tracing: Have mkdir and rmdir be part of tracefs The tracing "instances" directory can create sub tracing buffers with mkdir, and remove them with rmdir. As a mkdir will also create all the files and directories that control the sub buffer the inode mutexes need to be released before this is done, to avoid deadlocks. It is better to let the tracing system unlock the inode mutexes before calling the functions that create the files within the new directory (or deletes the files from the one being destroyed). Now that tracing has been converted over to tracefs, the tracefs file system can be modified to accommodate this feature. It still releases the locks, but the filesystem itself can take care of the ugly business and let the user just do what it needs. The tracing system now attaches a descriptor to the directory dentry that can have userspace create or remove sub directories. If this descriptor does not exist for a dentry, then that dentry can not be used to create other directories. This descriptor holds a mkdir and rmdir method that only takes a character string as an argument. The tracefs file system will first make a copy of the dentry name before releasing the locks. Then it will pass the copied name to the methods. It is up to the tracing system that supplied the methods to handle races with duplicate names and such as all the inode mutexes would be released when the functions are called.

tracefs: Set all files to the same group ownership as the mount option As people have been asking to allow non-root processes to have access to the tracefs directory, it was considered best to only allow groups to have access to the directory, where it is easier to just set the tracefs file system to a specific group (as other would be too dangerous), and that way the admins could pick which processes would have access to tracefs. Unfortunately, this broke tooling on Android that expected the other bit to be set. For some special cases, for non-root tools to trace the system, tracefs would be mounted and change the permissions of the top level directory which gave access to all running tasks permission to the tracing directory. Even though this would be dangerous to do in a production environment, for testing environments this can be useful. Now with the new changes to not allow other (which is still the proper thing to do), it breaks the testing tooling. Now more code needs to be loaded on the system to change ownership of the tracing directory. The real solution is to have tracefs honor the gid=xxx option when mounting. That is, (tracing group tracing has value 1003) mount -t tracefs -o gid=1003 tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing should have it that all files in the tracing directory should be of the given group. Copy the logic from d_walk() from dcache.c and simplify it for the mount case of tracefs if gid is set. All the files in tracefs will be walked and their group will be set to the value passed in.

eventfs: Move tracing/events to eventfs Up until now, /sys/kernel/tracing/events was no different than any other part of tracefs. The files and directories within the events directory was created when the tracefs was mounted, and also created for the instances in /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/<instance>/events. Most of these files and directories will never be referenced. Since there are thousands of these files and directories they spend their time wasting precious memory resources. Move the "events" directory to the new eventfs. The eventfs will take the meta data of the events that they represent and store that. When the files in the events directory are referenced, the dentry and inodes to represent them are then created. When the files are no longer referenced, they are freed. This saves the precious memory resources that were wasted on these seldom referenced dentries and inodes. Running the following: ~# cat /proc/meminfo /proc/slabinfo > before.out ~# mkdir /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/foo ~# cat /proc/meminfo /proc/slabinfo > after.out to test the changes produces the following deltas: Before this change: Before after deltas for meminfo: MemFree: -32260 MemAvailable: -21496 KReclaimable: 21528 Slab: 22440 SReclaimable: 21528 SUnreclaim: 912 VmallocUsed: 16 Before after deltas for slabinfo: <slab>: <objects> [ * <size> = <total>] tracefs_inode_cache: 14472 [* 1184 = 17134848] buffer_head: 24 [* 168 = 4032] hmem_inode_cache: 28 [* 1480 = 41440] dentry: 14450 [* 312 = 4508400] lsm_inode_cache: 14453 [* 32 = 462496] vma_lock: 11 [* 152 = 1672] vm_area_struct: 2 [* 184 = 368] trace_event_file: 1748 [* 88 = 153824] kmalloc-256: 1072 [* 256 = 274432] kmalloc-64: 2842 [* 64 = 181888] Total slab additions in size: 22,763,400 bytes With this change: Before after deltas for meminfo: MemFree: -12600 MemAvailable: -12580 Cached: 24 Active: 12 Inactive: 68 Inactive(anon): 48 Active(file): 12 Inactive(file): 20 Dirty: -4 AnonPages: 68 KReclaimable: 12 Slab: 1856 SReclaimable: 12 SUnreclaim: 1844 KernelStack: 16 PageTables: 36 VmallocUsed: 16 Before after deltas for slabinfo: <slab>: <objects> [ * <size> = <total>] tracefs_inode_cache: 108 [* 1184 = 127872] buffer_head: 24 [* 168 = 4032] hmem_inode_cache: 18 [* 1480 = 26640] dentry: 127 [* 312 = 39624] lsm_inode_cache: 152 [* 32 = 4864] vma_lock: 67 [* 152 = 10184] vm_area_struct: -12 [* 184 = -2208] trace_event_file: 1764 [* 96 = 169344] kmalloc-96: 14322 [* 96 = 1374912] kmalloc-64: 2814 [* 64 = 180096] kmalloc-32: 1103 [* 32 = 35296] kmalloc-16: 2308 [* 16 = 36928] kmalloc-8: 12800 [* 8 = 102400] Total slab additions in size: 2,109,984 bytes Which is a savings of 20,653,416 bytes (20 MB) per tracing instance.

eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode Instead of having a descriptor for every file represented in the eventfs directory, only have the directory itself represented. Change the API to send in a list of entries that represent all the files in the directory (but not other directories). The entry list contains a name and a callback function that will be used to create the files when they are accessed. struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_events_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent, const struct eventfs_entry *entries, int size, void *data); is used for the top level eventfs directory, and returns an eventfs_inode that will be used by: struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct eventfs_inode *parent, const struct eventfs_entry *entries, int size, void *data); where both of the above take an array of struct eventfs_entry entries for every file that is in the directory. The entries are defined by: typedef int (*eventfs_callback)(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data, const struct file_operations **fops); struct eventfs_entry { const char *name; eventfs_callback callback; }; Where the name is the name of the file and the callback gets called when the file is being created. The callback passes in the name (in case the same callback is used for multiple files), a pointer to the mode, data and fops. The data will be pointing to the data that was passed in eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() but may be overridden to point to something else, as it will be used to point to the inode->i_private that is created. The information passed back from the callback is used to create the dentry/inode. If the callback fills the data and the file should be created, it must return a positive number. On zero or negative, the file is ignored. This logic may also be used as a prototype to convert entire pseudo file systems into just-in-time allocation. The "show_events_dentry" file has been updated to show the directories, and any files they have.

eventfs: Move tracing/events to eventfs Up until now, /sys/kernel/tracing/events was no different than any other part of tracefs. The files and directories within the events directory was created when the tracefs was mounted, and also created for the instances in /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/<instance>/events. Most of these files and directories will never be referenced. Since there are thousands of these files and directories they spend their time wasting precious memory resources. Move the "events" directory to the new eventfs. The eventfs will take the meta data of the events that they represent and store that. When the files in the events directory are referenced, the dentry and inodes to represent them are then created. When the files are no longer referenced, they are freed. This saves the precious memory resources that were wasted on these seldom referenced dentries and inodes.

It appears that the allocation of the proxy_ops and then freeing it in the destroy_inode callback, is causing havoc with the memory system. Reading the documentation about destroy_inode and talking with Linus about this, this is buggy and wrong. When defining the destroy_inode() method, it is expected that the destroy_inode() will also free the inode, and not just the extra allocations done in the creation of the inode. The faulty commit causes a memory leak of the inode data structure when they are deleted. Instead of allocating the proxy_ops (and then having to free it) the checks should be done by the open functions themselves, and not hack into the tracefs directory. First revert the tracefs updates for locked_down and then later we can add the locked_down checks in the kernel/trace files.

tracing: Have mkdir and rmdir be part of tracefs The tracing "instances" directory can create sub tracing buffers with mkdir, and remove them with rmdir. As a mkdir will also create all the files and directories that control the sub buffer the inode mutexes need to be released before this is done, to avoid deadlocks. It is better to let the tracing system unlock the inode mutexes before calling the functions that create the files within the new directory (or deletes the files from the one being destroyed). Now that tracing has been converted over to tracefs, the tracefs file system can be modified to accommodate this feature. It still releases the locks, but the filesystem itself can take care of the ugly business and let the user just do what it needs. The tracing system now attaches a descriptor to the directory dentry that can have userspace create or remove sub directories. If this descriptor does not exist for a dentry, then that dentry can not be used to create other directories. This descriptor holds a mkdir and rmdir method that only takes a character string as an argument. The tracefs file system will first make a copy of the dentry name before releasing the locks. Then it will pass the copied name to the methods. It is up to the tracing system that supplied the methods to handle races with duplicate names and such as all the inode mutexes would be released when the functions are called.
