It has become an obsession to mitigate the determinism vs. throughput
loss of RT. Looking at the mainline semantics of preemption points
gives a hint why RT sucks throughput wise for ordinary SCHED_OTHER
tasks. One major issue is the wakeup of tasks which are right away
preempting the waking task while the waking task holds a lock on which
the woken task will block right after having preempted the wakee. In
mainline this is prevented due to the implicit preemption disable of
spin/rw_lock held regions. On RT this is not possible due to the fully
preemptible nature of sleeping spinlocks.
Though for a SCHED_OTHER task preempting another SCHED_OTHER task this
is really not a correctness issue. RT folks are concerned about
SCHED_FIFO/RR tasks preemption and not about the purely fairness
driven SCHED_OTHER preemption latencies.
So I introduced a lazy preemption mechanism which only applies to
SCHED_OTHER tasks preempting another SCHED_OTHER task. Aside of the
existing preempt_count each tasks sports now a preempt_lazy_count
which is manipulated on lock acquiry and release. This is slightly
incorrect as for lazyness reasons I coupled this on
migrate_disable/enable so some other mechanisms get the same treatment
(e.g. get_cpu_light).
Now on the scheduler side instead of setting NEED_RESCHED this sets
NEED_RESCHED_LAZY in case of a SCHED_OTHER/SCHED_OTHER preemption and
therefor allows to exit the waking task the lock held region before
the woken task preempts. That also works better for cross CPU wakeups
as the other side can stay in the adaptive spinning loop.
For RT class preemption there is no change. This simply sets
NEED_RESCHED and forgoes the lazy preemption counter.
Initial test do not expose any observable latency increasement, but
history shows that I've been proven wrong before :)
The lazy preemption mode is per default on, but with
CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG enabled it can be disabled via:
# echo NO_PREEMPT_LAZY >/sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
and reenabled via
# echo PREEMPT_LAZY >/sys/kernel/debug/sched_features
The test results so far are very machine and workload dependent, but
there is a clear trend that it enhances the non RT workload
performance.

Make migrate_disable() be a preempt_disable() for !rt kernels. This
allows generic code to use it but still enforces that these code
sections stay relatively small.
A preemptible migrate_disable() accessible for general use would allow
people growing arbitrary per-cpu crap instead of clean these things
up.

RT added two bytes to trace migrate disable counting to the trace events
and used two bytes of the padding to make the change. The structures and
all were updated correctly, but the display in the event formats was
not:
cat /debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format
name: sched_switch
ID: 51
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:unsigned short common_migrate_disable; offset:8; size:2; signed:0;
field:int common_padding; offset:10; size:2; signed:0;
The field for common_padding has the correct size and offset, but the
use of "int" might confuse some parsers (and people that are reading
it). This needs to be changed to "unsigned short".

This patch provides a recording mechanism to store data of potential
sources of system latencies. The recordings separately determine the
latency caused by a delayed timer expiration, by a delayed wakeup of the
related user space program and by the sum of both. The histograms can be
enabled and reset individually. The data are accessible via the debug
filesystem. For details please consult Documentation/trace/histograms.txt.

commit 45ab2813d40d88fc575e753c38478de242d03f88 upstream.
If a module fails to add its tracepoints due to module tainting, do not
create the module event infrastructure in the debugfs directory. As the events
will not work and worse yet, they will silently fail, making the user wonder
why the events they enable do not display anything.
Having a warning on module load and the events not visible to the users
will make the cause of the problem much clearer.

commit a404d5576bbe586a1097a8bc2f32c5f22651b0aa upstream.
Currently each task sends BLK_TN_PROCESS event to the first traced
device it interacts with after a new trace is started. When there are
several traced devices and the task accesses more devices, this logic
can result in BLK_TN_PROCESS being sent several times to some devices
while it is never sent to other devices. Thus blkparse doesn't display
command name when parsing some blktrace files.
Fix the problem by sending BLK_TN_PROCESS event to all traced devices
when a task interacts with any of them.

commit d651aa1d68a2f0a7ee65697b04c6a92f8c0a12f2 upstream.
Each sub-buffer (buffer page) has a full 64 bit timestamp. The events on
that page use a 27 bit delta against that timestamp in order to save on
bits written to the ring buffer. If the time between events is larger than
what the 27 bits can hold, a "time extend" event is added to hold the
entire 64 bit timestamp again and the events after that hold a delta from
that timestamp.
As a "time extend" is always paired with an event, it is logical to just
allocate the event with the time extend, to make things a bit more efficient.
Unfortunately, when the pairing code was written, it removed the "delta = 0"
from the first commit on a page, causing the events on the page to be
slightly skewed.

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() {

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.

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).

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).

If trace_puts() is used very early in boot up, it can crash the machine
if it is called before the ring buffer is allocated. If a trace_printk()

commit dced341b2d4f06668efaab33f88de5d287c0f45b upstream.
The trace buffer has a descriptor pointer that goes back to the trace
array. But it was never assigned. Luckily, nothing uses it (yet), but
it will in the future.
Although nothing currently uses this, if any of the new features get
backported to older kernels, and because this is such a simple change,
I'm marking it for stable too.

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.

