But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for both algorithms to use the same logic in one place. - Add poll to trace event hist files It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know that the event it is waiting for happened. - Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature. Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event, then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded. This also works from the kernel command line, where "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up, its events will be enabled then. * tag 'trace-v6.14-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) tracing: Fix output of set_event for some cached module events tracing: Fix allocation of printing set_event file content tracing: Rename update_cache() to update_mod_cache() tracing: Fix #if CONFIG_MODULES to #ifdef CONFIG_MODULES selftests/ftrace: Add test that tests event :mod: commands tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yet tracing: Add :mod: command to enabled module events selftests/tracing: Add hist poll() support test tracing/hist: Support POLLPRI event for poll on histogram tracing/hist: Add poll(POLLIN) support on hist file tracing: Fix using ret variable in tracing_set_tracer() tracepoint: Reduce duplication of __DO_TRACE_CALL tracing/string: Create and use __free(argv_free) in trace_dynevent.c tracing: Switch trace_stat.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_stack.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_osnoise.c code over to use guard() and __free() tracing: Switch trace_events_synth.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_filter.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_trigger.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_hist.c code over to use guard() ...
| * tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yetSteven Rostedt13 days1-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the :mod: command is written into /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event (or that file within an instance), if the module specified after the ":mod:" is not yet loaded, it will store that string internally. When the module is loaded, it will enable the events as if the module was loaded when the string was written into the set_event file. This can also be useful to enable events that are in the init section of the module, as the events are enabled before the init section is executed. This also works on the kernel command line: trace_event=:mod:<module> Will enable the events for <module> when it is loaded.

The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this method does not scale. The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started, every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex. - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This greatly improves its performance. - Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the kernel command line. The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature. Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up (before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the kernel command line function filtering to allow it. * tag 'ftrace-v6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) ftrace: Implement :mod: cache filtering on kernel command line tracing: Adopt __free() and guard() for trace_fprobe.c bpf: Use ftrace_get_symaddr() for kprobe_multi probes ftrace: Add ftrace_get_symaddr to convert fentry_ip to symaddr Documentation: probes: Update fprobe on function-graph tracer selftests/ftrace: Add a test case for repeating register/unregister fprobe selftests: ftrace: Remove obsolate maxactive syntax check tracing/fprobe: Remove nr_maxactive from fprobe fprobe: Add fprobe_header encoding feature fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracer s390/tracing: Enable HAVE_FTRACE_GRAPH_FUNC ftrace: Add CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_GRAPH_FUNC bpf: Enable kprobe_multi feature if CONFIG_FPROBE is enabled tracing/fprobe: Enable fprobe events with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS tracing: Add ftrace_fill_perf_regs() for perf event tracing: Add ftrace_partial_regs() for converting ftrace_regs to pt_regs fprobe: Use ftrace_regs in fprobe exit handler fprobe: Use ftrace_regs in fprobe entry handler fgraph: Pass ftrace_regs to retfunc fgraph: Replace fgraph_ret_regs with ftrace_regs ...

This location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space parameters and record them. Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers (perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow faults. - Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic - Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API - Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used - Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic - Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy() - Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr() - Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled - Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with atomic64_inc_return(counter) - Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE - Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used - Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph tracer is also running. When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the parent function of the function tracer sometimes is "return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address. - Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure - Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack function filter. echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter Would cause a kernel NULL dereference. - Minor clean ups * tag 'trace-v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (31 commits) ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter tracing: Fix function name for trampoline ftrace: Get the true parent ip for function tracer tracing: Remove redundant check on field->field in histograms bpf: ensure RCU Tasks Trace GP for sleepable raw tracepoint BPF links bpf: decouple BPF link/attach hook and BPF program sleepable semantics bpf: put bpf_link's program when link is safe to be deallocated tracing: Replace strncpy() with strscpy() when copying comm tracing: Add might_fault() check in __DECLARE_TRACE_SYSCALL tracing: Fix syscall tracepoint use-after-free tracing: Introduce tracepoint_is_faultable() tracing: Introduce tracepoint extended structure tracing: Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT tracing: Replace multiple deprecated strncpy with memcpy tracing: Make percpu stack trace buffer invariant to PAGE_SIZE tracing: Use atomic64_inc_return() in trace_clock_counter() trace/trace_event_perf: remove duplicate samples on the first tracepoint event tracing/bpf: Add might_fault check to syscall probes tracing/perf: Add might_fault check to syscall probes tracing/ftrace: Add might_fault check to syscall probes ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was possible to enable tracing with no IRQ tracing support. The tracing infrastructure would then record TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT as the only tracing flag and show an 'X' in the output. The last user of this feature was PPC32 which managed to implement it during PowerPC merge in 2009. Since then, it was unused and the PPC32 dependency was finally removed in commit 0ea5ee035133a ("tracing: Remove PPC32 wart from config TRACING_SUPPORT"). Since the PowerPC merge the code behind !CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT with TRACING enabled can no longer be selected used and the 'X' is not displayed or recorded. Remove the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT from the tracing code. Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT.

