ftrace: Consolidate ftrace_regs accessor functions for archs using pt_regs

2024-10-15T15:42:35Z

Most architectures use pt_regs within ftrace_regs making a lot of the accessor functions just calls to the pt_regs internally. Instead of duplication this effort, use a HAVE_ARCH_FTRACE_REGS for architectures that have their own ftrace_regs that is not based on pt_regs and will define all the accessor functions, and for the architectures that just use pt_regs, it will leave it undefined, and the default accessor functions will be used. Note, this will also make it easier to add new accessor functions to ftrace_regs as it will mean having to touch less architectures.

ftrace: Make ftrace_regs abstract from direct use

2024-10-11T00:18:01Z

ftrace_regs was created to hold registers that store information to save function parameters, return value and stack. Since it is a subset of pt_regs, it should only be used by its accessor functions. But because pt_regs can easily be taken from ftrace_regs (on most archs), it is tempting to use it directly. But when running on other architectures, it may fail to build or worse, build but crash the kernel! Instead, make struct ftrace_regs an empty structure and have the architectures define __arch_ftrace_regs and all the accessor functions will typecast to it to get to the actual fields. This will help avoid usage of ftrace_regs directly.

fgraph: Simplify return address printing in function graph tracer

2024-10-10T18:06:26Z

Simplify return address printing in the function graph tracer by removing fgraph_extras. Since this feature is only used by the function graph tracer and the feature flags can directly accessible from the function graph tracer, fgraph_extras can be removed from the fgraph callback.

function_graph: Support recording and printing the function return address

2024-10-05T14:14:04Z

When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long. This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs. To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return value, while '<-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to make it look more like the function tracer. A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return address. See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled. 0) | load_elf_binary() { /* <-bprm_execve+0x249/0x600 */ 0) | load_elf_phdrs() { /* <-load_elf_binary+0x84/0x1730 */ 0) | __kmalloc_noprof() { /* <-load_elf_phdrs+0x4a/0xb0 */ 0) 3.657 us | __cond_resched(); /* <-__kmalloc_noprof+0x28c/0x390 ret=0x0 */ 0) + 24.335 us | } /* __kmalloc_noprof ret=0xffff8882007f3000 */ 0) | kernel_read() { /* <-load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 */ 0) | rw_verify_area() { /* <-kernel_read+0x2b/0x50 */ 0) | security_file_permission() { /* <-kernel_read+0x2b/0x50 */ 0) | selinux_file_permission() { /* <-security_file_permission+0x26/0x40 */ 0) | __inode_security_revalidate() { /* <-selinux_file_permission+0x6d/0x140 */ 0) 2.034 us | __cond_resched(); /* <-__inode_security_revalidate+0x5f/0x80 ret=0x0 */ 0) 6.602 us | } /* __inode_security_revalidate ret=0x0 */ 0) 2.214 us | avc_policy_seqno(); /* <-selinux_file_permission+0x107/0x140 ret=0x0 */ 0) + 16.670 us | } /* selinux_file_permission ret=0x0 */ 0) + 20.809 us | } /* security_file_permission ret=0x0 */ 0) + 25.217 us | } /* rw_verify_area ret=0x0 */ 0) | __kernel_read() { /* <-load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 */ 0) | ext4_file_read_iter() { /* <-__kernel_read+0x160/0x2e0 */ Then, we can use the faddr2line to locate the source code, for example: $ ./scripts/faddr2line ./vmlinux load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0: elf_read at fs/binfmt_elf.c:471 (inlined by) load_elf_phdrs at fs/binfmt_elf.c:531 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20240915032912.1118397-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com Reported-by: kernel test robot Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202409150605.HgUmU8ea-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Donglin Peng [ Rebased to handle text_delta offsets ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)

ftrace: Have calltime be saved in the fgraph storage

2024-09-30T15:12:46Z

The calltime field in the shadow stack frame is only used by the function graph tracer and profiler. But now that there's other users of the function graph infrastructure, this adds overhead and wastes space on the shadow stack. Move the calltime to the fgraph data storage, where the function graph and profiler entry functions will save it in its own graph storage and retrieve it in its exit functions.

