tracing: Have persistent trace instances save KASLR offset
There's no reason to save the KASLR offset for the ring buffer itself. That is used by the tracer. Now that the tracer has a way to save data in the persistent memory of the ring buffer, have the tracing infrastructure take care of the saving of the KASLR offset.

ring-buffer: Add ring_buffer_meta_scratch()
Now that there's one meta data at the start of the persistent memory used by the ring buffer, allow the caller to request some memory right after that data that it can use as its own persistent memory. Also fix some white space issues with ring_buffer_alloc().

ring-buffer: Use kaslr address instead of text delta
Instead of saving off the text and data pointers and using them to compare with the current boot's text and data pointers, just save off the KASLR offset. Then that can be used to figure out how to read the previous boots buffer. The last_boot_info will now show this offset, but only if it is for a previous boot: ~# cat instances/boot_mapped/last_boot_info 39000000 [kernel] ~# echo function > instances/boot_mapped/current_tracer ~# cat instances/boot_mapped/last_boot_info # Current If the KASLR offset saved is for the current boot, the last_boot_info will show the value of "current".

tracing updates for v6.15:
- Add option traceoff_after_boot In order to debug kernel boot, it sometimes is helpful to enable tracing via the kernel command line. Unfortunately, by the time the login prompt appears, the trace is overwritten by the init process and other user space start up applications. Adding a "traceoff_after_boot" will disable tracing when the kernel passes control to init which will allow developers to be able to see the traces that occurred during boot. - Clean up the mmflags macros that display the GFP flags in trace events The macros to print the GFP flags for trace events had a bit of duplication. The code was restructured to remove duplication and in the process it also adds some flags that were missed before. - Removed some dead code and scripts/draw_functrace.py draw_functrace.py hasn't worked in years and as nobody complained about it, remove it. - Constify struct event_trigger_ops The event_trigger_ops is just a structure that has function pointers that are assigned when the variables are created.

ftrace changes for v6.15:
- Record function parameters for function and function graph tracers An option has been added to function tracer (func-args) and the function graph tracer (funcgraph-args) that when set, the tracers will record the registers that hold the arguments into each function event. On reading of the trace, it will use BTF to print those arguments. Most archs support up to 6 arguments (depending on the complexity of the arguments) and those are printed. If a function has more arguments then what was recorded, the output will end with " ... )". Example of function graph tracer: 6) | dummy_xmit [dummy](skb = 0x8887c100, dev = 0x872ca000) { 6) | consume_skb(skb = 0x8887c100) { 6) | skb_release_head_state(skb = 0x8887c100) { 6) 0.178 us | sock_wfree(skb = 0x8887c100) 6) 0.627 us | } - The rest of the changes are minor clean ups and fixes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ+M9vRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qrBGAP9NTn4Lpci69n8FJGfz+UKUEKbzOOeg QrkIZIxbm8N56gEA0RaUionWjt1znZXUdBTsE3h+en/Ik0//VZytQcmJBwM= =fxuG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Record function parameters for function and function graph tracers An option has been added to function tracer (func-args) and the function graph tracer (funcgraph-args) that when set, the tracers will record the registers that hold the arguments into each function event.

tracing: Add traceoff_after_boot option
Sometimes tracing is used to debug issues during the boot process. Since the trace buffer has a limited amount of storage, it may be prudent to disable tracing after the boot is finished, otherwise the critical information may be overwritten. With this option, the main tracing buffer will be turned off at the end of the boot process.

The reason was that the code that maps the ring buffer pages to user space
has:
page = virt_to_page((void *)cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids[s]);
And uses that in:
vm_insert_pages(vma, vma->vm_start, pages, &nr_pages);
But virt_to_page() does not work with vmap()'d memory which is what the
persistent ring buffer has. 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.

tracing: Have the error of __tracing_resize_ring_buffer() passed to user
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.

tracing updates for v6.14:
- 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. - 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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ5EbMxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qkZsAP9Amgx9frSbR1pn1t0I3wVnQx7khgOu s/b8Ro+vjTx1/QD/RN2AA7f+HK4F27w3Aqfrs0nKXAPtXWsJ9Epp8raG5w8= =Pg+4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.14-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - 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.

ftrace updates for v6.14:
- 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.

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.

ftrace: Implement :mod: cache filtering on kernel command line
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.

tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yet
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. This also works on the kernel command line: trace_event=:mod:<module> Will enable the events for <module> when it is loaded.

tracing: Fix using ret variable in tracing_set_tracer()
When the function tracing_set_tracer() switched over to using the guard()
infrastructure, it did not need to save the 'ret' variable and would just
return the value when an error arised, instead of setting ret and jumping
to an out label.
When CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT is enabled, it had code that expected the
"ret" variable to be initialized to zero and had set 'ret' while holding
an arch_spin_lock() (not used by guard), and then upon releasing the lock
it would check 'ret' and exit if set. But because ret was only set when an
error occurred while holding the locks, 'ret' would be used uninitialized
if there was no error. The code in the CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT block should
be self contain. Make sure 'ret' is also set when no error occurred.

tracing: Switch trace.c code over to use guard()
There are several functions in trace.c that have "goto out;" or equivalent on error in order to release locks or free values that were allocated. This can be error prone or just simply make the code more complex. Switch every location that ends with unlocking a mutex or freeing on error over to using the guard(mutex)() and __free() infrastructure to let the compiler worry about releasing locks. This makes the code easier to read and understand. There's one place that should probably return an error but instead return 0. This does not change the return as the only changes are to do the conversion without changing the logic. Fixing that location will have to come later.

trace/ring-buffer: Do not use TP_printk() formatting for boot mapped buffers
The TP_printk() of a TRACE_EVENT() is a generic printf format that any
developer can create for their event. It may include pointers to strings
and such. A boot mapped buffer may contain data from a previous kernel
where the strings addresses are different.
One solution is to copy the event content and update the pointers by the
recorded delta, but a simpler solution (for now) is to just use the
print_fields() function to print these events. The print_fields() function
just iterates the fields and prints them according to what type they are,
and ignores the TP_printk() format from the event itself.
To understand the difference, when printing via TP_printk() the output
looks like this:
4582.696626: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=getname_flags+0x47/0x1f0 ptr=00000000e70e10e0 bytes_req=4096 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL node=-1 accounted=false

