243d1a7977 tracepoint: Remove smp_read_barrier_depends() from comment
The comment in tracepoint_add_func() mentions smp_read_barrier_depends(),
whose use should be quite restricted.  This commit updates the comment
to instead mention the smp_store_release() and rcu_dereference_sched()
that the current code actually uses.

will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/task.h> file that just

bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

8cf868affd tracing: Have the reg function allow to fail
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.

7904b5c498 tracepoint: Give priority to probes of tracepoints
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.

ea73c79e33 tracing: syscall_regfunc() should not skip kernel threads
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 fb45550d76 "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.

8063e41d2f tracing: Change syscall_*regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD and use for_each_process_thread()
1. Remove _irqsafe from syscall_regfunc/syscall_unregfunc,
   read_lock(tasklist) doesn't need to disable irqs.

2. Change this code to avoid the deprecated do_each_thread()
   and use for_each_process_thread() (stolen from the patch
   from Frederic).

3. Change syscall_regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD to skip
   the kernel threads, ->mm != NULL is the common mistake.

   Note: probably this check should be simply removed, needs
   another patch.

8058bd0faa tracepoint: Fix use of tracepoint funcs after rcu free
Commit de7b297390 "tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash
for reg/unreg tracepoints" introduces a use after free by calling
release_probes on the old struct tracepoint array before the newly
allocated array is published with rcu_assign_pointer. There is a race
window where tracepoints (RCU readers) can perform a
"use-after-grace-period-after-free", which shows up as a GPF in
stress-tests.

0a7418f5f5 This includes the final patch to clean up and fix the issue with the
design of tracepoints and how a user could register a tracepoint
 and have that tracepoint not be activated but no error was shown.
 
 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.
 
 A final patch was tagged along to fix a missing documentation for
 the README file.

tp_module structure.

Also removed un-needed brackets around an if statement.

de7b297390 tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints
Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer
rather than tracepoint name.

This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by
Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux
size.

From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer
to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a
tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for
unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated
tracepoint is unloaded.

68114e5eb8 Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation.
But there were a few features that were added.
 
 Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers.
 Uprobes have support under ftrace and perf.
 
 The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
 multi buffer instances. That is, you can now trace some functions
 in one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
 and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other. This only
 works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
 although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top level
 buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different function tracing
 going on in the sub buffers.

The following functions became unnecessary:

- tracepoint_probe_register_noupdate,
- tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate,
- tracepoint_probe_update_all.

In fact, none of the in-kernel tracers, nor LTTng, nor SystemTAP use
them. Remove those.

Moreover, the functions:

- tracepoint_iter_start,
- tracepoint_iter_next,
- tracepoint_iter_stop,
- tracepoint_iter_reset.

are unused by in-kernel tracers, LTTng and SystemTAP. Remove those too.

66cc69e34e Fix: module signature vs tracepoints: add new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE
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.

b196e2b9e2 tracing: Warn if a tracepoint is not set via debugfs
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.

45ab2813d4 tracing: Do not add event files for modules that fail tracepoints
If a module fails to add its tracepoints due to module tainting, do not
create the module event infrastructure in the debugfs directory. As the events
will not work and worse yet, they will silently fail, making the user wonder
why the events they enable do not display anything.

Having a warning on module load and the events not visible to the users
will make the cause of the problem much clearer.

9e8529afc4 Tracing updates for Linux 3.10
Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
 changes with this pull request.
 
 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
 
 This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
 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.

4c69e6ea41 tracepoints: Prevent null probe from being added
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.

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
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:

c5905afb0e static keys: Introduce 'struct static_key', static_key_true()/false() and 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.

c10076c430 tracepoints/module: Fix disabling tracepoints with taint CRAP or OOT
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.

b75ef8b44b Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex
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.

d430d3d7e6 jump label: Introduce static_branch() interface
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.

6549864629 tracepoints: Fix section alignment using pointer array
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.

(this patch applies on top of -tip)

38516ab59f tracing: Let tracepoints have data passed to tracepoint callbacks
This patch adds data to be passed to tracepoint callbacks.

The created functions from DECLARE_TRACE() now need a mandatory data
parameter. For example:

DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, int value, value)

Will create the register function:

int register_trace_mytracepoint((void(*)(void *data, int value))probe,
                                void *data);

As the first argument, all callbacks (probes) must take a (void *data)
parameter. So a callback for the above tracepoint will look like:

void myprobe(void *data, int value)
{
}

The callback may choose to ignore the data parameter.

