tracing: Fix stack trace event size

2021-04-07T10:04:21Z

commit 9deb193af69d3fd6dd8e47f292b67c805a787010 upstream. Commit cbc3b92ce037 fixed an issue to modify the macros of the stack trace event so that user space could parse it properly. Originally the stack trace format to user space showed that the called stack was a dynamic array. But it is not actually a dynamic array, in the way that other dynamic event arrays worked, and this broke user space parsing for it. The update was to make the array look to have 8 entries in it. Helper functions were added to make it parse it correctly, as the stack was dynamic, but was determined by the size of the event stored. Although this fixed user space on how it read the event, it changed the internal structure used for the stack trace event. It changed the array size from [0] to [8] (added 8 entries). This increased the size of the stack trace event by 8 words. The size reserved on the ring buffer was the size of the stack trace event plus the number of stack entries found in the stack trace. That commit caused the amount to be 8 more than what was needed because it did not expect the caller field to have any size. This produced 8 entries of garbage (and reading random data) from the stack trace event: -0 [002] d... 1976396.837549: => trace_event_raw_event_sched_switch => __traceiter_sched_switch => __schedule => schedule_idle => do_idle => cpu_startup_entry => secondary_startup_64_no_verify => 0xc8c5e150ffff93de => 0xffff93de => 0 => 0 => 0xc8c5e17800000000 => 0x1f30affff93de => 0x00000004 => 0x200000000 Instead, subtract the size of the caller field from the size of the event to make sure that only the amount needed to store the stack trace is reserved.

fgraph: Initialize tracing_graph_pause at task creation

2021-02-23T12:58:12Z

commit 7e0a9220467dbcfdc5bc62825724f3e52e50ab31 upstream. On some archs, the idle task can call into cpu_suspend(). The cpu_suspend() will disable or pause function graph tracing, as there's some paths in bringing down the CPU that can have issues with its return address being modified. The task_struct structure has a "tracing_graph_pause" atomic counter, that when set to something other than zero, the function graph tracer will not modify the return address. The problem is that the tracing_graph_pause counter is initialized when the function graph tracer is enabled. This can corrupt the counter for the idle task if it is suspended in these architectures. CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- do_idle() cpu_suspend() pause_graph_tracing() task_struct->tracing_graph_pause++ (0 -> 1) start_graph_tracing() for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(cpu) task-struct->tracing_graph_pause = 0 (1 -> 0) unpause_graph_tracing() task_struct->tracing_graph_pause-- (0 -> -1) The above should have gone from 1 to zero, and enabled function graph tracing again. But instead, it is set to -1, which keeps it disabled. There's no reason that the field tracing_graph_pause on the task_struct can not be initialized at boot up.

tracing: Do not count ftrace events in top level enable output

2021-02-23T12:58:12Z

commit 256cfdd6fdf70c6fcf0f7c8ddb0ebd73ce8f3bc9 upstream. The file /sys/kernel/tracing/events/enable is used to enable all events by echoing in "1", or disabling all events when echoing in "0". To know if all events are enabled, disabled, or some are enabled but not all of them, cating the file should show either "1" (all enabled), "0" (all disabled), or "X" (some enabled but not all of them). This works the same as the "enable" files in the individule system directories (like tracing/events/sched/enable). But when all events are enabled, the top level "enable" file shows "X". The reason is that its checking the "ftrace" events, which are special events that only exist for their format files. These include the format for the function tracer events, that are enabled when the function tracer is enabled, but not by the "enable" file. The check includes these events, which will always be disabled, and even though all true events are enabled, the top level "enable" file will show "X" instead of "1". To fix this, have the check test the event's flags to see if it has the "IGNORE_ENABLE" flag set, and if so, not test it.

tracing: Fix userstacktrace option for instances

2020-12-11T12:36:46Z

commit bcee5278958802b40ee8b26679155a6d9231783e upstream. When the instances were able to use their own options, the userstacktrace option was left hardcoded for the top level. This made the instance userstacktrace option bascially into a nop, and will confuse users that set it, but nothing happens (I was confused when it happened to me!)

ring-buffer: Fix recursion protection transitions between interrupt context

2020-11-18T17:24:57Z

[ Upstream commit b02414c8f045ab3b9afc816c3735bc98c5c3d262 ] The recursion protection of the ring buffer depends on preempt_count() to be correct. But it is possible that the ring buffer gets called after an interrupt comes in but before it updates the preempt_count(). This will trigger a false positive in the recursion code. Use the same trick from the ftrace function callback recursion code which uses a "transition" bit that gets set, to allow for a single recursion for to handle transitions between contexts.

ftrace: Handle tracing when switching between context

2020-11-10T09:22:19Z

commit 726b3d3f141fba6f841d715fc4d8a4a84f02c02a upstream. When an interrupt or NMI comes in and switches the context, there's a delay from when the preempt_count() shows the update. As the preempt_count() is used to detect recursion having each context have its own bit get set when tracing starts, and if that bit is already set, it is considered a recursion and the function exits. But if this happens in that section where context has changed but preempt_count() has not been updated, this will be incorrectly flagged as a recursion. To handle this case, create another bit call TRANSITION and test it if the current context bit is already set. Flag the call as a recursion if the TRANSITION bit is already set, and if not, set it and continue. The TRANSITION bit will be cleared normally on the return of the function that set it, or if the current context bit is clear, set it and clear the TRANSITION bit to allow for another transition between the current context and an even higher one.

ftrace: Fix recursion check for NMI test

2020-11-10T09:22:19Z

commit ee11b93f95eabdf8198edd4668bf9102e7248270 upstream. The code that checks recursion will work to only do the recursion check once if there's nested checks. The top one will do the check, the other nested checks will see recursion was already checked and return zero for its "bit". On the return side, nothing will be done if the "bit" is zero. The problem is that zero is returned for the "good" bit when in NMI context. This will set the bit for NMIs making it look like *all* NMI tracing is recursing, and prevent tracing of anything in NMI context! The simple fix is to return "bit + 1" and subtract that bit on the end to get the real bit.

tracing: Use address-of operator on section symbols

[ Upstream commit bf2cbe044da275021b2de5917240411a19e5c50d ] Clang warns: ../kernel/trace/trace.c:9335:33: warning: array comparison always evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare] if (__stop___trace_bprintk_fmt != __start___trace_bprintk_fmt) ^ 1 warning generated. These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are just addresses.
