After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events, which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the application to start writing to the kernel. See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/ - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their own trampoline for performance reasons. - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed as dynamic events. - More updates to references to the obsolete path of /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path. - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line by line instead of all at once. There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print. Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that. - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by a bpf program or live patching. - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of the events. It's easier to read by humans. - Some minor fixes and clean ups. * tag 'trace-v6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (41 commits) ring-buffer: Sync IRQ works before buffer destruction tracing: Add missing spaces in trace_print_hex_seq() ring-buffer: Ensure proper resetting of atomic variables in ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus recordmcount: Fix memory leaks in the uwrite function tracing/user_events: Limit max fault-in attempts tracing/user_events: Prevent same address and bit per process tracing/user_events: Ensure bit is cleared on unregister tracing/user_events: Ensure write index cannot be negative seq_buf: Add seq_buf_do_printk() helper tracing: Fix print_fields() for __dyn_loc/__rel_loc tracing/user_events: Set event filter_type from type ring-buffer: Clearly check null ptr returned by rb_set_head_page() tracing: Unbreak user events tracing/user_events: Use print_format_fields() for trace output tracing/user_events: Align structs with tabs for readability tracing/user_events: Limit global user_event count tracing/user_events: Charge event allocs to cgroups tracing/user_events: Update documentation for ABI tracing/user_events: Use write ABI in example tracing/user_events: Add ABI self-test ...

The number of increases and decreases on both cpu_buffer->resize_disabled and cpu_buffer->record_disabled may be inconsistent, causing some CPUs to have non-zero values for these atomic variables after the function returns. This issue can be reproduced by "echo 0 > trace" while hotplugging cpu. After reproducing success, we can find out buffer_size_kb will not be functional anymore. To prevent leaving 'resize_disabled' and 'record_disabled' non-zero after ring_buffer_reset_online_cpus returns, we ensure that each atomic variable has been set up before atomic_sub() to it.

| * ring_buffer: Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchgUros Bizjak2023-03-211-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in front of cmpxchg). Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop. No functional change intended.

* | ring-buffer: Fix race while reader and writer are on the same pageZheng Yejian2023-04-031-1/+12
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When user reads file 'trace_pipe', kernel keeps printing following logs that warn at "cpu_buffer->reader_page->read > rb_page_size(reader)" in rb_get_reader_page(). It just looks like there's an infinite loop in tracing_read_pipe(). This problem occurs several times on arm64 platform when testing v5.10 and below. Call trace: rb_get_reader_page+0x248/0x1300 rb_buffer_peek+0x34/0x160 ring_buffer_peek+0xbc/0x224 peek_next_entry+0x98/0xbc __find_next_entry+0xc4/0x1c0 trace_find_next_entry_inc+0x30/0x94 tracing_read_pipe+0x198/0x304 vfs_read+0xb4/0x1e0 ksys_read+0x74/0x100 __arm64_sys_read+0x24/0x30 el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0x7c/0x1bc do_el0_svc+0x2c/0x94 el0_svc+0x20/0x30 el0_sync_handler+0xb0/0xb4 el0_sync+0x160/0x180 Then I dump the vmcore and look into the problematic per_cpu ring_buffer, I found that tail_page/commit_page/reader_page are on the same page while reader_page->read is obviously abnormal: tail_page == commit_page == reader_page == { .write = 0x100d20, .read = 0x8f9f4805, // Far greater than 0xd20, obviously abnormal!!! .entries = 0x10004c, .real_end = 0x0, .page = { .time_stamp = 0x857257416af0, .commit = 0xd20, // This page hasn't been full filled. // .data[0...0xd20] seems normal. } } The root cause is most likely the race that reader and writer are on the same page while reader saw an event that not fully committed by writer. To fix this, add memory barriers to make sure the reader can see the content of what is committed. Since commit a0fcaaed0c46 ("ring-buffer: Fix race between reset page and reading page") has added the read barrier in rb_get_reader_page(), here we just need to add the write barrier.

But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many comments and Kconfig help messages in the tracing code still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

* ring-buffer: Handle resize in early boot upSteven Rostedt2022-12-101-7/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the new command line option that allows trace event triggers to be added at boot, the "snapshot" trigger will allocate the snapshot buffer very early, when interrupts can not be enabled. Allocating the ring buffer is not the problem, but it also resizes it, which is, as the resize code does synchronization that can not be preformed at early boot. To handle this, first change the raw_spin_lock_irq() in rb_insert_pages() to raw_spin_lock_irqsave(), such that the unlocking of that spin lock will not enable interrupts. Next, where it calls schedule_work_on(), disable migration and check if the CPU to update is the current CPU, and if so, perform the work directly, otherwise re-enable migration and call the schedule_work_on() to the CPU that is being updated. The rb_insert_pages() just needs to be run on the CPU that it is updating, and does not need preemption nor interrupts disabled when calling it.

