As ftrace_filter_lseek is now used with ftrace_pid_fops, it needs to
be moved out of the #ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section as the
ftrace_pid_fops is defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not.

Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek
for their fops. However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in
the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file
when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic.
It can be easily reproduced with following command:
$ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
$ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid
In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a")
and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().

On the failure path, stat->start and stat->pages will refer same page.
So it'll attempt to free the same page again and get kernel panic.

The function tracing control loop used by perf spits out a warning
if the called function is not a control function. This is because
the control function references a per cpu allocated data structure
on struct ftrace_ops that is not allocated for other types of
functions.
commit 0a016409e4 "ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop"
Had an optimization done to all function tracing loops to optimize
for a single registered ops. Unfortunately, this allows for a slight
race when tracing starts or ends, where the stub function might be
called after the current registered ops is removed. In this case we
get the following dump:
root# perf stat -e ftrace:function sleep 1

To fix this a new ftrace_ops flag is added that denotes the ftrace_list_end
ftrace_ops stub as just that, a stub. This flag is now checked in the
control loop and the function is not called if the flag is set.

The latency tracers require the buffers to be in overwrite mode,
otherwise they get screwed up. Force the buffers to stay in overwrite
mode when latency tracers are enabled.
Added a flag_changed() method to the tracer structure to allow
the tracers to see what flags are being changed, and also be able
to prevent the change from happing.

Changing the overwrite mode for the ring buffer via the trace
option only sets the normal buffer. But the snapshot buffer could
swap with it, and then the snapshot would be in non overwrite mode
and the normal buffer would be in overwrite mode, even though the
option flag states otherwise.
Keep the two buffers overwrite modes in sync.

Seems that the tracer flags have never been protected from
synchronous writes. Luckily, admins don't usually modify the
tracing flags via two different tasks. But if scripts were to
be used to modify them, then they could get corrupted.
Move the trace_types_lock that protects against tracers changing
to also protect the flags being set.

Because function tracing is very invasive, and can even trace
calls to rcu_read_lock(), RCU access in function tracing is done
with preempt_disable_notrace(). This requires a synchronize_sched()
for updates and not a synchronize_rcu().
Function probes (traceon, traceoff, etc) must be freed after
a synchronize_sched() after its entry has been removed from the
hash. But call_rcu() is used. Fix this by using call_rcu_sched().
Also fix the usage to use hlist_del_rcu() instead of hlist_del().

Although the swap is wrapped with a spin_lock, the assignment
of the temp buffer used to swap is not within that lock.
It needs to be moved into that lock, otherwise two swaps
happening on two different CPUs, can end up using the wrong
temp buffer to assign in the swap.
Luckily, all current callers of the swap function appear to have
their own locks. But in case something is added that allows two
different callers to call the swap, then there's a chance that
this race can trigger and corrupt the buffers.
New code is coming soon that will allow for this race to trigger.
I've Cc'd stable, so this bug will not show up if someone backports
one of the changes that can trigger this bug.

s390: Fix a header dependencies related build error
tracing: update documentation of snapshot utility
tracing: Do not return EINVAL in snapshot when not allocated
tracing: Add help of snapshot feature when snapshot is empty
ftrace: Update the kconfig for DYNAMIC_FTRACE
To use the tracing snapshot feature, writing a '1' into the snapshot
file causes the snapshot buffer to be allocated if it has not already
been allocated and dose a 'swap' with the main buffer, so that the
snapshot now contains what was in the main buffer, and the main buffer
now writes to what was the snapshot buffer.
To free the snapshot buffer, a '0' is written into the snapshot file.
To clear the snapshot buffer, any number but a '0' or '1' is written
into the snapshot file. But if the file is not allocated it returns
-EINVAL error code. This is rather pointless. It is better just to
do nothing and return success.

