2024-03-06tracing: Remove precision vsnprintf() check from print eventSteven Rostedt (Google)
This reverts 60be76eeabb3d ("tracing: Add size check when printing trace_marker output"). The only reason the precision check was added was because of a bug that miscalculated the write size of the string into the ring buffer and it truncated it removing the terminating nul byte. On reading the trace it crashed the kernel. But this was due to the bug in the code that happened during development and should never happen in practice. If anything, the precision can hide bugs where the string in the ring buffer isn't nul terminated and it will not be checked.

2023-12-12tracing: Add size check when printing trace_marker outputSteven Rostedt (Google)
If for some reason the trace_marker write does not have a nul byte for the string, it will overflow the print: trace_seq_printf(s, ": %s", field->buf); The field->buf could be missing the nul byte. To prevent overflow, add the max size that the buf can be by using the event size and the field location. int max = iter->ent_size - offsetof(struct print_entry, buf); trace_seq_printf(s, ": %*.s", max, field->buf); Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231212084444.4619b8ce@gandalf.local.home Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2023-10-19fs: create helper file_user_path() for user displayed mapped file pathAmir Goldstein
Overlayfs uses backing files with "fake" overlayfs f_path and "real" underlying f_inode, in order to use underlying inode aops for mapped files and to display the overlayfs path in /proc/<pid>/maps. In preparation for storing the overlayfs "fake" path instead of the underlying "real" path in struct backing_file, define a noop helper file_user_path() that returns f_path for now. Use the new helper in procfs and kernel logs whenever a path of a mapped file is displayed to users.

2023-06-30Merge tag 'trace-v6.5' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add new feature to have function graph tracer record the return value. Adds a new option: funcgraph-retval ; when set, will show the return value of a function in the function graph tracer. - Also add the option: funcgraph-retval-hex where if it is not set, and the return value is an error code, then it will return the decimal of the error code, otherwise it still reports the hex value. - Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu<cpu>/timerlat_fd That when a application opens it, it becomes the task that the timer lat tracer traces. The application can also read this file to find out how it's being interrupted. - Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/available_filter_functions_addrs that works just the same as available_filter_functions but also shows the addresses of the functions like kallsyms, except that it gives the address of where the fentry/mcount jump/nop is. This is used by BPF to make it easier to attach BPF programs to ftrace hooks. - Replace strlcpy with strscpy in the tracing boot code. * tag 'trace-v6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Fix warnings when building htmldocs for function graph retval riscv: ftrace: Enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL tracing/boot: Replace strlcpy with strscpy tracing/timerlat: Add user-space interface tracing/osnoise: Skip running osnoise if all instances are off tracing/osnoise: Switch from PF_NO_SETAFFINITY to migrate_disable ftrace: Show all functions with addresses in available_filter_functions_addrs selftests/ftrace: Add funcgraph-retval test case LoongArch: ftrace: Enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL x86/ftrace: Enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL arm64: ftrace: Enable HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL tracing: Add documentation for funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retval-hex function_graph: Support recording and printing the return value of function fgraph: Add declaration of "struct fgraph_ret_regs"
2023-06-22tracing/timerlat: Add user-space interfaceDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
Going a step further, we propose a way to use any user-space workload as the task waiting for the timerlat timer. This is done via a per-CPU file named osnoise/cpu$id/timerlat_fd file. The tracef_fd allows a task to open at a time. When a task reads the file, the timerlat timer is armed for future osnoise/timerlat_period_us time. When the timer fires, it prints the IRQ latency and wakes up the user-space thread waiting in the timerlat_fd. The thread then starts to run, executes the timerlat measurement, prints the thread scheduling latency and returns to user-space. When the thread rereads the timerlat_fd, the tracer will print the user-ret(urn) latency, which is an additional metric. This additional metric is also traced by the tracer and can be used, for example of measuring the context switch overhead from kernel-to-user and user-to-kernel, or the response time for an arbitrary execution in user-space. The tracer supports one thread per CPU, the thread must be pinned to the CPU, and it cannot migrate while holding the timerlat_fd. The reason is that the tracer is per CPU (nothing prohibits the tracer from allowing migrations in the future). The tracer monitors the migration of the thread and disables the tracer if detected. The timerlat_fd is only available for opening/reading when timerlat tracer is enabled, and NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set. The simplest way to activate this feature from user-space is: -------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------- int main(void) { char buffer[1024]; int timerlat_fd; int retval; long cpu = 0; /* place in CPU 0 */ cpu_set_t set; CPU_ZERO(&set); CPU_SET(cpu, &set); if (sched_setaffinity(gettid(), sizeof(set), &set) == -1) return 1; snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu%ld/timerlat_fd", cpu); timerlat_fd = open(buffer, O_RDONLY); if (timerlat_fd < 0) { printf("error opening %s: %s\n", buffer, strerror(errno)); exit(1); } for (;;) { retval = read(timerlat_fd, buffer, 1024); if (retval < 0) break; } close(timerlat_fd); exit(0); } -------------------------------- >% ----------------------------------- When disabling timerlat, if there is a workload holding the timerlat_fd, the SIGKILL will be sent to the thread.