But when printing via print_fields() (echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/options/fields)
the same event output looks like this:
4582.696626: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=0xffffffff92d10d97 (-1831793257) ptr=0xffff9e0e8571e000 (-107689771147264) bytes_req=0x1000 (4096) bytes_alloc=0x1000 (4096) gfp_flags=0xcc0 (3264) node=0xffffffff (-1) accounted=(0)

tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format
The TP_printk() portion of a trace event is executed at the time a event
is read from the trace. This can happen seconds, minutes, hours, days,
months, years possibly later since the event was recorded. If the print
format contains a dereference to a string via "%s", and that string was
allocated, there's a chance that string could be freed before it is read
by the trace file.
To protect against such bugs, there are two functions that verify the
event. The first one is test_event_printk(), which is called when the
event is created. It reads the TP_printk() format as well as its arguments
to make sure nothing may be dereferencing a pointer that was not copied
into the ring buffer along with the event. If it is, it will trigger a
WARN_ON().
For strings that use "%s", it is not so easy. The string may not reside in
the ring buffer but may still be valid. Strings that are static and part
of the kernel proper which will not be freed for the life of the running
system, are safe to dereference. But to know if it is a pointer to a
static string or to something on the heap can not be determined until the
event is triggered.
This brings us to the second function that tests for the bad dereferencing
of strings, trace_check_vprintf(). It would walk through the printf format
looking for "%s", and when it finds it, it would validate that the pointer
is safe to read. If not, it would produces a WARN_ON() as well and write
into the ring buffer "[UNSAFE-MEMORY]".
The problem with this is how it used va_list to have vsnprintf() handle
all the cases that it didn't need to check. Instead of re-implementing
vsnprintf(), it would make a copy of the format up to the %s part, and
call vsnprintf() with the current va_list ap variable, where the ap would
then be ready to point at the string in question.
For architectures that passed va_list by reference this was possible. For
architectures that passed it by copy it was not. A test_can_verify()
function was used to differentiate between the two, and if it wasn't
possible, it would disable it.
Even for architectures where this was feasible, it was a stretch to rely
on such a method that is undocumented, and could cause issues later on
with new optimizations of the compiler.
Instead, the first function test_event_printk() was updated to look at
"%s" as well. If the "%s" argument is a pointer outside the event in the
ring buffer, it would find the field type of the event that is the problem
and mark the structure with a new flag called "needs_test". The event
itself will be marked by TRACE_EVENT_FL_TEST_STR to let it be known that
this event has a field that needs to be verified before the event can be
printed using the printf format.
When the event fields are created from the field type structure, the
fields would copy the field type's "needs_test" value.
Finally, before being printed, a new function ignore_event() is called
which will check if the event has the TEST_STR flag set (if not, it
returns false). If the flag is set, it then iterates through the events
fields looking for the ones that have the "needs_test" flag set.
Then it uses the offset field from the field structure to find the pointer
in the ring buffer event. It runs the tests to make sure that pointer is
safe to print and if not, it triggers the WARN_ON() and also adds to the
trace output that the event in question has an unsafe memory access.
The ignore_event() makes the trace_check_vprintf() obsolete so it is
removed.

The tracepoints are called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space parameters and record them. Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers (perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow faults. - Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic - Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API - Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used - Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic - Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy() - Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr() - Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled - Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with atomic64_inc_return(counter) - Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE - Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used - Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph tracer is also running. When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the parent function of the function tracer sometimes is "return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address. - Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure - Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack function filter. echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter Would cause a kernel NULL dereference. - Minor clean ups -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZz6dehQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qlQsAP9aB0XGUV3UykvjZuKK84VDZ26a2hZH X2JDYsNA4luuPAEAz/BG2rnslfMZ04WTMAl8h1eh10lxcuHG0wQMHVBXIwI= =lzb5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Addition of faultable tracepoints There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit.

ftrace updates for v6.13:
- Merged tag ftrace-v6.12-rc4 There was a fix to locking in register_ftrace_graph() for shadow stacks that was sent upstream. But this code was also being rewritten, and the locking fix was needed. Merging this fix was required to continue the work. - Restructure the function graph shadow stack to prepare it for use with kretprobes With the goal of merging the shadow stack logic of function graph and kretprobes, some more restructuring of the function shadow stack is required. Move out function graph specific fields from the fgraph infrastructure and store it on the new stack variables that can pass data from the entry callback to the exit callback. Hopefully, with this change, the merge of kretprobes to use fgraph shadow stacks will be ready by the next merge window. - Make shadow stack 4k instead of using PAGE_SIZE. Some architectures have very large PAGE_SIZE values which make its use for shadow stacks waste a lot of memory. - Give shadow stacks its own kmem cache. When function graph is started, every task on the system gets a shadow stack. In the future, shadow stacks may not be 4K in size. Have it have its own kmem cache so that whatever size it becomes will still be efficient in allocations. - Initialize profiler graph ops as it will be needed for new updates to fgraph - Convert to use guard(mutex) for several ftrace and fgraph functions - Add more comments and documentation - Show function return address in function graph tracer Add an option to show the caller of a function at each entry of the function graph tracer, similar to what the function tracer does. - Abstract out ftrace_regs from being used directly like pt_regs ftrace_regs was created to store a partial pt_regs. It holds only the registers and stack information to get to the function arguments and return values. On several archs, it is simply a wrapper around pt_regs. But some users would access ftrace_regs directly to get the pt_regs which will not work on all archs. Make ftrace_regs an abstract structure that requires all access to its fields be through accessor functions. - Show how long it takes to do function code modifications When code modification for function hooks happen, it always had the time recorded in how long it took to do the conversion. But this value was never exported. Recently the code was touched due to new ROX modification handling that caused a large slow down in doing the modifications and had a significant impact on boot times. Expose the timings in the dyn_ftrace_total_info file. This file was created a while ago to show information about memory usage and such to implement dynamic function tracing. It's also an appropriate file to store the timings of this modification as well. This will make it easier to see the impact of changes to code modification on boot up timings. - Other clean ups and small fixes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZztrUxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qnnNAQD6w4q9VQ7oOE2qKLqtnj87h4c1GqKn SPkpEfC3n/ATEAD/fnYjT/eOSlHiGHuD/aTA+U/bETrT99bozGM/4mFKEgY= =6nCa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Restructure the function graph shadow stack to prepare it for use with kretprobes With the goal of merging the shadow stack logic of function graph and kretprobes, some more restructuring of the function shadow stack is required.

tracing/ring-buffer: Clear all memory mapped CPU ring buffers on first recording
The events of a memory mapped ring buffer from the previous boot should
not be mixed in with events from the current boot. There's meta data that
is used to handle KASLR so that function names can be shown properly.
Also, since the timestamps of the previous boot have no meaning to the
timestamps of the current boot, having them intermingled in a buffer can
also cause confusion because there could possibly be events in the future.
When a trace is activated the meta data is reset so that the pointers of
are now processed for the new address space. The trace buffers are reset
when tracing starts for the first time. The problem here is that the reset
only happens on online CPUs. If a CPU is offline, it does not get reset.
To demonstrate the issue, a previous boot had tracing enabled in the boot
mapped ring buffer on reboot. On the following boot, tracing has not been
started yet so the function trace from the previous boot is still visible.
# trace-cmd show -B boot_mapped -c 3 | tail

<idle>-0 [003] d.h2. 156.462575: lmce_supported <-mce_intel_feature_clear
Now, if CPU 3 is taken offline, and tracing is started on the memory
mapped ring buffer, the events from the previous boot in the CPU 3 ring
buffer is not reset. Now those events are using the meta data from the
current boot and produces just hex values.

