2013-04-18Revert "block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 3a366e614d0837d9fc23f78cdb1a1186ebc3387f. Wanlong Gao reports that it causes a kernel panic on his machine several minutes after boot. Reverting it removes the panic. Jens says: "It's not quite clear why that is yet, so I think we should just revert the commit for 3.9 final (which I'm assuming is pretty close). The wifi is crap at the LSF hotel, so sending this email instead of queueing up a revert and pull request."

2013-04-12ftrace: Move ftrace_filter_lseek out of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE sectionSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
As ftrace_filter_lseek is now used with ftrace_pid_fops, it needs to be moved out of the #ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section as the ftrace_pid_fops is defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not.

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.

2013-03-14tracing: Prevent buffer overwrite disabled for latency tracersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The latency tracers require the buffers to be in overwrite mode, otherwise they get screwed up. Force the buffers to stay in overwrite mode when latency tracers are enabled. Added a flag_changed() method to the tracer structure to allow the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able to prevent the change from happing.

2013-03-14tracing: Keep overwrite in sync between regular and snapshot buffersSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Changing the overwrite mode for the ring buffer via the trace option only sets the normal buffer. But the snapshot buffer could swap with it, and then the snapshot would be in non overwrite mode and the normal buffer would be in overwrite mode, even though the option flag states otherwise. Keep the two buffers overwrite modes in sync. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-03-14tracing: Protect tracer flags with trace_types_lockSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Seems that the tracer flags have never been protected from synchronous writes. Luckily, admins don't usually modify the tracing flags via two different tasks. But if scripts were to be used to modify them, then they could get corrupted. Move the trace_types_lock that protects against tracers changing to also protect the flags being set.

2013-03-13tracing: Fix free of probe entry by calling call_rcu_sched()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
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(). Also fix the usage to use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del(). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Paul McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-03-12tracing: Fix race in snapshot swappingSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock. It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong temp buffer to assign in the swap. Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers. New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger. I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

2013-03-07tracing: Do not return EINVAL in snapshot when not allocatedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer now writes to what was the snapshot buffer. To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file. To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns -EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to do nothing and return success.

2013-03-07tracing: Add help of snapshot feature when snapshot is emptySteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
When cat'ing the snapshot file, instead of showing an empty trace header like the trace file does, show how to use the snapshot feature. Also, this is a good place to show if the snapshot has been allocated or not. Users may want to "pre allocate" the snapshot to have a fast "swap" of the current buffer. Otherwise, a swap would be slow and might fail as it would need to allocate the snapshot buffer, and that might fail under tight memory constraints. Here's what it looked like before: # 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 # | | | |||| | | Here's what it looks like now: # tracer: nop # # # * Snapshot is freed * # # Snapshot commands: # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated. # Takes a snapshot of the main buffer. # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate) # (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that # is not a '0' or '1') Acked-by: Hiraku Toyooka <hiraku.toyooka.gu@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2013-02-27hlist: 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.

2013-02-27ftrace: Update the kconfig for DYNAMIC_FTRACESteven Rostedt
The prompt to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE (the ability to nop and enable function tracing at run time) had a confusing statement: "enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically" This was written before tracepoints were added to the kernel, but now that tracepoints have been added, this is very confusing and has confused people enough to give wrong information during presentations. Not only that, I looked at the help text, and it still references that dreaded daemon that use to wake up once a second to update the nop locations and brick NICs, that hasn't been around for over five years. Time to bring the text up to the current decade. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2013-02-18ftrace: 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.

2013-02-12tracing/syscalls: Allow archs to ignore tracing compat syscallsSteven Rostedt
The tracing of ia32 compat system calls has been a bit of a pain as they use different system call numbers than the 64bit equivalents. I wrote a simple 'lls' program that lists files.

The calls are obviously incorrect, and confusing. Other efforts have been made to fix this: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/26/367 But the real solution is to rewrite the syscall internals and come up with a fixed solution. One that doesn't require all the kluge that the current solution has. Thus for now, instead of outputting incorrect data, simply ignore them. With this patch the changes now have: #> grep lls /debug/tracing/trace #> Compat system calls simply are not traced. If users need compat syscalls, then they should just use the raw syscall tracepoints. For an architecture to make their compat syscalls ignored, it must define ARCH_TRACE_IGNORE_COMPAT_SYSCALLS (done in asm/ftrace.h) and also define an arch_trace_is_compat_syscall() function that will return true if the current task should ignore tracing the syscall. I want to stress that this change does not affect actual syscalls in any way, shape or form. It is only used within the tracing system and doesn't interfere with the syscall logic at all. The changes are consolidated nicely into trace_syscalls.c and asm/ftrace.h. I had to make one small modification to asm/thread_info.h and that was to remove the include of asm/ftrace.h. As asm/ftrace.h required the current_thread_info() it was causing include hell. That include was added back in 2008 when the function graph tracer was added: commit caf4b323 "tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing" It does not need to be included there.

2013-02-08uprobes/perf: Avoid uprobe_apply() whenever possibleOleg Nesterov
uprobe_perf_open/close call the costly uprobe_apply() every time, we can avoid it if: - "nr_systemwide != 0" is not changed. - There is another process/thread with the same ->mm. - copy_proccess() does inherit_event(). dup_mmap() preserves the inserted breakpoints. - event->attr.enable_on_exec == T, we can rely on uprobe_mmap() called by exec/mmap paths. - tp_target is exiting. Only _close() checks PF_EXITING, I don't think TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN can hit the dying task too often. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
2013-02-08uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to use UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVEOleg Nesterov
Change uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func() to return "int". Change uprobe_dispatcher() to return "trace_ret | perf_ret" although this is not needed, currently TP_FLAG_TRACE/TP_FLAG_PROFILE are mutually exclusive. The only functional change is that uprobe_perf_func() checks the filtering too and returns UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE if nobody wants to trace current. Testing: # perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall # perf record -e probe_libc:syscall -i perl -e 'fork; syscall -1 for 1..10; wait' # perf report --show-total-period 100.00% 10 perl libc-2.8.so [.] syscall Before this patch: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile /lib/libc.so.6 syscall 20 A child process doesn't have a counter, but still it hits this breakoint "copied" by dup_mmap().

