2012-08-09futex: Test for pi_mutex on fault in futex_wait_requeue_pi()Darren Hart
commit b6070a8d9853eda010a549fa9a09eb8d7269b929 upstream. If fixup_pi_state_owner() faults, pi_mutex may be NULL. Test for pi_mutex != NULL before testing the owner against current and possibly unlocking it.

2012-08-09workqueue: perform cpu down operations from low priority cpu_notifier()Tejun Heo
commit 6575820221f7a4dd6eadecf7bf83cdd154335eda upstream. Currently, all workqueue cpu hotplug operations run off CPU_PRI_WORKQUEUE which is higher than normal notifiers. This is to ensure that workqueue is up and running while bringing up a CPU before other notifiers try to use workqueue on the CPU. Per-cpu workqueues are supposed to remain working and bound to the CPU for normal CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers. This holds mostly true even with workqueue offlining running with higher priority because workqueue CPU_DOWN_PREPARE only creates a bound trustee thread which runs the per-cpu workqueue without concurrency management without explicitly detaching the existing workers. However, if the trustee needs to create new workers, it creates unbound workers which may wander off to other CPUs while CPU_DOWN_PREPARE notifiers are in progress. Furthermore, if the CPU down is cancelled, the per-CPU workqueue may end up with workers which aren't bound to the CPU. While reliably reproducible with a convoluted artificial test-case involving scheduling and flushing CPU burning work items from CPU down notifiers, this isn't very likely to happen in the wild, and, even when it happens, the effects are likely to be hidden by the following successful CPU down. Fix it by using different priorities for up and down notifiers - high priority for up operations and low priority for down operations. Workqueue cpu hotplug operations will soon go through further cleanup. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: "Rafael J.

2012-08-09ftrace: Disable function tracing during suspend/resume and hibernation, againSrivatsa S. Bhat
commit 443772d408a25af62498793f6f805ce3c559309a upstream. If function tracing is enabled for some of the low-level suspend/resume functions, it leads to triple fault during resume from suspend, ultimately ending up in a reboot instead of a resume (or a total refusal to come out of suspended state, on some machines). This issue was explained in more detail in commit f42ac38c59e0a03d (ftrace: disable tracing for suspend to ram). However, the changes made by that commit got reverted by commit cbe2f5a6e84eebb (tracing: allow tracing of suspend/resume & hibernation code again). So, unfortunately since things are not yet robust enough to allow tracing of low-level suspend/resume functions, suspend/resume is still broken when ftrace is enabled. So fix this by disabling function tracing during suspend/resume & hibernation. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S. Bhat <srivatsa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2012-08-01cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier related damage v3Mel Gorman
commit cc9a6c8776615f9c194ccf0b63a0aa5628235545 upstream. Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. [get|put]_mems_allowed() is extremely expensive and severely impacted page allocator performance. This is part of a series of patches that reduce page allocator overhead. Commit c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") wins a super prize for the largest number of memory barriers entered into fast paths for one commit. [get|put]_mems_allowed is incredibly heavy with pairs of full memory barriers inserted into a number of hot paths. This was detected while investigating at large page allocator slowdown introduced some time after 2.6.32. The largest portion of this overhead was shown by oprofile to be at an mfence introduced by this commit into the page allocator hot path. For extra style points, the commit introduced the use of yield() in an implementation of what looks like a spinning mutex. This patch replaces the full memory barriers on both read and write sides with a sequence counter with just read barriers on the fast path side. This is much cheaper on some architectures, including x86. The main bulk of the patch is the retry logic if the nodemask changes in a manner that can cause a false failure. While updating the nodemask, a check is made to see if a false failure is a risk. If it is, the sequence number gets bumped and parallel allocators will briefly stall while the nodemask update takes place. In a page fault test microbenchmark, oprofile samples from __alloc_pages_nodemask went from 4.53% of all samples to 1.15%.

