In case a module uses the TRACE_EVENT macro for creating automated events in ftrace, it may choose to use a different file name than the defined system name, or choose to use a different path than the default "include/trace/events" include path. If this is done, then before including trace/define_trace.h the header would define either "TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE" for the file name or "TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH" for the include path. If it does not define these, then the define_trace.h defines them instead. If define trace defines them, then define_trace.h should also undefine them before exiting. To do this a macro is used to note this: #ifndef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE # define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE TRACE_SYSTEM # define UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE #endif [...] #ifdef UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE # undef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE # undef UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE #endif The UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE acts as a CPP variable to know to undef the TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE before leaving define_trace.h. Unfortunately, due to cut and paste errors, the macros between FILE and PATH got mixed up.

The events exported by TRACE_EVENT are automated and are guaranteed to be correct when used. The internal ftrace structures on the other hand are more manually exported. These require the ftrace maintainer to make sure they are up to date. This patch adds a size check to help flag when a type changes in an internal ftrace data structure, and the update needs to be reflected in the export. If a export is incorrect, then the only harm is that the user space tools will not know how to correctly read the internal structures of ftrace.

With the new event tracing registration, we must increase the number of events that can be registered. Currently the type field is only one byte, which leaves us only 256 possible events. Since we do not save the CPU number in the tracer anymore (it is determined by the per cpu ring buffer that is used) we have an extra byte to use. This patch increases the size of type from 1 byte (256 events) to 2 bytes (65,536 events). It also adds a WARN_ON_ONCE if we exceed that limit. [ Impact: allow more than 255 events ] Signed-off-by: -

The code had the following outside the lock: if (next != wakeup_task) return; pc = preempt_count(); /* The task we are waiting for is waking up */ data = wakeup_trace->data[wakeup_cpu]; On initialization, wakeup_task is NULL and wakeup_cpu -1. This code is not under a lock. If wakeup_task is set on another CPU as that task is waking up, we can see the wakeup_task before wakeup_cpu is set. If we read wakeup_cpu while it is still -1 then we will have a bad data pointer. This patch moves the reading of wakeup_cpu within the protection of the spinlock used to protect the writing of wakeup_cpu and wakeup_task.

[ Impact: protect lock tracer against module removal ] Signed-off-by: -

This patch provides the support for dynamic size strings on event tracing. The key concept is to use a structure with an ending char array field of undefined size and use such ability to allocate the minimal size on the ring buffer to make one or more string entries fit inside, as opposite to a fixed length strings with upper bound. The strings themselves are represented using fields which have an offset value from the beginning of the entry. This patch provides three new macros: __string(item, src) This one declares a string to the structure inside TP_STRUCT__entry. You need to provide the name of the string field and the source that will be copied inside. This will also add the dynamic size of the string needed for the ring buffer entry allocation. A stack allocated structure is used to temporarily store the offset of each strings, avoiding double calls to strlen() on each event insertion. __get_str(field) This one will give you a pointer to the string you have created. This is an abstract helper to resolve the absolute address given the field name which is a relative address from the beginning of the trace_structure. __assign_str(dst, src) Use this macro to automatically perform the string copy from src to dst. src must be a variable to assign and dst is the name of a __string field. Example on how to use it: TRACE_EVENT(my_event, TP_PROTO(char *src1, char *src2), TP_ARGS(src1, src2), TP_STRUCT__entry( __string(str1, src1) __string(str2, src2) ), TP_fast_assign( __assign_str(str1, src1); __assign_str(str2, src2); ), TP_printk("%s %s", __get_str(src1), __get_str(src2)) ) Of course you can mix-up any __field or __array inside this TRACE_EVENT. The position of the __string or __assign_str doesn't matter. Changes in v2: Address the suggestion of Steven Rostedt: drop the opening_string() macro and redefine __ending_string() to get the size of the string to be copied instead of overwritting the whole ring buffer allocation. Changes in v3: Address other suggestions of Steven Rostedt and Peter Zijlstra with some changes: drop the __ending_string and the need to have only one string field. Use offsets instead of absolute addresses. [ Impact: allow more compact memory usage for string tracing ] Signed-off-by: -

On boot up, to save memory, ftrace allocates the minimum buffer which is two pages. Ftrace also goes through a series of tests (when configured) on boot up. These tests can fill up a page within a single interrupt. The ring buffer also has a WARN_ON when it detects that the buffer was completely filled within a single commit (other commits are allowed to be nested). Combine the small buffer on start up, with the tests that can fill more than a single page within an interrupt, this can trigger the WARN_ON. This patch makes the WARN_ON only happen when the ring buffer consists of more than two pages. [ Impact: prevent false WARN_ON in ftrace startup tests ] Reported-by:

The startup tests for the event tracer also runs with the function tracer enabled. The "wakeup" version of the trace commit was used which can grab spinlocks. If a task was preempted by an NMI that called a function being traced, it could deadlock due to the function tracer trying to grab the same lock. Thanks to Frederic Weisbecker for pointing out where the bug was. Reported-by:

Althought using the irq level (hardirq_count, softirq_count and in_nmi) was nice to detect bad recursion right away, but since the counters are not atomically updated with respect to the interrupts, the function tracer might trigger the test from an interrupt handler before the hardirq_count is updated. This will trigger a false warning. This patch converts the recursive detection to a simple counter. If the depth is greater than 16 then the recursive detection will trigger. 16 is more than enough for any nested interrupts. [ Impact: fix false positive trace recursion detection ] Signed-off-by: -

The ring_buffer_event_discard is not tied to ring_buffer_lock_reserve. It can be called inside or outside the reserve/commit. Even if it is called inside the reserve/commit the commit part must also be called. Only ring_buffer_discard_commit can be used as a replacement for ring_buffer_unlock_commit.

Currently we have two configs: EVENT_TRACING and EVENT_TRACER. All tracers enable EVENT_TRACING. The EVENT_TRACER is only a convenience to enable the EVENT_TRACING when no other tracers are enabled. The names EVENT_TRACER and EVENT_TRACING are too similar and confusing. This patch renames EVENT_TRACER to ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING to be more appropriate to what it actually does, as well as add a comment in the help menu to explain the option's purpose.

This patch makes the branch profiling into a choice selection: None - no branch profiling likely/unlikely - only profile likely/unlikely branches all - profile all branches The all profiler will also enable the likely/unlikely branches. This does not change the way the profiler works or the dependencies between the profilers. What this patch does, is keep the branch profiling from being selected by an allyesconfig make. The branch profiler is very intrusive and it is known to break various architecture builds when selected as an allyesconfig.

The pair of helpers trace_recursive_lock() and trace_recursive_unlock() have been introduced recently to provide generic tracing recursion protection. They are used in a symetric way: - trace_recursive_lock() on buffer reserve - trace_recursive_unlock() on buffer commit However sometimes, we don't commit but discard on entry to the buffer, ie: in case of filter checking. Then we must also unlock the recursion protection on discard time, otherwise the tracing gets definitely deactivated and a warning is raised spuriously, such as: 111.119821] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 111.119829] WARNING: at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1498 ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1b7/0x1d0() [ 111.119835] Hardware name: AMILO Li 2727 [ 111.119839] Modules linked in: [ 111.119846] Pid: 5731, comm: Xorg Tainted: G W 2.6.30-rc1 #69 [ 111.119851] Call Trace: [ 111.119863] [<ffffffff8025ce68>] warn_slowpath+0xd8/0x130 [ 111.119873] [<ffffffff8028a30f>] ? __lock_acquire+0x19f/0x1ae0 [ 111.119882] [<ffffffff8028a30f>] ? __lock_acquire+0x19f/0x1ae0 [ 111.119891] [<ffffffff802199b0>] ? native_sched_clock+0x20/0x70 [ 111.119899] [<ffffffff80286dee>] ? put_lock_stats+0xe/0x30 [ 111.119906] [<ffffffff80286eb8>] ? lock_release_holdtime+0xa8/0x150 [ 111.119913] [<ffffffff802c8ae7>] ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1b7/0x1d0 [ 111.119921] [<ffffffff802cd110>] trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x30/0x70 [ 111.119930] [<ffffffff802ce000>] trace_current_buffer_lock_reserve+0x20/0x30 [ 111.119939] [<ffffffff802474e8>] ftrace_raw_event_sched_switch+0x58/0x100 [ 111.119948] [<ffffffff808103b7>] __schedule+0x3a7/0x4cd [ 111.119957] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.119964] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.119971] [<ffffffff80810c08>] schedule+0x18/0x40 [ 111.119977] [<ffffffff80810e09>] preempt_schedule+0x39/0x60 [ 111.119985] [<ffffffff80813bd3>] _read_unlock+0x53/0x60 [ 111.119993] [<ffffffff807259d2>] sock_def_readable+0x72/0x80 [ 111.120002] [<ffffffff807ad5ed>] unix_stream_sendmsg+0x24d/0x3d0 [ 111.120011] [<ffffffff807219a3>] sock_aio_write+0x143/0x160 [ 111.120019] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120026] [<ffffffff80721860>] ? sock_aio_write+0x0/0x160 [ 111.120033] [<ffffffff80721860>] ? sock_aio_write+0x0/0x160 [ 111.120042] [<ffffffff8031c283>] do_sync_readv_writev+0xf3/0x140 [ 111.120049] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120057] [<ffffffff80276ff0>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [ 111.120067] [<ffffffff8045d489>] ? cap_file_permission+0x9/0x10 [ 111.120074] [<ffffffff8045c1e6>] ? security_file_permission+0x16/0x20 [ 111.120082] [<ffffffff8031cab4>] do_readv_writev+0xd4/0x1f0 [ 111.120089] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120097] [<ffffffff80211b56>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 111.120105] [<ffffffff8031cc18>] vfs_writev+0x48/0x70 [ 111.120111] [<ffffffff8031cd65>] sys_writev+0x55/0xc0 [ 111.120119] [<ffffffff80211e32>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 111.120125] ---[ end trace 15605f4e98d5ccb5 ]--- [ Impact: fix spurious warning triggering tracing shutdown ] Signed-off-by:

The tracing infrastructure allows for recursion. That is, an interrupt may interrupt the act of tracing an event, and that interrupt may very well perform its own trace. This is a recursive trace, and is fine to do. The problem arises when there is a bug, and the utility doing the trace calls something that recurses back into the tracer. This recursion is not caused by an external event like an interrupt, but by code that is not expected to recurse. The result could be a lockup. This patch adds a bitmask to the task structure that keeps track of the trace recursion. To find the interrupt depth, the following algorithm is used: level = hardirq_count() + softirq_count() + in_nmi; Here, level will be the depth of interrutps and softirqs, and even handles the nmi. Then the corresponding bit is set in the recursion bitmask. If the bit was already set, we know we had a recursion at the same level and we warn about it and fail the writing to the buffer. After the data has been committed to the buffer, we clear the bit. No atomics are needed. The only races are with interrupts and they reset the bitmask before returning anywy.

As events start to become popular, and the new way to add tracing infrastructure into ftrace, it is important to catch any problems that might happen with a mistake in the TRACE_EVENT macro. This patch introduces a startup self test on the registered trace events. Note, it can only do a generic test, any type of testing that needs more involement is needed to be implemented by the tracepoint creators. The test goes down one by one enabling a trace point and running some random tasks (random in the sense that I just made them up). Those tasks are creating threads, grabbing mutexes and spinlocks and using workqueues. After testing each event individually, it does the same test after enabling each system of trace points. Like sched, irq, lockdep. Then finally it enables all tracepoints and performs the tasks again. The output to the console on bootup will look like this when everything works: Running tests on trace events: Testing event kfree_skb: OK Testing event kmalloc: OK Testing event kmem_cache_alloc: OK Testing event kmalloc_node: OK Testing event kmem_cache_alloc_node: OK Testing event kfree: OK Testing event kmem_cache_free: OK Testing event irq_handler_exit: OK Testing event irq_handler_entry: OK Testing event softirq_entry: OK Testing event softirq_exit: OK Testing event lock_acquire: OK Testing event lock_release: OK Testing event sched_kthread_stop: OK Testing event sched_kthread_stop_ret: OK Testing event sched_wait_task: OK Testing event sched_wakeup: OK Testing event sched_wakeup_new: OK Testing event sched_switch: OK Testing event sched_migrate_task: OK Testing event sched_process_free: OK Testing event sched_process_exit: OK Testing event sched_process_wait: OK Testing event sched_process_fork: OK Testing event sched_signal_send: OK Running tests on trace event systems: Testing event system skb: OK Testing event system kmem: OK Testing event system irq: OK Testing event system lockdep: OK Testing event system sched: OK Running tests on all trace events: Testing all events: OK [ folded in: tracing: add #include <linux/delay.h> to fix build failure in test_work() This build failure occured on a few rare configs: kernel/trace/trace_events.c: In function ‘test_work’: kernel/trace/trace_events.c:975: error: implicit declaration of function ‘udelay’ kernel/trace/trace_events.c:980: error: implicit declaration of function ‘msleep’ delay.h is included in way too many other headers, hiding cases where new usage is added without header inclusion.

The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF. To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented the hooks as calls directly from the module code. After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes the use of the notify safe with ftrace. Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify any code. This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex. [ Impact: fix lock dependency bug, cleanup ] Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by:
