2025-02-21tracing: Fix memory leak when reading set_event fileAdrian Huang1-2/+9
kmemleak reports the following memory leak after reading set_event file: # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak unreferenced object 0xff110001234449e0 (size 16): comm "cat", pid 13645, jiffies 4294981880 hex dump (first 16 bytes): 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a8 71 e7 84 ff ff ff ff .........q...... backtrace (crc c43abbc): __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x3ca/0x4b0 s_start+0x72/0x2d0 seq_read_iter+0x265/0x1080 seq_read+0x2c9/0x420 vfs_read+0x166/0xc30 ksys_read+0xf4/0x1d0 do_syscall_64+0x79/0x150 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e The issue can be reproduced regardless of whether set_event is empty or not. Here is an example about the valid content of set_event. # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event sched:sched_process_fork sched:sched_switch sched:sched_wakeup *:*:mod:trace_events_sample The root cause is that s_next() returns NULL when nothing is found. This results in s_stop() attempting to free a NULL pointer because its parameter is NULL. Fix the issue by freeing the memory appropriately when s_next() fails to find anything.

2025-02-21ftrace: Correct preemption accounting for function tracing.Sebastian Andrzej Siewior1-4/+2
The function tracer should record the preemption level at the point when the function is invoked. If the tracing subsystem decrement the preemption counter it needs to correct this before feeding the data into the trace buffer. This was broken in the commit cited below while shifting the preempt-disabled section. Use tracing_gen_ctx_dec() which properly subtracts one from the preemption counter on a preemptible kernel.

2025-02-21fprobe: Fix accounting of when to unregister from function graphSteven Rostedt1-3/+3
When adding a new fprobe, it will update the function hash to the functions the fprobe is attached to and register with function graph to have it call the registered functions. The fprobe_graph_active variable keeps track of the number of fprobes that are using function graph. If two fprobes attach to the same function, it increments the fprobe_graph_active for each of them. But when they are removed, the first fprobe to be removed will see that the function it is attached to is also used by another fprobe and it will not remove that function from function_graph. The logic will skip decrementing the fprobe_graph_active variable. This causes the fprobe_graph_active variable to not go to zero when all fprobes are removed, and in doing so it does not unregister from function graph. As the fgraph ops hash will now be empty, and an empty filter hash means all functions are enabled, this triggers function graph to add a callback to the fprobe infrastructure for every function! # echo "f:myevent1 kernel_clone" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # echo "f:myevent2 kernel_clone%return" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions kernel_clone (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0024000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 # > /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions trace_initcall_start_cb (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 run_init_process (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 try_to_run_init_process (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 x86_pmu_show_pmu_cap (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 cleanup_rapl_pmus (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 uncore_free_pcibus_map (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 uncore_types_exit (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 uncore_pci_exit.part.0 (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 kvm_shutdown (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 vmx_dump_msrs (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 [..] # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions | wc -l 54702 If a fprobe is being removed and all its functions are also traced by other fprobes, still decrement the fprobe_graph_active counter.

2025-02-21fprobe: Always unregister fgraph function from opsSteven Rostedt1-4/+2
When the last fprobe is removed, it calls unregister_ftrace_graph() to remove the graph_ops from function graph. The issue is when it does so, it calls return before removing the function from its graph ops via ftrace_set_filter_ips(). This leaves the last function lingering in the fprobe's fgraph ops and if a probe is added it also enables that last function (even though the callback will just drop it, it does add unneeded overhead to make that call). # echo "f:myevent1 kernel_clone" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions kernel_clone (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc02f3000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 # echo "f:myevent2 schedule_timeout" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions kernel_clone (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc02f3000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 schedule_timeout (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc02f3000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 # > /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions # echo "f:myevent3 kmem_cache_free" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions kmem_cache_free (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0219000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 schedule_timeout (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0219000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 The above enabled a fprobe on kernel_clone, and then on schedule_timeout. The content of the enabled_functions shows the functions that have a callback attached to them. The fprobe attached to those functions properly. Then the fprobes were cleared, and enabled_functions was empty after that. But after adding a fprobe on kmem_cache_free, the enabled_functions shows that the schedule_timeout was attached again. This is because it was still left in the fprobe ops that is used to tell function graph what functions it wants callbacks from.

