2014-02-13ftrace: Have function graph only trace based on global_ops filtersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit 23a8e8441a0a74dd612edf81dc89d1600bc0a3d1 upstream. Doing some different tests, I discovered that function graph tracing, when filtered via the set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace files, does not always keep with them if another function ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions. The reason is that function graph just happens to trace all functions that the function tracer enables. When there was only one user of function tracing, the function graph tracer did not need to worry about being called by functions that it did not want to trace. But now that there are other users, this becomes a problem. For example, one just needs to do the following: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter # echo function_graph > current_tracer # cat trace [..] 0) | schedule() { ------------------------------------------ 0) <idle>-0 => rcu_pre-7 ------------------------------------------ 0) ! 2980.314 us | } 0) | schedule() { ------------------------------------------ 0) rcu_pre-7 => <idle>-0 ------------------------------------------ 0) + 20.701 us | } # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled # cat trace [..] 1) + 20.825 us | } 1) + 21.651 us | } 1) + 30.924 us | } /* SyS_ioctl */ 1) | do_page_fault() { 1) | __do_page_fault() { 1) 0.274 us | down_read_trylock(); 1) 0.098 us | find_vma(); 1) | handle_mm_fault() { 1) | _raw_spin_lock() { 1) 0.102 us | preempt_count_add(); 1) 0.097 us | do_raw_spin_lock(); 1) 2.173 us | } 1) | do_wp_page() { 1) 0.079 us | vm_normal_page(); 1) 0.086 us | reuse_swap_page(); 1) 0.076 us | page_move_anon_rmap(); 1) | unlock_page() { 1) 0.082 us | page_waitqueue(); 1) 0.086 us | __wake_up_bit(); 1) 1.801 us | } 1) 0.075 us | ptep_set_access_flags(); 1) | _raw_spin_unlock() { 1) 0.098 us | do_raw_spin_unlock(); 1) 0.105 us | preempt_count_sub(); 1) 1.884 us | } 1) 9.149 us | } 1) + 13.083 us | } 1) 0.146 us | up_read(); When the stack tracer was enabled, it enabled all functions to be traced, which now the function graph tracer also traces. This is a side effect that should not occur. To fix this a test is added when the function tracing is changed, as well as when the graph tracer is enabled, to see if anything other than the ftrace global_ops function tracer is enabled. If so, then the graph tracer calls a test trampoline that will look at the function that is being traced and compare it with the filters defined by the global_ops. As an optimization, if there's no other function tracers registered, or if the only registered function tracers also use the global ops, the function graph infrastructure will call the registered function graph callback directly and not go through the test trampoline.

2014-02-13ftrace: Fix synchronization location disabling and freeing ftrace_opsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit a4c35ed241129dd142be4cadb1e5a474a56d5464 upstream. The synchronization needed after ftrace_ops are unregistered must happen after the callback is disabled from becing called by functions. The current location happens after the function is being removed from the internal lists, but not after the function callbacks were disabled, leaving the functions susceptible of being called after their callbacks are freed. This affects perf and any externel users of function tracing (LTTng and SystemTap).

2014-02-13ftrace: Synchronize setting function_trace_op with ftrace_trace_functionSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
commit 405e1d834807e51b2ebd3dea81cb51e53fb61504 upstream. ftrace_trace_function is a variable that holds what function will be called directly by the assembly code (mcount). If just a single function is registered and it handles recursion itself, then the assembly will call that function directly without any helper function. It also passes in the ftrace_op that was registered with the callback. The ftrace_op to send is stored in the function_trace_op variable. The ftrace_trace_function and function_trace_op needs to be coordinated such that the called callback wont be called with the wrong ftrace_op, otherwise bad things can happen if it expected a different op. Luckily, there's no callback that doesn't use the helper functions that requires this. But there soon will be and this needs to be fixed. Use a set_function_trace_op to store the ftrace_op to set the function_trace_op to when it is safe to do so (during the update function within the breakpoint or stop machine calls). Or if dynamic ftrace is not being used (static tracing) then we have to do a bit more synchronization when the ftrace_trace_function is set as that takes affect immediately (as oppose to dynamic ftrace doing it with the modification of the trampoline).

