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.

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.

2013-07-02tracing: Failed to create system directorySteven Rostedt
Running the following: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo p:i do_sys_open > kprobe_events # echo p:j schedule >> kprobe_events # cat kprobe_events p:kprobes/i do_sys_open p:kprobes/j schedule # echo p:i do_sys_open >> kprobe_events # cat kprobe_events p:kprobes/j schedule p:kprobes/i do_sys_open # ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/ enable filter j Notice that the 'i' is missing from the kprobes directory. 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.

2013-06-20tracing: Disable tracing on warningSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the ring buffer. This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse, by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

2013-06-20tracing: Add binary '&' filter for eventsSteven Rostedt
There are some cases when filtering on a set flag of a field of a tracepoint is useful. But currently the only filtering commands for numbered fields is ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=. This does not help when you just want to trace if a specific flag is set. For example: > # sudo trace-cmd record -e brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg -f 'level & 0x40000' > disable all > enable brcmfmac:brcmf_dbg > path = /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/brcmfmac/brcmf_dbg/enable > (level & 0x40000) > ^ > parse_error: Invalid operator > When trying to trace brcmf_dbg when level has its 1 << 18 bit set, the filter fails to perform. By allowing a binary '&' operation, this gives the user the ability to test a bit. Note, a binary '|' is not added, as it doesn't make sense as fields must be compared to constants (for now), and ORing a constant will always return true.

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.

Commit 4f271a2a60c748599b30bb4dafff30d770439b96 (tracing: Add a proc file to stop tracing and free buffer) implement a method to free up ring buffer in kernel memory in the release code path of free_buffer's fd. Then we don't need read/write support for free_buffer, indeed we just have a dummy write fop, and don't implement read fop. So the 0200 is more reasonable file mode for free_buffer than the current file mode 0644.

This is useful when debugging a tripple fault, where you have an idea of a function that is called just before the tripple fault occurs, and can tell ftrace to dump its content out to the console before it continues. This differs from the "dump" command as it only dumps the content of the ring buffer for the currently executing CPU, and does not show the contents of the other CPUs.

Then, this patch uses tr->clock_id instead of the global variable trace_clock_id.

2013-06-06tracing: Use current_uid() for critical time tracingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The irqsoff tracer records the max time that interrupts are disabled. There are hooks in the assembly code that calls back into the tracer when interrupts are disabled or enabled. When they are enabled, the tracer checks if the amount of time they were disabled is larger than the previous recorded max interrupts off time.

The trace buffer was saved along with various information about the task: comm, pid, uid, priority, etc. The uid is recorded with task_uid(tsk). But this is a macro that uses rcu_read_lock() to retrieve the data, and this happened to happen where RCU is blind (user_enter). As only the preempt and irqs off tracers can have this happen, and they both only have the tsk == current, if tsk == current, use current_uid() instead of task_uid(), as current_uid() does not use RCU as only current can change its uid. This fixes the RCU suspicious splat. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The tracing infrastructure sets up for possible CPUs, but it uses the ring buffer polling, it is possible to call the ring buffer polling code with a CPU that hasn't been allocated. This will cause a kernel oops when it access a ring buffer cpu buffer that is part of the possible cpus but hasn't been allocated yet as the CPU has never been online.

2013-05-23tracing: Fix crash when ftrace=nop on the kernel command lineSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
If ftrace=<tracer> is on the kernel command line, when that tracer is registered, it will be initiated by tracing_set_tracer() to execute that tracer. The nop tracer is just a stub tracer that is used to have no tracer enabled. It is assigned at early bootup as it is the default tracer. But if ftrace=nop is on the kernel command line, the registering of the nop tracer will call tracing_set_tracer() which will try to execute the nop tracer. But it expects tr->current_trace to be assigned something as it usually is assigned to the nop tracer. As it hasn't been assigned to anything yet, it causes the system to crash. The simple fix is to move the tr->current_trace = nop before registering the nop tracer. The functionality is still the same as the nop tracer doesn't do anything anyway.

2013-05-16tracing: Return -EBUSY when event_enable_func() fails to get moduleMasami Hiramatsu
Since try_module_get() returns false( = 0) when it fails to pindown a module, event_enable_func() returns 0 which means "succeed". This can cause a kernel panic when the entry is removed, because the event is already released. This fixes the bug by returning -EBUSY, because the reason why it fails is that the module is being removed at that time.

When the first function probe is added and the function tracer is updated the functions are modified to call the probe. But when a second function is added, it updates the function records to have the second function also update, but it fails to update the actual function itself. This prevents the second (or third or forth and so on) probes from having their functions called. # echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:sched:sched_switch > set_ftrace_filter # echo vfs_unlink:enable_event:sched:sched_switch > set_ftrace_filter # cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | # touch /tmp/a # rm /tmp/a # cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | # ln -s /tmp/a # cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 414/414 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | <idle>-0 [000] d..3 2847.923031: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/0 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=bash next_pid=2786 next_prio=120 <...>-3114 [001] d..4 2847.923035: sched_switch: prev_comm=ln prev_pid=3114 prev_prio=120 prev_state=x ==> next_comm=swapper/1 next_pid=0 next_prio=120 bash-2786 [000] d..3 2847.923535: sched_switch: prev_comm=bash prev_pid=2786 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=kworker/0:1 next_pid=34 next_prio=120 kworker/0:1-34 [000] d..3 2847.923552: sched_switch: prev_comm=kworker/0:1 prev_pid=34 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/0 next_pid=0 next_prio=120 <idle>-0 [002] d..3 2847.923554: sched_switch: prev_comm=swapper/2 prev_pid=0 prev_prio=120 prev_state=R ==> next_comm=sshd next_pid=2783 next_prio=120 sshd-2783 [002] d..3 2847.923660: sched_switch: prev_comm=sshd prev_pid=2783 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/2 next_pid=0 next_prio=120 Still need to update the functions even though the probe itself does not need to be registered again when added a new probe.

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.

Modify soft-mode flag only if no other soft-mode referrer (currently only the ftrace triggers) by using a reference counter in each ftrace_event_file. Without this fix, adding and removing several different enable/disable_event triggers on the same event clear soft-mode bit from the ftrace_event_file. This also happens with a typo of glob on setting triggers. e.g. # echo vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter # cat events/net/netif_rx/enable 0* # echo typo_func:enable_event:net:netif_rx > set_ftrace_filter # cat events/net/netif_rx/enable 0 # cat set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### vfs_symlink:enable_event:net:netif_rx:unlimited As above, we still have a trigger, but soft-mode is gone.

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. This makes regex_lock protect #1-#4, and ftrace_lock to protect #3, #4 and adding and removing ftrace_ops from the ftrace_ops_list. The ftrace_lock protects #3 as well because the move functions update the entries too.
