2022-05-26tracing: Use strim() to remove whitespace instead of doing it manuallyYuntao Wang
The tracing_set_trace_write() function just removes the trailing whitespace from the user supplied tracer name, but the leading whitespace should also be removed. In addition, if the user supplied tracer name contains only a few whitespace characters, the first one will not be removed using the current method, which results it a single whitespace character left in the buf. To fix all of these issues, we use strim() to correctly remove both the leading and trailing whitespace.

Move trace_eval_init() to subsys_initcall to make it start earlier. And to avoid tracer_init_tracefs being blocked by trace_event_sem which trace_eval_init() hold [1], queue tracer_init_tracefs() to eval_map_wq to let the two works being executed sequentially.

2022-04-26tracing: Avoid adding tracer option before update_tracer_optionsMark-PK Tsai
To prepare for support asynchronous tracer_init_tracefs initcall, avoid calling create_trace_option_files before __update_tracer_options. Otherwise, create_trace_option_files will show warning because some tracers in trace_types list are already in tr->topts. For example, hwlat_tracer call register_tracer in late_initcall, and global_trace.dir is already created in tracing_init_dentry, hwlat_tracer will be put into tr->topts. Then if the __update_tracer_options is executed after hwlat_tracer registered, create_trace_option_files find that hwlat_tracer is already in tr->topts.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the kernel describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a byte in a page mapping that it can check against. A privileged task can then enable that event like any other event, which will change the mapped byte to true, telling the user space application to start writing the event to the tracing buffer. - Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When set, the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot up when the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep the traces that happened at boot up available even if user space boot up has tracing as well. - Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type descriptions. Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum, the user space trace event parsers can still know how to parse that array. - Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This will make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not be stuck at only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports. - Fixes to tracing error logging. - Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events for mapping). * tag 'trace-v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (30 commits) tracing: Have type enum modifications copy the strings user_events: Add trace event call as root for low permission cases tracing/user_events: Use alloc_pages instead of kzalloc() for register pages tracing: Add snapshot at end of kernel boot up tracing: Have TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM affect trace event types as well tracing: Fix strncpy warning in trace_events_synth.c user_events: Prevent dyn_event delete racing with ioctl add/delete tracing: Add TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro tracing: Move the defines to create TRACE_EVENTS into their own files tracing: Add sample code for custom trace events tracing: Allow custom events to be added to the tracefs directory tracing: Fix last_cmd_set() string management in histogram code user_events: Fix potential uninitialized pointer while parsing field tracing: Fix allocation of last_cmd in last_cmd_set() user_events: Add documentation file user_events: Add sample code for typical usage user_events: Add self-test for validator boundaries user_events: Add self-test for perf_event integration user_events: Add self-test for dynamic_events integration user_events: Add self-test for ftrace integration ...

If a trace event has in its TP_printk(): "%*.s", len, len ? __get_str(string) : NULL It is perfectly valid if len is zero and passing in the NULL. Unfortunately, the runtime string check at time of reading the trace sees the NULL and flags it as a bad string and produces a WARN_ON(). Handle this case by passing into the test function if the format has an asterisk (star) and if so, if the length is zero, then mark it as safe.

On a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel one might wonder why there is no scheduling happening despite the N flag in the trace. The reason might be the a rcu_read_lock_bh() section. Add a 'b' to the tracing output if in task context with disabled bottom halves.

2021-12-07tracing: Make trace_marker{,_raw} stream-likeJohn Keeping
The tracing marker files are write-only streams with no meaningful concept of file position. Using stream_open() to mark them as stream-link indicates this and has the added advantage that a single file descriptor can now be used from multiple threads without contention thanks to clearing FMODE_ATOMIC_POS. Note that this has the potential to break existing userspace by since both lseek(2) and pwrite(2) will now return ESPIPE when previously lseek would have updated the stored offset and pwrite would have appended to the trace. A survey of libtracefs and several other projects found to use trace_marker(_raw) [1][2][3] suggests that everyone limits themselves to calling write(2) and close(2) on these file descriptors so there is a good chance this will go unnoticed and the benefits of reduced overhead and lock contention seem worth the risk.

2021-12-06tracing: Disable preemption when using the filter bufferSteven Rostedt (VMware)
In case trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() is called with preemption enabled, the algorithm that defines the usage of the per cpu filter buffer may fail if the task schedules to another CPU after determining which buffer it will use. Disable preemption when using the filter buffer. And because that same buffer must be used throughout the call, keep preemption disabled until the filter buffer is released. This will also keep the semantics between the use case of when the filter buffer is used, and when the ring buffer itself is used, as that case also disables preemption until the ring buffer is released.

