tracing: Fix hwlat kthread migration

2017-02-09T07:08:28Z

commit 79c6f448c8b79c321e4a1f31f98194e4f6b6cae7 upstream. The hwlat tracer creates a kernel thread at start of the tracer. It is pinned to a single CPU and will move to the next CPU after each period of running. If the user modifies the migration thread's affinity, it will not change after that happens. The original code created the thread at the first instance it was called, but later was changed to destroy the thread after the tracer was finished, and would not be created until the next instance of the tracer was established. The code that initialized the affinity was only called on the initial instantiation of the tracer. After that, it was not initialized, and the previous affinity did not match the current newly created one, making it appear that the user modified the thread's affinity when it did not, and the thread failed to migrate again.

fgraph: Handle a case where a tracer ignores set_graph_notrace

2017-01-09T07:32:23Z

commit 794de08a16cf1fc1bf785dc48f66d36218cf6d88 upstream. Both the wakeup and irqsoff tracers can use the function graph tracer when the display-graph option is set. The problem is that they ignore the notrace file, and record the entry of functions that would be ignored by the function_graph tracer. This causes the trace->depth to be recorded into the ring buffer. The set_graph_notrace uses a trick by adding a large negative number to the trace->depth when a graph function is to be ignored. On trace output, the graph function uses the depth to record a stack of functions. But since the depth is negative, it accesses the array with a negative number and causes an out of bounds access that can cause a kernel oops or corrupt data. Have the print functions handle cases where a tracer still records functions even when they are in set_graph_notrace. Also add warnings if the depth is below zero before accessing the array. Note, the function graph logic will still prevent the return of these functions from being recorded, which means that they will be left hanging without a return. For example: # echo '*spin*' > set_graph_notrace # echo 1 > options/display-graph # echo wakeup > current_tracer # cat trace [...] _raw_spin_lock() { preempt_count_add() { do_raw_spin_lock() { update_rq_clock(); Where it should look like: _raw_spin_lock() { preempt_count_add(); do_raw_spin_lock(); } update_rq_clock(); Cc: Namhyung Kim Fixes: 29ad23b00474 ("ftrace: Add set_graph_notrace filter") Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

ftrace: Add more checks for FTRACE_FL_DISABLED in processing ip records

2016-11-14T21:31:49Z

When a module is first loaded and its function ip records are added to the ftrace list of functions to modify, they are set to DISABLED, as their text is still in a read only state. When the module is fully loaded, and can be updated, the flag is cleared, and if their's any functions that should be tracing them, it is updated at that moment. But there's several locations that do record accounting and should ignore records that are marked as disabled, or they can cause issues. Alexei already fixed one location, but others need to be addressed.

ftrace: Ignore FTRACE_FL_DISABLED while walking dyn_ftrace records

2016-11-14T21:31:41Z

ftrace_shutdown() checks for sanity of ftrace records and if dyn_ftrace->flags is not zero, it will warn. It can happen that 'flags' are set to FTRACE_FL_DISABLED at this point, since some module was loaded, but before ftrace_module_enable() cleared the flags for this module. In other words the module.c is doing: ftrace_module_init(mod); // calls ftrace_update_code() that sets flags=FTRACE_FL_DISABLED ... // here ftrace_shutdown() is called that warns, since err = prepare_coming_module(mod); // didn't have a chance to clear FTRACE_FL_DISABLED Fix it by ignoring disabled records. It's similar to what __ftrace_hash_rec_update() is already doing.

Disable the __builtin_return_address() warning globally after all

2016-10-12T17:23:41Z

This affectively reverts commit 377ccbb48373 ("Makefile: Mute warning for __builtin_return_address(>0) for tracing only") because it turns out that it really isn't tracing only - it's all over the tree. We already also had the warning disabled separately for mm/usercopy.c (which this commit also removes), and it turns out that we will also want to disable it for get_lock_parent_ip(), that is used for at least TRACE_IRQFLAGS. Which (when enabled) ends up being all over the tree. Steven Rostedt had a patch that tried to limit it to just the config options that actually triggered this, but quite frankly, the extra complexity and abstraction just isn't worth it. We have never actually had a case where the warning is actually useful, so let's just disable it globally and not worry about it.
