tracing: Remove extra space at the end of hwlat_detector/mode

2023-09-02T01:00:00Z

Space is printed after each mode value including the last one: $ echo \"$(sudo cat /sys/kernel/tracing/hwlat_detector/mode)\" "none [round-robin] per-cpu " Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

tracing/hwlat: Replace sched_setaffinity with set_cpus_allowed_ptr

2023-03-19T17:23:22Z

There is a problem with the behavior of hwlat in a container, resulting in incorrect output. A warning message is generated: "cpumask changed while in round-robin mode, switching to mode none", and the tracing_cpumask is ignored. This issue arises because the kernel thread, hwlatd, is not a part of the container, and the function sched_setaffinity is unable to locate it using its PID. Additionally, the task_struct of hwlatd is already known. Ultimately, the function set_cpus_allowed_ptr achieves the same outcome as sched_setaffinity, but employs task_struct instead of PID. Test case: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on # echo round-robin > hwlat_detector/mode # echo hwlat > current_tracer # unshare --fork --pid bash -c 'echo 1 > tracing_on' # dmesg -c Actual behavior: [573502.809060] hwlat_detector: cpumask changed while in round-robin mode, switching to mode none Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20230316144535.1004952-1-costa.shul@redhat.com Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Fixes: 0330f7aa8ee63 ("tracing: Have hwlat trace migrate across tracing_cpumask CPUs") Signed-off-by: Costa Shulyupin Acked-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)

trace/hwlat: Do not start per-cpu thread if it is already running

2023-03-19T16:20:49Z

The hwlatd tracer will end up starting multiple per-cpu threads with the following script: #!/bin/sh cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo 0 > tracing_on echo hwlat > current_tracer echo per-cpu > hwlat_detector/mode echo 100000 > hwlat_detector/width echo 200000 > hwlat_detector/window echo 1 > tracing_on To fix the issue, check if the hwlatd thread for the cpu is already running, before starting a new one. Along with the previous patch, this avoids running multiple instances of the same CPU thread on the system.

trace/hwlat: Do not wipe the contents of per-cpu thread data

2023-03-19T16:20:48Z

Do not wipe the contents of the per-cpu kthread data when starting the tracer, as this will completely forget about already running instances and can later start new additional per-cpu threads.

tracing/hwlat: Make some internal symbols static

2021-10-26T13:18:28Z

The sparse tool complains as follows: kernel/trace/trace_hwlat.c:82:27: warning: symbol 'hwlat_single_cpu_data' was not declared. Should it be static? kernel/trace/trace_hwlat.c:83:1: warning: symbol '__pcpu_scope_hwlat_per_cpu_data' was not declared. Should it be static? This symbol is not used outside of trace_hwlat.c, so this commit marks it static.

tracing: Disable "other" permission bits in the tracefs files

2021-10-08T22:08:43Z

When building the files in the tracefs file system, do not by default set any permissions for OTH (other). This will make it easier for admins who want to define a group for accessing tracefs and not having to first disable all the permission bits for "other" in the file system. As tracing can leak sensitive information, it should never by default allowing all users access. An admin can still set the permission bits for others to have access, which may be useful for creating a honeypot and seeing who takes advantage of it and roots the machine.

tracing: Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions.

2021-08-17T19:47:14Z

The functions get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() have been deprecated during the CPU hotplug rework. They map directly to cpus_read_lock() and cpus_read_unlock(). Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions with the official version. The behavior remains unchanged.

tracing: Quiet smp_processor_id() use in preemptable warning in hwlat

2021-08-05T13:27:31Z

The hardware latency detector (hwlat) has a mode that it runs one thread across CPUs. The logic to move from the currently running CPU to the next one in the list does a smp_processor_id() to find where it currently is. Unfortunately, it's done with preemption enabled, and this triggers a warning for using smp_processor_id() in a preempt enabled section. As it is only using smp_processor_id() to get information on where it currently is in order to simply move it to the next CPU, it doesn't really care if it got moved in the mean time. It will simply balance out later if such a case arises. Switch smp_processor_id() to raw_smp_processor_id() to quiet that warning.
