2018-03-10tracing: Only add filter list when neededSteven Rostedt (VMware)
replace_system_preds() creates a filter list to free even when it doesn't really need to have it. Only save filters that require synchronize_sched() in the filter list to free. This will allow the code to be updated a bit easier in the future. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2018-03-10tracing: Use the ring-buffer nesting to allow synthetic events to be tracedSteven Rostedt (VMware)
Synthetic events can be done within the recording of other events. Notify the ring buffer via ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end() that this is intended and not to block it due to its recursion protection. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2018-03-10ring-buffer: Add nesting for adding events within eventsSteven Rostedt (VMware)
The ring-buffer code has recusion protection in case tracing ends up tracing itself, the ring-buffer will detect that it was called at the same context (normal, softirq, interrupt or NMI), and not continue to record the event. With the histogram synthetic events, they are called while tracing another event at the same context. The recusion protection triggers because it detects tracing at the same context and stops it. Add ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end() that will notify the ring buffer that a trace is about to happen within another trace and that it is intended, and not to trigger the recursion blocking.

2018-03-10tracing: Add 'last error' error facility for hist triggersTom Zanussi
With the addition of variables and actions, it's become necessary to provide more detailed error information to users about syntax errors. Add a 'last error' facility accessible via the erroring event's 'hist' file. Reading the hist file after an error will display more detailed information about what went wrong, if information is available. This extended error information will be available until the next hist trigger command for that event. # echo xxx > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger echo: write error: Invalid argument # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/hist ERROR: Couldn't yyy: zzz Last command: xxx Also add specific error messages for variable and action errors.

2018-03-10tracing: Add hist trigger support for variable reference aliasesTom Zanussi
Add support for alias=$somevar where alias can be used as onmatch.xxx($alias). Aliases are a way of creating a new name for an existing variable, for flexibly in making naming more clear in certain cases. For example in the below the user perhaps feels that using $new_lat in the synthetic event invocation is opaque or doesn't fit well stylistically with previous triggers, so creates an alias of $new_lat named $latency and uses that in the call instead: # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:new_lat=common_timestamp.usecs' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger # echo 'hist:keys=pid:latency=$new_lat: onmatch(sched.sched_switch).wake2($latency,pid)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wake1/trigger Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/ef20a65d921af3a873a6f1e8c71407c926d5586f.1516069914.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2018-03-10tracing: Allow whitespace to surround hist trigger filterTom Zanussi
The existing code only allows for one space before and after the 'if' specifying the filter for a hist trigger. Add code to make that more permissive as far as whitespace goes. Specifically, we want to allow spaces in the trigger itself now that we have additional syntax (onmatch/onmax) where spaces are more natural e.g. spaces after commas in param lists.