tracing: Make percpu stack trace buffer invariant to PAGE_SIZE
Previously the size of "struct ftrace_stacks" depended upon PAGE_SIZE. For the common 4K page size, on a 64-bit system, sizeof(struct ftrace_stacks) was 32K. But for a 64K page size, sizeof(struct ftrace_stacks) was 512K. But ftrace stack usage requirements should be invariant to page size. So let's redefine FTRACE_KSTACK_ENTRIES so that "struct ftrace_stacks" is always sized at 32K for 64-bit and 16K for 32-bit. As a side effect, it removes the PAGE_SIZE compile-time constant assumption from this code, which is required to reach the goal of boot-time page size selection.

ring-buffer: Fix refcount setting of boot mapped buffers
A ring buffer which has its buffered mapped at boot up to fixed memory
should not be freed. Other buffers can be. The ref counting setup was
wrong for both. It made the not mapped buffers ref count have zero, and the
boot mapped buffer a ref count of 1. But an normally allocated buffer
should be 1, where it can be removed.
Keep the ref count of a normal boot buffer with its setup ref count (do
not decrement it), and increment the fixed memory boot mapped buffer's ref
count.

tracing: Fix trace_check_vprintf() when tp_printk is used
When the tp_printk kernel command line is used, the trace events go
directly to printk(). It is still checked via the trace_check_vprintf()
function to make sure the pointers of the trace event are legit.
The addition of reading buffers from previous boots required adding a
delta between the addresses of the previous boot and the current boot so
that the pointers in the old buffer can still be used. But this required
adding a trace_array pointer to acquire the delta offsets.
The tp_printk code does not provide a trace_array (tr) pointer, so when
the offsets were examined, a NULL pointer dereference happened and the
kernel crashed.
If the trace_array does not exist, just default the delta offsets to zero,
as that also means the trace event is not being read from a previous boot.

ring-buffer: Updates for v6.12:
- Merged v6.11-rc3 into trace/ring-buffer/core The v6.10 ring buffer pull request was not made due to Mathieu Desnoyers making a comment to the pull request. Mathieu and I resolved it on IRC, but we did not let Linus know that it was resolved. Linus did not do the pull thinking it still had some unresolved issues. The ring buffer work for 6.12 was dependent on both this pull request as well as the reserve_mem kernel command line option that was going upstream through the memory management tree. The ring buffer repo was being used by others so it could not be rebased. In order to continue the work, the v6.11-rc3 branch was pulled in to get access to the reserve_mem work. This has the 6.11 pull request that did not make it into 6.11, which was: tracing/ring-buffer: Have persistent buffer across reboots This allows for the tracing instance ring buffer to stay persistent across reboots. The way this is done is by adding to the kernel command line: trace_instance=boot_map@0x285400000:12M This will reserve 12 megabytes at the address 0x285400000, and then map the tracing instance "boot_map" ring buffer to that memory. This will appear as a normal instance in the tracefs system: /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_map A user could enable tracing in that instance, and on reboot or kernel crash, if the memory is not wiped by the firmware, it will recreate the trace in that instance. For example, if one was debugging a shutdown of a kernel reboot: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo function > instances/boot_map/current_tracer # reboot [..] # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # tail instances/boot_map/trace swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549800: restore_boot_irq_mode <-native_machine_shutdown swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549801: native_restore_boot_irq_mode <-native_machine_shutdown swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549802: disconnect_bsp_APIC <-native_machine_shutdown swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549811: hpet_disable <-native_machine_shutdown swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549812: iommu_shutdown_noop <-native_machine_restart swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549813: native_machine_emergency_restart <-__do_sys_reboot swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549813: tboot_shutdown <-native_machine_emergency_restart swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549820: acpi_reboot <-native_machine_emergency_restart swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549821: acpi_reset <-acpi_reboot swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549822: acpi_os_write_port <-acpi_reboot On reboot, the buffer is examined to make sure it is valid. The validation check even steps through every event to make sure the meta data of the event is correct. If any test fails, it will simply reset the buffer, and the buffer will be empty on boot. The new changes for 6.12 are: - Allow the tracing persistent boot buffer to use the "reserve_mem" option Instead of having the admin find a physical address to store the persistent buffer, which can be very tedious if they have to administrate several different machines, allow them to use the "reserve_mem" option that will find a location for them. It is not as reliable because of KASLR, as the loading of the kernel in different locations can cause the memory allocated to be inconsistent. Booting with "nokaslr" can make reserve_mem more reliable. - Have function graph tracer handle offsets from a previous boot. The ring buffer output from a previous boot may have different addresses due to kaslr. Have the function graph tracer handle these by using the delta from the previous boot to the new boot address space. - Only reset the saved meta offset when the buffer is started or reset In the persistent memory meta data, it holds the previous address space information, so that it can calculate the delta to have function tracing work. But this gets updated after being read to hold the new address space. But if the buffer isn't used for that boot, on reboot, the delta is now calculated from the previous boot and not the boot that holds the data in the ring buffer. This causes the functions not to be shown. Do not save the address space information of the current kernel until it is being recorded. - Add a magic variable to test the valid meta data Add a magic variable in the meta data that can also be used for validation. The validator of the previous buffer doesn't need this magic data, but it can be used if the meta data is changed by a new kernel, which may have the same format that passes the validator but is used differently. This magic number can also be used as a "versioning" of the meta data. - Align user space mapped ring buffer sub buffers to improve TLB entries Linus mentioned that the mapped ring buffer sub buffers were misaligned between the meta page and the sub-buffers, so that if the sub-buffers were bigger than PAGE_SIZE, it wouldn't allow the TLB to use bigger entries. - Add new kernel command line "traceoff" to disable tracing on boot for instances If tracing is enabled for a boot instance, there needs a way to be able to disable it on boot so that new events do not get entered into the ring buffer and be mixed with events from a previous boot, as that can be confusing. - Allow trace_printk() to go to other instances Currently, trace_printk() can only go to the top level instance. When debugging with a persistent buffer, it is really useful to be able to add trace_printk() to go to that buffer, so that you have access to them after a crash. - Do not use "bin_printk()" for traces to a boot instance The bin_printk() saves only a pointer to the printk format in the ring buffer, as the reader of the buffer can still have access to it. But this is not the case if the buffer is from a previous boot. If the trace_printk() is going to a "persistent" buffer, it will use the slower version that writes the printk format into the buffer. - Add command line option to allow trace_printk() to go to an instance Allow the kernel command line to define which instance the trace_printk() goes to, instead of forcing the admin to set it for every boot via the tracefs options. - Start a document that explains how to use tracefs to debug the kernel - Add some more kernel selftests to test user mapped ring buffer -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZu/PxxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qowiAQCx86Nm48aCACjrvGWCFb+jgQZn8QdO MeK15Fcc5C3b5gEAkJkDKqtul7ybI9+vq+3yNzdl7pO7Y7+pCNzz3PfVaQA= =Ce81 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - tracing/ring-buffer: persistent buffer across reboots This allows for the tracing instance ring buffer to stay persistent across reboots.

