tracing: Use trace_sched_process_free() instead of exit() for pid tracing

2020-08-21T11:05:27Z

commit afcab636657421f7ebfa0783a91f90256bba0091 upstream. On exit, if a process is preempted after the trace_sched_process_exit() tracepoint but before the process is done exiting, then when it gets scheduled in, the function tracers will not filter it properly against the function tracing pid filters. That is because the function tracing pid filters hooks to the sched_process_exit() tracepoint to remove the exiting task's pid from the filter list. Because the filtering happens at the sched_switch tracepoint, when the exiting task schedules back in to finish up the exit, it will no longer be in the function pid filtering tables. This was noticeable in the notrace self tests on a preemptable kernel, as the tests would fail as it exits and preempted after being taken off the notrace filter table and on scheduling back in it would not be in the notrace list, and then the ending of the exit function would trace. The test detected this and would fail.

tracing: Fix lock inversion in trace_event_enable_tgid_record()

2020-01-09T09:19:59Z

commit 3a53acf1d9bea11b57c1f6205e3fe73f9d8a3688 upstream. Task T2 Task T3 trace_options_core_write() subsystem_open() mutex_lock(trace_types_lock) mutex_lock(event_mutex) set_tracer_flag() trace_event_enable_tgid_record() mutex_lock(trace_types_lock) mutex_lock(event_mutex) This gives a circular dependency deadlock between trace_types_lock and event_mutex. To fix this invert the usage of trace_types_lock and event_mutex in trace_options_core_write(). This keeps the sequence of lock usage consistent.

tracing: Add locked_down checks to the open calls of files created for tracefs

2019-10-13T00:48:06Z

Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown mode, and if so, to return -EPERM. Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines) as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been modified.

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)

2019-09-17T00:25:49Z

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: - MAINTAINERS: Add Mark Rutland as perf submaintainer, Juri Lelli and Vincent Guittot as scheduler submaintainers. Add Dietmar Eggemann, Steven Rostedt, Ben Segall and Mel Gorman as scheduler reviewers. As perf and the scheduler is getting bigger and more complex, document the status quo of current responsibilities and interests, and spread the review pain^H^H^H^H fun via an increase in the Cc: linecount generated by scripts/get_maintainer.pl. :-) - Add another series of patches that brings the -rt (PREEMPT_RT) tree closer to mainline: split the monolithic CONFIG_PREEMPT dependencies into a new CONFIG_PREEMPTION category that will allow the eventual introduction of CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Still a few more hundred patches to go though. - Extend the CPU cgroup controller with uclamp.min and uclamp.max to allow the finer shaping of CPU bandwidth usage. - Micro-optimize energy-aware wake-ups from O(CPUS^2) to O(CPUS). - Improve the behavior of high CPU count, high thread count applications running under cpu.cfs_quota_us constraints. - Improve balancing with SCHED_IDLE (SCHED_BATCH) tasks present. - Improve CPU isolation housekeeping CPU allocation NUMA locality. - Fix deadline scheduler bandwidth calculations and logic when cpusets rebuilds the topology, or when it gets deadline-throttled while it's being offlined. - Convert the cpuset_mutex to percpu_rwsem, to allow it to be used from setscheduler() system calls without creating global serialization. Add new synchronization between cpuset topology-changing events and the deadline acceptance tests in setscheduler(), which were broken before. - Rework the active_mm state machine to be less confusing and more optimal. - Rework (simplify) the pick_next_task() slowpath. - Improve load-balancing on AMD EPYC systems. - ... and misc cleanups, smaller fixes and improvements - please see the Git log for more details. * 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (53 commits) sched/psi: Correct overly pessimistic size calculation sched/fair: Speed-up energy-aware wake-ups sched/uclamp: Always use 'enum uclamp_id' for clamp_id values sched/uclamp: Update CPU's refcount on TG's clamp changes sched/uclamp: Use TG's clamps to restrict TASK's clamps sched/uclamp: Propagate system defaults to the root group sched/uclamp: Propagate parent clamps sched/uclamp: Extend CPU's cgroup controller sched/topology: Improve load balancing on AMD EPYC systems arch, ia64: Make NUMA select SMP sched, perf: MAINTAINERS update, add submaintainers and reviewers sched/fair: Use rq_lock/unlock in online_fair_sched_group cpufreq: schedutil: fix equation in comment sched: Rework pick_next_task() slow-path sched: Allow put_prev_task() to drop rq->lock sched/fair: Expose newidle_balance() sched: Add task_struct pointer to sched_class::set_curr_task sched: Rework CPU hotplug task selection sched/{rt,deadline}: Fix set_next_task vs pick_next_task sched: Fix kerneldoc comment for ia64_set_curr_task ...

tracing: Make exported ftrace_set_clr_event non-static

2019-08-31T10:51:49Z

The function ftrace_set_clr_event is declared static and marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which is at best an odd combination. Because the function was decided to be a part of API, this commit removes the static attribute and adds the declaration to the header.

tracing: Use CONFIG_PREEMPTION

2019-07-31T17:03:35Z

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same functionality which today depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT. Switch the conditionals in the tracer over to CONFIG_PREEMPTION. This is the first step to make the tracer work on RT. The other small tweaks are submitted separately.

tracing: Make trace_get_fields() global

2019-07-16T19:14:48Z

trace_get_fields() is the only way to read tracepoint fields at run time, as their fields are defined at compile-time with macros. Make this function visible to all users and it will be used by trace event injection code to calculate the size of a tracepoint entry.

tracing: Make a separate config for trace event self tests

2019-05-26T03:04:43Z

The trace event self tests enable loop through *all* events, enables each one, one at a time, runs some code to trigger various events (not necessarily the same events), and checks if anything went wrong. The issue is that trace events are usually the least likely start up test to cause a problem, but they take the longest to run (because there are so many events). When one of the other tests trigger a bug, the trace event start up tests causes the bisect to take much longer, because it takes 10s of seconds to get through the trace event tests. By making them a separate config (even though they are enabled by default if start up tests are set), it is possible to turn them off and still run the other tracing start up tests much quicker.
