* tracepoint: Allow livepatch module add trace eventJianlin Lv2023-02-181-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the case of keeping the system running, the preferred method for tracing the kernel is dynamic tracing (kprobe), but the drawback of this method is that events are lost, especially when tracing packages in the network stack. Livepatching provides a potential solution, which is to reimplement the function you want to replace and insert a static tracepoint. In such a way, custom stable static tracepoints can be expanded without rebooting the system.

* tracepoint: Allow trace events in modules with TAINT_TESTAlison Schofield2022-09-061-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2852ca7fba9f ("panic: Taint kernel if tests are run") introduced a new taint type, TAINT_TEST, to signal that an in-kernel test module has been loaded. TAINT_TEST taint type defaults into a 'bad_taint' list for kernel tracing and blocks the creation of trace events. This causes a problem for CXL testing where loading the cxl_test module makes all CXL modules out-of-tree, blocking any trace events. Trace events are in development for CXL at the moment and this issue was found in test with v6.0-rc1.

* tracepoint: Use rcu get state and cond sync for static call updatesMathieu Desnoyers2021-08-061-14/+67
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | State transitions from 1->0->1 and N->2->1 callbacks require RCU synchronization. Rather than performing the RCU synchronization every time the state change occurs, which is quite slow when many tracepoints are registered in batch, instead keep a snapshot of the RCU state on the most recent transitions which belong to a chain, and conditionally wait for a grace period on the last transition of the chain if one g.p. has not elapsed since the last snapshot. This applies to both RCU and SRCU. This brings the performance regression caused by commit 231264d6927f ("Fix: tracepoint: static call function vs data state mismatch") back to what it was originally.

* tracepoint: Fix static call function vs data state mismatchMathieu Desnoyers2021-08-051-20/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On a 1->0->1 callbacks transition, there is an issue with the new callback using the old callback's data. Considering __DO_TRACE_CALL: do { \ struct tracepoint_func *it_func_ptr; \ void *__data; \ it_func_ptr = \ rcu_dereference_raw((&__tracepoint_##name)->funcs); \ if (it_func_ptr) { \ __data = (it_func_ptr)->data; \ ----> [ delayed here on one CPU (e.g. vcpu preempted by the host) ] static_call(tp_func_##name)(__data, args); \ } \ } while (0) It has loaded the tp->funcs of the old callback, so it will try to use the old data. This can be fixed by adding a RCU sync anywhere in the 1->0->1 transition chain. On a N->2->1 transition, we need an rcu-sync because you may have a sequence of 3->2->1 (or 1->2->1) where the element 0 data is unchanged between 2->1, but was changed from 3->2 (or from 1->2), which may be observed by the static call. This can be fixed by adding an unconditional RCU sync in transition 2->1. Note, this fixes a correctness issue at the cost of adding a tremendous performance regression to the disabling of tracepoints. Before this commit: # trace-cmd start -e all # time trace-cmd start -p nop real 0m0.778s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.061s After this commit: # trace-cmd start -e all # time trace-cmd start -p nop real 0m10.593s user 0m0.017s sys 0m0.259s A follow up fix will introduce a more lightweight scheme based on RCU get_state and cond_sync, that will return the performance back to what it was. As both this change and the lightweight versions are complex on their own, for bisecting any issues that this may cause, they are kept as two separate changes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On transition from 2->1 callees, we should be comparing .data rather than .func, because the same callback can be registered twice with different data, and what we care about here is that the data of array element 0 is unchanged to skip rcu sync.

* tracepoints: Update static_call before tp_funcs when adding a tracepointSteven Rostedt (VMware)2021-07-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because of the significant overhead that retpolines pose on indirect calls, the tracepoint code was updated to use the new "static_calls" that can modify the running code to directly call a function instead of using an indirect caller, and this function can be changed at runtime. In the tracepoint code that calls all the registered callbacks that are attached to a tracepoint, the following is done: it_func_ptr = rcu_dereference_raw((&__tracepoint_##name)->funcs); if (it_func_ptr) { __data = (it_func_ptr)->data; static_call(tp_func_##name)(__data, args); } If there's just a single callback, the static_call is updated to just call that callback directly. Once another handler is added, then the static caller is updated to call the iterator, that simply loops over all the funcs in the array and calls each of the callbacks like the old method using indirect calling. The issue was discovered with a race between updating the funcs array and updating the static_call. The funcs array was updated first and then the static_call was updated. This is not an issue as long as the first element in the old array is the same as the first element in the new array. But that assumption is incorrect, because callbacks also have a priority field, and if there's a callback added that has a higher priority than the callback on the old array, then it will become the first callback in the new array. This means that it is possible to call the old callback with the new callback data element, which can cause a kernel panic. static_call = callback1() funcs[] = {callback1,data1}; callback2 has higher priority than callback1 CPU 1 CPU 2 ----- ----- new_funcs = {callback2,data2}, {callback1,data1} rcu_assign_pointer(tp->funcs, new_funcs); /* * Now tp->funcs has the new array * but the static_call still calls callback1 */ it_func_ptr = tp->funcs [ new_funcs ] data = it_func_ptr->data [ data2 ] static_call(callback1, data); /* Now callback1 is called with * callback2's data */ [ KERNEL PANIC ] update_static_call(iterator); To prevent this from happening, always switch the static_call to the iterator before assigning the tp->funcs to the new array. The iterator will always properly match the callback with its data. To trigger this bug: In one terminal: while :; do hackbench 50; done In another terminal echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/enable while :; do echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event_pid; sleep 0.5 echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event_pid; sleep 0.5 done And it doesn't take long to crash. This is because the set_event_pid adds a callback to the sched_waking tracepoint with a high priority, which will be called before the sched_waking trace event callback is called. Note, the removal to a single callback updates the array first, before changing the static_call to single callback, which is the proper order as the first element in the array is the same as what the static_call is being changed to.

