2012-07-16tracing: change CPU ring buffer state from tracing_cpumaskVaibhav Nagarnaik
commit 71babb2705e2203a64c27ede13ae3508a0d2c16c upstream. According to Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt: tracing_cpumask: This is a mask that lets the user only trace on specified CPUS. The format is a hex string representing the CPUS. The tracing_cpumask currently doesn't affect the tracing state of per-CPU ring buffers. This patch enables/disables CPU recording as its corresponding bit in tracing_cpumask is set/unset.

2012-02-03ftrace: Fix unregister ftrace_ops accountingJiri Olsa
commit 30fb6aa74011dcf595f306ca2727254d708b786e upstream. Multiple users of the function tracer can register their functions with the ftrace_ops structure. The accounting within ftrace will update the counter on each function record that is being traced. When the ftrace_ops filtering adds or removes functions, the function records will be updated accordingly if the ftrace_ops is still registered. When a ftrace_ops is removed, the counter of the function records, that the ftrace_ops traces, are decremented. When they reach zero the functions that they represent are modified to stop calling the mcount code. When changes are made, the code is updated via stop_machine() with a command passed to the function to tell it what to do. There is an ENABLE and DISABLE command that tells the called function to enable or disable the functions. But the ENABLE is really a misnomer as it should just update the records, as records that have been enabled and now have a count of zero should be disabled. The DISABLE command is used to disable all functions regardless of their counter values. This is the big off switch and is not the complement of the ENABLE command. To make matters worse, when a ftrace_ops is unregistered and there is another ftrace_ops registered, neither the DISABLE nor the ENABLE command are set when calling into the stop_machine() function and the records will not be updated to match their counter. A command is passed to that function that will update the mcount code to call the registered callback directly if it is the only one left. This means that the ftrace_ops that is still registered will have its callback called by all functions that have been set for it as well as the ftrace_ops that was just unregistered. Here's a way to trigger this bug. Compile the kernel with CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER set and with CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH not set: CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER=y # CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH is not set This will force the function profiler to use the function tracer instead of the function graph tracer. # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter # echo function > current_tracer # cat set_ftrace_filter schedule # cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 692/68108025 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | kworker/0:2-909 [000] .... 531.235574: schedule <-worker_thread <idle>-0 [001] .N.. 531.235575: schedule <-cpu_idle kworker/0:2-909 [000] .... 531.235597: schedule <-worker_thread sshd-2563 [001] .... 531.235647: schedule <-schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock # echo 1 > function_profile_enabled # echo 0 > function_porfile_enabled # cat set_ftrace_filter schedule # cat trace # tracer: function # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 159701/118821262 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | <idle>-0 [002] ...1 604.870655: local_touch_nmi <-cpu_idle <idle>-0 [002] d..1 604.870655: enter_idle <-cpu_idle <idle>-0 [002] d..1 604.870656: atomic_notifier_call_chain <-enter_idle <idle>-0 [002] d..1 604.870656: __atomic_notifier_call_chain <-atomic_notifier_call_chain The same problem could have happened with the trace_probe_ops, but they are modified with the set_frace_filter file which does the update at closure of the file. The simple solution is to change ENABLE to UPDATE and call it every time an ftrace_ops is unregistered.

2012-02-03ftrace: Balance records when updating the hashSteven Rostedt
commit 41fb61c2d08107ce96a5dcb3a6289b2afd3e135c upstream. Whenever the hash of the ftrace_ops is updated, the record counts must be balance. This requires disabling the records that are set in the original hash, and then enabling the records that are set in the updated hash. Moving the update into ftrace_hash_move() removes the bug where the hash was updated but the records were not, which results in ftrace triggering a warning and disabling itself because the ftrace_ops filter is updated while the ftrace_ops was registered, and then the failure happens when the ftrace_ops is unregistered. The current code will not trigger this bug, but new code will. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2011-12-09tracing: fix event_subsystem ref countingIlya Dryomov
commit cb59974742aea24adf6637eb0c4b8e7b48bca6fb upstream. Fix a bug introduced by e9dbfae5, which prevents event_subsystem from ever being released. Ref_count was added to keep track of subsystem users, not for counting events. Subsystem is created with ref_count = 1, so there is no need to increment it for every event, we have nr_events for that. Fix this by touching ref_count only when we actually have a new user - subsystem_open().

