4950276672 kmemcheck: remove annotations
Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.

As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow).  KASan is already upstream.

We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).

The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.

Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

This patch (of 4):

Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

[alexander.levin@verizon.com: correctly remove kmemcheck call from dma_map_sg_attrs]

6aa7de0591 locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

1a149d7d3f ring-buffer: Rewrite trace_recursive_(un)lock() to be simpler
The current method to prevent the ring buffer from entering into a recursize
loop is to use a bitmask and set the bit that maps to the current context
(normal, softirq, irq or NMI), and if that bit was already set, it is
considered a recursive loop.

New code is being added that may require the ring buffer to be entered a
second time in the current context. The recursive locking prevents that from
happening. Instead of mapping a bitmask to the current context, just allow 4
levels of nesting in the ring buffer. This matches the 4 context levels that
it can already nest. It is highly unlikely to have more than two levels,
thus it should be fine when we add the second entry into the ring buffer. If
that proves to be a problem, we can always up the number to 8.

An added benefit is that reading preempt_count() to get the current level
adds a very slight but noticeable overhead. This removes that need.

a7e52ad7ed ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() return error on offline CPU
Chunyu Hu reported:
  "per_cpu trace directories and files are created for all possible cpus,
   but only the cpus which have ever been on-lined have their own per cpu
   ring buffer (allocated by cpuhp threads). While trace_buffers_open, the
   open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access
   field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer.

   Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV
   when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer.

   Reproduce:
   cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw
   (cpu31 is never on-lined, this is a 16 cores x86_64 box)

   Tested with:
   1) boot with maxcpus=14, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
      Got -NODEV.
   2) oneline cpu15, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
      Get the raw trace data.

   Call trace:

This was introduced by the addition of the feature to reuse reader pages
instead of re-allocating them. The problem is that the allocation of a
reader page (which is per cpu) does not check if the cpu is online and set
up for the ring buffer.

848618857d tracing/ring_buffer: Try harder to allocate
ftrace can fail to allocate per-CPU ring buffer on systems with a large
number of CPUs coupled while large amounts of cache happening in the
page cache. Currently the ring buffer allocation doesn't retry in the VM
implementation even if direct-reclaim made some progress but still
wasn't able to find a free page. On retrying I see that the allocations
almost always succeed. The retry doesn't happen because __GFP_NORETRY is
used in the tracer to prevent the case where we might OOM, however if we
drop __GFP_NORETRY, we risk destabilizing the system if OOM killer is
triggered. To prevent this situation, use the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL flag
introduced recently [1].

Tested the following still succeeds without destabilizing a system with
1GB memory.
echo 300000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb

o Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.
    i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
 
  o The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing instances.
    i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
    The old way was written very hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
 
  o New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the set_ftrace_pid
    will have their children added when the processes with their pids
    listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
 
  o Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
 
  o Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function tracer
    (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing will come
    in the next release.
 
  o Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance.

73a757e631 ring-buffer: Return reader page back into existing ring buffer
When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice,
where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the
reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls
ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the
reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page
for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page
for the reader.

The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is
passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next
iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc
mechanism.

Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to
require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling
ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a
stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times
the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring
buffer.

Before this change:

  # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1
  # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l
  9968

After this change:

  # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1
  # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l

78f7a45dac ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_iter_empty() return true when empty
I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a
status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how
to allocate and use it. For example:

 ># cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 #
 # * Snapshot is allocated *
 #
 # Snapshot commands:
 # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
 # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
 #                      Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
 # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free)
 #                      (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
 #                       is not a '0' or '1')

But instead it just showed an empty buffer:

 ># cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0   #P:4
 #
 #                              _-----=> irqs-off
 #                             / _----=> need-resched
 #                            | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
 #                            || / _--=> preempt-depth
 #                            ||| /     delay
 #           TASK-PID   CPU#  ||||    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |       |   ||||       |         |

What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to
see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function
was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header
page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the
buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit
page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as
all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

  o Wakeup and irqsoff tracers now adhere to the set_graph_notrace file
  o Other various fixes and clean ups
 
 Note, there are two patches marked for stable. These were discovered
 near the end of the 4.9 rc release cycle. By the time I had them tested
 it was just a matter of days before 4.9 would be released, and I
 figured I would just submit them in the merge window. They are old
 bugs and not critical. Nothing non-root could abuse.