2025-02-21ftrace: Fix accounting of adding subops to a manager opsSteven Rostedt1-11/+22
Function graph uses a subops and manager ops mechanism to attach to ftrace. The manager ops connects to ftrace and the functions it connects to is defined by a list of subops that it manages. The function hash that defines what the above ops attaches to limits the functions to attach if the hash has any content. If the hash is empty, it means to trace all functions. The creation of the manager ops hash is done by iterating over all the subops hashes. If any of the subops hashes is empty, it means that the manager ops hash must trace all functions as well. The issue is in the creation of the manager ops. When a second subops is attached, a new hash is created by starting it as NULL and adding the subops one at a time. But the NULL ops is mistaken as an empty hash, and once an empty hash is found, it stops the loop of subops and just enables all functions. # echo "f:myevent1 kernel_clone" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions kernel_clone (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 # echo "f:myevent2 schedule_timeout" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions trace_initcall_start_cb (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 run_init_process (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 try_to_run_init_process (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 x86_pmu_show_pmu_cap (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 cleanup_rapl_pmus (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 uncore_free_pcibus_map (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 uncore_types_exit (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 uncore_pci_exit.part.0 (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 kvm_shutdown (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 vmx_dump_msrs (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 vmx_cleanup_l1d_flush (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 [..] Fix this by initializing the new hash to NULL and if the hash is NULL do not treat it as an empty hash but instead allocate by copying the content of the first sub ops.

2025-02-15ring-buffer: Update pages_touched to reflect persistent buffer contentSteven Rostedt1-0/+5
The pages_touched field represents the number of subbuffers in the ring buffer that have content that can be read. This is used in accounting of "dirty_pages" and "buffer_percent" to allow the user to wait for the buffer to be filled to a certain amount before it reads the buffer in blocking mode. The persistent buffer never updated this value so it was set to zero, and this accounting would take it as it had no content. This would cause user space to wait for content even though there's enough content in the ring buffer that satisfies the buffer_percent.

It is rather trivial to allow this, but for now just disable mmap() of instances that have their ring buffer from the reserve_mem option. If an mmap() is performed on a persistent buffer it will return -ENODEV just like it would if the .mmap field wasn't defined in the file_operations structure.

2025-02-14ring-buffer: Validate the persistent meta data subbuf arraySteven Rostedt1-2/+20
The meta data for a mapped ring buffer contains an array of indexes of all the subbuffers. The first entry is the reader page, and the rest of the entries lay out the order of the subbuffers in how the ring buffer link list is to be created. The validator currently makes sure that all the entries are within the range of 0 and nr_subbufs. But it does not check if there are any duplicates. While working on the ring buffer, I corrupted this array, where I added duplicates. The validator did not catch it and created the ring buffer link list on top of it. Luckily, the corruption was only that the reader page was also in the writer path and only presented corrupted data but did not crash the kernel. But if there were duplicates in the writer side, then it could corrupt the ring buffer link list and cause a crash. Create a bitmask array with the size of the number of subbuffers. Then clear it. When walking through the subbuf array checking to see if the entries are within the range, test if its bit is already set in the subbuf_mask. If it is, then there is duplicates and fail the validation. If not, set the corresponding bit and continue.

Currently if __tracing_resize_ring_buffer() returns an error, the tracing_resize_ringbuffer() returns -ENOMEM. But it may not be a memory issue that caused the function to fail. If the ring buffer is memory mapped, then the resizing of the ring buffer will be disabled. But if the user tries to resize the buffer, it will get an -ENOMEM returned, which is confusing because there is plenty of memory. The actual error returned was -EBUSY, which would make much more sense to the user.

