9f58a159d0 tracing/filters: disallow integer values for string filters and vice versa
Impact: fix filter use boundary condition / crash

Make sure filters for string fields don't use integer values and vice
versa.  Getting it wrong can crash the system or produce bogus
results.

1618536961 tracing/function-graph-tracer: fix functions call traces imbalance
Impact: fix traces output

Sometimes one can observe an imbalance in the traces between function
calls and function return traces:

func1() {
    }
}

The curly brace inside func1() is the return of another function nested
inside func1. The return trace have been inserted in the buffer but not
the entry.
We are storing a return address on the function traces stack while we
haven't inserted its entry on the buffer, hence the imbalance on the
traces.

This is because the tracers doesn't check all failures that can happen
on buffer insertion.

This patch reports the tracing recursion failures and the ring buffer
failures. In such cases, we now restore the original return address for
the function, giving up its return trace.

c4cff064be tracing/filters: clean up filter_add_subsystem_pred()
Impact: cleanup, memory leak fix

This patch cleans up filter_add_subsystem_pred():

- searches for the field before creating a copy of the pred

- fixes memory leak in the case a predicate isn't applied

- if -ENOMEM, makes sure there's no longer a reference to the
  pred so the caller can free the half-finished filter

- changes the confusing i == MAX_FILTER_PRED - 1 comparison
  previously remarked upon

This affects only per-subsystem event filtering.

b118415bfa tracing/events: don't discard an event after commit
When we want to filter an event, the filter test is done after
the event is commited to the ring-buffer to be discarded later if
needed.

But a reader could be reading this event while we are trying to discard
it. Other kind of racy events can even happen because the event is
commited and can be read and/or consumed.

What we want is to discard the event before committing it.

7e6ea92df3 tracing/ftrace: make nop-tracer use polling wait for events on pipe
Impact: display events when they arrive

Now that the events don't use wake_up() anymore, we need the nop
tracer to poll waiting for events on the pipe. Especially because
nop is useful to look at orphan traces types (traces types that
don't rely on specific tracers) because it doesn't produce traces
itself.

And unlike other tracers that trigger specific traces periodically,
nop triggers no traces by itself that can wake him.

07edf71213 tracing/events: don't use wake up for events
Impact: fix hard-lockup with sched switch events

Some ftrace events, such as sched wakeup, can be traced
while the runqueue lock is hold. Since they are using
trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit(), they call wake_up()
which can try to grab the runqueue lock too, resulting in
a deadlock.

Now for all event, we call a new helper:
trace_nowake_buffer_unlock_commit() which do pretty the same than
trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit() except than it doesn't call
trace_wake_up().

cfb180f3e7 tracing: add per-subsystem filtering
This patch adds per-subsystem filtering to the event tracing subsystem.

It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each subsystem directory.  This file
can be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the
current set of filters set for that subsystem.

Basically what it does is propagate the filter down to each event
contained in the subsystem.  If a particular event doesn't have a field
with the name specified in the filter, it simply doesn't get set for
that event.  You can verify whether or not the filter was set for a
particular event by looking at the filter file for that event.

As with per-event filters, compound expressions are supported, echoing
'0' to the subsystem's filter file clears all filters in the subsystem,
etc.

7ce7e42499 tracing: add per-event filtering
This patch adds per-event filtering to the event tracing subsystem.

It adds a 'filter' debugfs file to each event directory.  This file can
be written to to set filters; reading from it will display the current
set of filters set for that event.

Basically, any field listed in the 'format' file for an event can be
filtered on (including strings, but not yet other array types) using
either matching ('==') or non-matching ('!=') 'predicates'.  A
'predicate' can be either a single expression:

 # echo pid != 0 > filter

 # cat filter
 pid != 0

or a compound expression of up to 8 sub-expressions combined using '&&'
or '||':

 # echo comm == Xorg > filter
 # echo "&& sig != 29" > filter

 # cat filter
 comm == Xorg
 && sig != 29

Only events having field values matching an expression will be available
in the trace output; non-matching events are discarded.

Note that a compound expression is built up by echoing each
sub-expression separately - it's not the most efficient way to do
things, but it keeps the parser simple and assumes that compound
expressions will be relatively uncommon.  In any case, a subsequent
patch introducing a way to set filters for entire subsystems should
mitigate any need to do this for lots of events.

Setting a filter without an '&&' or '||' clears the previous filter
completely and sets the filter to the new expression:

 # cat filter
 comm == Xorg
 && sig != 29

 # echo comm != Xorg

 # cat filter
 comm != Xorg

To clear a filter, echo 0 to the filter file:

 # echo 0 > filter
 # cat filter
 none

The limit of 8 predicates for a compound expression is arbitrary - for
efficiency, it's implemented as an array of pointers to predicates, and
8 seemed more than enough for any filter...

cf586b61f8 tracing/function-graph-tracer: prevent hangs during self-tests
Impact: detect tracing related hangs

Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make
the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless
loop of timer interrupts servicing.

