tracing/kprobes: Avoid self tests if tracing is disabled on boot up

2014-06-06T08:53:39Z

If tracing is disabled on boot up, the kernel should not execute tracing self tests. The kernel should check whether tracing is disabled or not before executing any of the tracing self tests.

kprobes, ftrace: Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro in ftrace

2014-04-24T08:26:39Z

Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro to protect functions from kprobes instead of __kprobes annotation in ftrace. This applies nokprobe_inline annotation for some cases, because NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() will inhibit inlining by referring the symbol address.

kprobes, ftrace: Allow probing on some functions

2014-04-24T08:03:02Z

There is no need to prohibit probing on the functions used for preparation and uprobe only fetch functions. Those are safely probed because those are not invoked from kprobe's breakpoint/fault/debug handlers. So there is no chance to cause recursive exceptions. Following functions are now removed from the kprobes blacklist: update_bitfield_fetch_param free_bitfield_fetch_param kprobe_register FETCH_FUNC_NAME(stack, type) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, type) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, string) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, string_size) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(file_offset, type) in trace_uprobe.c Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Steven Rostedt Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140417081800.26341.56504.stgit@ltc230.yrl.intra.hitachi.co.jp Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints

2014-04-09T00:43:28Z

Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer rather than tracepoint name. This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux size. From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated tracepoint is unloaded. text data bss dec hex filename 10443444 4282528 10391552 25117524 17f4354 vmlinux.orig 10434930 4282848 10391552 25109330 17f2352 vmlinux Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1396992381-23785-2-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com CC: Ingo Molnar CC: Frederic Weisbecker CC: Andrew Morton CC: Frank Ch.

tracing/uprobes: Support ftrace_event_file base multibuffer

2014-02-20T17:30:09Z

Support multi-buffer on uprobe-based dynamic events by using ftrace_event_file. This patch is based kprobe-based dynamic events multibuffer support work initially, commited by Masami(commit 41a7dd420c), but revised as below: Oleg changed the kprobe-based multibuffer design from array-pointers of ftrace_event_file into simple list, so this patch also change to the list design. rcu_read_lock/unlock added into uprobe_trace_func/uretprobe_trace_func, to synchronize with ftrace_event_file list add and delete. Even though we allow multi-uprobes instances now, but TP_FLAG_PROFILE/TP_FLAG_TRACE are still mutually exclusive in probe_event_enable currently, this means we cannot allow one user is using uprobe-tracer, and another user is using perf-probe on same uprobe concurrently. (Perhaps this will be fix in future, kprobe don't have this limitation now) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1389946120-19610-4-git-send-email-namhyung@kernel.org Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu Reviewed-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Srikar Dronamraju Signed-off-by: zhangwei(Jovi) Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Consolidate event trigger code

2014-01-10T02:20:07Z

The event trigger code that checks for callback triggers before and after recording of an event has lots of flags checks. This code is duplicated throughout the ftrace events, kprobes and system calls. They all do the exact same checks against the event flags. Added helper functions ftrace_trigger_soft_disabled(), event_trigger_unlock_commit() and event_trigger_unlock_commit_regs() that consolidated the code and these are used instead.

tracing/kprobes: Add trace event trigger invocations

2014-01-06T20:21:43Z

Add code to the kprobe/kretprobe event functions that will invoke any event triggers associated with a probe's ftrace_event_file. The code to do this is very similar to the invocation code already used to invoke the triggers associated with static events and essentially replaces the existing soft-disable checks with a superset that preserves the original behavior but adds the bits needed to support event triggers.

tracing/uprobes: Add @+file_offset fetch method

2014-01-03T01:57:05Z

Enable to fetch data from a file offset. Currently it only supports fetching from same binary uprobe set. It'll translate the file offset to a proper virtual address in the process. The syntax is "@+OFFSET" as it does similar to normal memory fetching (@ADDR) which does no address translation.

tracing/probes: Implement 'memory' fetch method for uprobes