2025-02-08fgraph: Fix set_graph_notrace with setting TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE_BITSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
The code was restructured where the function graph notrace code, that would not trace a function and all its children is done by setting a NOTRACE flag when the function that is not to be traced is hit.

2025-01-28treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicableJoel Granados2-2/+2
Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function. Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata. This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the proc_handlers. Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command: Spatch: virtual patch @ depends on !(file in "net") disable optional_qualifier @ identifier table_name != { watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, iwcm_ctl_table, ucma_ctl_table, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table }; @@ + const struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... }; sed: sed --in-place \ -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&uts_kern/" \ kernel/utsname_sysctl.c Reviewed-by: Song Liu <song@kernel.org> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> # for kernel/trace/ Reviewed-by: Martin K.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull rv and tools/rtla updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add a test suite to test the tool Add a small test suite that can be used to test rtla's basic features to at least have something to test when applying changes. - Automate manual steps in monitor creation While creating a new monitor in RV, besides generating code from dot2k, there are a few manual steps which can be tedious and error prone, like adding the tracepoints, makefile lines and kconfig, or selecting events that start the monitor in the initial state. Updates were made to try and automate as much as possible among those steps to make creating a new RV monitor much quicker. It is still requires to select proper tracepoints, this step is harder to automate in a general way and, in several cases, would still need user intervention. - Have rtla timerlat hist and top set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD flag Have both rtla-timerlat-hist and rtla-timerlat-top set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD to the proper value ("on" when running with -k, "off" when running with -u) every time the option is available instead of setting it only when running with -u. This prevents rtla timerlat -k from giving no results when NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set, either manually or by an abnormally exited earlier run of rtla timerlat -u. - Stop rtla timerlat on signal properly when overloaded There is an issue where if rtla is run on machines with a high number of CPUs (100+), timerlat can generate more samples than rtla is able to process via tracefs_iterate_raw_events. This is especially common when the interval is set to 100us (rteval and cyclictest default) as opposed to the rtla default of 1000us, but also happens with the rtla default. Currently, this leads to rtla hanging and having to be terminated with SIGTERM. SIGINT setting stop_tracing is not enough, since more and more events are coming and tracefs_iterate_raw_events never exits. To fix this: Stop the timerlat tracer on SIGINT/SIGALRM to ensure no more events are generated when rtla is supposed to exit. Also on receiving SIGINT/SIGALRM twice, abort iteration immediately with tracefs_iterate_stop, making rtla exit right away instead of waiting for all events to be processed. - Account for missed events Due to tracefs buffer overflow, it can happen that rtla misses events, making the tracing results inaccurate. Count both the number of missed events and the total number of processed events, and display missed events as well as their percentage. The numbers are displayed for both osnoise and timerlat, even though for the earlier, missed events are generally not expected. For hist, the number is displayed at the end of the run; for top, it is displayed on each printing of the top table. - Changes to make osnoise more robust There was a dependency in the code that the first field of the osnoise_tool structure was the trace field. If that that ever changed, then the code work break. Change the code to encapsulate this dependency where the code that uses the structure does not have this dependency. * tag 'trace-tools-v6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (22 commits) rtla: Report missed event count rtla: Add function to report missed events rtla: Count all processed events rtla: Count missed trace events tools/rtla: Add osnoise_trace_is_off() rtla/timerlat_top: Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD for kernel threads rtla/timerlat_hist: Set OSNOISE_WORKLOAD for kernel threads rtla/osnoise: Distinguish missing workload option rtla/timerlat_top: Abort event processing on second signal rtla/timerlat_hist: Abort event processing on second signal rtla/timerlat_top: Stop timerlat tracer on signal rtla/timerlat_hist: Stop timerlat tracer on signal rtla: Add trace_instance_stop tools/rtla: Add basic test suite verification/dot2k: Implement event type detection verification/dot2k: Auto patch current kernel source verification/dot2k: Simplify manual steps in monitor creation rv: Simplify manual steps in monitor creation verification/dot2k: Add support for name and description options verification/dot2k: More robust template variables ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull runtime verifier and osnoise fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Reset idle tasks on reset for runtime verifier When the runtime verifier is reset, it resets the task's data that is being monitored. But it only iterates for_each_process() which does not include the idle tasks. As the idle tasks can be monitored, they need to be reset as well. - Fix the enabling and disabling of tracepoints in osnoise If timerlat is enabled and the WORKLOAD flag is not set, then the osnoise tracer will enable the migrate task tracepoint to monitor it for its own workload. The test to enable the tracepoint is done against user space modifiable parameters. On disabling of the tracer, those same parameters are used to determine if the tracepoint should be disabled. The problem is if user space were to modify the parameters after it enables the tracer then it may not disable the tracepoint. Instead, a static variable is used to keep track if the tracepoint was enabled or not. Then when the tracer shuts down, it will use this variable to decide to disable the tracepoint or not, instead of looking at the user space parameters. * tag 'trace-rv-v6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing/osnoise: Fix resetting of tracepoints rv: Reset per-task monitors also for idle tasks