The actual number of page faults is noticeably improved. For benchmarks like kernel builds, the overall benefit is marginal but the system CPU time is slightly reduced. To test the actual bug the commit fixed I opened two terminals. The first ran within a cpuset and continually ran a small program that faulted 100M of anonymous data. In a second window, the nodemask of the cpuset was continually randomised in a loop. Without the commit, the program would fail every so often (usually within 10 seconds) and obviously with the commit everything worked fine. With this patch applied, it also worked fine so the fix should be functionally equivalent.

2012-08-01cpusets: stall when updating mems_allowed for mempolicy or disjoint nodemaskDavid Rientjes
commit b246272ecc5ac68c743b15c9e41a2275f7ce70e2 upstream. Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. [get|put]_mems_allowed() is extremely expensive and severely impacted page allocator performance. This is part of a series of patches that reduce page allocator overhead. Kernels where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG may temporarily see an empty nodemask in a tsk's mempolicy if its previous nodemask is remapped onto a new set of allowed cpuset nodes where the two nodemasks, as a result of the remap, are now disjoint. c0ff7453bb5c ("cpuset,mm: fix no node to alloc memory when changing cpuset's mems") adds get_mems_allowed() to prevent the set of allowed nodes from changing for a thread. This causes any update to a set of allowed nodes to stall until put_mems_allowed() is called. This stall is unncessary, however, if at least one node remains unchanged in the update to the set of allowed nodes. This was addressed by 89e8a244b97e ("cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one node remains set"), but it's still possible that an empty nodemask may be read from a mempolicy because the old nodemask may be remapped to the new nodemask during rebind. To prevent this, only avoid the stall if there is no mempolicy for the thread being changed. This is a temporary solution until all reads from mempolicy nodemasks can be guaranteed to not be empty without the get_mems_allowed() synchronization. Also moves the check for nodemask intersection inside task_lock() so that tsk->mems_allowed cannot change. This ensures that nothing can set this tsk's mems_allowed out from under us and also protects tsk->mempolicy.

2012-08-01cpusets: avoid looping when storing to mems_allowed if one node remains setDavid Rientjes
commit 89e8a244b97e48f1f30e898b6f32acca477f2a13 upstream. Stable note: Not tracked in Bugzilla. [get|put]_mems_allowed() is extremely expensive and severely impacted page allocator performance. This is part of a series of patches that reduce page allocator overhead. {get,put}_mems_allowed() exist so that general kernel code may locklessly access a task's set of allowable nodes without having the chance that a concurrent write will cause the nodemask to be empty on configurations where MAX_NUMNODES > BITS_PER_LONG. This could incur a significant delay, however, especially in low memory conditions because the page allocator is blocking and reclaim requires get_mems_allowed() itself. It is not atypical to see writes to cpuset.mems take over 2 seconds to complete, for example. In low memory conditions, this is problematic because it's one of the most imporant times to change cpuset.mems in the first place! The only way a task's set of allowable nodes may change is through cpusets by writing to cpuset.mems and when attaching a task to a generic code is not reading the nodemask with get_mems_allowed() at the same time, and then clearing all the old nodes. This prevents the possibility that a reader will see an empty nodemask at the same time the writer is storing a new nodemask. If at least one node remains unchanged, though, it's possible to simply set all new nodes and then clear all the old nodes. Changing a task's nodemask is protected by cgroup_mutex so it's guaranteed that two threads are not changing the same task's nodemask at the same time, so the nodemask is guaranteed to be stored before another thread changes it and determines whether a node remains set or not.

2012-08-01ntp: Fix STA_INS/DEL clearing bugJohn Stultz
commit 6b1859dba01c7d512b72d77e3fd7da8354235189 upstream. In commit 6b43ae8a619d17c4935c3320d2ef9e92bdeed05d, I introduced a bug that kept the STA_INS or STA_DEL bit from being cleared from time_status via adjtimex() without forcing STA_PLL first. Usually once the STA_INS is set, it isn't cleared until the leap second is applied, so its unlikely this affected anyone. However during testing I noticed it took some effort to cancel a leap second once STA_INS was set.