For example, if one was debugging a shutdown of a kernel reboot: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo function > instances/boot_map/current_tracer # reboot [..] # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # tail instances/boot_map/trace swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549800: restore_boot_irq_mode <-native_machine_shutdown swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549801: native_restore_boot_irq_mode <-native_machine_shutdown swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549802: disconnect_bsp_APIC <-native_machine_shutdown swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549811: hpet_disable <-native_machine_shutdown swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549812: iommu_shutdown_noop <-native_machine_restart swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549813: native_machine_emergency_restart <-__do_sys_reboot swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549813: tboot_shutdown <-native_machine_emergency_restart swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549820: acpi_reboot <-native_machine_emergency_restart swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549821: acpi_reset <-acpi_reboot swapper/0-1 [000] d..1. 164.549822: acpi_os_write_port <-acpi_reboot On reboot, the buffer is examined to make sure it is valid. The validation check even steps through every event to make sure the meta data of the event is correct. If any test fails, it will simply reset the buffer, and the buffer will be empty on boot. - Allow the tracing persistent boot buffer to use the "reserve_mem" option Instead of having the admin find a physical address to store the persistent buffer, which can be very tedious if they have to administrate several different machines, allow them to use the "reserve_mem" option that will find a location for them. It is not as reliable because of KASLR, as the loading of the kernel in different locations can cause the memory allocated to be inconsistent. Booting with "nokaslr" can make reserve_mem more reliable. - Have function graph tracer handle offsets from a previous boot. The ring buffer output from a previous boot may have different addresses due to kaslr. Have the function graph tracer handle these by using the delta from the previous boot to the new boot address space. - Only reset the saved meta offset when the buffer is started or reset In the persistent memory meta data, it holds the previous address space information, so that it can calculate the delta to have function tracing work. But this gets updated after being read to hold the new address space. But if the buffer isn't used for that boot, on reboot, the delta is now calculated from the previous boot and not the boot that holds the data in the ring buffer. This causes the functions not to be shown. Do not save the address space information of the current kernel until it is being recorded. - Add a magic variable to test the valid meta data Add a magic variable in the meta data that can also be used for validation. The validator of the previous buffer doesn't need this magic data, but it can be used if the meta data is changed by a new kernel, which may have the same format that passes the validator but is used differently. This magic number can also be used as a "versioning" of the meta data. - Align user space mapped ring buffer sub buffers to improve TLB entries Linus mentioned that the mapped ring buffer sub buffers were misaligned between the meta page and the sub-buffers, so that if the sub-buffers were bigger than PAGE_SIZE, it wouldn't allow the TLB to use bigger entries. - Add new kernel command line "traceoff" to disable tracing on boot for instances If tracing is enabled for a boot instance, there needs a way to be able to disable it on boot so that new events do not get entered into the ring buffer and be mixed with events from a previous boot, as that can be confusing. - Allow trace_printk() to go to other instances Currently, trace_printk() can only go to the top level instance. When debugging with a persistent buffer, it is really useful to be able to add trace_printk() to go to that buffer, so that you have access to them after a crash. - Do not use "bin_printk()" for traces to a boot instance The bin_printk() saves only a pointer to the printk format in the ring buffer, as the reader of the buffer can still have access to it. But this is not the case if the buffer is from a previous boot. If the trace_printk() is going to a "persistent" buffer, it will use the slower version that writes the printk format into the buffer. - Add command line option to allow trace_printk() to go to an instance Allow the kernel command line to define which instance the trace_printk() goes to, instead of forcing the admin to set it for every boot via the tracefs options. - Start a document that explains how to use tracefs to debug the kernel - Add some more kernel selftests to test user mapped ring buffer * tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (28 commits) selftests/ring-buffer: Handle meta-page bigger than the system selftests/ring-buffer: Verify the entire meta-page padding tracing/Documentation: Start a document on how to debug with tracing tracing: Add option to set an instance to be the trace_printk destination tracing: Have trace_printk not use binary prints if boot buffer tracing: Allow trace_printk() to go to other instance buffers tracing: Add "traceoff" flag to boot time tracing instances ring-buffer: Align meta-page to sub-buffers for improved TLB usage ring-buffer: Add magic and struct size to boot up meta data ring-buffer: Don't reset persistent ring-buffer meta saved addresses tracing/fgraph: Have fgraph handle previous boot function addresses tracing: Allow boot instances to use reserve_mem boot memory tracing: Fix ifdef of snapshots to not prevent last_boot_info file ring-buffer: Use vma_pages() helper function tracing: Fix NULL vs IS_ERR() check in enable_instances() tracing: Add last boot delta offset for stack traces tracing: Update function tracing output for previous boot buffer tracing: Handle old buffer mappings for event strings and functions tracing/ring-buffer: Add last_boot_info file to boot instance ring-buffer: Save text and data locations in mapped meta data ... |

tracing: Avoid possible softlockup in tracing_iter_reset()
In __tracing_open(), when max latency tracers took place on the cpu,
the time start of its buffer would be updated, then event entries with
timestamps being earlier than start of the buffer would be skipped
(see tracing_iter_reset()).
Softlockup will occur if the kernel is non-preemptible and too many
entries were skipped in the loop that reset every cpu buffer, so add
cond_resched() to avoid it.

tracing: Add option to set an instance to be the trace_printk destination
Add a option "trace_printk_dest" that will make the tracing instance the location that trace_printk() will go to. This is useful if the trace_printk or one of the top level tracers is too noisy and there's a need to separate the two. Then an instance can be created, the trace_printk can be set to go there instead, where it will not be lost in the noise of the top level tracer. Note, only one instance can be the destination of trace_printk at a time. If an instance sets this flag, the instance that had it set will have it cleared. There is always one instance that has this set. By default, that is the top instance. This flag cannot be cleared from the top instance. Doing so will result in an -EINVAL. The only way this flag can be cleared from the top instance is by another instance setting it.

tracing: Have trace_printk not use binary prints if boot buffer
If the persistent boot mapped ring buffer is used for trace_printk(), force it to not use the binary versions. trace_printk() by default uses bin_printf() that only saves the pointer to the format and not the format itself inside the ring buffer. But for a persistent buffer that is read after reboot, the pointers to the format strings may not be the same, or worse, not even exist! Instead, just force the more robust, but slower, version that does the formatting before saving into the ring buffer. The boot mapped buffer can now be used for trace_printk and friends! Using the trace_printk() and the persistent buffer was used to debug the issue with the osnoise tracer: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240822103443.6a6ae051@gandalf.local.home/ Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com> Cc: Joel Fernandes <joel@joelfernandes.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vineeth Pillai <vineeth@bitbyteword.org> Cc: Beau Belgrave <beaub@linux.microsoft.com> Cc: Alexander Graf <graf@amazon.com> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: "Paul E.

