2025-07-11bpf: Add attach_type field to bpf_linkTao Chen
Attach_type will be set when a link is created by user. It is better to record attach_type in bpf_link generically and have it available universally for all link types. So add the attach_type field in bpf_link and move the sleepable field to avoid unnecessary gap padding.

2025-07-09fgraph: Make pid_str size match the commentArtem Sadovnikov
The comment above buffer mentions sign, 10 bytes width for number and null terminator, but buffer itself isn't large enough to hold that much data. This is a cosmetic change, since PID cannot be negative, other than -1. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

2025-07-09tracing: ring_buffer: Rewind persistent ring buffer on rebootMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Rewind persistent ring buffer pages which have been read in the previous boot. Those pages are highly possible to be lost before writing it to the disk if the previous kernel crashed. In this case, the trace data is kept on the persistent ring buffer, but it can not be read because its commit size has been reset after read. This skips clearing the commit size of each sub-buffer and recover it after reboot. Note: If you read the previous boot data via trace_pipe, that is not accessible in that time. But reboot without clearing (or reusing) the read data, the read data is recovered again in the next boot. Thus, when you read the previous boot data, clear it by `echo > trace`.

As same as fprobe, register tracepoint stub function only when enabling tprobe events. The major changes are introducing a list of tracepoint_user and its lock, and tprobe_event_module_nb, which is another module notifier for module loading/unloading. By spliting the lock from event_mutex and a module notifier for trace_fprobe, it solved AB-BA lock dependency issue between event_mutex and tracepoint_module_list_mutex.

If the allocation of "item" fails, it frees "head" and then jumps to the label "free_now" which will process head and free it.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull more tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix regression of waiting a long time on updating trace event filters When the faultable trace points were added, it needed task trace RCU synchronization. This was added to the tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() function. The filter logic always called this function whenever it updated the trace event filters before freeing the old filters. This increased the time of "trace-cmd record" from taking 13 seconds to running over 2 minutes to complete. Move the freeing of the filters to call_rcu*() logic, which brings the time back down to 13 seconds. - Fix ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() error path lock protection The error path of the ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() released the mutex too early and allowed subsequent accesses to setting the subbuffer size to corrupt the data and cause a bug. By moving the mutex locking to the end of the error path, it prevents the reentrant access to the critical data and also allows the function to convert the taking of the mutex over to the guard() logic. - Remove unused power management clock events The clock events were added in 2010 for power management. In 2011 arm used them. In 2013 the code they were used in was removed. These events have been wasting memory since then. - Fix sparse warnings There was a few places that sparse warned about trace_events_filter.c where file->filter was referenced directly, but it is annotated with an __rcu tag. Use the helper functions and fix them up to use rcu_dereference() properly. * tag 'trace-v6.16-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: tracing: Add rcu annotation around file->filter accesses tracing: PM: Remove unused clock events ring-buffer: Fix buffer locking in ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() tracing: Fix regression of filter waiting a long time on RCU synchronization

Running sparse on trace_events_filter.c triggered several warnings about file->filter being accessed directly even though it's annotated with __rcu. Add rcu_dereference() around it and shuffle the logic slightly so that it's always referenced via accessor functions.