The above mentioned commit didn't go far enough. 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.

commit 12ae030d54ef250706da5642fc7697cc60ad0df7 upstream.
The current default perf paranoid level is "1" which has
"perf_paranoid_kernel()" return false, and giving any operations that
use it, access to normal users. Unfortunately, this includes function
tracing and normal users should not be allowed to enable function
tracing by default.
The proper level is defined at "-1" (full perf access), which
"perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" will only give access to. Use that
check instead for enabling function tracing.

The out-of-bounds access happens on 'parser->buffer[parser->idx] = 0;'
Although the crash happened in ftrace_regex_open() the real bug
occurred in trace_get_user() where there's an incrementation to
parser->idx without a check against the size. The way it is triggered
is if userspace sends in 128 characters (EVENT_BUF_SIZE + 1), the loop
that reads the last character stores it and then breaks out because
there is no more characters. Then the last character is read to determine
what to do next, and the index is incremented without checking size.
Then the caller of trace_get_user() usually nulls out the last character
with a zero, but since the index is equal to the size, it writes a nul
character after the allocated space, which can corrupt memory.
Luckily, only root user has write access to this file.

The changes for 3.12 are mostly clean ups and minor fixes.
H Peter Anvin added a check to x86_32 static function tracing that
helps a small segment of the kernel community.
Oleg Nesterov had a few changes from 3.11, but were mostly clean ups
and not worth pushing in the -rc time frame.
Li Zefan had small clean up with annotating a raw_init with __init.
I fixed a slight race in updating function callbacks, but the race is
so small and the bug that happens when it occurs is so minor it's not
even worth pushing to stable.

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.

However after the recent changes there is no reason to prevent rmmod

Fixed two issues with changing the timestamp clock with trace_clock:
- The global buffer was reset on instance clock changes. Change this to pass
the correct per-instance buffer
- ftrace_now() is used to set buf->time_start in tracing_reset_online_cpus().
This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to
return the current time. Change this to use buffer_ftrace_now() which
returns the current time for the correct per-instance buffer.
Also removed tracing_reset_current() because it is not used anywhere

tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains
a comment about that, but it doesn't help.
The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is
snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed.
The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to
cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was
converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask.
Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read
from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed.
The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe
can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

Uprobes suffer the same problem that kprobes have. There's a race between
writing to the "enable" file and removing the probe. The probe checks for
it being in use and if it is not, goes about deleting the probe and the
event that represents it. But the problem with that is, after it checks
if it is in use it can be enabled, and the deletion of the event (access
to the probe) will fail, as it is in use. But the uprobe will still be
deleted. This is a problem as the event can reference the uprobe that
was deleted.
The fix is to remove the event first, and check to make sure the event
removal succeeds. Then it is safe to remove the probe.
When the event exists, either ftrace or perf can enable the probe and
prevent the event from being removed.

When a probe is being removed, it cleans up the event files that correspond
to the probe. But there is a race between writing to one of these files
and deleting the probe. This is especially true for the "enable" file.

The unregister_trace_probe() must be done first, and if it fails it must
fail the removal of the kprobe.
Several changes have already been made by Oleg Nesterov and Masami Hiramatsu
to allow moving the unregister_probe_event() before the removal of
the probe and exit the function if it fails. This prevents the tp
structure from being used after it is freed.

The "break" used in the do_for_each_event_file() is used as an optimization
as the loop is really a double loop. The loop searches all event files
for each trace_array. There's only one matching event file per trace_array
and after we find the event file for the trace_array, the break is used
to jump to the next trace_array and start the search there.
As this is not a standard way of using "break" in C code, it requires
a comment right before the break to let people know what is going on.

Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this
call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify
outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c
need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort
if trace_remove_event_call() fails.
The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that
nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds.
debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove()
does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need
the additional checks:
- There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the
patch checks ->perf_refcount.
- TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE,
so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

---[ end trace 793179526ee09b2c ]---
It was finally narrowed down to unloading a module that was being traced.
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.

When ftrace ops modifies the functions that it will trace, the update
to the function mcount callers may need to be modified. Consolidate
the two places that do the checks to see if an update is required
with a wrapper function for those checks.

Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every
file we are going to remove.
We need to check file->dir != NULL because event_create_dir()
can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch
moves it under the same check anyway for readability.
spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed
afaics, but I do not understand this code enough.
tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file()
can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops()
use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled.
This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete().
f_op->read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call,
all event/* files were changed to check and use ->i_private
under event_mutex.
Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can
destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but
those changes are completely orthogonal.

Preparation for the next patch. Extract the common code from
remove_event_from_tracers() and __trace_remove_event_dirs()
into the new helper, remove_event_file_dir().
The patch looks more complicated than it actually is, it also
moves remove_subsystem() up to avoid the forward declaration.

trace_format_open() and trace_format_seq_ops are racy, nothing
protects ftrace_event_call from trace_remove_event_call().
Change f_start() to take event_mutex and verify i_private != NULL,
change f_stop() to drop this lock.
This fixes nothing, but now we can change debugfs_remove("format")
callers to nullify ->i_private and fix the the problem.
Note: the usage of event_mutex is sub-optimal but simple, we can
change this later.

event_filter_read/write() are racy, ftrace_event_call can be already
freed by trace_remove_event_call() callers.
1. Shift mutex_lock(event_mutex) from print/apply_event_filter to
the callers.
2. Change the callers, event_filter_read() and event_filter_write()
to read i_private under this mutex and abort if it is NULL.
This fixes nothing, but now we can change debugfs_remove("filter")
callers to nullify ->i_private and fix the the problem.
