cause confusion and think that the code is where the trace_printk() exists is not hit. To solve this, up the recursive nesting of the ring buffer when trace_printk() is called before it writes to the buffer itself. Note, this does make it dangerous to use trace_printk() in the ring buffer code itself, because this basically disables the recursion protection of trace_printk() buffer writes. But as trace_printk() is only used for debugging, and if this does occur, the developer will see the cause real quick (recursive blowing up of the stack). Thus the developer can deal with that. But having trace_printk() silently ignored is a much bigger problem, and disabling recursive protection is a small price to pay to fix it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ftrace: Implement fs notification for tracing_max_latency This patch implements the feature that the tracing_max_latency file, e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency will receive notifications through the fsnotify framework when a new latency is available. One particularly interesting use of this facility is when enabling threshold tracing, through /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh, together with the preempt/irqsoff tracers. This makes it possible to implement a user space program that can, with equal probability, obtain traces of latencies that occur immediately after each other in spite of the fact that the preempt/irqsoff tracers operate in overwrite mode. This facility works with the hwlat, preempt/irqsoff, and wakeup tracers. The tracers may call the latency_fsnotify() from places such as __schedule() or do_idle(); this makes it impossible to call queue_work() directly without risking a deadlock. The same would happen with a softirq, kernel thread or tasklet. For this reason we use the irq_work mechanism to call queue_work(). This patch creates a new workqueue. The reason for doing this is that I wanted to use the WQ_UNBOUND and WQ_HIGHPRI flags. My thinking was that WQ_UNBOUND might help with the latency in some important cases. If we use: queue_work(system_highpri_wq, &tr->fsnotify_work); then the work will (almost) always execute on the same CPU but if we are unlucky that CPU could be too busy while there could be another CPU in the system that would be able to process the work soon enough. queue_work_on() could be used to queue the work on another CPU but it seems difficult to select the right CPU.

ftrace: Add information on number of page groups allocated Looking for ways to shrink the size of the dyn_ftrace structure, knowing the information about how many pages and the number of groups of those pages, is useful in working out the best ways to save on memory. This adds one info print on how many groups of pages were used to allocate the ftrace dyn_ftrace structures, and also shows the number of pages and groups in the dyn_ftrace_total_info (which is used for debugging).

There is no loop. So, it must be looping in the caller tracing_read_pipe() via the "waitagain" label. Crashdump analyze uncovered that iter->seq was completely zeroed at this point, including iter->seq.seq.size. It means that print_trace_line() was never able to print anything and there was no forward progress. The culprit seems to be in the code: /* reset all but tr, trace, and overruns */ memset(&iter->seq, 0, sizeof(struct trace_iterator) - offsetof(struct trace_iterator, seq)); It was added by the commit 53d0aa773053ab182877 ("ftrace: add logic to record overruns"). It was v2.6.27-rc1. It was the time when iter->seq looked like: struct trace_seq { unsigned char buffer[PAGE_SIZE]; unsigned int len; }; There was no "size" variable and zeroing was perfectly fine. The solution is to reinitialize the structure after or without zeroing.

tracing: Add locked_down checks to the open calls of files created for tracefs Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown mode, and if so, to return -EPERM. Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines) as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been modified.

tracing: Add tracing_check_open_get_tr() Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is disabled until reboot. As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array, then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and the trace_array associated with it freed). Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to tracefs later.

If the code is compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a string on memory but other has no string since it is optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on one event.

tracing/probe: Support user-space dereference Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space. The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value. +|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>) e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si)) For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy, param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new probe as below; p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3) Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the dereference method automatically because we do not know whether the given address is in userspace or kernel on some archs. So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to carefully choose the dereference method.

tracing/probe: Add ustring type for user-space string Add "ustring" type for fetching user-space string from kprobe event. User can specify ustring type at uprobe event, and it is same as "string" for uprobe. Note that probe-event provides this option but it doesn't choose the correct type automatically since we have not way to decide the address is in user-space or not on some arch (and on some other arch, you can fetch the string by "string" type). So user must carefully check the target code (e.g. if you see __user on the target variable) and use this new type.

tracing: Eliminate const char[] auto variables Automatic const char[] variables cause unnecessary code generation. For example, the this_mod variable leads to 3f04: 48 b8 5f 5f 74 68 69 73 5f 6d movabs $0x6d5f736968745f5f,%rax # __this_m 3f0e: 4c 8d 44 24 02 lea 0x2(%rsp),%r8 3f13: 48 8d 7c 24 10 lea 0x10(%rsp),%rdi 3f18: 48 89 44 24 02 mov %rax,0x2(%rsp) 3f1d: 4c 89 e9 mov %r13,%rcx 3f20: b8 65 00 00 00 mov $0x65,%eax # e 3f25: 48 c7 c2 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%rdx 3f28: R_X86_64_32S .rodata.str1.1+0x18d 3f2c: be 48 00 00 00 mov $0x48,%esi 3f31: c7 44 24 0a 6f 64 75 6c movl $0x6c75646f,0xa(%rsp) # odul 3f39: 66 89 44 24 0e mov %ax,0xe(%rsp) i.e., the string gets built on the stack at runtime. Similar code can be found for the other instances I'm replacing here. Putting the string in .rodata reduces the combined .text+.rodata size and saves time and stack space at runtime. The simplest fix, and what I've done for the this_mod case, is to just make the variable static. However, for the "<faulted>" case where the same string is used twice, that prevents the linker from merging those two literals, so instead use a macro - that also keeps the two instances automatically in sync (instead of only the compile-time strlen expression). Finally, for the two runs of spaces, it turns out that the "build these strings on the stack" is not the worst part of what gcc does - it turns print_func_help_header_irq() into "if (tgid) { /* print_event_info + five seq_printf calls */ } else { /* print event_info + another five seq_printf */}". Taking inspiration from a suggestion from Al Viro, use %.*s to make snprintf either stop after the first two spaces or print the whole string. As a bonus, the seq_printfs now fit on single lines (at least, they are not longer than the existing ones in the function just above), making it easier to see that the ascii art lines up. x86-64 defconfig + CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER: $ scripts/stackdelta /tmp/stackusage.{0,1} ./kernel/trace/ftrace.c ftrace_mod_callback 152 136 -16 ./kernel/trace/trace.c trace_default_header 56 32 -24 ./kernel/trace/trace.c tracing_mark_raw_write 96 72 -24 ./kernel/trace/trace.c tracing_mark_write 104 80 -24 bloat-o-meter add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 0/4 up/down: 14/-375 (-361) Function old new delta this_mod - 14 +14 ftrace_mod_callback 577 542 -35 tracing_mark_raw_write 444 374 -70 tracing_mark_write 616 540 -76 trace_default_header 600 406 -194 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190320081757.6037-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Use percpu stack trace buffer more intelligently The per cpu stack trace buffer usage pattern is odd at best. The buffer has place for 512 stack trace entries on 64-bit and 1024 on 32-bit. When interrupts or exceptions nest after the per cpu buffer was acquired the stacktrace length is hardcoded to 8 entries. 512/1024 stack trace entries in kernel stacks are unrealistic so the buffer is a complete waste. Split the buffer into 4 nest levels, which are 128/256 entries per level. This allows nesting contexts (interrupts, exceptions) to utilize the cpu buffer for stack retrieval and avoids the fixed length allocation along with the conditional execution pathes.

tracing: Fix buffer_ref pipe ops This fixes multiple issues in buffer_pipe_buf_ops: - The ->steal() handler must not return zero unless the pipe buffer has the only reference to the page. But generic_pipe_buf_steal() assumes that every reference to the pipe is tracked by the page's refcount, which isn't true for these buffers - buffer_pipe_buf_get(), which duplicates a buffer, doesn't touch the page's refcount. Fix it by using generic_pipe_buf_nosteal(), which refuses every attempted theft. It should be easy to actually support ->steal, but the only current users of pipe_buf_steal() are the virtio console and FUSE, and they also only use it as an optimization. So it's probably not worth the effort. - The ->get() and ->release() handlers can be invoked concurrently on pipe buffers backed by the same struct buffer_ref. Make them safe against concurrency by using refcount_t. - The pointers stored in ->private were only zeroed out when the last reference to the buffer_ref was dropped. As far as I know, this shouldn't be necessary anyway, but if we do it, let's always do it.

tracing: Add tracing error log Introduce a new ftrace file, tracing/error_log, for ftrace commands to log errors. This is useful for allowing more complex commands such as hist trigger and kprobe_event commands to point out specifically where something may have gone wrong without forcing them to resort to more ad hoc methods such as tacking error messages onto existing output files. To log a tracing error, call the event_log_err() function, passing it a location string describing where it came from e.g. kprobe_events or system:event, the command that caused the error, an array of static error strings describing errors and an index within that array which describes the specific error, along with the position to place the error caret. Reading the log displays the last (currently) 8 errors logged in the following format: [timestamp] <loc>: error: <static error text> Command: <command that caused the error> ^ Memory for the error log isn't allocated unless there has been a trace event error, and the error log can be cleared and have its memory freed by writing the empty string in truncation mode to it: # echo > tracing/error_log.

tracing: kdb: Fix ftdump to not sleep As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context". kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in atomic context. A very simple solution for this is to add allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without triggering the allocation error. This patch does that. Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer ahead of time or create our own iterator. I'm hoping that this alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already allocated). NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the duplication. This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer). The downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer. Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump | grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it will throw away the whole trace on the first grep. A future patch to dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to implement.

tracing: Use strncpy instead of memcpy when copying comm in trace.c Because there may be random garbage beyond a string's null terminator, code that might use the entire comm array e.g. histogram keys, can give unexpected results if that garbage is copied in too, so avoid that possibility by using strncpy instead of memcpy.

tracing: Comment why cond_snapshot is checked outside of max_lock protection Before setting tr->cond_snapshot, it must be NULL before it can be updated. It can go to NULL when a trace event hist trigger is created or removed, and can only be modified under the max_lock spin lock. But because it can only be set to something other than NULL under both the max_lock spin lock as well as the trace_types_lock, we can perform the check if it is not NULL only under the trace_types_lock and fail out without having to grab the max_lock spin lock. This is very subtle, and deserves a comment. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Add alternative synthetic event trace action syntax Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to synthetic_event_name(params). Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name as a function call. Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the synthetic event is in effect being traced. In this version, a new 'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in as the first argument. In addition, for the sake of consistency with other actions, change the documention to emphasize the trace() form over the function-call form, which remains documented as equivalent.

tracing: Add conditional snapshot Currently, tracing snapshots are context-free - they capture the ring buffer contents at the time the tracing_snapshot() function was invoked, and nothing else. Additionally, they're always taken unconditionally - the calling code can decide whether or not to take a snapshot, but the data used to make that decision is kept separately from the snapshot itself. This change adds the ability to associate with each trace instance some user data, along with an 'update' function that can use that data to determine whether or not to actually take a snapshot. The update function can then update that data along with any other state (as part of the data presumably), if warranted. Because snapshots are 'global' per-instance, only one user can enable and use a conditional snapshot for any given trace instance. To enable a conditional snapshot (see details in the function and data structure comments), the user calls tracing_snapshot_cond_enable(). Similarly, to disable a conditional snapshot and free it up for other users, tracing_snapshot_cond_disable() should be called. To actually initiate a conditional snapshot, tracing_snapshot_cond() should be called. tracing_snapshot_cond() will invoke the update() callback, allowing the user to decide whether or not to actually take the snapshot and update the user-defined data associated with the snapshot. If the callback returns 'true', tracing_snapshot_cond() will then actually take the snapshot and return. This scheme allows for flexibility in snapshot implementations - for example, by implementing slightly different update() callbacks, snapshots can be taken in situations where the user is only interested in taking a snapshot when a new maximum in hit versus when a value changes in any way at all. Future patches will demonstrate both cases.

The string array type is a bit different from other types. For other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type> (e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array", but string array type represents "char * array".

uprobes: Support SDT markers having reference count (semaphore) Userspace Statically Defined Tracepoints[1] are dtrace style markers inside userspace applications. Applications like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Pthread, Perl, Python, Java, Ruby, Node.js, libvirt, QEMU, glib etc have these markers embedded in them. These markers are added by developer at important places in the code. Each marker source expands to a single nop instruction in the compiled code but there may be additional overhead for computing the marker arguments which expands to couple of instructions. In case the overhead is more, execution of it can be omitted by runtime if() condition when no one is tracing on the marker: if (reference_counter > 0) { Execute marker instructions; } Default value of reference counter is 0. Tracer has to increment the reference counter before tracing on a marker and decrement it when done with the tracing. Implement the reference counter logic in core uprobe. User will be able to use it from trace_uprobe as well as from kernel module. New trace_uprobe definition with reference counter will now be: <path>:<offset>[(ref_ctr_offset)] where ref_ctr_offset is an optional field. For kernel module, new variant of uprobe_register() has been introduced: uprobe_register_refctr(inode, offset, ref_ctr_offset, consumer) No new variant for uprobe_unregister() because it's assumed to have only one reference counter for one uprobe. [1] https://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/UserSpaceProbeImplementation Note: 'reference counter' is called as 'semaphore' in original Dtrace (or Systemtap, bcc and even in ELF) documentation and code. But the term 'semaphore' is misleading in this context. This is just a counter used to hold number of tracers tracing on a marker. This is not really used for any synchronization. So we are calling it a 'reference counter' in kernel / perf code.

One being that if the hwlat tracer is enabled, and someone does "echo 1 > tracing_on" into tracing_on, the hwlat tracer's start() function is called again which will recreate another kernel thread, and make it unable to remove the old one.

ring_buffer: tracing: Inherit the tracing setting to next ring buffer Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching to the trace buffer snapshot. Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer (max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.

tracing: Reorder display of TGID to be after PID Currently ftrace displays data in trace output like so: _-----=> irqs-off / _----=> need-resched | / _---=> hardirq/softirq || / _--=> preempt-depth ||| / delay TASK-PID CPU TGID |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION | | | | |||| | | bash-1091 [000] ( 1091) d..2 28.313544: sched_switch: However Android's trace visualization tools expect a slightly different format due to an out-of-tree patch patch that was been carried for a decade, notice that the TGID and CPU fields are reversed: _-----=> irqs-off / _----=> need-resched | / _---=> hardirq/softirq || / _--=> preempt-depth ||| / delay TASK-PID TGID CPU |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION | | | | |||| | | bash-1091 ( 1091) [002] d..2 64.965177: sched_switch: From kernel v4.13 onwards, during which TGID was introduced, tracing with systrace on all Android kernels will break (most Android kernels have been on 4.9 with Android patches, so this issues hasn't been seen yet). From v4.13 onwards things will break. The chrome browser's tracing tools also embed the systrace viewer which uses the legacy TGID format and updates to that are known to be difficult to make. Considering this, I suggest we make this change to the upstream kernel and backport it to all Android kernels. I believe this feature is merged recently enough into the upstream kernel that it shouldn't be a problem. Also logically, IMO it makes more sense to group the TGID with the TASK-PID and the CPU after these.

printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI The commit 719f6a7040f1bdaf96 ("printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is available") brought back the possible deadlocks in printk() and NMI. The check of logbuf_lock is done only in printk_nmi_enter() to prevent mixed output. But another CPU might take the lock later, enter NMI, and: + Both NMIs might be serialized by yet another lock, for example, the one in nmi_cpu_backtrace(). + The other CPU might get stopped in NMI, see smp_send_stop() in panic(). The only safe solution is to use trylock when storing the message into the main log-buffer. It might cause reordering when some lines go to the main lock buffer directly and others are delayed via the per-CPU buffer. It means that it is not useful in general. This patch replaces the problematic NMI deferred context with NMI direct context. It can be used to mark a code that might produce many messages in NMI and the risk of losing them is more critical than problems with eventual reordering. The context is then used when dumping trace buffers on oops. It was the primary motivation for the original fix. Also the reordering is even smaller issue there because some traces have their own time stamps. Finally, nmi_cpu_backtrace() need not longer be serialized because it will always us the per-CPU buffers again.

tracing: Add trigger file for trace_markers tracefs/ftrace/print Allow writing to the trace_markers file initiate triggers defined in tracefs/ftrace/print/trigger file. This will allow of user space to trigger the same type of triggers (including histograms) that the trace events use. Had to create a ftrace_event_register() function that will become the trace_marker print event's reg() function. This is required because of how triggers are enabled: event_trigger_write() { event_trigger_regex_write() { trigger_process_regex() { for p in trigger_commands { p->func(); /* trigger_snapshot_cmd->func */ event_trigger_callback() { cmd_ops->reg() /* register_trigger() */ { trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() { trace_event_enable_disable() { call->class->reg(); Without the reg() function, the trigger code will call a NULL pointer and crash the system.