2025-06-06tracing: Fix regression of filter waiting a long time on RCU synchronizationSteven Rostedt
When faultable trace events were added, a trace event may no longer use normal RCU to synchronize but instead used synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace(). This synchronization takes a much longer time to synchronize. The filter logic would free the filters by calling tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() after it unhooked the filter strings and before freeing them. With this function now calling synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() this increased the time to free a filter tremendously. On a PREEMPT_RT system, it was even more noticeable. # time trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1 [..] real 2m29.052s user 0m0.244s sys 0m20.136s As trace-cmd would clear out all the filters before recording, it could take up to 2 minutes to do a recording of "sleep 1". To find out where the issues was: ~# trace-cmd sqlhist -e -n sched_stack select start.prev_state as state, end.next_comm as comm, TIMESTAMP_DELTA_USECS as delta, start.STACKTRACE as stack from sched_switch as start join sched_switch as end on start.prev_pid = end.next_pid Which will produce the following commands (and -e will also execute them): echo 's:sched_stack s64 state; char comm[16]; u64 delta; unsigned long stack[];' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid:__arg_18057_2=prev_state,__arg_18057_4=common_timestamp.usecs,__arg_18057_7=common_stacktrace' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:__state_18057_1=$__arg_18057_2,__comm_18057_3=next_comm,__delta_18057_5=common_timestamp.usecs-$__arg_18057_4,__stack_18057_6=$__arg_18057_7:onmatch(sched.sched_switch).trace(sched_stack,$__state_18057_1,$__comm_18057_3,$__delta_18057_5,$__stack_18057_6)' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger The above creates a synthetic event that creates a stack trace when a task schedules out and records it with the time it scheduled back in. Basically the time a task is off the CPU. It also records the state of the task when it left the CPU (running, blocked, sleeping, etc). It also saves the comm of the task as "comm" (needed for the next command). ~# echo 'hist:keys=state,stack.stacktrace:vals=delta:sort=state,delta if comm == "trace-cmd" && state & 3' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/sched_stack/trigger The above creates a histogram with buckets per state, per stack, and the value of the total time it was off the CPU for that stack trace. It filters on tasks with "comm == trace-cmd" and only the sleeping and blocked states (1 - sleeping, 2 - blocked). ~# trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1 ~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/sched_stack/hist | tail -18 { state: 2, stack.stacktrace __schedule+0x1545/0x3700 schedule+0xe2/0x390 schedule_timeout+0x175/0x200 wait_for_completion_state+0x294/0x440 __wait_rcu_gp+0x247/0x4f0 synchronize_rcu_tasks_generic+0x151/0x230 apply_subsystem_event_filter+0xa2b/0x1300 subsystem_filter_write+0x67/0xc0 vfs_write+0x1e2/0xeb0 ksys_write+0xff/0x1d0 do_syscall_64+0x7b/0x420 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e } hitcount: 237 delta: 99756288 <<--------------- Delta is 99 seconds! Totals: Hits: 525 Entries: 21 Dropped: 0 This shows that this particular trace waited for 99 seconds on synchronize_rcu_tasks() in apply_subsystem_event_filter(). In fact, there's a lot of places in the filter code that spends a lot of time waiting for synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() in order to free the filters. Add helper functions that will use call_rcu*() variants to asynchronously free the filters. This brings the timings back to normal: # time trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1 [..] real 0m14.681s user 0m0.335s sys 0m28.616s And the histogram also shows this: ~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/sched_stack/hist | tail -21 { state: 2, stack.stacktrace __schedule+0x1545/0x3700 schedule+0xe2/0x390 schedule_timeout+0x175/0x200 wait_for_completion_state+0x294/0x440 __wait_rcu_gp+0x247/0x4f0 synchronize_rcu_normal+0x3db/0x5c0 tracing_reset_online_cpus+0x8f/0x1e0 tracing_open+0x335/0x440 do_dentry_open+0x4c6/0x17a0 vfs_open+0x82/0x360 path_openat+0x1a36/0x2990 do_filp_open+0x1c5/0x420 do_sys_openat2+0xed/0x180 __x64_sys_openat+0x108/0x1d0 do_syscall_64+0x7b/0x420 } hitcount: 2 delta: 77044 Totals: Hits: 55 Entries: 28 Dropped: 0 Where the total waiting time of synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() is 77 milliseconds.

The following ftrace patch for riscv uses a data store to update ftrace function. Therefore, a romote fence is required to order it against function_trace_op updates. The mechanism is similar to the fence between function_trace_op and update_ftrace_func in the generic ftrace, so we leverage the same ftrace_sync_ipi function.