2018-03-10tracing: Add 'onmax' hist trigger action supportTom Zanussi
Add an 'onmax(var).save(field,...)' hist trigger action which is invoked whenever an event exceeds the current maximum. The end result is that the trace event fields or variables specified as the onmax.save() params will be saved if 'var' exceeds the current maximum for that hist trigger entry. This allows context from the event that exhibited the new maximum to be saved for later reference. When the histogram is displayed, additional fields displaying the saved values will be printed. As an example the below defines a couple of hist triggers, one for sched_wakeup and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid. Whenever a sched_wakeup occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry corresponding to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches back to that pid, the timestamp difference is calculated. If the resulting latency exceeds the current maximum latency, the specified save() values are saved: # echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs \ if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:\ wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:\ onmax($wakeup_lat).save(next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio,prev_comm) \ if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger When the histogram is displayed, the max value and the saved values corresponding to the max are displayed following the rest of the fields: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist { next_pid: 3728 } hitcount: 199 \ max: 123 next_comm: cyclictest prev_pid: 0 \ prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/3 { next_pid: 3730 } hitcount: 1321 \ max: 15 next_comm: cyclictest prev_pid: 0 \ prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/1 { next_pid: 3729 } hitcount: 1973\ max: 25 next_comm: cyclictest prev_pid: 0 \ prev_prio: 120 prev_comm: swapper/0 Totals: Hits: 3493 Entries: 3 Dropped: 0 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/006907f71b1e839bb059337ec3c496f84fcb71de.1516069914.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2018-03-10tracing: Add 'onmatch' hist trigger action supportTom Zanussi
Add an 'onmatch(matching.event).<synthetic_event_name>(param list)' hist trigger action which is invoked with the set of variables or event fields named in the 'param list'. The result is the generation of a synthetic event that consists of the values contained in those variables and/or fields at the time the invoking event was hit. As an example the below defines a simple synthetic event using a variable defined on the sched_wakeup_new event, and shows the event definition with unresolved fields, since the sched_wakeup_new event with the testpid variable hasn't been defined yet: # echo 'wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio' >> \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio The following hist trigger both defines a testpid variable and specifies an onmatch() trace action that uses that variable along with a non-variable field to generate a wakeup_new_test synthetic event whenever a sched_wakeup_new event occurs, which because of the 'if comm == "cyclictest"' filter only happens when the executable is cyclictest: # echo 'hist:testpid=pid:keys=$testpid:\ onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup_new).wakeup_new_test($testpid, prio) \ if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup_new/trigger Creating and displaying a histogram based on those events is now just a matter of using the fields and new synthetic event in the tracing/events/synthetic directory, as usual: # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:sort=pid,prio' >> \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_new_test/trigger Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/8c2a574bcb7530c876629c901ecd23911b14afe8.1516069914.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rajvi Jingar <rajvi.jingar@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2018-03-10tracing: Add support for 'field variables'Tom Zanussi
Users should be able to directly specify event fields in hist trigger 'actions' rather than being forced to explicitly create a variable for that purpose. Add support allowing fields to be used directly in actions, which essentially does just that - creates 'invisible' variables for each bare field specified in an action. If a bare field refers to a field on another (matching) event, it even creates a special histogram for the purpose (since variables can't be defined on an existing histogram after histogram creation). Here's a simple example that demonstrates both. Basically the onmatch() action creates a list of variables corresponding to the parameters of the synthetic event to be generated, and then uses those values to generate the event. So for the wakeup_latency synthetic event 'call' below the first param, $wakeup_lat, is a variable defined explicitly on sched_switch, where 'next_pid' is just a normal field on sched_switch, and prio is a normal field on sched_waking. Since the mechanism works on variables, those two normal fields just have 'invisible' variables created internally for them. In the case of 'prio', which is on another event, we actually need to create an additional hist trigger and define the invisible variable on that, since once a hist trigger is defined, variables can't be added to it later. echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/trigger echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0: onmatch(sched.sched_waking).wakeup_latency($wakeup_lat,next_pid,prio) >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/8e8dcdac1ea180ed7a3689e1caeeccede9dc42b3.1516069914.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2018-03-10tracing: Add support for 'synthetic' eventsTom Zanussi
Synthetic events are user-defined events generated from hist trigger variables saved from one or more other events. To define a synthetic event, the user writes a simple specification consisting of the name of the new event along with one or more variables and their type(s), to the tracing/synthetic_events file. For instance, the following creates a new event named 'wakeup_latency' with 3 fields: lat, pid, and prio: # echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio' >> \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events Reading the tracing/synthetic_events file lists all the currently-defined synthetic events, in this case the event we defined above: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid; int prio At this point, the synthetic event is ready to use, and a histogram can be defined using it: # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio,lat.log2:sort=pid,lat' >> \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency/trigger The new event is created under the tracing/events/synthetic/ directory and looks and behaves just like any other event: # ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_latency enable filter format hist id trigger Although a histogram can be defined for it, nothing will happen until an action tracing that event via the trace_synth() function occurs. The trace_synth() function is very similar to all the other trace_* invocations spread throughout the kernel, except in this case the trace_ function and its corresponding tracepoint isn't statically generated but defined by the user at run-time. How this can be automatically hooked up via a hist trigger 'action' is discussed in a subsequent patch.