tracing: Add "traceoff" flag to boot time tracing instances
Add a "flags" delimiter (^) to the "trace_instance" kernel command line parameter, and add the "traceoff" flag. The format is: trace_instance=<name>[^<flag1>[^<flag2>]][@<memory>][,<events>] The code allows for more than one flag to be added, but currently only "traceoff" is done so. The motivation for this change came from debugging with the persistent ring buffer and having trace_printk() writing to it. The trace_printk calls are always enabled, and the boot after the crash was having the unwanted trace_printks from the current boot inject into the ring buffer with the trace_printks of the crash kernel, making the output very confusing.

tracing: Allow boot instances to use reserve_mem boot memory
Allow boot instances to use memory reserved by the reserve_mem boot option. reserve_mem=12M:4096:trace trace_instance=boot_mapped@trace The above will allocate 12 megs with 4096 alignment and label it "trace". The second parameter will create a "boot_mapped" instance and use the memory reserved and labeled as "trace" as the memory for the ring buffer. That will create an instance called "boot_mapped": /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped Note, because the ring buffer is using a defined memory ranged, it will act just like a memory mapped ring buffer. It will not have a snapshot buffer, as it can't swap out the buffer. The snapshot files as well as any tracers that uses a snapshot will not be present in the boot_mapped instance. Also note that reserve_mem is not reliable in acquiring the same physical memory at each soft reboot. It is possible that KALSR could map the kernel at the previous boot memory location forcing the reserve_mem to return a different memory location. In this case, the previous ring buffer will be lost.

tracing: Fix ifdef of snapshots to not prevent last_boot_info file
The mapping of the ring buffer to memory allocated at boot up will also
expose a "last_boot_info" to help tooling to read the raw data from the
last boot. As instances that have their ring buffer mapped to fixed
memory cannot perform snapshots, they can either have the "snapshot" file
or the "last_boot_info" file, but not both.
The code that added the "last_boot_info" file failed to notice that the
"snapshot" creation was inside a "#ifdef CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT" and
incorrectly placed the creation of the "last_boot_info" file within the
ifdef block. Not only does it cause a warning when CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT
is not enabled, it also incorrectly prevents the file from appearing.

tracing: Return from tracing_buffers_read() if the file has been closed
When running the following:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo 1 > events/sched/sched_waking/enable
# echo 1 > events/sched/sched_switch/enable
# echo 0 > tracing_on
# dd if=per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe_raw of=/tmp/raw0.dat
The dd task would get stuck in an infinite loop in the kernel. What would
happen is the following:
When ring_buffer_read_page() returns -1 (no data) then a check is made to
see if the buffer is empty (as happens when the page is not full), it will
call wait_on_pipe() to wait until the ring buffer has data. When it is it
will try again to read data (unless O_NONBLOCK is set).
The issue happens when there's a reader and the file descriptor is closed.
The wait_on_pipe() will return when that is the case. But this loop will
continue to try again and wait_on_pipe() will again return immediately and
the loop will continue and never stop.
Simply check if the file was closed before looping and exit out if it is.

tracing: Handle old buffer mappings for event strings and functions
Use the saved text_delta and data_delta of a persistent memory mapped ring buffer that was saved from a previous boot, and use the delta in the trace event print output so that strings and functions show up normally. That is, for an event like trace_kmalloc() that prints the callsite via "%pS", if it used the address saved in the ring buffer it will not match the function that was saved in the previous boot if the kernel remaps itself between boots. For RCU events that point to saved static strings where only the address of the string is saved in the ring buffer, it too will be adjusted to point to where the string is on the current boot.

tracing/ring-buffer: Add last_boot_info file to boot instance
If an instance is mapped to memory on boot up, create a new file called "last_boot_info" that will hold information that can be used to properly parse the raw data in the ring buffer. It will export the delta of the addresses for text and data from what it was from the last boot. It does not expose actually addresses (unless you knew what the actual address was from the last boot). The output will look like: # cat last_boot_info text delta: -268435456 data delta: -268435456 The text and data are kept separate in case they are ever made different.

tracing: Add option to use memmapped memory for trace boot instance
Add an option to the trace_instance kernel command line parameter that allows it to use the reserved memory from memmap boot parameter. memmap=12M$0x284500000 trace_instance=boot_mapped@0x284500000:12M The above will reserves 12 megs at the physical address 0x284500000. The second parameter will create a "boot_mapped" instance and use the memory reserved as the memory for the ring buffer. That will create an instance called "boot_mapped": /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped Note, because the ring buffer is using a defined memory ranged, it will act just like a memory mapped ring buffer. It will not have a snapshot buffer, as it can't swap out the buffer. The snapshot files as well as any tracers that uses a snapshot will not be present in the boot_mapped instance.

tracing ring buffer updates for v6.10:
- Add ring_buffer memory mappings The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with the splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers and the reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer that's part of the write buffer. It then has total access to the swapped out sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory into other mediums (file system, network, etc). The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space task itself. A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader sub-buffer (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change which sub-buffer is the new reader sub-buffer. The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer that the writer will not write over. A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as an example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external to the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be enabled by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used for testing applications that perform better with the buffer being mapped. Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can not be used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped, snapshots will be disabled. If any logic is set to trigger snapshots on a buffer, that buffer will not be allowed to be mapped. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZkYzDRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qttNAQCj3I0OpeI1vms85ShIa7Eha2qes5uC Yml2fnapkmRSwAEAp5UTGxtDctycWOk9B9PA7/oJmLgATaQwRKoEeTUwfAA= =TyEB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing ring buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: "Add ring_buffer memory mappings.

tracing: Allow user-space mapping of the ring-buffer
Currently, user-space extracts data from the ring-buffer via splice, which is handy for storage or network sharing. However, due to splice limitations, it is imposible to do real-time analysis without a copy. A solution for that problem is to let the user-space map the ring-buffer directly. The mapping is exposed via the per-CPU file trace_pipe_raw. The first element of the mapping is the meta-page. It is followed by each subbuffer constituting the ring-buffer, ordered by their unique page ID: * Meta-page -- include/uapi/linux/trace_mmap.h for a description * Subbuf ID 0 * Subbuf ID 1 ... It is therefore easy to translate a subbuf ID into an offset in the mapping: reader_id = meta->reader->id; reader_offset = meta->meta_page_size + reader_id * meta->subbuf_size; When new data is available, the mapper must call a newly introduced ioctl: TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER. This will update the Meta-page reader ID to point to the next reader containing unread data. Mapping will prevent snapshot and buffer size modifications.

tracing/probes: support '%pD' type for print struct file's name
As like '%pd' type, this patch supports print type '%pD' for print file's name. For example "name=$arg1:%pD" casts the `$arg1` as (struct file*), dereferences the "file.f_path.dentry.d_name.name" field and stores it to "name" argument as a kernel string. Here is an example: [tracing]# echo 'p:testprobe vfs_read name=$arg1:%pD' > kprobe_event [tracing]# echo 1 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable [tracing]# grep -q "1" events/kprobes/testprobe/enable [tracing]# echo 0 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable [tracing]# grep "vfs_read" trace | grep "enable" grep-15108 [003] ..... 5228.328609: testprobe: (vfs_read+0x4/0xbb0) name="enable" Note that this expects the given argument (e.g. $arg1) is an address of struct file.

For debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for other purposes. This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific or multiple trace instances: - ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on all CPUs - ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops - ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the tracing instance matching <instance_name> - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu], <instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

tracing: Fix snapshot counter going between two tracers that use it
Running the ftrace selftests caused the ring buffer mapping test to fail. Investigating, I found that the snapshot counter would be incremented every time a tracer that uses the snapshot is enabled even if the snapshot was used by the previous tracer. That is: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo wakeup_rt > current_tracer # echo wakeup_dl > current_tracer # echo nop > current_tracer would leave the snapshot counter at 1 and not zero. That's because the enabling of wakeup_dl would increment the counter again but the setting the tracer to nop would only decrement it once. Do not arm the snapshot for a tracer if the previous tracer already had it armed.

tracing: Add snapshot refcount
When a ring-buffer is memory mapped by user-space, no trace or ring-buffer swap is possible. This means the snapshot feature is mutually exclusive with the memory mapping. Having a refcount on snapshot users will help to know if a mapping is possible or not. Instead of relying on the global trace_types_lock, a new spinlock is introduced to serialize accesses to trace_array->snapshot. This intends to allow access to that variable in a context where the mmap lock is already held.

tracing: Move saved_cmdline code into trace_sched_switch.c
The code that handles saved_cmdlines is split between the trace.c file and the trace_sched_switch.c. There's some history to this. The trace_sched_switch.c was originally created to handle the sched_switch tracer that was deprecated due to sched_switch trace event making it obsolete. But that file did not get deleted as it had some code to help with saved_cmdlines. But trace.c has grown tremendously since then. Just move all the saved_cmdlines code into trace_sched_switch.c as that's the only reason that file still exists, and trace.c has gotten too big. No functional changes.

tracing: Have saved_cmdlines arrays all in one allocation
The saved_cmdlines have three arrays for mapping PIDs to COMMs:
- map_pid_to_cmdline[]
- map_cmdline_to_pid[]
- saved_cmdlines
The map_pid_to_cmdline[] is PID_MAX_DEFAULT in size and holds the index
into the other arrays. The map_cmdline_to_pid[] is a mapping back to the
full pid as it can be larger than PID_MAX_DEFAULT. And the
saved_cmdlines[] just holds the COMMs associated to the pids.
Currently the map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[] are allocated
together (in reality the saved_cmdlines is just in the memory of the
rounding of the allocation of the structure as it is always allocated in
powers of two). The map_cmdline_to_pid[] array is allocated separately.
Since the rounding to a power of two is rather large (it allows for 8000
elements in saved_cmdlines), also include the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array.
(This drops it to 6000 by default, which is still plenty for most use
cases). This saves even more memory as the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array
doesn't need to be allocated.

Tracing/ring-buffer fixes for 6.8 (to be applied in 6.9-rc):
- Do not update shortest_full in rb_watermark_hit() if the watermark is hit. The shortest_full field was being updated regardless if the task was going to wait or not. If the watermark is hit, then the task is not going to wait, so do not update the shortest_full field (used by the waker). - Update shortest_full field before setting the full_waiters_pending flag In the poll logic, the full_waiters_pending flag was being set before the shortest_full field was set. If the full_waiters_pending flag is set, writers will check the shortest_full field which has the least percentage of data that the ring buffer needs to be filled before waking up. The writer will check shortest_full if full_waiters_pending is set, and if the ring buffer percentage filled is greater than shortest full, then it will call the irq_work to wake up the waiters. The problem was that the poll logic set the full_waiters_pending flag before updating shortest_full, which when zero will always trigger the writer to call the irq_work to wake up the waiters. The irq_work will reset the shortest_full field back to zero as the woken waiters is suppose to reset it. - There's some optimized logic in the rb_watermark_hit() that is used in ring_buffer_wait(). Use that helper function in the poll logic as well. - Restructure ring_buffer_wait() to use wait_event_interruptible() The logic to wake up pending readers when the file descriptor is closed is racy. Restructure ring_buffer_wait() to allow callers to pass in conditions besides the ring buffer having enough data in it by using wait_event_interruptible(). - Update the tracing_wait_on_pipe() to call ring_buffer_wait() with its own conditions to exit the wait loop. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZfH6MRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qtlwAP9ZoSIkvw2MVu7FclgAguaX2CaylGEw sv0wZaCy1kgAPgD8CFhezZcHrt/RwJibpMxVnUs+DDqYnGdJsHYLihlbWgg= =99FG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v6.8-rc7-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Do not update shortest_full in rb_watermark_hit() if the watermark is hit.

Use that helper function in the poll logic as well. - Restructure ring_buffer_wait() to use wait_event_interruptible() The logic to wake up pending readers when the file descriptor is closed is racy. Restructure ring_buffer_wait() to allow callers to pass in conditions besides the ring buffer having enough data in it by using wait_event_interruptible(). - Update the tracing_wait_on_pipe() to call ring_buffer_wait() with its own conditions to exit the wait loop. * tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v6.8-rc7-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing/ring-buffer: Fix wait_on_pipe() race ring-buffer: Use wait_event_interruptible() in ring_buffer_wait() ring-buffer: Reuse rb_watermark_hit() for the poll logic ring-buffer: Fix full_waiters_pending in poll ring-buffer: Do not set shortest_full when full target is hit |

tracing/ring-buffer: Fix wait_on_pipe() race
When the trace_pipe_raw file is closed, there should be no new readers on
the file descriptor. This is mostly handled with the waking and wait_index
fields of the iterator. But there's still a slight race.
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
wait_index++;
index = wait_index;
ring_buffer_wake_waiters();
wait_on_pipe()
ring_buffer_wait();
The ring_buffer_wait() will miss the wakeup from CPU 1. The problem is
that the ring_buffer_wait() needs the logic of:
prepare_to_wait();
if (!condition)
schedule();
Where the missing condition check is the iter->wait_index update.
Have the ring_buffer_wait() take a conditional callback function and a
data parameter that can be used within the wait_event_interruptible() of
the ring_buffer_wait() function.
In wait_on_pipe(), pass a condition function that will check if the
wait_index has been updated, if it has, it will return true to break out
of the wait_event_interruptible() loop.
Create a new field "closed" in the trace_iterator and set it in the
.flush() callback before calling ring_buffer_wake_waiters().
This will keep any new readers from waiting on a closed file descriptor.
Have the wait_on_pipe() condition callback also check the closed field.
Change the wait_index field of the trace_iterator to atomic_t. There's no
reason it needs to be 'long' and making it atomic and using
atomic_read_acquire() and atomic_fetch_inc_release() will provide the
necessary memory barriers.
Add a "woken" flag to tracing_buffers_splice_read() to exit the loop after
one more try to fetch data. That is, if it waited for data and something
woke it up, it should try to collect any new data and then exit back to
user space.

tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers
The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file
descriptor are finished.
If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(),
and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the
other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and
that will not get called until the .read() is finished.
The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually
other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake
up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the
one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue.
When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another
thread closed its descriptor.
This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the
readers.

