tracing: Fix complicated dependency of CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE

2022-12-10T04:48:05Z

Both CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER and CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER partially enables the CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE code, but that is complicated and has introduced a bug; It declares tracing_max_lat_fops data structure outside of #ifdefs, but since it is defined only when CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE=y or CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER=y, if only CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER=y, that declaration comes to a definition(!). To fix this issue, and do not repeat the similar problem, makes CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER and CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER enables the CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE always. It has there benefits; - Fix the tracing_max_lat_fops bug - Simplify the #ifdefs - CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE code is fully enabled, or not.

ftrace: abstract DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS accesses

2022-11-18T13:56:41Z

In subsequent patches we'll arrange for architectures to have an ftrace_regs which is entirely distinct from pt_regs. In preparation for this, we need to minimize the use of pt_regs to where strictly necessary in the core ftrace code. This patch adds new ftrace_regs_{get,set}_*() helpers which can be used to manipulate ftrace_regs. When CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=y, these can always be used on any ftrace_regs, and when CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n these can be used when regs are available. A new ftrace_regs_has_args(fregs) helper is added which code can use to check when these are usable.

objtool: Add --mnop as an option to --mcount

2022-11-18T08:00:16Z

Some architectures (powerpc) may not support ftrace locations being nop'ed out at build time. Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_OBJTOOL_NOP_MCOUNT for objtool, as a means for architectures to enable nop'ing of ftrace locations. Add --mnop as an option to objtool --mcount, to indicate support for the same. Also, make sure that --mnop can be passed as an option to objtool only when --mcount is passed. Tested-by: Naveen N.

rv: Add Runtime Verification (RV) interface

2022-07-30T18:01:28Z

RV is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method that complements classical exhaustive verification techniques (such as model checking and theorem proving) with a more practical approach to complex systems. RV works by analyzing the trace of the system's actual execution, comparing it against a formal specification of the system behavior. RV can give precise information on the runtime behavior of the monitored system while enabling the reaction for unexpected events, avoiding, for example, the propagation of a failure on safety-critical systems. The development of this interface roots in the development of the paper: De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot; Cucinotta, Tommaso; De Oliveira, Romulo Silva. Efficient formal verification for the Linux kernel. In: International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods. Springer, Cham, 2019. p. 315-332. And: De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot. Automata-based formal analysis and verification of the real-time Linux kernel. PhD Thesis, 2020. The RV interface resembles the tracing/ interface on purpose. The current path for the RV interface is /sys/kernel/tracing/rv/. It presents these files: "available_monitors" - List the available monitors, one per line. For example: # cat available_monitors wip wwnr "enabled_monitors" - Lists the enabled monitors, one per line; - Writing to it enables a given monitor; - Writing a monitor name with a '!' prefix disables it; - Truncating the file disables all enabled monitors. For example: # cat enabled_monitors # echo wip > enabled_monitors # echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors # cat enabled_monitors wip wwnr # echo '!wip' >> enabled_monitors # cat enabled_monitors wwnr # echo > enabled_monitors # cat enabled_monitors # Note that more than one monitor can be enabled concurrently. "monitoring_on" - It is an on/off general switcher for monitoring. Note that it does not disable enabled monitors or detach events, but stop the per-entity monitors of monitoring the events received from the system. It resembles the "tracing_on" switcher. "monitors/" Each monitor will have its one directory inside "monitors/". There the monitor specific files will be presented. The "monitors/" directory resembles the "events" directory on tracefs. For example: # cd monitors/wip/ # ls desc enable # cat desc wakeup in preemptive per-cpu testing monitor. # cat enable 0 For further information, see the comments in the header of kernel/trace/rv/rv.c from this patch.

ftrace: Be more specific about arch impact when function tracer is enabled

2022-07-12T20:36:34Z

It was brought up that on ARMv7, that because the FUNCTION_TRACER does not use nops to keep function tracing disabled because of the use of a link register, it does have some performance impact. The start of functions when -pg is used to compile the kernel is: push {lr} bl 8010e7c0 <__gnu_mcount_nc> When function tracing is tuned off, it becomes: push {lr} add sp, sp, #4 Which just puts the stack back to its normal location. But these two instructions at the start of every function does incur some overhead. Be more honest in the Kconfig FUNCTION_TRACER description and specify that the overhead being in the noise was x86 specific, but other architectures may vary.

Pull objtool updates from Ingo Molnar: - Comprehensive interface overhaul: ================================= Objtool's interface has some issues: - Several features are done unconditionally, without any way to turn them off. Some of them might be surprising. This makes objtool tricky to use, and prevents porting individual features to other arches. - The config dependencies are too coarse-grained. Objtool enablement is tied to CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION, but it has several other features independent of that. - The objtool subcmds ("check" and "orc") are clumsy: "check" is really a subset of "orc", so it has all the same options. The subcmd model has never really worked for objtool, as it only has a single purpose: "do some combination of things on an object file". - The '--lto' and '--vmlinux' options are nonsensical and have surprising behavior. Overhaul the interface: - get rid of subcmds - make all features individually selectable - remove and/or clarify confusing/obsolete options - update the documentation - fix some bugs found along the way - Fix x32 regression - Fix Kbuild cleanup bugs - Add scripts/objdump-func helper script to disassemble a single function from an object file. - Rewrite scripts/faddr2line to be section-aware, by basing it on 'readelf', moving it away from 'nm', which doesn't handle multiple sections well, which can result in decoding failure. - Rewrite & fix symbol handling - which had a number of bugs wrt. object files that don't have global symbols - which is rare but possible. Also fix a bunch of symbol handling bugs found along the way. * tag 'objtool-core-2022-05-23' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (23 commits) objtool: Fix objtool regression on x32 systems objtool: Fix symbol creation scripts/faddr2line: Fix overlapping text section failures scripts: Create objdump-func helper script objtool: Remove libsubcmd.a when make clean objtool: Remove inat-tables.c when make clean objtool: Update documentation objtool: Remove --lto and --vmlinux in favor of --link objtool: Add HAVE_NOINSTR_VALIDATION objtool: Rename "VMLINUX_VALIDATION" -> "NOINSTR_VALIDATION" objtool: Make noinstr hacks optional objtool: Make jump label hack optional objtool: Make static call annotation optional objtool: Make stack validation frame-pointer-specific objtool: Add CONFIG_OBJTOOL objtool: Extricate sls from stack validation objtool: Rework ibt and extricate from stack validation objtool: Make stack validation optional objtool: Add option to print section addresses objtool: Don't print parentheses in function addresses ...