As reported by several folks systemd and other applications rely on the documented behaviour of CLOCK_MONOTONIC on Linux and break with the above changes. After resume daemons time out and other timeout related issues are observed. Rafael compiled this list: * systemd kills daemons on resume, after >WatchdogSec seconds of suspending (Genki Sky). [Verified that that's because systemd uses CLOCK_MONOTONIC and expects it to not include the suspend time.] * systemd-journald misbehaves after resume: systemd-journald[7266]: File /var/log/journal/016627c3c4784cd4812d4b7e96a34226/system.journal corrupted or uncleanly shut down, renaming and replacing. (Mike Galbraith). * NetworkManager reports "networking disabled" and networking is broken after resume 50% of the time (Pavel). [May be because of systemd.] * MATE desktop dims the display and starts the screensaver right after system resume (Pavel). * Full system hang during resume (me). [May be due to systemd or NM or both.] That happens on debian and open suse systems. It's sad, that these problems were neither catched in -next nor by those folks who expressed interest in this change. Reported-by: Rafael J.

tracing: Fixup logic inversion on setting trace_global_clock defaults In commit 932066a15335 ("tracing: Default to using trace_global_clock if sched_clock is unstable"), the logic for deciding to override the default clock if unstable was reversed from the earlier posting. I was trying to reduce the width of the message by using an early return rather than a if-block, but reverted back to using the if-block and accidentally left the predicate inverted.

tracing: Default to using trace_global_clock if sched_clock is unstable Across suspend, we may see a very large drift in timestamps if the sched clock is unstable, prompting the global trace's ringbuffer code to warn and suggest switching to the global clock. Preempt this request by detecting when the sched clock is unstable (determined during late_initcall) and automatically switching the default clock over to trace_global_clock. This should prevent requiring user interaction to resolve warnings such as: Delta way too big! 18446743856563626466 ts=18446744054496180323 write stamp = 197932553857 If you just came from a suspend/resume, please switch to the trace global clock: echo global > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180330150132.16903-1-chris@chris-wilson.co.uk Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Add variable reference handling to hist triggers Add the necessary infrastructure to allow the variables defined on one event to be referenced in another. This allows variables set by a previous event to be referenced and used in expressions combining the variable values saved by that previous event and the event fields of the current event. For example, here's how a latency can be calculated and saved into yet another variable named 'wakeup_lat': # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ... # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ... In the first event, the event's timetamp is saved into the variable ts0. In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second event's timestamp to produce the latency. Further users of variable references will be described in subsequent patches, such as for instance how the 'wakeup_lat' variable above can be displayed in a latency histogram.

tracing: Add timestamp_mode trace file Add a new option flag indicating whether or not the ring buffer is in 'absolute timestamp' mode. Currently this is only set/unset by hist triggers that make use of a common_timestamp. As such, there's no reason to make this writeable for users - its purpose is only to allow users to determine unequivocally whether or not the ring buffer is in that mode (although absolute timestamps can coexist with the normal delta timestamps, when the ring buffer is in absolute mode, timestamps written while absolute mode is in effect take up more space in the buffer, and are not as efficient).

tracing: Add barrier to trace_printk() buffer nesting modification trace_printk() uses 4 buffers, one for each context (normal, softirq, irq and NMI), such that it does not need to worry about one context preempting the other. There's a nesting counter that gets incremented to figure out which buffer to use. If the context gets preempted by another context which calls trace_printk() it will increment the counter and use the next buffer, and restore the counter when it is finished. The problem is that gcc may optimize the modification of the buffer nesting counter and it may not be incremented in memory before the buffer is used. If this happens, and the context gets interrupted by another context, it could pick the same buffer and corrupt the one that is being used. Compiler barriers need to be added after the nesting variable is incremented and before it is decremented to prevent usage of the context buffers by more than one context at the same time.

tracing: Only have rmmod clear buffers that its events were active in Currently, when a module event is enabled, when that module is removed, it clears all ring buffers. This is to prevent another module from being loaded and having one of its trace event IDs from reusing a trace event ID of the removed module. This could cause undesirable effects as the trace event of the new module would be using its own processing algorithms to process raw data of another event. To prevent this, when a module is loaded, if any of its events have been used (signified by the WAS_ENABLED event call flag, which is never cleared), all ring buffers are cleared, just in case any one of them contains event data of the removed event. The problem is, there's no reason to clear all ring buffers if only one (or less than all of them) uses one of the events. Instead, only clear the ring buffers that recorded the events of a module that is being removed. To do this, instead of keeping the WAS_ENABLED flag with the trace event call, move it to the per instance (per ring buffer) event file descriptor. The event file descriptor maps each event to a separate ring buffer instance. Then when the module is removed, only the ring buffers that activated one of the module's events get cleared. The rest are not touched. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

While trace_buffers_open, the open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer. Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer. Reproduce: cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw (cpu31 is never on-lined, this is a 16 cores x86_64 box) Tested with: 1) boot with maxcpus=14, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15. Got -NODEV. 2) oneline cpu15, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15. Get the raw trace data. Call trace: [ 5760.950995] RIP: 0010:ring_buffer_alloc_read_page+0x32/0xe0 [ 5760.961678] tracing_buffers_read+0x1f6/0x230 [ 5760.962695] __vfs_read+0x37/0x160 [ 5760.963498] ? __vfs_read+0x5/0x160 [ 5760.964339] ? security_file_permission+0x9d/0xc0 [ 5760.965451] ? __vfs_read+0x5/0x160 [ 5760.966280] vfs_read+0x8c/0x130 [ 5760.967070] SyS_read+0x55/0xc0 [ 5760.967779] do_syscall_64+0x67/0x150 [ 5760.968687] entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25" This was introduced by the addition of the feature to reuse reader pages instead of re-allocating them. The problem is that the allocation of a reader page (which is per cpu) does not check if the cpu is online and set up for the ring buffer.

tracing: Call clear_boot_tracer() at lateinit_sync The clear_boot_tracer function is used to reset the default_bootup_tracer string to prevent it from being accessed after boot, as it originally points to init data. But since clear_boot_tracer() is called via the init_lateinit() call, it races with the initcall for registering the hwlat tracer. If someone adds "ftrace=hwlat" to the kernel command line, depending on how the linker sets up the text, the saved command line may be cleared, and the hwlat tracer never is initialized. Simply have the clear_boot_tracer() be called by initcall_lateinit_sync() as that's for tasks to be called after lateinit.

tracing: Fixup trace file header alignment The addition of TGID to the tracing header added a check to see if TGID shoudl be displayed or not, and updated the header accordingly. Unfortunately, it broke the default header. Also add constant strings to use for spacing. This does remove the visibility of the header a bit, but cuts it down from the extended lines much greater than 80 characters.

ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter When doing the following command: # echo ":mod:kvm_intel" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter it triggered a crash. This happened with the clean up of probes. It required all callers to the regex function (doing ftrace filtering) to have ops->private be a pointer to a trace_array. But for the stack tracer, that is not the case. Allow for the ops->private to be NULL, and change the function command callbacks to handle the trace_array pointer being NULL as well.

tracing: Add support for recording tgid of tasks Inorder to support recording of tgid, the following changes are made: * Introduce a new API (tracing_record_taskinfo) to additionally record the tgid along with the task's comm at the same time. This has has the benefit of not setting trace_cmdline_save before all the information for a task is saved. * Add a new API tracing_record_taskinfo_sched_switch to record task information for 2 tasks at a time (previous and next) and use it from sched_switch probe. * Preserve the old API (tracing_record_cmdline) and create it as a wrapper around the new one so that existing callers aren't affected. * Reuse the existing sched_switch and sched_wakeup probes to record tgid information and add a new option 'record-tgid' to enable recording of tgid When record-tgid option isn't enabled to being with, we take care to make sure that there's isn't memory or runtime overhead.

ring-buffer: Return reader page back into existing ring buffer When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice, where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page for the reader. The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc mechanism. Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring buffer. Before this change: # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1 # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l 9968 After this change: # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1 # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l 4 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing/ftrace: Add a better way to pass data via the probe functions With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes (triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the top array. That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but this change sets the ground work for the change. When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init() function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place holder data that it was initialized to the last time. Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions, where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free() function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the place holder if it was allocade during the first init call. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ftrace: Dynamically create the probe ftrace_ops for the trace_array In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and the filters for the probes. This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for each instance, instead of being static.

Currently, all function probes are the same for all instances as it was before, that is, only the top level trace_array holds the function probes. But this lays the ground work to have function probes be attached to individual instances, and having the event trigger only affect events in the given instance. But that work is still to be done.

ftrace: Remove data field from ftrace_func_probe structure No users of the function probes uses the data field anymore. Remove it, and change the init function to take a void *data parameter instead of a void **data, because the init will just get the data that the registering function was received, and there's no state after it is called. The other functions for ftrace_probe_ops still take the data parameter, but it will currently only be passed NULL. It will stay as a parameter for future data to be passed to these functions.

tracing: Allocate the snapshot buffer before enabling probe Currently the snapshot trigger enables the probe and then allocates the snapshot. If the probe triggers before the allocation, it could cause the snapshot to fail and turn tracing off. It's best to allocate the snapshot buffer first, and then enable the trigger. If something goes wrong in the enabling of the trigger, the snapshot buffer is still allocated, but it can also be freed by the user by writting zero into the snapshot buffer file. Also add a check of the return status of alloc_snapshot().

ftrace: Fix function pid filter on instances When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch to track if current task can be ignored. The probe checks the ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks. But it misses to delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free). This is easily reproducible with the following: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # mkdir instances/buggy # echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid # rmdir instances/buggy ============================================================================ BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90 Read of size 8 by task kworker/0:1/17 CPU: 0 PID: 17 Comm: kworker/0:1 Tainted: G B 4.11.0-rc3 #198 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x9f kasan_object_err+0x21/0x70 kasan_report.part.1+0x22b/0x500 ? ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90 kasan_report+0x25/0x30 __asan_load8+0x5e/0x70 ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90 ? fpid_start+0x130/0x130 __schedule+0x571/0xce0 ...

tracing: Move trace_handle_return() out of line Currently trace_handle_return() looks like this: static inline enum print_line_t trace_handle_return(struct trace_seq *s) { return trace_seq_has_overflowed(s) ? TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE : TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED; } Where trace_seq_overflowed(s) is: static inline bool trace_seq_has_overflowed(struct trace_seq *s) { return s->full || seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq); } And seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq) is: static inline bool seq_buf_has_overflowed(struct seq_buf *s) { return s->len > s->size; } Making trace_handle_return() into: return (s->full || (s->seq->len > s->seq->size)) ? TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE : TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED; One would think this is not an issue to keep as an inline. But because this is used in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, it is extended for every tracepoint in the system. Taking a look at a single tracepoint x86_irq_vector (was the first one I randomly chosen). As trace_handle_return is used in the TRACE_EVENT() macro of trace_raw_output_##call() we disassemble trace_raw_output_x86_irq_vector and do a diff: - is the original + is the out-of-line code I removed identical lines that were different just due to different addresses. --- /tmp/irq-vec-orig 2017-03-16 09:12:48.569384851 -0400 +++ /tmp/irq-vec-ool 2017-03-16 09:13:39.378153385 -0400 @@ -6,27 +6,23 @@ 53 push %rbx 48 89 fb mov %rdi,%rbx 4c 8b a7 c0 20 00 00 mov 0x20c0(%rdi),%r12 e8 f7 72 13 00 callq ffffffff81155c80 <trace_raw_output_prep> 83 f8 01 cmp $0x1,%eax 74 05 je ffffffff8101e993 <trace_raw_output_x86_irq_vector+0x23> 5b pop %rbx 41 5c pop %r12 5d pop %rbp c3 retq 41 8b 54 24 08 mov 0x8(%r12),%edx - 48 8d bb 98 10 00 00 lea 0x1098(%rbx),%rdi + 48 81 c3 98 10 00 00 add $0x1098,%rbx - 48 c7 c6 7b 8a a0 81 mov $0xffffffff81a08a7b,%rsi + 48 c7 c6 ab 8a a0 81 mov $0xffffffff81a08aab,%rsi - e8 c5 85 13 00 callq ffffffff81156f70 <trace_seq_printf> === here's the start of the main difference === + 48 89 df mov %rbx,%rdi + e8 62 7e 13 00 callq ffffffff81156810 <trace_seq_printf> - 8b 93 b8 20 00 00 mov 0x20b8(%rbx),%edx - 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax - 85 d2 test %edx,%edx - 75 11 jne ffffffff8101e9c8 <trace_raw_output_x86_irq_vector+0x58> - 48 8b 83 a8 20 00 00 mov 0x20a8(%rbx),%rax - 48 39 83 a0 20 00 00 cmp %rax,0x20a0(%rbx) - 0f 93 c0 setae %al + 48 89 df mov %rbx,%rdi + e8 4a c5 12 00 callq ffffffff8114af00 <trace_handle_return> 5b pop %rbx - 0f b6 c0 movzbl %al,%eax === end === 41 5c pop %r12 5d pop %rbp c3 retq If you notice, the original has 22 bytes of text more than the out of line version.

fs: Better permission checking for submounts To support unprivileged users mounting filesystems two permission checks have to be performed: a test to see if the user allowed to create a mount in the mount namespace, and a test to see if the user is allowed to access the specified filesystem. The automount case is special in that mounting the original filesystem grants permission to mount the sub-filesystems, to any user who happens to stumble across the their mountpoint and satisfies the ordinary filesystem permission checks. Attempting to handle the automount case by using override_creds almost works. It preserves the idea that permission to mount the original filesystem is permission to mount the sub-filesystem. Unfortunately using override_creds messes up the filesystems ordinary permission checks. Solve this by being explicit that a mount is a submount by introducing vfs_submount, and using it where appropriate. vfs_submount uses a new mount internal mount flags MS_SUBMOUNT, to let sget and friends know that a mount is a submount so they can take appropriate action. sget and sget_userns are modified to not perform any permission checks on submounts. follow_automount is modified to stop using override_creds as that has proven problemantic. do_mount is modified to always remove the new MS_SUBMOUNT flag so that we know userspace will never by able to specify it. autofs4 is modified to stop using current_real_cred that was put in there to handle the previous version of submount permission checking. cifs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to vfs_submount. debugfs is modified to pass the mountpoint all of the way down to trace_automount by adding a new parameter. To make this change easier a new typedef debugfs_automount_t is introduced to capture the type of the debugfs automount function.

tracing: Replace kmap with copy_from_user() in trace_marker writing Instead of using get_user_pages_fast() and kmap_atomic() when writing to the trace_marker file, just allocate enough space on the ring buffer directly, and write into it via copy_from_user(). Writing into the trace_marker file use to allocate a temporary buffer to perform the copy_from_user(), as we didn't want to write into the ring buffer if the copy failed. But as a trace_marker write is suppose to be extremely fast, and allocating memory causes other tracepoints to trigger, Peter Zijlstra suggested using get_user_pages_fast() and kmap_atomic() to keep the user space pages in memory and reading it directly. But Henrik Austad had issues with this because it required taking the mm->mmap_sem and causing long delays with the write. Instead, just allocate the space in the ring buffer and use copy_from_user() directly. If it faults, return -EFAULT and write "<faulted>" into the ring buffer.

This is a very dangerous operation, but is useful for debugging. The issue is, it's seldom used, but it is always checked even if it's not enabled by the kernel command line. Instead of having this feature called by a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this will remove the test and jump.

tracing: Add hook to function tracing for other subsystems to use Currently Function traces can be only exported to the ring buffer. This adds a trace_export concept which can process traces and export them to a registered destination as an addition to the current one that outputs to Ftrace - i.e. ring buffer. In this way, if we want function traces to be sent to other destinations rather than only to the ring buffer, we just need to register a new trace_export and implement its own .write() function for writing traces to storage. With this patch, only function tracing (trace type is TRACE_FN) is supported.

tracing: Added hardware latency tracer The hardware latency tracer has been in the PREEMPT_RT patch for some time. It is used to detect possible SMIs or any other hardware interruptions that the kernel is unaware of. Note, NMIs may also be detected, but that may be good to note as well. The logic is pretty simple. It simply creates a thread that spins on a single CPU for a specified amount of time (width) within a periodic window (window). These numbers may be adjusted by their cooresponding names in /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/ The defaults are window = 1000000 us (1 second) width = 500000 us (1/2 second) The loop consists of: t1 = trace_clock_local(); t2 = trace_clock_local(); Where trace_clock_local() is a variant of sched_clock(). The difference of t2 - t1 is recorded as the "inner" timestamp and also the timestamp t1 - prev_t2 is recorded as the "outer" timestamp. If either of these differences are greater than the time denoted in /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh then it records the event. When this tracer is started, and tracing_thresh is zero, it changes to the default threshold of 10 us. The hwlat tracer in the PREEMPT_RT patch was originally written by Jon Masters. I have modified it quite a bit and turned it into a tracer. Based-on-code-by: Jon Masters <jcm@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ftrace: Move toplevel init out of ftrace_init_tracefs() Commit 345ddcc882d8 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events do") placed ftrace_init_tracefs into the instance creation, and encapsulated the top level updating with an if conditional, as the top level only gets updated at boot up. Unfortunately, this triggers section mismatch errors as the init functions are called from a function that can be called later, and the section mismatch logic is unaware of the if conditional that would prevent it from happening at run time. To make everyone happy, create a separate ftrace_init_tracefs_toplevel() routine that only gets called by init functions, and this will be what calls other init functions for the toplevel directory.

tracing: Skip more functions when doing stack tracing of events # echo 1 > options/stacktrace # echo 1 > events/sched/sched_switch/enable # cat trace <idle>-0 [002] d..2 1982.525169: <stack trace> => save_stack_trace => __ftrace_trace_stack => trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs => event_trigger_unlock_commit => trace_event_buffer_commit => trace_event_raw_event_sched_switch => __schedule => schedule => schedule_preempt_disabled => cpu_startup_entry => start_secondary The above shows that we are seeing 6 functions before ever making it to the caller of the sched_switch event. # echo stacktrace > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger # cat trace <idle>-0 [002] d..3 2146.335208: <stack trace> => trace_event_buffer_commit => trace_event_raw_event_sched_switch => __schedule => schedule => schedule_preempt_disabled => cpu_startup_entry => start_secondary The stacktrace trigger isn't as bad, because it adds its own skip to the stacktracing, but still has two events extra. One issue is that if the stacktrace passes its own "regs" then there should be no addition to the skip, as the regs will not include the functions being called. This was an issue that was fixed by commit 7717c6be6999 ("tracing: Fix stacktrace skip depth in trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs()" as adding the skip number for kprobes made the probes not have any stack at all. But since this is only an issue when regs is being used, a skip should be added if regs is NULL. Now we have: # echo 1 > options/stacktrace # echo 1 > events/sched/sched_switch/enable # cat trace <idle>-0 [000] d..2 1297.676333: <stack trace> => __schedule => schedule => schedule_preempt_disabled => cpu_startup_entry => rest_init => start_kernel => x86_64_start_reservations => x86_64_start_kernel # echo stacktrace > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger # cat trace <idle>-0 [002] d..3 1370.759745: <stack trace> => __schedule => schedule => schedule_preempt_disabled => cpu_startup_entry => start_secondary And kprobes are not touched.

tracing: Choose static tp_printk buffer by explicit nesting count Currently, the trace_printk code chooses which static buffer to use based on what type of atomic context (NMI, IRQ, etc) it's in. Simplify the code and make it more robust: simply count the nesting depth and choose a buffer based on the current nesting depth. The new code will only drop an event if we nest more than 4 deep, and the old code was guaranteed to malfunction if that happened.