* tracepoint: Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() for BPF tracingSteven Rostedt (VMware)2021-06-291-3/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All internal use cases for tracepoint_probe_register() is set to not ever be called with the same function and data. If it is, it is considered a bug, as that means the accounting of handling tracepoints is corrupted. If the function and data for a tracepoint is already registered when tracepoint_probe_register() is called, it will call WARN_ON_ONCE() and return with EEXISTS. The BPF system call can end up calling tracepoint_probe_register() with the same data, which now means that this can trigger the warning because of a user space process. As WARN_ON_ONCE() should not be called because user space called a system call with bad data, there needs to be a way to register a tracepoint without triggering a warning. Enter tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist(), which can be called, but will not cause a WARN_ON() if the probe already exists. It will still error out with EEXIST, which will then be sent to the user space that performed the BPF system call. This keeps the previous testing for issues with other users of the tracepoint code, while letting BPF call it with duplicated data and not warn about it.

* tracepoint: Do not fail unregistering a probe due to memory failureSteven Rostedt (VMware)2021-02-021-16/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The list of tracepoint callbacks is managed by an array that is protected by RCU. To update this array, a new array is allocated, the updates are copied over to the new array, and then the list of functions for the tracepoint is switched over to the new array. After a completion of an RCU grace period, the old array is freed. This process happens for both adding a callback as well as removing one. But on removing a callback, if the new array fails to be allocated, the callback is not removed, and may be used after it is freed by the clients of the tracepoint. There's really no reason to fail if the allocation for a new array fails when removing a function. Instead, the function can simply be replaced by a stub function that could be cleaned up on the next modification of the array. That is, instead of calling the function registered to the tracepoint, it would call a stub function in its place.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Naresh reported a bug that appears to be a side effect of the static calls. It happens when going from more than one tracepoint callback to a single one, and removing the first callback on the list. The list of tracepoint callbacks holds data and a function to call with the parameters of that tracepoint and a handler to the associated data. old_list: 0: func = foo; data = NULL; 1: func = bar; data = &bar_struct; new_list: 0: func = bar; data = &bar_struct; CPU 0 CPU 1 ----- ----- tp_funcs = old_list; tp_static_caller = tp_interator __DO_TRACE() data = tp_funcs[0].data = NULL; tp_funcs = new_list; tracepoint_update_call() tp_static_caller = tp_funcs[0] = bar; tp_static_caller(data) bar(data) x = data->item = NULL->item BOOM! To solve this, add a tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() between changing tp_funcs and updating the static tracepoint, that does both a synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_srcu(). This will ensure that when the static call is updated to the single callback that it will be receiving the data that it registered with.

Using static_call() it is possible to optimize this for the common case of only having a single handler registered. In this case the static_call() can directly call this handler. Otherwise, if the vector is longer than 1, call a function that iterates the whole vector like the current code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct tp_probes { ... struct tracepoint_func probes[0]; }; instance = kmalloc(sizeof(sizeof(struct tp_probes) + sizeof(struct tracepoint_func) * count, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, probes, count) GFP_KERNEL); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

However, it does so without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect: Setting mod->num_tracepoints is done in by module.c: mod->tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs", sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs), &mod->num_tracepoints); Basically, since sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size (rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer division. So in the module going notifier: for_each_tracepoint_range(mod->tracepoints_ptrs, mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints, tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL); the expression (mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints) actually evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch. Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations, or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have this feature. Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation. This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed before the end of the rc cycle.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In recent tests with IRQ on/off tracepoints, a large performance overhead ~10% is noticed when running hackbench. This is root caused to calls to rcu_irq_enter_irqson and rcu_irq_exit_irqson from the tracepoint code. Following a long discussion on the list [1] about this, we concluded that srcu is a better alternative for use during rcu idle. Although it does involve extra barriers, its lighter than the sched-rcu version which has to do additional RCU calls to notify RCU idle about entry into RCU sections. In this patch, we change the underlying implementation of the trace_*_rcuidle API to use SRCU. This has shown to improve performance alot for the high frequency irq enable/disable tracepoints. Test: Tested idle and preempt/irq tracepoints. Here are some performance numbers: With a run of the following 30 times on a single core x86 Qemu instance with 1GB memory: hackbench -g 4 -f 2 -l 3000 Completion times in seconds.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tracepoint should only warn when a kernel API user does not respect the required preconditions (e.g. same tracepoint enabled twice, or called to remove a tracepoint that does not exist). Silence warning in out-of-memory conditions, given that the error is returned to the caller. This ensures that out-of-memory error-injection testing does not trigger warnings in tracepoint.c, which were seen by syzbot.