2014-01-09ftrace: Initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpuMiao Xie
commit c4602c1c818bd6626178d6d3fcc152d9f2f48ac0 upstream. Ftrace currently initializes only the online CPUs. This implementation has two problems: - If we online a CPU after we enable the function profile, and then run the test, we will lose the trace information on that CPU. Steps to reproduce: # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # cd <debugfs>/tracing/ # echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # run test - If we offline a CPU before we enable the function profile, we will not clear the trace information when we enable the function profile. It will trouble the users. Steps to reproduce: # cd <debugfs>/tracing/ # echo <some function name> >> set_ftrace_filter # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # run test # cat trace_stat/function* # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # echo 0 > function_profile_enabled # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # cat trace_stat/function* # run test # cat trace_stat/function* So it is better that we initialize the ftrace profiler for each possible cpu every time we enable the function profile instead of just the online ones.

Well, it covered the function tracer by adding checks in __register_ftrace_function(). The problem is that the function graph tracer circumvents that (for a slight efficiency gain when function graph trace is running with a function tracer. The gain was not worth this). The problem came with ftrace_startup() which should always be called after __register_ftrace_function(), if you want this bug to be completely fixed. Anyway, this solution moves __register_ftrace_function() inside of ftrace_startup() and removes the need to call them both.

2013-09-03ftrace: Fix a slight race in modifying what function callback gets tracedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
There's a slight race when going from a list function to a non list function. That is, when only one callback is registered to the function tracer, it gets called directly by the mcount trampoline. But if this function has filters, it may be called by the wrong functions. As the list ops callback that handles multiple callbacks that are registered to ftrace, it also handles what functions they call. While the transaction is taking place, use the list function always, and after all the updates are finished (only the functions that should be traced are being traced), then we can update the trampoline to call the function directly.

It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented. When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented. If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until reboot. The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on (and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the notrace_hash). When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is function records for one module will not exist on the same page as function records for other modules or even the core kernel. Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be incremented). The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect that. With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer: Using uinput module and uinput_release function. cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing modprobe uinput echo uinput_release > set_ftrace_filter echo function > current_tracer rmmod uinput modprobe uinput # check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again echo nop > current_tracer [BOOM] The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that can be traced within the module. We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function. Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record associated to uinput_release. Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents uinput_release. Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address). This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero, including uinput_release. Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have a mismatch (below zero ref count). The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts tracing that function. There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload, but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too. Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's function on unload and load.

2013-07-30ftrace: Consolidate some duplicate code for updating ftrace opsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)

2013-07-24ftrace: Add check for NULL regs if ops has SAVE_REGS setSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
If a ftrace ops is registered with the SAVE_REGS flag set, and there's already a ops registered to one of its functions but without the SAVE_REGS flag, there's a small race window where the SAVE_REGS ops gets added to the list of callbacks to call for that function before the callback trampoline gets set to save the regs. The problem is, the function is not currently saving regs, which opens a small race window where the ops that is expecting regs to be passed to it, wont. This can cause a crash if the callback were to reference the regs, as the SAVE_REGS guarantees that regs will be set. To fix this, we add a check in the loop case where it checks if the ops has the SAVE_REGS flag set, and if so, it will ignore it if regs is not set.

