git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "A regression showed up that there's a large delay when enabling all events. This was prevalent when FTRACE_SELFTEST was enabled which enables all events several times, and caused the system bootup to pause for over a minute. This was tracked down to an addition of a synchronize_sched() performed when system call tracepoints are unregistered. The synchronize_sched() is needed between the unregistering of the system call tracepoint and a deletion of a tracing instance buffer. But placing the synchronize_sched() in the unreg of *every* system call tracepoint is a bit overboard. A single synchronize_sched() before the deletion of the instance is sufficient" * tag 'trace-fixes-3.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: tracing: Only run synchronize_sched() at instance deletion time
2013-12-05tracing: Only run synchronize_sched() at instance deletion timeSteven Rostedt
It has been reported that boot up with FTRACE_SELFTEST enabled can take a very long time. There can be stalls of over a minute. This was tracked down to the synchronize_sched() called when a system call event is disabled. As the self tests enable and disable thousands of events, this makes the synchronize_sched() get called thousands of times. The synchornize_sched() was added with d562aff93bfb53 "tracing: Add support for SOFT_DISABLE to syscall events" which caused this regression (added in 3.13-rc1). The synchronize_sched() is to protect against the events being accessed when a tracer instance is being deleted. When an instance is being deleted all the events associated to it are unregistered. The synchronize_sched() makes sure that no more users are running when it finishes. Instead of calling synchronize_sched() for all syscall events, we only need to call it once, after the events are unregistered and before the instance is deleted. The event_mutex is held during this action to prevent new users from enabling events.

Well, it covered the function tracer by adding checks in __register_ftrace_function(). The problem is that the function graph tracer circumvents that (for a slight efficiency gain when function graph trace is running with a function tracer. The gain was not worth this). The problem came with ftrace_startup() which should always be called after __register_ftrace_function(), if you want this bug to be completely fixed. Anyway, this solution moves __register_ftrace_function() inside of ftrace_startup() and removes the need to call them both.

2013-11-19perf/trace: Properly use u64 to hold event_idVince Weaver
The 64-bit attr.config value for perf trace events was being copied into an "int" before doing a comparison, meaning the top 32 bits were being truncated. As far as I can tell this didn't cause any errors, but it did mean it was possible to create valid aliases for all the tracepoint ids which I don't think was intended. (For example, 0xffffffff00000018 and 0x18 both enable the same tracepoint).

2013-11-19ftrace, perf: Avoid infinite event generation loopPeter Zijlstra
Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem. When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an infinite event generation loop: ,-> <IPI> | irq_work_exit() -> | trace_irq_work_exit() -> | ... | __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync) | irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty) '--------- arch_irq_work_raise() Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit. To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint. In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a tracepoint perf event.

Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for 3.13. It contains: - The new blk-mq request interface. This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the best part of the request based interface we currently have (which is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface" which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because it's much faster than the request based one. The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging, timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled for 3.14 conversion. - Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang. - A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost. - Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter. - Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven. - A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout handling from Jeff Moyer. This is what caused the merge conflict with blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that. - A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer. - A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent Overstreet. - A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop crash and memory corruption on blk cg. - Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama. A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch. Initially the immutable bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet. So the decision was made to pull this out and postpone it until 3.14. It was a straight forward rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of problems with it.

Currently each task sends BLK_TN_PROCESS event to the first traced device it interacts with after a new trace is started. When there are several traced devices and the task accesses more devices, this logic can result in BLK_TN_PROCESS being sent several times to some devices while it is never sent to other devices. Thus blkparse doesn't display command name when parsing some blktrace files. Fix the problem by sending BLK_TN_PROCESS event to all traced devices when a task interacts with any of them.

2013-11-06tracing: Do not use signed enums with unsigned long long in fgragh outputSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The duration field of print_graph_duration() can also be used to do the space filling by passing an enum in it: DURATION_FILL_FULL DURATION_FILL_START DURATION_FILL_END The problem is that these are enums and defined as negative, but the duration field is unsigned long long. Most archs are fine with this but blackfin fails to compile because of it: kernel/built-in.o: In function `print_graph_duration': kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:782: undefined reference to `__ucmpdi2' Overloading a unsigned long long with an signed enum is just bad in principle.