2011-11-11tracing: Fix returning of duplicate data after EOF in trace_pipe_rawSteven Rostedt
commit 436fc280261dcfce5af38f08b89287750dc91cd2 upstream. The trace_pipe_raw handler holds a cached page from the time the file is opened to the time it is closed. The cached page is used to handle the case of the user space buffer being smaller than what was read from the ring buffer. The left over buffer is held in the cache so that the next read will continue where the data left off. After EOF is returned (no more data in the buffer), the index of the cached page is set to zero. If a user app reads the page again after EOF, the check in the buffer will see that the cached page is less than page size and will return the cached page again. This will cause reading the trace_pipe_raw again after EOF to return duplicate data, making the output look like the time went backwards but instead data is just repeated. The fix is to not reset the index right after all data is read from the cache, but to reset it after all data is read and more data exists in the ring buffer.

2011-10-16ftrace: Fix regression where ftrace breaks when modules are loadedSteven Rostedt
commit f7bc8b61f65726ff98f52e286b28e294499d7a08 upstream. Enabling function tracer to trace all functions, then load a module and then disable function tracing will cause ftrace to fail. This can also happen by enabling function tracing on the command line: ftrace=function and during boot up, modules are loaded, then you disable function tracing with 'echo nop > current_tracer' you will trigger a bug in ftrace that will shut itself down. The reason is, the new ftrace code keeps ref counts of all ftrace_ops that are registered for tracing. When one or more ftrace_ops are registered, all the records that represent the functions that the ftrace_ops will trace have a ref count incremented. If this ref count is not zero, when the code modification runs, that function will be enabled for tracing. If the ref count is zero, that function will be disabled from tracing. To make sure the accounting was working, FTRACE_WARN_ON()s were added to updating of the ref counts. If the ref count hits its max (> 2^30 ftrace_ops added), or if the ref count goes below zero, a FTRACE_WARN_ON() is triggered which disables all modification of code. Since it is common for ftrace_ops to trace all functions in the kernel, instead of creating > 20,000 hash items for the ftrace_ops, the hash count is just set to zero, and it represents that the ftrace_ops is to trace all functions. This is where the issues arrise. If you enable function tracing to trace all functions, and then add a module, the modules function records do not get the ref count updated. When the function tracer is disabled, all function records ref counts are subtracted. Since the modules never had their ref counts incremented, they go below zero and the FTRACE_WARN_ON() is triggered. The solution to this is rather simple. When modules are loaded, and their functions are added to the the ftrace pool, look to see if any ftrace_ops are registered that trace all functions. And for those, update the ref count for the module function records. Reported-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-10-16ftrace: Fix regression of :mod:module function enablingSteven Rostedt
commit 43dd61c9a09bd413e837df829e6bfb42159be52a upstream. The new code that allows different utilities to pick and choose what functions they trace broke the :mod: hook that allows users to trace only functions of a particular module. The reason is that the :mod: hook bypasses the hash that is setup to allow individual users to trace their own functions and uses the global hash directly. But if the global hash has not been set up, it will cause a bug: echo '*:mod:radeon' > /sys/kernel/debug/set_ftrace_filter produces: [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id [drm:radeon_crtc_page_flip] *ERROR* failed to reserve new rbo buffer before flip BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffffff8160ec90 IP: [<ffffffff810d9136>] add_hash_entry+0x66/0xd0 PGD 1a05067 PUD 1a09063 PMD 80000000016001e1 Oops: 0003 [#1] SMP Jul 7 04:02:28 phyllis kernel: [55303.858604] CPU 1 Modules linked in: cryptd aes_x86_64 aes_generic binfmt_misc rfcomm bnep ip6table_filter hid radeon r8169 ahci libahci mii ttm drm_kms_helper drm video i2c_algo_bit intel_agp intel_gtt Pid: 10344, comm: bash Tainted: G WC 3.0.0-rc5 #1 Dell Inc.

2011-08-04tracing: Have "enable" file use refcounts like the "filter" fileSteven Rostedt
commit 40ee4dffff061399eb9358e0c8fcfbaf8de4c8fe upstream. The "enable" file for the event system can be removed when a module is unloaded and the event system only has events from that module. As the event system nr_events count goes to zero, it may be freed if its ref_count is also set to zero. Like the "filter" file, the "enable" file may be opened by a task and referenced later, after a module has been unloaded and the events for that event system have been removed. Although the "filter" file referenced the event system structure, the "enable" file only references a pointer to the event system name. Since the name is freed when the event system is removed, it is possible that an access to the "enable" file may reference a freed pointer. Update the "enable" file to use the subsystem_open() routine that the "filter" file uses, to keep a reference to the event system structure while the "enable" file is opened.

