From 13b9b6e746d753d43270a78dd39694912646b5d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2010 22:19:24 -0500 Subject: tracing: Fix module use of trace_bprintk() On use of trace_printk() there's a macro that determines if the format is static or a variable. If it is static, it defaults to __trace_bprintk() otherwise it uses __trace_printk(). A while ago, Lai Jiangshan added __trace_bprintk(). In that patch, we discussed a way to allow modules to use it. The difference between __trace_bprintk() and __trace_printk() is that for faster processing, just the format and args are stored in the trace instead of running it through a sprintf function. In order to do this, the format used by the __trace_bprintk() had to be persistent. See commit 1ba28e02a18cbdbea123836f6c98efb09cbf59ec The problem comes with trace_bprintk() where the module is unloaded. The pointer left in the buffer is still pointing to the format. To solve this issue, the formats in the module were copied into kernel core. If the same format was used, they would use the same copy (to prevent memory leak). This all worked well until we tried to merge everything. At the time this was written, Lai Jiangshan, Frederic Weisbecker, Ingo Molnar and myself were all touching the same code. When this was merged, we lost the part of it that was in module.c. This kept out the copying of the formats and unloading the module could cause bad pointers left in the ring buffer. This patch adds back (with updates required for current kernel) the module code that sets up the necessary pointers.

This triggering happened right after function tracer self test was executed. After doing a config bisect I found that this was caused with having function tracer, paravirt guest, prove locking, and rcu torture all enabled. The rcu torture just enhanced the likelyhood of triggering the bug. Prove locking was needed, since it was the thing that was bugging. Function tracer would trace and disable interrupts in all sorts of funny places. paravirt guest would turn arch_local_irq_* into functions that would be traced. Besides the fact that tracing arch_local_irq_* is just a bad idea, this is what is happening. The bug happened simply in the local_irq_restore() code: if (raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)) { \ raw_local_irq_restore(flags); \ trace_hardirqs_off(); \ } else { \ trace_hardirqs_on(); \ raw_local_irq_restore(flags); \ } \ The raw_local_irq_restore() was defined as arch_local_irq_restore(). Now imagine, we are about to enable interrupts. We go into the else case and call trace_hardirqs_on() which tells lockdep that we are enabling interrupts, so it sets the current->hardirqs_enabled = 1. Then we call raw_local_irq_restore() which calls arch_local_irq_restore() which gets traced! Now in the function tracer we disable interrupts with local_irq_save(). This is fine, but flags is stored that we have interrupts disabled. When the function tracer calls local_irq_restore() it does it, but this time with flags set as disabled, so we go into the if () path. This keeps interrupts disabled and calls trace_hardirqs_off() which sets current->hardirqs_enabled = 0. When the tracer is finished and proceeds with the original code, we enable interrupts but leave current->hardirqs_enabled as 0. Which now breaks lockdeps internal processing.

These trap bits might be set if another exception will follow, like a breakpoint in the next instruction, or a watchpoint in the previous one. Or there can be any junk there. So if we handle these trap bits during the single step exception, we are going to handle an exception twice, or we are going to handle junk. Just ignore them in this case.

The boot arguments are: earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait Then simply type "go" at the kdb prompt and boot. The kernel will later emit the message: kgdb: Could not allocate hwbreakpoints And at that point the kernel debugger will cease to work correctly. The solution is to initialize the hw_breakpoint at the same time that all the other perf call backs are initialized instead of using a core_initcall() initialization which happens well after the kernel debugger can make use of hardware breakpoints.

There's two different aspects to this: - kernel based perf-events, these should not take out a reference on the creating task and appear on the task's event list since they're not bound to fds nor visible to userspace. - fork() and pthread_create(), these can lead to the creating task dying (and thus the task's event-list becomming useless) but keeping the list and ref alive until the event is closed. Combined they lead to malfunction of the ptrace hw_tracepoints. Cure this by not considering kernel based perf_events for the owner-list and destroying the owner-list when the owner dies.

Fix this by converting the code to use container_of().
