tracing/filters: return proper error code when writing filter file

2009-04-12T09:59:29Z

- propagate return value of filter_add_pred() to the user - return -ENOSPC but not -ENOMEM or -EINVAL when the filter array is full Signed-off-by: Li Zefan Acked-by: Tom Zanussi Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Steven Rostedt LKML-Reference: <49E04CF0.3010105@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracing/filters: allow user input integer to be oct or hex

2009-04-12T09:59:28Z

Before patch: # echo 'parent_pid == 0x10' > events/sched/sched_process_fork/filter # cat sched/sched_process_fork/filter parent_pid == 0 After patch: # cat sched/sched_process_fork/filter parent_pid == 16 Also check the input more strictly.

tracing/filters: fix NULL pointer dereference

2009-04-12T09:59:28Z

Try this, and you'll see NULL pointer dereference bug: # echo -n 'parent_comm ==' > sched/sched_process_fork/filter Because we passed NULL ptr to simple_strtoull().

tracing/filters: NIL-terminate user input filter

2009-04-12T09:59:27Z

Make sure messages from user space are NIL-terminated strings, otherwise we could dump random memory while reading filter file.

ftrace: Output REC->var instead of __entry->var for trace format

2009-04-10T13:48:53Z

print fmt: "irq=%d return=%s", __entry->irq, __entry->ret ? \"handled\" : \"unhandled\" "__entry" should be convert to "REC" by __stringify() macro. Signed-off-by: Zhao Lei Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Steven Rostedt LKML-Reference: <49DC679D.2090901@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracing: fix document references

2009-04-10T11:08:50Z

When moving documents to Documentation/trace/, I forgot to grep Kconfig to find out those references.

tracing: fix splice return too large

2009-04-10T10:44:46Z

I got these from strace: splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 12288 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 16384 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192 splice(0x3, 0, 0x5, 0, 0x1000, 0x1) = 8192 I wanted to splice_read 4096 bytes, but it returns 8192 or larger. It is because the return value of tracing_buffers_splice_read() does not include "zero out any left over data" bytes. But tracing_buffers_read() includes these bytes, we make them consistent.

tracing: update file->f_pos when splice(2) it

2009-04-10T10:44:44Z

Impact: Cleanup These two lines: if (unlikely(*ppos)) return -ESPIPE; in tracing_buffers_splice_read() are not needed, VFS layer has disabled seek(2). We remove these two lines, and then we can update file->f_pos. And tracing_buffers_read() updates file->f_pos, this fix make tracing_buffers_splice_read() updates file->f_pos too.

tracing: allocate page when needed

2009-04-10T10:44:43Z

Impact: Cleanup Sometimes, we open trace_pipe_raw, but we don't read(2) it, we just splice(2) it, thus, the page is not used. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Steven Rostedt LKML-Reference: <49D4666B.4010608@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracing: disable seeking for trace_pipe_raw

2009-04-10T10:44:42Z

Impact: disable pread() We set tracing_buffers_fops.llseek to no_llseek, but we can still perform pread() to read this file. That is not expected. This fix uses nonseekable_open() to disable it. tracing_buffers_fops.llseek is still set to no_llseek, it mark this file is a "non-seekable device" and is used by sys_splice(). See also do_splice() or manual of splice(2): ERRORS EINVAL Target file system doesn't support splicing; neither of the descriptors refers to a pipe; or offset given for non-seekable device.