2023-04-25tracing: Fix print_fields() for __dyn_loc/__rel_locBeau Belgrave
Both print_fields() and print_array() do not handle if dynamic data ends at the last byte of the payload for both __dyn_loc and __rel_loc field types. For __rel_loc, the offset was off by 4 bytes, leading to incorrect strings and data being printed out. In print_array() the buffer pos was missed from being advanced, which results in the first payload byte being used as the offset base instead of the field offset. Advance __rel_loc offset by 4 to ensure correct offset and advance pos to the field offset to ensure correct data is displayed when printing arrays. Change >= to > when checking if data is in-bounds, since it's valid for dynamic data to include the last byte of the payload. Example outputs for event 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:__rel_loc char text[]; offset:8; size:4; signed:1; Output before: tp_rel_loc: text=<OVERFLOW> Output after: tp_rel_loc: text=Test Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230419214140.4158-3-beaub@linux.microsoft.com Fixes: 80a76994b2d8 ("tracing: Add "fields" option to show raw trace event fields") Reported-by: Doug Cook <dcook@linux.microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Beau Belgrave <beaub@linux.microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2023-01-24tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can output as soon as it can be usedSteven Rostedt (Google)
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.

2022-11-23tracing: Optimize event type allocation with IDAZheng Yejian
After commit 060fa5c83e67 ("tracing/events: reuse trace event ids after overflow"), trace events with dynamic type are linked up in list 'ftrace_event_list' through field 'trace_event.list'. Then when max event type number used up, it's possible to reuse type number of some freed one by traversing 'ftrace_event_list'. As instead, using IDA to manage available type numbers can make codes simpler and then the field 'trace_event.list' can be dropped. Since 'struct trace_event' is used in static tracepoints, drop 'trace_event.list' can make vmlinux smaller.

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.

2021-06-25trace: Add timerlat tracerDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers to found souces of wakeup latencies of real-time threads. Like cyclictest, the tracer sets a periodic timer that wakes up a thread. The thread then computes a *wakeup latency* value as the difference between the *current time* and the *absolute time* that the timer was set to expire. The main goal of timerlat is tracing in such a way to help kernel developers. Usage Write the ASCII text "timerlat" into the current_tracer file of the tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing). For example: [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ [root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file: [root@f32 tracing]# cat trace # tracer: timerlat # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # || / # |||| ACTIVATION # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP ID CONTEXT LATENCY # | | | |||| | | | | <idle>-0 [000] d.h1 54.029328: #1 context irq timer_latency 932 ns <...>-867 [000] .... 54.029339: #1 context thread timer_latency 11700 ns <idle>-0 [001] dNh1 54.029346: #1 context irq timer_latency 2833 ns <...>-868 [001] .... 54.029353: #1 context thread timer_latency 9820 ns <idle>-0 [000] d.h1 54.030328: #2 context irq timer_latency 769 ns <...>-867 [000] .... 54.030330: #2 context thread timer_latency 3070 ns <idle>-0 [001] d.h1 54.030344: #2 context irq timer_latency 935 ns <...>-868 [001] .... 54.030347: #2 context thread timer_latency 4351 ns The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority that prints two lines at every activation. The first is the *timer latency* observed at the *hardirq* context before the activation of the thread. The second is the *timer latency* observed by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the *irq* execution to its respective *thread* execution. The irq/thread splitting is important to clarify at which context the unexpected high value is coming from. The *irq* context can be delayed by hardware related actions, such as SMIs, NMIs, IRQs or by a thread masking interrupts. Once the timer happens, the delay can also be influenced by blocking caused by threads. For example, by postponing the scheduler execution via preempt_disable(), by the scheduler execution, or by masking interrupts. Threads can also be delayed by the interference from other threads and IRQs. The timerlat can also take advantage of the osnoise: traceevents. For example: [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ [root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer [root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > set_event [root@f32 tracing]# echo 25 > osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us [root@f32 tracing]# tail -10 trace cc1-87882 [005] d..h... 548.771078: #402268 context irq timer_latency 1585 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh1.. 548.771082: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 548.771077442 duration 4597 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771083: irq_noise: reschedule:253 start 548.771083017 duration 56 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771086: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771083811 duration 2048 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771088: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771086814 duration 1495 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771091: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771089194 duration 1558 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771094: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771091719 duration 1932 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771096: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771094696 duration 1050 ns cc1-87882 [005] d...3.. 548.771101: thread_noise: cc1:87882 start 548.771078243 duration 10909 ns timerlat/5-1035 [005] ....... 548.771103: #402268 context thread timer_latency 25960 ns For further information see: Documentation/trace/timerlat-tracer.rst Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/71f18efc013e1194bcaea1e54db957de2b19ba62.1624372313.git.bristot@redhat.com Cc: Phil Auld <pauld@redhat.com> Cc: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Cc: Kate Carcia <kcarcia@redhat.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Alexandre Chartre <alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> Cc: Clark Willaims <williams@redhat.com> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: "H.