This is a backport of 3e997130bd2e8c6f5aaa49d6e3161d4d29b43ab0 The leap second rework unearthed another issue of inconsistent data. On timekeeping_resume() the timekeeper data is updated, but nothing calls timekeeping_update(), so now the update code in the timer interrupt sees stale values. This has been the case before those changes, but then the timer interrupt was using stale data as well so this went unnoticed for quite some time.

2012-07-19hrtimer: Update hrtimer base offsets each hrtimer_interruptJohn Stultz
This is a backport of 5baefd6d84163443215f4a99f6a20f054ef11236 The update of the hrtimer base offsets on all cpus cannot be made atomically from the timekeeper.lock held and interrupt disabled region as smp function calls are not allowed there. clock_was_set(), which enforces the update on all cpus, is called either from preemptible process context in case of do_settimeofday() or from the softirq context when the offset modification happened in the timer interrupt itself due to a leap second. In both cases there is a race window for an hrtimer interrupt between dropping timekeeper lock, enabling interrupts and clock_was_set() issuing the updates. Any interrupt which arrives in that window will see the new time but operate on stale offsets. So we need to make sure that an hrtimer interrupt always sees a consistent state of time and offsets. ktime_get_update_offsets() allows us to get the current monotonic time and update the per cpu hrtimer base offsets from hrtimer_interrupt() to capture a consistent state of monotonic time and the offsets. The function replaces the existing ktime_get() calls in hrtimer_interrupt(). The overhead of the new function vs. ktime_get() is minimal as it just adds two store operations. This ensures that any changes to realtime or boottime offsets are noticed and stored into the per-cpu hrtimer base structures, prior to any hrtimer expiration and guarantees that timers are not expired early.

This is a backport of 6b43ae8a619d17c4935c3320d2ef9e92bdeed05d This should have been backported when it was commited, but I mistook the problem as requiring the ntp_lock changes that landed in 3.4 in order for it to occur. Unfortunately the same issue can happen (with only one cpu) as follows: do_adjtimex() write_seqlock_irq(&xtime_lock); process_adjtimex_modes() process_adj_status() ntp_start_leap_timer() hrtimer_start() hrtimer_reprogram() tick_program_event() clockevents_program_event() ktime_get() seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock); [DEADLOCK] This deadlock will no always occur, as it requires the leap_timer to force a hrtimer_reprogram which only happens if its set and there's no sooner timer to expire. NOTE: This patch, being faithful to the original commit, introduces a bug (we don't update wall_to_monotonic), which will be resovled by backporting a following fix. Original commit message below: Since commit 7dffa3c673fbcf835cd7be80bb4aec8ad3f51168 the ntp subsystem has used an hrtimer for triggering the leapsecond adjustment. However, this can cause a potential livelock. Thomas diagnosed this as the following pattern: CPU 0 CPU 1 do_adjtimex() spin_lock_irq(&ntp_lock); process_adjtimex_modes(); timer_interrupt() process_adj_status(); do_timer() ntp_start_leap_timer(); write_lock(&xtime_lock); hrtimer_start(); update_wall_time(); hrtimer_reprogram(); ntp_tick_length() tick_program_event() spin_lock(&ntp_lock); clockevents_program_event() ktime_get() seq = req_seqbegin(xtime_lock); This patch tries to avoid the problem by reverting back to not using an hrtimer to inject leapseconds, and instead we handle the leapsecond processing in the second_overflow() function. The downside to this change is that on systems that support highres timers, the leap second processing will occur on a HZ tick boundary, (ie: ~1-10ms, depending on HZ) after the leap second instead of possibly sooner (~34us in my tests w/ x86_64 lapic). This patch applies on top of tip/timers/core.

active commit 544ecf310f0e7f51fa057ac2a295fc1b3b35a9d3 upstream. worker_enter_idle() has WARN_ON_ONCE() which triggers if nr_running isn't zero when every worker is idle. This can trigger spuriously while a cpu is going down due to the way trustee sets %WORKER_ROGUE and zaps nr_running. It first sets %WORKER_ROGUE on all workers without updating nr_running, releases gcwq->lock, schedules, regrabs gcwq->lock and then zaps nr_running. If the last running worker enters idle inbetween, it would see stale nr_running which hasn't been zapped yet and trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE().