tracing: Use temp buffer when filtering events Filtering of events requires the data to be written to the ring buffer before it can be decided to filter or not. This is because the parameters of the filter are based on the result that is written to the ring buffer and not on the parameters that are passed into the trace functions. The ftrace ring buffer is optimized for writing into the ring buffer and committing. The discard procedure used when filtering decides the event should be discarded is much more heavy weight. Thus, using a temporary filter when filtering events can speed things up drastically. Without a temp buffer we have: # trace-cmd start -p nop # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 0.790706626 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.71% ) # trace-cmd start -e all # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.566904059 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.27% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.690598511 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.19% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.707486364 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% ) The first run above is without any tracing, just to get a based figure. hackbench takes ~0.79 seconds to run on the system. The second run enables tracing all events where nothing is filtered. This increases the time by 100% and hackbench takes 1.57 seconds to run. The third run filters all events where the preempt count will equal "20" (this should never happen) thus all events are discarded. This takes 1.69 seconds to run. This is 10% slower than just committing the events! The last run enables all events and filters where the filter will commit all events, and this takes 1.70 seconds to run. The filtering overhead is approximately 10%. Thus, the discard and commit of an event from the ring buffer may be about the same time. With this patch, the numbers change: # trace-cmd start -p nop # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 0.778233033 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.38% ) # trace-cmd start -e all # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.582102692 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.28% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.309230710 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% ) # trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20' # perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50 1.786001924 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.20% ) The first run is again the base with no tracing. The second run is all tracing with no filtering. It is a little slower, but that may be well within the noise. The third run shows that discarding all events only took 1.3 seconds. This is a speed up of 23%! The discard is much faster than even the commit. The one downside is shown in the last run. Events that are not discarded by the filter will take longer to add, this is due to the extra copy of the event.

tracing: Add support for named hist triggers Allow users to define 'named' hist triggers. All triggers created with the same 'name=xxx' option will update the same shared histogram data. This expands the hist trigger syntax from this: # echo hist:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger to this: # echo hist:name=xxx:keys=xxx ... [ if filter] > event/trigger Named histograms must use a 'compatible' set of keys and values, which means each event added to a set of named triggers must have the same names and types. Reading the 'hist' file of any of the participating events will produce the same output as any other participating event, which is to be expected since they share the same data.

tracing: Add hist trigger support for multiple values ('vals=' param) Allow users to specify trace event fields to use in aggregated sums via a new 'vals=' keyword. Before this addition, the only aggregated sum supported was the implied value 'hitcount'. With this addition, 'hitcount' is also supported as an explicit value field, as is any numeric trace event field. This expands the hist trigger syntax from this: # echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger to this: # echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy [ if filter] > event/trigger Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/2a5d1adb5ba6c65d7bb2148e379f2fed47f29a68.1457029949.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Add 'hist' event trigger command 'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events, which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file containing the aggregation in a human-readable format. The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables completely defined by the user. This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter. A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users via this simple mechanism. In fact, a large number of the tasks that users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used in the creation of a hash table. The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of the event format files associated with each trace event. By simply consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties of the system. See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples. hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers from a user's perspective as well. The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax. Users start an aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's trigger file: # echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key and a value field named 'hitcount'. To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist' file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file: # cat event/hist The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

tracing: Add infrastructure to allow set_event_pid to follow children Add the infrastructure needed to have the PIDs in set_event_pid to automatically add PIDs of the children of the tasks that have their PIDs in set_event_pid. This will also remove PIDs from set_event_pid when a task exits This is implemented by adding hooks into the fork and exit tracepoints. On fork, the PIDs are added to the list, and on exit, they are removed. Add a new option called event_fork that when set, PIDs in set_event_pid will automatically get their children PIDs added when they fork, as well as any task that exits will have its PID removed from set_event_pid. This works for instances as well. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Make tracer_flags use the right set_flag callback When I was updating the ftrace_stress test of ltp. I encountered a strange phenomemon, excute following steps: echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-cpu bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument check dmesg: [ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the result The reason is that the trace option test will randomly setup trace option under tracing/options no matter what the current_tracer is. but the set_tracer_option is always using the set_flag callback from the current_tracer. This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter what the the current_tracer is. And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code. And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.

tracing: Put back comma for empty fields in boot string parsing Both early_enable_events() and apply_trace_boot_options() parse a boot string that may get parsed later on. They both use strsep() which converts a comma into a nul character. To still allow the boot string to be parsed again the same way, the nul character gets converted back to a comma after the token is processed. The problem is that these two functions check for an empty parameter (two commas in a row ",,"), and continue the loop if the parameter is empty, but fails to place the comma back. In this case, the second parsing will end at this blank field, and not process fields afterward. In most cases, users should not have an empty field, but if its going to be checked, the code might as well be correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Apply tracer specific options from kernel command line. Currently, the trace_options parameter is only applied in tracer_alloc_buffers() when global_trace.current_trace is nop_trace, so a tracer specific option will not be applied even when the specific tracer is also enabled from kernel command line. For example, the 'func_stack_trace' option can't be enabled with the following kernel parameter: ftrace=function ftrace_filter=kfree trace_options=func_stack_trace We can enable tracer specific options by simply apply the options again if the specific tracer is also supplied from command line and started in register_tracer(). To make trace_boot_options_buf can be parsed again, a comma and a space is put back if they were replaced by strsep and strstrip respectively. Also make register_tracer() be __init to access the __init data, and in fact register_tracer is only called from __init code.

tracing: Move trace_flags from global to a trace_array field In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace instance trace_array structure. There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace, where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

tracing: Always show all tracer options in the options directory There are options that are unique to a specific tracer (like function and function graph). Currently, these options are only visible in the options directory when the tracer is enabled. This has been a pain, especially for something like the func_stack_trace option that if used inappropriately, could bring the system to a crawl. But the only way to see it, is to enable the function tracer. For example, if one had done: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo __schedule > set_ftrace_filter # echo 1 > options/func_stack_trace # echo function > current_tracer The __schedule call will be traced and a stack trace will also be recorded there. Now when you were done, you may do... # echo nop > current_tracer # echo > set_ftrace_filter But you forgot to disable the func_stack_trace. The only way to disable it is to re-enable function tracing first. If you do not add a filter to set_ftrace_filter and just do: # echo function > current_tracer Now you would be performing a stack trace on *every* function! On some systems, that causes a live lock. Others may take a few minutes to fix your mistake. Having the func_stack_trace option visible allows you to check it and disable it before enabling the funtion tracer.

tracing: Use TRACE_FLAGS macro to keep enums and strings matched Use a cute little macro trick to keep the names of the trace flags file guaranteed to match the corresponding masks. The macro TRACE_FLAGS is defined as a serious of enum names followed by the string name of the file that matches it. For example: #define TRACE_FLAGS \ C(PRINT_PARENT, "print-parent"), \ C(SYM_OFFSET, "sym-offset"), \ C(SYM_ADDR, "sym-addr"), \ C(VERBOSE, "verbose"), Now we can define the following: #undef C #define C(a, b) TRACE_ITER_##a##_BIT enum trace_iterator_bits { TRACE_FLAGS }; The above creates: enum trace_iterator_bits { TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT_BIT, TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET_BIT, TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT, TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE_BIT, }; Then we can redefine C as: #undef C #define C(a, b) TRACE_ITER_##a = (1 << TRACE_ITER_##a##_BIT) enum trace_iterator_flags { TRACE_FLAGS }; Which creates: enum trace_iterator_flags { TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT = (1 << TRACE_ITER_PRINT_PARENT_BIT), TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET = (1 << TRACE_ITER_SYM_OFFSET_BIT), TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR = (1 << TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT), TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE = (1 << TRACE_ITER_VERBOSE_BIT), }; Then finally we can create the list of file names: #undef C #define C(a, b) b static const char *trace_options[] = { TRACE_FLAGS NULL }; Which creates: static const char *trace_options[] = { "print-parent", "sym-offset", "sym-addr", "verbose", NULL }; The importance of this is that the strings match the bit index. trace_options[TRACE_ITER_SYM_ADDR_BIT] == "sym-addr" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Remove unused tracing option "ftrace_preempt" There was a time where the function tracing would disable interrupts unless specifically told not to, where it would only disable preemption. With the new lockless code, the function tracing never disalbes interrupts and just uses disabling of preemption. Remove the option "ftrace_preempt" as it does nothing anyway.

tracing: Move "display-graph" option to main options In order to facilitate making all tracer options visible even when the tracer is not active, we need to get rid of duplicate options. Any option that is shared between multiple tracers really should be a main option. As the wakeup and irqsoff tracers both use the "display-graph" option, and use it exactly the same way, move that option from the tracer options to the main options and consolidate them.

ftrace: Provide trace clock monotonic raw Expose the NMI safe accessor to the monotonic raw clock to the tracer. The mono clock was added with commit 1b3e5c0936046e7e023149ddc8946d21c2ea20eb. The advantage of the monotonic raw clock is that it will advance more constantly than the monotonic clock. Imagine someone is trying to optimize a particular program to reduce instructions executed for a given workload while minimizing the effect on runtime. Also suppose that NTP is running and potentially making larger adjustments to the monotonic clock. If NTP is adjusting the monotonic clock to advance more rapidly, the program will appear to use fewer instructions per second but run longer than if the monotonic raw clock had been used. The total number of instructions observed would be the same regardless of the clock source used, but how it's attributed to time would be affected. Conversely if NTP is adjusting the monotonic clock to advance more slowly, the program will appear to use more instructions per second but run more quickly. Of course there are many sources that can cause jitter in performance measurements on modern processors, but let's remove NTP from the list. The monotonic raw clock can also be useful for tracing early boot, e.g. when debugging issues with NTP.

tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their values Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or __print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not have access to what the ENUM is. For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would not be able to map it. With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values: By adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format [...] __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" }) The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to be modified to parse them.

tracing: Have mkdir and rmdir be part of tracefs The tracing "instances" directory can create sub tracing buffers with mkdir, and remove them with rmdir. As a mkdir will also create all the files and directories that control the sub buffer the inode mutexes need to be released before this is done, to avoid deadlocks. It is better to let the tracing system unlock the inode mutexes before calling the functions that create the files within the new directory (or deletes the files from the one being destroyed). Now that tracing has been converted over to tracefs, the tracefs file system can be modified to accommodate this feature. It still releases the locks, but the filesystem itself can take care of the ugly business and let the user just do what it needs. The tracing system now attaches a descriptor to the directory dentry that can have userspace create or remove sub directories. If this descriptor does not exist for a dentry, then that dentry can not be used to create other directories. This descriptor holds a mkdir and rmdir method that only takes a character string as an argument. The tracefs file system will first make a copy of the dentry name before releasing the locks. Then it will pass the copied name to the methods. It is up to the tracing system that supplied the methods to handle races with duplicate names and such as all the inode mutexes would be released when the functions are called.

Instead, the debugfs tracing directory is still created and the tracefs file system is mounted there when the debugfs filesystem is mounted. No longer does the tracing infrastructure update the debugfs file system, but instead interacts with the tracefs file system. But now, it still appears to the user like nothing changed, except you also have the feature of mounting just the tracing system without needing all of debugfs!

tracing: Convert the tracing facility over to use tracefs debugfs was fine for the tracing facility as a quick way to get an interface. Now that tracing has matured, it should separate itself from debugfs such that it can be mounted separately without needing to mount all of debugfs with it. That is, users resist using tracing because it requires mounting debugfs. Having tracing have its own file system lets users get the features of tracing without needing to bring in the rest of the kernel's debug infrastructure. Another reason for tracefs is that debubfs does not support mkdir. Currently, to create instances, one does a mkdir in the tracing/instance directory. This is implemented via a hack that forces debugfs to do something it is not intended on doing. By converting over to tracefs, this hack can be removed and mkdir can be properly implemented. This patch does not address this yet, but it lays the ground work for that to be done. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Add tp_printk cmdline to have tracepoints go to printk() Add the kernel command line tp_printk option that will have tracepoints that are active sent to printk() as well as to the trace buffer. Passing "tp_printk" will activate this. To turn it off, the sysctl /proc/sys/kernel/tracepoint_printk can have '0' echoed into it. Note, this only works if the cmdline option is used. Echoing 1 into the sysctl file without the cmdline option will have no affect. Note, this is a dangerous option. Having high frequency tracepoints send their data to printk() can possibly cause a live lock. This is another reason why this is only active if the command line option is used.

tracing: Truncated output is better than nothing The initial reason for this patch is that I noticed that: if (len > TRACE_BUF_SIZE) is off by one. In this code, if len == TRACE_BUF_SIZE, then it means we have truncated the last character off the output string. If we truncate two or more characters then we exit without printing. After some discussion, we decided that printing truncated data is better than not printing at all so we should just use vscnprintf() and remove the test entirely. Also I have updated memcpy() to copy the NUL char instead of setting the NUL in a separate step.

tracing: Clean up tracing_fill_pipe_page() The function tracing_fill_pipe_page() logic is a little confusing with the use of count saving the seq.len and reusing it. Instead of subtracting a number that is calculated from the saved value of the seq.len from seq.len, just save the seq.len at the start and if we need to reset it, just assign it again. When the seq_buf overflow is len == size + 1, the current logic will break. Changing it to use a saved length for resetting back to the original value is more robust and will work when we change the way seq_buf sets the overflow.

tracing: Add trace_seq_has_overflowed() and trace_handle_return() Adding a trace_seq_has_overflowed() which returns true if the trace_seq had too much written into it allows us to simplify the code. Instead of checking the return value of every call to trace_seq_printf() and friends, they can all be called normally, and at the end we can return !trace_seq_has_overflowed() instead. Several functions also return TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE when the trace_seq overflowed and TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED otherwise. Another helper function was created called trace_handle_return() which takes a trace_seq and returns these enums. Using this helper function also simplifies the code. This change also makes it possible to remove the return values of trace_seq_printf() and friends. They should instead just be void functions.

It converts jiffies to nanoseconds using: (u64)jiffies_to_usecs(jiffy) * 1000ULL but since jiffies_to_usecs() only returns a 32-bit value, it truncates at 2^32 microseconds. An additional problem on 32-bit systems is that the argument is "unsigned long", so fixing the return value only helps until 2^32 jiffies (49.7 days on a HZ=1000 system). Avoid these problems by using jiffies_64 as our basis, and not converting to nanoseconds (we do convert to clock_t because user facing API must not be dependent on internal kernel HZ values).

ring-buffer: Check if buffer exists before polling The per_cpu buffers are created one per possible CPU. But these do not mean that those CPUs are online, nor do they even exist. With the addition of the ring buffer polling, it assumes that the caller polls on an existing buffer. But this is not the case if the user reads trace_pipe from a CPU that does not exist, and this causes the kernel to crash. Simple fix is to check the cpu against buffer bitmask against to see if the buffer was allocated or not and return -ENODEV if it is not. More updates were done to pass the -ENODEV back up to userspace.

So, by introducing saved_cmdlines_size file, we can now change the 128 command names saved to something much larger if needed. When we write a value to saved_cmdlines_size, the number of the value will be stored in pid-comm list: # echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/saved_cmdlines_size Here, 1024 command names can be stored. The default number is 128 and the maximum number is PID_MAX_DEFAULT (=32768 if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is not set). So, if we want to avoid losing any command names, we need to set 32768 to saved_cmdlines_size.

The problem is, a comm can fail to be recorded if the trace_cmdline_lock is held. That lock is taken via a trylock to allow it to happen from any context (including NMI). If the lock fails to be taken, the comm is skipped. No big deal, as we will try again later. But! Because of the code that was added to only record after an event, we may not try again later as the recording is made as a oneshot per event per CPU.

tracing: Have saved_cmdlines use the seq_read infrastructure Current tracing_saved_cmdlines_read() implementation is naive; It allocates a large buffer, constructs output data to that buffer for each read operation, and then copies a portion of the buffer to the user space buffer. This has several issues such as slow memory allocation, high CPU usage, and even corruption of the output data. The seq_read infrastructure is made to handle this type of work. By converting it to use seq_read() the code becomes smaller, simplified, as well as correct.

tracing: Print nasty banner when trace_printk() is in use trace_printk() is used to debug fast paths within the kernel. Places that gets called in any context (interrupt or NMI) or thousands of times a second. Something you do not want to do with a printk(). In order to make it completely lockless as it needs a temporary buffer to handle some of the string formatting, a page is created per cpu for every context (four per cpu; normal, softirq, irq, NMI). Since trace_printk() should only be used for debugging purposes, there's no reason to waste memory on these buffers on a production system. That means, trace_printk() should never be used unless a developer is debugging their kernel. There's macro magic to allocate the buffers if trace_printk() is used anywhere in the kernel. To help enforce that trace_printk() isn't used outside of development, when it is used, a nasty banner is displayed on bootup (or when a module is loaded that uses trace_printk() and the kernel core does not). Here's the banner: ********************************************************** ** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE ** ** ** ** trace_printk() being used. Allocating extra memory. ** ** ** ** This means that this is a DEBUG kernel and it is ** ** unsafe for produciton use. ** ** ** ** If you see this message and you are not debugging ** ** the kernel, report this immediately to your vendor! ** ** ** ** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE ** ********************************************************** That should hopefully keep developers from trying to sneak in a trace_printk() or two.

tracing: Remove mock up poll wait function Now that the ring buffer has a built in way to wake up readers when there's data, using irq_work such that it is safe to do it in any context. But it was still using the old "poor man's" wait polling that checks every 1/10 of a second to see if it should wake up a waiter. This makes the latency for a wake up excruciatingly long. No need to do that anymore. Completely remove the different wait_poll types from the tracers and have them all use the default one now.

tracing: Break out of tracing_wait_pipe() before wait_pipe() is called When reading from trace_pipe, if tracing is off but nothing was read it should block. If something is read and tracing is off, then EOF is returned. If tracing is on and there's nothing to read, it will block. But because the check of whether tracing is off and something was read is done after the block on the pipe, it is hit or miss if the EOF is returned or not leading to inconsistent behavior.

tracing: Fix traceon trigger condition to actually turn tracing on While working on my tutorial for 2014 Linux Collaboration Summit I found that the traceon trigger did not work when conditions were used. The other triggers worked fine though. Looking into it, it is because of the way the triggers use the ring buffer to store the fields it will use for the condition. But if tracing is off, nothing is stored in the buffer, and the tracepoint exits before calling the trigger to test the condition. This is fine for all the triggers that only work when tracing is on, but for traceon trigger that is to work when tracing is off, nothing happens. The fix is simple, just use a temp ring buffer to record the event if tracing is off and the event has a trace event conditional trigger enabled. The rest of the tracepoint code will work just fine, but the tracepoint wont be recorded in the other buffers.

tracing: Add trace_clock=<clock> kernel parameter Being able to change the trace clock at boot can be advantageous if you need a better source of when things happen across CPUs. The default trace clock is the fastest, but it uses local clocks which may not be synced across CPUs and it does not let you know when events took place with respect to events on other CPUs. The global trace clock can help in this case, and if you do not care about timings, the counter "clock" is the best, as that is just a simple atomic counter that is incremented for every event. Usage is to add "trace_clock=counter" on the kernel command line. You can replace counter with "global" or any of the clocks listed in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_clock Suggested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Appreciated-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

With get_page(page) look at that page __free_page(page) look at that page __free_page(page) which is not a good thing, to put it mildly. AFAICS, that ought to use the normal generic_pipe_buf_release() (aka page_cache_release(buf->page)), shouldn't it? [ SDR - As trace_pipe just allocates the page with alloc_page(GFP_KERNEL), and doesn't do anything special with it (no LRU logic). The __free_page() should be fine, as it wont actually free a page with reference count. Maybe there's a chance to leak memory?

Unfortunately, when function tracing is not configured in that function is not defined and the kernel fails to build. This is the second time that function was added to a file ops and it broke the build due to requiring special config dependencies. Make a generic tracing_lseek() that all the tracing utilities may use. Also, modify the old ftrace_filter_lseek() to return 0 instead of 1 on WRONLY. Not sure why it was a 1 as that does not make sense. This also changes the old tracing_seek() to modify the file pos pointer on WRONLY as well.

tracing: Add 'snapshot' event trigger command Add 'snapshot' event_command. snapshot event triggers are added by the user via this command in a similar way and using practically the same syntax as the analogous 'snapshot' ftrace function command, but instead of writing to the set_ftrace_filter file, the snapshot event trigger is written to the per-event 'trigger' files: echo 'snapshot' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger The above command will turn on snapshots for someevent i.e. whenever someevent is hit, a snapshot will be done. This also adds a 'count' version that limits the number of times the command will be invoked: echo 'snapshot:N' > .../somesys/someevent/trigger Where N is the number of times the command will be invoked. The above command will snapshot N times for someevent i.e. whenever someevent is hit N times, a snapshot will be done. Also adds a new tracing_alloc_snapshot() function - the existing tracing_snapshot_alloc() function is a special version of tracing_snapshot() that also does the snapshot allocation - the snapshot triggers would like to be able to do just the allocation but not take a snapshot; the existing tracing_snapshot_alloc() in turn now also calls tracing_alloc_snapshot() underneath to do that allocation.

After: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away. The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard() redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as appropriate).

The way it is triggered is if userspace sends in 128 characters (EVENT_BUF_SIZE + 1), the loop that reads the last character stores it and then breaks out because there is no more characters. Then the last character is read to determine what to do next, and the index is incremented without checking size. Then the caller of trace_get_user() usually nulls out the last character with a zero, but since the index is equal to the size, it writes a nul character after the allocated space, which can corrupt memory. Luckily, only root user has write access to this file.

tracing: Fix reset of time stamps during trace_clock changes Fixed two issues with changing the timestamp clock with trace_clock: - The global buffer was reset on instance clock changes. Change this to pass the correct per-instance buffer - ftrace_now() is used to set buf->time_start in tracing_reset_online_cpus(). This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to return the current time. Change this to use buffer_ftrace_now() which returns the current time for the correct per-instance buffer. Also removed tracing_reset_current() because it is not used anywhere Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1375493777-17261-2-git-send-email-azl@google.com Cc: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Cc: David Sharp <dhsharp@google.com> Cc: Alexander Z Lam <lambchop468@gmail.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.10 Signed-off-by: Alexander Z Lam <azl@google.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Fix fields of struct trace_iterator that are zeroed by mistake tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains a comment about that, but it doesn't help. The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed. The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask. Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed. The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

tracing: Remove locking trace_types_lock from tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() Commit a82274151af "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c" added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock. This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often which explains why it wasn't caught right away. Commit a82274151af was marked for stable, which means this must be sent to stable too.

tracing: Introduce trace_create_cpu_file() and tracing_get_cpu() Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy. f_op->open/etc does: 1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private; struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr; 2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail; 3. do_something(tc); But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called. And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad. Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the freed/reused memory. Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper, tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS. The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers, it would be trivial to change them if needed. This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations. Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

tracing: Add trace_array_get/put() to handle instance refs better Commit a695cb58162 "tracing: Prevent deleting instances when they are being read" tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances # ( while :; do mkdir foo; rmdir foo; done ) & # ( while :; do cat foo/trace &> /dev/null; done ) & Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless. The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the reader starts to open the file but before it grabs the trace_types_mutex. The solution is to validate the trace array before using it. If the trace array does not exist in the list of trace arrays, then it returns -ENODEV. There's a possibility that a trace_array could be deleted and a new one created and the open would open its file instead. But that is very minor as it will just return the data of the new trace array, it may confuse the user but it will not crash the system. As this can only be done by root anyway, the race will only occur if root is deleting what its trying to read at the same time.

tracing: Use flag buffer_disabled for irqsoff tracer If the ring buffer is disabled and the irqsoff tracer records a trace it will clear out its buffer and lose the data it had previously recorded. Currently there's a callback when writing to the tracing_of file, but if tracing is disabled via the function tracer trigger, it will not inform the irqsoff tracer to stop recording. By using the "mirror" flag (buffer_disabled) in the trace_array, that keeps track of the status of the trace_array's buffer, it gives the irqsoff tracer a fast way to know if it should record a new trace or not. The flag may be a little behind the real state of the buffer, but it should not affect the trace too much. It's more important for the irqsoff tracer to be fast.

tracing: Disable tracing on warning Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the ring buffer. This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse, by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

tracing: Fix file mode of free_buffer Commit 4f271a2a60c748599b30bb4dafff30d770439b96 (tracing: Add a proc file to stop tracing and free buffer) implement a method to free up ring buffer in kernel memory in the release code path of free_buffer's fd. Then we don't need read/write support for free_buffer, indeed we just have a dummy write fop, and don't implement read fop. So the 0200 is more reasonable file mode for free_buffer than the current file mode 0644.

tracing: Fix outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter when use trace_clock Outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter should be a raw format, but after applying the patch(2b6080f28c7cc3efc8625ab71495aae89aeb63a0), the format was changed to nanosec. This is because the global variable trace_clock_id was used. When we use multiple buffers, clock_id of each sub-buffer should be used. Then, this patch uses tr->clock_id instead of the global variable trace_clock_id. [ Basically, this fixes a regression where the multibuffer code changed the trace_clock file to update tr->clock_id but the traces still use the old global trace_clock_id variable, negating the file's effect. The global trace_clock_id variable is obsolete and removed. - SR ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130423013239.22334.7394.stgit@yunodevel Signed-off-by: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE <yoshihiro.yunomae.ez@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Use current_uid() for critical time tracing The irqsoff tracer records the max time that interrupts are disabled. There are hooks in the assembly code that calls back into the tracer when interrupts are disabled or enabled. When they are enabled, the tracer checks if the amount of time they were disabled is larger than the previous recorded max interrupts off time. If it is, it creates a snapshot of the currently running trace to store where the last largest interrupts off time was held and how it happened. During testing, this RCU lockdep dump appeared: [ 1257.829021] =============================== [ 1257.829021] [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] [ 1257.829021] 3.10.0-rc1-test+ #171 Tainted: G W [ 1257.829021] ------------------------------- [ 1257.829021] /home/rostedt/work/git/linux-trace.git/include/linux/rcupdate.h:780 rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle!

But this is a macro that uses rcu_read_lock() to retrieve the data, and this happened to happen where RCU is blind (user_enter). As only the preempt and irqs off tracers can have this happen, and they both only have the tsk == current, if tsk == current, use current_uid() instead of task_uid(), as current_uid() does not use RCU as only current can change its uid. This fixes the RCU suspicious splat. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Fix crash when ftrace=nop on the kernel command line If ftrace=<tracer> is on the kernel command line, when that tracer is registered, it will be initiated by tracing_set_tracer() to execute that tracer. The nop tracer is just a stub tracer that is used to have no tracer enabled. It is assigned at early bootup as it is the default tracer. But if ftrace=nop is on the kernel command line, the registering of the nop tracer will call tracing_set_tracer() which will try to execute the nop tracer. But it expects tr->current_trace to be assigned something as it usually is assigned to the nop tracer. As it hasn't been assigned to anything yet, it causes the system to crash. The simple fix is to move the tr->current_trace = nop before registering the nop tracer. The functionality is still the same as the nop tracer doesn't do anything anyway.

tracing: Fix ftrace_dump() ftrace_dump() had a lot of issues. What ftrace_dump() does, is when ftrace_dump_on_oops is set (via a kernel parameter or sysctl), it will dump out the ftrace buffers to the console when either a oops, panic, or a sysrq-z occurs. This was written a long time ago when ftrace was fragile to recursion. But it wasn't written well even for that. There's a possible deadlock that can occur if a ftrace_dump() is happening and an NMI triggers another dump. This is because it grabs a lock before checking if the dump ran. It also totally disables ftrace, and tracing for no good reasons. As the ring_buffer now checks if it is read via a oops or NMI, where there's a chance that the buffer gets corrupted, it will disable itself. No need to have ftrace_dump() do the same. ftrace_dump() is now cleaned up where it uses an atomic counter to make sure only one dump happens at a time. A simple atomic_inc_return() is enough that is needed for both other CPUs and NMIs. No need for a spinlock, as if one CPU is running the dump, no other CPU needs to do it too. The tracing_on variable is turned off and not turned on. The original code did this, but it wasn't pretty. By just disabling this variable we get the result of not seeing traces that happen between crashes. For sysrq-z, it doesn't get turned on, but the user can always write a '1' to the tracing_on file. If they are using sysrq-z, then they should know about tracing_on. The new code is much easier to read and less error prone. No more deadlock possibility when an NMI triggers here.

I'm not sure why perf doesn't call trace_clock(), as trace_clock() doesn't have any users. But now it does. As trace_clock() calls local_clock() like perf does, I added the trace_clock "perf" option that uses trace_clock(). Now the ftrace buffers can use the same clock as perf uses. This will be useful when perf starts reading the ftrace buffers, and will be able to interleave them with the same clock data.

tracing: Add function-trace option to disable function tracing of latency tracers Currently, the only way to stop the latency tracers from doing function tracing is to fully disable the function tracer from the proc file system: echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled This is a big hammer approach as it disables function tracing for all users. This includes kprobes, perf, stack tracer, etc. Instead, create a function-trace option that the latency tracers can check to determine if it should enable function tracing or not. This option can be set or cleared even while the tracer is active and the tracers will disable or enable function tracing depending on how the option was set.

tracing: Add trace_puts() for even faster trace_printk() tracing The trace_printk() is extremely fast and is very handy as it can be used in any context (including NMIs!). But it still requires scanning the fmt string for parsing the args. Even the trace_bprintk() requires a scan to know what args will be saved, although it doesn't copy the format string itself. Several times trace_printk() has no args, and wastes cpu cycles scanning the fmt string. Adding trace_puts() allows the developer to use an even faster tracing method that only saves the pointer to the string in the ring buffer without doing any format parsing at all. This will help remove even more of the "Heisenbug" effect, when debugging. Also fixed up the F_printk()s for the ftrace internal bprint and print events.

tracing: Add internal tracing_snapshot() functions The new snapshot feature is quite handy. It's a way for the user to take advantage of the spare buffer that, until then, only the latency tracers used to "snapshot" the buffer when it hit a max latency. Now users can trigger a "snapshot" manually when some condition is hit in a program. But a snapshot currently can not be triggered by a condition inside the kernel. With the addition of tracing_snapshot() and tracing_snapshot_alloc(), snapshots can now be taking when a condition is hit, and the developer wants to snapshot the case without stopping the trace. Note, any snapshot will overwrite the old one, so take care in how this is done. These new functions are to be used like tracing_on(), tracing_off() and trace_printk() are. That is, they should never be called in the mainline Linux kernel. They are solely for the purpose of debugging. The tracing_snapshot() will not allocate a buffer, but it is safe to be called from any context (except NMIs). But if a snapshot buffer isn't allocated when it is called, it will write to the live buffer, complaining about the lack of a snapshot buffer, and then stop tracing (giving you the "permanent snapshot"). tracing_snapshot_alloc() will allocate the snapshot buffer if it was not already allocated and then take the snapshot. This routine *may sleep*, and must be called from context that can sleep. The allocation is done with GFP_KERNEL and not atomic. If you need a snapshot in an atomic context, say in early boot, then it is best to call the tracing_snapshot_alloc() before then, where it will allocate the buffer, and then you can use the tracing_snapshot() anywhere you want and still get snapshots.

tracing: Consolidate max_tr into main trace_array structure Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max latency. The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat. This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred. The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

tracing: Add interface to allow multiple trace buffers Add the interface ("instances" directory) to add multiple buffers to ftrace. To create a new instance, simply do a mkdir in the instances directory: This will create a directory with the following: # cd instances # mkdir foo # ls foo buffer_size_kb free_buffer trace_clock trace_pipe buffer_total_size_kb set_event trace_marker tracing_enabled events/ trace trace_options tracing_on Currently only events are able to be set, and there isn't a way to delete a buffer when one is created (yet). Note, the i_mutex lock is dropped from the parent "instances" directory during the mkdir operation. As the "instances" directory can not be renamed or deleted (created on boot), I do not see any harm in dropping the lock. The creation of the sub directories is protected by trace_types_lock mutex, which only lets one instance get into the code path at a time. If two tasks try to create or delete directories of the same name, only one will occur and the other will fail with -EEXIST.

tracing: Fix race in snapshot swapping Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock. It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong temp buffer to assign in the swap. Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers. New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger. I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

tracing: Do not return EINVAL in snapshot when not allocated To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer now writes to what was the snapshot buffer. To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file. To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns -EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to do nothing and return success.

tracing: Init current_trace to nop_trace and remove NULL checks On early boot up, when the ftrace ring buffer is initialized, the static variable current_trace is initialized to &nop_trace. Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer. Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the paths to these locations would probably not be possible. By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared, current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be checked in the first place.

tracing: Fix race with max_tr and changing tracers There's a race condition between the setting of a new tracer and the update of the max trace buffers (the swap). When a new tracer is added, it sets current_trace to nop_trace before disabling the old tracer. At this moment, if the old tracer uses update_max_tr(), the update may trigger the warning against !current_trace->use_max-tr, as nop_trace doesn't have that set. As update_max_tr() requires that interrupts be disabled, we can add a check to see if current_trace == nop_trace and bail if it does. Then when disabling the current_trace, set it to nop_trace and run synchronize_sched(). This will make sure all calls to update_max_tr() have completed (it was called with interrupts disabled). As a clean up, this commit also removes shrinking and recreating the max_tr buffer if the old and new tracers both have use_max_tr set. The old way use to always shrink the buffer, and then expand it for the next tracer. This is a waste of time. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events Due to a userspace issue with PowerTop v2beta, which hardcoded the offset of event fields that it was using, it broke when we removed the Big Kernel Lock counter from the event header. (commit e6e1e2593 "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry") Because this broke userspace, it was determined that we must keep those 4 bytes around. (commit a3a4a5acd "Regression: partial revert "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry"") This unfortunately wastes space in the ring buffer. 4 bytes per event, where a lot of events are just 24 bytes. That's 16% of the buffer wasted. A million events will add 4 megs of white space into the buffer. It was later noticed that PowerTop v2beta could not work on systems where the kernel was 64 bit but the userspace was 32 bits. The reason was because the offsets are different between the two and the hard coded offset of one would not work with the other. With PowerTop v2 final, it implemented the same interface that both perf and trace-cmd use. That is, it reads the format file of the event to find the offsets of the fields it needs. This fixes the problem with running powertop on a 32 bit userspace running on a 64 bit kernel. It also no longer requires the 4 byte padding. As PowerTop v2 has been out for a while, and is included in all major distributions, it is time that we can safely remove the 4 bytes of padding. Users of PowerTop v2beta should upgrade to PowerTop v2 final.

tracing: Fix regression of trace_pipe Commit 0fb9656d "tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_on" changes the behaviour of trace_pipe, ie. it makes trace_pipe return if we've read something and tracing is enabled, and this means that we have to 'cat trace_pipe' again and again while running tests. IMO the right way is if tracing is enabled, we always block and wait for ring buffer, or we may lose what we want since ring buffer's size is limited.

tracing: Fix regression with irqsoff tracer and tracing_on file Commit 02404baf1b47 "tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file" removed the tracing_enabled file as it never worked properly and the tracing_on file should be used instead. But the tracing_on file didn't call into the tracers start/stop routines like the tracing_enabled file did. This caused trace-cmd to break when it enabled the irqsoff tracer. If you just did "echo irqsoff > current_tracer" then it would work properly. But the tool trace-cmd disables tracing first by writing "0" into the tracing_on file. Then it writes "irqsoff" into current_tracer and then writes "1" into tracing_on. Unfortunately, the above commit changed the irqsoff tracer to check the tracing_on status instead of the tracing_enabled status. If it's disabled then it does not start the tracer internals. The problem is that writing "1" into tracing_on does not call the tracers "start" routine like writing "1" into tracing_enabled did. This makes the irqsoff tracer not start when using the trace-cmd tool, and is a regression for userspace. Simple fix is to have the tracing_on file call the tracers start() method when being enabled (and the stop() method when disabled). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Fix regression of trace_options file setting The latest change to allow trace options to be set on the command line also broke the trace_options file. The zeroing of the last byte of the option name that is echoed into the trace_option file was removed with the consolidation of some of the code. The compare between the option and what was written to the trace_options file fails because the string holding the data written doesn't terminate with a null character. A zero needs to be added to the end of the string copied from user space. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Add a resize function to make one buffer equivalent to another buffer Trace buffer size is now per-cpu, so that there are the following two patterns in resizing of buffers. (1) resize per-cpu buffers to same given size (2) resize per-cpu buffers to another trace_array's buffer size for each CPU (such as preparing the max_tr which is equivalent to the global_trace's size) __tracing_resize_ring_buffer() can be used for (1), and had implemented (2) inside it for resetting the global_trace to the original size. (2) was also implemented in another place. So this patch assembles them in a new function - resize_buffer_duplicate_size().