When cat'ing the snapshot file, instead of showing an empty trace
header like the trace file does, show how to use the snapshot
feature.
Also, this is a good place to show if the snapshot has been allocated
or not. Users may want to "pre allocate" the snapshot to have a fast
"swap" of the current buffer. Otherwise, a swap would be slow and might
fail as it would need to allocate the snapshot buffer, and that might
fail under tight memory constraints.
Here's what it looked like before:
# 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
# | | | |||| | |
Here's what it looks like now:
# tracer: nop
#
#
# * Snapshot is freed *
#
# 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)
# (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
# is not a '0' or '1')

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 prompt to enable DYNAMIC_FTRACE (the ability to nop and
enable function tracing at run time) had a confusing statement:
"enable/disable ftrace tracepoints dynamically"
This was written before tracepoints were added to the kernel,
but now that tracepoints have been added, this is very confusing
and has confused people enough to give wrong information during
presentations.
Not only that, I looked at the help text, and it still references
that dreaded daemon that use to wake up once a second to update
the nop locations and brick NICs, that hasn't been around for over
five years.
Time to bring the text up to the current decade.

tracing: Remove the extra 4 bytes of padding in events
changes the ABI. All involved parties (PowerTop in particular)
seem to agree that it's safe to do now with the introduction of
libtraceevent, but the devil is in the details ...
Main tooling side changes:
- Add 'event group view', from Namyung Kim:
To use it, 'perf record' should group events when recording. And
then perf report parses the saved group relation from file header
and prints them together if --group option is provided. You can
use the 'perf evlist' command to see event group information:
$ perf record -e '{ref-cycles,cycles}' noploop 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.385 MB perf.data (~16807 samples) ]
$ perf evlist --group
{ref-cycles,cycles}
With this example, default perf report will show you each event
separately.
You can use --group option to enable event group view:
$ perf report --group
...
# group: {ref-cycles,cycles}
# ========
# Samples: 7K of event 'anon group { ref-cycles, cycles }'
# Event count (approx.): 6876107743
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ................ ....... ................. ..........................

and cycles and header line shows group information also - 'anon
group { ref-cycles, cycles }'. The output is sorted by period of
group leader first.

- Add anonymous huge page recognition, from Joshua Zhu.
- perf build-id cache now can show DSOs present in a perf.data file
that are not in the cache, to integrate with build-id servers being

Commit: c1bf08ac "ftrace: Be first to run code modification on modules"
changed ftrace module notifier's priority to INT_MAX in order to
process the ftrace nops before anything else could touch them
(namely kprobes). This was the correct thing to do.
Unfortunately, the ftrace module notifier also contains the ftrace
clean up code. As opposed to the set up code, this code should be
run *after* all the module notifiers have run in case a module is doing
correct clean-up and unregisters its ftrace hooks. Basically, ftrace
needs to do clean up on module removal, as it needs to know about code
being removed so that it doesn't try to modify that code. But after it
removes the module from its records, if a ftrace user tries to remove
a probe, that removal will fail due as the record of that code segment
no longer exists.
Nothing really bad happens if the probe removal is called after ftrace
did the clean up, but the ftrace removal function will return an error.
Correct code (such as kprobes) will produce a WARN_ON() if it fails
to remove the probe. As people get annoyed by frivolous warnings, it's
best to do the ftrace clean up after everything else.
By splitting the ftrace_module_notifier into two notifiers, one that
does the module load setup that is run at high priority, and the other
that is called for module clean up that is run at low priority, the
problem is solved.

Obviously I'm not calling newfstat with a fd of 4d55b085. The calls are
obviously incorrect, and confusing.
Other efforts have been made to fix this:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/26/367
But the real solution is to rewrite the syscall internals and come up
with a fixed solution. One that doesn't require all the kluge that the
current solution has.
Thus for now, instead of outputting incorrect data, simply ignore them.
With this patch the changes now have:
#> grep lls /debug/tracing/trace
#>
Compat system calls simply are not traced. If users need compat
syscalls, then they should just use the raw syscall tracepoints.
For an architecture to make their compat syscalls ignored, it must
define ARCH_TRACE_IGNORE_COMPAT_SYSCALLS (done in asm/ftrace.h) and also
define an arch_trace_is_compat_syscall() function that will return true
if the current task should ignore tracing the syscall.
I want to stress that this change does not affect actual syscalls in any
way, shape or form. It is only used within the tracing system and
doesn't interfere with the syscall logic at all. The changes are
consolidated nicely into trace_syscalls.c and asm/ftrace.h.
I had to make one small modification to asm/thread_info.h and that was
to remove the include of asm/ftrace.h. As asm/ftrace.h required the
current_thread_info() it was causing include hell. That include was
added back in 2008 when the function graph tracer was added:
commit caf4b323 "tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing"
It does not need to be included there.