If trace_seq becomes full, trace_seq_vprintf() no longer consumes arguments from va_list, making va_list out of sync with format processing by trace_check_vprintf(). This causes va_arg() in trace_check_vprintf() to return wrong positional argument, which results into a WARN_ON_ONCE() hit. ftrace_stress_test from LTP triggers this situation. Fix it by explicitly avoiding further use if va_list at the point when it's consistency can no longer be guaranteed.

When building the files in the tracefs file system, do not by default set any permissions for OTH (other). This will make it easier for admins who want to define a group for accessing tracefs and not having to first disable all the permission bits for "other" in the file system. As tracing can leak sensitive information, it should never by default allowing all users access.

Instead of having the logic that does trace_pid_list open coded, wrap it in abstract functions. This will allow a rewrite of the logic that implements the trace_pid_list without affecting the users. Note, this causes a change in behavior. Every time a pid is written into the set_*_pid file, it creates a new list and uses RCU to update it. If pid_max is lowered, but there was a pid currently in the list that was higher than pid_max, those pids will now be removed on updating the list. The old behavior kept that from happening. The rewrite of the pid_list logic will no longer depend on pid_max, and will return the old behavior. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2021-09-03tracing: Add migrate-disabled counter to tracing output.Thomas Gleixner
migrate_disable() forbids task migration to another CPU. It is available since v5.11 and has already users such as highmem or BPF. It is useful to observe this task state in tracing which already has other states like the preemption counter. Instead of adding the migrate disable counter as a new entry to struct trace_entry, which would extend the whole struct by four bytes, it is squashed into the preempt-disable counter. The lower four bits represent the preemption counter, the upper four bits represent the migrate disable counter. Both counter shouldn't exceed 15 but if they do, there is a safety net which caps the value at 15. Add the migrate-disable counter to the trace entry so it shows up in the trace. Due to the users mentioned above, it is already possible to observe it: | bash-1108 [000] ...21 73.950578: rss_stat: mm_id=2213312838 curr=0 type=MM_ANONPAGES size=8192B | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: irq_disable: caller=flush_tlb_mm_range+0x115/0x130 parent=ptep_clear_flush+0x42/0x50 | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: tlb_flush: pages:1 reason:local mm shootdown (3) The last value is the migrate-disable counter. Things that popped up: - trace_print_lat_context() does not print the migrate counter. Not sure if it should. It is used in "verbose" mode and uses 8 digits and I'm not sure ther is something processing the value. - trace_define_common_fields() now defines a different variable. This probably breaks things. No ide what to do in order to preserve the old behaviour. Since this is used as a filter it should be split somehow to be able to match both nibbles here.

2021-08-20tracing: Add a probe that attaches to trace eventsTzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)
A new dynamic event is introduced: event probe. The event is attached to an existing tracepoint and uses its fields as arguments. The user can specify custom format string of the new event, select what tracepoint arguments will be printed and how to print them. An event probe is created by writing configuration string in 'dynamic_events' ftrace file: e[:[SNAME/]ENAME] SYSTEM/EVENT [FETCHARGS] - Set an event probe -:SNAME/ENAME - Delete an event probe Where: SNAME - System name, if omitted 'eprobes' is used. ENAME - Name of the new event in SNAME, if omitted the SYSTEM_EVENT is used. SYSTEM - Name of the system, where the tracepoint is defined, mandatory. EVENT - Name of the tracepoint event in SYSTEM, mandatory. FETCHARGS - Arguments: <name>=$<field>[:TYPE] - Fetch given filed of the tracepoint and print it as given TYPE with given name. Supported types are: (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), basic type (x8/x16/x32/x64), hexadecimal types "string", "ustring" and bitfield. Example, attach an event probe on openat system call and print name of the file that will be opened: echo "e:esys/eopen syscalls/sys_enter_openat file=\$filename:string" >> dynamic_events A new dynamic event is created in events/esys/eopen/ directory. It can be deleted with: echo "-:esys/eopen" >> dynamic_events Filters, triggers and histograms can be attached to the new event, it can be matched in synthetic events. There is one limitation - an event probe can not be attached to kprobe, uprobe or another event probe.

As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep the dynamic event from going away. Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure, make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.

2021-08-16tracing: Apply trace filters on all output channelsPingfan Liu
The event filters are not applied on all of the output, which results in the flood of printk when using tp_printk. Unfolding event_trigger_unlock_commit_regs() into trace_event_buffer_commit(), so the filters can be applied on every output.
