Currently the trace splice code zeros out the excess bytes in the page before
sending it off to userspace.
This is to make sure userspace is not getting anything it should not be
when reading the pages, because the excess data was never initialized
to zero before writing (for perfomance reasons).
But the splice code has no business in doing this work, it should be
done by the ring buffer. With the latest changes for recording lost
events, the splice code gets it wrong anyway.
Move the zeroing out of excess bytes into the ring buffer code.

Multiple events may use the same method to print their data.
Instead of having all events have a pointer to their print funtions,
the trace_event structure now points to a trace_event_functions structure
that will hold the way to print ouf the event.
The event itself is now passed to the print function to let the print
function know what kind of event it should print.
This opens the door to consolidating the way several events print
their output.

When performing a non-consuming read, a synchronize_sched() is
performed once for every cpu which is actively tracing.
This is very expensive, and can make it take several seconds to open
up the 'trace' file with lots of cpus.
Only one synchronize_sched() call is actually necessary. What is
desired is for all cpus to see the disabling state change. So we
transform the existing sequence:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
where each ring_buffer_start() call performs a synchronize_sched(),
into the following:
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_prepare();
}
ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync();
for_each_cpu() {
ring_buffer_read_start();
}
wherein only the single ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() call needs to
do the synchronize_sched().
The first phase, via ring_buffer_read_prepare(), allocates the 'iter'
memory and increments ->record_disabled.
In the second phase, ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() makes sure this
->record_disabled state is visible fully to all cpus.
And in the final third phase, the ring_buffer_read_start() calls reset
the 'iter' objects allocated in the first phase since we now know that
none of the cpus are adding trace entries any more.
This makes openning the 'trace' file nearly instantaneous on a
sparc64 Niagara2 box with 128 cpus tracing.

The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one
dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens.
It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many,
plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces.
Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the
opps, most of the time it is our main interest.
This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice.
The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has
the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed.
Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous
behaviour. But setting 2 jumps into cpu origin dump mode.
v2: Fix double setup
v3: Fix spelling issues reported by Randy Dunlap
v4: Also update __ftrace_dump in the selftests

Even works with the function graph tracer:

2) 4.036 us | rcu_irq_exit();
2) 3.657 us | idle_cpu();
2) ! 190.301 us | }

2) 0.853 us | } /* cancel_dirty_page */
2) | remove_from_page_cache() {
2) 1.578 us | _raw_spin_lock_irq();
2) | __remove_from_page_cache() {
Note, it does not work with the iterator "trace" file, since it requires
the use of consuming the page from the ring buffer to determine how many
events were lost, which the iterator does not do.

Currently, when the ring buffer drops events, it does not record
the fact that it did so. It does inform the writer that the event
was dropped by returning a NULL event, but it does not put in any
place holder where the event was dropped.
This is not a trivial thing to add because the ring buffer mostly
runs in overwrite (flight recorder) mode. That is, when the ring
buffer is full, new data will overwrite old data.
In a produce/consumer mode, where new data is simply dropped when
the ring buffer is full, it is trivial to add the placeholder
for dropped events. When there's more room to write new data, then
a special event can be added to notify the reader about the dropped
events.
But in overwrite mode, any new write can overwrite events. A place
holder can not be inserted into the ring buffer since there never
may be room. A reader could also come in at anytime and miss the
placeholder.
Luckily, the way the ring buffer works, the read side can find out
if events were lost or not, and how many events. Everytime a write
takes place, if it overwrites the header page (the next read) it
updates a "overrun" variable that keeps track of the number of
lost events. When a reader swaps out a page from the ring buffer,
it can record this number, perfom the swap, and then check to
see if the number changed, and take the diff if it has, which would be
the number of events dropped. This can be stored by the reader
and returned to callers of the reader.
Since the reader page swap will fail if the writer moved the head
page since the time the reader page set up the swap, this gives room
to record the overruns without worrying about races. If the reader
sets up the pages, records the overrun, than performs the swap,
if the swap succeeds, then the overrun variable has not been
updated since the setup before the swap.
For binary readers of the ring buffer, a flag is set in the header
of each sub page (sub buffer) of the ring buffer. This flag is embedded
in the size field of the data on the sub buffer, in the 31st bit (the size
can be 32 or 64 bits depending on the architecture), but only 27
bits needs to be used for the actual size (less actually).
We could add a new field in the sub buffer header to also record the
number of events dropped since the last read, but this will change the
format of the binary ring buffer a bit too much. Perhaps this change can
be made if the information on the number of events dropped is considered
important enough.
Note, the notification of dropped events is only used by consuming reads
or peeking at the ring buffer. Iterating over the ring buffer does not
keep this information because the necessary data is only available when
a page swap is made, and the iterator does not swap out pages.

implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

A bug was found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test that caused applications
to segfault during the test.
Placing a tracing_off() in the segfault code, and examining several
traces, I found that the following was always the case. The lock tracer
was enabled (lockdep being required) and userstack was enabled. Testing
this out, I just enabled the two, but that was not good enough. I needed
to run something else that could trigger it. Running a load like hackbench
did not work, but executing a new program would. The following would
trigger the segfault within seconds:
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/options/userstacktrace
# echo 1 > /debug/tracing/events/lock/enable
# while :; do ls > /dev/null ; done
Enabling the function graph tracer and looking at what was happening
I finally noticed that all cashes happened just after an NMI.

1) | bad_area_nosemaphore() {
1) | __bad_area_nosemaphore() {

After capturing several traces of failures, all of them happened
after an NMI. Curious about this, I added a trace_printk() to the NMI
handler to read the regs->ip to see where the NMI happened. In which I
found out it was here:

ffffffff8135b660: 48 83 ec 78 sub $0x78,%rsp
ffffffff8135b664: e8 97 01 00 00 callq ffffffff8135b800 <error_entry>
What was happening is that the NMI would happen at the place that a page
fault occurred. It would call rcu_read_lock() which was traced by
the lock events, and the user_stack_trace would run. This would trigger
a page fault inside the NMI. I do not see where the CR2 register is
saved or restored in NMI handling. This means that it would corrupt
the page fault handling that the NMI interrupted.
The reason the while loop of ls helped trigger the bug, was that
each execution of ls would cause lots of pages to be faulted in, and
increase the chances of the race happening.
The simple solution is to not allow user stack traces in NMI context.
After this patch, I ran the above "ls" test for a couple of hours
without any issues. Without this patch, the bug would trigger in less
than a minute.

When the trace iterator is read, tracing_start() and tracing_stop()
is called to stop tracing while the iterator is processing the trace
output.
These functions disable both the standard buffer and the max latency
buffer. But if the wakeup tracer is running, it can switch these
buffers between the two disables:
buffer = global_trace.buffer;
if (buffer)
ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
<<<--------- swap happens here
buffer = max_tr.buffer;
if (buffer)
ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
What happens is that we disabled the same buffer twice. On tracing_start()
we can enable the same buffer twice. All ring_buffer_record_disable()
must be matched with a ring_buffer_record_enable() or the buffer
can be disable permanently, or enable prematurely, and cause a bug
where a reset happens while a trace is commiting.
This patch protects these two by taking the ftrace_max_lock to prevent
a switch from occurring.
Found with Li Zefan's ftrace_stress_test.

In the ftrace code that resets the ring buffer it references the
buffer with a local variable, but then uses the tr->buffer as the
parameter to reset. If the wakeup tracer is running, which can
switch the tr->buffer with the max saved buffer, this can break
the requirement of disabling the buffer before the reset.
buffer = tr->buffer;
ring_buffer_record_disable(buffer);
synchronize_sched();
__tracing_reset(tr->buffer, cpu);
If the tr->buffer is swapped, then the reset is not happening to the
buffer that was disabled. This will cause the ring buffer to fail.

Add support for tracing_thresh to the function_graph tracer. This
version of this feature isolates the checks into new entry and
return functions, to avoid adding more conditional code into the
main function_graph paths.
When the tracing_thresh is set and the function graph tracer is
enabled, only the functions that took longer than the time in
microseconds that was set in tracing_thresh are recorded. To do this
efficiently, only the function exits are recorded:
[tracing]# echo 100 > tracing_thresh
[tracing]# echo function_graph > current_tracer
[tracing]# cat trace
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |

0) ! 248.254 us | } /* smp_apic_timer_interrupt */
Also, add support for specifying tracing_thresh on the kernel
command line. When used like so: "tracing_thresh=200 ftrace=function_graph"
this can be used to analyse system startup. It is important to disable
tracing soon after boot, in order to avoid losing the trace data.