tracing: Use irq_work for wake ups and remove *_nowake_*() functions Have the ring buffer commit function use the irq_work infrastructure to wake up any waiters waiting on the ring buffer for new data. The irq_work was created for such a purpose, where doing the actual wake up at the time of adding data is too dangerous, as an event or function trace may be in the midst of the work queue locks and cause deadlocks. The irq_work will either delay the action to the next timer interrupt, or trigger an IPI to itself forcing an interrupt to do the work (in a safe location). With irq_work, all ring buffer commits can safely do wakeups, removing the need for the ring buffer commit "nowake" variants, which were used by events and function tracing. All commits can now safely use the normal commit, and the "nowake" variants can be removed. Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Remove deprecated tracing_enabled file The tracing_enabled file was used as a quick way to stop tracers, and try to bring down overhead for things like the latency tracers (irqsoff, wakeup, etc). But it didn't work that well. The tracing_on file was created as a really fast way to stop recording into the ftrace ring buffer and can interact with the kernel. That is a tracing_off() call in the kernel can disable recording of events, and then from userspace one could echo 1 into the tracing_on file to continue it. The tracing_enabled function did too much to allow for this. The tracing_on has taken over as a way to start and stop tracing and the tracing_enabled file should not be used. But because of its existance, it still confuses people. Over a year ago the following commit was added: commit 6752ab4a9c30d5411b2dfdb251a3f1cb18aae487 Author: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Date: Tue Feb 8 13:54:06 2011 -0500 tracing: Deprecate tracing_enabled for tracing_on This commit added a WARN_ON() if the tracing_enabled file's variable was changed. After this was added, only LatencyTop complained, and they soon fixed their tool as there was no reason that LatencyTop should touch this file as it was using the perf ring buffers which this file does not interact with. But since that time no one else has complained about this WARN_ON(). Thus it is safe to assume that this file is no longer needed. Time to get rid of it.

tracing: Make tracing_enabled be equal to tracing_on The tracing_enabled file has been deprecated as it never was able to serve its purpose well. The tracing_on file has taken over. Instead of having code to keep tracing_enabled, have the tracing_enabled file just set tracing_on, and remove the tracing_enabled variable. This allows us to remove the tracing_enabled file. The reason that the remove is in a different change set and not removed here is in case we find some lonely userspace tool that requires the file to exist. Then the removal patch will get reverted, but this one will not.

tracing: Cache comms only after an event occurred Whenever an event is registered, the comm of tasks are saved at every task switch instead of saving them at every event. But if an event isn't executed much, the comm cache will be filled up by tasks that did not record the event and you lose out on the comms that did. Here's an example, if you enable the following events: echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/kvm/kvm_cr/enable echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable Note, there's no kvm running on this machine so the first event will never be triggered, but because it is enabled, the storing of comms will continue. If we now disable the network event: echo 0 > /debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_xmit/enable and look at the trace: cat /debug/tracing/trace sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.731616: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.731617: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.859356: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.859357: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 375.947351: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 375.947352: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 376.035383: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 376.035383: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=242 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 377.563806: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=226 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 377.563807: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6de0 len=226 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s2 377.563834: net_dev_xmit: dev=eth0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6be0 len=114 rc=0 sshd-2672 [001] ..s1 377.563842: net_dev_xmit: dev=br0 skbaddr=ffff88005cbb6be0 len=114 rc=0 We see that process 2672 which triggered the events has the comm "sshd".

tracing: Expand ring buffer when trace_printk() is used Since tracing is not used by 99% of Linux users, even though tracing may be configured in, it does not make sense to allocate 1.4 Megs per CPU for the ring buffers if they are not used. Thus, on boot up the ring buffers are set to a minimal size until something needs the and they are expanded. This works well for events and tracers (function, etc), but for the asynchronous use of trace_printk() which can write to the ring buffer at any time, does not expand the buffers. On boot up a check is made to see if any trace_printk() is used to see if the trace_printk() temp buffer pages should be allocated. This same code can be used to expand the buffers as well.

ftrace: Allow stealing pages from pipe buffer Use generic steal operation on pipe buffer to allow stealing ring buffer's read page from pipe buffer. Note that this could reduce the performance of splice on the splice_write side operation without affinity setting. Since the ring buffer's read pages are allocated on the tracing-node, but the splice user does not always execute splice write side operation on the same node. In this case, the page will be accessed from the another node. Thus, it is strongly recommended to assign the splicing thread to corresponding node.

tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from trace_iterator Replace the NR_CPUS array of buffer_iter from the trace_iterator with an allocated array. This will just create an array of possible CPUS instead of the max number specified. The use of NR_CPUS in that array caused allocation failures for machines that were tight on memory. This did not cause any failures to the system itself (no crashes), but caused unnecessary failures for reading the trace files. Added a helper function called 'trace_buffer_iter()' that returns the buffer_iter item or NULL if it is not defined or the array was not allocated. Some routines do not require the array (tracing_open_pipe() for one). Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Problem is some paths don't hold pipe mutex and assume pipe->buffers doesn't change for their duration.

tracing: Have tracing_off() actually turn tracing off A recent update to have tracing_on/off() only affect the ftrace ring buffers instead of all ring buffers had a cut and paste error. The tracing_off() did the exact same thing as tracing_on() and would not actually turn off tracing. Unfortunately, tracing_off() is more important to be working than tracing_on() as this is a key development tool, as it lets the developer turn off tracing as soon as a problem is discovered. It is also used by panic and oops code. This bug also breaks the 'echo func:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter' Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.4 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: Make removal of ring buffer pages atomic This patch adds the capability to remove pages from a ring buffer without destroying any existing data in it. This is done by removing the pages after the tail page. This makes sure that first all the empty pages in the ring buffer are removed. If the head page is one in the list of pages to be removed, then the page after the removed ones is made the head page. This removes the oldest data from the ring buffer and keeps the latest data around to be read. To do this in a non-racey manner, tracing is stopped for a very short time while the pages to be removed are identified and unlinked from the ring buffer. The pages are freed after the tracing is restarted to minimize the time needed to stop tracing. The context in which the pages from the per-cpu ring buffer are removed runs on the respective CPU. This minimizes the events not traced to only NMI trace contexts.

tracing: Clean up tracing_mark_write() On gcc 4.5 the function tracing_mark_write() would give a warning of page2 being uninitialized. This is due to a bug in gcc because the logic prevents page2 from being used uninitialized, and gcc 4.6+ does not complain (correctly). Instead of adding a "unitialized" around page2, which could show a bug later on, I combined page1 and page2 into an array map_pages[]. This binds the two and the two are modified according to nr_pages (what gcc 4.5 seems to ignore). This no longer gives a warning with gcc 4.5 nor with gcc 4.6.

ring-buffer: Add per_cpu ring buffer control files Add a debugfs entry under per_cpu/ folder for each cpu called buffer_size_kb to control the ring buffer size for each CPU independently. If the global file buffer_size_kb is used to set size, the individual ring buffers will be adjusted to the given size. The buffer_size_kb will report the common size to maintain backward compatibility. If the buffer_size_kb file under the per_cpu/ directory is used to change buffer size for a specific CPU, only the size of the respective ring buffer is updated. When tracing/buffer_size_kb is read, it reports 'X' to indicate that sizes of per_cpu ring buffers are not equivalent.

tracing: Add percpu buffers for trace_printk() Currently, trace_printk() uses a single buffer to write into to calculate the size and format needed to save the trace. To do this safely in an SMP environment, a spin_lock() is taken to only allow one writer at a time to the buffer. But this could also affect what is being traced, and add synchronization that would not be there otherwise. Ideally, using percpu buffers would be useful, but since trace_printk() is only used in development, having per cpu buffers for something never used is a waste of space. Thus, the use of the trace_bprintk() format section is changed to be used for static fmts as well as dynamic ones. Then at boot up, we can check if the section that holds the trace_printk formats is non-empty, and if it does contain something, then we know a trace_printk() has been added to the kernel. At this time the trace_printk per cpu buffers are allocated. A check is also done at module load time in case a module is added that contains a trace_printk(). Once the buffers are allocated, they are never freed. If you use a trace_printk() then you should know what you are doing. A buffer is made for each type of context: normal softirq irq nmi The context is checked and the appropriate buffer is used. This allows for totally lockless usage of trace_printk(), and they no longer even disable interrupts.

tracing: Fix regression with tracing_on The change to make tracing_on affect only the ftrace ring buffer, caused a bug where it wont affect any ring buffer. The problem was that the buffer of the trace_array was passed to the write function and not the trace array itself. The trace_array can change the buffer when running a latency tracer. If this happens, then the buffer being disabled may not be the buffer currently used by ftrace. This will cause the tracing_on file to become useless. The simple fix is to pass the trace_array to the write function instead of the buffer. Then the actual buffer may be changed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Fix ent_size in trace output When reading the trace file, the records of each of the per_cpu buffers are examined to find the next event to print out. At the point of looking at the event, the size of the event is recorded. But if the first event is chosen, the other events in the other CPU buffers will reset the event size that is stored in the iterator descriptor, causing the event size passed to the output functions to be incorrect. In most cases this is not a problem, but for the case of stack traces, it is. With the change to the stack tracing to record a dynamic number of back traces, the output depends on the size of the entry instead of the fixed 8 back traces. When the entry size is not correct, the back traces would not be fully printed. Note, reading from the per-cpu trace files were not affected.

tracing: Add irq, preempt-count and need resched info to default trace output People keep asking how to get the preempt count, irq, and need resched info and we keep telling them to enable the latency format. Some developers think that traces without this info is completely useless, and for a lot of tasks it is useless. The first option was to enable the latency trace as the default format, but the header for the latency format is pretty useless for most tracers and it also does the timestamp in straight microseconds from the time the trace started. This is sometimes more difficult to read as the default trace is seconds from the start of boot up.

tracing: Fix returning of duplicate data after EOF in trace_pipe_raw The trace_pipe_raw handler holds a cached page from the time the file is opened to the time it is closed. The cached page is used to handle the case of the user space buffer being smaller than what was read from the ring buffer. The left over buffer is held in the cache so that the next read will continue where the data left off. After EOF is returned (no more data in the buffer), the index of the cached page is set to zero. If a user app reads the page again after EOF, the check in the buffer will see that the cached page is less than page size and will return the cached page again. This will cause reading the trace_pipe_raw again after EOF to return duplicate data, making the output look like the time went backwards but instead data is just repeated. The fix is to not reset the index right after all data is read from the cache, but to reset it after all data is read and more data exists in the ring buffer.

tracing: Do not allocate buffer for trace_marker When doing intense tracing, the kmalloc inside trace_marker can introduce side effects to what is being traced. As trace_marker() is used by userspace to inject data into the kernel ring buffer, it needs to do so with the least amount of intrusion to the operations of the kernel or the user space application. As the ring buffer is designed to write directly into the buffer without the need to make a temporary buffer, and userspace already went through the hassle of knowing how big the write will be, we can simply pin the userspace pages and write the data directly into the buffer. This improves the impact of tracing via trace_marker tremendously! Thanks to Peter Zijlstra and Thomas Gleixner for pointing out the use of get_user_pages_fast() and kmap_atomic().

tracing: Warn on output if the function tracer was found corrupted As the function tracer is very intrusive, lots of self checks are performed on the tracer and if something is found to be strange it will shut itself down keeping it from corrupting the rest of the kernel. This shutdown may still allow functions to be traced, as the tracing only stops new modifications from happening. Trying to stop the function tracer itself can cause more harm as it requires code modification. Although a WARN_ON() is executed, a user may not notice it. To help the user see that something isn't right with the tracing of the system a big warning is added to the output of the tracer that lets the user know that their data may be incomplete.

tracing: Add a counter clock for those that do not trust clocks When debugging tight race conditions, it can be helpful to have a synchronized tracing method. Although in most cases the global clock provides this functionality, if timings is not the issue, it is more comforting to know that the order of events really happened in a precise order. Instead of using a clock, add a "counter" that is simply an incrementing atomic 64bit counter that orders the events as they are perceived to happen. The trace_clock_counter() is added from the attempt by Peter Zijlstra trying to convert the trace_clock_global() to it. I took Peter's counter code and made trace_clock_counter() instead, and added it to the choice of clocks. Just echo counter > /debug/tracing/trace_clock to activate it.

trace: Add ring buffer stats to measure rate of events The stats file under per_cpu folder provides the number of entries, overruns and other statistics about the CPU ring buffer. However, the numbers do not provide any indication of how full the ring buffer is in bytes compared to the overall size in bytes. Also, it is helpful to know the rate at which the cpu buffer is filling up. This patch adds an entry "bytes: " in printed stats for per_cpu ring buffer which provides the actual bytes consumed in the ring buffer. This field includes the number of bytes used by recorded events and the padding bytes added when moving the tail pointer to next page. It also adds the following time stamps: "oldest event ts:" - the oldest timestamp in the ring buffer "now ts:" - the timestamp at the time of reading The field "now ts" provides a consistent time snapshot to the userspace when being read. This is read from the same trace clock used by tracing event timestamps. Together, these values provide the rate at which the buffer is filling up, from the formula: bytes / (now_ts - oldest_event_ts) Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Cc: David Sharp <dhsharp@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1313531179-9323-3-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Have dynamic size event stack traces Currently the stack trace per event in ftace is only 8 frames. This can be quite limiting and sometimes useless. Especially when the "ignore frames" is wrong and we also use up stack frames for the event processing itself. Change this to be dynamic by adding a percpu buffer that we can write a large stack frame into and then copy into the ring buffer. For interrupts and NMIs that come in while another event is being process, will only get to use the 8 frame stack. That should be enough as the task that it interrupted will have the full stack frame anyway. Requested-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing/kprobes: Fix kprobe-tracer to support stack trace Fix to support kernel stack trace correctly on kprobe-tracer. Since the execution path of kprobe-based dynamic events is different from other tracepoint-based events, normal ftrace_trace_stack() doesn't work correctly. To fix that, this introduces ftrace_trace_stack_regs() which traces stack via pt_regs instead of current stack register. e.g. # echo p schedule+4 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable # head -n 20 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace bash-2968 [000] 10297.050245: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) bash-2968 [000] 10297.050247: <stack trace> => schedule_timeout => n_tty_read => tty_read => vfs_read => sys_read => system_call_fastpath kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050265: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050266: <stack trace> => worker_thread => kthread => kernel_thread_helper sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: <stack trace> => sysret_careful Note: Even with this fix, the first entry will be skipped if the probe is put on the function entry area before the frame pointer is set up (usually, that is 4 bytes (push %bp; mov %sp %bp) on x86), because stack unwinder depends on the frame pointer.

tracing: Add a proc file to stop tracing and free buffer The proc file entry buffer_size_kb is used to set the size of tracing buffer. The memory to expand the buffer size is kernel memory. Consider a use case where tracing is handled by a user space utility, which acts as a gate keeper for tracing requests. In an OOM condition, tracing is considered a low priority task and if the utility gets killed the ring buffer memory cannot be released back to the kernel. This patch adds a proc file called "free_buffer" whose purpose is to stop tracing and free up the ring buffer when it is closed. The user space process can then set the desired size in buffer_size_kb file and open the fd to the "free_buffer" file. Under OOM condition, if the process gets killed, the kernel closes the file descriptor. The release handler stops the tracing and releases the kernel memory automatically.

tracing: Use NUMA allocation for per-cpu ring buffer pages The tracing ring buffer is a group of per-cpu ring buffers where allocation and logging is done on a per-cpu basis. The events that are generated on a particular CPU are logged in the corresponding buffer. This is to provide wait-free writes between CPUs and good NUMA node locality while accessing the ring buffer. However, the allocation routines consider NUMA locality only for buffer page metadata and not for the actual buffer page. This causes the pages to be allocated on the NUMA node local to the CPU where the allocation routine is running at the time. This patch fixes the problem by using a NUMA node specific allocation routine so that the pages are allocated from a NUMA node local to the logging CPU. I tested with the getuid_microbench from autotest. It is a simple binary that calls getuid() in a loop and measures the average time for the syscall to complete. The following command was used to test: $ getuid_microbench 1000000 Compared the numbers found on kernel with and without this patch and found that logging latency decreases by 30-50 ns/call. tracing with non-NUMA allocation - 569 ns/call tracing with NUMA allocation - 512 ns/call Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Cc: David Sharp <dhsharp@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1304470602-20366-1-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Schedule a delayed work to call wakeup() In using syscall tracing by concurrent processes, the wakeup() that is called in the event commit function causes contention on the spin lock of the waitqueue. I enabled sys_enter_getuid and sys_exit_getuid tracepoints, and by running getuid_microbench from autotest in parallel I found that the contention causes exponential latency increase in the tracing path. The autotest binary getuid_microbench calls getuid() in a tight loop for the given number of iterations and measures the average time required to complete a single invocation of syscall. The patch schedules a delayed work after 2 ms once an event commit calls to wake up the trace wait_queue. This removes the delay caused by contention on spin lock in wakeup() and amortizes the wakeup() calls scheduled over the 2 ms period. In the following example, the script enables the sys_enter_getuid and sys_exit_getuid tracepoints and runs the getuid_microbench in parallel with the given number of processes. The output clearly shows the latency increase caused by contentions. $ ~/getuid.sh 1 1000000 calls in 0.720974253 s (720.974253 ns/call) $ ~/getuid.sh 2 1000000 calls in 1.166457554 s (1166.457554 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 1.168933765 s (1168.933765 ns/call) $ ~/getuid.sh 3 1000000 calls in 1.783827516 s (1783.827516 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 1.795553270 s (1795.553270 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 1.796493376 s (1796.493376 ns/call) $ ~/getuid.sh 4 1000000 calls in 4.483041796 s (4483.041796 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 4.484165388 s (4484.165388 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 4.484850762 s (4484.850762 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 4.485643576 s (4485.643576 ns/call) $ ~/getuid.sh 5 1000000 calls in 6.497521653 s (6497.521653 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 6.502000236 s (6502.000236 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 6.501709115 s (6501.709115 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 6.502124100 s (6502.124100 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 6.502936358 s (6502.936358 ns/call) After the patch, the latencies scale better. 1000000 calls in 0.728720455 s (728.720455 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.842782857 s (842.782857 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.883803135 s (883.803135 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.902077764 s (902.077764 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.902838202 s (902.838202 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.908896885 s (908.896885 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.932523515 s (932.523515 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.958009672 s (958.009672 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.986188020 s (986.188020 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.989771102 s (989.771102 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.933518391 s (933.518391 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 0.958897947 s (958.897947 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 1.031038897 s (1031.038897 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 1.089516025 s (1089.516025 ns/call) 1000000 calls in 1.141998347 s (1141.998347 ns/call) Signed-off-by: Vaibhav Nagarnaik <vnagarnaik@google.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Cc: David Sharp <dhsharp@google.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1305059241-7629-1-git-send-email-vnagarnaik@google.com Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Avoid soft lockup in trace_pipe running following commands: # enable the binary option echo 1 > ./options/bin # disable context info option echo 0 > ./options/context-info # tracing only events echo 1 > ./events/enable cat trace_pipe plus forcing system to generate many tracing events, is causing lockup (in NON preemptive kernels) inside tracing_read_pipe function. The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test. (ftrace_stress_test.sh) The reasons are: - bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to trace_nop_print function, which prints nothing and returns TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED value - LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe function never to break. The attached patch fixies handling of lost event trace, and changes trace_nop_print to print minimal info, which is needed for the correct tracing_read_pipe processing. v2 changes: - omit the cond_resched changes by trace_nop_print changes - WARN changed to WARN_ONCE and added info to be able to find out the culprit v3 changes: - make more accurate patch comment Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> LKML-Reference: <20110325110518.GC1922@jolsa.brq.redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

What happens is the "ftrace=..." will expand the ring buffer to its default size (from its minimum size) but it will not expand the max ring buffer (the ring buffer to store maximum latencies). When the irqsoff test runs, it will call the ring buffer swap routine that checks if the max ring buffer is the same size as the normal ring buffer, and will fail if it is not. This causes the test to fail. The solution is to expand the max ring buffer before running the self test if the max ring buffer is used by that tracer and the normal ring buffer is expanded. The max ring buffer should be shrunk again after the test is done to save space. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry The lock_depth field in the event headers was added as a temporary data point for help in removing the BKL. Now that the BKL is pretty much been removed, we can remove this field. This in turn changes the header from 12 bytes to 8 bytes, removing the 4 byte buffer that gcc would insert if the first field in the data load was 8 bytes in size.