uprobe_perf_open/close call the costly uprobe_apply() every time,
we can avoid it if:
- "nr_systemwide != 0" is not changed.
- There is another process/thread with the same ->mm.
- copy_proccess() does inherit_event(). dup_mmap() preserves the
inserted breakpoints.
- event->attr.enable_on_exec == T, we can rely on uprobe_mmap()
called by exec/mmap paths.
- tp_target is exiting. Only _close() checks PF_EXITING, I don't
think TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN can hit the dying task too often.

Change uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func() to return "int". Change
uprobe_dispatcher() to return "trace_ret | perf_ret" although this is not
needed, currently TP_FLAG_TRACE/TP_FLAG_PROFILE are mutually exclusive.
The only functional change is that uprobe_perf_func() checks the filtering
too and returns UPROBE_HANDLER_REMOVE if nobody wants to trace current.
Testing:
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall -i perl -e 'fork; syscall -1 for 1..10; wait'
# perf report --show-total-period
100.00% 10 perl libc-2.8.so [.] syscall
Before this patch:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
/lib/libc.so.6 syscall 20
A child process doesn't have a counter, but still it hits this breakoint
"copied" by dup_mmap().
After the patch:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
/lib/libc.so.6 syscall 11
The child process hits this int3 only once and does unapply_uprobe().
Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>
Finally implement uprobe_perf_filter() which checks ->nr_systemwide or
->perf_events to figure out whether we need to insert the breakpoint.
uprobe_perf_open/close are changed to do uprobe_apply(true/false) when
the new perf event comes or goes away.
Note that currently this is very suboptimal:
- uprobe_register() called by TRACE_REG_PERF_REGISTER becomes a
heavy nop, consumer->filter() always returns F at this stage.
As it was already discussed we need uprobe_register_only() to
avoid the costly register_for_each_vma() when possible.
- uprobe_apply() is oftenly overkill. Unless "nr_systemwide != 0"
changes we need uprobe_apply_mm(), unapply_uprobe() is almost
what we need.
- uprobe_apply() can be simply avoided sometimes, see the next
changes.
Testing:
# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
# perl -e 'syscall -1 while 1' &
[1] 530
# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall perl -e 'syscall -1 for 1..10; sleep 1'
# perf report --show-total-period
100.00% 10 perl libc-2.8.so [.] syscall
Before this patch:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
/lib/libc.so.6 syscall 79291
A huge ->nrhit == 79291 reflects the fact that the background process
530 constantly hits this breakpoint too, even if doesn't contribute to
the output.
After the patch:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_profile
/lib/libc.so.6 syscall 10
This shows that only the target process was punished by int3.

Introduce "struct trace_uprobe_filter" which records the "active"
perf_event's attached to ftrace_event_call. For the start we simply
use list_head, we can optimize this later if needed. For example, we
do not really need to record an event with ->parent != NULL, we can
rely on parent->child_list. And we can certainly do some optimizations
for the case when 2 events have the same ->tp_target or tp_target->mm.
Change trace_uprobe_register() to process TRACE_REG_PERF_OPEN/CLOSE
and add/del this perf_event to the list.
We can probably avoid any locking, but lets start with the "obvioulsy

Move tu->nhit++ from uprobe_trace_func() to uprobe_dispatcher().
->nhit counts how many time we hit the breakpoint inserted by this
uprobe, we do not want to loose this info if uprobe was enabled by
sys_perf_event_open().

trace_uprobe->consumer and "struct uprobe_trace_consumer" add the
unnecessary indirection and complicate the code for no reason.
This patch simply embeds uprobe_consumer into "struct trace_uprobe",
all other changes only fix the compilation errors.