The problem is when a module triggers an issue with ftrace and sets ftrace_disable. The ftrace_disable is set when an anomaly is discovered and to prevent any more damage, ftrace stops all text modification. The issue that happened was that the ftrace_disable stops more than just the text modification. When a module is loaded, its init functions can also be traced. Because kallsyms deletes the init functions after a module has loaded, ftrace saves them when the module is loaded and function tracing is enabled. This allows the output of the function trace to show the init function names instead of just their raw memory addresses. When a module is removed, ftrace_release_mod() is called, and if ftrace_disable is set, it just returns without doing anything more. The problem here is that it leaves the mod_list still around and if kallsyms is called, it will call into this code and access the module memory that has already been freed as it will return: strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN); Where the "mod" no longer exists and triggers a UAF bug.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - Allow the persistent ring buffer to be memory mapped In the last merge window there was issues with the implementation of mapping the persistent ring buffer because it was assumed that the persistent memory was just physical memory without being part of the kernel virtual address space. But this was incorrect and the persistent ring buffer can be mapped the same way as the allocated ring buffer is mapped. The metadata for the persistent ring buffer is different than the normal ring buffer and the organization of mapping it to user space is a little different. Make the updates needed to the meta data to allow the persistent ring buffer to be mapped to user space. - Fix cpus_read_lock() with buffer->mutex and cpu_buffer->mapping_lock Mapping the ring buffer to user space uses the cpu_buffer->mapping_lock. The buffer->mutex can be taken when the mapping_lock is held, giving the locking order of: cpu_buffer->mapping_lock -->> buffer->mutex. But there also exists the ordering: buffer->mutex -->> cpus_read_lock() mm->mmap_lock -->> cpu_buffer->mapping_lock cpus_read_lock() -->> mm->mmap_lock causing a circular chain of: cpu_buffer->mapping_lock -> buffer->mutex -->> cpus_read_lock() -->> mm->mmap_lock -->> cpu_buffer->mapping_lock By moving the cpus_read_lock() outside the buffer->mutex where: cpus_read_lock() -->> buffer->mutex, breaks the deadlock chain. - Do not trigger WARN_ON() for commit overrun When the ring buffer is user space mapped and there's a "commit overrun" (where an interrupt preempted an event, and then added so many events it filled the buffer having to drop events when it hit the preempted event) a WARN_ON() was triggered if this was read via a memory mapped buffer. This is due to "missed events" being non zero when the reader page ended up with the commit page. The idea was, if the writer is on the reader page, there's only one page that has been written to and there should be no missed events. But if a commit overrun is done where the writer is off the commit page and looped around to the commit page causing missed events, it is possible that the reader page is the commit page with missed events. Instead of triggering a WARN_ON() when the reader page is the commit page with missed events, trigger it when the reader page is the tail_page with missed events. That's because the writer is always on the tail_page if an event was interrupted (which holds the commit event) and continues off the commit page. - Reset the persistent buffer if it is fully consumed On boot up, if the user fully consumes the last boot buffer of the persistent buffer, if it reboots without enabling it, there will still be events in the buffer which can cause confusion. Instead, reset the buffer when it is fully consumed, so that the data is not read again. - Clean up some goto out jumps There's a few cases that the code jumps to the "out:" label that simply returns a value. There used to be more work done at those labels but now that they simply return a value use a return instead of jumping to a label. - Use guard() to simplify some of the code Add guard() around some locking instead of jumping to a label to do the unlocking. - Use free() to simplify some of the code Use free(kfree) on variables that will get freed on error and use return_ptr() to return the variable when its not freed. There's one instance where free(kfree) simplifies the code on a temp variable that was allocated just for the function use. * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Simplify functions with __free(kfree) to free allocations ring-buffer: Make ring_buffer_{un}map() simpler with guard(mutex) ring-buffer: Simplify ring_buffer_read_page() with guard() ring-buffer: Simplify reset_disabled_cpu_buffer() with use of guard() ring-buffer: Remove jump to out label in ring_buffer_swap_cpu() ring-buffer: Removed unnecessary if() goto out where out is the next line tracing: Reset last-boot buffers when reading out all cpu buffers ring-buffer: Allow reserve_mem persistent ring buffers to be mmapped ring-buffer: Do not trigger WARN_ON() due to a commit_overrun ring-buffer: Move cpus_read_lock() outside of buffer->mutex