If a timerlat tracer is started with the osnoise option OSNOISE_WORKLOAD disabled, but then that option is enabled and timerlat is removed, the tracepoints that were enabled on timerlat registration do not get disabled. If the option is disabled again and timelat is started, then it triggers a warning in the tracepoint code due to registering the tracepoint again without ever disabling it. Do not use the same user space defined options to know to disable the tracepoints when timerlat is removed. Instead, set a global flag when it is enabled and use that flag to know to disable the events. ~# echo NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options ~# echo timerlat > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer ~# echo OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options ~# echo nop > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer ~# echo NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD > /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/options ~# echo timerlat > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer Triggers: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 1337 at kernel/tracepoint.c:294 tracepoint_add_func+0x3b6/0x3f0 Modules linked in: CPU: 6 UID: 0 PID: 1337 Comm: rtla Not tainted 6.13.0-rc4-test-00018-ga867c441128e-dirty #73 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:tracepoint_add_func+0x3b6/0x3f0 Code: 48 8b 53 28 48 8b 73 20 4c 89 04 24 e8 23 59 11 00 4c 8b 04 24 e9 36 fe ff ff 0f 0b b8 ea ff ff ff 45 84 e4 0f 84 68 fe ff ff <0f> 0b e9 61 fe ff ff 48 8b 7b 18 48 85 ff 0f 84 4f ff ff ff 49 8b RSP: 0018:ffffb9b003a87ca0 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 00000000ffffffef RBX: ffffffff92f30860 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffff9bf59e91ccd0 RDI: ffffffff913b6410 RBP: 000000000000000a R08: 00000000000005c7 R09: 0000000000000002 R10: ffffb9b003a87ce0 R11: 0000000000000002 R12: 0000000000000001 R13: ffffb9b003a87ce0 R14: ffffffffffffffef R15: 0000000000000008 FS: 00007fce81209240(0000) GS:ffff9bf6fdd00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 000055e99b728000 CR3: 00000001277c0002 CR4: 0000000000172ef0 Call Trace: <TASK> ? __warn.cold+0xb7/0x14d ? tracepoint_add_func+0x3b6/0x3f0 ? report_bug+0xea/0x170 ? handle_bug+0x58/0x90 ? exc_invalid_op+0x17/0x70 ? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x1a/0x20 ? __pfx_trace_sched_migrate_callback+0x10/0x10 ? tracepoint_add_func+0x3b6/0x3f0 ? __pfx_trace_sched_migrate_callback+0x10/0x10 ? __pfx_trace_sched_migrate_callback+0x10/0x10 tracepoint_probe_register+0x78/0xb0 ? __pfx_trace_sched_migrate_callback+0x10/0x10 osnoise_workload_start+0x2b5/0x370 timerlat_tracer_init+0x76/0x1b0 tracing_set_tracer+0x244/0x400 tracing_set_trace_write+0xa0/0xe0 vfs_write+0xfc/0x570 ? do_sys_openat2+0x9c/0xe0 ksys_write+0x72/0xf0 do_syscall_64+0x79/0x1c0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Tomas Glozar <tglozar@redhat.com> Cc: Gabriele Monaco <gmonaco@redhat.com> Cc: Luis Goncalves <lgoncalv@redhat.com> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250123204159.4450c88e@gandalf.local.home Fixes: e88ed227f639e ("tracing/timerlat: Add user-space interface") Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull trace fing buffer fix from Steven Rostedt: "Fix atomic64 operations on some architectures for the tracing ring buffer: - Have emulating atomic64 use arch_spin_locks instead of raw_spin_locks The tracing ring buffer events have a small timestamp that holds the delta between itself and the event before it. But this can be tricky to update when interrupts come in. It originally just set the deltas to zero for events that interrupted the adding of another event which made all the events in the interrupt have the same timestamp as the event it interrupted. This was not suitable for many tools, so it was eventually fixed. But that fix required adding an atomic64 cmpxchg on the timestamp in cases where an event was added while another event was in the process of being added. Originally, for 32 bit architectures, the manipulation of the 64 bit timestamp was done by a structure that held multiple 32bit words to hold parts of the timestamp and a counter. But as updates to the ring buffer were done, maintaining this became too complex and was replaced by the atomic64 generic operations which are now used by both 64bit and 32bit architectures. Shortly after that, it was reported that riscv32 and other 32 bit architectures that just used the generic atomic64 were locking up. This was because the generic atomic64 operations defined in lib/atomic64.c uses a raw_spin_lock() to emulate an atomic64 operation. The problem here was that raw_spin_lock() can also be traced by the function tracer (which is commonly used for debugging raw spin locks). Since the function tracer uses the tracing ring buffer, which now is being traced internally, this was triggering a recursion and setting off a warning that the spin locks were recusing. There's no reason for the code that emulates atomic64 operations to be using raw_spin_locks which have a lot of debugging infrastructure attached to them (depending on the config options). Instead it should be using the arch_spin_lock() which does not have any infrastructure attached to them and is used by low level infrastructure like RCU locks, lockdep and of course tracing. Using arch_spin_lock()s fixes this issue. - Do not trace in NMI if the architecture uses emulated atomic64 operations Another issue with using the emulated atomic64 operations that uses spin locks to emulate the atomic64 operations is that they cannot be used in NMI context. As an NMI can trigger while holding the atomic64 spin locks it can try to take the same lock and cause a deadlock. Have the ring buffer fail recording events if in NMI context and the architecture uses the emulated atomic64 operations" * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.14-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: atomic64: Use arch_spin_locks instead of raw_spin_locks ring-buffer: Do not allow events in NMI with generic atomic64 cmpxchg()

