2021-02-09tracepoints: Code clean upSteven Rostedt (VMware)
Restructure the code a bit to make it simpler, fix some formatting problems and add READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to make sure there's no compiler load/store tearing to the variables that can be accessed across CPUs. Started with Mathieu Desnoyers's patch: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210203175741.20665-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com/ And will keep his signature, but I will take the responsibility of this being correct, and keep the authorship.

2021-02-02tracepoint: Do not fail unregistering a probe due to memory failureSteven Rostedt (VMware)
The list of tracepoint callbacks is managed by an array that is protected by RCU. To update this array, a new array is allocated, the updates are copied over to the new array, and then the list of functions for the tracepoint is switched over to the new array. After a completion of an RCU grace period, the old array is freed. This process happens for both adding a callback as well as removing one. But on removing a callback, if the new array fails to be allocated, the callback is not removed, and may be used after it is freed by the clients of the tracepoint. There's really no reason to fail if the allocation for a new array fails when removing a function. Instead, the function can simply be replaced by a stub function that could be cleaned up on the next modification of the array. That is, instead of calling the function registered to the tracepoint, it would call a stub function in its place.

2020-11-16tracepoints: Migrate to use SYSCALL_WORK flagGabriel Krisman Bertazi
On architectures using the generic syscall entry code the architecture independent syscall work is moved to flags in thread_info::syscall_work. This removes architecture dependencies and frees up TIF bits. Define SYSCALL_WORK_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT, use it in the generic entry code and convert the code which uses the TIF specific helper functions to use the new *_syscall_work() helpers which either resolve to the new mode for users of the generic entry code or to the TIF based functions for the other architectures.

2020-10-29tracepoint: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array memberGustavo A. R. Silva
There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should no longer be used[2].

2020-10-02tracepoint: Fix out of sync data passing by static callerSteven Rostedt (VMware)
Naresh reported a bug that appears to be a side effect of the static calls. It happens when going from more than one tracepoint callback to a single one, and removing the first callback on the list. The list of tracepoint callbacks holds data and a function to call with the parameters of that tracepoint and a handler to the associated data. old_list: 0: func = foo; data = NULL; 1: func = bar; data = &bar_struct; new_list: 0: func = bar; data = &bar_struct; CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- tp_funcs = old_list; tp_static_caller = tp_interator __DO_TRACE() data = tp_funcs[0].data = NULL; tp_funcs = new_list; tracepoint_update_call() tp_static_caller = tp_funcs[0] = bar; tp_static_caller(data) bar(data) x = data->item = NULL->item BOOM! To solve this, add a tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() between changing tp_funcs and updating the static tracepoint, that does both a synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_srcu(). This will ensure that when the static call is updated to the single callback that it will be receiving the data that it registered with.

2020-09-01tracepoint: Optimize using static_call()Steven Rostedt (VMware)
Currently the tracepoint site will iterate a vector and issue indirect calls to however many handlers are registered (ie. the vector is long). Using static_call() it is possible to optimize this for the common case of only having a single handler registered. In this case the static_call() can directly call this handler. Otherwise, if the vector is longer than 1, call a function that iterates the whole vector like the current code.

While auditing all module notifiers I noticed a whole bunch of fail wrt the return value. Notifiers have a 'special' return semantics. As is; NOTIFY_DONE vs NOTIFY_OK is a bit vague; but notifier_from_errno(0) results in NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_DONE has a comment that says "Don't care". From this I've used NOTIFY_DONE when the function completely ignores the callback and notifier_to_error() isn't used.

2019-06-17tracepoint: Use struct_size() in kmalloc()Gustavo A. R. Silva
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct tp_probes { ... struct tracepoint_func probes[0]; }; instance = kmalloc(sizeof(sizeof(struct tp_probes) + sizeof(struct tracepoint_func) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, probes, count) GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

2018-10-17tracepoint: Fix tracepoint array element size mismatchMathieu Desnoyers
commit 46e0c9be206f ("kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative references") changes the layout of the __tracepoint_ptrs section on architectures supporting relative references. However, it does so without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect: Setting mod->num_tracepoints is done in by module.c: mod->tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs", sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs), &mod->num_tracepoints); Basically, since sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size (rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer division. So in the module going notifier: for_each_tracepoint_range(mod->tracepoints_ptrs, mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints, tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL); the expression (mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints) actually evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch. Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations, or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have this feature. Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation. This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed before the end of the rc cycle.