2021-06-25trace: Add osnoise tracerDaniel Bristot de Oliveira
In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating System Noise (*osnoise*) refers to the interference experienced by an application due to activities inside the operating system. In the context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can also cause noise, for example, via SMIs. The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all the sources of *osnoise* during its execution. Using the same approach of hwlat, osnoise takes note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens without any interference from the operating system level, the hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources. Usage Write the ASCII text "osnoise" into the current_tracer file of the tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing). For example:: [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ [root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > current_tracer It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file:: [root@f32 tracing]# cat trace # tracer: osnoise # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth MAX # || / SINGLE Interference counters: # |||| RUNTIME NOISE % OF CPU NOISE +-----------------------------+ # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP IN US IN US AVAILABLE IN US HW NMI IRQ SIRQ THREAD # | | | |||| | | | | | | | | | | <...>-859 [000] .... 81.637220: 1000000 190 99.98100 9 18 0 1007 18 1 <...>-860 [001] .... 81.638154: 1000000 656 99.93440 74 23 0 1006 16 3 <...>-861 [002] .... 81.638193: 1000000 5675 99.43250 202 6 0 1013 25 21 <...>-862 [003] .... 81.638242: 1000000 125 99.98750 45 1 0 1011 23 0 <...>-863 [004] .... 81.638260: 1000000 1721 99.82790 168 7 0 1002 49 41 <...>-864 [005] .... 81.638286: 1000000 263 99.97370 57 6 0 1006 26 2 <...>-865 [006] .... 81.638302: 1000000 109 99.98910 21 3 0 1006 18 1 <...>-866 [007] .... 81.638326: 1000000 7816 99.21840 107 8 0 1016 39 19 In addition to the regular trace fields (from TASK-PID to TIMESTAMP), the tracer prints a message at the end of each period for each CPU that is running an osnoise/CPU thread. The osnoise specific fields report: - The RUNTIME IN USE reports the amount of time in microseconds that the osnoise thread kept looping reading the time. - The NOISE IN US reports the sum of noise in microseconds observed by the osnoise tracer during the associated runtime. - The % OF CPU AVAILABLE reports the percentage of CPU available for the osnoise thread during the runtime window. - The MAX SINGLE NOISE IN US reports the maximum single noise observed during the runtime window. - The Interference counters display how many each of the respective interference happened during the runtime window. Note that the example above shows a high number of HW noise samples. The reason being is that this sample was taken on a virtual machine, and the host interference is detected as a hardware interference. Tracer options The tracer has a set of options inside the osnoise directory, they are: - osnoise/cpus: CPUs at which a osnoise thread will execute. - osnoise/period_us: the period of the osnoise thread. - osnoise/runtime_us: how long an osnoise thread will look for noise. - osnoise/stop_tracing_us: stop the system tracing if a single noise higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this option. - osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us: stop the system tracing if total noise higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this option. - tracing_threshold: the minimum delta between two time() reads to be considered as noise, in us. When set to 0, the default value will be used, which is currently 5 us. Additional Tracing In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to facilitate the identification of the osnoise source. - osnoise:sample_threshold: printed anytime a noise is higher than the configurable tolerance_ns. - osnoise:nmi_noise: noise from NMI, including the duration. - osnoise:irq_noise: noise from an IRQ, including the duration. - osnoise:softirq_noise: noise from a SoftIRQ, including the duration. - osnoise:thread_noise: noise from a thread, including the duration. Note that all the values are *net values*. For example, if while osnoise is running, another thread preempts the osnoise thread, it will start a thread_noise duration at the start. Then, an IRQ takes place, preempting the thread_noise, starting a irq_noise. When the IRQ ends its execution, it will compute its duration, and this duration will be subtracted from the thread_noise, in such a way as to avoid the double accounting of the IRQ execution. This logic is valid for all sources of noise. Here is one example of the usage of these tracepoints:: osnoise/8-961 [008] d.h. 5789.857532: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.857529929 duration 1845 ns osnoise/8-961 [008] dNh. 5789.858408: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.858404871 duration 2848 ns migration/8-54 [008] d... 5789.858413: thread_noise: migration/8:54 start 5789.858409300 duration 3068 ns osnoise/8-961 [008] .... 5789.858413: sample_threshold: start 5789.858404555 duration 8723 ns interferences 2 In this example, a noise sample of 8 microseconds was reported in the last line, pointing to two interferences. Looking backward in the trace, the two previous entries were about the migration thread running after a timer IRQ execution. The first event is not part of the noise because it took place one millisecond before. It is worth noticing that the sum of the duration reported in the tracepoints is smaller than eight us reported in the sample_threshold. The reason roots in the overhead of the entry and exit code that happens before and after any interference execution. This justifies the dual approach: measuring thread and tracing.

