tracing/kprobes: Do the notrace functions check without kprobes on ftrace

2021-01-19T17:22:35Z

commit 7bb83f6fc4ee84e95d0ac0d14452c2619fb3fe70 upstream. Enable the notrace function check on the architecture which doesn't support kprobes on ftrace but support dynamic ftrace. This notrace function check is not only for the kprobes on ftrace but also sw-breakpoint based kprobes. Thus there is no reason to limit this check for the arch which supports kprobes on ftrace. This also changes the dependency of Kconfig. Because kprobe event uses the function tracer's address list for identifying notrace function, if the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n, it can not check whether the target function is notrace or not.

Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized

2020-05-20T06:18:45Z

commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75 upstream. We have some rather random rules about when we accept the "maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't. For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size. And then various kernel config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES). And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did. At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings. So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the extra compiler warnings, use W=123". Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not? Yes, it would. In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and our source code would be simpler. That's currently not the world we live in, though.

kbuild: compute false-positive -Wmaybe-uninitialized cases in Kconfig

2020-05-20T06:18:45Z

commit b303c6df80c9f8f13785aa83a0471fca7e38b24d upstream. Since -Wmaybe-uninitialized was introduced by GCC 4.7, we have patched various false positives: - commit e74fc973b6e5 ("Turn off -Wmaybe-uninitialized when building with -Os") turned off this option for -Os. - commit 815eb71e7149 ("Kbuild: disable 'maybe-uninitialized' warning for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES") turned off this option for CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES - commit a76bcf557ef4 ("Kbuild: enable -Wmaybe-uninitialized warning for "make W=1"") turned off this option for GCC < 4.9 Arnd provided more explanation in https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/3/14/903 I think this looks better by shifting the logic from Makefile to Kconfig.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Masami found an off by one bug in the code that keeps "notrace" functions from being traced by kprobes. During my testing, I found that there's places that we may want to add kprobes to notrace, thus we may end up changing this code before 4.19 is released. The history behind this change is that we found that adding kprobes to various notrace functions caused the kernel to crashed. We took the safe route and decided not to allow kprobes to trace any notrace function. But because notrace is added to functions that just cause weird side effects to the function tracer, but are still safe, preventing kprobes for all notrace functios may be too much of a big hammer. One such place is __schedule() is marked notrace, to keep function tracer from doing strange recursive loops when it gets traced with NEED_RESCHED set. With this change, one can not add kprobes to the scheduler. Masami also added code to use gcov on ftrace" * tag 'trace-v4.19-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing/kprobes: Fix to check notrace function with correct range tracing: Allow gcov profiling on only ftrace subsystem

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of a lot of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused. He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately, these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the code was reverted back to where lockdep and the latency tracers just get called directly (without using the trace events). But because the original change cleaned up the code very nicely we kept that, as well as the trace events for preempt and irqs disabling, but they are limited to not being called in NMIs. - Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not allow them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes an NMI safe SRCU API. - New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU. - Addition of mcount-nop option support - SPDX headers replacing GPL templates. - Various other fixes and clean ups. - Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested before the merge window opened. * tag 'trace-v4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (44 commits) tracing: Fix SPDX format headers to use C++ style comments tracing: Add SPDX License format tags to tracing files tracing: Add SPDX License format to bpf_trace.c blktrace: Add SPDX License format header s390/ftrace: Add -mfentry and -mnop-mcount support tracing: Add -mcount-nop option support tracing: Avoid calling cc-option -mrecord-mcount for every Makefile tracing: Handle CC_FLAGS_FTRACE more accurately Uprobe: Additional argument arch_uprobe to uprobe_write_opcode() Uprobes: Simplify uprobe_register() body tracepoints: Free early tracepoints after RCU is initialized uprobes: Use synchronize_rcu() not synchronize_sched() tracing: Fix synchronizing to event changes with tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() ftrace: Remove unused pointer ftrace_swapper_pid tracing: More reverting of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage" tracing/irqsoff: Handle preempt_count for different configs tracing: Partial revert of "tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage" tracing: irqsoff: Account for additional preempt_disable trace: Use rcu_dereference_raw for hooks from trace-event subsystem tracing/kprobes: Fix within_notrace_func() to check only notrace functions ...

tracing: Add -mcount-nop option support

2018-08-16T02:38:38Z

-mcount-nop gcc option generates the calls to the profiling functions as nops which allows to avoid patching mcount jump with NOP instructions initially. -mcount-nop gcc option will be activated if platform selects HAVE_NOP_MCOUNT and gcc actually supports it. In addition to that CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT is defined and could be used by architectures to adapt ftrace patching behavior.

tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage

2018-07-31T15:32:27Z

This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and keeps it separate. Advantages: * Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer have their own calls. * This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson event, and a preemptoff and preempton event. 3 users of the events exist: - Lockdep - irqsoff and preemptoff tracers - irqs and preempt trace events The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in lines of code in this patch is quite large too. In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With this, the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its users becomes: PREEMPT_TRACER PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING | | \ | | \ (selects) / \ \ (selects) / TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE ----> TRACE_IRQFLAGS \ / \ (depends on) / PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are passing. I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed working.

tracing: kprobes: Prohibit probing on notrace function

2018-07-30T22:28:52Z

Prohibit kprobe-events probing on notrace functions. Since probing on a notrace function can cause a recursive event call. In most cases those are just skipped, but in some cases it falls into an infinite recursive call. This protection can be disabled by the kconfig CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y, but it is highly recommended to keep it "n" for normal kernel builds. Note that this is only available if "kprobes on ftrace" has been implemented on the target arch and CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y.
