Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Make buffer_percent read/write.
The buffer_percent file is how users can state how long to block on
the tracing buffer depending on how much is in the buffer. When it
hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the task waiting on the
buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only.
This was not noticed because testing was done as root without
SELinux, but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it
without having CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE.
- The "touched_functions" was added this merge window, but one of the
reasons for adding it was not implemented.
That was to show what functions were not only touched, but had either
a direct trampoline attached to it, or a kprobe or live kernel
patching that can "hijack" the function to run a different function.
The point is to know if there's functions in the kernel that may not
be behaving as the kernel code shows. This can be used for debugging.
TODO: Add this information to kernel oops too.

ftrace: Add MODIFIED flag to show if IPMODIFY or direct was attached
tracing: Fix permissions for the buffer_percent file
|
|
This file defines both read and write operations, yet it is being
created as read-only. This means that it can't be written to without the
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE capability. Fix the permissions to allow root to write
to it without the need to override DAC perms.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- User events are finally ready!
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.

The kernel command line ftrace_boot_snapshot by itself is supposed to
trigger a snapshot at the end of boot up of the main top level trace
buffer. A ftrace_boot_snapshot=foo will do the same for an instance called
foo that was created by trace_instance=foo,...
The logic was broken where if ftrace_boot_snapshot was by itself, it would
trigger a snapshot for all instances that had tracing enabled, regardless
if it asked for a snapshot or not.
When a snapshot is requested for a buffer, the buffer's
tr->allocated_snapshot is set to true. Use that to know if a trace buffer
wants a snapshot at boot up or not.
Since the top level buffer is part of the ftrace_trace_arrays list,
there's no reason to treat it differently than the other buffers. Just
iterate the list if ftrace_boot_snapshot was specified.

appropriate instance
If a trace instance has a failure with its snapshot code, the error
message is to be written to that instance's buffer. But currently, the
message is written to the top level buffer. Worse yet, it may also disable
the top level buffer and not the instance that had the issue.

The hex, raw and bin formats come from the old PREEMPT_RT patch set
latency tracer. That actually gave real alternatives to reading the ascii
buffer. But they have started to bit rot and they do not give a good
representation of the tracing data.
Add "fields" option that will read the trace event fields and parse the
data from how the fields are defined:
With "fields" = 0 (default)

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix setting affinity of hwlat threads in containers
Using sched_set_affinity() has unwanted side effects when being
called within a container. Use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() instead
- Fix per cpu thread management of the hwlat tracer:
- Do not start per_cpu threads if one is already running for the CPU
- When starting per_cpu threads, do not clear the kthread variable
as it may already be set to running per cpu threads
- Fix return value for test_gen_kprobe_cmd()
On error the return value was overwritten by being set to the result
of the call from kprobe_event_delete(), which would likely succeed,
and thus have the function return success
- Fix splice() reads from the trace file that was broken by commit
36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit
ops")
- Remove obsolete and confusing comment in ring_buffer.c
The original design of the ring buffer used struct page flags for
tricks to optimize, which was shortly removed due to them being
tricks. But a comment for those tricks remained
- Set local functions and variables to static

Since the commit 36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write
without explicit ops") is applied to the kernel, splice() and
sendfile() calls on the trace file (/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
/trace) return EINVAL.
This patch restores these system calls by initializing splice_read
in file_operations of the trace file. This patch only enables such
functionalities for the read case.

