tracing: syscall_regfunc() should not skip kernel threads

2014-06-21T04:15:26Z

syscall_regfunc() ignores the kernel threads because "it has no effect", see cc3b13c1 "Don't trace kernel thread syscalls" which added this check. However, this means that a user-space task spawned by call_usermodehelper() will run without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT if sys_tracepoint_refcount != 0. Remove this check. The unnecessary report from ret_from_fork path mentioned by cc3b13c1 is no longer possible, see See commit fb45550d76bb5 "make sure that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves". A kernel_thread() callback can only return and take the int_ret_from_sys_call path after do_execve() succeeds, otherwise the kernel will crash. But in this case it is no longer a kernel thread and thus is needs TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT.

tracing: Change syscall_*regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD and use for_each_process_thread()

2014-06-21T04:15:25Z

1. Remove _irqsafe from syscall_regfunc/syscall_unregfunc, read_lock(tasklist) doesn't need to disable irqs. 2. Change this code to avoid the deprecated do_each_thread() and use for_each_process_thread() (stolen from the patch from Frederic). 3. Change syscall_regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD to skip the kernel threads, ->mm != NULL is the common mistake. Note: probably this check should be simply removed, needs another patch.

tracepoint: Fix use of tracepoint funcs after rcu free

2014-05-08T13:10:56Z

Commit de7b2973903c "tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints" introduces a use after free by calling release_probes on the old struct tracepoint array before the newly allocated array is published with rcu_assign_pointer. There is a race window where tracepoints (RCU readers) can perform a "use-after-grace-period-after-free", which shows up as a GPF in stress-tests.

Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "This includes the final patch to clean up and fix the issue with the design of tracepoints and how a user could register a tracepoint and have that tracepoint not be activated but no error was shown. The design was for an out of tree module but broke in tree users. The clean up was to remove the saving of the hash table of tracepoint names such that they can be enabled before they exist (enabling a module tracepoint before that module is loaded). This added more complexity than needed. The clean up was to remove that code and just enable tracepoints that exist or fail if they do not. This removed a lot of code as well as the complexity that it brought. As a side effect, instead of registering a tracepoint by its name, the tracepoint needs to be registered with the tracepoint descriptor. This removes having to duplicate the tracepoint names that are enabled. The second patch was added that simplified the way modules were searched for. This cleanup required changes that were in the 3.15 queue as well as some changes that were added late in the 3.14-rc cycle. This final change waited till the two were merged in upstream and then the change was added and full tests were run. Unfortunately, the test found some errors, but after it was already submitted to the for-next branch and not to be rebased. Sparse errors were detected by Fengguang Wu's bot tests, and my internal tests discovered that the anonymous union initialization triggered a bug in older gcc compilers. Luckily, there was a bugzilla for the gcc bug which gave a work around to the problem. The third and fourth patch handled the sparse error and the gcc bug respectively. A final patch was tagged along to fix a missing documentation for the README file" * tag 'trace-3.15-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Add missing function triggers dump and cpudump to README tracing: Fix anonymous unions in struct ftrace_event_call tracepoint: Fix sparse warnings in tracepoint.c tracepoint: Simplify tracepoint module search tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints

tracepoint: Simplify tracepoint module search

2014-04-09T00:45:34Z

Instead of copying the num_tracepoints and tracepoints_ptrs from the module structure to the tp_mod structure, which only uses it to find the module associated to tracepoints of modules that are coming and going, simply copy the pointer to the module struct to the tracepoint tp_module structure. Also removed un-needed brackets around an if statement. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140408201705.4dad2c4a@gandalf.local.home Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints

2014-04-09T00:43:28Z

Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer rather than tracepoint name. This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux size. From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated tracepoint is unloaded. text data bss dec hex filename 10443444 4282528 10391552 25117524 17f4354 vmlinux.orig 10434930 4282848 10391552 25109330 17f2352 vmlinux Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1396992381-23785-2-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com CC: Ingo Molnar CC: Frederic Weisbecker CC: Andrew Morton CC: Frank Ch.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation. But there were a few features that were added: Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers and have support under ftrace and perf. The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the multi buffer instances. That is, you can now trace some functions in one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other. This only works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace, although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top level buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different function tracing going on in the sub buffers" * tag 'trace-3.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (45 commits) tracing: Add BUG_ON when stack end location is over written tracepoint: Remove unused API functions Revert "tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function" ftrace: Constify ftrace_text_reserved tracepoints: API doc update to tracepoint_probe_register() return value tracepoints: API doc update to data argument ftrace: Fix compilation warning about control_ops_free ftrace/x86: BUG when ftrace recovery fails ftrace: Warn on error when modifying ftrace function ftrace: Remove freelist from struct dyn_ftrace ftrace: Do not pass data to ftrace_dyn_arch_init ftrace: Pass retval through return in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() ftrace: Inline the code from ftrace_dyn_table_alloc() ftrace: Cleanup of global variables ftrace_new_pgs and ftrace_update_cnt tracing: Evaluate len expression only once in __dynamic_array macro tracing: Correctly expand len expressions from __dynamic_array macro tracing/module: Replace include of tracepoint.h with jump_label.h in module.h tracing: Fix event header migrate.h to include tracepoint.h tracing: Fix event header writeback.h to include tracepoint.h tracing: Warn if a tracepoint is not set via debugfs ...
