2024-03-07tracing/probes: Support $argN in return probe (kprobe and fprobe)Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Support accessing $argN in the return probe events. This will help users to record entry data in function return (exit) event for simplfing the function entry/exit information in one event, and record the result values (e.g. allocated object/initialized object) at function exit. For example, if we have a function `int init_foo(struct foo *obj, int param)` sometimes we want to check how `obj` is initialized. In such case, we can define a new return event like below; # echo 'r init_foo retval=$retval param=$arg2 field1=+0($arg1)' >> kprobe_events Thus it records the function parameter `param` and its result `obj->field1` (the dereference will be done in the function exit timing) value at once. This also support fprobe, BTF args and'$arg*'. So if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled, we can trace both function parameters and the return value by following command. # echo 'f target_function%return $arg* $retval' >> dynamic_events Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/170952365552.229804.224112990211602895.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Instead of incrementing the trace_probe::nr_args, init it at trace_probe_init(). Without this change, there is no way to get the number of trace_probe arguments while parsing it. This is a cleanup, so the behavior is not changed.

2023-10-20tracing/kprobes: Return EADDRNOTAVAIL when func matches several symbolsFrancis Laniel
When a kprobe is attached to a function that's name is not unique (is static and shares the name with other functions in the kernel), the kprobe is attached to the first function it finds. This is a bug as the function that it is attaching to is not necessarily the one that the user wants to attach to. Instead of blindly picking a function to attach to what is ambiguous, error with EADDRNOTAVAIL to let the user know that this function is not unique, and that the user must use another unique function with an address offset to get to the function they want to attach to.

Add a string type checking with BTF information if possible. This will check whether the given BTF argument (and field) is signed char array or pointer to signed char. If not, it reject the 'string' type. If it is pointer to signed char, it adds a dereference opration so that it can correctly fetch the string data from memory. # echo 'f getname_flags%return retval->name:string' >> dynamic_events # echo 't sched_switch next->comm:string' >> dynamic_events The above cases, 'struct filename::name' is 'char *' and 'struct task_struct::comm' is 'char []'. But in both case, user can specify ':string' to fetch the string data.

2023-08-23tracing/probes: Support BTF argument on module functionsMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Since the btf returned from bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() only covers functions in the vmlinux, BTF argument is not available on the functions in the modules. Use bpf_find_btf_id() instead of bpf_get_btf_vmlinux()+btf_find_name_kind() so that BTF argument can find the correct struct btf and btf_type in it. With this fix, fprobe events can use `$arg*` on module functions as below # grep nf_log_ip_packet /proc/kallsyms ffffffffa0005c00 t nf_log_ip_packet [nf_log_syslog] ffffffffa0005bf0 t __pfx_nf_log_ip_packet [nf_log_syslog] # echo 'f nf_log_ip_packet $arg*' > dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events f:fprobes/nf_log_ip_packet__entry nf_log_ip_packet net=net pf=pf hooknum=hooknum skb=skb in=in out=out loginfo=loginfo prefix=prefix To support the module's btf which is removable, the struct btf needs to be ref-counted. So this also records the btf in the traceprobe_parse_context and returns the refcount when the parse has done.

2023-08-07bpf: Add support for bpf_get_func_ip helper for uprobe programJiri Olsa
Adding support for bpf_get_func_ip helper for uprobe program to return probed address for both uprobe and return uprobe. We discussed this in [1] and agreed that uprobe can have special use of bpf_get_func_ip helper that differs from kprobe. The kprobe bpf_get_func_ip returns: - address of the function if probe is attach on function entry for both kprobe and return kprobe - 0 if the probe is not attach on function entry The uprobe bpf_get_func_ip returns: - address of the probe for both uprobe and return uprobe The reason for this semantic change is that kernel can't really tell if the probe user space address is function entry. The uprobe program is actually kprobe type program attached as uprobe. One of the consequences of this design is that uprobes do not have its own set of helpers, but share them with kprobes. As we need different functionality for bpf_get_func_ip helper for uprobe, I'm adding the bool value to the bpf_trace_run_ctx, so the helper can detect that it's executed in uprobe context and call specific code. The is_uprobe bool is set as true in bpf_prog_run_array_sleepable, which is currently used only for executing bpf programs in uprobe. Renaming bpf_prog_run_array_sleepable to bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe to address that it's only used for uprobes and that it sets the run_ctx.is_uprobe as suggested by Yafang Shao.

NOTE: This seems like a wildcard, but a fake one at this moment. This is just for telling user that this can be expanded to several arguments. And it is not like other $-vars, you can not use this $arg* as a part of fetch args, e.g. specifying name "foo=$arg*" and using it in dereferences "+0($arg*)" will lead a parse error.

