      tracing: Move syscalls metadata handling from arch to core · c44fc770
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
      But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
      that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
      syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
      that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.
      
      v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
          avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
          in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar authored
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

      tracing: Allocate the ftrace event profile buffer dynamically · 20ab4425
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Currently the trace event profile buffer is allocated in the stack. But
      this may be too much for the stack, as the events can have large
      statically defined field size and can also grow with dynamic arrays.
      
      Allocate two per cpu buffer for all profiled events. The first cpu
      buffer is used to host every non-nmi context traces. It is protected
      by disabling the interrupts while writing and committing the trace.
      
      The second buffer is reserved for nmi. So that there is no race between
      them and the first buffer.
      
      The whole write/commit section is rcu protected because we release
      these buffers while deactivating the last profiling trace event.
      
      v2: Move the buffers from trace_event to be global, as pointed by
          Steven Rostedt.
      
      v3: Fix the syscall events to handle the profiling buffer races
          by disabling interrupts, now that the buffers are globals.

      tracing: pass around ring buffer instead of tracer · e77405ad
      Steven Rostedt authored
      The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
      on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
      the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
      max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
      wrong buffer.
      
      This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
      buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
      in to the commit.

      Convert the syscalls event tracing code to use NR_syscalls, instead of
      FTRACE_SYSCALL_MAX. NR_syscalls is standard accross most arches, and

      tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls · cd0980fc
      Hendrik Brueckner authored
      Most arch syscall_get_nr() implementations returns -1 if the syscall
      number is not valid.  Accessing the bit field without a check might
      result in a kernel oops (at least I saw it on s390 for ftrace selftest).
      
      Before this change, this problem did not occur, because the invalid
      syscall number (-1) caused syscall_nr_to_meta() to return NULL.
      
      There are at least two scenarios where syscall_get_nr() can return -1:
      
      1. For example, ptrace stores an invalid syscall number, and thus,
         tracing code resets it.
         (see do_syscall_trace_enter in arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c)
      
      2. The syscall_regfunc() (kernel/tracepoint.c) sets the
         TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE (now: TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) flag for all threads
         which include kernel threads.
         However, the ftrace selftest triggers a kernel oops when testing
         syscall trace points:
            - The kernel thread is started as ususal (do_fork()),
            - tracing code sets TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE,
            - the ret_from_fork() function is triggered and starts
      	ftrace_syscall_exit() with an invalid syscall number.
      
      To avoid these scenarios, I suggest to check the syscall_nr.
      
      For instance, the ftrace selftest fails for s390 (with config option
      CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS set) and produces the following kernel oops.
      
      Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference at virtual kernel address 2000000000

      tracing: Create generic syscall TRACE_EVENTs · 1c569f02
      Josh Stone authored
      This converts the syscall_enter/exit tracepoints into TRACE_EVENTs, so
      you can have generic ftrace events that capture all system calls with
      arguments and return values.  These generic events are also renamed to
      sys_enter/exit, so they're more closely aligned to the specific
      sys_enter_foo events.

      tracing/syscalls: Fix fields format for enter events · e6971969
      Li Zefan authored
      The "format" file of a trace event is originally for parsers to
      parse ftrace binary output.
      
      But the "format" file of a syscall event can only be used by
      perfcounter, because it describes the format of struct
      syscall_enter_record not struct syscall_trace_enter.
      
      To fix this, we remove struct syscall_enter_record, and then
      struct syscall_trace_enter will be used by both perf profile
      and ftrace.

      tracing/syscalls: Fix to print parameter types · ba8b3a40
      Li Zefan authored
      When syscall tracing was implemented as a tracer,
      "syscall_arg_type" trace option could be set to enable the
      display of syscall parameter types.
      
      Now this option is gone since it's no longer a tracer, but the
      code is still there but dead.
      
      So we remove dead code and re-enable the printing of paramete
      types via the verbose option:
      
        # echo verbose > trace_options
        # echo syscalls > set_event
        # cat trace
      	...
              bash-3331  [000]    95.348937: sys_fcntl64 -> 0x1
              bash-3331  [000]    95.348942: sys_close(unsigned int fd: a)

      tracing: Add fields format definition for syscall events · dc4ddb4c
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Define the format of the syscall trace fields to parse the binary
      values from a raw trace using the syscall events "format" file.
      
      This is defined dynamically using the syscalls metadata.
      It prepares the export of syscall event raw records to perf
      counters.
      
      Example:
      
      $ cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_sched_getparam/format
      name: sys_enter_sched_getparam
      ID: 39
      format:
      	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;
      	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;
      	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;
      	field:int common_pid;	offset:4;	size:4;
      	field:int common_tgid;	offset:8;	size:4;
      
      	field:pid_t pid;	offset:12;	size:8;
      	field:struct sched_param * param;	offset:20;	size:8;

      This patch associates an id with each syscall trace event, so that we

      tracing/syscalls: use a dedicated file header · 47788c58
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: fix build warnings and possibe compat misbehavior on IA64
      
      Building a kernel on ia64 might trigger these ugly build warnings:
      
      CC      arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.o
      In file included from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:55:

      sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h
      to import the syscalls tracing prototypes.
      
      But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file,
      especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher
      level headers.
      
      Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

      tracing/syscalls: core infrastructure for syscalls tracing, enhancements · bed1ffca
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      Impact: new feature
      
      This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is
      currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing
      engines can use it. (They just have to play with
      {start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks
      unless they want to override them.)
      
      The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal
      some metadata informations:
      
      - syscall name, param types, param names, number of params
      
      The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition
      because we don't know if its prototype is available in the
      namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to
      build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its
      metadata struct.
      
      The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names
      and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is
      a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.