Before commit b32614c034 ("tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state

POSSIBLE CPUs. After the CPU hotplug changes the buffer initialisation
moved to trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but I forgot to initially set the

the allocated cpumask was initialized to the mask of online or possible

trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but the cpumask is allocated with alloc_cpumask()
and therefor has random content. As a consequence the cpu buffers are not
initialized and a later access dereferences a NULL pointer.

Use zalloc_cpumask() instead so trace_rb_cpu_prepare() initializes the
buffers properly.

59643d1535 ring-buffer: Prevent overflow of size in ring_buffer_resize()
If the size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is greater than MAX_LONG - BUF_PAGE_SIZE
then the DIV_ROUND_UP() will return zero.

Here's the details:

  # echo 18014398509481980 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb

tracing_entries_write() processes this and converts kb to bytes.

 18014398509481980 << 10 = 18446744073709547520

and this is passed to ring_buffer_resize() as unsigned long size.

 size = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE);

Where DIV_ROUND_UP(a, b) is (a + b - 1)/b

BUF_PAGE_SIZE is 4080 and here

 18446744073709547520 + 4080 - 1 = 18446744073709551599

where 18446744073709551599 is still smaller than 2^64

 2^64 - 18446744073709551599 = 17

But now 18446744073709551599 / 4080 = 4521260802379792

and size = size * 4080 = 18446744073709551360

This is checked to make sure its still greater than 2 * 4080,
which it is.

Then we convert to the number of buffer pages needed.

 nr_page = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE)

but this time size is 18446744073709551360 and

 2^64 - (18446744073709551360 + 4080 - 1) = -3823

Thus it overflows and the resulting number is less than 4080, which makes

  3823 / 4080 = 0

an nr_pages is set to this. As we already checked against the minimum that
nr_pages may be, this causes the logic to fail as well, and we crash the
kernel.

There's no reason to have the two DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's just result of
historical code changes), clean up the code and fix this bug.

9b94a8fba5 ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures
The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The
nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit
machines this can cause an overflow problem.

For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb
 # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb

Then you get the warning of:

 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260

Which is:

  RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed);

Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes.

This is because:

 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages.
    (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold)

 2) (2^31 / 2^10  + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240
    The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed
    to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760

 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE
    which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672

 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get:
    2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update

 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int
    turns into the value of -2147482627

 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is
    negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will
    be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning
    because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

it will return NULL. At that point, check if the page being returned has

get ahead of the actual timestamp and make it look like time goes backwards.

Now that events only add time extends after it is committed, in case
an event comes in before it can discard the allocated event, the time
extend needs to be stored within the event. If the event is bigger
than then size needed for the time extend, padding must be added.
The minimum padding size is 8 bytes. Thus if the event is 12 bytes
(size of time extend + 4), there will not be enough room to add both
the time extend and padding. Make sure all events are either 8 bytes
or 16 or more bytes.

a4543a2fa9 ring-buffer: Get timestamp after event is allocated
Move the capturing of the timestamp to after an event is allocated.
If the event is not a commit (where it is an event that preempted
another event), then no timestamp is needed, because the delta of
nested events is always zero.

If the event starts on a new page, no delta needs to be calculated
as the full timestamp will be added to the page header, and the
event will have a delta of zero.

Now if the event requires a time extend (the delta does not fit
in the 27 bit delta slot in the header), then the event is discarded,
the length is extended to hold the TIME_EXTEND event that allows for
a 59 bit delta, and the commit is tried again.

If the event can't be discarded (another event came in after it),
then the TIME_EXTEND is added directly to the allocated event and
the rest of the event is given padding.

Currently, if an NMI does a dump of a ring buffer, it disables
all ring buffers from ever doing any writes again. This is because
it wont take the locks for the cpu_buffer and this can cause
corruption if it preempted a read, or a read happens on another
CPU for the current cpu buffer. This is a bit overkill.

First, it should at least try to take the lock, and if it fails
then disable it. Also, there's no need to disable all ring
buffers, even those that are unrelated to what is being read.
Only disable the per cpu ring buffer that is being read if
it can not get the lock for it.