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Have module addresses get updated in the persistent ring buffer The addresses of the modules from the previous boot are saved in the persistent ring buffer. If the same modules are loaded and an address is in the old buffer points to an address that was both saved in the persistent ring buffer and is loaded in memory, shift the address to point to the address that is loaded in memory in the trace event. - Print function names for irqs off and preempt off callsites When ignoring the print fmt of a trace event and just printing the fields directly, have the fields for preempt off and irqs off events still show the function name (via kallsyms) instead of just showing the raw address. - Clean ups of the histogram code The histogram functions saved over 800 bytes on the stack to process events as they come in. Instead, create per-cpu buffers that can hold this information and have a separate location for each context level (thread, softirq, IRQ and NMI). Also add some more comments to the code. - Add "common_comm" field for histograms Add "common_comm" that uses the current->comm as a field in an event histogram and acts like any of the other fields of the event. - Show "subops" in the enabled_functions file When the function graph infrastructure is used, a subsystem has a "subops" that it attaches its callback function to. Instead of the enabled_functions just showing a function calling the function that calls the subops functions, also show the subops functions that will get called for that function too. - Add "copy_trace_marker" option to instances There are cases where an instance is created for tooling to write into, but the old tooling has the top level instance hardcoded into the application. New tools want to consume the data from an instance and not the top level buffer. By adding a copy_trace_marker option, whenever the top instance trace_marker is written into, a copy of it is also written into the instance with this option set. This allows new tools to read what old tools are writing into the top buffer. If this option is cleared by the top instance, then what is written into the trace_marker is not written into the top instance. This is a way to redirect the trace_marker writes into another instance. - Have tracepoints created by DECLARE_TRACE() use trace_<name>_tp() If a tracepoint is created by DECLARE_TRACE() instead of TRACE_EVENT(), then it will not be exposed via tracefs. Currently there's no way to differentiate in the kernel the tracepoint functions between those that are exposed via tracefs or not. A calling convention has been made manually to append a "_tp" prefix for events created by DECLARE_TRACE(). Instead of doing this manually, force it so that all DECLARE_TRACE() events have this notation. - Use __string() for task->comm in some sched events Instead of hardcoding the comm to be TASK_COMM_LEN in some of the scheduler events use __string() which makes it dynamic. Note, if these events are parsed by user space it they may break, and the event may have to be converted back to the hardcoded size. - Have function graph "depth" be unsigned to the user Internally to the kernel, the "depth" field of the function graph event is signed due to -1 being used for end of boundary. What actually gets recorded in the event itself is zero or positive. Reflect this to user space by showing "depth" as unsigned int and be consistent across all events. - Allow an arbitrary long CPU string to osnoise_cpus_write() The filtering of which CPUs to write to can exceed 256 bytes. If a machine has 256 CPUs, and the filter is to filter every other CPU, the write would take a string larger than 256 bytes. Instead of using a fixed size buffer on the stack that is 256 bytes, allocate it to handle what is passed in. - Stop having ftrace check the per-cpu data "disabled" flag The "disabled" flag in the data structure passed to most ftrace functions is checked to know if tracing has been disabled or not. This flag was added back in 2008 before the ring buffer had its own way to disable tracing. The "disable" flag is now not always set when needed, and the ring buffer flag should be used in all locations where the disabled is needed. Since the "disable" flag is redundant and incorrect, stop using it. Fix up some locations that use the "disable" flag to use the ring buffer info. - Use a new tracer_tracing_disable/enable() instead of data->disable flag There's a few cases that set the data->disable flag to stop tracing, but this flag is not consistently used. It is also an on/off switch where if a function set it and calls another function that sets it, the called function may incorrectly enable it. Use a new trace_tracing_disable() and tracer_tracing_enable() that uses a counter and can be nested. These use the ring buffer flags which are always checked making the disabling more consistent. - Save the trace clock in the persistent ring buffer Save what clock was used for tracing in the persistent ring buffer and set it back to that clock after a reboot. - Remove unused reference to a per CPU data pointer in mmiotrace functions - Remove unused buffer_page field from trace_array_cpu structure - Remove more strncpy() instances - Other minor clean ups and fixes * tag 'trace-v6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (36 commits) tracing: Fix compilation warning on arm32 tracing: Record trace_clock and recover when reboot tracing/sched: Use __string() instead of fixed lengths for task->comm tracepoint: Have tracepoints created with DECLARE_TRACE() have _tp suffix tracing: Cleanup upper_empty() in pid_list tracing: Allow the top level trace_marker to write into another instances tracing: Add a helper function to handle the dereference arg in verifier tracing: Remove unnecessary "goto out" that simply returns ret is trigger code tracing: Fix error handling in event_trigger_parse() tracing: Rename event_trigger_alloc() to trigger_data_alloc() tracing: Replace deprecated strncpy() with strscpy() for stack_trace_filter_buf tracing: Remove unused buffer_page field from trace_array_cpu structure tracing: Use atomic_inc_return() for updating "disabled" counter in irqsoff tracer tracing: Convert the per CPU "disabled" counter to local from atomic tracing: branch: Use trace_tracing_is_on_cpu() instead of "disabled" field ring-buffer: Add ring_buffer_record_is_on_cpu() tracing: Do not use per CPU array_buffer.data->disabled for cpumask ftrace: Do not disabled function graph based on "disabled" field tracing: kdb: Use tracer_tracing_on/off() instead of setting per CPU disabled tracing: Use tracer_tracing_disable() instead of "disabled" field for ftrace_dump_one() ...
2025-05-29ring-buffer: Simplify functions with __free(kfree) to free allocationsSteven Rostedt
The function rb_allocate_pages() allocates cpu_buffer and on error needs to free it. It has a single return. Use __free(kfree) and return directly on errors and have the return use return_ptr(cpu_buffer). The function alloc_buffer() allocates buffer and on error needs to free it. It has a single return. Use __free(kfree) and return directly on errors and have the return use return_ptr(buffer). The function __rb_map_vma() allocates a temporary array "pages". Have it use __free() and not worry about freeing it when returning.