This change allows callbacks to register a private data pointer along
with the function probe.

	void mycallback(void *data, int value);

	register_trace_mytracepoint(mycallback, mydata);

Then the mycallback() will receive the "mydata" as the first parameter
before the args.

A more detailed example:

  DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

  /* In the C file */

  DEFINE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(int status), TP_ARGS(status));

  [...]

       trace_mytracepoint(status);

  /* In a file registering this tracepoint */

  int my_callback(void *data, int status)
  {
	struct my_struct my_data = data;
	[...]
  }

  [...]
	my_data = kmalloc(sizeof(*my_data), GFP_KERNEL);
	init_my_data(my_data);
	register_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);

The same callback can also be registered to the same tracepoint as long
as the data registered is different. Note, the data must also be used
to unregister the callback:

	unregister_trace_mytracepoint(my_callback, my_data);

Because of the data parameter, tracepoints declared this way can not have
no args. That is:

  DECLARE_TRACE(mytracepoint, TP_PROTO(void), TP_ARGS());

will cause an error.

If no arguments are needed, a new macro can be used instead:

  DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS(mytracepoint);

Since there are no arguments, the proto and args fields are left out.

This is part of a series to make the tracepoint footprint smaller:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
4913961	1088356	 861512	6863829	 68bbd5	vmlinux.orig
4914025	1088868	 861512	6864405	 68be15	vmlinux.class
4918492	1084612	 861512	6864616	 68bee8	vmlinux.tracepoint

Again, this patch also increases the size of the kernel, but
lays the ground work for decreasing it.

 v5: Fixed net/core/drop_monitor.c to handle these updates.

 v4: Moved the DECLARE_TRACE() DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS out of the
     #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_POINTS, since the two are the same in both
     cases. The __DECLARE_TRACE() is what changes.
     Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing this out.

 v3: Made all register_* functions require data to be passed and
     all callbacks to take a void * parameter as its first argument.
     This makes the calling functions comply with C standards.

     Also added more comments to the modifications of DECLARE_TRACE().

 v2: Made the DECLARE_TRACE() have the ability to pass arguments
     and added a new DECLARE_TRACE_NOARGS() for tracepoints that
     do not need any arguments.

cc3b13c11c tracing: Don't trace kernel thread syscalls
Kernel threads don't call syscalls using the sysenter/sysexit
path. Instead they directly call the sys_* or do_* functions
that implement the syscalls inside the kernel.

The current syscall tracepoints only bind the sysenter/sysexit
path, then it has no effect to trace the kernel thread calls
to syscalls in that path.
Setting the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT flag is then useless for these.

Actually there is only one case when a kernel thread can reach the
usual syscall exit tracing path: when we create a kernel thread, the
child comes to ret_from_fork and is the fork() return is then traced.
But this information alone is useless, then we don't want to set the
TIF flags for these threads.

Kernel threads have task_struct->mm set to NULL.
(Thanks to Heiko for that hint ;-)
The idea is then to check the mm field in syscall_regfunc() and
set the flag accordingly.

9741987586 tracing: Move tracepoint callbacks from declaration to definition
It's not strictly correct for the tracepoint reg/unreg callbacks to
occur when a client is hooking up, because the actual tracepoint may not
be present yet.  This happens to be fine for syscall, since that's in
the core kernel, but it would cause problems for tracepoints defined in
a module that hasn't been loaded yet.  It also means the reg/unreg has
to be EXPORTed for any modules to use the tracepoint (as in SystemTap).

This patch removes DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK, and instead introduces
DEFINE_TRACE_FN which stores the callbacks in struct tracepoint.  The
callbacks are used now when the active state of the tracepoint changes
in set_tracepoint & disable_tracepoint.

This also introduces TRACE_EVENT_FN, so ftrace events can also provide
registration callbacks if needed.

3d27d8cb34 tracing: Make syscall tracepoints conditional
The syscall enter/exit tracepoints are only supported on archs that
HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS, so the declarations should be #ifdef'ed.
Also, the definition of syscall_regfunc and syscall_unregfunc should
depend on this same config, rather than the ftrace-specific one.

new APIs separate tracepoint_probe_register(),
tracepoint_probe_unregister() into 2 steps. The first step of them
is just update tracepoint_entry, not connect or disconnect.

this patch introduces tracepoint_probe_update_all() for update all.

these APIs are very useful for registering lots of probes
but just updating once. Another very important thing is that
*_noupdate APIs do not require module_mutex.

in this way, unused memory is handled by struct tracepoint_entry.
it bring reenter bug(it was fixed) and tracepoint.c is filled
full of ".*rcu.*" code statements. this patch removes all these.

and:
  rcu_barrier_sched() is removed.