commit b7dafa0ef3145c31d7753be0a08b3cbda51f0209 upstream. compat_sys_sigprocmask reads a smaller signal mask from userspace than sigprogmask accepts for setting. So the high word of blocked.sig[0] will be cleared, releasing any potentially blocked RT signal. This was discovered via userspace code that relies on get/setcontext. glibc's i386 versions of those functions use sigprogmask instead of rt_sigprogmask to save/restore signal mask and caused RT signal unblocking this way. As suggested by Linus, this replaces the sys_sigprocmask based compat version with one that open-codes the required logic, including the merge of the existing blocked set with the new one provided on SIG_SETMASK.

2012-04-22futex: Do not leak robust list to unprivileged processKees Cook
commit bdbb776f882f5ad431aa1e694c69c1c3d6a4a5b8 upstream. It was possible to extract the robust list head address from a setuid process if it had used set_robust_list(), allowing an ASLR info leak. This changes the permission checks to be the same as those used for similar info that comes out of /proc. Running a setuid program that uses robust futexes would have had: cred->euid != pcred->euid cred->euid == pcred->uid so the old permissions check would allow it. I'm not aware of any setuid programs that use robust futexes, so this is just a preventative measure. (This patch is based on changes from grsecurity.)

2012-04-22nohz: Fix stale jiffies update in tick_nohz_restart()Neal Cardwell
commit 6f103929f8979d2638e58d7f7fda0beefcb8ee7e upstream. Fix tick_nohz_restart() to not use a stale ktime_t "now" value when calling tick_do_update_jiffies64(now). If we reach this point in the loop it means that we crossed a tick boundary since we grabbed the "now" timestamp, so at this point "now" refers to a time in the old jiffy, so using the old value for "now" is incorrect, and is likely to give us a stale jiffies value. In particular, the first time through the loop the tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) call is always a no-op, since the caller, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(), will have already called tick_do_update_jiffies64(now) with that "now" value. Note that tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() already uses the correct approach: when we notice we cross a jiffy boundary, grab a new timestamp with ktime_get(), and *then* update jiffies.

2012-04-02genirq: Fix long-term regression in genirq irq_set_irq_type() handlingRussell King
commit a09b659cd68c10ec6a30cb91ebd2c327fcd5bfe5 upstream. In 2008, commit 0c5d1eb77a8be ("genirq: record trigger type") modified the way set_irq_type() handles the 'no trigger' condition. However, this has an adverse effect on PCMCIA support on Intel StrongARM and probably PXA platforms. PCMCIA has several status signals on the socket which can trigger interrupts; some of these status signals depend on the card's mode (whether it is configured in memory or IO mode). For example, cards have a 'Ready/IRQ' signal: in memory mode, this provides an indication to PCMCIA that the card has finished its power up initialization. In IO mode, it provides the device interrupt signal. Other status signals switch between on-board battery status and loud speaker output. In classical PCMCIA implementations, where you have a specific socket controller, the controller provides a method to mask interrupts from the socket, and importantly ignore any state transitions on the pins which correspond with interrupts once masked. This masking prevents unwanted events caused by the removal and application of socket power being forwarded. However, on platforms where there is no socket controller, the PCMCIA status and interrupt signals are routed to standard edge-triggered GPIOs. These GPIOs can be configured to interrupt on rising edge, falling edge, or never. This is where the problems start. Edge triggered interrupts are required to record events while disabled via the usual methods of {free,request,disable,enable}_irq() to prevent problems with dropped interrupts (eg, the 8390 driver uses disable_irq() to defer the delivery of interrupts). As a result, these interfaces can not be used to implement the desired behaviour. The side effect of this is that if the 'Ready/IRQ' GPIO is disabled via disable_irq() on suspend, and enabled via enable_irq() after resume, we will record the state transitions caused by powering events as valid interrupts, and foward them to the card driver, which may attempt to access a card which is not powered up. This leads delays resume while drivers spin in their interrupt handlers, and complaints from drivers before they realize what's happened. Moreover, in the case of the 'Ready/IRQ' signal, this is requested and freed by the card driver itself; the PCMCIA core has no idea whether the interrupt is requested, and, therefore, whether a call to disable_irq() would be valid. (We tried this around 2.4.17 / 2.5.1 kernel era, and ended up throwing it out because of this problem.) Therefore, it was decided back in around 2002 to disable the edge triggering instead, resulting in all state transitions on the GPIO being ignored. That's what we actually need the hardware to do. The commit above changes this behaviour; it explicitly prevents the 'no trigger' state being selected. The reason that request_irq() does not accept the 'no trigger' state is for compatibility with existing drivers which do not provide their desired triggering configuration. The set_irq_type() function is 'new' and not used by non-trigger aware drivers. Therefore, revert this change, and restore previously working platforms back to their former state.