2023-06-06tracing/probes: Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit.Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, it is not available if the architecture only supports CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture. But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events. The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function (symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments so that user can trace the function arguments and return values. The fprobe events syntax is here; f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS] f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS] E.g. # echo 'f vfs_read $arg1' >> dynamic_events # echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval' >> dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1 f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval # echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable # head -n 20 trace | tail # TASK-PID CPU# ||||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | ||||| | | sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386420: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386436: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386451: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386458: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386469: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386476: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.602073: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.602089: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/168507469754.913472.6112857614708350210.stgit@mhiramat.roam.corp.google.com/ Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/202302011530.7vm4O8Ro-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

This patch will move it to trace_probe.c as an new API, each probe calls it to print their args in trace file.

2023-02-21tracing/probe: add a char type to show the character value of traced argumentsDonglin Peng
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',''} Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221219110613.367098-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Donglin Peng <dolinux.peng@gmail.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

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.

Add the filter option to the event probe. This is useful if user wants to derive a new event based on the condition of the original event. E.g. echo 'e:egroup/stat_runtime_4core sched/sched_stat_runtime \ runtime=$runtime:u32 if cpu < 4' >> ../dynamic_events Then it can filter the events only on first 4 cores. Note that the fields used for 'if' must be the fields in the original events, not eprobe events.

2022-02-25eprobes: Remove redundant event type informationSteven Rostedt (Google)
Currently, the event probes save the type of the event they are attached to when recording the event. For example: # echo 'e:switch sched/sched_switch prev_state=$prev_state prev_prio=$prev_prio next_pid=$next_pid next_prio=$next_prio' > dynamic_events # cat events/eprobes/switch/format name: switch ID: 1717 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:unsigned int __probe_type; offset:8; size:4; signed:0; field:u64 prev_state; offset:12; size:8; signed:0; field:u64 prev_prio; offset:20; size:8; signed:0; field:u64 next_pid; offset:28; size:8; signed:0; field:u64 next_prio; offset:36; size:8; signed:0; print fmt: "(%u) prev_state=0x%Lx prev_prio=0x%Lx next_pid=0x%Lx next_prio=0x%Lx", REC->__probe_type, REC->prev_state, REC->prev_prio, REC->next_pid, REC->next_prio The __probe_type adds 4 bytes to every event. One of the reasons for creating eprobes is to limit what is traced in an event to be able to limit what is written into the ring buffer. Having this redundant 4 bytes to every event takes away from this. The event that is recorded can be retrieved from the event probe itself, that is available when the trace is happening. For user space tools, it could simply read the dynamic_event file to find the event they are for. So there is really no reason to write this information into the ring buffer for every event.

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.

Since kprobe_events and uprobe_events only check whether the other same-type probe event has the same name or not, if the user gives the same name of the existing tracepoint event (or the other type of probe events), it silently fails to create the tracefs entry (but registered.) as below. /sys/kernel/tracing # ls events/task/task_rename enable filter format hist id trigger /sys/kernel/tracing # echo p:task/task_rename vfs_read >> kprobe_events [ 113.048508] Could not create tracefs 'task_rename' directory /sys/kernel/tracing # cat kprobe_events p:task/task_rename vfs_read To fix this issue, check whether the existing events have the same name or not in trace_probe_register_event_call().

These two places allocate this buffer and then free it right after calling this function, leaving the onus of this allocation to the caller. As there's about to be a third user of this function that will have to do the same thing, instead of having the caller allocate the temporary buffer, simply move that allocation into the traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() itself, which will simplify the code of the callers.

Fix double perf_event linking to trace_uprobe_filter on multiple uprobe event by moving trace_uprobe_filter under trace_probe_event. In uprobe perf event, trace_uprobe_filter data structure is managing target mm filters (in perf_event) related to each uprobe event. Since commit 60d53e2c3b75 ("tracing/probe: Split trace_event related data from trace_probe") left the trace_uprobe_filter data structure in trace_uprobe, if a trace_probe_event has multiple trace_uprobe (multi-probe event), a perf_event is added to different trace_uprobe_filter on each trace_uprobe. This leads a linked list corruption. To fix this issue, move trace_uprobe_filter to trace_probe_event and link it once on each event instead of each probe.

2019-07-16tracing/probe: Add trace_probe init and free functionsMasami Hiramatsu
Add common trace_probe init and cleanup function in trace_probe.c, and use it from trace_kprobe.c and trace_uprobe.c Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/155931582664.28323.5934870189034740822.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2019-05-25tracing/probe: Support user-space dereferenceMasami Hiramatsu
Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space. The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value. +|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>) e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si)) For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy, param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new probe as below; p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3) Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the dereference method automatically because we do not know whether the given address is in userspace or kernel on some archs. So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to carefully choose the dereference method.