* ring-buffer: Include dropped pages in counting dirty patchesSteven Rostedt (Google)2022-11-161-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function ring_buffer_nr_dirty_pages() was created to find out how many pages are filled in the ring buffer. There's two running counters. One is incremented whenever a new page is touched (pages_touched) and the other is whenever a page is read (pages_read). The dirty count is the number touched minus the number read. This is used to determine if a blocked task should be woken up if the percentage of the ring buffer it is waiting for is hit. The problem is that it does not take into account dropped pages (when the new writes overwrite pages that were not read). And then the dirty pages will always be greater than the percentage. This makes the "buffer_percent" file inaccurate, as the number of dirty pages end up always being larger than the percentage, event when it's not and this causes user space to be woken up more than it wants to be. Add a new counter to keep track of lost pages, and include that in the accounting of dirty pages so that it is actually accurate.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the way polling works on the ring buffer is broken. It will return immediately if there's any data in the ring buffer whereas a read will block until the watermark (defined by the tracefs buffer_percent file) is hit. That is, a select() or poll() will return as if there's data available, but then the following read will block. This is broken for the way select()s and poll()s are supposed to work. Have the polling on the ring buffer also block the same way reads and splice does on the ring buffer.

* ring-buffer: Check for NULL cpu_buffer in ring_buffer_wake_waiters()Steven Rostedt (Google)2022-11-021-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some machines the number of listed CPUs may be bigger than the actual CPUs that exist. The tracing subsystem allocates a per_cpu directory with access to the per CPU ring buffer via a cpuX file. But to save space, the ring buffer will only allocate buffers for online CPUs, even though the CPU array will be as big as the nr_cpu_ids. With the addition of waking waiters on the ring buffer when closing the file, the ring_buffer_wake_waiters() now needs to make sure that the buffer is allocated (with the irq_work allocated with it) before trying to wake waiters, as it will cause a NULL pointer dereference. While debugging this, I added a NULL check for the buffer itself (which is OK to do), and also NULL pointer checks against buffer->buffers (which is not fine, and will WARN) as well as making sure the CPU number passed in is within the nr_cpu_ids (which is also not fine if it isn't).

* ring-buffer: Fix race between reset page and reading pageSteven Rostedt (Google)2022-09-291-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ring buffer is broken up into sub buffers (currently of page size). Each sub buffer has a pointer to its "tail" (the last event written to the sub buffer). When a new event is requested, the tail is locally incremented to cover the size of the new event. This is done in a way that there is no need for locking. If the tail goes past the end of the sub buffer, the process of moving to the next sub buffer takes place. After setting the current sub buffer to the next one, the previous one that had the tail go passed the end of the sub buffer needs to be reset back to the original tail location (before the new event was requested) and the rest of the sub buffer needs to be "padded". The race happens when a reader takes control of the sub buffer. As readers do a "swap" of sub buffers from the ring buffer to get exclusive access to the sub buffer, it replaces the "head" sub buffer with an empty sub buffer that goes back into the writable portion of the ring buffer. This swap can happen as soon as the writer moves to the next sub buffer and before it updates the last sub buffer with padding. Because the sub buffer can be released to the reader while the writer is still updating the padding, it is possible for the reader to see the event that goes past the end of the sub buffer. This can cause obvious issues. To fix this, add a few memory barriers so that the reader definitely sees the updates to the sub buffer, and also waits until the writer has put back the "tail" of the sub buffer back to the last event that was written on it. To be paranoid, it will only spin for 1 second, otherwise it will warn and shutdown the ring buffer code. 1 second should be enough as the writer does have preemption disabled. If the writer doesn't move within 1 second (with preemption disabled) something is horribly wrong. No interrupt should last 1 second!

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The wake up waiters only checks the "wakeup_full" variable and not the "full_waiters_pending".

