tracing: Have type enum modifications copy the strings

2022-04-08T12:06:53Z

commit 795301d3c28996219d555023ac6863401b6076bc upstream. When an enum is used in the visible parts of a trace event that is exported to user space, the user space applications like perf and trace-cmd do not have a way to know what the value of the enum is. To solve this, at boot up (or module load) the printk formats are modified to replace the enum with their numeric value in the string output. Array fields of the event are defined by [] in the type portion of the format file so that the user space parsers can correctly parse the array into the appropriate size chunks. But in some trace events, an enum is used in defining the size of the array, which once again breaks the parsing of user space tooling. This was solved the same way as the print formats were, but it modified the type strings of the trace event. This caused crashes in some architectures because, as supposed to the print string, is a const string value. This was not detected on x86, as it appears that const strings are still writable (at least in boot up), but other architectures this is not the case, and writing to a const string will cause a kernel fault. To fix this, use kstrdup() to copy the type before modifying it. If the trace event is for the core kernel there's no need to free it because the string will be in use for the life of the machine being on line. For modules, create a link list to store all the strings being allocated for modules and when the module is removed, free them.

tracing: Have TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM affect trace event types as well

2022-04-08T12:06:41Z

[ Upstream commit b3bc8547d3be60898818885f5bf22d0a62e2eb48 ] The macro TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM is used to convert enums in the kernel to their actual value when they are exported to user space via the trace event format file. Currently only the enums in the "print fmt" (TP_printk in the TRACE_EVENT macro) have the enums converted. But the enums can be used to denote array size: field:unsigned int fc_ineligible_rc[EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX]; offset:12; size:36; signed:0; The EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX has no meaning to userspace but it needs to know that information to know how to parse the array. Have the array indexes also be parsed as well.

tracing: Have trace event string test handle zero length strings

2022-04-08T12:05:28Z

commit eca344a7362e0f34f179298fd8366bcd556eede1 upstream. If a trace event has in its TP_printk(): "%*.s", len, len ? __get_str(string) : NULL It is perfectly valid if len is zero and passing in the NULL. Unfortunately, the runtime string check at time of reading the trace sees the NULL and flags it as a bad string and produces a WARN_ON(). Handle this case by passing into the test function if the format has an asterisk (star) and if so, if the length is zero, then mark it as safe.

tracing/osnoise: Do not unregister events twice

This happens on trace-cmd because it first stops tracing, and then switches the tracer to nop. Which is equivalent to: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # echo osnoise > current_tracer # echo 0 > tracing_on # echo nop > current_tracer The osnoise tracer stops the workload when no trace instance is actually collecting data. This can be caused both by disabling tracing or disabling the tracer itself. To avoid unregistering events twice, use the existing trace_osnoise_callback_enabled variable to check if the events (and the workload) are actually active before trying to deactivate them.

tracing/osnoise: Force quiescent states while tracing

2022-03-16T13:26:49Z

commit caf4c86bf136845982c5103b2661751b40c474c0 upstream. At the moment running osnoise on a nohz_full CPU or uncontested FIFO priority and a PREEMPT_RCU kernel might have the side effect of extending grace periods too much. This will entice RCU to force a context switch on the wayward CPU to end the grace period, all while introducing unwarranted noise into the tracer. This behaviour is unavoidable as overly extending grace periods might exhaust the system's memory. This same exact problem is what extended quiescent states (EQS) were created for, conversely, rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() emulates them by performing a zero duration EQS. So let's make use of it. In the common case rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() is fairly inexpensive: atomically incrementing a local per-CPU counter and doing a store. So it shouldn't affect osnoise's measurements (which has a 1us granularity), so we'll call it unanimously. The uncommon case involve calling rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() after having the osnoise process: - Receive an expedited quiescent state IPI with preemption disabled or during an RCU critical section. (activates rdp->cpu_no_qs.b.exp code-path). - Being preempted within in an RCU critical section and having the subsequent outermost rcu_read_unlock() called with interrupts disabled. (t->rcu_read_unlock_special.b.blocked code-path). Neither of those are possible at the moment, and are unlikely to be in the future given the osnoise's loop design. On top of this, the noise generated by the situations described above is unavoidable, and if not exposed by rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() will be eventually seen in subsequent rcu_read_unlock() calls or schedule operations.

tracing: Fix return value of __setup handlers

commit 1d02b444b8d1345ea4708db3bab4db89a7784b55 upstream. __setup() handlers should generally return 1 to indicate that the boot options have been handled. Using invalid option values causes the entire kernel boot option string to be reported as Unknown and added to init's environment strings, polluting it.

tracing/histogram: Fix sorting on old "cpu" value

2022-03-08T18:14:18Z

commit 1d1898f65616c4601208963c3376c1d828cbf2c7 upstream. When trying to add a histogram against an event with the "cpu" field, it was impossible due to "cpu" being a keyword to key off of the running CPU. So to fix this, it was changed to "common_cpu" to match the other generic fields (like "common_pid"). But since some scripts used "cpu" for keying off of the CPU (for events that did not have "cpu" as a field, which is most of them), a backward compatibility trick was added such that if "cpu" was used as a key, and the event did not have "cpu" as a field name, then it would fallback and switch over to "common_cpu". This fix has a couple of subtle bugs. One was that when switching over to "common_cpu", it did not change the field name, it just set a flag. But the code still found a "cpu" field. The "cpu" field is used for filtering and is returned when the event does not have a "cpu" field. This was found by: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo hist:key=cpu,pid:sort=cpu > events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger # cat events/sched/sched_wakeup/hist Which showed the histogram unsorted: { cpu: 19, pid: 1175 } hitcount: 1 { cpu: 6, pid: 239 } hitcount: 2 { cpu: 23, pid: 1186 } hitcount: 14 { cpu: 12, pid: 249 } hitcount: 2 { cpu: 3, pid: 994 } hitcount: 5 Instead of hard coding the "cpu" checks, take advantage of the fact that trace_event_field_field() returns a special field for "cpu" and "CPU" if the event does not have "cpu" as a field. This special field has the "filter_type" of "FILTER_CPU". Check that to test if the returned field is of the CPU type instead of doing the string compare. Also, fix the sorting bug by testing for the hist_field flag of HIST_FIELD_FL_CPU when setting up the sort routine. Otherwise it will use the special CPU field to know what compare routine to use, and since that special field does not have a size, it returns tracing_map_cmp_none.