2013-07-02ftrace: Do not run selftest if command line parameter is setSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
If the kernel command line ftrace filter parameters are set (ftrace_filter or ftrace_notrace), force the function self test to pass, with a warning why it was forced. If the user adds a filter to the kernel command line, it is assumed that they know what they are doing, and the self test should just not run instead of failing (which disables function tracing) or clearing the filter, as that will probably annoy the user. If the user wants the selftest to run, the message will tell them why it did not. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2013-06-11ftrace: Use schedule_on_each_cpu() as a heavy synchronize_sched()Steven Rostedt
The function tracer uses preempt_disable/enable_notrace() for synchronization between reading registered ftrace_ops and unregistering them. Most of the ftrace_ops are global permanent structures that do not require this synchronization. That is, ops may be added and removed from the hlist but are never freed, and wont hurt if a synchronization is missed. But this is not true for dynamically created ftrace_ops or control_ops, which are used by the perf function tracing. The problem here is that the function tracer can be used to trace kernel/user context switches as well as going to and from idle. Basically, it can be used to trace blind spots of the RCU subsystem. This means that even though preempt_disable() is done, a synchronize_sched() will ignore CPUs that haven't made it out of user space or idle. These can include functions that are being traced just before entering or exiting the kernel sections. To implement the RCU synchronization, instead of using synchronize_sched() the use of schedule_on_each_cpu() is performed. This means that when a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops, or a control ops is being unregistered, all CPUs must be touched and execute a ftrace_sync() stub function via the work queues. This will rip CPUs out from idle or in dynamic tick mode. This only happens when a user disables perf function tracing or other dynamically allocated function tracers, but it allows us to continue to debug RCU and context tracking with function tracing.

2013-05-10ftrace: Fix the output of enabled_functions debug fileSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The enabled_functions debugfs file was created to be able to see what functions have been modified from nops to calling a tracer. The current method uses the counter in the function record. As when a ftrace_ops is registered to a function, its count increases. But that doesn't mean that the function is actively being traced. /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled can be set to zero which would disable it, as well as something can go wrong and we can think its enabled when only the counter is set. The record's FTRACE_FL_ENABLED flag is set or cleared when its function is modified. That is a much more accurate way of knowing what function is enabled or not.

2013-05-10ftrace: Cleanup regex_lock and ftrace_lock around hash updatingMasami Hiramatsu
Cleanup regex_lock and ftrace_lock locking points around ftrace_ops hash update code. The new rule is that regex_lock protects ops->*_hash read-update-write code for each ftrace_ops. Usually, hash update is done by following sequence. 1. allocate a new local hash and copy the original hash. 2. update the local hash. 3. move(actually, copy) back the local hash to ftrace_ops. 4. update ftrace entries if needed. 5. release the local hash.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major changes with this pull request. 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years. I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event. Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers (ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only be written to the main buffer. 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended. The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable an event to be traced when a function is hit. 3) A perf clock has been added. A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis." * tag 'trace-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (82 commits) tracepoints: Prevent null probe from being added tracing: Compare to 1 instead of zero for is_signed_type() tracing: Remove obsolete macro guard _TRACE_PROFILE_INIT ftrace: Get rid of ftrace_profile_bits tracing: Check return value of tracing_init_dentry() tracing: Get rid of unneeded key calculation in ftrace_hash_move() tracing: Reset ftrace_graph_filter_enabled if count is zero tracing: Fix off-by-one on allocating stat->pages kernel: tracing: Use strlcpy instead of strncpy tracing: Update debugfs README file tracing: Fix ftrace_dump() tracing: Rename trace_event_mutex to trace_event_sem tracing: Fix comment about prefix in arch_syscall_match_sym_name() tracing: Convert trace_destroy_fields() to static tracing: Move find_event_field() into trace_events.c tracing: Use TRACE_MAX_PRINT instead of constant tracing: Use pr_warn_once instead of open coded implementation ring-buffer: Add ring buffer startup selftest tracing: Bring Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt up to date tracing: Add "perf" trace_clock ...

2013-04-12tracing: Fix possible NULL pointer dereferencesNamhyung Kim
Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek for their fops. However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic. It can be easily reproduced with following command: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a") and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().