Limit the max print event of trace_marker to just 4K string size.

tracing/probes: Support $argN in return probe (kprobe and fprobe)
Support accessing $argN in the return probe events. This will help users to record entry data in function return (exit) event for simplfing the function entry/exit information in one event, and record the result values (e.g. allocated object/initialized object) at function exit. For example, if we have a function `int init_foo(struct foo *obj, int param)` sometimes we want to check how `obj` is initialized. In such case, we can define a new return event like below; # echo 'r init_foo retval=$retval param=$arg2 field1=+0($arg1)' >> kprobe_events Thus it records the function parameter `param` and its result `obj->field1` (the dereference will be done in the function exit timing) value at once. This also support fprobe, BTF args and'$arg*'. So if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled, we can trace both function parameters and the return value by following command. # echo 'f target_function%return $arg* $retval' >> dynamic_events Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/170952365552.229804.224112990211602895.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> |

tracing: Inform kmemleak of saved_cmdlines allocation
The allocation of the struct saved_cmdlines_buffer structure changed from:
s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s), GFP_KERNEL);
s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);
to:
orig_size = sizeof(*s) + val * TASK_COMM_LEN;
order = get_order(orig_size);
size = 1 << (order + PAGE_SHIFT);
page = alloc_pages(GFP_KERNEL, order);
if (!page)
return NULL;
s = page_address(page);
memset(s, 0, sizeof(*s));
s->saved_cmdlines = kmalloc_array(TASK_COMM_LEN, val, GFP_KERNEL);
Where that s->saved_cmdlines allocation looks to be a dangling allocation
to kmemleak. That's because kmemleak only keeps track of kmalloc()
allocations. For allocations that use page_alloc() directly, the kmemleak
needs to be explicitly informed about it.
Add kmemleak_alloc() and kmemleak_free() around the page allocation so
that it doesn't give the following false positive:

tracer_tracing_is_on() checks whether record_disabled is not zero. This checks both the record_disabled counter and the RB_BUFFER_OFF flag. Reading the source it looks like this function should only check for the RB_BUFFER_OFF flag. Therefore use ring_buffer_record_is_set_on().

tracing: Fix wasted memory in saved_cmdlines logic
While looking at improving the saved_cmdlines cache I found a huge amount
of wasted memory that should be used for the cmdlines.
The tracing data saves pids during the trace. At sched switch, if a trace
occurred, it will save the comm of the task that did the trace. This is
saved in a "cache" that maps pids to comms and exposed to user space via
the /sys/kernel/tracing/saved_cmdlines file. Currently it only caches by
default 128 comms.
The structure that uses this creates an array to store the pids using
PID_MAX_DEFAULT (which is usually set to 32768). This causes the structure
to be of the size of 131104 bytes on 64 bit machines.
In hex: 131104 = 0x20020, and since the kernel allocates generic memory in
powers of two, the kernel would allocate 0x40000 or 262144 bytes to store
this structure. That leaves 131040 bytes of wasted space.
Worse, the structure points to an allocated array to store the comm names,
which is 16 bytes times the amount of names to save (currently 128), which
is 2048 bytes. Instead of allocating a separate array, make the structure
end with a variable length string and use the extra space for that.
This is similar to a recommendation that Linus had made about eventfs_inode names:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240130190355.11486-5-torvalds@linux-foundation.org/
Instead of allocating a separate string array to hold the saved comms,
have the structure end with: char saved_cmdlines[]; and round up to the
next power of two over sizeof(struct saved_cmdline_buffers) + num_cmdlines * TASK_COMM_LEN
It will use this extra space for the saved_cmdline portion.
Now, instead of saving only 128 comms by default, by using this wasted
space at the end of the structure it can save over 8000 comms and even
saves space by removing the need for allocating the other array.

tracing: Fix blocked reader of snapshot buffer
If an application blocks on the snapshot or snapshot_raw files, expecting
to be woken up when a snapshot occurs, it will not happen. Or it may
happen with an unexpected result.
That result is that the application will be reading the main buffer
instead of the snapshot buffer. That is because when the snapshot occurs,
the main and snapshot buffers are swapped. But the reader has a descriptor
still pointing to the buffer that it originally connected to.
This is fine for the main buffer readers, as they may be blocked waiting
for a watermark to be hit, and when a snapshot occurs, the data that the
main readers want is now on the snapshot buffer.
But for waiters of the snapshot buffer, they are waiting for an event to
occur that will trigger the snapshot and they can then consume it quickly
to save the snapshot before the next snapshot occurs. But to do this, they
need to read the new snapshot buffer, not the old one that is now
receiving new data.
Also, it does not make sense to have a watermark "buffer_percent" on the
snapshot buffer, as the snapshot buffer is static and does not receive new
data except all at once.

tracing: Update subbuffer with kilobytes not page order
Using page order for deciding what the size of the ring buffer sub buffers are is exposing a bit too much of the implementation. Although the sub buffers are only allocated in orders of pages, allow the user to specify the minimum size of each sub-buffer via kilobytes like they can with the buffer size itself. If the user specifies 3 via: echo 3 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb Then the sub-buffer size will round up to 4kb (on a 4kb page size system). If they specify: echo 6 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb The sub-buffer size will become 8kb. and so on.

ring-buffer: Make sure the spare sub buffer used for reads has same size
Now that the ring buffer specifies the size of its sub buffers, they all need to be the same size. When doing a read, a swap is done with a spare page. Make sure they are the same size before doing the swap, otherwise the read will fail.

ring-buffer: Read and write to ring buffers with custom sub buffer size
As the size of the ring sub buffer page can be changed dynamically, the logic that reads and writes to the buffer should be fixed to take that into account.

ring-buffer: Add interface for configuring trace sub buffer size
The trace ring buffer sub page size can be configured, per trace instance. A new ftrace file "buffer_subbuf_order" is added to get and set the size of the ring buffer sub page for current trace instance. The size must be an order of system page size, that's why the new interface works with system page order, instead of absolute page size: 0 means the ring buffer sub page is equal to 1 system page and so forth: 0 - 1 system page 1 - 2 system pages 2 - 4 system pages ... The ring buffer sub page size is limited between 1 and 128 system pages. The default value is 1 system page.

There's no reason to give an arbitrary limit to the size of a raw trace marker. Just let it be as big as the size that is allowed by the ring buffer itself.

If a trace_marker write is bigger than what trace_seq can hold, then it will print "LINE TOO BIG" message and not what was written.

tracing: Allow creating instances with specified system events
A trace instance may only need to enable specific events. As the eventfs directory of an instance currently creates all events which adds overhead, allow internal instances to be created with just the events in systems that they care about. This currently only deals with systems and not individual events, but this should bring down the overhead of creating instances for specific use cases quite bit. The trace_array_get_by_name() now has another parameter "systems". This parameter is a const string pointer of a comma/space separated list of event systems that should be created by the trace_array. (Note if the trace_array already exists, this parameter is ignored). The list of systems is saved and if a module is loaded, its events will not be added unless the system for those events also match the systems string.

tracing: Update snapshot buffer on resize if it is allocated
The snapshot buffer is to mimic the main buffer so that when a snapshot is
needed, the snapshot and main buffer are swapped. When the snapshot buffer
is allocated, it is set to the minimal size that the ring buffer may be at
and still functional. When it is allocated it becomes the same size as the
main ring buffer, and when the main ring buffer changes in size, it should
do.
Currently, the resize only updates the snapshot buffer if it's used by the
current tracer (ie. the preemptirqsoff tracer). But it needs to be updated
anytime it is allocated.
When changing the size of the main buffer, instead of looking to see if
the current tracer is utilizing the snapshot buffer, just check if it is
allocated to know if it should be updated or not.
Also fix typo in comment just above the code change.

tracing: Fix a possible race when disabling buffered events
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is responsible for freeing pages
backing buffered events and this process can run concurrently with
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve().
The following race is currently possible:
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called on CPU 0. It
increments trace_buffered_event_cnt on each CPU and waits via
synchronize_rcu() for each user of trace_buffered_event to complete.
* After synchronize_rcu() is finished, function
trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to
trace_buffered_event. All counters trace_buffered_event_cnt are at 1
and all pointers trace_buffered_event are still valid.
* At this point, on a different CPU 1, the execution reaches
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve(). The function calls
preempt_disable_notrace() and only now enters an RCU read-side
critical section. The function proceeds and reads a still valid
pointer from trace_buffered_event[CPU1] into the local variable
"entry". However, it doesn't yet read trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1]
which happens later.
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() continues. It frees
trace_buffered_event[CPU1] and decrements
trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] back to 0.
* Function trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() continues. It reads and
increments trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU1] from 0 to 1. This makes it
believe that it can use the "entry" that it already obtained but the
pointer is now invalid and any access results in a use-after-free.
Fix the problem by making a second synchronize_rcu() call after all
trace_buffered_event values are set to NULL. This waits on all potential
users in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() that still read a previous
pointer from trace_buffered_event.

tracing: Fix a warning when allocating buffered events fails
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() produces an unexpected warning
when the previous call to trace_buffered_event_enable() fails to
allocate pages for buffered events.
The situation can occur as follows:
* The counter trace_buffered_event_ref is at 0.
* The soft mode gets enabled for some event and
trace_buffered_event_enable() is called. The function increments
trace_buffered_event_ref to 1 and starts allocating event pages.
* The allocation fails for some page and trace_buffered_event_disable()
is called for cleanup.
* Function trace_buffered_event_disable() decrements
trace_buffered_event_ref back to 0, recognizes that it was the last
use of buffered events and frees all allocated pages.
* The control goes back to trace_buffered_event_enable() which returns.
The caller of trace_buffered_event_enable() has no information that
the function actually failed.
* Some time later, the soft mode is disabled for the same event.
Function trace_buffered_event_disable() is called. It warns on
"WARN_ON_ONCE(!trace_buffered_event_ref)" and returns.
Buffered events are just an optimization and can handle failures. Make
trace_buffered_event_enable() exit on the first failure and left any
cleanup later to when trace_buffered_event_disable() is called.

It happens because the active ring_buffer_event doesn't actually come from the ring_buffer_per_cpu but is allocated from trace_buffered_event. The bug is in function trace_buffered_event_disable() where the following normally happens: * The code invokes disable_trace_buffered_event() via smp_call_function_many() and follows it by synchronize_rcu(). This increments the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event_cnt on each target CPU and grants trace_buffered_event_disable() the exclusive access to the per-CPU variable trace_buffered_event. * Maintenance is performed on trace_buffered_event, all per-CPU event buffers get freed. * The code invokes enable_trace_buffered_event() via smp_call_function_many(). This decrements trace_buffered_event_cnt and releases the access to trace_buffered_event. A problem is that smp_call_function_many() runs a given function on all target CPUs except on the current one. The following can then occur: * Task X executing trace_buffered_event_disable() runs on CPU 0. * The control reaches synchronize_rcu() and the task gets rescheduled on another CPU 1. * The RCU synchronization finishes. At this point, trace_buffered_event_disable() has the exclusive access to all trace_buffered_event variables except trace_buffered_event[CPU0] because trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is never incremented and if the buffer is currently unused, remains set to 0. * A different task Y is scheduled on CPU 0 and hits a trace event. The code in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() sees that trace_buffered_event_cnt[CPU0] is set to 0 and decides the use the buffer provided by trace_buffered_event[CPU0]. * Task X continues its execution in trace_buffered_event_disable(). The code incorrectly frees the event buffer pointed by trace_buffered_event[CPU0] and resets the variable to NULL. * Task Y writes event data to the now freed buffer and later detects the created inconsistency. The issue is observable since commit |

tracing: Disable snapshot buffer when stopping instance tracers
It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for
latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). When stopping a tracer in an
instance would not disable the snapshot buffer. This could have some
unintended consequences if the irqsoff tracer is enabled.
Consolidate the tracing_start/stop() with tracing_start/stop_tr() so that
all instances behave the same. The tracing_start/stop() functions will
just call their respective tracing_start/stop_tr() with the global_array
passed in.

tracing: Stop current tracer when resizing buffer
When the ring buffer is being resized, it can cause side effects to the
running tracer. For instance, there's a race with irqsoff tracer that
swaps individual per cpu buffers between the main buffer and the snapshot
buffer. The resize operation modifies the main buffer and then the
snapshot buffer. If a swap happens in between those two operations it will
break the tracer.
Simply stop the running tracer before resizing the buffers and enable it
again when finished.

tracing: Always update snapshot buffer size
It use to be that only the top level instance had a snapshot buffer (for
latency tracers like wakeup and irqsoff). The update of the ring buffer
size would check if the instance was the top level and if so, it would
also update the snapshot buffer as it needs to be the same as the main
buffer.
Now that lower level instances also has a snapshot buffer, they too need
to update their snapshot buffer sizes when the main buffer is changed,
otherwise the following can be triggered:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 1500 > buffer_size_kb
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo irqsoff > instances/foo/current_tracer
# echo 1000 > instances/foo/buffer_size_kb
Produces:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 856 at kernel/trace/trace.c:1938 update_max_tr_single.part.0+0x27d/0x320
Which is:
ret = ring_buffer_swap_cpu(tr->max_buffer.buffer, tr->array_buffer.buffer, cpu);
if (ret == -EBUSY) {
[..]
}
WARN_ON_ONCE(ret && ret != -EAGAIN && ret != -EBUSY); <== here
That's because ring_buffer_swap_cpu() has:
int ret = -EINVAL;
[..]
/* At least make sure the two buffers are somewhat the same */
if (cpu_buffer_a->nr_pages != cpu_buffer_b->nr_pages)
goto out;
[..]
out:
return ret;
}
Instead, update all instances' snapshot buffer sizes when their main
buffer size is updated.
