The tracing histogram code contains a lot of instances of the construct: strncmp(str, "const", sizeof("const") - 1) This can be prone to bugs due to typos or bad cut and paste. Use the str_has_prefix() helper macro instead that removes the need for having two copies of the constant string.

A discussion came up in the trace triggers thread about converting a bunch of: strncmp(str, "const", sizeof("const") - 1) use cases into a helper macro. It started with: strncmp(str, const, sizeof(const) - 1) But then Joe Perches mentioned that if a const is not used, the sizeof() will be the size of a pointer, which can be bad. And that gcc will optimize strlen("const") into "sizeof("const") - 1". Thinking about this more, a quick grep in the kernel tree found several (thousands!) of cases that use this construct. A quick grep also revealed that there's probably several bugs in that use case. Some are that people forgot the "- 1" (which I found) and others could be that the constant for the sizeof is different than the constant (although, I haven't found any of those, but I also didn't look hard). I figured the best thing to do is to create a helper macro and place it into include/linux/string.h. And go around and fix all the open coded versions of it later. Note, gcc appears to optimize this when we make it into an always_inline static function, which removes a lot of issues that a macro produces.

trace_seq_printf(..., "%s", ...) can be done with trace_seq_puts() instead, avoiding printf overhead. In the second instance, the string we're copying was just created from an snprintf() to a stack buffer, so we might as well do that printf directly. This naturally leads to moving the declaration of the str buffer inside the CONFIG_KALLSYMS guard, which in turn will make gcc inline the function for !CONFIG_KALLSYMS (it only has a single caller, but the huge stack frame seems to make gcc not inline it for CONFIG_KALLSYMS).

Since every var ref for a trigger has an entry in the var_ref[] array, use that to destroy the var_refs, instead of piecemeal via the field expressions. This allows us to avoid having to keep and treat differently separate lists for the action-related references, which future patches will remove.

Have create_var_ref() manage the hist trigger's var_ref list, rather than having similar code doing it in multiple places. This cleans up the code and makes sure var_refs are always accounted properly. Also, document the var_ref-related functions to make what their purpose clearer.

Since all the variable reference hist_fields are collected into hist_data->var_refs[] array, there's no need to go through all the fields looking for them, or in separate arrays like synth_var_refs[], which will be going away soon anyway. This also allows us to get rid of some unnecessary code and functions currently used for the same purpose. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1545246556.4239.7.camel@gmail.comAcked-by:

The function ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() takes a task struct descriptor but uses current as the task to perform the operations on. In pretty much all cases the task decriptor is the same as current, so this wasn't an issue. But there is a case in the ARM architecture that passes in a task that is not current, and expects a result from that task, and this code breaks it.

Jann Horn points out that we're using unsigned int for len in seq_buf_puts(), which could potentially overflow if we're passed a UINT_MAX sized string. The rest of the code already uses size_t, so we should also use that in seq_buf_puts() to avoid any issues. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181019042109.8064-2-mpe@ellerman.id.auSuggested-by:

Currently seq_buf_puts() will happily create a non null-terminated string for you in the buffer. This is particularly dangerous if the buffer is on the stack. For example: char buf[8]; char secret = "secret"; struct seq_buf s; seq_buf_init(&s, buf, sizeof(buf)); seq_buf_puts(&s, "foo"); printk("Message is %s\n", buf); Can result in: Message is fooªªªªªsecret We could require all users to memset() their buffer to zero before use. But that seems likely to be forgotten and lead to bugs. Instead we can change seq_buf_puts() to always leave the buffer in a null-terminated state. The only downside is that this makes the buffer 1 character smaller for seq_buf_puts(), but that seems like a good trade off.

Since commit 79922b80 ("ftrace: Optimize function graph to be called directly"), dynamic trampolines should not be calling the function graph tracer at the end. If they do, it could cause the function graph tracer to trace functions that it filtered out. Right now it does not cause a problem because there's a test to check if the function graph tracer is attached to the same function as the function tracer, which for now is true. But the function graph tracer is undergoing changes that can make this no longer true which will cause the function graph tracer to trace other functions. For example: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # echo do_IRQ > set_ftrace_filter # mkdir instances/foo # echo ip_rcv > instances/foo/set_ftrace_filter # echo function_graph > current_tracer # echo function > instances/foo/current_tracer Would cause the function graph tracer to trace both do_IRQ and ip_rcv, if the current tests change. As the current tests prevent this from being a problem, this code does not need to be backported. But it does make the code cleaner.

