Since the ring buffer is lockless, there is no need to disable ftrace on CPU. And no one doing so: after commit 68179686 ("tracing: Remove ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()") ftrace_cpu_disabled stays the same after initialization, nothing changes it. ftrace_cpu_disabled shouldn't be used by any external module since it disables only function and graph_function tracers but not any other tracer.

Currently tracing_init_dentry() returns -ENODEV when debugfs is not configured in, which causes tracefs not populated with tracing files and directories, so we will get an empty directory even after we manually mount tracefs. We can make tracing_init_dentry() return NULL if debugfs is not configured in and can manually mount tracefs. But return -ENODEV if debugfs is configured in but not initialized or failed to create automount point as that would break backward compatibility with older tools.

In tracefs' start_creating(), we pin the file system to safely access its root. When we failed to create a file, we unpin the file system via failed_creating() to release the mount count and eventually the reference of the singleton vfsmount. However, when we run into an error during lookup_one_len() when still in start_creating(), we only release the parent's mutex but not so the reference on the mount. F.e., in securityfs_create_file(), after doing simple_pin_fs() when lookup_one_len() fails there, we infact do simple_release_fs(). This seems necessary here as well. Same issue seen in debugfs due to 190afd81 ("debugfs: split the beginning and the end of __create_file() off"), which seemed to got carried over into tracefs, too. Noticed during code review.

Both early_enable_events() and apply_trace_boot_options() parse a boot string that may get parsed later on. They both use strsep() which converts a comma into a nul character. To still allow the boot string to be parsed again the same way, the nul character gets converted back to a comma after the token is processed. The problem is that these two functions check for an empty parameter (two commas in a row ",,"), and continue the loop if the parameter is empty, but fails to place the comma back. In this case, the second parsing will end at this blank field, and not process fields afterward. In most cases, users should not have an empty field, but if its going to be checked, the code might as well be correct. Signed-off-by: -

Currently, the trace_options parameter is only applied in tracer_alloc_buffers() when global_trace.current_trace is nop_trace, so a tracer specific option will not be applied even when the specific tracer is also enabled from kernel command line. For example, the 'func_stack_trace' option can't be enabled with the following kernel parameter: ftrace=function ftrace_filter=kfree trace_options=func_stack_trace We can enable tracer specific options by simply apply the options again if the specific tracer is also supplied from command line and started in register_tracer(). To make trace_boot_options_buf can be parsed again, a comma and a space is put back if they were replaced by strsep and strstrip respectively. Also make register_tracer() be __init to access the __init data, and in fact register_tracer is only called from __init code.

The commit b44754d8 ("ring_buffer: Allow to exit the ring buffer benchmark immediately") added a hack into ring_buffer_producer() that set @kill_test when kthread_should_stop() returned true. It improved the situation a lot. It stopped the kthread in most cases because the producer spent most of the time in the patched while cycle. But there are still few possible races when kthread_should_stop() is set outside of the cycle. Then we do not set @kill_test and some other checks pass. This patch adds a better fix. It renames @test_kill/TEST_KILL() into a better descriptive @test_error/TEST_ERROR(). Also it introduces break_test() function that checks for both @test_error and kthread_should_stop(). The new function is used in the producer when the check for @test_error is not enough. It is not used in the consumer because its state is manipulated by the producer via the "reader_finish" variable. Also we add a missing check into ring_buffer_producer_thread() between setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule_timeout(). Otherwise, we might miss a wakeup from kthread_stop().

