Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Remove code I accidentally applied when doing a minor fix up to a patch, and then using "git commit -a --amend", which pulled in some other changes I was playing with. - Remove an used variable in trace_events_inject code - Fix function graph tracer when it traces a ftrace direct function. It will now ignore tracing a function that has a ftrace direct tramploine attached. This is needed for eBPF to use the ftrace direct code. * tag 'trace-v5.5-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace: Fix function_graph tracer interaction with BPF trampoline tracing: remove set but not used variable 'buffer' module: Remove accidental change of module_enable_x()

ftrace: Fix function_graph tracer interaction with BPF trampoline

2019-12-10T18:53:59Z

Depending on type of BPF programs served by BPF trampoline it can call original function. In such case the trampoline will skip one stack frame while returning. That will confuse function_graph tracer and will cause crashes with bad RIP. Teach graph tracer to skip functions that have BPF trampoline attached.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New tracing features: - New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a function. As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops with PREMANENT flag set from being registered. - New register_ftrace_direct(). As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to allow for security auditing. - Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances. Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other users from writing over their data. - New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their seq_buf usage. - Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency tracers. - Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch and friends. - More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16) - Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the system call trace events. This along with small clean ups and fixes" * tag 'trace-v5.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (51 commits) tracing: Enable syscall optimization for MIPS tracing: Use xarray for syscall trace events tracing: Sample module to demonstrate kernel access to Ftrace instances. tracing: Adding new functions for kernel access to Ftrace instances tracing: Fix Kconfig indentation ring-buffer: Fix typos in function ring_buffer_producer ftrace: Use BIT() macro ftrace: Return ENOTSUPP when DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS is not configured ftrace: Rename ftrace_graph_stub to ftrace_stub_graph ftrace: Add a helper function to modify_ftrace_direct() to allow arch optimization ftrace: Add helper find_direct_entry() to consolidate code ftrace: Add another check for match in register_ftrace_direct() ftrace: Fix accounting bug with direct->count in register_ftrace_direct() ftrace/selftests: Fix spelling mistake "wakeing" -> "waking" tracing: Increase SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX for synthetic_events ftrace/samples: Add a sample module that implements modify_ftrace_direct() ftrace: Add modify_ftrace_direct() tracing: Add missing "inline" in stub function of latency_fsnotify() tracing: Remove stray tab in TRACE_EVAL_MAP_FILE's help text tracing: Use seq_buf_hex_dump() to dump buffers ...

ftrace: Use BIT() macro

2019-11-23T00:41:08Z

It's cleaner to use the BIT() macro instead of raw shift operation. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191121133815.15040-1-info@metux.net Signed-off-by: Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult [ Added BIT() for bits 16 and 17 ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

ftrace: Return ENOTSUPP when DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS is not configured

2019-11-20T23:52:23Z

When CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS is not set it's best to have the stub functions return ENOTSUPP instead of ENODEV, otherwise ENODEV is a valid error when ip is incorrect which is indistinguishable from ftrace not compiled in.

ftrace: Add a helper function to modify_ftrace_direct() to allow arch optimization

2019-11-18T16:42:09Z

If a direct ftrace callback is at a location that does not have any other ftrace helpers attached to it, it is possible to simply just change the text to call the new caller (if the architecture supports it). But this requires special architecture code. Currently, modify_ftrace_direct() uses a trick to add a stub ftrace callback to the location forcing it to call the ftrace iterator. Then it can change the direct helper to call the new function in C, and then remove the stub. Removing the stub will have the location now call the new location that the direct helper is using. The new helper function does the registering the stub trick, but is a weak function, allowing an architecture to override it to do something a bit more direct.

ftrace: Add modify_ftrace_direct()

2019-11-15T03:45:47Z

Add a new function modify_ftrace_direct() that will allow a user to update an existing direct caller to a new trampoline, without missing hits due to unregistering one and then adding another.

ftrace/x86: Add a counter to test function_graph with direct

2019-11-13T14:36:49Z

As testing for direct calls from the function graph tracer adds a little overhead (which is a lot when tracing every function), add a counter that can be used to test if function_graph tracer needs to test for a direct caller or not. It would have been nicer if we could use a static branch, but the static branch logic fails when used within the function graph tracer trampoline. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

ftrace/x86: Add register_ftrace_direct() for custom trampolines

ftrace: Add ftrace_find_direct_func()

2019-11-13T14:36:48Z

As function_graph tracer modifies the return address to insert a trampoline to trace the return of a function, it must be aware of a direct caller, as when it gets called, the function's return address may not be at on the stack where it expects. It may have to see if that return address points to the a direct caller and adjust if it is. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)