commit 62d3c5439c534b0e6c653fc63e6d8c67be3a57b1 upstream. This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events polling. The polling is done by a work routine queued on the system_nrt_wq workqueue. Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition. Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.

2012-02-29epoll: introduce POLLFREE to flush ->signalfd_wqh before kfree()Oleg Nesterov
commit d80e731ecab420ddcb79ee9d0ac427acbc187b4b upstream. This patch is intentionally incomplete to simplify the review. It ignores ep_unregister_pollwait() which plays with the same wqh. See the next change. epoll assumes that the EPOLL_CTL_ADD'ed file controls everything f_op->poll() needs. In particular it assumes that the wait queue can't go away until eventpoll_release(). This is not true in case of signalfd, the task which does EPOLL_CTL_ADD uses its ->sighand which is not connected to the file. This patch adds the special event, POLLFREE, currently only for epoll. It expects that init_poll_funcptr()'ed hook should do the necessary cleanup. Perhaps it should be defined as EPOLLFREE in eventpoll. __cleanup_sighand() is changed to do wake_up_poll(POLLFREE) if ->signalfd_wqh is not empty, we add the new signalfd_cleanup() helper. ep_poll_callback(POLLFREE) simply does list_del_init(task_list). This make this poll entry inconsistent, but we don't care. If you share epoll fd which contains our sigfd with another process you should blame yourself. signalfd is "really special". I simply do not know how we can define the "right" semantics if it used with epoll. The main problem is, epoll calls signalfd_poll() once to establish the connection with the wait queue, after that signalfd_poll(NULL) returns the different/inconsistent results depending on who does EPOLL_CTL_MOD/signalfd_read/etc. IOW: apart from sigmask, signalfd has nothing to do with the file, it works with the current thread. In short: this patch is the hack which tries to fix the symptoms. It also assumes that nobody can take tasklist_lock under epoll locks, this seems to be true. Note: - we do not have wake_up_all_poll() but wake_up_poll() is fine, poll/epoll doesn't use WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE. - signalfd_cleanup() uses POLLHUP along with POLLFREE, we need a couple of simple changes in eventpoll.c to make sure it can't be "lost".

2012-02-29genirq: Handle pending irqs in irq_startup()Thomas Gleixner
commit b4bc724e82e80478cba5fe9825b62e71ddf78757 upstream. An interrupt might be pending when irq_startup() is called, but the startup code does not invoke the resend logic. In some cases this prevents the device from issuing another interrupt which renders the device non functional. Call the resend function in irq_startup() to keep things going.

2012-02-29genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not wokenThomas Gleixner
commit ac5637611150281f398bb7a47e3fcb69a09e7803 upstream. When the primary handler of an interrupt which is marked IRQ_ONESHOT returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_NONE, then the interrupt thread is not woken and the unmask logic of the interrupt line is never invoked. This keeps the interrupt masked forever. This was not noticed as most IRQ_ONESHOT users wake the thread unconditionally (usually because they cannot access the underlying device from hard interrupt context). Though this behaviour was nowhere documented and not necessarily intentional. Some drivers can avoid the thread wakeup in certain cases and run into the situation where the interrupt line s kept masked. Handle it gracefully.

