tracepoint: Do not warn on ENOMEM

2018-05-09T07:51:50Z

commit d66a270be3310d7aa132fec0cea77d3d32a0ff75 upstream. Tracepoint should only warn when a kernel API user does not respect the required preconditions (e.g. same tracepoint enabled twice, or called to remove a tracepoint that does not exist). Silence warning in out-of-memory conditions, given that the error is returned to the caller. This ensures that out-of-memory error-injection testing does not trigger warnings in tracepoint.c, which were seen by syzbot.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:35Z

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

tracing: Have the reg function allow to fail

2016-12-09T14:13:30Z

Some tracepoints have a registration function that gets enabled when the tracepoint is enabled. There may be cases that the registraction function must fail (for example, can't allocate enough memory). In this case, the tracepoint should also fail to register, otherwise the user would not know why the tracepoint is not working.

kernel/...: convert pr_warning to pr_warn

2016-03-22T22:36:02Z

Use the more common logging method with the eventual goal of removing pr_warning altogether. Miscellanea: - Realign arguments - Coalesce formats - Add missing space between a few coalesced formats Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Rafael J.

tracepoint: Give priority to probes of tracepoints

2015-10-26T01:33:54Z

In order to guarantee that a probe will be called before other probes that are attached to a tracepoint, there needs to be a mechanism to provide priority of one probe over the others. Adding a prio field to the struct tracepoint_func, which lets the probes be sorted by the priority set in the structure. If no priority is specified, then a priority of 10 is given (this is a macro, and perhaps may be changed in the future). Now probes may be added to affect other probes that are attached to a tracepoint with a guaranteed order. One use case would be to allow tracing of tracepoints be able to filter by pid. A special (higher priority probe) may be added to the sched_switch tracepoint and set the necessary flags of the other tracepoints to notify them if they should be traced or not. In case a tracepoint is enabled at the sched_switch tracepoint too, the order of the two are not random. Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

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.