probe_event_enable/disable() check tu->consumer != NULL to avoid the
wrong uprobe_register/unregister().
We are going to kill this pointer and "struct uprobe_trace_consumer",
so we add the new helper, is_trace_uprobe_enabled(), which can rely
on TP_FLAG_TRACE/TP_FLAG_PROFILE instead.
Note: the current logic doesn't look optimal, it is not clear why
TP_FLAG_TRACE/TP_FLAG_PROFILE are mutually exclusive, we will probably
change this later.
Also kill the unused TP_FLAG_UPROBE.

probe_event_enable/disable() check tu->inode != NULL at the start.
This is ugly, if igrab() can fail create_trace_uprobe() should not
succeed and "postpone" the failure.
And S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) check added by d24d7dbf is not safe.
Note: alloc_uprobe() should probably check igrab() != NULL as well.

probe_event_enable() does uprobe_register() and only after that sets
utc->tu and tu->consumer/flags. This can race with uprobe_dispatcher()
which can miss these assignments or see them out of order. Nothing
really bad can happen, but this doesn't look clean/safe.
And this does not allow to use uprobe_consumer->filter() we are going
to add, it is called by uprobe_register() and it needs utc->tu.
Change this code to initialize everything before uprobe_register(), and
reset tu->consumer/flags if it fails. We can't race with event_disable(),
the caller holds event_mutex, and if we could the code would be wrong
anyway.
In fact I think uprobe_trace_consumer should die, it buys nothing but
complicates the code. We can simply add uprobe_consumer into trace_uprobe.

Change handle_swbp() to set regs->ip = bp_vaddr in advance, this is
what consumer->handler() needs but uprobe_get_swbp_addr() is not
exported.
This also simplifies the code and makes it more consistent across
the supported architectures. handle_swbp() becomes the only caller
of uprobe_get_swbp_addr().

uprobe_consumer->filter() is pointless in its current form, kill it.
We will add it back, but with the different signature/semantics. Perhaps
we will even re-introduce the callsite in handler_chain(), but not to
just skip uc->handler().

On early boot up, when the ftrace ring buffer is initialized, the
static variable current_trace is initialized to &nop_trace.
Before this initialization, current_trace is NULL and will never
become NULL again. It is always reassigned to a ftrace tracer.
Several places check if current_trace is NULL before it uses
it, and this check is frivolous, because at the point in time
when the checks are made the only way current_trace could be
NULL is if ftrace failed its allocations at boot up, and the
paths to these locations would probably not be possible.
By initializing current_trace to &nop_trace where it is declared,
current_trace will never be NULL, and we can remove all these
checks of current_trace being NULL which never needed to be
checked in the first place.

Ftrace has a snapshot feature available from kernel space and
latency tracers (e.g. irqsoff) are using it. This patch enables
user applictions to take a snapshot via debugfs.
Add "snapshot" debugfs file in "tracing" directory.
snapshot:
This is used to take a snapshot and to read the output of the
snapshot.
# echo 1 > snapshot
This will allocate the spare buffer for snapshot (if it is
not allocated), and take a snapshot.
# cat snapshot
This will show contents of the snapshot.
# echo 0 > snapshot
This will free the snapshot if it is allocated.
Any other positive values will clear the snapshot contents if
the snapshot is allocated, or return EINVAL if it is not allocated.

Currently the trace buffer read functions use a static variable
"old_tracer" for detecting if the current tracer changes. This
was suitable for a single trace file ("trace"), but to add a
snapshot feature that will use the same function for its file,
a check against a static variable is not sufficient.
To use the output functions for two different files, instead of
storing the current tracer in a static variable, as the trace
iterator descriptor contains a pointer to the original current
tracer's name, that pointer can now be used to check if the
current tracer has changed between different reads of the trace
file.

For systems with an unstable sched_clock, all cpu_clock() does is enable/
disable local irq during the call to sched_clock_cpu(). And for stable
systems they are same.
trace_clock_global() already disables interrupts, so it can call
sched_clock_cpu() directly.