2012-02-13lockdep, bug: Exclude TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND from disabling lockdepPeter Zijlstra
commit df754e6af2f237a6c020c0daff55a1a609338e31 upstream. It's unlikely that TAINT_FIRMWARE_WORKAROUND causes false lockdep messages, so do not disable lockdep in that case. We still want to keep lockdep disabled in the TAINT_OOT_MODULE case: - bin-only modules can cause various instabilities in their and in unrelated kernel code - they are impossible to debug for kernel developers - they also typically do not have the copyright license permission to link to the GPL-ed lockdep code.

2012-02-13sched/rt: Fix task stack corruption under __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSWChanho Min
commit cb297a3e433dbdcf7ad81e0564e7b804c941ff0d upstream. This issue happens under the following conditions: 1. preemption is off 2. __ARCH_WANT_INTERRUPTS_ON_CTXSW is defined 3. RT scheduling class 4. SMP system Sequence is as follows: 1.suppose current task is A. start schedule() 2.task A is enqueued pushable task at the entry of schedule() __schedule prev = rq->curr; ... put_prev_task put_prev_task_rt enqueue_pushable_task 4.pick the task B as next task. next = pick_next_task(rq); 3.rq->curr set to task B and context_switch is started. rq->curr = next; 4.At the entry of context_swtich, release this cpu's rq->lock. context_switch prepare_task_switch prepare_lock_switch raw_spin_unlock_irq(&rq->lock); 5.Shortly after rq->lock is released, interrupt is occurred and start IRQ context 6.try_to_wake_up() which called by ISR acquires rq->lock try_to_wake_up ttwu_remote rq = __task_rq_lock(p) ttwu_do_wakeup(rq, p, wake_flags); task_woken_rt 7.push_rt_task picks the task A which is enqueued before. task_woken_rt push_rt_tasks(rq) next_task = pick_next_pushable_task(rq) 8.At find_lock_lowest_rq(), If double_lock_balance() returns 0, lowest_rq can be the remote rq. (But,If preemption is on, double_lock_balance always return 1 and it does't happen.) push_rt_task find_lock_lowest_rq if (double_lock_balance(rq, lowest_rq)).. 9.find_lock_lowest_rq return the available rq. task A is migrated to the remote cpu/rq. push_rt_task ... deactivate_task(rq, next_task, 0); set_task_cpu(next_task, lowest_rq->cpu); activate_task(lowest_rq, next_task, 0); 10. But, task A is on irq context at this cpu. So, task A is scheduled by two cpus at the same time until restore from IRQ. Task A's stack is corrupted. To fix it, don't migrate an RT task if it's still running.

2012-02-13kprobes: fix a memory leak in function pre_handler_kretprobe()Jiang Liu
commit 55ca6140e9bb307efc97a9301a4f501de02a6fd6 upstream. In function pre_handler_kretprobe(), the allocated kretprobe_instance object will get leaked if the entry_handler callback returns non-zero. This may cause all the preallocated kretprobe_instance objects exhausted. This issue can be reproduced by changing samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c to probe "mutex_unlock". And the fix is straightforward: just put the allocated kretprobe_instance object back onto the free_instances list.

2012-02-03cap_syslog: don't use WARN_ONCE for CAP_SYS_ADMIN deprecation warningJonathan Nieder
commit f2c0d0266cc5eb36a4aa44944b4096ec121490aa upstream. syslog-ng versions before 3.3.0beta1 (2011-05-12) assume that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is sufficient to access syslog, so ever since CAP_SYSLOG was introduced (2010-11-25) they have triggered a warning. Commit ee24aebffb75 ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now") improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping the WARN_ONCE(). But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a recent kernel. Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.

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.
