tracing: Do not free snapshot if tracer is on cmdline

2022-10-24T07:56:58Z

commit a541a9559bb0a8ecc434de01d3e4826c32e8bb53 upstream. The ftrace_boot_snapshot and alloc_snapshot cmdline options allocate the snapshot buffer at boot up for use later. The ftrace_boot_snapshot in particular requires the snapshot to be allocated because it will take a snapshot at the end of boot up allowing to see the traces that happened during boot so that it's not lost when user space takes over. When a tracer is registered (started) there's a path that checks if it requires the snapshot buffer or not, and if it does not and it was allocated it will do a synchronization and free the snapshot buffer. This is only required if the previous tracer was using it for "max latency" snapshots, as it needs to make sure all max snapshots are complete before freeing. But this is only needed if the previous tracer was using the snapshot buffer for latency (like irqoff tracer and friends). But it does not make sense to free it, if the previous tracer was not using it, and the snapshot was allocated by the cmdline parameters. This basically takes away the point of allocating it in the first place! Note, the allocated snapshot worked fine for just trace events, but fails when a tracer is enabled on the cmdline. Further investigation, this goes back even further and it does not require a tracer on the cmdline to fail. Simply enable snapshots and then enable a tracer, and it will remove the snapshot.

tracing: Add ioctl() to force ring buffer waiters to wake up

2022-10-24T07:56:57Z

commit 01b2a52171735c6eea80ee2f355f32bea6c41418 upstream. If a process is waiting on the ring buffer for data, there currently isn't a clean way to force it to wake up. Add an ioctl call that will force any tasks that are waiting on the trace_pipe_raw file to wake up.

tracing: Wake up waiters when tracing is disabled

2022-10-24T07:56:57Z

commit 2b0fd9a59b7990c161fa1cb7b79edb22847c87c2 upstream. When tracing is disabled, there's no reason that waiters should stay waiting, wake them up, otherwise tasks get stuck when they should be flushing the buffers.

tracing: Wake up ring buffer waiters on closing of the file

2022-10-24T07:56:57Z

commit f3ddb74ad0790030c9592229fb14d8c451f4e9a8 upstream. When the file that represents the ring buffer is closed, there may be waiters waiting on more input from the ring buffer. Call ring_buffer_wake_waiters() to wake up any waiters when the file is closed.

tracing: Disable interrupt or preemption before acquiring arch_spinlock_t

2022-10-24T07:56:57Z

commit c0a581d7126c0bbc96163276f585fd7b4e4d8d0e upstream. It was found that some tracing functions in kernel/trace/trace.c acquire an arch_spinlock_t with preemption and irqs enabled. An example is the tracing_saved_cmdlines_size_read() function which intermittently causes a "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible" warning when the LTP read_all_proc test is run. That can be problematic in case preemption happens after acquiring the lock. Add the necessary preemption or interrupt disabling code in the appropriate places before acquiring an arch_spinlock_t. The convention here is to disable preemption for trace_cmdline_lock and interupt for max_lock.

tracing: Fix sleeping while atomic in kdb ftdump

2022-07-12T20:35:58Z

If you drop into kdb and type "ftdump" you'll get a sleeping while atomic warning from memory allocation in trace_find_next_entry(). This appears to have been caused by commit ff895103a84a ("tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entry"), which added the allocation in that path. The problematic commit was already fixed by commit 8e99cf91b99b ("tracing: Do not allocate buffer in trace_find_next_entry() in atomic") but that fix missed the kdb case. The fix here is easy: just move the assignment of the static buffer to the place where it should have been to begin with: trace_init_global_iter(). That function is called in two places, once is right before the assignment of the static buffer added by the previous fix and once is in kdb. Note that it appears that there's a second static buffer that we need to assign that was added in commit efbbdaa22bb7 ("tracing: Show real address for trace event arguments"), so we'll move that too.

tracing: Simplify conditional compilation code in tracing_set_tracer()

2022-06-17T22:42:17Z

Two conditional compilation directives "#ifdef CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE" are used consecutively, and no other code in between. Simplify conditional the compilation code and only use one "#ifdef CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE".

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "The majority of the changes are for fixes and clean ups. Notable changes: - Rework trace event triggers code to be easier to interact with. - Support for embedding bootconfig with the kernel (as suppose to having it embedded in initram). This is useful for embedded boards without initram disks. - Speed up boot by parallelizing the creation of tracefs files. - Allow absolute ring buffer timestamps handle timestamps that use more than 59 bits. - Added new tracing clock "TAI" (International Atomic Time) - Have weak functions show up in available_filter_function list as: __ftrace_invalid_address___ instead of using the name of the function before it" * tag 'trace-v5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (52 commits) ftrace: Add FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET to avoid adding weak function tracing: Fix comments for event_trigger_separate_filter() x86/traceponit: Fix comment about irq vector tracepoints x86,tracing: Remove unused headers ftrace: Clean up hash direct_functions on register failures tracing: Fix comments of create_filter() tracing: Disable kcov on trace_preemptirq.c tracing: Initialize integer variable to prevent garbage return value ftrace: Fix typo in comment ftrace: Remove return value of ftrace_arch_modify_*() tracing: Cleanup code by removing init "char *name" tracing: Change "char *" string form to "char []" tracing/timerlat: Do not wakeup the thread if the trace stops at the IRQ tracing/timerlat: Print stacktrace in the IRQ handler if needed tracing/timerlat: Notify IRQ new max latency only if stop tracing is set kprobes: Fix build errors with CONFIG_KRETPROBES=n tracing: Fix return value of trace_pid_write() tracing: Fix potential double free in create_var_ref() tracing: Use strim() to remove whitespace instead of doing it manually ftrace: Deal with error return code of the ftrace_process_locs() function ...

tracing: Change "char *" string form to "char []"

2022-05-27T01:13:00Z

The "char []" string form declares a single variable. It is better than "char *" which creates two variables in the final assembly. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220512143230.28796-1-liqiong@nfschina.com Signed-off-by: liqiong Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)