There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced
arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug
convinience. I add a new type named 'char' to do it and a new test case
file named 'kprobe_args_char.tc' to do selftest for char type.
For example:
The to be traced function is 'void demo_func(char type, char *name);', we
can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want:
echo 'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' > kprobe_events
we will get the following trace log:
... myprobe: (demo_func+0x0/0x29) arg1='A' arg2={'b','p','f','1',''}

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing.
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.

trace_pipe_raw
poll() and select() on per_cpu trace_pipe and trace_pipe_raw do not work
since kernel 6.1-rc6. This issue is seen after the commit
42fb0a1e84ff525ebe560e2baf9451ab69127e2b ("tracing/ring-buffer: Have
polling block on watermark").
This issue is firstly detected and reported, when testing the CXL error
events in the rasdaemon and also erified using the test application for poll()
and select().
This issue occurs for the per_cpu case, when calling the ring_buffer_poll_wait(),
in kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c, with the buffer_percent > 0 and then wait until the
percentage of pages are available. The default value set for the buffer_percent is 50
in the kernel/trace/trace.c.
As a fix, allow userspace application could set buffer_percent as 0 through
the buffer_percent_fops, so that the task will wake up as soon as data is added
to any of the specific cpu buffer.

Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is
called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and
"ftrace_dump_on_oops" is set on the kernel command line, all you get will
be:
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6
This is because the trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered
yet. That gets done via an early_initcall(), which may be early, but not
early enough.
Instead of registering the trace_printk() event (and other ftrace events,
which are not trace events) via an early_initcall(), have them registered at
the same time that trace_printk() can be used. This way, if there is a
crash before early_initcall(), then the trace_printk()s will actually be
useful.

Add 'symstr' type for storing the kernel symbol as a string data
instead of the symbol address. This allows us to filter the
events by wildcard symbol name.
e.g.
# echo 'e:wqfunc workqueue.workqueue_execute_start symname=$function:symstr' >> dynamic_events
# cat events/eprobes/wqfunc/format
name: wqfunc
ID: 2110
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:__data_loc char[] symname; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
print fmt: " symname=\"%s\"", __get_str(symname)
Note that there is already 'symbol' type which just change the
print format (so it still stores the symbol address in the tracing
ring buffer.) On the other hand, 'symstr' type stores the actual
"symbol+offset/size" data as a string.

Currently the tracing dump_on_oops feature is implemented through
separate notifiers, one for die/oops and the other for panic;
given they have the same functionality, let's unify them.
Also improve the function comment and change the priority of the
notifier to make it execute earlier, avoiding showing useless trace
data (like the callback names for the other notifiers); finally,
we also removed an unnecessary header inclusion.

Both CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER and CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER partially enables the
CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE code, but that is complicated and has
introduced a bug; It declares tracing_max_lat_fops data structure outside
of #ifdefs, but since it is defined only when CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE=y
or CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER=y, if only CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER=y, that
declaration comes to a definition(!).
To fix this issue, and do not repeat the similar problem, makes
CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER and CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER enables the
CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE always. It has there benefits;
- Fix the tracing_max_lat_fops bug
- Simplify the #ifdefs
- CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE code is fully enabled, or not.

Currently the tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() requires the
trace_types_lock held. But only one caller of this function actually has
that lock held before calling it, and the other just takes the lock so
that it can call it. More users of this function is needed where the lock
is not held.
Add a tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function for the one use
case that calls it without being held, and also add a lockdep_assert to
make sure it is held when called.
Then have tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() take the lock internally, such
that callers do not need to worry about taking it.

Entries in list 'tr->err_log' will be reused after entry number
exceed TRACING_LOG_ERRS_MAX.

still be in list 'tr->err_log' but its 'cmd' field is set to be NULL,
later access of 'cmd' is risky.

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.

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.

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.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Runtime verification infrastructure
This is the biggest change here. It introduces the runtime
verification that is necessary for running Linux on safety critical
systems.
It allows for deterministic automata models to be inserted into the
kernel that will attach to tracepoints, where the information on
these tracepoints will move the model from state to state.
If a state is encountered that does not belong to the model, it will
then activate a given reactor, that could just inform the user or
even panic the kernel (for which safety critical systems will detect
and can recover from).
- Two monitor models are also added: Wakeup In Preemptive (WIP - not to
be confused with "work in progress"), and Wakeup While Not Running
(WWNR).
- Added __vstring() helper to the TRACE_EVENT() macro to replace
several vsnprintf() usages that were all doing it wrong.
- eprobes now can have their event autogenerated when the event name is
left off.
- The rest is various cleanups and fixes.