2021-03-18tracing: Add a verifier to check string pointers for trace eventsSteven Rostedt (VMware)
It is a common mistake for someone writing a trace event to save a pointer to a string in the TP_fast_assign() and then display that string pointer in the TP_printk() with %s. The problem is that those two events may happen a long time apart, where the source of the string may no longer exist. The proper way to handle displaying any string that is not guaranteed to be in the kernel core rodata section, is to copy it into the ring buffer via the __string(), __assign_str() and __get_str() helper macros. Add a check at run time while displaying the TP_printk() of events to make sure that every %s referenced is safe to dereference, and if it is not, trigger a warning and only show the address of the pointer, and the dereferenced string if it can be safely retrieved with a strncpy_from_kernel_nofault() call. In order to not have to copy the parsing of vsnprintf() formats, or even exporting its code, the verifier relies on vsnprintf() being able to modify the va_list that is passed to it, and it remains modified after it is called. This is the case for some architectures like x86_64, but other architectures like x86_32 pass the va_list to vsnprintf() as a value not a reference, and the verifier can not use it to parse the non string arguments. Thus, at boot up, it is checked if vsnprintf() modifies the passed in va_list or not, and a static branch will disable the verifier if it's not compatible.

2021-02-11tracing: Show real address for trace event argumentsMasami Hiramatsu
To help debugging kernel, show real address for trace event arguments in tracefs/trace{,pipe} instead of hashed pointer value. Since ftrace human-readable format uses vsprintf(), all %p are translated to hash values instead of pointer address. However, when debugging the kernel, raw address value gives a hint when comparing with the memory mapping in the kernel. (Those are sometimes used with crash log, which is not hashed too) So converting %p with %px when calling trace_seq_printf(). Moreover, this is not improving the security because the tracefs can be used only by root user and the raw address values are readable from tracefs/percpu/cpu*/trace_pipe_raw file.

2020-09-18tracing: Make the space reserved for the pid widerSebastian Andrzej Siewior
For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to 4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default becomes 131072 which needs six digits. This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the initial upper limit. Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like on big iron with 98+ CPUs). Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

2020-03-19tracing: Save off entry when peeking at next entrySteven Rostedt (VMware)
In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating, it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable. There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single copy, this use case will no longer be supported. Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer. As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

Without this, buffers can be printed with __print_array macro that has no formatting options and can be hard to read. The other way is to mimic formatting capability with multiple calls of trace event with one call per row which gives performance impact and different timestamp in each row.

2019-07-19tracing: Fix user stack trace "??" outputEiichi Tsukata
Commit c5c27a0a5838 ("x86/stacktrace: Remove the pointless ULONG_MAX marker") removes ULONG_MAX marker from user stack trace entries but trace_user_stack_print() still uses the marker and it outputs unnecessary "??". For example: less-1911 [001] d..2 34.758944: <user stack trace> => <00007f16f2295910> => ?? => ?? => ?? => ?? => ?? => ?? => ?? The user stack trace code zeroes the storage before saving the stack, so if the trace is shorter than the maximum number of entries it can terminate the print loop if a zero entry is detected.

2018-12-22tracing: Simplify printf'ing in seq_print_symRasmus Villemoes
trace_seq_printf(..., "%s", ...) can be done with trace_seq_puts() instead, avoiding printf overhead. In the second instance, the string we're copying was just created from an snprintf() to a stack buffer, so we might as well do that printf directly. This naturally leads to moving the declaration of the str buffer inside the CONFIG_KALLSYMS guard, which in turn will make gcc inline the function for !CONFIG_KALLSYMS (it only has a single caller, but the huge stack frame seems to make gcc not inline it for CONFIG_KALLSYMS).

That also paves the way for further cleanups that will actually make that format string go away entirely.

From v4.13 onwards things will break. The chrome browser's tracing tools also embed the systrace viewer which uses the legacy TGID format and updates to that are known to be difficult to make. Considering this, I suggest we make this change to the upstream kernel and backport it to all Android kernels. I believe this feature is merged recently enough into the upstream kernel that it shouldn't be a problem. Also logically, IMO it makes more sense to group the TGID with the TASK-PID and the CPU after these.