2013-02-08uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to pre-filterOleg Nesterov
Finally implement uprobe_perf_filter() which checks ->nr_systemwide or ->perf_events to figure out whether we need to insert the breakpoint. uprobe_perf_open/close are changed to do uprobe_apply(true/false) when the new perf event comes or goes away. Note that currently this is very suboptimal: - uprobe_register() called by TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER becomes a heavy nop, consumer->filter() always returns F at this stage. As it was already discussed we need uprobe_register_only() to avoid the costly register_for_each_vma() when possible. - uprobe_apply() is oftenly overkill. Unless "nr_systemwide != 0" changes we need uprobe_apply_mm(), unapply_uprobe() is almost what we need. - uprobe_apply() can be simply avoided sometimes, see the next changes. Testing: # perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall # perl -e 'syscall -1 while 1' & [1] 530 # perf record -e probe_libc:syscall perl -e 'syscall -1 for 1..10; sleep 1' # perf report --show-total-period 100.00% 10 perl libc-2.8.so [.] syscall Before this patch: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile /lib/libc.so.6 syscall 79291 A huge ->nrhit == 79291 reflects the fact that the background process 530 constantly hits this breakpoint too, even if doesn't contribute to the output. After the patch: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile /lib/libc.so.6 syscall 10 This shows that only the target process was punished by int3. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
2013-02-08uprobes/perf: Teach trace_uprobe/perf code to track the active perf_event'sOleg Nesterov
Introduce "struct trace_uprobe_filter" which records the "active" perf_event's attached to ftrace_event_call. For the start we simply use list_head, we can optimize this later if needed. For example, we do not really need to record an event with ->parent != NULL, we can rely on parent->child_list. And we can certainly do some optimizations for the case when 2 events have the same ->tp_target or tp_target->mm. Change trace_uprobe_register() to process TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN/CLOSE and add/del this perf_event to the list. We can probably avoid any locking, but lets start with the "obvioulsy correct" trace_uprobe_filter->rwlock which protects everything. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

2013-02-08uprobes/tracing: Fully initialize uprobe_trace_consumer before uprobe_register()Oleg Nesterov
probe_event_enable() does uprobe_register() and only after that sets utc->tu and tu->consumer/flags. This can race with uprobe_dispatcher() which can miss these assignments or see them out of order. Nothing really bad can happen, but this doesn't look clean/safe. And this does not allow to use uprobe_consumer->filter() we are going to add, it is called by uprobe_register() and it needs utc->tu. Change this code to initialize everything before uprobe_register(), and reset tu->consumer/flags if it fails. We can't race with event_disable(), the caller holds event_mutex, and if we could the code would be wrong anyway. In fact I think uprobe_trace_consumer should die, it buys nothing but complicates the code. We can simply add uprobe_consumer into trace_uprobe.

Change handle_swbp() to set regs->ip = bp_vaddr in advance, this is what consumer->handler() needs but uprobe_get_swbp_addr() is not exported. This also simplifies the code and makes it more consistent across the supported architectures. handle_swbp() becomes the only caller of uprobe_get_swbp_addr().

2013-02-08uprobes: Kill uprobe_consumer->filter()Oleg Nesterov
uprobe_consumer->filter() is pointless in its current form, kill it. We will add it back, but with the different signature/semantics. Perhaps we will even re-introduce the callsite in handler_chain(), but not to just skip uc->handler().

2013-02-01tracing: Init current_trace to nop_trace and remove NULL checksSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
On early boot up, when the ftrace ring buffer is initialized, the static variable current_trace is initialized to &nop_trace. Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer. Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the paths to these locations would probably not be possible. By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared, current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be checked in the first place.

2013-01-30tracing: Make a snapshot feature available from userspaceHiraku Toyooka
Ftrace has a snapshot feature available from kernel space and latency tracers (e.g. irqsoff) are using it. This patch enables user applictions to take a snapshot via debugfs. Add "snapshot" debugfs file in "tracing" directory. snapshot: This is used to take a snapshot and to read the output of the snapshot. # echo 1 > snapshot This will allocate the spare buffer for snapshot (if it is not allocated), and take a snapshot. # cat snapshot This will show contents of the snapshot. # echo 0 > snapshot This will free the snapshot if it is allocated. Any other positive values will clear the snapshot contents if the snapshot is allocated, or return EINVAL if it is not allocated.

2013-01-30tracing: Replace static old_tracer check of tracer nameHiraku Toyooka
Currently the trace buffer read functions use a static variable "old_tracer" for detecting if the current tracer changes. This was suitable for a single trace file ("trace"), but to add a snapshot feature that will use the same function for its file, a check against a static variable is not sufficient. To use the output functions for two different files, instead of storing the current tracer in a static variable, as the trace iterator descriptor contains a pointer to the original current tracer's name, that pointer can now be used to check if the current tracer has changed between different reads of the trace file.

2013-01-30tracing: Use sched_clock_cpu for trace_clock_globalNamhyung Kim
For systems with an unstable sched_clock, all cpu_clock() does is enable/ disable local irq during the call to sched_clock_cpu(). And for stable systems they are same. trace_clock_global() already disables interrupts, so it can call sched_clock_cpu() directly.