2011-08-04tracing: Fix bug when reading system filters on module removalSteven Rostedt
commit e9dbfae53eeb9fc3d4bb7da3df87fa9875f5da02 upstream. The event system is freed when its nr_events is set to zero. This happens when a module created an event system and then later the module is removed. Modules may share systems, so the system is allocated when it is created and freed when the modules are unloaded and all the events under the system are removed (nr_events set to zero). The problem arises when a task opened the "filter" file for the system. If the module is unloaded and it removed the last event for that system, the system structure is freed. If the task that opened the filter file accesses the "filter" file after the system has been freed, the system will access an invalid pointer. By adding a ref_count, and using it to keep track of what is using the event system, we can free it after all users are finished with the event system.

2011-05-25ftrace: Add internal recursive checksSteven Rostedt
Witold reported a reboot caused by the selftests of the dynamic function tracer. He sent me a config and I used ktest to do a config_bisect on it (as my config did not cause the crash). It pointed out that the problem config was CONFIG_PROVE_RCU. What happened was that if multiple callbacks are attached to the function tracer, we iterate a list of callbacks. Because the list is managed by synchronize_sched() and preempt_disable, the access to the pointers uses rcu_dereference_raw(). When PROVE_RCU is enabled, the rcu_dereference_raw() calls some debugging functions, which happen to be traced. The tracing of the debug function would then call rcu_dereference_raw() which would then call the debug function and then... well you get the idea. I first wrote two different patches to solve this bug. 1) add a __rcu_dereference_raw() that would not do any checks. 2) add notrace to the offending debug functions. Both of these patches worked. Talking with Paul McKenney on IRC, he suggested to add recursion detection instead. This seemed to be a better solution, so I decided to implement it. As the task_struct already has a trace_recursion to detect recursion in the ring buffer, and that has a very small number it allows, I decided to use that same variable to add flags that can detect the recursion inside the infrastructure of the function tracer. I plan to change it so that the task struct bit can be checked in mcount, but as that requires changes to all archs, I will hold that off to the next merge window.

2011-05-18ftrace: Modify ftrace_set_filter/notrace to take opsSteven Rostedt
Since users of the function tracer can now pick and choose which functions they want to trace agnostically from other users of the function tracer, we need to pass the ops struct to the ftrace_set_filter() functions. The functions ftrace_set_global_filter() and ftrace_set_global_notrace() is added to keep the old filter functions which are used to modify the generic function tracers.

2011-05-18ftrace: Allow dynamically allocated function tracersSteven Rostedt
Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that structure will trace. Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount from being preempted before calling the function, unless we modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a preempt_disable. To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between _sdata and _edata.

2011-05-18ftrace: Implement separate user function filteringSteven Rostedt
ftrace_ops that are registered to trace functions can now be agnostic to each other in respect to what functions they trace. Each ops has their own hash of the functions they want to trace and a hash to what they do not want to trace. A empty hash for the functions they want to trace denotes all functions should be traced that are not in the notrace hash. Cc: Paul E.

2011-05-18ftrace: Free hash with call_rcu_sched()Steven Rostedt
When a hash is modified and might be in use, we need to perform a schedule RCU operation on it, as the hashes will soon be used directly in the function tracer callback. Cc: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-18ftrace: Have global_ops store the functions that are to be tracedSteven Rostedt
This is a step towards each ops structure defining its own set of functions to trace. As the current code with pid's and such are specific to the global_ops, it is restructured to be used with the global ops. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-18ftrace: Add ops parameter to ftrace_startup/shutdown functionsSteven Rostedt
In order to allow different ops to enable different functions, the ftrace_startup() and ftrace_shutdown() functions need the ops parameter passed to them. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-18ftrace: Add enabled_functions fileSteven Rostedt
Add the enabled_functions file that is used to show all the functions that have been enabled for tracing as well as their ref counts. This helps seeing if any function has been registered and what functions are being traced. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-18ftrace: Use counters to enable functions to traceSteven Rostedt
Every function has its own record that stores the instruction pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can be used by new functions (loaded modules). These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace, those functions will have its counter incremented. When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced, the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace. When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter is not incremented for this ftrace_ops. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-18ftrace: Separate hash allocation and assignmentSteven Rostedt
When filtering, allocate a hash to insert the function records. After the filtering is complete, assign it to the ftrace_ops structure. This allows the ftrace_ops structure to have a much smaller array of hash buckets instead of wasting a lot of memory. A read only empty_hash is created to be the minimum size that any ftrace_ops can point to. When a new hash is created, it has the following steps: o Allocate a default hash. o Walk the function records assigning the filtered records to the hash o Allocate a new hash with the appropriate size buckets o Move the entries from the default hash to the new hash.