Pull RCU updates from Paul McKenney:
- Documentation updates
- Miscellaneous fixes
- Callback-offload updates, perhaps most notably a new
RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL Kconfig option that causes all CPUs to be
offloaded at boot time, regardless of kernel boot parameters.
This is useful to battery-powered systems such as ChromeOS and
Android. In addition, a new RCU_NOCB_CPU_CB_BOOST kernel boot
parameter prevents offloaded callbacks from interfering with
real-time workloads and with energy-efficiency mechanisms
- Polled grace-period updates, perhaps most notably making these APIs
account for both normal and expedited grace periods
- Tasks RCU updates, perhaps most notably reducing the CPU overhead of
RCU tasks trace grace periods by more than a factor of two on a
system with 15,000 tasks.
The reduction is expected to increase with the number of tasks, so it
seems reasonable to hypothesize that a system with 150,000 tasks
might see a 20-fold reduction in CPU overhead
- Torture-test updates
- Updates that merge RCU's dyntick-idle tracking into context tracking,
thus reducing the overhead of transitioning to kernel mode from
either idle or nohz_full userspace execution for kernels that track
context independently of RCU.
This is expected to be helpful primarily for kernels built with
CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y

RV is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method that complements classical
exhaustive verification techniques (such as model checking and
theorem proving) with a more practical approach to complex systems.
RV works by analyzing the trace of the system's actual execution,
comparing it against a formal specification of the system behavior.
RV can give precise information on the runtime behavior of the
monitored system while enabling the reaction for unexpected
events, avoiding, for example, the propagation of a failure on
safety-critical systems.
The development of this interface roots in the development of the
paper:
De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot; Cucinotta, Tommaso; De Oliveira, Romulo
Silva. Efficient formal verification for the Linux kernel. In:
International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods.
Springer, Cham, 2019. p. 315-332.
And:
De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot. Automata-based formal analysis
and verification of the real-time Linux kernel. PhD Thesis, 2020.
The RV interface resembles the tracing/ interface on purpose. The current
path for the RV interface is /sys/kernel/tracing/rv/.
It presents these files:
"available_monitors"
- List the available monitors, one per line.
For example:
# cat available_monitors
wip
wwnr
"enabled_monitors"
- Lists the enabled monitors, one per line;
- Writing to it enables a given monitor;
- Writing a monitor name with a '!' prefix disables it;
- Truncating the file disables all enabled monitors.
For example:
# cat enabled_monitors
# echo wip > enabled_monitors
# echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
wip
wwnr
# echo '!wip' >> enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
wwnr
# echo > enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
#
Note that more than one monitor can be enabled concurrently.
"monitoring_on"
- It is an on/off general switcher for monitoring. Note
that it does not disable enabled monitors or detach events,
but stop the per-entity monitors of monitoring the events
received from the system. It resembles the "tracing_on" switcher.
"monitors/"
Each monitor will have its one directory inside "monitors/". There
the monitor specific files will be presented.
The "monitors/" directory resembles the "events" directory on
tracefs.
For example:
# cd monitors/wip/
# ls
desc enable
# cat desc
wakeup in preemptive per-cpu testing monitor.
# cat enable
0
For further information, see the comments in the header of
kernel/trace/rv/rv.c from this patch.

Currently when creating a specific group of trace events,
take kprobe event as example, the user must use the following format:
p:GRP/EVENT [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS],
which means user must enter EVENT name, one example is:
echo 'p:usb_gadget/config_usb_cfg_link config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events
It is not simple if there are too many entries because the event name is
the same as symbol name.
This change allows user to specify no EVENT name, format changed as:
p:GRP/ [MOD:]KSYM[+OFFS]|KADDR [FETCHARGS]
It will generate event name automatically and one example is:
echo 'p:usb_gadget/ config_usb_cfg_link $arg1' >> kprobe_events.

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.