2013-04-08ftrace: Do not call stub functions in control loopSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The function tracing control loop used by perf spits out a warning if the called function is not a control function. This is because the control function references a per cpu allocated data structure on struct ftrace_ops that is not allocated for other types of functions. commit 0a016409e42 "ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop" Had an optimization done to all function tracing loops to optimize for a single registered ops. Unfortunately, this allows for a slight race when tracing starts or ends, where the stub function might be called after the current registered ops is removed. In this case we get the following dump: root# perf stat -e ftrace:function sleep 1 [ 74.339105] WARNING: at include/linux/ftrace.h:209 ftrace_ops_control_func+0xde/0xf0() [ 74.349522] Hardware name: PRIMERGY RX200 S6 [ 74.357149] Modules linked in: sg igb iTCO_wdt ptp pps_core iTCO_vendor_support i7core_edac dca lpc_ich i2c_i801 coretemp edac_core crc32c_intel mfd_core ghash_clmulni_intel dm_multipath acpi_power_meter pcspk r microcode vhost_net tun macvtap macvlan nfsd kvm_intel kvm auth_rpcgss nfs_acl lockd sunrpc uinput xfs libcrc32c sd_mod crc_t10dif sr_mod cdrom mgag200 i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper ttm qla2xxx mptsas ahci drm li bahci scsi_transport_sas mptscsih libata scsi_transport_fc i2c_core mptbase scsi_tgt dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod [ 74.446233] Pid: 1377, comm: perf Tainted: G W 3.9.0-rc1 #1 [ 74.453458] Call Trace: [ 74.456233] [<ffffffff81062e3f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [ 74.462997] [<ffffffff810fbc60>] ? rcu_note_context_switch+0xa0/0xa0 [ 74.470272] [<ffffffff811041a2>] ? __unregister_ftrace_function+0xa2/0x1a0 [ 74.478117] [<ffffffff81062e9a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 74.484681] [<ffffffff81102ede>] ftrace_ops_control_func+0xde/0xf0 [ 74.491760] [<ffffffff8162f400>] ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.497511] [<ffffffff8162f400>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.503486] [<ffffffff8162f400>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.509500] [<ffffffff810fbc65>] ? synchronize_sched+0x5/0x50 [ 74.516088] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.522268] [<ffffffff810fbc65>] ? synchronize_sched+0x5/0x50 [ 74.528837] [<ffffffff811041a2>] ? __unregister_ftrace_function+0xa2/0x1a0 [ 74.536696] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.542878] [<ffffffff8162402d>] ? mutex_lock+0x1d/0x50 [ 74.548869] [<ffffffff81105c67>] unregister_ftrace_function+0x27/0x50 [ 74.556243] [<ffffffff8111eadf>] perf_ftrace_event_register+0x9f/0x140 [ 74.563709] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.569887] [<ffffffff8162402d>] ? mutex_lock+0x1d/0x50 [ 74.575898] [<ffffffff8111e94e>] perf_trace_destroy+0x2e/0x50 [ 74.582505] [<ffffffff81127ba9>] tp_perf_event_destroy+0x9/0x10 [ 74.589298] [<ffffffff811295d0>] free_event+0x70/0x1a0 [ 74.595208] [<ffffffff8112a579>] perf_event_release_kernel+0x69/0xa0 [ 74.602460] [<ffffffff816254d5>] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.608667] [<ffffffff8112a640>] put_event+0x90/0xc0 [ 74.614373] [<ffffffff8112a740>] perf_release+0x10/0x20 [ 74.620367] [<ffffffff811a3044>] __fput+0xf4/0x280 [ 74.625894] [<ffffffff811a31de>] ____fput+0xe/0x10 [ 74.631387] [<ffffffff81083697>] task_work_run+0xa7/0xe0 [ 74.637452] [<ffffffff81014981>] do_notify_resume+0x71/0xb0 [ 74.643843] [<ffffffff8162fa92>] int_signal+0x12/0x17 To fix this a new ftrace_ops flag is added that denotes the ftrace_list_end ftrace_ops stub as just that, a stub.

