      ftrace/x86: Show trampoline call function in enabled_functions · 15d5b02c
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      The file /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/eneabled_functions is used to debug
      ftrace function hooks. Add to the output what function is being called
      by the trampoline if the arch supports it.
      
      Add support for this feature in x86_64.

      ftrace/x86: Add dynamic allocated trampoline for ftrace_ops · f3bea491
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      The current method of handling multiple function callbacks is to register
      a list function callback that calls all the other callbacks based on
      their hash tables and compare it to the function that the callback was
      called on. But this is very inefficient.
      
      For example, if you are tracing all functions in the kernel and then
      add a kprobe to a function such that the kprobe uses ftrace, the
      mcount trampoline will switch from calling the function trace callback
      to calling the list callback that will iterate over all registered
      ftrace_ops (in this case, the function tracer and the kprobes callback).
      That means for every function being traced it checks the hash of the
      ftrace_ops for function tracing and kprobes, even though the kprobes
      is only set at a single function. The kprobes ftrace_ops is checked
      for every function being traced!
      
      Instead of calling the list function for functions that are only being
      traced by a single callback, we can call a dynamically allocated
      trampoline that calls the callback directly. The function graph tracer
      already uses a direct call trampoline when it is being traced by itself
      but it is not dynamically allocated. It's trampoline is static in the
      kernel core. The infrastructure that called the function graph trampoline
      can also be used to call a dynamically allocated one.
      
      For now, only ftrace_ops that are not dynamically allocated can have
      a trampoline. That is, users such as function tracer or stack tracer.
      kprobes and perf allocate their ftrace_ops, and until there's a safe
      way to free the trampoline, it can not be used. The dynamically allocated
      ftrace_ops may, although, use the trampoline if the kernel is not
      compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT. But that will come later.

      ftrace: Fix checking of trampoline ftrace_ops in finding trampoline · 4fc40904
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      When modifying code, ftrace has several checks to make sure things
      are being done correctly. One of them is to make sure any code it
      modifies is exactly what it expects it to be before it modifies it.
      In order to do so with the new trampoline logic, it must be able
      to find out what trampoline a function is hooked to in order to
      see if the code that hooks to it is what's expected.
      
      The logic to find the trampoline from a record (accounting descriptor
      for a function that is hooked) needs to only look at the "old_hash"
      of an ops that is being modified. The old_hash is the list of function
      an ops is hooked to before its update. Since a record would only be
      pointing to an ops that is being modified if it was already hooked
      before.
      
      Currently, it can pick a modified ops based on its new functions it
      will be hooked to, and this picks the wrong trampoline and causes
      the check to fail, disabling ftrace.

      ftrace: Set ops->old_hash on modifying what an ops hooks to · 8252ecf3
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored
      The code that checks for trampolines when modifying function hooks
      tests against a modified ops "old_hash". But the ops old_hash pointer
      is not being updated before the changes are made, making it possible
      to not find the right hash to the callback and possibly causing
      ftrace to break in accounting and disable itself.
      
      Have the ops set its old_hash before the modifying takes place.

       "A batch of fixes that have come in during the merge window.
      
        Some of them are defconfig updates for things that have now landed,

        There's also a qcom DT update that adds support for SATA on AP148, and
        basic support for Sony Xperia Z1 and CM-QS600 platforms that seemed
        isolated enough that we could merge it even if it's late"

      Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
       "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
        problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
        hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
        took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
        part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
        of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
        syscall...
      
        For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
        So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
        there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
        seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
        a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
        syscall entry.
      
        The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
        records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
        field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
        static.  Really minor stuff"