2018-07-30tracepoint: Make rcuidle tracepoint callers use SRCUJoel Fernandes (Google)
In recent tests with IRQ on/off tracepoints, a large performance overhead ~10% is noticed when running hackbench. This is root caused to calls to rcu_irq_enter_irqson and rcu_irq_exit_irqson from the tracepoint code. Following a long discussion on the list [1] about this, we concluded that srcu is a better alternative for use during rcu idle. Although it does involve extra barriers, its lighter than the sched-rcu version which has to do additional RCU calls to notify RCU idle about entry into RCU sections. In this patch, we change the underlying implementation of the trace_*_rcuidle API to use SRCU. This has shown to improve performance alot for the high frequency irq enable/disable tracepoints. Test: Tested idle and preempt/irq tracepoints. Here are some performance numbers: With a run of the following 30 times on a single core x86 Qemu instance with 1GB memory: hackbench -g 4 -f 2 -l 3000 Completion times in seconds.

Tracepoint should only warn when a kernel API user does not respect the required preconditions (e.g. same tracepoint enabled twice, or called to remove a tracepoint that does not exist). Silence warning in out-of-memory conditions, given that the error is returned to the caller. This ensures that out-of-memory error-injection testing does not trigger warnings in tracepoint.c, which were seen by syzbot.

2016-12-09tracing: Have the reg function allow to failSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Some tracepoints have a registration function that gets enabled when the tracepoint is enabled. There may be cases that the registraction function must fail (for example, can't allocate enough memory). In this case, the tracepoint should also fail to register, otherwise the user would not know why the tracepoint is not working.

2015-10-25tracepoint: Give priority to probes of tracepointsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
In order to guarantee that a probe will be called before other probes that are attached to a tracepoint, there needs to be a mechanism to provide priority of one probe over the others. Adding a prio field to the struct tracepoint_func, which lets the probes be sorted by the priority set in the structure. If no priority is specified, then a priority of 10 is given (this is a macro, and perhaps may be changed in the future). Now probes may be added to affect other probes that are attached to a tracepoint with a guaranteed order. One use case would be to allow tracing of tracepoints be able to filter by pid. A special (higher priority probe) may be added to the sched_switch tracepoint and set the necessary flags of the other tracepoints to notify them if they should be traced or not. In case a tracepoint is enabled at the sched_switch tracepoint too, the order of the two are not random.

2014-06-21tracing: syscall_regfunc() should not skip kernel threadsOleg Nesterov
syscall_regfunc() ignores the kernel threads because "it has no effect", see cc3b13c1 "Don't trace kernel thread syscalls" which added this check. However, this means that a user-space task spawned by call_usermodehelper() will run without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT if sys_tracepoint_refcount != 0. Remove this check. The unnecessary report from ret_from_fork path mentioned by cc3b13c1 is no longer possible, see See commit fb45550d76bb5 "make sure that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves". A kernel_thread() callback can only return and take the int_ret_from_sys_call path after do_execve() succeeds, otherwise the kernel will crash. But in this case it is no longer a kernel thread and thus is needs TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT.

The design was for an out of tree module but broke in tree users. The clean up was to remove the saving of the hash table of tracepoint names such that they can be enabled before they exist (enabling a module tracepoint before that module is loaded). This added more complexity than needed. The clean up was to remove that code and just enable tracepoints that exist or fail if they do not. This removed a lot of code as well as the complexity that it brought. As a side effect, instead of registering a tracepoint by its name, the tracepoint needs to be registered with the tracepoint descriptor. This removes having to duplicate the tracepoint names that are enabled. The second patch was added that simplified the way modules were searched for. This cleanup required changes that were in the 3.15 queue as well as some changes that were added late in the 3.14-rc cycle. This final change waited till the two were merged in upstream and then the change was added and full tests were run. Unfortunately, the test found some errors, but after it was already submitted to the for-next branch and not to be rebased. Sparse errors were detected by Fengguang Wu's bot tests, and my internal tests discovered that the anonymous union initialization triggered a bug in older gcc compilers. Luckily, there was a bugzilla for the gcc bug which gave a work around to the problem. The third and fourth patch handled the sparse error and the gcc bug respectively.

2014-03-13Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULEMathieu Desnoyers
Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded within a kernel supporting module signature. This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules (TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y. Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules. With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag. Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint within this module. Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed by Steven Rostedt). Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list for the sake of completeness.

2014-03-07tracing: Warn if a tracepoint is not set via debugfsSteven Rostedt
Tracepoints were made to allow enabling a tracepoint in a module before that module was loaded. When a tracepoint is enabled and it does not exist, the name is stored and will be enabled when the tracepoint is created. The problem with this approach is that when a tracepoint is enabled when it expects to be there, it gives no warning that it does not exist. To add salt to the wound, if a module is added and sets the FORCED flag, which can happen if it isn't signed properly, the tracepoint code will not enabled the tracepoints, but they will be created in the debugfs system! When a user goes to enable the tracepoint, the tracepoint code will not see it existing and will think it is to be enabled later AND WILL NOT GIVE A WARNING. The tracing will look like it succeeded but will actually be doing nothing. This will cause lots of confusion and headaches for developers trying to figure out why they are not seeing their tracepoints.

I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event. Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers (ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only be written to the main buffer. 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended. The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable an event to be traced when a function is hit. 3) A perf clock has been added. A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis." * tag 'trace-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (82 commits) tracepoints: Prevent null probe from being added tracing: Compare to 1 instead of zero for is_signed_type() tracing: Remove obsolete macro guard _TRACE_PROFILE_INIT ftrace: Get rid of ftrace_profile_bits tracing: Check return value of tracing_init_dentry() tracing: Get rid of unneeded key calculation in ftrace_hash_move() tracing: Reset ftrace_graph_filter_enabled if count is zero tracing: Fix off-by-one on allocating stat->pages kernel: tracing: Use strlcpy instead of strncpy tracing: Update debugfs README file tracing: Fix ftrace_dump() tracing: Rename trace_event_mutex to trace_event_sem tracing: Fix comment about prefix in arch_syscall_match_sym_name() tracing: Convert trace_destroy_fields() to static tracing: Move find_event_field() into trace_events.c tracing: Use TRACE_MAX_PRINT instead of constant tracing: Use pr_warn_once instead of open coded implementation ring-buffer: Add ring buffer startup selftest tracing: Bring Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt up to date tracing: Add "perf" trace_clock ...

2013-04-19tracepoints: Prevent null probe from being addedSahara
Somehow tracepoint_entry_add_probe() function allows a null probe function. And, this may lead to unexpected results since the number of probe functions in an entry can be counted by checking whether a probe is null or not in the for-loop. This patch prevents a null probe from being added. In tracepoint_entry_remove_probe() function, checking probe parameter within the for-loop is moved out for code efficiency, leaving the null probe feature which removes all probe functions in the entry.

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2012-02-24static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and ↵Ingo Molnar
static_key_slow_[inc|dec]() So here's a boot tested patch on top of Jason's series that does all the cleanups I talked about and turns jump labels into a more intuitive to use facility. It should also address the various misconceptions and confusions that surround jump labels. Typical usage scenarios: #include <linux/static_key.h> struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_TRUE; if (static_key_false(&key)) do unlikely code else do likely code Or: if (static_key_true(&key)) do likely code else do unlikely code The static key is modified via: static_key_slow_inc(&key); ... static_key_slow_dec(&key); The 'slow' prefix makes it abundantly clear that this is an expensive operation. I've updated all in-kernel code to use this everywhere. Note that I (intentionally) have not pushed through the rename blindly through to the lowest levels: the actual jump-label patching arch facility should be named like that, so we want to decouple jump labels from the static-key facility a bit. On non-jump-label enabled architectures static keys default to likely()/unlikely() branches.

2012-01-16tracepoints/module: Fix disabling tracepoints with taint CRAP or OOTSteven Rostedt
Tracepoints are disabled for tainted modules, which is usually because the module is either proprietary or was forced, and we don't want either of them using kernel tracepoints. But, a module can also be tainted by being in the staging directory or compiled out of tree. Either is fine for use with tracepoints, no need to punish them. I found this out when I noticed that my sample trace event module, when done out of tree, stopped working.

2011-08-10Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutexMathieu Desnoyers
Copy the information needed from struct module into a local module list held within tracepoint.c from within the module coming/going notifier. This vastly simplifies locking of tracepoint registration / unregistration, because we don't have to take the module mutex to register and unregister tracepoints anymore. Steven Rostedt ran into dependency problems related to modules mutex vs kprobes mutex vs ftrace mutex vs tracepoint mutex that seems to be hard to fix without removing this dependency between tracepoint and module mutex. (note: it should be investigated whether kprobes could benefit of being dissociated from the modules mutex too.) This also fixes module handling of tracepoint list iterators, because it was expecting the list to be sorted by pointer address. Given we have control on our own list now, it's OK to sort this list which has tracepoints as its only purpose. The reason why this sorting is required is to handle the fact that seq files (and any read() operation from user-space) cannot hold the tracepoint mutex across multiple calls, so list entries may vanish between calls. With sorting, the tracepoint iterator becomes usable even if the list don't contain the exact item pointed to by the iterator anymore.

2011-04-04jump label: Introduce static_branch() interfaceJason Baron
Introduce: static __always_inline bool static_branch(struct jump_label_key *key); instead of the old JUMP_LABEL(key, label) macro. In this way, jump labels become really easy to use: Define: struct jump_label_key jump_key; Can be used as: if (static_branch(&jump_key)) do unlikely code enable/disale via: jump_label_inc(&jump_key); jump_label_dec(&jump_key); that's it! For the jump labels disabled case, the static_branch() becomes an atomic_read(), and jump_label_inc()/dec() are simply atomic_inc(), atomic_dec() operations. We show testing results for this change below. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for suggesting the 'static_branch()' construct. Since we now require a 'struct jump_label_key *key', we can store a pointer into the jump table addresses. In this way, we can enable/disable jump labels, in basically constant time. This change allows us to completely remove the previous hashtable scheme. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for this re-write. Testing: I ran a series of 'tbench 20' runs 5 times (with reboots) for 3 configurations, where tracepoints were disabled. jump label configured in avg: 815.6 jump label *not* configured in (using atomic reads) avg: 800.1 jump label *not* configured in (regular reads) avg: 803.4 Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <20110316212947.GA8792@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Suggested-by: H.

2011-02-03tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer arrayMathieu Desnoyers
Make the tracepoints more robust, making them solid enough to handle compiler changes by not relying on anything based on compiler-specific behavior with respect to structure alignment. Implement an approach proposed by David Miller: use an array of const pointers to refer to the individual structures, and export this pointer array through the linker script rather than the structures per se. It will consume 32 extra bytes per tracepoint (24 for structure padding and 8 for the pointers), but are less likely to break due to compiler changes. History: commit 7e066fb8 tracepoints: add DECLARE_TRACE() and DEFINE_TRACE() added the aligned(32) type and variable attribute to the tracepoint structures to deal with gcc happily aligning statically defined structures on 32-byte multiples. One attempt was to use a 8-byte alignment for tracepoint structures by applying both the variable and type attribute to tracepoint structures definitions and declarations. It worked fine with gcc 4.5.1, but broke with gcc 4.4.4 and 4.4.5. The reason is that the "aligned" attribute only specify the _minimum_ alignment for a structure, leaving both the compiler and the linker free to align on larger multiples. Because tracepoint.c expects the structures to be placed as an array within each section, up-alignment cause NULL-pointer exceptions due to the extra unexpected padding.