2013-03-15ftrace: Use manual free after synchronize_sched() not call_rcu_sched()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The entries to the probe hash must be freed after a synchronize_sched() after the entry has been removed from the hash. As the entries are registered with ops that may have their own callbacks, and these callbacks may sleep, we can not use call_rcu_sched() because the rcu callbacks registered with that are called from a softirq context. Instead of using call_rcu_sched(), manually save the entries on a free_list and at the end of the loop that removes the entries, do a synchronize_sched() and then go through the free_list, freeing the entries.

2013-03-15ftrace: Clean up function probe methodsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
When a function probe is created, each function that the probe is attached to, a "callback" method is called. On release of the probe, each function entry calls the "free" method. First, "callback" is a confusing name and does not really match what it does. Callback sounds like it will be called when the probe triggers. But that's not the case. This is really an "init" function, so lets rename it as such. Secondly, both "init" and "free" do not pass enough information back to the handlers. Pass back the ops, ip and data for each time the method is called. We have the information, might as well use it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-03-15ftrace: Fix function probe to only enable needed functionsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Currently the function probe enables all functions and runs a "hash" against every function call to see if it should call a probe. This is extremely wasteful. Note, a probe is something like: echo schedule:traceoff > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter When schedule is called, the probe will disable tracing. But currently, it has a call back for *all* functions, and checks to see if the called function is the probe that is needed. The probe function has been created before ftrace was rewritten to allow for more than one "op" to be registered by the function tracer. When probes were created, it couldn't limit the functions without also limiting normal function calls. But now we can, it's about time to update the probe code. Todo, have separate ops for different entries. That is, assign a ftrace_ops per probe, instead of one op for all probes. But as there's not many probes assigned, this may not be that urgent.

Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched() for updates and not a synchronize_rcu(). Function probes (traceon, traceoff, etc) must be freed after a synchronize_sched() after its entry has been removed from the hash. But call_rcu() is used. Fix this by using call_rcu_sched().

2013-02-28hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

2013-02-19ftrace: Call ftrace cleanup module notifier after all other notifiersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Commit: c1bf08ac "ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules" changed ftrace module notifier's priority to INT_MAX in order to process the ftrace nops before anything else could touch them (namely kprobes). This was the correct thing to do. Unfortunately, the ftrace module notifier also contains the ftrace clean up code. As opposed to the set up code, this code should be run *after* all the module notifiers have run in case a module is doing correct clean-up and unregisters its ftrace hooks. Basically, ftrace needs to do clean up on module removal, as it needs to know about code being removed so that it doesn't try to modify that code. But after it removes the module from its records, if a ftrace user tries to remove a probe, that removal will fail due as the record of that code segment no longer exists. Nothing really bad happens if the probe removal is called after ftrace did the clean up, but the ftrace removal function will return an error. Correct code (such as kprobes) will produce a WARN_ON() if it fails to remove the probe. As people get annoyed by frivolous warnings, it's best to do the ftrace clean up after everything else. By splitting the ftrace_module_notifier into two notifiers, one that does the module load setup that is run at high priority, and the other that is called for module clean up that is run at low priority, the problem is solved.

2013-01-23tracing: Avoid unnecessary multiple recursion checksSteven Rostedt
When function tracing occurs, the following steps are made: If arch does not support a ftrace feature: call internal function (uses INTERNAL bits) which calls... If callback is registered to the "global" list, the list function is called and recursion checks the GLOBAL bits. then this function calls... The function callback, which can use the FTRACE bits to check for recursion. Now if the arch does not suppport a feature, and it calls the global list function which calls the ftrace callback all three of these steps will do a recursion protection. There's no reason to do one if the previous caller already did. The recursion that we are protecting against will go through the same steps again. To prevent the multiple recursion checks, if a recursion bit is set that is higher than the MAX bit of the current check, then we know that the check was made by the previous caller, and we can skip the current check.

