tracing: Fix outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter when use trace_clock

2013-06-11T17:58:46Z

Outputting formats of x86-tsc and counter should be a raw format, but after applying the patch(2b6080f28c7cc3efc8625ab71495aae89aeb63a0), the format was changed to nanosec. This is because the global variable trace_clock_id was used. When we use multiple buffers, clock_id of each sub-buffer should be used. Then, this patch uses tr->clock_id instead of the global variable trace_clock_id. [ Basically, this fixes a regression where the multibuffer code changed the trace_clock file to update tr->clock_id but the traces still use the old global trace_clock_id variable, negating the file's effect. The global trace_clock_id variable is obsolete and removed. - SR ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130423013239.22334.7394.stgit@yunodevel Signed-off-by: Yoshihiro YUNOMAE Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Use current_uid() for critical time tracing

2013-06-06T16:35:30Z

The irqsoff tracer records the max time that interrupts are disabled. There are hooks in the assembly code that calls back into the tracer when interrupts are disabled or enabled. When they are enabled, the tracer checks if the amount of time they were disabled is larger than the previous recorded max interrupts off time. If it is, it creates a snapshot of the currently running trace to store where the last largest interrupts off time was held and how it happened. During testing, this RCU lockdep dump appeared: [ 1257.829021] =============================== [ 1257.829021] [ INFO: suspicious RCU usage. ] [ 1257.829021] 3.10.0-rc1-test+ #171 Tainted: G W [ 1257.829021] ------------------------------- [ 1257.829021] /home/rostedt/work/git/linux-trace.git/include/linux/rcupdate.h:780 rcu_read_lock() used illegally while idle!

The trace buffer was saved along with various information about the task: comm, pid, uid, priority, etc. The uid is recorded with task_uid(tsk). But this is a macro that uses rcu_read_lock() to retrieve the data, and this happened to happen where RCU is blind (user_enter). As only the preempt and irqs off tracers can have this happen, and they both only have the tsk == current, if tsk == current, use current_uid() instead of task_uid(), as current_uid() does not use RCU as only current can change its uid. This fixes the RCU suspicious splat. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing: Fix bad parameter passed in branch selftest

2013-05-29T20:00:03Z

The branch selftest calls trace_test_buffer(), but with the new code it expects the first parameter to be a pointer to a struct trace_buffer. All self tests were changed but the branch selftest was missed. This caused either a crash or failed test when the branch selftest was enabled.

ftrace: Use the rcu _notrace variants for rcu_dereference_raw() and friends

2013-05-29T02:48:00Z

As rcu_dereference_raw() under RCU debug config options can add quite a bit of checks, and that tracing uses rcu_dereference_raw(), these checks happen with the function tracer. The function tracer also happens to trace these debug checks too. This added overhead can livelock the system. Have the function tracer use the new RCU _notrace equivalents that do not do the debug checks for RCU. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130528184209.467603904@goodmis.org Acked-by: Paul E.

ring-buffer: Do not poll non allocated cpu buffers

2013-05-28T14:53:20Z

The tracing infrastructure sets up for possible CPUs, but it uses the ring buffer polling, it is possible to call the ring buffer polling code with a CPU that hasn't been allocated. This will cause a kernel oops when it access a ring buffer cpu buffer that is part of the possible cpus but hasn't been allocated yet as the CPU has never been online.

tracing: Fix crash when ftrace=nop on the kernel command line

2013-05-23T15:57:25Z

If ftrace= is on the kernel command line, when that tracer is registered, it will be initiated by tracing_set_tracer() to execute that tracer. The nop tracer is just a stub tracer that is used to have no tracer enabled. It is assigned at early bootup as it is the default tracer. But if ftrace=nop is on the kernel command line, the registering of the nop tracer will call tracing_set_tracer() which will try to execute the nop tracer. But it expects tr->current_trace to be assigned something as it usually is assigned to the nop tracer. As it hasn't been assigned to anything yet, it causes the system to crash. The simple fix is to move the tr->current_trace = nop before registering the nop tracer. The functionality is still the same as the nop tracer doesn't do anything anyway.

tracing: Return -EBUSY when event_enable_func() fails to get module

2013-05-16T15:01:16Z

Since try_module_get() returns false( = 0) when it fails to pindown a module, event_enable_func() returns 0 which means "succeed". This can cause a kernel panic when the entry is removed, because the event is already released. This fixes the bug by returning -EBUSY, because the reason why it fails is that the module is being removed at that time.

tracing/kprobes: Use rcu_dereference_raw for tp->files

2013-05-15T17:50:22Z

Use rcu_dereference_raw() for accessing tp->files. Because the write-side uses rcu_assign_pointer() for memory barrier, the read-side also has to use rcu_dereference_raw() with read memory barrier.
