module/ftrace: handle patchable-function-entry

2022-02-23T10:59:56Z

commit a1326b17ac03a9012cb3d01e434aacb4d67a416c upstream. When using patchable-function-entry, the compiler will record the callsites into a section named "__patchable_function_entries" rather than "__mcount_loc". Let's abstract this difference behind a new FTRACE_CALLSITE_SECTION, so that architectures don't have to handle this explicitly (e.g. with custom module linker scripts). As parisc currently handles this explicitly, it is fixed up accordingly, with its custom linker script removed. Since FTRACE_CALLSITE_SECTION is only defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is selected, the parisc module loading code is updated to only use the definition in that case. When DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not selected, modules shouldn't have this section, so this removes some redundant work in that case. To make sure that this is keep up-to-date for modules and the main kernel, a comment is added to vmlinux.lds.h, with the existing ifdeffery simplified for legibility. I built parisc generic-{32,64}bit_defconfig with DYNAMIC_FTRACE enabled, and verified that the section made it into the .ko files for modules.

ftrace: add ftrace_init_nop()

2022-02-23T10:59:56Z

commit fbf6c73c5b264c25484fa9f449b5546569fe11f0 upstream. Architectures may need to perform special initialization of ftrace callsites, and today they do so by special-casing ftrace_make_nop() when the expected branch address is MCOUNT_ADDR. In some cases (e.g. for patchable-function-entry), we don't have an mcount-like symbol and don't want a synthetic MCOUNT_ADDR, but we may need to perform some initialization of callsites. To make it possible to separate initialization from runtime modification, and to handle cases without an mcount-like symbol, this patch adds an optional ftrace_init_nop() function that architectures can implement, which does not pass a branch address. Where an architecture does not provide ftrace_init_nop(), we will fall back to the existing behaviour of calling ftrace_make_nop() with MCOUNT_ADDR. At the same time, ftrace_code_disable() is renamed to ftrace_nop_initialize() to make it clearer that it is intended to intialize a callsite into a disabled state, and is not for disabling a callsite that has been runtime enabled. The kerneldoc description of rec arguments is updated to cover non-mcount callsites.

ftrace: Make enable and update parameters bool when applicable

2019-05-26T03:04:42Z

The code modification functions have "enable" and "update" variables that are sometimes "int" but used as "bool". Remove the ambiguity and make them "bool" when they are only used for true or false values.

tracing: Cleanup stack trace code

2019-04-29T10:37:46Z

- Remove the extra array member of stack_dump_trace[] along with the ARRAY_SIZE - 1 initialization for struct stack_trace :: max_entries. Both are historical leftovers of no value. The stack tracer never exceeds the array and there is no extra storage requirement either. - Make variables which are only used in trace_stack.c static. - Simplify the enable/disable logic. - Rename stack_trace_print() as it's using the stack_trace_ namespace. Free the name up for stack trace related functions.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier. - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base. - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more features to the histograms in the future. - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in the future to use str_has_prefix() instead. - A few other various clean ups as well. * tag 'trace-v4.21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (57 commits) tracing: Use the return of str_has_prefix() to remove open coded numbers tracing: Have the historgram use the result of str_has_prefix() for len of prefix tracing: Use str_has_prefix() instead of using fixed sizes tracing: Use str_has_prefix() helper for histogram code string.h: Add str_has_prefix() helper function tracing: Make function ‘ftrace_exports’ static tracing: Simplify printf'ing in seq_print_sym tracing: Avoid -Wformat-nonliteral warning tracing: Merge seq_print_sym_short() and seq_print_sym_offset() tracing: Add hist trigger comments for variable-related fields tracing: Remove hist trigger synth_var_refs tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to destroy var_refs tracing: Remove open-coding of hist trigger var_ref management tracing: Use var_refs[] for hist trigger reference checking tracing: Change strlen to sizeof for hist trigger static strings tracing: Remove unnecessary hist trigger struct field tracing: Fix ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() to use task and not current seq_buf: Use size_t for len in seq_buf_puts() seq_buf: Make seq_buf_puts() null-terminate the buffer arm64: Use ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() instead of curr_ret_stack ...

ftrace: Allow ftrace_replace_code() to be schedulable

2018-12-10T17:22:45Z

The function ftrace_replace_code() is the ftrace engine that does the work to modify all the nops into the calls to the function callback in all the functions being traced. The generic version which is normally called from stop machine, but an architecture can implement a non stop machine version and still use the generic ftrace_replace_code(). When an architecture does this, ftrace_replace_code() may be called from a schedulable context, where it can allow the code to be preemptible, and schedule out. In order to allow an architecture to make ftrace_replace_code() schedulable, a new command flag is added called: FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP Which can be or'd to the command that is passed to ftrace_modify_all_code() that calls ftrace_replace_code() and will have it call cond_resched() in the loop that modifies the nops into the calls to the ftrace trampolines.

The ret_stack processing is going to change, and that is going to break anything that is accessing the ret_stack directly. One user is the function graph profiler. By using the ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() helper function, the profiler can access the ret_stack entry without relying on the implementation details of the stack itself.

fgraph: Add new fgraph_ops structure to enable function graph hooks

2018-12-09T01:54:07Z

Currently the registering of function graph is to pass in a entry and return function. We need to have a way to associate those functions together where the entry can determine to run the return hook. Having a structure that contains both functions will facilitate the process of converting the code to be able to do such. This is similar to the way function hooks are enabled (it passes in ftrace_ops). Instead of passing in the functions to use, a single structure is passed in to the registering function. The unregister function is now passed in the fgraph_ops handle. When we allow more than one callback to the function graph hooks, this will let the system know which one to remove.