However, if the file was opened for writing only, seq_open() was not called, and the seek would dereference a null pointer, file->private_data.

tracing: Shrink max latency ringbuffer if unnecessary Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt says buffer_size_kb: This sets or displays the number of kilobytes each CPU buffer can hold. The tracer buffers are the same size for each CPU. The displayed number is the size of the CPU buffer and not total size of all buffers. The trace buffers are allocated in pages (blocks of memory that the kernel uses for allocation, usually 4 KB in size). If the last page allocated has room for more bytes than requested, the rest of the page will be used, making the actual allocation bigger than requested. ( Note, the size may not be a multiple of the page size due to buffer management overhead. ) This can only be updated when the current_tracer is set to "nop". But it's incorrect. currently total memory consumption is 'buffer_size_kb x CPUs x 2'. Why two times difference is there? because ftrace implicitly allocate the buffer for max latency too. That makes sad result when admin want to use large buffer. (If admin want full logging and makes detail analysis). example, If admin have 24 CPUs machine and write 200MB to buffer_size_kb, the system consume ~10GB memory (200MB x 24 x 2). umm.. 5GB memory waste is usually unacceptable. Fortunatelly, almost all users don't use max latency feature. The max latency buffer can be disabled easily. This patch shrink buffer size of the max latency buffer if unnecessary.

tracing: Remove ftrace_preempt_disable/enable The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable functions were to address a recursive race caused by the function tracer. The function tracer traces all functions which makes it easily susceptible to recursion. One area was preempt_enable(). This would call the scheduler and the schedulre would call the function tracer and loop. (So was it thought). The ftrace_preempt_disable/enable was made to protect against recursion inside the scheduler by storing the NEED_RESCHED flag. If it was set before the ftrace_preempt_disable() it would not call schedule on ftrace_preempt_enable(), thinking that if it was set before then it would have already scheduled unless it was already in the scheduler. This worked fine except in the case of SMP, where another task would set the NEED_RESCHED flag for a task on another CPU, and then kick off an IPI to trigger it. This could cause the NEED_RESCHED to be saved at ftrace_preempt_disable() but the IPI to arrive in the the preempt disabled section. The ftrace_preempt_enable() would not call the scheduler because the flag was already set before entring the section. This bug would cause a missed preemption check and cause lower latencies. Investigating further, I found that the recusion caused by the function tracer was not due to schedule(), but due to preempt_schedule(). Now that preempt_schedule is completely annotated with notrace, the recusion no longer is an issue.

ring-buffer: Move zeroing out excess in page to ring buffer code Currently the trace splice code zeros out the excess bytes in the page before sending it off to userspace. This is to make sure userspace is not getting anything it should not be when reading the pages, because the excess data was never initialized to zero before writing (for perfomance reasons). But the splice code has no business in doing this work, it should be done by the ring buffer. With the latest changes for recording lost events, the splice code gets it wrong anyway. Move the zeroing out of excess bytes into the ring buffer code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

ring-buffer: Make non-consuming read less expensive with lots of cpus. When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing. This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus. Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we transform the existing sequence: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(), into the following: for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_prepare(); } ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync(); for_each_cpu() { ring_buffer_read_start(); } wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to do the synchronize_sched(). The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter' memory and increments ->record_disabled. In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this ->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus. And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more. This makes openning the 'trace' file nearly instantaneous on a sparc64 Niagara2 box with 128 cpus tracing. Signed-off-by: David S.

tracing: Dump either the oops's cpu source or all cpus buffers The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens. It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many, plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces. Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the opps, most of the time it is our main interest. This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice. The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed. Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous behaviour.

ring-buffer: Add place holder recording of dropped events Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any place holder where the event was dropped. This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data. In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped events. But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the placeholder. Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer, it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader and returned to callers of the reader. Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap, if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been updated since the setup before the swap. For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27 bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually). We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered important enough. Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not keep this information because the necessary data is only available when a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

tracing: Do not record user stack trace from NMI context A bug was found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test that caused applications to segfault during the test. Placing a tracing_off() in the segfault code, and examining several traces, I found that the following was always the case. The lock tracer was enabled (lockdep being required) and userstack was enabled. Testing this out, I just enabled the two, but that was not good enough. I needed to run something else that could trigger it. Running a load like hackbench did not work, but executing a new program would. The following would trigger the segfault within seconds: # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/options/userstacktrace # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/lock/enable # while :; do ls > /dev/null ; done Enabling the function graph tracer and looking at what was happening I finally noticed that all cashes happened just after an NMI. 1) | copy_user_handle_tail() { 1) | bad_area_nosemaphore() { 1) | __bad_area_nosemaphore() { 1) | no_context() { 1) | fixup_exception() { 1) 0.319 us | search_exception_tables(); 1) 0.873 us | } [...] 1) 0.314 us | __rcu_read_unlock(); 1) 0.325 us | native_apic_mem_write(); 1) 0.943 us | } 1) 0.304 us | rcu_nmi_exit(); [...] 1) 0.479 us | find_vma(); 1) | bad_area() { 1) | __bad_area() { After capturing several traces of failures, all of them happened after an NMI. Curious about this, I added a trace_printk() to the NMI handler to read the regs->ip to see where the NMI happened. In which I found out it was here: ffffffff8135b660 <page_fault>: ffffffff8135b660: 48 83 ec 78 sub $0x78,%rsp ffffffff8135b664: e8 97 01 00 00 callq ffffffff8135b800 <error_entry> What was happening is that the NMI would happen at the place that a page fault occurred. It would call rcu_read_lock() which was traced by the lock events, and the user_stack_trace would run. This would trigger a page fault inside the NMI. I do not see where the CR2 register is saved or restored in NMI handling. This means that it would corrupt the page fault handling that the NMI interrupted. The reason the while loop of ls helped trigger the bug, was that each execution of ls would cause lots of pages to be faulted in, and increase the chances of the race happening. The simple solution is to not allow user stack traces in NMI context. After this patch, I ran the above "ls" test for a couple of hours without any issues. Without this patch, the bug would trigger in less than a minute. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing: Disable buffer switching when starting or stopping trace When the trace iterator is read, tracing_start() and tracing_stop() is called to stop tracing while the iterator is processing the trace output. These functions disable both the standard buffer and the max latency buffer. But if the wakeup tracer is running, it can switch these buffers between the two disables: buffer = global_trace.buffer; if (buffer) ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); <<<--------- swap happens here buffer = max_tr.buffer; if (buffer) ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); What happens is that we disabled the same buffer twice. On tracing_start() we can enable the same buffer twice. All ring_buffer_record_disable() must be matched with a ring_buffer_record_enable() or the buffer can be disable permanently, or enable prematurely, and cause a bug where a reset happens while a trace is commiting. This patch protects these two by taking the ftrace_max_lock to prevent a switch from occurring. Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.

tracing: Use same local variable when resetting the ring buffer In the ftrace code that resets the ring buffer it references the buffer with a local variable, but then uses the tr->buffer as the parameter to reset. If the wakeup tracer is running, which can switch the tr->buffer with the max saved buffer, this can break the requirement of disabling the buffer before the reset. buffer = tr->buffer; ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer); synchronize_sched(); __tracing_reset(tr->buffer, cpu); If the tr->buffer is swapped, then the reset is not happening to the buffer that was disabled. This will cause the ring buffer to fail. Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.

function-graph: Add tracing_thresh support to function_graph tracer Add support for tracing_thresh to the function_graph tracer. This version of this feature isolates the checks into new entry and return functions, to avoid adding more conditional code into the main function_graph paths. When the tracing_thresh is set and the function graph tracer is enabled, only the functions that took longer than the time in microseconds that was set in tracing_thresh are recorded. To do this efficiently, only the function exits are recorded: [tracing]# echo 100 > tracing_thresh [tracing]# echo function_graph > current_tracer [tracing]# cat trace # tracer: function_graph # # CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | | | | 1) ! 119.214 us | } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */ 1) <========== | 0) ! 101.527 us | } /* __rcu_process_callbacks */ 0) ! 126.461 us | } /* rcu_process_callbacks */ 0) ! 145.111 us | } /* __do_softirq */ 0) ! 149.667 us | } /* do_softirq */ 0) ! 168.817 us | } /* irq_exit */ 0) ! 248.254 us | } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */ Also, add support for specifying tracing_thresh on the kernel command line. When used like so: "tracing_thresh=200 ftrace=function_graph" this can be used to analyse system startup. It is important to disable tracing soon after boot, in order to avoid losing the trace data.

tracing: Consolidate protection of reader access to the ring buffer At the beginning, access to the ring buffer was fully serialized by trace_types_lock. Patch d7350c3f4569 gives more freedom to readers, and patch b04cc6b1f6 adds code to protect trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe. But actually it is not enough, ring buffer readers are not always read-only, they may consume data. This patch makes accesses to trace, trace_pipe, trace_pipe_raw cpu#/trace, cpu#/trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe_raw serialized. And removes tracing_reader_cpumask which is used to protect trace_pipe. Details: Ring buffer serializes readers, but it is low level protection. The validity of the events (which returns by ring_buffer_peek() ..etc) are not protected by ring buffer. The content of events may become garbage if we allow another process to consume these events concurrently: A) the page of the consumed events may become a normal page (not reader page) in ring buffer, and this page will be rewritten by the events producer. B) The page of the consumed events may become a page for splice_read, and this page will be returned to system. This patch adds trace_access_lock() and trace_access_unlock() primitives. These primitives allow multi process access to different cpu ring buffers concurrently. These primitives don't distinguish read-only and read-consume access. Multi read-only access is also serialized. And we don't use these primitives when we open files, we only use them when we read files.

tracing: Add trace_dump_stack() I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling that function and entering a specific if conditional. I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for this purpose a few times, and just needed it now.

tracing: Remove comparing of NULL to va_list in trace_array_vprintk() Olof Johansson stated the following: Comparing a va_list with NULL is bogus. It's supposed to be treated like an opaque type and only be manipulated with va_* accessors. Olof noticed that this code broke the ARM builds: kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'trace_array_vprintk': kernel/trace/trace.c:1364: error: invalid operands to binary == (have 'va_list' and 'void *') kernel/trace/trace.c: In function 'tracing_mark_write': kernel/trace/trace.c:3349: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'trace_vprintk' This patch partly reverts c13d2f7c3231e873f30db92b96c8caa48f100f33 and re-installs the original mark_printk() mechanism.

tracing: Buffer the output of seq_file in case of filled buffer If the seq_read fills the buffer it will call s_start again on the next itertation with the same position. This causes a problem with the function_graph tracer because it consumes the iteration in order to determine leaf functions. What happens is that the iterator stores the entry, and the function graph plugin will look at the next entry. If that next entry is a return of the same function and task, then the function is a leaf and the function_graph plugin calls ring_buffer_read which moves the ring buffer iterator forward (the trace iterator still points to the function start entry). The copying of the trace_seq to the seq_file buffer will fail if the seq_file buffer is full. The seq_read will not show this entry. The next read by userspace will cause seq_read to again call s_start which will reuse the trace iterator entry (the function start entry). But the function return entry was already consumed. The function graph plugin will think that this entry is a nested function and not a leaf. To solve this, the trace code now checks the return status of the seq_printf (trace_print_seq). If the writing to the seq_file buffer fails, we set a flag in the iterator (leftover) and we do not reset the trace_seq buffer. On the next call to s_start, we check the leftover flag, and if it is set, we just reuse the trace_seq buffer and do not call into the plugin print functions.

tracing: use timestamp to determine start of latency traces Currently the latency tracers reset the ring buffer. Unfortunately if a commit is in process (due to a trace event), this can corrupt the ring buffer. When this happens, the ring buffer will detect the corruption and then permanently disable the ring buffer. The bug does not crash the system, but it does prevent further tracing after the bug is hit. Instead of reseting the trace buffers, the timestamp of the start of the trace is used instead. The buffers will still contain the previous data, but the output will not count any data that is before the timestamp of the trace. Note, this only affects the static trace output (trace) and not the runtime trace output (trace_pipe). The runtime trace output does not make sense for the latency tracers anyway.

Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf record: perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution perf report -D 0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 72 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 01 00 48 00 d0 c7 00 81 ff ff ff ff ......H........ . 0010: 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!...... . 0020: 2b 00 01 02 0a 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 65 76 65 6e +...........eve . 0030: 74 73 2f 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 ts/1........... . 0040: e0 b1 31 81 ff ff ff ff ....... . 0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33 The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.

For that we need to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute. This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event. - Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.

tracing: Fix missing function_graph events when we splice_read from trace_pipe About a half events are missing when we splice_read from trace_pipe.

ring-buffer: make lockless This patch converts the ring buffers into a completely lockless buffer recording system. The read side still takes locks since we still serialize readers. But the writers are the ones that must be lockless (those can happen in NMIs). The main change is to the "head_page" pointer. We write to the tail, and read from the head. The "head_page" pointer in the cpu buffer is now just a reference to where to look. The real head page is now kept in the head_page->list->prev->next pointer. That is, in the list head of the previous page we set flags. The list pages are allocated to be aligned such that the lowest significant bits are always zero pointing to the list. This gives us play to put in flags to their pointers. bit 0: set when the page is a head page bit 1: set when the writer is moving the page (for overwrite mode) cmpxchg is used to update the pointer. When the writer wraps the buffer and the tail meets the head, in overwrite mode, the writer must move the head page forward. It first uses cmpxchg to change the pointer flag from 1 to 2. Once this is done, the reader on another CPU will not take the page from the buffer. The writers need to protect against interrupts (we don't bother with disabling interrupts because NMIs are allowed to write too). After the writer sets the pointer flag to 2, it takes care to manage interrupts coming in. This is discribed in detail within the comments of the code. Changes in version 2: - Let reader reset entries value of header page. - Fix tail page passing commit page on reader page test. - Always increment entries and write counter in rb_tail_page_update - Add safety check in rb_set_commit_to_write to break out of infinite loop - add mask in rb_is_reader_page [ Impact: lock free writing to the ring buffer ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: add trace_event_read_lock() I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction through ftrace_find_event(). This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race window between any event dereferencing and module removal. Eg: --Task A-- print_trace_line(trace) { event = find_ftrace_event(trace) --Task B-- trace_module_remove_events(mod) { list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) { unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) { hlist_del(ev->event->node) list_del(....) } } } |--> module removed, the event has been dropped --Task A-- event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data from a freed module. RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code. So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore, and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().

tracing: reset ring buffer when removing modules with events Li Zefan found that there's a race using the event ids of events and modules. When a module is loaded, an event id is incremented. We only have 16 bits for event ids (65536) and there is a possible (but highly unlikely) race that we could load and unload a module that registers events so many times that the event id counter overflows. When it overflows, it then restarts and goes looking for available ids. An id is available if it was added by a module and released. The race is if you have one module add an id, and then is removed. Another module loaded can use that same event id. But if the old module still had events in the ring buffer, the new module's call back would get bogus data. At best (and most likely) the output would just be garbage. But if the module for some reason used pointers (not recommended) then this could potentially crash. The safest thing to do is just reset the ring buffer if a module that registered events is removed.

tracing: have splice only copy full pages Splice works with pages, it is much more effecient to use an entire page than to copy bits over several pages. Using logdev to trace the internals of the splice mechanism, I was able to see that splice can be very aggressive. When tracing is occurring, and the reader caught up to the writer, and the writer is on the reader page, the reader will copy what is there into the splice page. Splice may iterate over several pages and if the writer is still writing to the page, the reader will keep copying bits to new pages to pass to userspace. This patch changes it to only pass data to userspace if the page is full (the writer has left the page). This has a small side effect that splice can not read a partial page, and must wait for the page to fill. This should not be an issue. If tracing has stopped, then a use of "read" will still read all of the page. [ Impact: better performance for ring buffer splice code ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

tracing/filters: add run-time field descriptions to TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT events This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT. It also hooks up all the tracers that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism. When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were - I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file bug reports. ;-) One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output from the events without filters on them can make it look like the filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing. The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g. cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file. If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before they disappear.

tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix functions call traces imbalance Impact: fix traces output Sometimes one can observe an imbalance in the traces between function calls and function return traces: func1() { } } The curly brace inside func1() is the return of another function nested inside func1. The return trace have been inserted in the buffer but not the entry. We are storing a return address on the function traces stack while we haven't inserted its entry on the buffer, hence the imbalance on the traces. This is because the tracers doesn't check all failures that can happen on buffer insertion. This patch reports the tracing recursion failures and the ring buffer failures. In such cases, we now restore the original return address for the function, giving up its return trace.

tracing/ftrace: check if debugfs is registered before creating files Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers, they will attempt to create their option directory and files. But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned as "boot tracers" very early if asked to. Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall), a crash is triggered. Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root tracing directory.

tracing/function-graph-tracer: prevent hangs during self-tests Impact: detect tracing related hangs Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless loop of timer interrupts servicing. As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely disabling this tracer. For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump the traces after this hang detection.

