2013-07-30tracing: Change event_enable/disable_read() to verify i_private != NULLOleg Nesterov
tracing_open_generic_file() is racy, ftrace_event_file can be already freed by rmdir or trace_remove_event_call(). Change event_enable_read() and event_disable_read() to read and verify "file = i_private" under event_mutex. This fixes nothing, but now we can change debugfs_remove("enable") callers to nullify ->i_private and fix the the problem.

2013-07-30tracing: Turn event/id->i_private into call->event.typeOleg Nesterov
event_id_read() is racy, ftrace_event_call can be already freed by trace_remove_event_call() callers. Change event_create_dir() to pass "data = call->event.type", this is all event_id_read() needs. ftrace_event_id_fops no longer needs tracing_open_generic(). We add the new helper, event_file_data(), to read ->i_private, it will have more users. Note: currently ACCESS_ONCE() and "id != 0" check are not needed, but we are going to change event_remove/rmdir to clear ->i_private.

2013-07-26tracing: Add __tracepoint_string() to export string pointersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
There are several tracepoints (mostly in RCU), that reference a string pointer and uses the print format of "%s" to display the string that exists in the kernel, instead of copying the actual string to the ring buffer (saves time and ring buffer space). But this has an issue with userspace tools that read the binary buffers that has the address of the string but has no access to what the string itself is. The end result is just output that looks like: rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeaa 1 0 rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000 rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b The above is pretty useless when read by the userspace tools. Ideally we would want something that looks like this: rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0 rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000 rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0 rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880037aff710 func=put_cred_rcu 0/4 rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880078961980 func=file_free_rcu 0/5 rcu_dyntick: End 0 1 The trace_printk() which also only stores the address of the string format instead of recording the string into the buffer itself, exports the mapping of kernel addresses to format strings via the printk_format file in the debugfs tracing directory. The tracepoint strings can use this same method and output the format to the same file and the userspace tools will be able to decipher the address without any modification. The tracepoint strings need its own section to save the strings because the trace_printk section will cause the trace_printk() buffers to be allocated if anything exists within the section. trace_printk() is only used for debugging and should never exist in the kernel, we can not use the trace_printk sections. Add a new tracepoint_str section that will also be examined by the output of the printk_format file. Cc: Paul E.

2013-07-26tracing: Remove locking trace_types_lock from tracing_reset_all_online_cpus()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Commit a82274151af "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c" added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock. This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often which explains why it wasn't caught right away. Commit a82274151af was marked for stable, which means this must be sent to stable too.

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.

2013-07-24tracing: Introduce trace_create_cpu_file() and tracing_get_cpu()Oleg Nesterov
Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy. f_op->open/etc does: 1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private; struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr; 2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail; 3. do_something(tc); But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called. And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad. Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the freed/reused memory. Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper, tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS. The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers, it would be trivial to change them if needed. This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations. Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

2013-07-19tracing: Do not (ab)use trace_seq in event_id_read()Oleg Nesterov
event_id_read() has no reason to kmalloc "struct trace_seq" (more than PAGE_SIZE!), it can use a small buffer instead. Note: "if (*ppos) return 0" looks strange and even wrong, simple_read_from_buffer() handles ppos != 0 case corrrectly. And it seems that almost every user of trace_seq in this file should be converted too. Unless you use seq_open(), trace_seq buys nothing compared to the raw buffer, but it needs a bit more memory and code.

2013-07-19tracing: Simplify the iteration logic in f_start/f_nextOleg Nesterov
f_next() looks overcomplicated, and it is not strictly correct even if this doesn't matter. Say, FORMAT_FIELD_SEPERATOR should not return NULL (means EOF) if trace_get_fields() returns an empty list, we should simply advance to FORMAT_PRINTFMT as we do when we find the end of list. 1. Change f_next() to return "struct list_head *" rather than "ftrace_event_field *", and change f_show() to do list_entry(). This simplifies the code a bit, only f_show() needs to know about ftrace_event_field, and f_next() can play with ->prev directly 2. Change f_next() to not play with ->prev / return inside the switch() statement. It can simply set node = head/common_head, the prev-or-advance-to-the-next-magic below does all work. While at it. f_start() looks overcomplicated too. I don't think *pos == 0 makes sense as a separate case, just change this code to do "while" instead of "do/while". The patch also moves f_start() down, close to f_stop(). This is purely cosmetic, just to make the locking added by the next patch more clear/visible.

2013-07-19tracing: Add ref_data to function and fgraph tracer structsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The selftest for function and function graph tracers are defined as __init, as they are only executed at boot up. The "tracer" structs that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures need to be annotated with __ref_data. Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next" pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to wait till the next major release.

As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about. These include: New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called. The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function. Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning" which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered. This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the data before you can disable it.

