tracing: Initialize iter->seq after zeroing in tracing_read_pipe()

There is no loop. So, it must be looping in the caller tracing_read_pipe() via the "waitagain" label. Crashdump analyze uncovered that iter->seq was completely zeroed at this point, including iter->seq.seq.size. It means that print_trace_line() was never able to print anything and there was no forward progress. The culprit seems to be in the code: /* reset all but tr, trace, and overruns */ memset(&iter->seq, 0, sizeof(struct trace_iterator) - offsetof(struct trace_iterator, seq)); It was added by the commit 53d0aa773053ab182877 ("ftrace: add logic to record overruns"). It was v2.6.27-rc1. It was the time when iter->seq looked like: struct trace_seq { unsigned char buffer[PAGE_SIZE]; unsigned int len; }; There was no "size" variable and zeroing was perfectly fine. The solution is to reinitialize the structure after or without zeroing.

tracing: Get trace_array reference for available_tracers files

2019-10-17T20:41:05Z

commit 194c2c74f5532e62c218adeb8e2b683119503907 upstream. As instances may have different tracers available, we need to look at the trace_array descriptor that shows the list of the available tracers for the instance. But there's a race between opening the file and an admin deleting the instance. The trace_array_get() needs to be called before accessing the trace_array.

tracing/snapshot: Resize spare buffer if size changed

2019-08-04T07:34:50Z

commit 46cc0b44428d0f0e81f11ea98217fc0edfbeab07 upstream. Current snapshot implementation swaps two ring_buffers even though their sizes are different from each other, that can cause an inconsistency between the contents of buffer_size_kb file and the current buffer size.

tracing: Silence GCC 9 array bounds warning

2019-07-10T07:56:31Z

commit 0c97bf863efce63d6ab7971dad811601e6171d2f upstream. Starting with GCC 9, -Warray-bounds detects cases when memset is called starting on a member of a struct but the size to be cleared ends up writing over further members. Such a call happens in the trace code to clear, at once, all members after and including `seq` on struct trace_iterator: In function 'memset', inlined from 'ftrace_dump' at kernel/trace/trace.c:8914:3: ./include/linux/string.h:344:9: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset [8505, 8560] from the object at 'iter' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'seq' with type 'struct trace_seq' at offset 4368 [-Warray-bounds] 344 | return __builtin_memset(p, c, size); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In order to avoid GCC complaining about it, we compute the address ourselves by adding the offsetof distance instead of referring directly to the member. Since there are two places doing this clear (trace.c and trace_kdb.c), take the chance to move the workaround into a single place in the internal header.

tracing: kdb: Fix ftdump to not sleep

2019-04-27T07:33:48Z

[ Upstream commit 31b265b3baaf55f209229888b7ffea523ddab366 ] As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context". kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in atomic context. A very simple solution for this is to add allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without triggering the allocation error. This patch does that. Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer ahead of time or create our own iterator. I'm hoping that this alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already allocated). NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the duplication. This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer). The downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer. Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump | grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it will throw away the whole trace on the first grep. A future patch to dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to implement.

tracing: Do not free iter->trace in fail path of tracing_open_pipe()

2019-03-23T07:44:35Z

commit e7f0c424d0806b05d6f47be9f202b037eb701707 upstream. Commit d716ff71dd12 ("tracing: Remove taking of trace_types_lock in pipe files") use the current tracer instead of the copy in tracing_open_pipe(), but it forget to remove the freeing sentence in the error path. There's an error path that can call kfree(iter->trace) after the iter->trace was assigned to tr->current_trace, which would be bad to free.

tracing: Skip more functions when doing stack tracing of events

One issue is that if the stacktrace passes its own "regs" then there should be no addition to the skip, as the regs will not include the functions being called. This was an issue that was fixed by commit 7717c6be6999 ("tracing: Fix stacktrace skip depth in trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs()" as adding the skip number for kprobes made the probes not have any stack at all. But since this is only an issue when regs is being used, a skip should be added if regs is NULL. Now we have: # echo 1 > options/stacktrace # echo 1 > events/sched/sched_switch/enable # cat trace -0 [000] d..2 1297.676333: => __schedule => schedule => schedule_preempt_disabled => cpu_startup_entry => rest_init => start_kernel => x86_64_start_reservations => x86_64_start_kernel # echo stacktrace > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger # cat trace -0 [002] d..3 1370.759745: => __schedule => schedule => schedule_preempt_disabled => cpu_startup_entry => start_secondary And kprobes are not touched.

tracing: Do not call start/stop() functions when tracing_on does not change

2018-09-09T18:04:34Z

commit f143641bfef9a4a60c57af30de26c63057e7e695 upstream. Currently, when one echo's in 1 into tracing_on, the current tracer's "start()" function is executed, even if tracing_on was already one. This can lead to strange side effects. One being that if the hwlat tracer is enabled, and someone does "echo 1 > tracing_on" into tracing_on, the hwlat tracer's start() function is called again which will recreate another kernel thread, and make it unable to remove the old one.

ring_buffer: tracing: Inherit the tracing setting to next ring buffer

2018-08-09T10:19:28Z

commit 73c8d8945505acdcbae137c2e00a1232e0be709f upstream. Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching to the trace buffer snapshot. Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer (max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.
