- The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.
The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and reading
as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace file
would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to just
disable writes to the ring buffer. This came to a surprise to the
BPF folks who complained about lost events due to reading.
This is no longer an issue. If someone wants to keep the old disabling
there's a new option "pause-on-trace" that can be set.
- New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be traced
by the function tracer. Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the
function tracer only trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the
set_ftrace_notrace_pid does the reverse.
- New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events
not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID.
Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced.
Note, sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be trace if
one of the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that
is allowed to be traced.

If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file

There's currently a way to select a task that should only have its events

Add a set_event_notrace_pid file that acts the same as set_event_pid (and is
also affected by event-fork), but the task pids in this file will not be
traced even if they are listed in the set_event_pid file. This makes it easy
for tools like trace-cmd to "hide" itself from beint traced by events when
it is recording other tasks.

The set_ftrace_pid file is used to filter function tracing to only trace
tasks that are listed in that file. Instead of testing the pids listed in
that file (it's a bitmask) at each function trace event, the logic is done
via a sched_switch hook. A flag is set when the next task to run is in the
list of pids in the set_ftrace_pid file. But the sched_switch hook is not at
the exact location of when the task switches, and the flag gets set before
the task to be traced actually runs. This leaves a residue of traced
functions that do not belong to the pid that should be filtered on.
By changing the logic slightly, where instead of having a boolean flag to
test, record the pid that should be traced, with special values for not to
trace and always trace. Then at each function call, a check will be made to
see if the function should be ignored, or if the current pid matches the
function that should be traced, and only trace if it matches (or if it has
the special value to always trace).

It appears that ip ranges can overlap so. In that case lookup_rec()
returns whatever results it got last even if it found nothing in last

This breaks an obscure livepatch late module patching usecase:

- load the patched module
- unload livepatch
- try to load livepatch again

failure issues. This should stop failing fuzz tests due to warnings.

- PERAMAENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a function
As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable all
attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on live
kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a ftrace_ops
is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it will prevent
ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if ftrace_enabled is already
disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops with PREMANENT flag set from
being registered.
- New register_ftrace_direct(). As eBPF would like to register its own
trampolines to be called by the ftrace nop locations directly,
without going through the ftrace trampoline, this function has been
added. This allows for eBPF trampolines to live along side of
ftrace, perf, kprobe and live patching. It also utilizes the ftrace
enabled_functions file that keeps track of functions that have been
modified in the kernel, to allow for security auditing.
- Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances. Subsystems in
the kernel can now create and destroy their own tracing instances
which allows them to have their own tracing buffer, and be able
to record events without worrying about other users from writing over
their data.
- New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
seq_buf usage.
- Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency tracers.
- Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch and
friends.
- More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)
- Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
system call trace events.

If a direct ftrace callback is at a location that does not have any other
ftrace helpers attached to it, it is possible to simply just change the
text to call the new caller (if the architecture supports it). But this
requires special architecture code. Currently, modify_ftrace_direct() uses a
trick to add a stub ftrace callback to the location forcing it to call the
ftrace iterator. Then it can change the direct helper to call the new
function in C, and then remove the stub. Removing the stub will have the
location now call the new location that the direct helper is using.
The new helper function does the registering the stub trick, but is a weak
function, allowing an architecture to override it to do something a bit more
direct.

Add the start of the functionality to allow other trampolines to use the
ftrace mcount/fentry/nop location. This adds two new functions:
register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct()
Both take two parameters: the first is the instruction address of where the
mcount/fentry/nop exists, and the second is the trampoline to have that
location called.
This will handle cases where ftrace is already used on that same location,
and will make it still work, where the registered direct called trampoline
will get called after all the registered ftrace callers are handled.
Currently, it will not allow for IP_MODIFY functions to be called at the
same locations, which include some kprobes and live kernel patching.
At this point, no architecture supports this. This is only the start of
implementing the framework.

Architectures may need to perform special initialization of ftrace
callsites, and today they do so by special-casing ftrace_make_nop() when
the expected branch address is MCOUNT_ADDR. In some cases (e.g. for
patchable-function-entry), we don't have an mcount-like symbol and don't
want a synthetic MCOUNT_ADDR, but we may need to perform some
initialization of callsites.
To make it possible to separate initialization from runtime
modification, and to handle cases without an mcount-like symbol, this
patch adds an optional ftrace_init_nop() function that architectures can
implement, which does not pass a branch address.
Where an architecture does not provide ftrace_init_nop(), we will fall
back to the existing behaviour of calling ftrace_make_nop() with
MCOUNT_ADDR.
At the same time, ftrace_code_disable() is renamed to
ftrace_nop_initialize() to make it clearer that it is intended to
intialize a callsite into a disabled state, and is not for disabling a
callsite that has been runtime enabled. The kerneldoc description of rec
arguments is updated to cover non-mcount callsites.

Livepatch uses ftrace for redirection to new patched functions. It means
that if ftrace is disabled, all live patched functions are disabled as
well. Toggling global 'ftrace_enabled' sysctl thus affect it directly.
It is not a problem per se, because only administrator can set sysctl
values, but it still may be surprising.
Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flag to amend this. If the
FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT is set on any ftrace ops, the tracing cannot be
disabled by disabling ftrace_enabled. Equally, a callback with the flag

Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown
mode, and if so, to return -EPERM.
Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines)
as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being
traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter
intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been
modified.

Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is
set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when
tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring
buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from
crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on
boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is
disabled until reboot.
As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs
directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array
associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is
freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array,
then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there
could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is
found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and
the trace_array associated with it freed).
Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a
single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to
tracefs later.

The ftrace set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace files are specific for
an instance now. They need to take a reference to the instance otherwise
there could be a race between accessing the files and deleting the instance.
It wasn't until the :mod: caching where these file operations started
referencing the trace_array directly.

The test (ftrace_set_ftrace_filter.sh) is part of ftrace stress tests
and the crash happens when the test does 'cat
$TRACING_PATH/set_ftrace_filter'.
The address points to the second line below, in t_probe_next(), where
filter_hash is dereferenced:
hash = iter->probe->ops.func_hash->filter_hash;
size = 1 << hash->size_bits;
This happens due to a race with register_ftrace_function_probe(). A new
ftrace_func_probe is created and added into the func_probes list in
trace_array under ftrace_lock. However, before initializing the filter,
we drop ftrace_lock, and re-acquire it after acquiring regex_lock. If
another process is trying to read set_ftrace_filter, it will be able to
acquire ftrace_lock during this window and it will end up seeing a NULL
filter_hash.
Fix this by just checking for a NULL filter_hash in t_probe_next(). If
the filter_hash is NULL, then this probe is just being added and we can
simply return from here.

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

---- ----
lock(text_mutex);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
lock(text_mutex);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
It is similar problem that has been solved by the commit 2d1e38f566
("kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues"). Many locks are involved.
To be on the safe side, text_mutex must become a low level lock taken
after cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem.
This can't be achieved easily with the current ftrace design.
For example, arm calls set_all_modules_text_rw() already in
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare(), see arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c.
This functions is called:
+ outside stop_machine() from ftrace_run_update_code()
+ without stop_machine() from ftrace_module_enable()
Fortunately, the problematic fix is needed only on x86_64. It is
the only architecture that calls set_all_modules_text_rw()
in ftrace path and supports livepatching at the same time.
Therefore it is enough to move text_mutex handling from the generic
kernel/trace/ftrace.c into arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
This patch basically reverts the ftrace part of the problematic
commit 9f255b632b ("module: Fix livepatch/ftrace module
text permissions race"). And provides x86_64 specific-fix.
Some refactoring of the ftrace code will be needed when livepatching
is implemented for arm or nds32. These architectures call
set_all_modules_text_rw() and use stop_machine() at the same time.

Custom trampolines can only be enabled if there is only a single ops
attached to it. If there's only a single callback registered to a function,
and the ops has a trampoline registered for it, then we can call the
trampoline directly. This is very useful for improving the performance of
ftrace and livepatch.
If more than one callback is registered to a function, the general
trampoline is used, and the custom trampoline is not restored back to the
direct call even if all the other callbacks were unregistered and we are
back to one callback for the function.
To fix this, set FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag if rec count is decremented
to one, and the ops that left has a trampoline.

3f04: 48 b8 5f 5f 74 68 69 73 5f 6d movabs $0x6d5f736968745f5f,%rax # __this_m
3f0e: 4c 8d 44 24 02 lea 0x2(%rsp),%r8
3f13: 48 8d 7c 24 10 lea 0x10(%rsp),%rdi
3f18: 48 89 44 24 02 mov %rax,0x2(%rsp)
3f1d: 4c 89 e9 mov %r13,%rcx
3f20: b8 65 00 00 00 mov $0x65,%eax # e
3f25: 48 c7 c2 00 00 00 00 mov $0x0,%rdx
3f28: R_X86_64_32S .rodata.str1.1+0x18d
3f2c: be 48 00 00 00 mov $0x48,%esi
3f31: c7 44 24 0a 6f 64 75 6c movl $0x6c75646f,0xa(%rsp) # odul
3f39: 66 89 44 24 0e mov %ax,0xe(%rsp)
i.e., the string gets built on the stack at runtime. Similar code can be
found for the other instances I'm replacing here. Putting the string
in .rodata reduces the combined .text+.rodata size and saves time and
stack space at runtime.
The simplest fix, and what I've done for the this_mod case, is to just
make the variable static.
However, for the "<faulted>" case where the same string is used twice,
that prevents the linker from merging those two literals, so instead use
a macro - that also keeps the two instances automatically in
sync (instead of only the compile-time strlen expression).
Finally, for the two runs of spaces, it turns out that the "build
these strings on the stack" is not the worst part of what gcc does -
it turns print_func_help_header_irq() into "if (tgid) { /*
print_event_info + five seq_printf calls */ } else { /* print
event_info + another five seq_printf */}". Taking inspiration from a
suggestion from Al Viro, use %.*s to make snprintf either stop after
the first two spaces or print the whole string. As a bonus, the
seq_printfs now fit on single lines (at least, they are not longer
than the existing ones in the function just above), making it easier
to see that the ascii art lines up.
