tracing: Fix userstacktrace option for instances

2020-12-11T12:38:01Z

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!)

ftrace: Handle tracing when switching between context

2020-11-10T09:24:02Z

commit 726b3d3f141fba6f841d715fc4d8a4a84f02c02a upstream. When an interrupt or NMI comes in and switches the context, there's a delay from when the preempt_count() shows the update. As the preempt_count() is used to detect recursion having each context have its own bit get set when tracing starts, and if that bit is already set, it is considered a recursion and the function exits. But if this happens in that section where context has changed but preempt_count() has not been updated, this will be incorrectly flagged as a recursion. To handle this case, create another bit call TRANSITION and test it if the current context bit is already set. Flag the call as a recursion if the TRANSITION bit is already set, and if not, set it and continue. The TRANSITION bit will be cleared normally on the return of the function that set it, or if the current context bit is clear, set it and clear the TRANSITION bit to allow for another transition between the current context and an even higher one.

ftrace: Fix recursion check for NMI test

2020-11-10T09:24:02Z

commit ee11b93f95eabdf8198edd4668bf9102e7248270 upstream. The code that checks recursion will work to only do the recursion check once if there's nested checks. The top one will do the check, the other nested checks will see recursion was already checked and return zero for its "bit". On the return side, nothing will be done if the "bit" is zero. The problem is that zero is returned for the "good" bit when in NMI context. This will set the bit for NMIs making it look like *all* NMI tracing is recursing, and prevent tracing of anything in NMI context! The simple fix is to return "bit + 1" and subtract that bit on the end to get the real bit.

tracing: Silence GCC 9 array bounds warning

2019-07-10T07:55:28Z

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.

ftrace: Fix function pid filter on instances

2017-04-21T07:31:22Z

commit d879d0b8c183aabeb9a65eba91f3f9e3c7e7b905 upstream. When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch to track if current task can be ignored. The probe checks the ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks. But it misses to delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free). This is easily reproducible with the following: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # mkdir instances/buggy # echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid # rmdir instances/buggy ============================================================================ BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90 Read of size 8 by task kworker/0:1/17 CPU: 0 PID: 17 Comm: kworker/0:1 Tainted: G B 4.11.0-rc3 #198 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x9f kasan_object_err+0x21/0x70 kasan_report.part.1+0x22b/0x500 ? ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90 kasan_report+0x25/0x30 __asan_load8+0x5e/0x70 ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90 ? fpid_start+0x130/0x130 __schedule+0x571/0xce0 ... To fix it, use ftrace_clear_pids() to unregister the probe. As instance_rmdir() already updated ftrace codes, it can just free the filter safely.

tracing: Have max_latency be defined for HWLAT_TRACER as well

2016-09-12T13:59:46Z

The hwlat tracer uses tr->max_latency, and if it's the only tracer enabled that uses it, the build will fail. Add max_latency and its file when the hwlat tracer is enabled.

tracing: Added hardware latency tracer

2016-09-02T16:47:51Z

The hardware latency tracer has been in the PREEMPT_RT patch for some time. It is used to detect possible SMIs or any other hardware interruptions that the kernel is unaware of. Note, NMIs may also be detected, but that may be good to note as well. The logic is pretty simple. It simply creates a thread that spins on a single CPU for a specified amount of time (width) within a periodic window (window). These numbers may be adjusted by their cooresponding names in /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/ The defaults are window = 1000000 us (1 second) width = 500000 us (1/2 second) The loop consists of: t1 = trace_clock_local(); t2 = trace_clock_local(); Where trace_clock_local() is a variant of sched_clock(). The difference of t2 - t1 is recorded as the "inner" timestamp and also the timestamp t1 - prev_t2 is recorded as the "outer" timestamp. If either of these differences are greater than the time denoted in /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_thresh then it records the event. When this tracer is started, and tracing_thresh is zero, it changes to the default threshold of 10 us. The hwlat tracer in the PREEMPT_RT patch was originally written by Jon Masters. I have modified it quite a bit and turned it into a tracer. Based-on-code-by: Jon Masters Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

ftrace: Reduce size of function graph entries

2016-07-05T21:28:30Z

Currently ftrace_graph_ent{,_entry} and ftrace_graph_ret{,_entry} struct can have padding bytes at the end due to alignment in 64-bit data type. As these data are recorded so frequently, those paddings waste non-negligible space. As the ring buffer maintains alignment properly for each architecture, just to remove the extra padding using 'packed' attribute. ftrace_graph_ent_entry: 24 -> 20 ftrace_graph_ret_entry: 48 -> 44 Also I moved the 'overrun' field in struct ftrace_graph_ret to minimize the padding in the middle. Tested on x86_64 only.

ftrace: Move toplevel init out of ftrace_init_tracefs()

2016-07-05T14:47:03Z

Commit 345ddcc882d8 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events do") placed ftrace_init_tracefs into the instance creation, and encapsulated the top level updating with an if conditional, as the top level only gets updated at boot up. Unfortunately, this triggers section mismatch errors as the init functions are called from a function that can be called later, and the section mismatch logic is unaware of the if conditional that would prevent it from happening at run time. To make everyone happy, create a separate ftrace_init_tracefs_toplevel() routine that only gets called by init functions, and this will be what calls other init functions for the toplevel directory.

ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events do

2016-06-20T13:54:19Z

Convert set_ftrace_pid to use the bitmap like set_event_pid does. This allows for instances to use the pid filtering as well, and will allow for function-fork option to set if the children of a traced function should be traced or not. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