2013-01-23ftrace: Add context level recursion bit checkingSteven Rostedt
Currently for recursion checking in the function tracer, ftrace tests a task_struct bit to determine if the function tracer had recursed or not. If it has, then it will will return without going further. But this leads to races. If an interrupt came in after the bit was set, the functions being traced would see that bit set and think that the function tracer recursed on itself, and would return. Instead add a bit for each context (normal, softirq, irq and nmi). A check of which context the task is in is made before testing the associated bit. Now if an interrupt preempts the function tracer after the previous context has been set, the interrupt functions can still be traced. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-01-23ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loopSteven Rostedt
There is lots of places that perform: op = rcu_dereference_raw(ftrace_control_list); while (op != &ftrace_list_end) { Add a helper macro to do this, and also optimize for a single entity. That is, gcc will optimize a loop for either no iterations or more than one iteration. But usually only a single callback is registered to the function tracer, thus the optimized case should be a single pass. to do this we now do: op = rcu_dereference_raw(list); do { [...] } while (likely(op = rcu_dereference_raw((op)->next)) && unlikely((op) != &ftrace_list_end)); An op is always registered (ftrace_list_end when no callbacks is registered), thus when a single callback is registered, the link list looks like: top => callback => ftrace_list_end => NULL. The likely(op = op->next) still must be performed due to the race of removing the callback, where the first op assignment could equal ftrace_list_end. In that case, the op->next would be NULL. But this is unlikely (only happens in a race condition when removing the callback). But it is very likely that the next op would be ftrace_list_end, unless more than one callback has been registered. This tells gcc what the most common case is and makes the fast path with the least amount of branches. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2013-01-21ftrace: Move ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS in KconfigMasami Hiramatsu
Move SAVE_REGS support flag into Kconfig and rename it to CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. This also introduces CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which indicates the architecture depending part of ftrace has a code that saves full registers. On the other hand, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS indicates the code is enabled.

2013-01-21ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modulesSteven Rostedt
If some other kernel subsystem has a module notifier, and adds a kprobe to a ftrace mcount point (now that kprobes work on ftrace points), when the ftrace notifier runs it will fail and disable ftrace, as well as kprobes that are attached to ftrace points. Here's the error: WARNING: at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:1618 ftrace_bug+0x239/0x280() Hardware name: Bochs Modules linked in: fat(+) stap_56d28a51b3fe546293ca0700b10bcb29__8059(F) nfsv4 auth_rpcgss nfs dns_resolver fscache xt_nat iptable_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat nf_conntrack lockd sunrpc ppdev parport_pc parport microcode virtio_net i2c_piix4 drm_kms_helper ttm drm i2c_core [last unloaded: bid_shared] Pid: 8068, comm: modprobe Tainted: GF 3.7.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc19.x86_64 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8105e70f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff81134106>] ? __probe_kernel_read+0x46/0x70 [<ffffffffa0180000>] ? 0xffffffffa017ffff [<ffffffffa0180000>] ? 0xffffffffa017ffff [<ffffffff8105e76a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff810fd189>] ftrace_bug+0x239/0x280 [<ffffffff810fd626>] ftrace_process_locs+0x376/0x520 [<ffffffff810fefb7>] ftrace_module_notify+0x47/0x50 [<ffffffff8163912d>] notifier_call_chain+0x4d/0x70 [<ffffffff810882f8>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x58/0x80 [<ffffffff81088336>] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x16/0x20 [<ffffffff810c2a23>] sys_init_module+0x73/0x220 [<ffffffff8163d719>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace 9ef46351e53bbf80 ]--- ftrace failed to modify [<ffffffffa0180000>] init_once+0x0/0x20 [fat] actual: cc:bb:d2:4b:e1 A kprobe was added to the init_once() function in the fat module on load. But this happened before ftrace could have touched the code. As ftrace didn't run yet, the kprobe system had no idea it was a ftrace point and simply added a breakpoint to the code (0xcc in the cc:bb:d2:4b:e1). Then when ftrace went to modify the location from a call to mcount/fentry into a nop, it didn't see a call op, but instead it saw the breakpoint op and not knowing what to do with it, ftrace shut itself down. The solution is to simply give the ftrace module notifier the max priority. This should have been done regardless, as the core code ftrace modification also happens very early on in boot up. This makes the module modification closer to core modification.