[root@jovi tracing]#echo "syscalls:sys_enter_open" > set_event [root@jovi tracing]# cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 13/13 #P:2 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | irqbalance-513 [000] d... 56115.496766: sys_open(filename: 804e1a6, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) irqbalance-513 [000] d... 56115.497008: sys_open(filename: 804e1bb, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) sendmail-771 [000] d... 56115.827982: sys_open(filename: b770e6d1, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) The reason is syscall tracing doesn't record irq_flags into buffer. The proper display is: [root@jovi tracing]#echo "syscalls:sys_enter_open" > set_event [root@jovi tracing]# cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 14/14 #P:2 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | irqbalance-514 [001] .... 46.213921: sys_open(filename: 804e1a6, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) irqbalance-514 [001] .... 46.214160: sys_open(filename: 804e1bb, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) <...>-920 [001] .... 47.307260: sys_open(filename: 4e82a0c5, flags: 80000, mode: 0) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1365564393-10972-3-git-send-email-jovi.zhangwei@huawei.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.35 Signed-off-by: zhangwei(Jovi) <jovi.zhangwei@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2013-07-03tracing: Fix race between deleting buffer and setting eventsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
While analyzing the code, I discovered that there's a potential race between deleting a trace instance and setting events. There are a few races that can occur if events are being traced as the buffer is being deleted. Mostly the problem comes with freeing the descriptor used by the trace event callback. To prevent problems like this, the events are disabled before the buffer is deleted. The problem with the current solution is that the event_mutex is let go between disabling the events and freeing the files, which means that the events could be enabled again while the freeing takes place.

2013-07-02tracing: Add trace_array_get/put() to event handlingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Commit a695cb58162 "tracing: Prevent deleting instances when they are being read" tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances # ( while :; do mkdir foo; rmdir foo; done ) & # ( while :; do echo 1 > foo/events/sched/sched_switch 2> /dev/null; done ) & Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless. The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the write to the event is opened, but before the enabling happens. The solution is to make sure the trace_array is available before succeeding in opening for write, and incerment the ref counter while opened. Now the instance can be deleted when the events are writing to the buffer, but the deletion of the instance will disable all events before the instance is actually deleted.

2013-07-02tracing: Add trace_array_get/put() to handle instance refs betterSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Commit a695cb58162 "tracing: Prevent deleting instances when they are being read" tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances # ( while :; do mkdir foo; rmdir foo; done ) & # ( while :; do cat foo/trace &> /dev/null; done ) & Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless. The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the reader starts to open the file but before it grabs the trace_types_mutex. The solution is to validate the trace array before using it. If the trace array does not exist in the list of trace arrays, then it returns -ENODEV. There's a possibility that a trace_array could be deleted and a new one created and the open would open its file instead. But that is very minor as it will just return the data of the new trace array, it may confuse the user but it will not crash the system. As this can only be done by root anyway, the race will only occur if root is deleting what its trying to read at the same time.

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>

2013-07-02tracing: Use flag buffer_disabled for irqsoff tracerSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
If the ring buffer is disabled and the irqsoff tracer records a trace it will clear out its buffer and lose the data it had previously recorded. Currently there's a callback when writing to the tracing_of file, but if tracing is disabled via the function tracer trigger, it will not inform the irqsoff tracer to stop recording. By using the "mirror" flag (buffer_disabled) in the trace_array, that keeps track of the status of the trace_array's buffer, it gives the irqsoff tracer a fast way to know if it should record a new trace or not. The flag may be a little behind the real state of the buffer, but it should not affect the trace too much. It's more important for the irqsoff tracer to be fast.

I think that "ftrace_event_file *trace_probe[]" complicates the code for no reason, turn it into list_head to simplify the code. enable_trace_probe() no longer needs synchronize_sched(). This needs the extra sizeof(list_head) memory for every attached ftrace_event_file, hopefully not a problem in this case.

2013-07-02tracing: Fix disabling of soft disableTom Zanussi
The comment on the soft disable 'disable' case of __ftrace_event_enable_disable() states that the soft disable bit should be cleared in that case, but currently only the soft mode bit is actually cleared. This essentially leaves the standard non-soft-enable enable/disable paths as the only way to clear the soft disable flag, but the soft disable bit should also be cleared when removing a trigger with '!'. Also, the SOFT_DISABLED bit should never be set if SOFT_MODE is cleared. This fixes the above discrepancies.

2013-07-02tracing/kprobes: Kill probe_enable_lockOleg Nesterov
enable_trace_probe() and disable_trace_probe() should not worry about serialization, the caller (perf_trace_init or __ftrace_set_clr_event) holds event_mutex. They are also called by kprobe_trace_self_tests_init(), but this __init function can't race with itself or trace_events.c And note that this code depended on event_mutex even before 41a7dd420c which introduced probe_enable_lock. In fact it assumes that the caller kprobe_register() can never race with itself. Otherwise, say, tp->flags manipulations are racy.

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit() make no sense if this task/CPU has no active counters. Change kprobe_perf_func() and kretprobe_perf_func() to check call->perf_events beforehand and return if this list is empty. For example, "perf record -e some_probe -p1". Only /sbin/init will report, all other threads which hit the same probe will do perf_trace_buf_prepare/perf_trace_buf_submit just to realize that nobody wants perf_swevent_event().

The console produces: "Failed to create system directory kprobes" This is because kprobes passes in a allocated name for the system and the ftrace event subsystem saves off that name instead of creating a duplicate for it. But the kprobes may free the system name making the pointer to it invalid. This bug was introduced by 92edca073c37 "tracing: Use direct field, type and system names" which switched from using kstrdup() on the system name in favor of just keeping apointer to it, as the internal ftrace event system names are static and exist for the life of the computer being booted. Instead of reverting back to duplicating system names again, we can use core_kernel_data() to determine if the passed in name was allocated or static. Then use the MSB of the ref_count to be a flag to keep track if the name was allocated or not. Then we can still save from having to duplicate strings that will always exist, but still copy the ones that may be freed.