The original SOFT_DISABLE patches didn't add support for soft disable of syscall events; this adds it. Add an array of ftrace_event_file pointers indexed by syscall number to the trace array and remove the existing enabled bitmaps, which as a result are now redundant. The ftrace_event_file structs in turn contain the soft disable flags we need for per-syscall soft disable accounting. Adding ftrace_event_files also means we can remove the USE_CALL_FILTER bit, thus enabling multibuffer filter support for syscall events.

2013-11-05tracing: Update event filters for multibufferTom Zanussi
The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using filters in the multibuffer case: Before: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect the same event in tracing/events as it does above. After: # echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1 # echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 8192 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter bytes_alloc > 2048 We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away. The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard() redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as appropriate).

The way it is triggered is if userspace sends in 128 characters (EVENT_BUF_SIZE + 1), the loop that reads the last character stores it and then breaks out because there is no more characters. Then the last character is read to determine what to do next, and the index is incremented without checking size. Then the caller of trace_get_user() usually nulls out the last character with a zero, but since the index is equal to the size, it writes a nul character after the allocated space, which can corrupt memory. Luckily, only root user has write access to this file.

2013-09-03ftrace: Fix a slight race in modifying what function callback gets tracedSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
There's a slight race when going from a list function to a non list function. That is, when only one callback is registered to the function tracer, it gets called directly by the mcount trampoline. But if this function has filters, it may be called by the wrong functions. As the list ops callback that handles multiple callbacks that are registered to ftrace, it also handles what functions they call. While the transaction is taking place, use the list function always, and after all the updates are finished (only the functions that should be traced are being traced), then we can update the trampoline to call the function directly.

tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains a comment about that, but it doesn't help. The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed. The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask. Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed. The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

2013-08-01tracing/uprobes: Fail to unregister if probe event files are in useSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Uprobes suffer the same problem that kprobes have. There's a race between writing to the "enable" file and removing the probe. The probe checks for it being in use and if it is not, goes about deleting the probe and the event that represents it. But the problem with that is, after it checks if it is in use it can be enabled, and the deletion of the event (access to the probe) will fail, as it is in use. But the uprobe will still be deleted. This is a problem as the event can reference the uprobe that was deleted. The fix is to remove the event first, and check to make sure the event removal succeeds. Then it is safe to remove the probe. When the event exists, either ftrace or perf can enable the probe and prevent the event from being removed.

2013-07-31tracing: Add comment to describe special break case in probe_remove_event_call()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)
The "break" used in the do_for_each_event_file() is used as an optimization as the loop is really a double loop. The loop searches all event files for each trace_array. There's only one matching event file per trace_array and after we find the event file for the trace_array, the break is used to jump to the next trace_array and start the search there. As this is not a standard way of using "break" in C code, it requires a comment right before the break to let people know what is going on. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2013-07-31tracing: trace_remove_event_call() should fail if call/file is in useOleg Nesterov
Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort if trace_remove_event_call() fails. The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds. debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove() does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need the additional checks: - There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the patch checks ->perf_refcount. - TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE, so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented. When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented. If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until reboot. The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on (and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the notrace_hash). When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is function records for one module will not exist on the same page as function records for other modules or even the core kernel. Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be incremented). The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect that. With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer: Using uinput module and uinput_release function. cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing modprobe uinput echo uinput_release > set_ftrace_filter echo function > current_tracer rmmod uinput modprobe uinput # check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again echo nop > current_tracer [BOOM] The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that can be traced within the module. We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function. Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record associated to uinput_release. Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents uinput_release. Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address). This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero, including uinput_release. Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have a mismatch (below zero ref count). The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts tracing that function. There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload, but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too. Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's function on unload and load.

2013-07-29tracing: Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear "d_subdirs"->i_privateOleg Nesterov
Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every file we are going to remove. We need to check file->dir != NULL because event_create_dir() can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch moves it under the same check anyway for readability. spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed afaics, but I do not understand this code enough. tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file() can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops() use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled. This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete(). f_op->read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call, all event/* files were changed to check and use ->i_private under event_mutex. Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but those changes are completely orthogonal.

trace_format_open() and trace_format_seq_ops are racy, nothing protects ftrace_event_call from trace_remove_event_call(). Change f_start() to take event_mutex and verify i_private != NULL, change f_stop() to drop this lock. This fixes nothing, but now we can change debugfs_remove("format") callers to nullify ->i_private and fix the the problem. Note: the usage of event_mutex is sub-optimal but simple, we can change this later.