But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for both algorithms to use the same logic in one place. - Add poll to trace event hist files It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know that the event it is waiting for happened. - Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature. Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event, then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded. This also works from the kernel command line, where "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up, its events will be enabled then. * tag 'trace-v6.14-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) tracing: Fix output of set_event for some cached module events tracing: Fix allocation of printing set_event file content tracing: Rename update_cache() to update_mod_cache() tracing: Fix #if CONFIG_MODULES to #ifdef CONFIG_MODULES selftests/ftrace: Add test that tests event :mod: commands tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yet tracing: Add :mod: command to enabled module events selftests/tracing: Add hist poll() support test tracing/hist: Support POLLPRI event for poll on histogram tracing/hist: Add poll(POLLIN) support on hist file tracing: Fix using ret variable in tracing_set_tracer() tracepoint: Reduce duplication of __DO_TRACE_CALL tracing/string: Create and use __free(argv_free) in trace_dynevent.c tracing: Switch trace_stat.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_stack.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_osnoise.c code over to use guard() and __free() tracing: Switch trace_events_synth.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_filter.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_trigger.c code over to use guard() tracing: Switch trace_events_hist.c code over to use guard() ...

2025-01-21fgraph: Remove calltime and rettime from generic operationsSteven Rostedt6-24/+33
The function graph infrastructure is now generic so that kretprobes, fprobes and BPF can use it. But there is still some leftover logic that only the function graph tracer itself uses. This is the calculation of the calltime and return time of the functions. The calculation of the calltime has been moved into the function graph tracer and those users that need it so that it doesn't cause overhead to the other users. But the return function timestamp was still called. Instead of just moving the taking of the timestamp into the function graph trace remove the calltime and rettime completely from the ftrace_graph_ret structure. Instead, move it into the function graph return entry event structure and this also moves all the calltime and rettime logic out of the generic fgraph.c code and into the tracing code that uses it. This has been reported to decrease the overhead by ~27%.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function. The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this method does not scale. The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started, every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex. - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This greatly improves its performance. - Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the kernel command line. The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature. Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up (before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the kernel command line function filtering to allow it. * tag 'ftrace-v6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) ftrace: Implement :mod: cache filtering on kernel command line tracing: Adopt __free() and guard() for trace_fprobe.c bpf: Use ftrace_get_symaddr() for kprobe_multi probes ftrace: Add ftrace_get_symaddr to convert fentry_ip to symaddr Documentation: probes: Update fprobe on function-graph tracer selftests/ftrace: Add a test case for repeating register/unregister fprobe selftests: ftrace: Remove obsolate maxactive syntax check tracing/fprobe: Remove nr_maxactive from fprobe fprobe: Add fprobe_header encoding feature fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracer s390/tracing: Enable HAVE_FTRACE_GRAPH_FUNC ftrace: Add CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_GRAPH_FUNC bpf: Enable kprobe_multi feature if CONFIG_FPROBE is enabled tracing/fprobe: Enable fprobe events with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS tracing: Add ftrace_fill_perf_regs() for perf event tracing: Add ftrace_partial_regs() for converting ftrace_regs to pt_regs fprobe: Use ftrace_regs in fprobe exit handler fprobe: Use ftrace_regs in fprobe entry handler fgraph: Pass ftrace_regs to retfunc fgraph: Replace fgraph_ret_regs with ftrace_regs ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull trace ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - Clean up the __rb_map_vma() logic The logic of __rb_map_vma() has a error check with WARN_ON() that makes sure that the index does not go past the end of the array of buffers. The test in the loop pretty much guarantees that it will never happen, but since the relation of the variables used is a little complex, the WARN_ON() check was added. It was noticed that the array was dereferenced before this check and if the logic does break and for some reason the logic goes past the array, there will be an out of bounds access here. Move the access to after the WARN_ON(). - Consolidate how the ring buffer is determined to be empty Currently there's two ways that are used to determine if the ring buffer is empty. One relies on the status of the commit and reader pages and what was read, and the other is on what was written vs what was read. By using the number of entries (written) method, it can be used for reading events that are out of the kernel's control (what pKVM will use). Move to this method to make it easier to implement a pKVM ring buffer that the kernel can read. * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Make reading page consistent with the code logic ring-buffer: Check for empty ring-buffer with rb_num_of_entries()

