tracing: Do not count ftrace events in top level enable output

2021-02-23T12:58:12Z

commit 256cfdd6fdf70c6fcf0f7c8ddb0ebd73ce8f3bc9 upstream. The file /sys/kernel/tracing/events/enable is used to enable all events by echoing in "1", or disabling all events when echoing in "0". To know if all events are enabled, disabled, or some are enabled but not all of them, cating the file should show either "1" (all enabled), "0" (all disabled), or "X" (some enabled but not all of them). This works the same as the "enable" files in the individule system directories (like tracing/events/sched/enable). But when all events are enabled, the top level "enable" file shows "X". The reason is that its checking the "ftrace" events, which are special events that only exist for their format files. These include the format for the function tracer events, that are enabled when the function tracer is enabled, but not by the "enable" file. The check includes these events, which will always be disabled, and even though all true events are enabled, the top level "enable" file will show "X" instead of "1". To fix this, have the check test the event's flags to see if it has the "IGNORE_ENABLE" flag set, and if so, not test it.

tracing: Fix partial reading of trace event's id file

2019-06-11T10:23:46Z

commit cbe08bcbbe787315c425dde284dcb715cfbf3f39 upstream. When reading only part of the id file, the ppos isn't tracked correctly. This is taken care by simple_read_from_buffer. Reading a single byte, and then the next byte would result EOF. While this seems like not a big deal, this breaks abstractions that reads information from files unbuffered. See for example https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29399 This code was mentioned as problematic in commit cd458ba9d5a5 ("tracing: Do not (ab)use trace_seq in event_id_read()") An example C code that show this bug is: #include #include #include #include #include #include int main(int argc, char **argv) { if (argc < 2) return 1; int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY); char c; read(fd, &c, 1); printf("First %c\n", c); read(fd, &c, 1); printf("Second %c\n", c); } Then run with, e.g. sudo ./a.out /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_set_state/id You'll notice you're getting the first character twice, instead of the first two characters in the id file.

tracing: Fix converting enum's from the map in trace_event_eval_update()

2018-01-23T18:50:16Z

commit 1ebe1eaf2f02784921759992ae1fde1a9bec8fd0 upstream. Since enums do not get converted by the TRACE_EVENT macro into their values, the event format displaces the enum name and not the value. This breaks tools like perf and trace-cmd that need to interpret the raw binary data. To solve this, an enum map was created to convert these enums into their actual numbers on boot up. This is done by TRACE_EVENTS() adding a TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro. Some enums were not being converted. This was caused by an optization that had a bug in it. All calls get checked against this enum map to see if it should be converted or not, and it compares the call's system to the system that the enum map was created under. If they match, then they call is processed. To cut down on the number of iterations needed to find the maps with a matching system, since calls and maps are grouped by system, when a match is made, the index into the map array is saved, so that the next call, if it belongs to the same system as the previous call, could start right at that array index and not have to scan all the previous arrays. The problem was, the saved index was used as the variable to know if this is a call in a new system or not. If the index was zero, it was assumed that the call is in a new system and would keep incrementing the saved index until it found a matching system. The issue arises when the first matching system was at index zero. The next map, if it belonged to the same system, would then think it was the first match and increment the index to one. If the next call belong to the same system, it would begin its search of the maps off by one, and miss the first enum that should be converted. This left a single enum not converted properly. Also add a comment to describe exactly what that index was for. It took me a bit too long to figure out what I was thinking when debugging this issue.

tracing: Don't display trigger file for events that can't be enabled

2016-05-11T09:21:13Z

commit 854145e0a8e9a05f7366d240e2f99d9c1ca6d6dd upstream. Currently register functions for events will be called through the 'reg' field of event class directly without any check when seting up triggers. Triggers for events that don't support register through debug fs (events under events/ftrace are for trace-cmd to read event format, and most of them don't have a register function except events/ftrace/functionx) can't be enabled at all, and an oops will be hit when setting up trigger for those events, so just not creating them is an easy way to avoid the oops.

tracing: Do not have 'comm' filter override event 'comm' field

2016-03-09T23:34:52Z

commit e57cbaf0eb006eaa207395f3bfd7ce52c1b5539c upstream. Commit 9f61668073a8d "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event. That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated. echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash" itself gets migrated. This fix requires a couple of changes. 1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events fields before looking at the generic filters. 2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function. 3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field. Do the same for "cpu" field, adding a FILTER_CPU and a filter "CPU".

tracing: Fix showing function event in available_events

2016-03-03T23:07:29Z

commit d045437a169f899dfb0f6f7ede24cc042543ced9 upstream. The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an "enable" file in its event directory. Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where it was not compatible for. Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable" added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory, which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event. One documented way to enable all events is to: cat available_events > set_event But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this now causes an INVALID error: cat: write error: Invalid argument Reported-by: Chunyu Hu Fixes: 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tracing: Add sched_wakeup_new and sched_waking tracepoints for pid filter

2015-12-01T21:08:05Z

The set_event_pid filter relies on attaching to the sched_switch and sched_wakeup tracepoints to see if it should filter the tracing on schedule tracepoints. By adding the callbacks to sched_wakeup, pids in the set_event_pid file will trace the wakeups of those tasks with those pids. But sched_wakeup_new and sched_waking were missed. These two should also be traced. Luckily, these tracepoints share the same class as sched_wakeup which means they can use the same pre and post callbacks as sched_wakeup does.

It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible when the tracer is active in the trace_options file. - Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific options are global) - New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee pids" * tag 'trace-v4.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (68 commits) tracefs: Fix refcount imbalance in start_creating() tracing: Put back comma for empty fields in boot string parsing tracing: Apply tracer specific options from kernel command line. tracing: Add some documentation about set_event_pid ring_buffer: Remove unneeded smp_wmb() before wakeup of reader benchmark tracing: Allow dumping traces without tracking trace started cpus ring_buffer: Fix more races when terminating the producer in the benchmark ring_buffer: Do no not complete benchmark reader too early tracing: Remove redundant TP_ARGS redefining tracing: Rename max_stack_lock to stack_trace_max_lock tracing: Allow arch-specific stack tracer recordmcount: arm64: Replace the ignored mcount call into nop recordmcount: Fix endianness handling bug for nop_mcount tracepoints: Fix documentation of RCU lockdep checks tracing: ftrace_event_is_function() can return boolean tracing: is_legal_op() can return boolean ring-buffer: rb_event_is_commit() can return boolean ring-buffer: rb_per_cpu_empty() can return boolean ring_buffer: ring_buffer_empty{cpu}() can return boolean ring-buffer: rb_is_reader_page() can return boolean ...

tracing: Put back comma for empty fields in boot string parsing

2015-11-04T03:15:14Z

Both early_enable_events() and apply_trace_boot_options() parse a boot string that may get parsed later on. They both use strsep() which converts a comma into a nul character. To still allow the boot string to be parsed again the same way, the nul character gets converted back to a comma after the token is processed. The problem is that these two functions check for an empty parameter (two commas in a row ",,"), and continue the loop if the parameter is empty, but fails to place the comma back. In this case, the second parsing will end at this blank field, and not process fields afterward. In most cases, users should not have an empty field, but if its going to be checked, the code might as well be correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