2011-05-18ftrace: Create a global_ops to hold the filter and notrace hashesSteven Rostedt
Combine the filter and notrace hashes to be accessed by a single entity, the global_ops. The global_ops is a ftrace_ops structure that is passed to different functions that can read or modify the filtering of the function tracer. The ftrace_ops structure was modified to hold a filter and notrace hashes so that later patches may allow each ftrace_ops to have its own set of rules to what functions may be filtered.

2011-05-18ftrace: Use hash instead for FTRACE_FL_FILTERSteven Rostedt
When multiple users are allowed to have their own set of functions to trace, having the FTRACE_FL_FILTER flag will not be enough to handle the accounting of those users. Each user will need their own set of functions. Replace the FTRACE_FL_FILTER with a filter_hash instead. This is temporary until the rest of the function filtering accounting gets in. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-05-18ftrace: Replace FTRACE_FL_NOTRACE flag with a hash of ignored functionsSteven Rostedt
To prepare for the accounting system that will allow multiple users of the function tracer, having the FTRACE_FL_NOTRACE as a flag in the dyn_trace record does not make sense. All ftrace_ops will soon have a hash of functions they should trace and not trace. By making a global hash of functions not to trace makes this easier for the transition.

2011-05-06Regression: partial revert "tracing: Remove lock_depth from event entry"Arjan van de Ven
This partially reverts commit e6e1e2593592a8f6f6380496655d8c6f67431266. That commit changed the structure layout of the trace structure, which in turn broke PowerTOP (1.9x generation) quite badly. I appreciate not wanting to expose the variable in question, and PowerTOP was not using it, so I've replaced the variable with just a padding field - that way if in the future a new field is needed it can just use this padding field.

2011-04-29ftrace: Consolidate the function match routines for normal and modsSteven Rostedt
The code used for matching functions is almost identical between normal selecting of functions and using the :mod: feature of set_ftrace_notrace. Consolidate the two users into one function. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-04-29ftrace: Consolidate updating of ftrace_trace_functionSteven Rostedt
There are three locations that perform almost identical functions in order to update the ftrace_trace_function (the ftrace function variable that gets called by mcount). Consolidate these into a single function called update_ftrace_function(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-04-29ftrace: Move record update for normal and modules into a separate functionSteven Rostedt
The updating of a function record is moved to a single function. This will allow us to add specific changes in one location for both modules and kernel functions. Later patches will determine if the function record itself needs to be updated (which enables the mcount caller), or just the ftrace_ops needs the update. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-04-29ftrace: Remove FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flagSteven Rostedt
Since we disable all function tracer processing if we detect that a modification of a instruction had failed, we do not need to track that the record has failed. No more ftrace processing is allowed, and the FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag is pointless. The FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED flag was used to denote records that were successfully converted from mcount calls into nops. But if a single record fails, all of ftrace is disabled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-04-29ftrace: Remove FTRACE_FL_FAILED flagSteven Rostedt
Since we disable all function tracer processing if we detect that a modification of a instruction had failed, we do not need to track that the record has failed. No more ftrace processing is allowed, and the FTRACE_FL_FAILED flag is pointless. Removing this flag simplifies some of the code, but some ftrace_disabled checks needed to be added or move around a little. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-04-29ftrace: Remove failures fileSteven Rostedt
The failures file in the debugfs tracing directory would list the functions that failed to convert when the old dead ftrace daemon tried to update code but failed. Since this code is now dead along with the daemon the failures file is useless. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2011-04-29ftrace: Remove unnecessary disabling of irqsSteven Rostedt
The disabling of interrupts around ftrace_update_code() was used to protect against the evil ftrace daemon from years past. But that daemon has long been killed. It is safe to keep interrupts enabled while updating the initial mcount into nops. The ftrace_mutex is also held which keeps other users at bay. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2011-04-29ftrace: Only update the function code on write to filter filesSteven Rostedt