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull pid_max namespacing update from Christian Brauner: "The pid_max sysctl is a global value. For a long time the default value has been 65535 and during the pidfd dicussions Linus proposed to bump pid_max by default. Based on this discussion systemd started bumping pid_max to 2^22. So all new systems now run with a very high pid_max limit with some distros having also backported that change. The decision to bump pid_max is obviously correct. It just doesn't make a lot of sense nowadays to enforce such a low pid number. There's sufficient tooling to make selecting specific processes without typing really large pid numbers available. In any case, there are workloads that have expections about how large pid numbers they accept. Either for historical reasons or architectural reasons. One concreate example is the 32-bit version of Android's bionic libc which requires pid numbers less than 65536. There are workloads where it is run in a 32-bit container on a 64-bit kernel. If the host has a pid_max value greater than 65535 the libc will abort thread creation because of size assumptions of pthread_mutex_t. That's a fairly specific use-case however, in general specific workloads that are moved into containers running on a host with a new kernel and a new systemd can run into issues with large pid_max values. Obviously making assumptions about the size of the allocated pid is suboptimal but we have userspace that does it. Of course, giving containers the ability to restrict the number of processes in their respective pid namespace indepent of the global limit through pid_max is something desirable in itself and comes in handy in general. Independent of motivating use-cases the existence of pid namespaces makes this also a good semantical extension and there have been prior proposals pushing in a similar direction. The trick here is to minimize the risk of regressions which I think is doable. The fact that pid namespaces are hierarchical will help us here. What we mostly care about is that when the host sets a low pid_max limit, say (crazy number) 100 that no descendant pid namespace can allocate a higher pid number in its namespace. Since pid allocation is hierarchial this can be ensured by checking each pid allocation against the pid namespace's pid_max limit. This means if the allocation in the descendant pid namespace succeeds, the ancestor pid namespace can reject it. If the ancestor pid namespace has a higher limit than the descendant pid namespace the descendant pid namespace will reject the pid allocation. The ancestor pid namespace will obviously not care about this. All in all this means pid_max continues to enforce a system wide limit on the number of processes but allows pid namespaces sufficient leeway in handling workloads with assumptions about pid values and allows containers to restrict the number of processes in a pid namespace through the pid_max interface" * tag 'kernel-6.14-rc1.pid' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: tests/pid_namespace: add pid_max tests pid: allow pid_max to be set per pid namespace

2025-01-16ftrace: Implement :mod: cache filtering on kernel command lineSteven Rostedt3-9/+68
Module functions can be set to set_ftrace_filter before the module is loaded. # echo :mod:snd_hda_intel > set_ftrace_filter This will enable all the functions for the module snd_hda_intel. If that module is not loaded, it is "cached" in the trace array for when the module is loaded, its functions will be traced. But this is not implemented in the kernel command line. That's because the kernel command line filtering is added very early in boot up as it is needed to be done before boot time function tracing can start, which is also available very early in boot up. The code used by the "set_ftrace_filter" file can not be used that early as it depends on some other initialization to occur first. But some of the functions can. Implement the ":mod:" feature of "set_ftrace_filter" in the kernel command line parsing. Now function tracing on just a single module that is loaded at boot up can be done. Adding: ftrace=function ftrace_filter=:mod:sna_hda_intel To the kernel command line will only enable the sna_hda_intel module functions when the module is loaded, and it will start tracing.

When the :mod: command is written into /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event (or that file within an instance), if the module specified after the ":mod:" is not yet loaded, it will store that string internally. When the module is loaded, it will enable the events as if the module was loaded when the string was written into the set_event file. This can also be useful to enable events that are in the init section of the module, as the events are enabled before the init section is executed.

