ftrace: Handle tracing when switching between context

2020-11-10T11:37:28Z

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

2020-11-10T11:37:28Z

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: Move pipe reference to trace array instead of current_tracer

2020-08-21T11:05:27Z

commit 7ef282e05132d56b6f6b71e3873f317664bea78b upstream. If a process has the trace_pipe open on a trace_array, the current tracer for that trace array should not be changed. This was original enforced by a global lock, but when instances were introduced, it was moved to the current_trace. But this structure is shared by all instances, and a trace_pipe is for a single instance. There's no reason that a process that has trace_pipe open on one instance should prevent another instance from changing its current tracer. Move the reference counter to the trace_array instead. This is marked as "Fixes" but is more of a clean up than a true fix. Backport if you want, but its not critical.

ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync

[ Upstream commit 54a16ff6f2e50775145b210bcd94d62c3c2af117 ] As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.

ftrace: Add comment to why rcu_dereference_sched() is open coded

2020-02-11T12:35:28Z

[ Upstream commit 16052dd5bdfa16dbe18d8c1d4cde2ddab9d23177 ] Because the function graph tracer can execute in sections where RCU is not "watching", the rcu_dereference_sched() for the has needs to be open coded. This is fine because the RCU "flavor" of the ftrace hash is protected by its own RCU handling (it does its own little synchronization on every CPU and does not rely on RCU sched).

tracing: Add tracing_check_open_get_tr()

2019-10-13T00:44:07Z

Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is disabled until reboot. As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array, then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and the trace_array associated with it freed). Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to tracefs later.

tracing: Have trace events system open call tracing_open_generic_tr()

2019-10-13T00:43:00Z

Instead of having the trace events system open call open code the taking of the trace_array descriptor (with trace_array_get()) and then calling trace_open_generic(), have it use the tracing_open_generic_tr() that does the combination of the two. This requires making tracing_open_generic_tr() global. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Fix clang -Wint-in-bool-context warnings in IF_ASSIGN macro

2019-09-28T21:13:39Z

After r372664 in clang, the IF_ASSIGN macro causes a couple hundred warnings along the lines of: kernel/trace/trace_output.c:1331:2: warning: converting the enum constant to a boolean [-Wint-in-bool-context] kernel/trace/trace.h:409:3: note: expanded from macro 'trace_assign_type' IF_ASSIGN(var, ent, struct ftrace_graph_ret_entry, ^ kernel/trace/trace.h:371:14: note: expanded from macro 'IF_ASSIGN' WARN_ON(id && (entry)->type != id); \ ^ 264 warnings generated. This warning can catch issues with constructs like: if (state == A || B) where the developer really meant: if (state == A || state == B) This is currently the only occurrence of the warning in the kernel tree across defconfig, allyesconfig, allmodconfig for arm32, arm64, and x86_64. Add the implicit '!= 0' to the WARN_ON statement to fix the warnings and find potential issues in the future.