The latency output showed:
# | task: -3 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99)
The comm is missing in the "task:" and it looks like a minus 3 is
the output. The correct display should be:
# | task: migration/0-3 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:1 rt_prio:99)
The problem is that the comm is being stored in the wrong data
structure. The max_tr.data[cpu] is what stores the comm, not the
tr->data[cpu].
Before this patch the max_tr.data[cpu]->comm was zeroed and the /debug/trace
ended up showing just the '-' sign followed by the pid.
Also remove a needless initialization of max_data.

The iterator "leftover" variable is zeroed in the opening of the trace

reseting the "leftover" variable back to zero, which might trigger
the WARN_ON_ONCE(iter->leftover) that is in s_next().

Now that the return from alloc_percpu is compatible with the address
of per-cpu vars, it makes sense to hand around the address of per-cpu
variables. To make this sane, we remove the per_cpu__ prefix we used
created to stop people accidentally using these vars directly.
Now we have sparse, we can use that (next patch).

If the contents of the ftrace ring buffer gets corrupted and the trace
file is read, it could create a kernel oops (usualy just killing the user
task thread). This is caused by the checking of the pid in the buffer.
If the pid is negative, it still references the cmdline cache array,
which could point to an invalid address.
The simple fix is to test for negative PIDs.

At the beginning, access to the ring buffer was fully serialized
by trace_types_lock. Patch d7350c3f4569 gives more freedom to readers,
and patch b04cc6b1f6 adds code to protect trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe.
But actually it is not enough, ring buffer readers are not always
read-only, they may consume data.
This patch makes accesses to trace, trace_pipe, trace_pipe_raw
cpu#/trace, cpu#/trace_pipe and cpu#/trace_pipe_raw serialized.
And removes tracing_reader_cpumask which is used to protect trace_pipe.
Details:
Ring buffer serializes readers, but it is low level protection.
The validity of the events (which returns by ring_buffer_peek() ..etc)
are not protected by ring buffer.
The content of events may become garbage if we allow another process to consume
these events concurrently:
A) the page of the consumed events may become a normal page
(not reader page) in ring buffer, and this page will be rewritten
by the events producer.
B) The page of the consumed events may become a page for splice_read,
and this page will be returned to system.
This patch adds trace_access_lock() and trace_access_unlock() primitives.
These primitives allow multi process access to different cpu ring buffers
concurrently.
These primitives don't distinguish read-only and read-consume access.
Multi read-only access is also serialized.
And we don't use these primitives when we open files,
we only use them when we read files.

The function __set_tracer_option() takes as its last parameter a
"neg" value. If set it should negate the value of the option.
The trace_options_write() passed the value written to the file
which is what the new value needs to be set as. But since this
is not the negative, it never sets the value.

I've been asked a few times about how to find out what is calling
some location in the kernel. One way is to use dynamic function tracing
and implement the func_stack_trace. But this only finds out who is
calling a particular function. It does not tell you who is calling
that function and entering a specific if conditional.
I have myself implemented a quick version of trace_dump_stack() for
this purpose a few times, and just needed it now. This is when I realized
that this would be a good tool to have in the kernel like trace_printk().
Using trace_dump_stack() is similar to dump_stack() except that it
writes to the trace buffer instead and can be used in critical locations.
For example:
@@ -5485,8 +5485,12 @@ need_resched_nonpreemptible:
if (prev->state && !(preempt_count() & PREEMPT_ACTIVE)) {
if (unlikely(signal_pending_state(prev->state, prev)))
prev->state = TASK_RUNNING;
- else
+ else {
deactivate_task(rq, prev, 1);
+ trace_printk("Deactivating task %s:%d\n",
+ prev->comm, prev->pid);
+ trace_dump_stack();
+ }
switch_count = &prev->nvcsw;
}
Produces:
<...>-3249 [001] 296.105269: schedule: Deactivating task ntpd:3249
<...>-3249 [001] 296.105270: <stack trace>

=> schedule_hrtimeout_range
=> poll_schedule_timeout

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture
specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for
the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt.
Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the
name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin,
atomic_spin or whatever
No functional change.

This patch updates percpu related symbols in kernel tracer such that
percpu symbols are unique and don't clash with local symbols. This
serves two purposes of decreasing the possibility of global percpu
symbol collision and allowing dropping per_cpu__ prefix from percpu
symbols.

* kernel/trace/trace_hw_branches: s/tracer/hwb_tracer/, s/buffer/hwb_buffer/
Partly based on Rusty Russell's "alloc_percpu: rename percpu vars
which cause name clashes" patch.

this_cpu_xx can reduce the instruction count here and also
avoid address arithmetic.