The wakeup_full is only set when an event is triggered, and it clears the full_waiters_pending to avoid multiple calls to irq_work_queue(). The irq_work callback really needs to check both wakeup_full as well as full_waiters_pending such that this code can be used to wake up waiters when a file is closed that represents the ring buffer and the waiters need to be woken up.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a page is partially read, and then the splice system call is run against the ring buffer, it will always fail to read, no matter how much is in the ring buffer. That's because the code path for a partial read of the page does will fail if the "full" flag is set. The splice system call wants full pages, so if the read of the ring buffer is not yet full, it should return zero, and the splice will block. But if a previous read was done, where the beginning has been consumed, it should still be given to the splice caller if the rest of the page has been written to. This caused the splice command to never consume data in this scenario, and let the ring buffer just fill up and lose events.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the new logic was made to handle deltas of events from interrupts that interrupted other events, it required 64 bit local atomics. Unfortunately, 64 bit local atomics are expensive on 32 bit architectures. Thus, commit 10464b4aa605e ("ring-buffer: Add rb_time_t 64 bit operations for speeding up 32 bit") created a type of seq lock timer for 32 bits. It used two 32 bit local atomics, but required 2 bits from them each for synchronization, making it only 60 bits. Add a new "msb" field to hold the extra 4 bits that are cut off.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's an absolute timestamp event in the ring buffer, but this only saves 59 bits of the timestamp, as the 5 MSB is used for meta data (stating it is an absolute time stamp). This was never an issue as all the clocks currently in use never used those 5 MSB. But now there's a new clock (TAI) that does. To handle this case, when reading an absolute timestamp, a previous full timestamp is passed in, and the 5 MSB of that timestamp is OR'd to the absolute timestamp (if any of the 5 MSB are set), and then to test for overflow, if the new result is smaller than the passed in previous timestamp, then 1 << 59 is added to it. All the extra processing is done on the reader "slow" path, with the exception of the "too big delta" check, and the reading of timestamps for histograms. Note, libtraceevent will need to be updated to handle this case as well. But this is not a user space regression, as user space was never able to handle any timestamps that used more than 59 bits.

* tracing: Fix bug in rb_per_cpu_empty() that might cause deadloop.Haoran Luo2021-07-221-4/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "rb_per_cpu_empty()" misinterpret the condition (as not-empty) when "head_page" and "commit_page" of "struct ring_buffer_per_cpu" points to the same buffer page, whose "buffer_data_page" is empty and "read" field is non-zero. An error scenario could be constructed as followed (kernel perspective): 1. All pages in the buffer has been accessed by reader(s) so that all of them will have non-zero "read" field. 2. Read and clear all buffer pages so that "rb_num_of_entries()" will return 0 rendering there's no more data to read. It is also required that the "read_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same page, while "head_page" is the next page of them. 3. Invoke "ring_buffer_lock_reserve()" with large enough "length" so that it shot pass the end of current tail buffer page. Now the "head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same page. 4. Discard current event with "ring_buffer_discard_commit()", so that "head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to a page whose buffer data page is now empty. When the error scenario has been constructed, "tracing_read_pipe" will be trapped inside a deadloop: "trace_empty()" returns 0 since "rb_per_cpu_empty()" returns 0 when it hits the CPU containing such constructed ring buffer. Then "trace_find_next_entry_inc()" always return NULL since "rb_num_of_entries()" reports there's no more entry to read. Finally "trace_seq_to_user()" returns "-EBUSY" spanking "tracing_read_pipe" back to the start of the "waitagain" loop. I've also written a proof-of-concept script to construct the scenario and trigger the bug automatically, you can use it to trace and validate my reasoning above: https://github.com/aegistudio/RingBufferDetonator.git Tests has been carried out on linux kernel 5.14-rc2 (2734d6c1b1a089fb593ef6a23d4b70903526fe0c), my fixed version of kernel (for testing whether my update fixes the bug) and some older kernels (for range of affected kernels). Test result is also attached to the proof-of-concept repository.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() must be only called by an event that has not been committed yet, and is on the buffer that is passed in. This was used to help debug converting the histogram logic over to using the new time stamp code, and was proven to be very useful. Add a verifier that can check that this is the case, and extra WARN_ONs to catch unexpected use cases.

This will allow ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() to be used in more cases than just histograms, and it will also allow histograms to not require including absolute values all the time.

* ring-buffer: Force before_stamp and write_stamp to be different on discardSteven Rostedt (VMware)2021-03-041-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Part of the logic of the new time stamp code depends on the before_stamp and the write_stamp to be different if the write_stamp does not match the last event on the buffer, as it will be used to calculate the delta of the next event written on the buffer. The discard logic depends on this, as the next event to come in needs to inject a full timestamp as it can not rely on the last event timestamp in the buffer because it is unknown due to events after it being discarded. But by changing the write_stamp back to the time before it, it forces the next event to use a full time stamp, instead of relying on it. The issue came when a full time stamp was used for the event, and rb_time_delta() returns zero in that case. The update to the write_stamp (which subtracts delta) made it not change. Then when the event is removed from the buffer, because the before_stamp and write_stamp still match, the next event written would calculate its delta from the write_stamp, but that would be wrong as the write_stamp is of the time of the event that was discarded. In the case that the delta change being made to write_stamp is zero, set the before_stamp to zero as well, and this will force the next event to inject a full timestamp and not use the current write_stamp.

Currently, only x86_64 enables it. All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception (needed for kprobes). A new config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at most every event recorded. Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those callbacks). Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do it for it (saving on that extra function call). New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer. This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the function tracer. The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.