It seems that complete(&read_done) might be called too early in some situations. 1st scenario: ------------- CPU0 CPU1 ring_buffer_producer_thread() wake_up_process(consumer); wait_for_completion(&read_start); ring_buffer_consumer_thread() complete(&read_start); ring_buffer_producer() # producing data in # the do-while cycle ring_buffer_consumer(); # reading data # got error # set kill_test = 1; set_current_state( TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); if (reader_finish) # false schedule(); # producer still in the middle of # do-while cycle if (consumer && !(cnt % wakeup_interval)) wake_up_process(consumer); # spurious wakeup while (!reader_finish && !kill_test) # leaving because # kill_test == 1 reader_finish = 0; complete(&read_done); 1st BANG: We might access uninitialized "read_done" if this is the the first round. # producer finally leaving # the do-while cycle because kill_test == 1; if (consumer) { reader_finish = 1; wake_up_process(consumer); wait_for_completion(&read_done); 2nd BANG: This will never complete because consumer already did the completion. 2nd scenario: ------------- CPU0 CPU1 ring_buffer_producer_thread() wake_up_process(consumer); wait_for_completion(&read_start); ring_buffer_consumer_thread() complete(&read_start); ring_buffer_producer() # CPU3 removes the module <--- difference from # and stops producer <--- the 1st scenario if (kthread_should_stop()) kill_test = 1; ring_buffer_consumer(); while (!reader_finish && !kill_test) # kill_test == 1 => we never go # into the top level while() reader_finish = 0; complete(&read_done); # producer still in the middle of # do-while cycle if (consumer && !(cnt % wakeup_interval)) wake_up_process(consumer); # spurious wakeup while (!reader_finish && !kill_test) # leaving because kill_test == 1 reader_finish = 0; complete(&read_done); BANG: We are in the same "bang" situations as in the 1st scenario. Root of the problem: -------------------- ring_buffer_consumer() must complete "read_done" only when "reader_finish" variable is set. It must not be skipped due to other conditions. Note that we still must keep the check for "reader_finish" in a loop because there might be spurious wakeups as described in the above scenarios. Solution: ---------- The top level cycle in ring_buffer_consumer() will finish only when "reader_finish" is set. The data will be read in "while-do" cycle so that they are not read after an error (kill_test == 1) or a spurious wake up. In addition, "reader_finish" is manipulated by the producer thread. Therefore we add READ_ONCE() to make sure that the fresh value is read in each cycle. Also we add the corresponding barrier to synchronize the sleep check. Next we set the state back to TASK_RUNNING for the situation where we did not sleep. Just from paranoid reasons, we initialize both completions statically. This is safer, in case there are other races that we are unaware of. As a side effect we could remove the memory barrier from ring_buffer_producer_thread(). IMHO, this was the reason for the barrier. ring_buffer_reset() uses spin locks that should provide the needed memory barrier for using the buffer.

A stack frame may be used in a different way depending on cpu architecture. Thus it is not always appropriate to slurp the stack contents, as current check_stack() does, in order to calcurate a stack index (height) at a given function call. At least not on arm64. In addition, there is a possibility that we will mistakenly detect a stale stack frame which has not been overwritten. This patch makes check_stack() a weak function so as to later implement arch-specific version.

There's no need to record the time tracepoints take when tracing is off. This is because: 1) We cannot see these records since ring_buffer record is off at that moment. 2) If tracing is off and benchmark tracepoint is enabled, the time tracepoint takes is fewer than the same situation when tracing is on, since the tracepoints need to be wrote into ring_buffer, it would take more time. If turn on tracing at this moment, the average and standard deviation cannot exactly present the time that tracepoints take to write data into ring_buffer.

Add the necessary hooks to use the pids loaded in set_event_pid to filter all the events enabled in the tracing instance that match the pids listed. Two probes are added to both sched_switch and sched_wakeup tracepoints to be called before other probes are called and after the other probes are called. The first is used to set the necessary flags to let the probes know to test if they should be traced or not. The sched_switch pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the previous or next task has a matching pid. The sched_switch probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the next task does not match the matching pid. The pre probe allows for probes tracing sched_switch to be traced if necessary. The sched_wakeup pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the current task nor the wakee task has a matching pid. The sched_wakeup post probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the current task does not have a matching pid. Cc: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: -

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. Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Signed-off-by:
