READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are "data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as "we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly the wrong way.

2022-10-03tracing/user_events: Move pages/locks into groups to prepare for namespacesBeau Belgrave
In order to enable namespaces or any sort of isolation within user_events the register lock and pages need to be broken up into groups. Each event and file now has a group pointer which stores the actual pages to map, lookup data and synchronization objects. This only enables a single group that maps to init_user_ns, as IMA namespace has done. This enables user_events to start the work of supporting namespaces by walking the namespaces up to the init_user_ns. Future patches will address other user namespaces and will align to the approaches the IMA namespace uses.

2022-09-29tracing/user_events: Use bits vs bytes for enabled status page dataBeau Belgrave
User processes may require many events and when they do the cache performance of a byte index status check is less ideal than a bit index. The previous event limit per-page was 4096, the new limit is 32,768. This change adds a bitwise index to the user_reg struct. Programs check that the bit at status_bit has a bit set within the status page(s).

2022-09-29tracing/user_events: Use refcount instead of atomic for ref trackingBeau Belgrave
User processes could open up enough event references to cause rollovers. These could cause use after free scenarios, which we do not want. Switching to refcount APIs prevent this, but will leak memory once saturated. Once saturated, user processes can still use the events. This prevents a bad user process from stopping existing telemetry from being emitted.

2022-04-02tracing: Move user_events.h temporarily out of include/uapiSteven Rostedt (Google)
While user_events API is under development and has been marked for broken to not let the API become fixed, move the header file out of the uapi directory. This is to prevent it from being installed, then later changed, and then have an old distro user space update with a new kernel, where applications see the user_events being available, but the old header is in place, and then they get compiled incorrectly. Also, surround the include with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST to the current location, but when the BROKEN tag is taken off, it will use the uapi directory, and fail to compile. This is a good way to remind us to move the header back.

2022-03-15user_events: Add trace event call as root for low permission casesBeau Belgrave
Tracefs by default is locked down heavily. System operators can open up some files, such as user_events to a broader set of users. These users do not have access within tracefs beyond just the user_event files. Due to this restriction the trace_add_event_call/remove calls will silently fail since the caller does not have permissions to create directories. To fix this trace_add_event_call/remove calls will be issued with override creds of the global root UID. Creds are reverted immediately afterward.

2022-03-11user_events: Prevent dyn_event delete racing with ioctl add/deleteBeau Belgrave
Find user_events always while under the event_mutex and before leaving the lock, add a ref count to the user_event. This ensures that all paths under the event_mutex that check the ref counts will be synchronized. The ioctl add/delete paths are protected by the reg_mutex. However, dyn_event is only protected by the event_mutex. The dyn_event delete path cannot acquire reg_mutex, since that could cause a deadlock between the ioctl delete case acquiring event_mutex after acquiring the reg_mutex.

2022-02-10user_events: Add minimal support for trace_event into ftraceBeau Belgrave
Minimal support for interacting with dynamic events, trace_event and ftrace. Core outline of flow between user process, ioctl and trace_event APIs. User mode processes that wish to use trace events to get data into ftrace, perf, eBPF, etc are limited to uprobes today. The user events features enables an ABI for user mode processes to create and write to trace events that are isolated from kernel level trace events. This enables a faster path for tracing from user mode data as well as opens managed code to participate in trace events, where stub locations are dynamic. User processes often want to trace only when it's useful. To enable this a set of pages are mapped into the user process space that indicate the current state of the user events that have been registered. User processes can check if their event is hooked to a trace/probe, and if it is, emit the event data out via the write() syscall. Two new files are introduced into tracefs to accomplish this: user_events_status - This file is mmap'd into participating user mode processes to indicate event status. user_events_data - This file is opened and register/delete ioctl's are issued to create/open/delete trace events that can be used for tracing. The typical scenario is on process start to mmap user_events_status. Processes then register the events they plan to use via the REG ioctl. The ioctl reads and updates the passed in user_reg struct. The status_index of the struct is used to know the byte in the status page to check for that event. The write_index of the struct is used to describe that event when writing out to the fd that was used for the ioctl call. The data must always include this index first when writing out data for an event. Data can be written either by write() or by writev(). For example, in memory: int index; char data[]; Psuedo code example of typical usage: struct user_reg reg; int page_fd = open("user_events_status", O_RDWR); char *page_data = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, page_fd, 0); close(page_fd); int data_fd = open("user_events_data", O_RDWR); reg.size = sizeof(reg); reg.name_args = (__u64)"test"; ioctl(data_fd, DIAG_IOCSREG, &reg); int status_id = reg.status_index; int write_id = reg.write_index; struct iovec io[2]; io[0].iov_base = &write_id; io[0].iov_len = sizeof(write_id); io[1].iov_base = payload; io[1].iov_len = sizeof(payload); if (page_data[status_id]) writev(data_fd, io, 2); User events are also exposed via the dynamic_events tracefs file for both create and delete. Current status is exposed via the user_events_status tracefs file. Simple example to register a user event via dynamic_events: echo u:test >> dynamic_events cat dynamic_events u:test If an event is hooked to a probe, the probe hooked shows up: echo 1 > events/user_events/test/enable cat user_events_status 1:test # Used by ftrace Active: 1 Busy: 1 Max: 4096 If an event is not hooked to a probe, no probe status shows up: echo 0 > events/user_events/test/enable cat user_events_status 1:test Active: 1 Busy: 0 Max: 4096 Users can describe the trace event format via the following format: name[:FLAG1[,FLAG2...] [field1[;field2...]] Each field has the following format: type name Example for char array with a size of 20 named msg: echo 'u:detailed char[20] msg' >> dynamic_events cat dynamic_events u:detailed char[20] msg Data offsets are based on the data written out via write() and will be updated to reflect the correct offset in the trace_event fields. For dynamic data it is recommended to use the new __rel_loc data type. This type will be the same as __data_loc, but the offset is relative to this entry. This allows user_events to not worry about what common fields are being inserted before the data. The above format is valid for both the ioctl and the dynamic_events file.