2018-03-10tracing: Add hist trigger action hookTom Zanussi
Add a hook for executing extra actions whenever a histogram entry is added or updated. The default 'action' when a hist entry is added to a histogram is to update the set of values associated with it. Some applications may want to perform additional actions at that point, such as generate another event, or compare and save a maximum. Add a simple framework for doing that; specific actions will be implemented on top of it in later patches.

2018-03-10tracing: Add variable reference handling to hist triggersTom Zanussi
Add the necessary infrastructure to allow the variables defined on one event to be referenced in another. This allows variables set by a previous event to be referenced and used in expressions combining the variable values saved by that previous event and the event fields of the current event. For example, here's how a latency can be calculated and saved into yet another variable named 'wakeup_lat': # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ... # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ... In the first event, the event's timetamp is saved into the variable ts0. In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second event's timestamp to produce the latency. Further users of variable references will be described in subsequent patches, such as for instance how the 'wakeup_lat' variable above can be displayed in a latency histogram.

2018-03-10tracing: Add variable support to hist triggersTom Zanussi
Add support for saving the value of a current event's event field by assigning it to a variable that can be read by a subsequent event. The basic syntax for saving a variable is to simply prefix a unique variable name not corresponding to any keyword along with an '=' sign to any event field. Both keys and values can be saved and retrieved in this way: # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=common_timestamp ... # echo 'hist:timer_pid=common_pid:key=$timer_pid ...' If a variable isn't a key variable or prefixed with 'vals=', the associated event field will be saved in a variable but won't be summed as a value: # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:ts1=common_timestamp:... Multiple variables can be assigned at the same time: # echo 'hist:keys=pid:vals=$ts0,$b,field2:ts0=common_timestamp,b=field1 ... Multiple (or single) variables can also be assigned at the same time using separate assignments: # echo 'hist:keys=pid:vals=$ts0:ts0=common_timestamp:b=field1:c=field2 ... Variables set as above can be used by being referenced from another event, as described in a subsequent patch.

In order to allow information to be passed between trace events, add support for per-element variables to tracing_map. This provides a means for histograms to associate a value or values with an entry when it's saved or updated, and retrieved by a subsequent event occurrences. Variables can be set using tracing_map_set_var() and read using tracing_map_read_var(). tracing_map_var_set() returns true or false depending on whether or not the variable has been set or not, which is important for event-matching applications. tracing_map_read_var_once() reads the variable and resets it to the 'unset' state, implementing read-once variables, which are also important for event-matching uses.

2018-03-10tracing: Add hist trigger timestamp supportTom Zanussi
Add support for a timestamp event field. This is actually a 'pseudo-' event field in that it behaves like it's part of the event record, but is really part of the corresponding ring buffer event. To make use of the timestamp field, users can specify "common_timestamp" as a field name for any histogram. Note that this doesn't make much sense on its own either as either a key or value, but needs to be supported even so, since follow-on patches will add support for making use of this field in time deltas. The common_timestamp 'field' is not a bona fide event field - so you won't find it in the event description - but rather it's a synthetic field that can be used like a real field.

Add a new option flag indicating whether or not the ring buffer is in 'absolute timestamp' mode. Currently this is only set/unset by hist triggers that make use of a common_timestamp. As such, there's no reason to make this writeable for users - its purpose is only to allow users to determine unequivocally whether or not the ring buffer is in that mode (although absolute timestamps can coexist with the normal delta timestamps, when the ring buffer is in absolute mode, timestamps written while absolute mode is in effect take up more space in the buffer, and are not as efficient).

2018-03-10ring-buffer: Redefine the unimplemented RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMPTom Zanussi
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP is defined but not used, and from what I can gather was reserved for something like an absolute timestamp feature for the ring buffer, if not a complete replacement of the current time_delta scheme. This code redefines RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP to implement absolute time stamps. Another way to look at it is that it essentially forces extended time_deltas for all events. The motivation for doing this is to enable time_deltas that aren't dependent on previous events in the ring buffer, making it feasible to use the ring_buffer_event timetamps in a more random-access way, for purposes other than serial event printing. To set/reset this mode, use tracing_set_timestamp_abs() from the previous interface patch.

