tracing: Map all PIDs to command lines

2021-05-22T08:57:23Z

commit 785e3c0a3a870e72dc530856136ab4c8dd207128 upstream. The default max PID is set by PID_MAX_DEFAULT, and the tracing infrastructure uses this number to map PIDs to the comm names of the tasks, such output of the trace can show names from the recorded PIDs in the ring buffer. This mapping is also exported to user space via the "saved_cmdlines" file in the tracefs directory. But currently the mapping expects the PIDs to be less than PID_MAX_DEFAULT, which is the default maximum and not the real maximum. Recently, systemd will increases the maximum value of a PID on the system, and when tasks are traced that have a PID higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT, its comm is not recorded. This leads to the entire trace to have "<...>" as the comm name, which is pretty useless. Instead, keep the array mapping the size of PID_MAX_DEFAULT, but instead of just mapping the index to the comm, map a mask of the PID (PID_MAX_DEFAULT - 1) to the comm, and find the full PID from the map_cmdline_to_pid array (that already exists). This bug goes back to the beginning of ftrace, but hasn't been an issue until user space started increasing the maximum value of PIDs.

tracing: Fix stack trace event size

2021-04-07T10:47:02Z

commit 9deb193af69d3fd6dd8e47f292b67c805a787010 upstream. Commit cbc3b92ce037 fixed an issue to modify the macros of the stack trace event so that user space could parse it properly. Originally the stack trace format to user space showed that the called stack was a dynamic array. But it is not actually a dynamic array, in the way that other dynamic event arrays worked, and this broke user space parsing for it. The update was to make the array look to have 8 entries in it. Helper functions were added to make it parse it correctly, as the stack was dynamic, but was determined by the size of the event stored. Although this fixed user space on how it read the event, it changed the internal structure used for the stack trace event. It changed the array size from [0] to [8] (added 8 entries). This increased the size of the stack trace event by 8 words. The size reserved on the ring buffer was the size of the stack trace event plus the number of stack entries found in the stack trace. That commit caused the amount to be 8 more than what was needed because it did not expect the caller field to have any size. This produced 8 entries of garbage (and reading random data) from the stack trace event: -0 [002] d... 1976396.837549: => trace_event_raw_event_sched_switch => __traceiter_sched_switch => __schedule => schedule_idle => do_idle => cpu_startup_entry => secondary_startup_64_no_verify => 0xc8c5e150ffff93de => 0xffff93de => 0 => 0 => 0xc8c5e17800000000 => 0x1f30affff93de => 0x00000004 => 0x200000000 Instead, subtract the size of the caller field from the size of the event to make sure that only the amount needed to store the stack trace is reserved.

tracing: Check length before giving out the filter buffer

2021-02-23T13:00:31Z

commit b220c049d5196dd94d992dd2dc8cba1a5e6123bf upstream. When filters are used by trace events, a page is allocated on each CPU and used to copy the trace event fields to this page before writing to the ring buffer. The reason to use the filter and not write directly into the ring buffer is because a filter may discard the event and there's more overhead on discarding from the ring buffer than the extra copy. The problem here is that there is no check against the size being allocated when using this page. If an event asks for more than a page size while being filtered, it will get only a page, leading to the caller writing more that what was allocated. Check the length of the request, and if it is more than PAGE_SIZE minus the header default back to allocating from the ring buffer directly. The ring buffer may reject the event if its too big anyway, but it wont overflow.

tracing: Fix userstacktrace option for instances

2020-12-11T12:39:06Z

commit bcee5278958802b40ee8b26679155a6d9231783e upstream. When the instances were able to use their own options, the userstacktrace option was left hardcoded for the top level. This made the instance userstacktrace option bascially into a nop, and will confuse users that set it, but nothing happens (I was confused when it happened to me!)

tracing: Fix out of bounds write in get_trace_buf

2020-11-10T09:29:04Z

commit c1acb4ac1a892cf08d27efcb964ad281728b0545 upstream. The nesting count of trace_printk allows for 4 levels of nesting. The nesting counter starts at zero and is incremented before being used to retrieve the current context's buffer. But the index to the buffer uses the nesting counter after it was incremented, and not its original number, which in needs to do.

tracing: Use address-of operator on section symbols

[ Upstream commit bf2cbe044da275021b2de5917240411a19e5c50d ] Clang warns: ../kernel/trace/trace.c:9335:33: warning: array comparison always evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare] if (__stop___trace_bprintk_fmt != __start___trace_bprintk_fmt) ^ 1 warning generated. These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just addresses.

tracing: Add a vmalloc_sync_mappings() for safe measure

2020-05-20T06:16:58Z

commit 11f5efc3ab66284f7aaacc926e9351d658e2577b upstream. x86_64 lazily maps in the vmalloc pages, and the way this works with per_cpu areas can be complex, to say the least. Mappings may happen at boot up, and if nothing synchronizes the page tables, those page mappings may not be synced till they are used. This causes issues for anything that might touch one of those mappings in the path of the page fault handler. When one of those unmapped mappings is touched in the page fault handler, it will cause another page fault, which in turn will cause a page fault, and leave us in a loop of page faults. Commit 763802b53a42 ("x86/mm: split vmalloc_sync_all()") split vmalloc_sync_all() into vmalloc_sync_unmappings() and vmalloc_sync_mappings(), as on system exit, it did not need to do a full sync on x86_64 (although it still needed to be done on x86_32). By chance, the vmalloc_sync_all() would synchronize the page mappings done at boot up and prevent the per cpu area from being a problem for tracing in the page fault handler. But when that synchronization in the exit of a task became a nop, it caused the problem to appear.

In order to make future changes where we need to call tracing_set_clock() from within an event command, the order of trace_types_lock and event_mutex must be reversed, as the event command will hold event_mutex and the trace_types_lock is taken from within tracing_set_clock().

tracing: Disable trace_printk() on post poned tests

2020-03-11T17:02:50Z

commit 78041c0c9e935d9ce4086feeff6c569ed88ddfd4 upstream. The tracing seftests checks various aspects of the tracing infrastructure, and one is filtering. If trace_printk() is active during a self test, it can cause the filtering to fail, which will disable that part of the trace. To keep the selftests from failing because of trace_printk() calls, trace_printk() checks the variable tracing_selftest_running, and if set, it does not write to the tracing buffer. As some tracers were registered earlier in boot, the selftest they triggered would fail because not all the infrastructure was set up for the full selftest. Thus, some of the tests were post poned to when their infrastructure was ready (namely file system code). The postpone code did not set the tracing_seftest_running variable, and could fail if a trace_printk() was added and executed during their run.