Not only does this simplify the code, it also allows for one ring buffer

trace_printk() can now be used within the ring buffer to record changes
done by an instance into the main ring buffer. The recursion checks
will prevent the trace_printk() itself from causing recursive issues
with the main ring buffer (it is just ignored), but the recursive
checks wont prevent the trace_printk() from recording other ring buffers.

af658dca22 tracing: Rename ftrace_event.h to trace_events.h
The term "ftrace" is really the infrastructure of the function hooks,
and not the trace events. Rename ftrace_event.h to trace_events.h to

d631c8cceb ring-buffer: Remove duplicate use of '&' in recursive code
A clean up of the recursive protection code changed

  val = this_cpu_read(current_context);
  val--;
  val &= this_cpu_read(current_context);

to

  val = this_cpu_read(current_context);
  val &= val & (val - 1);

Which has a duplicate use of '&' as the above is the same as

  val = val & (val - 1);

Actually, it would be best to remove that line altogether and
just add it to where it is used.

And Christoph even mentioned that it can be further compacted to
just a single line:

  __this_cpu_and(current_context, __this_cpu_read(current_context) - 1);

80a9b64e2c ring-buffer: Replace this_cpu_*() with __this_cpu_*()
It has come to my attention that this_cpu_read/write are horrible on
architectures other than x86. Worse yet, they actually disable
preemption or interrupts! This caused some unexpected tracing results
on ARM.

   101.356868: preempt_count_add <-ring_buffer_lock_reserve
   101.356870: preempt_count_sub <-ring_buffer_lock_reserve

The ring_buffer_lock_reserve has recursion protection that requires
accessing a per cpu variable. But since preempt_disable() is traced, it
too got traced while accessing the variable that is suppose to prevent
recursion like this.

The generic version of this_cpu_read() and write() are:

 #define this_cpu_generic_read(pcp)					\
 ({	typeof(pcp) ret__;						\
	preempt_disable();						\
	ret__ = *this_cpu_ptr(&(pcp));					\
	preempt_enable();						\
	ret__;								\
 })

 #define this_cpu_generic_to_op(pcp, val, op)				\
 do {									\
	unsigned long flags;						\
	raw_local_irq_save(flags);					\
	*__this_cpu_ptr(&(pcp)) op val;					\
	raw_local_irq_restore(flags);					\
 } while (0)

Which is unacceptable for locations that know they are within preempt
disabled or interrupt disabled locations.

Paul McKenney stated that __this_cpu_() versions produce much better code on
other architectures than this_cpu_() does, if we know that the call is done in
a preempt disabled location.

I also changed the recursive_unlock() to use two local variables instead
of accessing the per_cpu variable twice.

1e0d6714ac ring-buffer: Do not wake up a splice waiter when page is not full
When an application connects to the ring buffer via splice, it can only
read full pages. Splice does not work with partial pages. If there is
not enough data to fill a page, the splice command will either block
or return -EAGAIN (if set to nonblock).

Code was added where if the page is not full, to just sleep again.
The problem is, it will get woken up again on the next event. That
is, when something is written into the ring buffer, if there is a waiter
it will wake it up. The waiter would then check the buffer, see that
it still does not have enough data to fill a page and go back to sleep.
To make matters worse, when the waiter goes back to sleep, it could
cause another event, which would wake it back up again to see it
doesn't have enough data and sleep again. This produces a tremendous
overhead and fills the ring buffer with noise.

For example, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10 seconds
produces 25,350,475 events!!!

Create another wait queue for those waiters wanting full pages.
When an event is written, it only wakes up waiters if there's a full
page of data. It does not wake up the waiter if the page is not yet
full.

After this change, recording sched_switch on an idle system for 10
seconds produces only 800 events. Getting rid of 25,349,675 useless
events (99.9969% of events!!), is something to take seriously.

1dd7dcb6ea There was a lot of clean ups and minor fixes. One of those clean ups was
to the trace_seq code. It also removed the return values to the
 trace_seq_*() functions and use trace_seq_has_overflowed() to see if
 the buffer filled up or not. This is similar to work being done to the
 seq_file code as well in another tree.
 
 Some of the other goodies include:
 
  o Added some "!" (NOT) logic to the tracing filter.
 
  o Fixed the frame pointer logic to the x86_64 mcount trampolines
 
  o Added the logic for dynamic trampolines on !CONFIG_PREEMPT systems.
    That is, the ftrace trampoline can be dynamically allocated
    and be called directly by functions that only have a single hook
    to them.