fgraph: Use fgraph data to store subtime for profiler

2024-09-30T15:12:46Z

Instead of having the "subtime" for the function profiler in the infrastructure ftrace_ret_stack structure, have it use the fgraph data reserve and retrieve functions. This will keep the limited shadow stack from wasting 8 bytes for something that is seldom used.

sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers

2024-07-24T18:59:29Z

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified. This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script: ``` virtual patch @r1@ identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)"; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); @r2@ identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... } @r3@ identifier func; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r4@ identifier func, ctl; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r5@ identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); ``` * Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler, xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where adjusted. * The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified. This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the proc_handler migration.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: "Rewrite of function graph tracer to allow multiple users Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user attached to it. If another user tried to attach to the function graph tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing function graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for since 2009, but it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so it never happened. Until now! There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function graph tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes uses a shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a shadow stack for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it possible to trace the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs that feature too, allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed. BPF also wants to trace the return of many probes and its method doesn't scale either. Having it use function graph tracer would improve that. By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This will allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version will no longer be needed. Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16 simultaneous users, due to shadow stack size and allocated slots" * tag 'ftrace-v6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (49 commits) fgraph: Use str_plural() in test_graph_storage_single() function_graph: Add READ_ONCE() when accessing fgraph_array[] ftrace: Add missing kerneldoc parameters to unregister_ftrace_direct() function_graph: Everyone uses HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, remove it function_graph: Fix up ftrace_graph_ret_addr() function_graph: Make fgraph_update_pid_func() a stub for !DYNAMIC_FTRACE function_graph: Rename BYTE_NUMBER to CHAR_NUMBER in selftests fgraph: Remove some unused functions ftrace: Hide one more entry in stack trace when ftrace_pid is enabled function_graph: Do not update pid func if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE not enabled function_graph: Make fgraph_do_direct static key static ftrace: Fix prototypes for ftrace_startup/shutdown_subops() ftrace: Assign RCU list variable with rcu_assign_ptr() ftrace: Assign ftrace_list_end to ftrace_ops_list type cast to RCU ftrace: Declare function_trace_op in header to quiet sparse warning ftrace: Add comments to ftrace_hash_move() and friends ftrace: Convert "inc" parameter to bool in ftrace_hash_rec_update_modify() ftrace: Add comments to ftrace_hash_rec_disable/enable() ftrace: Remove "filter_hash" parameter from __ftrace_hash_rec_update() ftrace: Rename dup_hash() and comment it ...

kallsyms: rework symbol lookup return codes

2024-06-27T15:43:40Z

Building with W=1 in some configurations produces a false positive warning for kallsyms: kernel/kallsyms.c: In function '__sprint_symbol.isra': kernel/kallsyms.c:503:17: error: 'strcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict] 503 | strcpy(buffer, name); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This originally showed up while building with -O3, but later started happening in other configurations as well, depending on inlining decisions. The underlying issue is that the local 'name' variable is always initialized to the be the same as 'buffer' in the called functions that fill the buffer, which gcc notices while inlining, though it could see that the address check always skips the copy. The calling conventions here are rather unusual, as all of the internal lookup functions (bpf_address_lookup, ftrace_mod_address_lookup, ftrace_func_address_lookup, module_address_lookup and kallsyms_lookup_buildid) already use the provided buffer and either return the address of that buffer to indicate success, or NULL for failure, but the callers are written to also expect an arbitrary other buffer to be returned. Rework the calling conventions to return the length of the filled buffer instead of its address, which is simpler and easier to follow as well as avoiding the warning. Leave only the kallsyms_lookup() calling conventions unchanged, since that is called from 16 different functions and adapting this would be a much bigger change.
