tracing: Fix check for cpu online when event is disabled

2016-03-16T15:42:20Z

commit dc17147de328a74bbdee67c1bf37d2f1992de756 upstream. Commit f37755490fe9b ("tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline") added a check to make sure that tracepoints only get called when the cpu is online, as it uses rcu_read_lock_sched() for protection. Commit 3a630178fd5f3 ("tracing: generate RCU warnings even when tracepoints are disabled") added lockdep checks (including rcu checks) for events that are not enabled to catch possible RCU issues that would only be triggered if a trace event was enabled. Commit f37755490fe9b only stopped the warnings when the trace event was enabled but did not prevent warnings if the trace event was called when disabled. To fix this, the cpu online check is moved to where the condition is added to the trace event. This will place the cpu online check in all places that it may be used now and in the future.

tracepoints: Do not trace when cpu is offline

2016-03-03T23:06:44Z

commit f37755490fe9bf76f6ba1d8c6591745d3574a6a6 upstream. The tracepoint infrastructure uses RCU sched protection to enable and disable tracepoints safely. There are some instances where tracepoints are used in infrastructure code (like kfree()) that get called after a CPU is going offline, and perhaps when it is coming back online but hasn't been registered yet. This can probuce the following warning: [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] 4.4.0-00006-g0fe53e8-dirty #34 Tainted: G S ------------------------------- include/trace/events/kmem.h:141 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage! other info that might help us debug this: RCU used illegally from offline CPU! rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1 no locks held by swapper/8/0. stack backtrace: CPU: 8 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/8 Tainted: G S 4.4.0-00006-g0fe53e8-dirty #34 Call Trace: [c0000005b76c78d0] [c0000000008b9540] .dump_stack+0x98/0xd4 (unreliable) [c0000005b76c7950] [c00000000010c898] .lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0x108/0x170 [c0000005b76c79e0] [c00000000029adc0] .kfree+0x390/0x440 [c0000005b76c7a80] [c000000000055f74] .destroy_context+0x44/0x100 [c0000005b76c7b00] [c0000000000934a0] .__mmdrop+0x60/0x150 [c0000005b76c7b90] [c0000000000e3ff0] .idle_task_exit+0x130/0x140 [c0000005b76c7c20] [c000000000075804] .pseries_mach_cpu_die+0x64/0x310 [c0000005b76c7cd0] [c000000000043e7c] .cpu_die+0x3c/0x60 [c0000005b76c7d40] [c0000000000188d8] .arch_cpu_idle_dead+0x28/0x40 [c0000005b76c7db0] [c000000000101e6c] .cpu_startup_entry+0x50c/0x560 [c0000005b76c7ed0] [c000000000043bd8] .start_secondary+0x328/0x360 [c0000005b76c7f90] [c000000000008a6c] start_secondary_prolog+0x10/0x14 This warning is not a false positive either. RCU is not protecting code that is being executed while the CPU is offline. Instead of playing "whack-a-mole(TM)" and adding conditional statements to the tracepoints we find that are used in this instance, simply add a cpu_online() test to the tracepoint code where the tracepoint will be ignored if the CPU is offline. Use of raw_smp_processor_id() is fine, as there should never be a case where the tracepoint code goes from running on a CPU that is online and suddenly gets migrated to a CPU that is offline.

tracing: Do not add event files for modules that fail tracepoints

2014-03-04T02:11:05Z

If a module fails to add its tracepoints due to module tainting, do not create the module event infrastructure in the debugfs directory. As the events will not work and worse yet, they will silently fail, making the user wonder why the events they enable do not display anything. Having a warning on module load and the events not visible to the users will make the cause of the problem much clearer.

ftrace, perf: Avoid infinite event generation loop

2013-11-19T15:57:40Z

Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem. When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an infinite event generation loop: ,-> | irq_work_exit() -> | trace_irq_work_exit() -> | ... | __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync) | irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty) '--------- arch_irq_work_raise() Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit. To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint. In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a tracepoint perf event.

tracing: Add DEFINE_EVENT_FN() macro

2013-06-21T05:24:32Z

Each TRACE_EVENT() adds several helper functions. If two or more trace events share the same structure and print format, they can also share most of these helper functions and save a lot of space from duplicate code. This is why the DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() were created. Some events require a trigger to be called at registering and unregistering of the event and to do so they use TRACE_EVENT_FN(). If multiple events require a trigger, they currently have no choice but to use TRACE_EVENT_FN() as there's no DEFINE_EVENT_FN() available. This unfortunately causes a lot of wasted duplicate code created. By adding a DEFINE_EVENT_FN(), these events can still use a DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and then define their own triggers.

trace: Allow idle-safe tracepoints to be called from irq

2013-06-10T20:37:10Z

__DECLARE_TRACE_RCU() currently creates an _rcuidle() tracepoint which may safely be invoked from what RCU considers to be an idle CPU. However, these _rcuidle() tracepoints may -not- be invoked from the handler of an irq taken from idle, because rcu_idle_enter() zeroes RCU's nesting-level counter, so that the rcu_irq_exit() returning to idle will trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE(). This commit therefore substitutes rcu_irq_enter() for rcu_idle_exit() and rcu_irq_exit() for rcu_idle_enter() in order to make the _rcuidle() tracepoints usable from irq handlers as well as from process context.

trace: Don't declare trace_*_rcuidle functions in modules

2012-09-12T14:20:14Z

Tracepoints declare a static inline trace_*_rcuidle variant of the trace function, to support safely generating trace events from the idle loop. Module code never actually uses that variant of trace functions, because modules don't run code that needs tracing with RCU idled. However, the declaration of those otherwise unused functions causes the module to reference rcu_idle_exit and rcu_idle_enter, which RCU does not export to modules. To avoid this, don't generate trace_*_rcuidle functions for tracepoints declared in module code.