* tracepoint: Give priority to probes of tracepointsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2015-10-251-11/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to guarantee that a probe will be called before other probes that are attached to a tracepoint, there needs to be a mechanism to provide priority of one probe over the others. Adding a prio field to the struct tracepoint_func, which lets the probes be sorted by the priority set in the structure. If no priority is specified, then a priority of 10 is given (this is a macro, and perhaps may be changed in the future). Now probes may be added to affect other probes that are attached to a tracepoint with a guaranteed order. One use case would be to allow tracing of tracepoints be able to filter by pid. A special (higher priority probe) may be added to the sched_switch tracepoint and set the necessary flags of the other tracepoints to notify them if they should be traced or not. In case a tracepoint is enabled at the sched_switch tracepoint too, the order of the two are not random.

The unnecessary report from ret_from_fork path mentioned by cc3b13c1 is no longer possible, see See commit fb45550d76bb5 "make sure that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves". A kernel_thread() callback can only return and take the int_ret_from_sys_call path after do_execve() succeeds, otherwise the kernel will crash.

The design was for an out of tree module but broke in tree users. The clean up was to remove the saving of the hash table of tracepoint names such that they can be enabled before they exist (enabling a module tracepoint before that module is loaded). This added more complexity than needed. The clean up was to remove that code and just enable tracepoints that exist or fail if they do not. This removed a lot of code as well as the complexity that it brought. As a side effect, instead of registering a tracepoint by its name, the tracepoint needs to be registered with the tracepoint descriptor. This removes having to duplicate the tracepoint names that are enabled. The second patch was added that simplified the way modules were searched for. This cleanup required changes that were in the 3.15 queue as well as some changes that were added late in the 3.14-rc cycle. This final change waited till the two were merged in upstream and then the change was added and full tests were run. Unfortunately, the test found some errors, but after it was already submitted to the for-next branch and not to be rebased.

This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux size. From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated tracepoint is unloaded. text data bss dec hex filename 10443444 4282528 10391552 25117524 17f4354 vmlinux.orig 10434930 4282848 10391552 25109330 17f2352 vmlinux Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1396992381-23785-2-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com CC: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> CC: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> CC: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> CC: Frank Ch.

This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules (TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y. Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules. With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag. Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint within this module. Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed by Steven Rostedt). Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list for the sake of completeness.

That is, you can now trace some functions in one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer and so on. They are basically agnostic from each other.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tracepoints were made to allow enabling a tracepoint in a module before that module was loaded. When a tracepoint is enabled and it does not exist, the name is stored and will be enabled when the tracepoint is created. The problem with this approach is that when a tracepoint is enabled when it expects to be there, it gives no warning that it does not exist. To add salt to the wound, if a module is added and sets the FORCED flag, which can happen if it isn't signed properly, the tracepoint code will not enabled the tracepoints, but they will be created in the debugfs system! When a user goes to enable the tracepoint, the tracepoint code will not see it existing and will think it is to be enabled later AND WILL NOT GIVE A WARNING. The tracing will look like it succeeded but will actually be doing nothing. This will cause lots of confusion and headaches for developers trying to figure out why they are not seeing their tracepoints.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a module fails to add its tracepoints due to module tainting, do not create the module event infrastructure in the debugfs directory. As the events will not work and worse yet, they will silently fail, making the user wonder why the events they enable do not display anything. Having a warning on module load and the events not visible to the users will make the cause of the problem much clearer.

I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event. Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers (ie function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only be written to the main buffer. 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended. The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable an event to be traced when a function is hit. 3) A perf clock has been added. A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis." * tag 'trace-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (82 commits) tracepoints: Prevent null probe from being added tracing: Compare to 1 instead of zero for is_signed_type() tracing: Remove obsolete macro guard _TRACE_PROFILE_INIT ftrace: Get rid of ftrace_profile_bits tracing: Check return value of tracing_init_dentry() tracing: Get rid of unneeded key calculation in ftrace_hash_move() tracing: Reset ftrace_graph_filter_enabled if count is zero tracing: Fix off-by-one on allocating stat->pages kernel: tracing: Use strlcpy instead of strncpy tracing: Update debugfs README file tracing: Fix ftrace_dump() tracing: Rename trace_event_mutex to trace_event_sem tracing: Fix comment about prefix in arch_syscall_match_sym_name() tracing: Convert trace_destroy_fields() to static tracing: Move find_event_field() into trace_events.c tracing: Use TRACE_MAX_PRINT instead of constant tracing: Use pr_warn_once instead of open coded implementation ring-buffer: Add ring buffer startup selftest tracing: Bring Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt up to date tracing: Add "perf" trace_clock ...