The function ring_buffer_read_page() had two gotos. One was simply returning "ret" and the other was unlocking the reader_lock. There's no reason to use goto to simply return the "ret" variable. Instead just return the value. The jump to the unlocking of the reader_lock can be replaced by guard(raw_spinlock_irqsave)(&cpu_buffer->reader_lock). With these two changes the "ret" variable is no longer used and can be removed. The return value on non-error is what was read and is stored in the "read" variable.

Reset the last-boot ring buffers when read() reads out all cpu buffers through trace_pipe/trace_pipe_raw. This prevents ftrace to unwind ring buffer read pointer next boot. Note that this resets only when all per-cpu buffers are empty, and read via read(2) syscall. For example, if you read only one of the per-cpu trace_pipe, it does not reset it. Also, reading buffer by splice(2) syscall does not reset because some data in the reader (the last) page.

2025-05-29ring-buffer: Allow reserve_mem persistent ring buffers to be mmappedSteven Rostedt
When the persistent ring buffer is created from the memory returned by reserve_mem there is nothing prohibiting it to be memory mapped to user space. The memory is the same as the pages allocated by alloc_page(). The way the memory is managed by the ring buffer code is slightly different though and needs to be addressed. The persistent memory uses the page->id for its own purpose where as the user mmap buffer currently uses that for the subbuf array mapped to user space. If the buffer is a persistent buffer, use the page index into that buffer as the identifier instead of the page->id. That is, the page->id for a persistent buffer, represents the order of the buffer is in the link list. ->id == 0 means it is the reader page. When a reader page is swapped, the new reader page's ->id gets zero, and the old reader page gets the ->id of the page that it swapped with. The user space mapping has the ->id is the index of where it was mapped in user space and does not change while it is mapped. Since the persistent buffer is fixed in its location, the index of where a page is in the memory range can be used as the "id" to put in the meta page array, and it can be mapped in the same order to user space as it is in the persistent memory. A new rb_page_id() helper function is used to get and set the id depending on if the page is a normal memory allocated buffer or a physical memory mapped buffer.