The ret_stack should not be accessed directly via the curr_ret_stack variable on the task_struct. This is because the ret_stack is going to be converted into a series of longs and not an array of ret_stack structures. The way that a ret_stack should be retrieved is via the ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack structure, but it needs to be documented on how to use it. Signed-off-by: -

It has been reported that ftrace_replace_code() which is called by ftrace_modify_all_code() can cause a soft lockup warning for an allmodconfig kernel. This is because all the debug options enabled causes the loop in ftrace_replace_code() (which loops over all the functions being enabled where there can be 10s of thousands), is too slow, and never schedules out. To solve this, setting FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP to the command passed into ftrace_replace_code() will make it call cond_resched() in the loop, which prevents the soft lockup warning from triggering.

The function ftrace_replace_code() is the ftrace engine that does the work to modify all the nops into the calls to the function callback in all the functions being traced. The generic version which is normally called from stop machine, but an architecture can implement a non stop machine version and still use the generic ftrace_replace_code(). When an architecture does this, ftrace_replace_code() may be called from a schedulable context, where it can allow the code to be preemptible, and schedule out. In order to allow an architecture to make ftrace_replace_code() schedulable, a new command flag is added called: FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP Which can be or'd to the command that is passed to ftrace_modify_all_code() that calls ftrace_replace_code() and will have it call cond_resched() in the loop that modifies the nops into the calls to the ftrace trampolines.

Add a generic method to remove event from dynamic event list. This is same as other system under ftrace. You just need to pass the event name with '!', e.g. # echo p:new_grp/new_event _do_fork > dynamic_events This creates an event, and # echo '!p:new_grp/new_event _do_fork' > dynamic_events Or, # echo '!p:new_grp/new_event' > dynamic_events will remove new_grp/new_event event. Note that this doesn't check the event prefix (e.g. "p:") strictly, because the "group/event" name must be unique.

Rmove unneeded synth_event_mutex. This mutex protects the reference count in synth_event, however, those operational points are already protected by event_mutex. 1. In __create_synth_event() and create_or_delete_synth_event(), those synth_event_mutex clearly obtained right after event_mutex. 2. event_hist_trigger_func() is trigger_hist_cmd.func() which is called by trigger_process_regex(), which is a part of event_trigger_regex_write() and this function takes event_mutex. 3. hist_unreg_all() is trigger_hist_cmd.unreg_all() which is called by event_trigger_regex_open() and it takes event_mutex. 4. onmatch_destroy() and onmatch_create() have long call tree, but both are finally invoked from event_trigger_regex_write() and event_trace_del_tracer(), former takes event_mutex, and latter ensures called under event_mutex locked. Finally, I ensured there is no resource conflict. For safety, I added lockdep_assert_held(&event_mutex) for each function.

Since the event_mutex and synth_event_mutex ordering issue is gone, we can skip existing event check when adding or deleting events, and some redundant code in error path.

synthetic event is using synth_event_mutex for protecting synth_event_list, and event_trigger_write() path acquires locks as below order. event_trigger_write(event_mutex) ->trigger_process_regex(trigger_cmd_mutex) ->event_hist_trigger_func(synth_event_mutex) On the other hand, synthetic event creation and deletion paths call trace_add_event_call() and trace_remove_event_call() which acquires event_mutex. In that case, if we keep the synth_event_mutex locked while registering/unregistering synthetic events, its dependency will be inversed. To avoid this issue, current synthetic event is using a 2 phase process to create/delete events. For example, it searches existing events under synth_event_mutex to check for event-name conflicts, and unlocks synth_event_mutex, then registers a new event under event_mutex locked. Finally, it locks synth_event_mutex and tries to add the new event to the list. But it can introduce complexity and a chance for name conflicts. To solve this simpler, this introduces trace_add_event_call_nolock() and trace_remove_event_call_nolock() which don't acquire event_mutex inside. synthetic event can lock event_mutex before synth_event_mutex to solve the lock dependency issue simpler.

Add a busy check loop in cleanup_all_probes() before trying to remove all events in uprobe_events, the same way that kprobe_events does. Without this change, writing null to uprobe_events will try to remove events but if one of them is enabled, it will stop there leaving some events cleared and others not clceared. With this change, writing null to uprobe_events makes sure all events are not enabled before removing events. So, it clears all events, or returns an error (-EBUSY) with keeping all events.