The check for tracing_is_on() is not sufficient here as the ringbuffer status is not affected by setting debug/tracing/tracing_enabled to 0. On a non idle system this can result in the loss of the command line information for the stopped trace, which makes the trace harder to read and analyse.

tracing/core: bring back raw trace_printk for dynamic formats strings Impact: fix callsites with dynamic format strings Since its new binary implementation, trace_printk() internally uses static containers for the format strings on each callsites. But the value is assigned once at build time, which means that it can't take dynamic formats. So this patch unearthes the raw trace_printk implementation for the callers that will need trace_printk to be able to carry these dynamic format strings. The trace_printk() macro will use the appropriate implementation for each callsite. Most of the time however, the binary implementation will still be used. The other impact of this patch is that mmiotrace_printk() will use the old implementation because it calls the low level trace_vprintk and we can't guess here whether the format passed in it is dynamic or not. Some parts of this patch have been written by Steven Rostedt (most notably the part that chooses the appropriate implementation for each callsites).

ring-buffer: only allocate buffers for online cpus Impact: save on memory Currently, a ring buffer was allocated for each "possible_cpus". On some systems, this is the same as NR_CPUS. Thus, if a system defined NR_CPUS = 64 but it only had 1 CPU, we could have possibly 63 useless ring buffers taking up space. With a default buffer of 3 megs, this could be quite drastic. This patch changes the ring buffer code to only allocate ring buffers for online CPUs. If a CPU goes off line, we do not free the buffer. This is because the user may still have trace data in that buffer that they would like to look at. Perhaps in the future we could add code to delete a ring buffer if the CPU is offline and the ring buffer becomes empty. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: fix trace_wait to know to wait on all cpus or just one Impact: fix to task live locking on reading trace_pipe on one CPU The same code is used for both trace_pipe (all CPUS) and the per_cpu trace_pipe file. When there is no data to read, it will check for signals and wait on the trace wait queue. The problem happens with the per_cpu wait. The trace_wait code checks all CPUs. Thus, if there's data in another CPU buffer, then it will exit the wait, without checking for signals or waiting on the wait queue. It would then try to read the empty buffer, and since that will just return nothing, then it will try to wait again. Unfortunately, that will again fail due to there still being data in the other buffers. This ends up with a live lock for the task. This patch fixes the trace_wait to be aware that the iterator may only be waiting on a single buffer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: keep ring buffer to minimum size till used Impact: less memory impact on systems not using tracer When the kernel boots up that has tracing configured, it allocates the default size of the ring buffer. This currently happens to be 1.4Megs per possible CPU. This is quite a bit of wasted memory if the system is never using the tracer. The current solution is to keep the ring buffers to a minimum size until the user uses them. Once a tracer is piped into the current_tracer the ring buffer will be expanded to the default size. If the user changes the size of the ring buffer, it will take the size given by the user immediately. If the user adds a "ftrace=" to the kernel command line, then the ring buffers will be set to the default size on initialization. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of trace_bprintk() Impact: faster and lighter tracing Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(), which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries. Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc...

tracing: add binary buffer files for use with splice Impact: new feature This patch creates a directory of files that correspond to the per CPU ring buffers. These are binary files and are made to be used with splice. This is the fastest way to extract data from the ftrace ring buffers. Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for pushing me to get this code fixed, and to Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu for his splice code that helped me debug my code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: add interface to write into current tracer buffer Right now all tracers must manage their own trace buffers. This was to enforce tracers to be independent in case we finally decide to allow each tracer to have their own trace buffer. But now we are adding event tracing that writes to the current tracer's buffer. This adds an interface to allow events to write to the current tracer buffer without having to manage its own. Since event tracing has no "tracer", and is just a way to hook into any other tracer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing: use pointer error returns for __tracing_open Impact: fix compile warning and clean up When I first wrote __tracing_open, instead of passing the error code via the ERR_PTR macros, I lazily used a separate parameter to hold the return for errors. When Frederic Weisbecker updated that function, he used the Linux kernel ERR_PTR for the returns. This caused the parameter return to possibly not be initialized on error. gcc correctly pointed this out with a warning. This patch converts the entire function to use the Linux kernel ERR_PTR macro methods. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

tracing/core: make the read callbacks reentrants Now that several per-cpu files can be read or spliced at the same, we want the read/splice callbacks for tracing files to be reentrants. Until now, a single global mutex (trace_types_lock) serialized the access to tracing_read_pipe(), tracing_splice_read_pipe(), and the seq helpers. Ie: it means that if a user tries to read trace_pipe0 and trace_pipe1 at the same time, the access to the function tracing_read_pipe() is contended and one reader must wait for the other to finish its read call. The trace_type_lock mutex is mostly here to serialize the access to the global current tracer (current_trace), which can be changed concurrently. Although the iter struct keeps a private pointer to this tracer, its callbacks can be changed by another function. The method used here is to not keep anymore private reference to the tracer inside the iterator but to make a copy of it inside the iterator. Then it checks on subsequents read calls if the tracer has changed. This is not costly because the current tracer is not expected to be changed often, so we use a branch prediction for that. Moreover, we add a private mutex to the iterator (there is one iterator per file descriptor) to serialize the accesses in case of multiple consumers per file descriptor (which would be a silly idea from the user). Note that this is not to protect the ring buffer, since the ring buffer already serializes the readers accesses. This is to prevent from traces weirdness in case of concurrent consumers. But these mutexes can be dropped anyway, that would not result in any crash. Just tell me what you think about it.

tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files Impact: split up tracing output per cpu Currently, on the tracing debugfs directory, three files are available to the user to let him extracting the trace output: - trace is an iterator through the ring-buffer. It's a reader but not a consumer It doesn't block when no more traces are available. - trace pretty similar to the former, except that it adds more informations such as prempt count, irq flag, ... - trace_pipe is a reader and a consumer, it will also block waiting for traces if necessary (heh, yes it's a pipe). The traces coming from different cpus are curretly mixed up inside these files. Sometimes it messes up the informations, sometimes it's useful, depending on what does the tracer capture. The tracing_cpumask file is useful to filter the output and select only the traces captured a custom defined set of cpus. But still it is not enough powerful to extract at the same time one trace buffer per cpu. So this patch creates a new directory: /debug/tracing/per_cpu/. Inside this directory, you will now find one trace_pipe file and one trace file per cpu. Which means if you have two cpus, you will have: trace0 trace1 trace_pipe0 trace_pipe1 And of course, reading these files will have the same effect than with the usual tracing files, except that you will only see the traces from the given cpu. The original all-in-one cpu trace file are still available on their original place. Until now, only one consumer was allowed on trace_pipe to avoid racy consuming on the ring-buffer. Now the approach changed a bit, you can have only one consumer per cpu. Which means you are allowed to read concurrently trace_pipe0 and trace_pipe1 But you can't have two readers on trace_pipe0 or trace_pipe1. Following the same logic, if there is one reader on the common trace_pipe, you can not have at the same time another reader on trace_pipe0 or in trace_pipe1. Because in trace_pipe is already a consumer in all cpu buffers in essence.

tracing/core: use appropriate waiting on trace_pipe Impact: api and pipe waiting change Currently, the waiting used in tracing_read_pipe() is done through a 100 msecs schedule_timeout() loop which periodically check if there are traces on the buffer. This can cause small latencies for programs which are reading the incoming events. This patch makes the reader waiting for the trace_wait waitqueue except for few tracers such as the sched and functions tracers which might be already hold the runqueue lock while waking up the reader. This is performed through a new callback wait_pipe() on struct tracer. If none is implemented on a specific tracer, the default waiting for trace_wait queue is attached.

tracing/function-graph-tracer: handle the leaf functions from trace_pipe When one cats the trace file, the leaf functions are printed without brackets: function(); whereas in the trace_pipe file we'll see the following: function() { } This is because the ring_buffer handling is not the same between those two files. On the trace file, when an entry is printed, the iterator advanced and then we can check the next entry. There is no iterator with trace_pipe, the current entry to print has been peeked and not consumed. So checking the next entry will still return the current one while we don't consume it. This patch introduces a new value for the output callbacks to ask the tracing core to not consume the current entry after printing it. We need it because we will have to consume the current entry ourself to check the next one. Now the trace_pipe is able to handle well the leaf functions.

trace: remove deprecated entry->cpu Impact: fix to prevent developers from using entry->cpu With the new ring buffer infrastructure, the cpu for the entry is implicit with which CPU buffer it is on. The original code use to record the current cpu into the generic entry header, which can be retrieved by entry->cpu. When the ring buffer was introduced, the users were convert to use the the cpu number of which cpu ring buffer was in use (this was passed to the tracers by the iterator: iter->cpu). Unfortunately, the cpu item in the entry structure was never removed. This allowed for developers to use it instead of the proper iter->cpu, unknowingly, using an uninitialized variable. This was not the fault of the developers, since it would seem like the logical place to retrieve the cpu identifier. This patch removes the cpu item from the entry structure and fixes all the users that should have been using iter->cpu. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

trace: better manage the context info for events Impact: make trace_event more convenient for tracers All tracers (for the moment) that use the struct trace_event want to have the context info printed before their own output: the pid/cmdline, cpu, and timestamp. But some other tracers that want to implement their trace_event callbacks will not necessary need these information or they may want to format them as they want. This patch adds a new default-enabled trace option: TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO When disabled through: echo nocontext-info > /debugfs/tracing/trace_options The pid, cpu and timestamps headers will not be printed. IE with the sched_switch tracer with context-info (default): bash-2935 [001] 100.356561: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> <idle>-0 [000] 100.412804: 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 <idle>-0 [000] 100.412816: 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 events/0-11 [000] 100.412829: 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> Without context-info: 2935:120:S ==> [001] 0:140:R <idle> 0:140:R + [000] 11:115:S events/0 0:140:R ==> [000] 11:115:R events/0 11:115:S ==> [000] 0:140:R <idle> A tracer can disable it at runtime by clearing the bit TRACE_ITER_CONTEXT_INFO in trace_flags. The print routines were renamed to trace_print_context and trace_print_lat_context, so that they can be used by tracers if they want to use them for one of the trace_event callbacks.

tracing/ftrace: separate events tracing and stats tracing engine Impact: tracing's Api change Currently, the stat tracing depends on the events tracing. When you switch to a new tracer, the stats files of the previous tracer will disappear. But it's more scalable to separate those two engines. This way, we can keep the stat files of one or several tracers when we want, without bothering of multiple tracer stat files or tracer switching. To build/destroys its stats files, a tracer just have to call register_stat_tracer/unregister_stat_tracer everytimes it wants to.

tracing/ftrace: provide the base infrastructure for histogram tracing Impact: extend the tracing API The goal of this patch is to normalize and make more easy the implementation of statistical (histogram) tracing. It implements a trace_stat file into the /debugfs/tracing directory where one can print a one-shot output of statistics/histogram entries. A tracer has to provide two basic iterator callbacks: stat_start() => the first entry stat_next(prev, idx) => the next one. Note that it is adapted for arrays or hash tables or lists.... since it provides a pointer to the previous entry and the current index of the iterator. These two callbacks are called to get a snapshot of the statistics at each opening of the trace_stat file because. The values are so updated between two "cat trace_stat". And the tracer is free to lock its datas during the iteration to keep consistent values. Since it is almost always interesting to sort statisticals values to address the problems by priority, this infrastructure provides a "sorting" of the stat entries too if desired. A tracer has just to provide a stat_cmp callback to compare two entries and the stat tracing infrastructure will build a sorted list of the given entries. A last callback, called stat_headers, can be implemented by a tracer to output headers on its trace. If one of these callbacks is changed on runtime, it just have to signal it to the stat tracing API by calling the init_tracer_stat() helper. Changes in V2: - Fix a memory leak if the user opens multiple times the trace_stat file without closing it. Now we always free our list before rebuilding it.

Some events did not handle all the formats (trace, latency-trace, raw, hex, binary), and this method does not scale well. This patch converts the format functions to use the event API to find the event and and print its format. Currently, we have a print function for trace, latency_trace, raw, hex and binary. A trace_nop_print is available if the event wants to avoid output on a particular format. Perhaps other tracers could use this in the future (like mmiotrace and function_graph).

For example: # echo blk_unplug > /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debugfs/tracing/trace [...] ------------------------------------------ | 2) make-19003 => kjournald-2219 ------------------------------------------ 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) | dm_unplug_all() { 2) | dm_get_table() { 2) 1.381 us | _read_lock(); 2) 0.911 us | dm_table_get(); 2) 1. 76 us | _read_unlock(); 2) + 12.912 us | } 2) | dm_table_unplug_all() { 2) | blk_unplug() { 2) 0.778 us | generic_unplug_device(); 2) 2.409 us | } 2) 5.992 us | } 2) 0.813 us | dm_table_put(); 2) + 29. 90 us | } 2) + 34.532 us | } You can add up to 32 functions into this file. Currently we limit it to 32, but this may change with later improvements. To add another function, use the append '>>': # echo sys_read >> /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debugfs/tracing/set_graph_function blk_unplug sys_read Using the '>' will clear out the function and write anew: # echo sys_write > /debug/tracing/set_graph_function # cat /debug/tracing/set_graph_function sys_write Note, if you have function graph running while doing this, the small time between clearing it and updating it will cause the graph to record all functions. This should not be an issue because after it sets the filter, only those functions will be recorded from then on. If you need to only record a particular function then set this file first before starting the function graph tracer. In the future this side effect may be corrected. The set_graph_function file is similar to the set_ftrace_filter but it does not take wild cards nor does it allow for more than one function to be set with a single write. There is no technical reason why this is the case, I just do not have the time yet to implement that. Note, dynamic ftrace must be enabled for this to appear because it uses the dynamic ftrace records to match the name to the mcount call sites.

tracing/function-return-tracer: set a more human readable output Impact: feature This patch sets a C-like output for the function graph tracing. For this aim, we now call two handler for each function: one on the entry and one other on return. This way we can draw a well-ordered call stack. The pid of the previous trace is loosely stored to be compared against the one of the current trace to see if there were a context switch. Without this little feature, the call tree would seem broken at some locations. We could use the sched_tracer to capture these sched_events but this way of processing is much more simpler. 2 spaces have been chosen for indentation to fit the screen while deep calls. The time of execution in nanosecs is printed just after closed braces, it seems more easy this way to find the corresponding function. If the time was printed as a first column, it would be not so easy to find the corresponding function if it is called on a deep depth. I plan to output the return value but on 32 bits CPU, the return value can be 32 or 64, and its difficult to guess on which case we are. I don't know what would be the better solution on X86-32: only print eax (low-part) or even edx (high-part). Actually it's thee same problem when a function return a 8 bits value, the high part of eax could contain junk values... Here is an example of trace: sys_read() { fget_light() { } 526 vfs_read() { rw_verify_area() { security_file_permission() { cap_file_permission() { } 519 } 1564 } 2640 do_sync_read() { pipe_read() { __might_sleep() { } 511 pipe_wait() { prepare_to_wait() { } 760 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 504 } 1587 clear_buddies() { } 512 add_cfs_task_weight() { } 519 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 5602 dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { update_min_vruntime() { } 496 } 1631 clear_buddies() { } 496 update_min_vruntime() { } 527 } 4580 hrtick_update() { hrtick_start_fair() { } 488 } 1489 } 13700 } 14949 } 16016 msecs_to_jiffies() { } 496 put_prev_task_fair() { } 504 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_rt() { } 496 pick_next_task_fair() { } 489 pick_next_task_idle() { } 489 ------------8<---------- thread 4 ------------8<---------- finish_task_switch() { } 1203 do_softirq() { __do_softirq() { __local_bh_disable() { } 669 rcu_process_callbacks() { __rcu_process_callbacks() { cpu_quiet() { rcu_start_batch() { } 503 } 1647 } 3128 __rcu_process_callbacks() { } 542 } 5362 _local_bh_enable() { } 587 } 8880 } 9986 kthread_should_stop() { } 669 deactivate_task() { dequeue_task() { dequeue_task_fair() { dequeue_entity() { update_curr() { calc_delta_mine() { } 511 update_min_vruntime() { } 511 } 2813 Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

ftrace: preemptoff selftest not working Impact: fix preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracer self-tests I was wondering why the preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracer selftests don't work on s390. After all its just that they get called from non-preemptible context: kernel_init() will execute all initcalls, however the first line in kernel_init() is lock_kernel(), which causes the preempt_count to be increased. Any later calls to add_preempt_count() (especially those from the selftests) will therefore not result in a call to trace_preempt_off() since the check below in add_preempt_count() will be false: if (preempt_count() == val) trace_preempt_off(CALLER_ADDR0, get_parent_ip(CALLER_ADDR1)); Hence the trace buffer will be empty.

By default this is not displayed, we have to do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun > /debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the right.

tracing/ftrace: implement a set_flag callback for tracers Impact: give a way to send specific messages to tracers The current implementation of tracing uses some flags to control the output of general tracers. But we have no way to implement custom flags handling for a specific tracer. This patch proposes a new callback for the struct tracer which called set_flag and a structure that represents a 32 bits variable flag. A tracer can implement a struct tracer_flags on which it puts the initial value of the flag integer. Than it can place a range of flags with their name and their flag mask on the flag integer. The structure that implement a single flag is called struct tracer_opt. These custom flags will be available through the trace_options file like the general tracing flags. Changing their value is done like the other general flags. For example if you have a flag that calls "foo", you can activate it by writing "foo" or "nofoo" on trace_options. Note that the set_flag callback is optional and is only needed if you want the flags changing to be signaled to your tracer and let it to accept or refuse their assignment.

ftrace: CPU buffer start annotation clean ups Impact: better handling of CPU buffer start annotation Because of the confusion with the per CPU buffers wrapping where one CPU might be more active at the end of the trace than the other CPUs causing that one CPU to have a shorter history. Kernel developers were confused by the "missing" data of that one CPU at the beginning of the trace output. An annotation was added to the trace output to show that the buffer had started: # tracer: function # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | | | ##### CPU 3 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [003] 158.192959: smp_apic_timer_interrupt [...] <idle>-0 [003] 161.556520: default_idle ##### CPU 1 buffer started #### <idle>-0 [001] 161.592494: hrtimer_force_reprogram [etc] But this annotation gets a bit messy when tracers do not fill the buffers. This patch does a couple of things: One) it adds a flag to trace_options to disable these annotations Two) it does not annotate if the tracer did not overflow its buffer. This makes the output much cleaner. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

By converting to the unified trace buffer, we now allow for variable size entries which makes the meaning of trace_entries pointless. Since trace_size might be confused to the size of the trace, this patch names it "buffer_size_kb" (thanks to Arjan van de Ven for this idea).

ftrace: display start of CPU buffer in trace output Impact: change in trace output Because the trace buffers are per cpu ring buffers, the start of the trace can be confusing. If one CPU is very active at the end of the trace, its history will not go as far back as the other CPU traces. This means that output for a particular CPU may not appear for the first part of a trace. To help annotate what is happening, and to prevent any more confusion, this patch adds a line that annotates the start of a CPU buffer output. For example: automount-3495 [001] 184.596443: dnotify_parent <-vfs_write [...] automount-3495 [001] 184.596449: dput <-path_put automount-3496 [002] 184.596450: down_read_trylock <-do_page_fault [...] sshd-3497 [001] 184.597069: up_read <-do_page_fault <idle>-0 [000] 184.597074: __exit_idle <-exit_idle [...] automount-3496 [002] 184.597257: filemap_fault <-__do_fault <idle>-0 [003] 184.597261: exit_idle <-smp_apic_timer_interrupt Note, parsers of a trace output should always ignore any lines that start with a '#'.

Currently the trace_printk is set to off by default. ftrace_printk should only be in open kernel code when used for debugging, and thus it should be enabled by default.

ftrace: restructure tracing start/stop infrastructure Impact: change where tracing is started up and stopped Currently, when a new tracer is selected via echo'ing a tracer name into the current_tracer file, the startup is only done if tracing_enabled is set to one. If tracing_enabled is changed to zero (by echo'ing 0 into the tracing_enabled file) a full shutdown is performed. The full startup and shutdown of a tracer can be expensive and the user can lose out traces when echo'ing in 0 to the tracing_enabled file, because the process takes too long. There can also be places that the user would like to start and stop the tracer several times and doing the full startup and shutdown of a tracer might be too expensive. This patch performs the full startup and shutdown when a tracer is selected. It also adds a way to do a quick start or stop of a tracer. The quick version is just a flag that prevents the tracing from taking place, but the overhead of the code is still there. For example, the startup of a tracer may enable tracepoints, or enable the function tracer. The stop and start will just set a flag to have the tracer ignore the calls when the tracepoint or function trace is called. The overhead of the tracer may still be present when the tracer is stopped, but no tracing will occur. Setting the tracer to the 'nop' tracer (or any other tracer) will perform the shutdown of the tracer which will disable the tracepoint or disable the function tracer. The tracing_enabled file will simply start or stop tracing. This change is all internal. The end result for the user should be the same as before. If tracing_enabled is not set, no trace will happen. If tracing_enabled is set, then the trace will happen. The tracing_enabled variable is static between tracers. Enabling tracing_enabled and going to another tracer will keep tracing_enabled enabled. Same is true with disabling tracing_enabled. This patch will now provide a fast start/stop method to the users for enabling or disabling tracing. Note: There were two methods to the struct tracer that were never used: The methods start and stop. These were to be used as a hook to the reading of the trace output, but ended up not being necessary. These two methods are now used to enable the start and stop of each tracer, in case the tracer needs to do more than just not write into the buffer. For example, the irqsoff tracer must stop recording max latencies when tracing is stopped. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

ftrace: function tracer with irqs disabled Impact: disable interrupts during trace entry creation (as opposed to preempt) To help with performance, I set the ftracer to not disable interrupts, and only to disable preemption. If an interrupt occurred, it would not be traced, because the function tracer protects itself from recursion. This may be faster, but the trace output might miss some traces. This patch makes the fuction trace disable interrupts, but it also adds a runtime feature to disable preemption instead. It does this by having two different tracer functions. When the function tracer is enabled, it will check to see which version is requested (irqs disabled or preemption disabled). Then it will use the corresponding function as the tracer. Irq disabling is the default behaviour, but if the user wants better performance, with the chance of missing traces, then they can choose the preempt disabled version. Running hackbench 3 times with the irqs disabled and 3 times with the preempt disabled function tracer yielded: tracing type times entries recorded ------------ -------- ---------------- irq disabled 43.393 166433066 43.282 166172618 43.298 166256704 preempt disabled 38.969 159871710 38.943 159972935 39.325 161056510 Average: irqs disabled: 43.324 166287462 preempt disabled: 39.079 160300385 preempt is 10.8 percent faster than irqs disabled. I wrote a patch to count function trace recursion and reran hackbench. With irq disabled: 1,150 times the function tracer did not trace due to recursion. with preempt disabled: 5,117,718 times. The thousand times with irq disabled could be due to NMIs, or simply a case where it called a function that was not protected by notrace. But we also see that a large amount of the trace is lost with the preempt version.

ftrace: use kretprobe trampoline name to test in output Impact: ia64+tracing build fix When a function is kprobed, the return address is set to the kprobe_trampoline, or something similar. This caused the output of the trace to look confusing when the parent seemed to be this "kprobe_trampoline" function. To fix this, Abhishek Sagar added a test of the instruction pointer of the parent to see if it matched the kprobe_trampoline. If it did, the output would print a "[unknown/kretprobe'd]" instead. Unfortunately, not all archs do this the same way, and the trampoline function may not be exported, which causes failures in builds. This patch will compare the name instead of the pointer to see if it matches. This prevents us from depending on a function from being exported, and should work on all archs. The worst that can happen is that an arch might use a different name and then we go back to the confusing output. At least the arch will still build.

Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing the real answer.

But this had a bug if the amount written was more than the amount read by that code. The first iteration would set the tracer correctly, but since it did not consume the rest of what was written (usually whitespace), the userspace utility would continue to write what was not consumed. This second iteration would fail to find a tracer and return -EINVAL. Funny thing is that the tracer would have already been set. This patch just consumes all the data that is written to the file.

ftrace: ftrace dump on oops control Impact: add (default-off) dump-trace-on-oops flag Currently, ftrace is set up to dump its contents to the console if the kernel panics or oops. This can be annoying if you have trace data in the buffers and you experience an oops, but the trace data is old or static. Usually when you want ftrace to dump its contents is when you are debugging your system and you have set up ftrace to trace the events leading to an oops. This patch adds a control variable called "ftrace_dump_on_oops" that will enable the ftrace dump to console on oops. This variable is default off but a developer can enable it either through the kernel command line by adding "ftrace_dump_on_oops" or at run time by setting (or disabling) /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops. v2: Replaced /** with /* as Randy explained that kernel-doc does not yet handle variables.

ftrace: only have ftrace_kill atomic When an anomaly is detected, we need a way to completely disable ftrace. Right now we have two functions: ftrace_kill and ftrace_kill_atomic. The ftrace_kill tries to do it in a "nice" way by converting everything back to a nop. The "nice" way is dangerous itself, so this patch removes it and only has the "atomic" version, which is all that is needed.

ftrace: preempt disable over interrupt disable With the new ring buffer infrastructure in ftrace, I'm trying to make ftrace a little more light weight. This patch converts a lot of the local_irq_save/restore into preempt_disable/enable. The original preempt count in a lot of cases has to be sent in as a parameter so that it can be recorded correctly. Some places were recording it incorrectly before anyway. This is also laying the ground work to make ftrace a little bit more reentrant, and remove all locking. The function tracers must still protect from reentrancy. Note: All the function tracers must be careful when using preempt_disable. It must do the following: resched = need_resched(); preempt_disable_notrace(); [...] if (resched) preempt_enable_no_resched_notrace(); else preempt_enable_notrace(); The reason is that if this function traces schedule() itself, the preempt_enable_notrace() will cause a schedule, which will lead us into a recursive failure. If we needed to reschedule before calling preempt_disable, we should have already scheduled. Since we did not, this is most likely that we should not and are probably inside a schedule function. If resched was not set, we still need to catch the need resched flag being set when preemption was off and the if case at the end will catch that for us.

ftrace: type cast filter+verifier The mmiotrace map had a bug that would typecast the entry from the trace to the wrong type. That is a known danger of C typecasts, there's absolutely zero checking done on them. Help that problem a bit by using a GCC extension to implement a type filter that restricts the types that a trace record can be cast into, and by adding a dynamic check (in debug mode) to verify the type of the entry. This patch adds a macro to assign all entries of ftrace using the type of the variable and checking the entry id. The typecasts are now done in the macro for only those types that it knows about, which should be all the types that are allowed to be read from the tracer.

ring_buffer: implement new locking The old "lock always" scheme had issues with lockdep, and was not very efficient anyways. This patch does a new design to be partially lockless on writes. Writes will add new entries to the per cpu pages by simply disabling interrupts. When a write needs to go to another page than it will grab the lock. A new "read page" has been added so that the reader can pull out a page from the ring buffer to read without worrying about the writer writing over it. This allows us to not take the lock for all reads. The lock is now only taken when a read needs to go to a new page. This is far from lockless, and interrupts still need to be disabled, but it is a step towards a more lockless solution, and it also solves a lot of the issues that were noticed by the first conversion of ftrace to the ring buffers. Note: the ring_buffer_{un}lock API has been removed. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

ftrace: dump out ftrace buffers to console on panic At OLS I had a lot of interest to be able to have the ftrace buffers dumped on panic. Usually one would expect to uses kexec and examine the buffers after a new kernel is loaded. But sometimes the resources do not permit kdump and kexec, so having an option to still see the sequence of events up to the crash is very advantageous. This patch adds the option to have the ftrace buffers dumped to the console in the latency_trace format on a panic. When the option is set, the default entries per CPU buffer are lowered to 16384, since the writing to the serial (if that is the console) may take an awful long time otherwise.

ftrace: printk formatting infrastructure This patch adds a feature that can help kernel developers debug their code using ftrace. int ftrace_printk(const char *fmt, ...); This records into the ftrace buffer using printf formatting. The entry size in the buffers are still a fixed length. A new type has been added that allows for more entries to be used for a single recording. The start of the print is still the same as the other entries. It returns the number of characters written to the ftrace buffer. For example: Having a module with the following code: static int __init ftrace_print_test(void) { ftrace_printk("jiffies are %ld\n", jiffies); return 0; } Gives me: insmod-5441 3...1 7569us : ftrace_print_test: jiffies are 4296626666 for the latency_trace file and: insmod-5441 [03] 1959.370498: ftrace_print_test jiffies are 4296626666 for the trace file. Note: Only the infrastructure should go into the kernel. It is to help facilitate debugging for other kernel developers. Calls to ftrace_printk is not intended to be left in the kernel, and should be frowned upon just like scattering printks around in the code. But having this easily at your fingertips helps the debugging go faster and bugs be solved quicker. Maybe later on, we can hook this with markers and have their printf format be sucked into ftrace output. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

ftrace: distinguish kretprobe'd functions in trace logs Tracing functions via ftrace which have a kretprobe installed on them, can produce misleading output in their trace logs. E.g, consider the correct trace of the following sequence: do_IRQ() { ~ irq_enter(); ~ } Trace log (sample): <idle>-0 [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- do_IRQ But if irq_enter() has a kretprobe installed on it, the return value stored on the stack at each invocation is modified to divert the return to a kprobe trampoline function called kretprobe_trampoline(). So with this the trace would (currently) look like: <idle>-0 [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- kretprobe_trampoline Now this is quite misleading to the end user, as it suggests something that didn't actually happen. So just to avoid such misinterpretations, the inlined patch aims to output such a log as: <idle>-0 [00] 4154504455.781616: irq_enter <- [unknown/kretprobe'd] Signed-off-by: Abhishek Sagar <sagar.abhishek@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

I have my own output formatting in place now. Summary of changes: - fix the NULL dereference that was due to not calling tracing_reset() - add print_line() callback into struct tracer - implement print_line() for mmiotrace, producing up-to-spec text - add my output header, but that is not really called in the right place - rewrote the main structs in mmiotrace - added two new trace entry types: TRACE_MMIO_RW and TRACE_MMIO_MAP - made some functions in trace.c non-static - check current==NULL in tracing_generic_entry_update() - fix(?) comparison in trace_seq_printf() Things seem to work fine except a few issues. Markers (text lines injected into mmiotrace log) are missing, I did not feel hacking them in before we have variable length entries. My output header is printed only for 'trace' file, but not 'trace_pipe'. For some reason, despite my quick fix, iter->trace is NULL in print_trace_line() when called from 'trace_pipe' file, which means I don't get proper output formatting. I only tried by loading nouveau.ko, which just detects the card, and that is traced fine. I didn't try further. Map, two reads and unmap. Works perfectly. I am missing the information about overflows, I'd prefer to have a counter for lost events. I didn't try, but I guess currently there is no way of knowning when it overflows? So, not too far from being fully operational, it seems :-) And looking at the diffstat, there also is some 700-900 lines of user space code that just became obsolete.

ftrace: limit trace entries Currently there is no protection from the root user to use up all of memory for trace buffers. If the root user allocates too many entries, the OOM killer might start kill off all tasks. This patch adds an algorith to check the following condition: pages_requested > (freeable_memory + current_trace_buffer_pages) / 4 If the above is met then the allocation fails. The above prevents more than 1/4th of freeable memory from being used by trace buffers. To determine the freeable_memory, I made determine_dirtyable_memory in mm/page-writeback.c global. Special thanks goes to Peter Zijlstra for suggesting the above calculation.

ftrace: trace_entries to dynamically change trace buffer size This patch adds /debug/tracing/trace_entries that allows users to see as well as modify the number of trace entries the buffers hold. The number of entries only increments in ENTRIES_PER_PAGE which is calculated by the size of an entry with the number of entries that can fit in a page. The user does not need to use an exact size, but the entries will be rounded to one of the increments. Trying to set the entries to 0 will return with -EINVAL. To avoid race conditions, the modification of the buffer size can only be done when tracing is completely disabled (current_tracer == none). A info message will be printed if a user tries to modify the buffer size when not set to none.

ftrace: fix conversion of task state to char in latency tracer The conversion of task states to a character in the sched_switch tracer (part of latency tracer infrastructure), seems to be incorrect. We currently do it by indexing into the state_to_char array using the state value. The state values do not map directly into the array index and are thus incorrect.

ftrace: add trace_function api for other tracers to use A new check was added in the ftrace function that wont trace if the CPU trace buffer is disabled. Unfortunately, other tracers used ftrace() to write to the buffer after they disabled it. The new disable check makes these calls into a nop. This patch changes the __ftrace that is called without the check into a new api for the other tracers to use, called "trace_function". The other tracers use this interface instead when the trace CPU buffer is already disabled.

ftrace: user run time file reading This patch creates a file called trace_pipe in the tracing debug directory. This file is a consumer of the trace buffers. This means that reads of this file consumes the entries from the trace buffers so that they will not be read a second time, as contrast to the static buffers latency_trace and trace. Reading from the trace_pipe will remove the entries from trace and latency_trace too. The advantage that trace_pipe has is that it can record live traces. It will block when there is nothing in the buffer, and read the entries as they are entered. An EOF happens when tracing is disabled (tracing_enabled = 0).

ftrace: change buffers to producer consumer This patch changes the way the CPU trace buffers are handled. Instead of always starting from the trace page head, the logic is changed to a producer consumer logic. This allows for the buffers to be drained while they are alive.

ftrace: reset selftests The tests may leave stuff in the buffers. This resets the buffers after each test is run. If a test fails, it does not reset the buffer to avoid touching a buffer that is corrupted.

ftrace: convert single large buffer into single pages. Allocating large buffers for the tracer may fail easily. This patch converts the buffer from a large ordered allocation to single pages. It uses the struct page LRU field to link the pages together. Later patches may also implement dynamic increasing and decreasing of the trace buffers.

ftrace: latency tracer infrastructure This patch adds the latency tracer infrastructure. This patch does not add anything that will select and turn it on, but will be used by later patches. If it were to be compiled, it would add the following files to the debugfs: The root tracing directory: /debugfs/tracing/ This patch also adds the following files: available_tracers list of available tracers. Currently no tracers are available. Looking into this file only shows "none" which is used to unregister all tracers. current_tracer The trace that is currently active. Empty on start up. To switch to a tracer simply echo one of the tracers that are listed in available_tracers: example: (used with later patches) echo function > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer To disable the tracer: echo disable > /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer tracing_enabled echoing "1" into this file starts the ftrace function tracing (if sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1) echoing "0" turns it off. latency_trace This file is readonly and holds the result of the trace. trace This file outputs a easier to read version of the trace. iter_ctrl Controls the way the output of traces look. So far there's two controls: echoing in "symonly" will only show the kallsyms variables without the addresses (if kallsyms was configured) echoing in "verbose" will change the output to show a lot more data, but not very easy to understand by humans. echoing in "nosymonly" turns off symonly. echoing in "noverbose" turns off verbose.