2018-03-10tracing: Remove code which merges duplicatesVedang Patel
We now have the logic to detect and remove duplicates in the tracing_map hash table. The code which merges duplicates in the histogram is redundant now. So, modify this code just to detect duplicates. The duplication detection code is still kept to ensure that any rare race condition which might cause duplicates does not go unnoticed. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/55215cf59e2674391bdaf772fdafc4c393352b03.1516069914.git.tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Vedang Patel <vedang.patel@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2018-03-10tracing: Add support to detect and avoid duplicatesVedang Patel
A duplicate in the tracing_map hash table is when 2 different entries have the same key and, as a result, the key_hash. This is possible due to a race condition in the algorithm. This race condition is inherent to the algorithm and not a bug. This was fine because, until now, we were only interested in the sum of all the values related to a particular key (the duplicates are dealt with in tracing_map_sort_entries()). But, with the inclusion of variables[1], we are interested in individual values. So, it will not be clear what value to choose when there are duplicates. So, the duplicates need to be removed. The duplicates can occur in the code in the following scenarios: - A thread is in the process of adding a new element. It has successfully executed cmpxchg() and inserted the key. But, it is still not done acquiring the trace_map_elt struct, populating it and storing the pointer to the struct in the value field of tracing_map hash table. If another thread comes in at this time and wants to add an element with the same key, it will not see the current element and add a new one. - There are multiple threads trying to execute cmpxchg at the same time, one of the threads will succeed and the others will fail. The ones which fail will go ahead increment 'idx' and add a new element there creating a duplicate. This patch detects and avoids the first condition by asking the thread which detects the duplicate to loop one more time. There is also a possibility of infinite loop if the thread which is trying to insert goes to sleep indefinitely and the one which is trying to insert a new element detects a duplicate. Which is why, the thread loops for map_size iterations before returning NULL. The second scenario is avoided by preventing the threads which failed cmpxchg() from incrementing idx. This way, they will loop around and check if the thread which succeeded in executing cmpxchg() had the same key.

syzkaller tried to perform a prog query in perf_event_query_prog_array() where struct perf_event_query_bpf had an ids_len of 1,073,741,353 and thus causing a warning due to failed kcalloc() allocation out of the bpf_prog_array_copy_to_user() helper. Given we cannot attach more than 64 programs to a perf event, there's no point in allowing huge ids_len.

This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2018-02-08tracing: Fix parsing of globs with a wildcard at the beginningSteven Rostedt (VMware)
Al Viro reported: For substring - sure, but what about something like "*a*b" and "a*b"? AFAICS, filter_parse_regex() ends up with identical results in both cases - MATCH_GLOB and *search = "a*b". And no way for the caller to tell one from another. Testing this with the following: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo '*raw*lock' > set_ftrace_filter bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument With this patch: # echo '*raw*lock' > set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter _raw_read_trylock _raw_write_trylock _raw_read_unlock _raw_spin_unlock _raw_write_unlock _raw_spin_trylock _raw_spin_lock _raw_write_lock _raw_read_lock Al recommended not setting the search buffer to skip the first '*' unless we know we are not using MATCH_GLOB.

2018-02-08ftrace: Remove incorrect setting of glob search fieldSteven Rostedt (VMware)
__unregister_ftrace_function_probe() will incorrectly parse the glob filter because it resets the search variable that was setup by filter_parse_regex(). Al Viro reported this: After that call of filter_parse_regex() we could have func_g.search not equal to glob only if glob started with '!' or '*'. In the former case we would've buggered off with -EINVAL (not = 1). In the latter we would've set func_g.search equal to glob + 1, calculated the length of that thing in func_g.len and proceeded to reset func_g.search back to glob. Suppose the glob is e.g. *foo*. We end up with func_g.type = MATCH_MIDDLE_ONLY; func_g.len = 3; func_g.search = "*foo"; Feeding that to ftrace_match_record() will not do anything sane - we will be looking for names containing "*foo" (->len is ignored for that one).
