ring-buffer: Allow for rescheduling when removing pages

2018-09-29T10:06:04Z

commit 83f365554e47997ec68dc4eca3f5dce525cd15c3 upstream. When reducing ring buffer size, pages are removed by scheduling a work item on each CPU for the corresponding CPU ring buffer. After the pages are removed from ring buffer linked list, the pages are free()d in a tight loop. The loop does not give up CPU until all pages are removed. In a worst case behavior, when lot of pages are to be freed, it can cause system stall. After the pages are removed from the list, the free() can happen while the work is rescheduled. Call cond_resched() in the loop to prevent the system hangup.

uprobes: Use synchronize_rcu() not synchronize_sched()

2018-09-09T17:55:58Z

commit 016f8ffc48cb01d1e7701649c728c5d2e737d295 upstream. While debugging another bug, I was looking at all the synchronize*() functions being used in kernel/trace, and noticed that trace_uprobes was using synchronize_sched(), with a comment to synchronize with {u,ret}_probe_trace_func(). When looking at those functions, the data is protected with "rcu_read_lock()" and not with "rcu_read_lock_sched()". This is using the wrong synchronize_*() function.

tracing/blktrace: Fix to allow setting same value

2018-09-09T17:55:57Z

commit 757d9140072054528b13bbe291583d9823cde195 upstream. Masami Hiramatsu reported: Current trace-enable attribute in sysfs returns an error if user writes the same setting value as current one, e.g. # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable 0 # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy But this is not a preferred behavior, it should ignore if new setting is same as current one. This fixes the problem as below. # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable 0 # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180816103802.08678002@gandalf.local.home Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: linux-block@vger.kernel.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: cd649b8bb830d ("blktrace: remove sysfs_blk_trace_enable_show/store()") Reported-by: Masami Hiramatsu Tested-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tracing: Do not call start/stop() functions when tracing_on does not change

2018-09-09T17:55:57Z

commit f143641bfef9a4a60c57af30de26c63057e7e695 upstream. Currently, when one echo's in 1 into tracing_on, the current tracer's "start()" function is executed, even if tracing_on was already one. This can lead to strange side effects. One being that if the hwlat tracer is enabled, and someone does "echo 1 > tracing_on" into tracing_on, the hwlat tracer's start() function is called again which will recreate another kernel thread, and make it unable to remove the old one.

printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI

2018-09-05T07:26:35Z

commit 03fc7f9c99c1e7ae2925d459e8487f1a6f199f79 upstream. The commit 719f6a7040f1bdaf96 ("printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is available") brought back the possible deadlocks in printk() and NMI. The check of logbuf_lock is done only in printk_nmi_enter() to prevent mixed output. But another CPU might take the lock later, enter NMI, and: + Both NMIs might be serialized by yet another lock, for example, the one in nmi_cpu_backtrace(). + The other CPU might get stopped in NMI, see smp_send_stop() in panic(). The only safe solution is to use trylock when storing the message into the main log-buffer. It might cause reordering when some lines go to the main lock buffer directly and others are delayed via the per-CPU buffer. It means that it is not useful in general. This patch replaces the problematic NMI deferred context with NMI direct context. It can be used to mark a code that might produce many messages in NMI and the risk of losing them is more critical than problems with eventual reordering. The context is then used when dumping trace buffers on oops. It was the primary motivation for the original fix. Also the reordering is even smaller issue there because some traces have their own time stamps. Finally, nmi_cpu_backtrace() need not longer be serialized because it will always us the per-CPU buffers again.

ring_buffer: tracing: Inherit the tracing setting to next ring buffer

2018-08-09T10:16:38Z

commit 73c8d8945505acdcbae137c2e00a1232e0be709f upstream. Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching to the trace buffer snapshot. Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer (max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.

tracing: Quiet gcc warning about maybe unused link variable

Commit 57ea2a34adf4 ("tracing/kprobes: Fix trace_probe flags on enable_trace_kprobe() failure") added an if statement that depends on another if statement that gcc doesn't see will initialize the "link" variable and gives the warning: "warning: 'link' may be used uninitialized in this function" It is really a false positive, but to quiet the warning, and also to make sure that it never actually is used uninitialized, initialize the "link" variable to NULL and add an if (!WARN_ON_ONCE(!link)) where the compiler thinks it could be used uninitialized.

tracing/kprobes: Fix trace_probe flags on enable_trace_kprobe() failure

2018-08-03T05:50:21Z

commit 57ea2a34adf40f3a6e88409aafcf803b8945619a upstream. If enable_trace_kprobe fails to enable the probe in enable_k(ret)probe it returns an error, but does not unset the tp flags it set previously. This results in a probe being considered enabled and failures like being unable to remove the probe through kprobe_events file since probes_open() expects every probe to be disabled.

tracing: Fix possible double free in event_enable_trigger_func()

2018-08-03T05:50:21Z

commit 15cc78644d0075e76d59476a4467e7143860f660 upstream. There was a case that triggered a double free in event_trigger_callback() due to the called reg() function freeing the trigger_data and then it getting freed again by the error return by the caller. The solution there was to up the trigger_data ref count. Code inspection found that event_enable_trigger_func() has the same issue, but is not as easy to trigger (requires harder to trigger failures). It needs to be solved slightly different as it needs more to clean up when the reg() function fails.