As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the
selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely
disabling this tracer.

For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace
hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump
the traces after this hang detection.

3bf832ce1f tracing/ring-buffer: fix non cpu hotplug case
Impact: fix warning with irqsoff tracer

The ring buffer allocates its buffers on pre-smp time (early_initcall).
It means that, at first, only the boot cpu buffer is allocated and
the ring-buffer cpumask only has the boot cpu set (cpu_online_mask).

Later, the secondary cpu will show up and the ring-buffer will be notified
about this event: the appropriate buffer will be allocated and the cpumask
will be updated.

Unfortunately, if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG, the ring-buffer will not be
notified about the secondary cpus, meaning that the cpumask will have
only the cpu boot set, and only one cpu buffer allocated.

We fix that by using cpu_possible_mask if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG.

This patch fixes the following warning with irqsoff tracer running:

4acd4d00f7 tracing: give easy way to clear trace buffer
There is currently no easy way to clear the trace buffer. Currently
the only way is to change the current tracer.

This patch lets the user clear the trace buffer by simply writing
into the trace files.

 echo > /debug/tracing/trace

or to clear a single cpu (i.e. for CPU 1):

 echo > /debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu1/trace

During the selftest of irqsoff tracer, we do that:

	/* disable interrupts for a bit */
	local_irq_disable();
	udelay(100);
	local_irq_enable();
	/* stop the tracing. */
	tracing_stop();
	/* check both trace buffers */
	ret = trace_test_buffer(tr, NULL);

If a callsite performs a new max delay with irqs off just after
tracing_stop, update_max_tr_single() -> ring_buffer_swap_cpu()
will be called with the buffers disabled by tracing_stop(), hence
the warning, then ring_buffer_swap_cpu() return -EAGAIN and
update_max_tr_single() complains.

Fix it by also stopping the tracer before stopping the tracing globally.
A similar situation can happen with preemptoff and preemptirqsoff tracers
where we apply the same fix.

Impact: prevent stale command line output

In case there is no valid command line mapping for a pid
trace_find_cmdline() returns without updating the comm buffer. The
trace dump keeps the previous entry which results in confusing trace
output:

     <idle>-0     [000]   280.702056 ....
     <idle>-23456 [000]   280.702080 ....

2c7eea4c62 tracing: replace the crude (unsigned) -1 hackery
Impact: cleanup

The command line recorder uses (unsigned) -1 to mark non mapped
entries in the pid to command line maps. The validity check is
completely unintuitive: idx >= SAVED_CMDLINES

There is no need for such casting games. Use a constant to mark
unmapped entries and check for that constant to make the code readable
and understandable.

18aecd362a tracing: stop command line recording when tracing is disabled
Impact: prevent overwrite of command line entries

When the tracer is stopped the command line recording continues to
record. The check for tracing_is_on() is not sufficient here as the
ringbuffer status is not affected by setting
debug/tracing/tracing_enabled to 0. On a non idle system this can
result in the loss of the command line information for the stopped
trace, which makes the trace harder to read and analyse.

Check tracer_enabled to allow further recording.

6adaad14d7 tracing: stop comm recording on tracing off
Impact: fix for losing comms in trace

The command lines of tasks are cached at sched switch to not need
to record them at every trace point.  Disabling the tracing on stops
the recording of traces, but does not stop the caching of command lines.
When the tracing is off the cache may overflow and cause the tracing
to show incorrect tasks matching the PIDs.

This patch disables prevents updates to the comm cache when the ring buffer
is off.

4ca5308523 tracing: protect reader of cmdline output
Impact: fix to one cause of incorrect comm outputs in trace

The spinlock only protected the creation of a comm <=> pid pair.
But it was possible that a reader could look up a pid, and get the
wrong comm because it had no locking.

This also required changing trace_find_cmdline to copy the comm cache
and not just send back a pointer to it.

This is because in fail case, the preemptirqsoff tracer selftest calls twice
the tracing_start() function:

int
trace_selftest_startup_preemptirqsoff(struct tracer *trace, struct trace_array *tr)
{
        if (!ret && !count) {
                printk(KERN_CONT ".. no entries found ..");
                ret = -1;
                tracing_start(); <-----
                goto out;

        [...]
out:
        trace->reset(tr);
        tracing_start(); <------
        tracing_max_latency = save_max;

        return ret;
}

Since it is well handled in the out path, we don't need the conditional one.