2025-01-14tracing: Fix irqsoff and wakeup latency tracers when using function graphSteven Rostedt2-0/+28
The function graph tracer has become generic so that kretprobes and BPF can use it along with function graph tracing itself. Some of the infrastructure was specific for function graph tracing such as recording the calltime and return time of the functions. Calling the clock code on a high volume function does add overhead. The calculation of the calltime was removed from the generic code and placed into the function graph tracer itself so that the other users did not incur this overhead as they did not need that timestamp. The calltime field was still kept in the generic return entry structure and the function graph return entry callback filled it as that structure was passed to other code. But this broke both irqsoff and wakeup latency tracer as they still depended on the trace structure containing the calltime when the option display-graph is set as it used some of those same functions that the function graph tracer used. But now the calltime was not set and was just zero. This caused the calculation of the function time to be the absolute value of the return timestamp and not the length of the function. # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 1 > options/display-graph # echo irqsoff > current_tracer The tracers went from: # REL TIME CPU TASK/PID |||| DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | |||| | | | | | | 0 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d..1. | 0.000 us | irqentry_enter(); 3 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d..2. | | irq_enter_rcu() { 4 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d..2. | 0.431 us | preempt_count_add(); 5 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | | tick_irq_enter() { 5 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | 0.433 us | tick_check_oneshot_broadcast_this_cpu(); 6 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | 2.426 us | ktime_get(); 9 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | | tick_nohz_stop_idle() { 10 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | 0.398 us | nr_iowait_cpu(); 11 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h1. | 1.903 us | } 11 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | | tick_do_update_jiffies64() { 12 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | | _raw_spin_lock() { 12 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | 0.360 us | preempt_count_add(); 13 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h3. | 0.354 us | do_raw_spin_lock(); 14 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | 2.207 us | } 15 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h3. | 0.428 us | calc_global_load(); 16 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h3. | | _raw_spin_unlock() { 16 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h3. | 0.380 us | do_raw_spin_unlock(); 17 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h3. | 0.334 us | preempt_count_sub(); 18 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h1. | 1.768 us | } 18 us | 4) <idle>-0 | d.h2. | | update_wall_time() { [..] To: # REL TIME CPU TASK/PID |||| DURATION FUNCTION CALLS # | | | | |||| | | | | | | 0 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s2. | 0.000 us | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave(); 0 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s3. | 312159583 us | preempt_count_add(); 2 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | 312159585 us | do_raw_spin_lock(); 3 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | | _raw_spin_unlock() { 3 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | 312159586 us | do_raw_spin_unlock(); 4 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | 312159587 us | preempt_count_sub(); 4 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s2. | 312159587 us | } 5 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s3. | | _raw_spin_lock() { 5 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s3. | 312159588 us | preempt_count_add(); 6 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | 312159589 us | do_raw_spin_lock(); 7 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s3. | 312159590 us | } 8 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | 312159591 us | calc_wheel_index(); 9 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | | enqueue_timer() { 9 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | | wake_up_nohz_cpu() { 11 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | | native_smp_send_reschedule() { 11 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s4. | 312171987 us | default_send_IPI_single_phys(); 12408 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s3. | 312171990 us | } 12408 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s3. | 312171991 us | } 12409 us | 5) <idle>-0 | d.s3. | 312171991 us | } Where the calculation of the time for each function was the return time minus zero and not the time of when the function returned.

2025-01-13ring-buffer: Make reading page consistent with the code logicJeongjun Park1-1/+3
In the loop of __rb_map_vma(), the 's' variable is calculated from the same logic that nr_pages is and they both come from nr_subbufs. But the relationship is not obvious and there's a WARN_ON_ONCE() around the 's' variable to make sure it never becomes equal to nr_subbufs within the loop. If that happens, then the code is buggy and needs to be fixed. The 'page' variable is calculated from cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids[s] which is an array of 'nr_subbufs' entries. If the code becomes buggy and 's' becomes equal to or greater than 'nr_subbufs' then this will be an out of bounds hit before the WARN_ON() is triggered and the code exiting safely. Make the 'page' initialization consistent with the code logic and assign it after the out of bounds check.

2025-01-13ring-buffer: Check for empty ring-buffer with rb_num_of_entries()Vincent Donnefort1-45/+14
Currently there are two ways of identifying an empty ring-buffer. One relying on the current status of the commit / reader page (rb_per_cpu_empty()) and the other on the write and read counters (rb_num_of_entries() used in rb_get_reader_page()). with rb_num_of_entries(). This intends to ease later introduction of ring-buffer writers which are out of the kernel control and with whom, the only information available is through the meta-page counters.

2025-01-08bpf: Return error for missed kprobe multi bpf program executionJiri Olsa1-1/+1
When kprobe multi bpf program can't be executed due to recursion check, we currently return 0 (success) to fprobe layer where it's ignored for standard kprobe multi probes. For kprobe session the success return value will make fprobe layer to install return probe and try to execute it as well. But the return session probe should not get executed, because the entry part did not run. FWIW the return probe bpf program most likely won't get executed, because its recursion check will likely fail as well, but we don't need to run it in the first place.. also we can make this clear and obvious. It also affects missed counts for kprobe session program execution, which are now doubled (extra count for not executed return probe).