2025-05-29ring-buffer: Do not trigger WARN_ON() due to a commit_overrunSteven Rostedt
When reading a memory mapped buffer the reader page is just swapped out with the last page written in the write buffer. If the reader page is the same as the commit buffer (the buffer that is currently being written to) it was assumed that it should never have missed events. If it does, it triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE(). But there just happens to be one scenario where this can legitimately happen. That is on a commit_overrun. A commit overrun is when an interrupt preempts an event being written to the buffer and then the interrupt adds so many new events that it fills and wraps the buffer back to the commit. Any new events would then be dropped and be reported as "missed_events". In this case, the next page to read is the commit buffer and after the swap of the reader page, the reader page will be the commit buffer, but this time there will be missed events and this triggers the following warning: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1127 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:7357 ring_buffer_map_get_reader+0x49a/0x780 Modules linked in: kvm_intel kvm irqbypass CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 1127 Comm: trace-cmd Not tainted 6.15.0-rc7-test-00004-g478bc2824b45-dirty #564 PREEMPT Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:ring_buffer_map_get_reader+0x49a/0x780 Code: 00 00 00 48 89 fe 48 c1 ee 03 80 3c 2e 00 0f 85 ec 01 00 00 4d 3b a6 a8 00 00 00 0f 85 8a fd ff ff 48 85 c0 0f 84 55 fe ff ff <0f> 0b e9 4e fe ff ff be 08 00 00 00 4c 89 54 24 58 48 89 54 24 50 RSP: 0018:ffff888121787dc0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 00000000000006a2 RBX: ffff888100062800 RCX: ffffffff8190cb49 RDX: ffff888126934c00 RSI: 1ffff11020200a15 RDI: ffff8881010050a8 RBP: dffffc0000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffed1024d26982 R10: ffff888126934c17 R11: ffff8881010050a8 R12: ffff888126934c00 R13: ffff8881010050b8 R14: ffff888101005000 R15: ffff888126930008 FS: 00007f95c8cd7540(0000) GS:ffff8882b576e000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f95c8de4dc0 CR3: 0000000128452002 CR4: 0000000000172ef0 Call Trace: <TASK> ? __pfx_ring_buffer_map_get_reader+0x10/0x10 tracing_buffers_ioctl+0x283/0x370 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x134/0x190 do_syscall_64+0x79/0x1c0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e RIP: 0033:0x7f95c8de48db Code: 00 48 89 44 24 18 31 c0 48 8d 44 24 60 c7 04 24 10 00 00 00 48 89 44 24 08 48 8d 44 24 20 48 89 44 24 10 b8 10 00 00 00 0f 05 <89> c2 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 1c 48 8b 44 24 18 64 48 2b 04 25 28 00 00 RSP: 002b:00007ffe037ba110 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000010 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007ffe037bb2b0 RCX: 00007f95c8de48db RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000005220 RDI: 0000000000000006 RBP: 00007ffe037ba180 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 00007ffe037bb6f8 R14: 00007f95c9065000 R15: 00005575c7492c90 </TASK> irq event stamp: 5080 hardirqs last enabled at (5079): [<ffffffff83e0adb0>] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x50/0x70 hardirqs last disabled at (5080): [<ffffffff83e0aa83>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x63/0x70 softirqs last enabled at (4182): [<ffffffff81516122>] handle_softirqs+0x552/0x710 softirqs last disabled at (4159): [<ffffffff815163f7>] __irq_exit_rcu+0x107/0x210 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- The above was triggered by running on a kernel with both lockdep and KASAN as well as kmemleak enabled and executing the following command: # perf record -o perf-test.dat -a -- trace-cmd record --nosplice -e all -p function hackbench 50 With perf interjecting a lot of interrupts and trace-cmd enabling all events as well as function tracing, with lockdep, KASAN and kmemleak enabled, it could cause an interrupt preempting an event being written to add enough events to wrap the buffer. trace-cmd was modified to have --nosplice use mmap instead of reading the buffer. The way to differentiate this case from the normal case of there only being one page written to where the swap of the reader page received that one page (which is the commit page), check if the tail page is on the reader page. The difference between the commit page and the tail page is that the tail page is where new writes go to, and the commit page holds the first write that hasn't been committed yet. In the case of an interrupt preempting the write of an event and filling the buffer, it would move the tail page but not the commit page. Have the warning only trigger if the tail page is also on the reader page, and also print out the number of events dropped by a commit overrun as that can not yet be safely added to the page so that the reader can see there were events dropped.

The memory mapped pages are taken with the mmap_lock held. The buffer->mutex is taken within the cpu_buffer->mapping_lock. There's quite a chain with all these locks, where the deadlock can be fixed by moving the cpus_read_lock() outside the taking of the buffer->mutex.