* tracing: Add option to set an instance to be the trace_printk destinationSteven Rostedt2024-08-261-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a option "trace_printk_dest" that will make the tracing instance the location that trace_printk() will go to. This is useful if the trace_printk or one of the top level tracers is too noisy and there's a need to separate the two. Then an instance can be created, the trace_printk can be set to go there instead, where it will not be lost in the noise of the top level tracer. Note, only one instance can be the destination of trace_printk at a time. If an instance sets this flag, the instance that had it set will have it cleared. There is always one instance that has this set. By default, that is the top instance. This flag cannot be cleared from the top instance. Doing so will result in an -EINVAL. The only way this flag can be cleared from the top instance is by another instance setting it.

If another user tried to attach to the function graph tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing function graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for since 2009, but it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so it never happened. Until now! There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function graph tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes uses a shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a shadow stack for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it possible to trace the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs that feature too, allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed. BPF also wants to trace the return of many probes and its method doesn't scale either. Having it use function graph tracer would improve that. By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This will allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version will no longer be needed. Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16 simultaneous users, due to shadow stack size and allocated slots" * tag 'ftrace-v6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (49 commits) fgraph: Use str_plural() in test_graph_storage_single() function_graph: Add READ_ONCE() when accessing fgraph_array[] ftrace: Add missing kerneldoc parameters to unregister_ftrace_direct() function_graph: Everyone uses HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, remove it function_graph: Fix up ftrace_graph_ret_addr() function_graph: Make fgraph_update_pid_func() a stub for !DYNAMIC_FTRACE function_graph: Rename BYTE_NUMBER to CHAR_NUMBER in selftests fgraph: Remove some unused functions ftrace: Hide one more entry in stack trace when ftrace_pid is enabled function_graph: Do not update pid func if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE not enabled function_graph: Make fgraph_do_direct static key static ftrace: Fix prototypes for ftrace_startup/shutdown_subops() ftrace: Assign RCU list variable with rcu_assign_ptr() ftrace: Assign ftrace_list_end to ftrace_ops_list type cast to RCU ftrace: Declare function_trace_op in header to quiet sparse warning ftrace: Add comments to ftrace_hash_move() and friends ftrace: Convert "inc" parameter to bool in ftrace_hash_rec_update_modify() ftrace: Add comments to ftrace_hash_rec_disable/enable() ftrace: Remove "filter_hash" parameter from __ftrace_hash_rec_update() ftrace: Rename dup_hash() and comment it ...

The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with the splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers and the reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer that's part of the write buffer. It then has total access to the swapped out sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory into other mediums (file system, network, etc). The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space task itself. A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader sub-buffer (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change which sub-buffer is the new reader sub-buffer. The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer that the writer will not write over. A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as an example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external to the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be enabled by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used for testing applications that perform better with the buffer being mapped. Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can not be used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped, snapshots will be disabled. If any logic is set to trigger snapshots on a buffer, that buffer will not be allowed to be mapped" * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Add cast to unsigned long addr passed to virt_to_page() ring-buffer: Have mmapped ring buffer keep track of missed events ring-buffer/selftest: Add ring-buffer mapping test Documentation: tracing: Add ring-buffer mapping tracing: Allow user-space mapping of the ring-buffer ring-buffer: Introducing ring-buffer mapping functions ring-buffer: Allocate sub-buffers with __GFP_COMP

This sub-system may not care about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and only those events are exposed to this instance. - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than just the architecture page size. A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in 10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is the next available size that can hold 10K pages. - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information to this dump that helps with debugging. - Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is enabled) - Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes. - Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold). - Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can hold. - Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has been removed. - More selftests were added. - Some code clean ups as well. * tag 'trace-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (29 commits) ring-buffer: Remove stale comment from ring_buffer_size() tracing histograms: Simplify parse_actions() function tracing/selftests: Remove exec permissions from trace_marker.tc test ring-buffer: Use subbuf_order for buffer page masking tracing: Update subbuffer with kilobytes not page order ringbuffer/selftest: Add basic selftest to test changing subbuf order ring-buffer: Add documentation on the buffer_subbuf_order file ring-buffer: Just update the subbuffers when changing their allocation order ring-buffer: Keep the same size when updating the order tracing: Stop the tracing while changing the ring buffer subbuf size tracing: Update snapshot order along with main buffer order ring-buffer: Make sure the spare sub buffer used for reads has same size ring-buffer: Do no swap cpu buffers if order is different ring-buffer: Clear pages on error in ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() failure ring-buffer: Read and write to ring buffers with custom sub buffer size ring-buffer: Set new size of the ring buffer sub page ring-buffer: Add interface for configuring trace sub buffer size ring-buffer: Page size per ring buffer ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_print_page_header() be able to access ring_buffer_iter ring-buffer: Check if absolute timestamp goes backwards ...

In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by a eventfs_file. In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback. When an event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create this file. This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs instances down by 2 megs each! - User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even if no process is attached to them - Clean up of seq_buf There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf to be able to do this - Expand instance ring buffers individually Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance - Other minor clean ups and fixes * tag 'trace-v6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (34 commits) seq_buf: Export seq_buf_puts() seq_buf: Export seq_buf_putc() eventfs: Use simple_recursive_removal() to clean up dentries eventfs: Remove special processing of dput() of events directory eventfs: Delete eventfs_inode when the last dentry is freed eventfs: Hold eventfs_mutex when calling callback functions eventfs: Save ownership and mode eventfs: Test for ei->is_freed when accessing ei->dentry eventfs: Have a free_ei() that just frees the eventfs_inode eventfs: Remove "is_freed" union with rcu head eventfs: Fix kerneldoc of eventfs_remove_rec() tracing: Have the user copy of synthetic event address use correct context eventfs: Remove extra dget() in eventfs_create_events_dir() tracing: Have trace_event_file have ref counters seq_buf: Introduce DECLARE_SEQ_BUF and seq_buf_str() eventfs: Fix typo in eventfs_inode union comment eventfs: Fix WARN_ON() in create_file_dentry() powerpc: Remove initialisation of readpos tracing/histograms: Simplify last_cmd_set() seq_buf: fix a misleading comment ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Users need to know how to make events persist now that we allow for that. We also now allow the dynamic_events file to create events by utilizing the persist flag during event register. Add back in to documentation how /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events can be used to create persistent user_events. Add a section under registering for the currently supported flags (USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST) and the required permissions. Add a note under deleting that deleting a persistent event also requires sufficient permission.

The last remaining place is mm_vmscan_lru_isolate tracepoint for the isolate_mode parameter. That one was mainly used to indicate the active/inactive mode, which the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl script consumed, but that got silently broken. After fixing the script by the previous patch, it does not need the isolate_mode anymore. So just remove the parameter and with that the whole ISOLATE_UNMAPPED flag.

Most changes are mechanical (renames, removal of tracepoint parameters that are not used by the script). More notable change involves mm_vmscan_lru_isolate which is relying on the isolate_mode to determine if the inactive list is being scanned. However the parameter currently only indicates ISOLATE_UNMAPPED. We can use the lru parameter instead to determine which list is scanned, and stop checking isolate_mode.
