(dual licensed under the GPL v2) + +Written for: 4.14 + +Introduction +============ + +The ftrace infrastructure was originially created to attach callbacks to the +beginning of functions in order to record and trace the flow of the kernel. +But callbacks to the start of a function can have other use cases. Either +for live kernel patching, or for security monitoring. This document describes +how to use ftrace to implement your own function callbacks. + + +The ftrace context +================== + +WARNING: The ability to add a callback to almost any function within the +kernel comes with risks. A callback can be called from any context +(normal, softirq, irq, and NMI). Callbacks can also be called just before +going to idle, during CPU bring up and takedown, or going to user space. +This requires extra care to what can be done inside a callback. A callback +can be called outside the protective scope of RCU. + +The ftrace infrastructure has some protections agains recursions and RCU +but one must still be very careful how they use the callbacks. + + +The ftrace_ops structure +======================== + +To register a function callback, a ftrace_ops is required. This structure +is used to tell ftrace what function should be called as the callback +as well as what protections the callback will perform and not require +ftrace to handle. + +There is only one field that is needed to be set when registering +an ftrace_ops with ftrace:: + +.. code-block: c + + struct ftrace_ops ops = { + .func = my_callback_func, + .flags = MY_FTRACE_FLAGS + .private = any_private_data_structure, + }; + +Both .flags and .private are optional. Only .func is required. + +To enable tracing call:: + +.. c:function:: register_ftrace_function(&ops); + +To disable tracing call:: + +.. c:function:: unregister_ftrace_function(&ops); + +The above is defined by including the header:: + +.. c:function:: #include + +The registered callback will start being called some time after the +register_ftrace_function() is called and before it returns. The exact time +that callbacks start being called is dependent upon architecture and scheduling +of services. The callback itself will have to handle any synchronization if it +must begin at an exact moment. + +The unregister_ftrace_function() will guarantee that the callback is +no longer being called by functions after the unregister_ftrace_function() +returns. Note that to perform this guarantee, the unregister_ftrace_function() +may take some time to finish. + + +The callback function +===================== + +The prototype of the callback function is as follows (as of v4.14):: + +.. code-block: c + + void callback_func(unsigned long ip, unsigned long parent_ip, + struct ftrace_ops *op, struct pt_regs *regs); + +@ip + This is the instruction pointer of the function that is being traced. + (where the fentry or mcount is within the function) + +@parent_ip + This is the instruction pointer of the function that called the + the function being traced (where the call of the function occurred). + +@op + This is a pointer to ftrace_ops that was used to register the callback. + This can be used to pass data to the callback via the private pointer. + +@regs + If the FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS or FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED + flags are set in the ftrace_ops structure, then this will be pointing + to the pt_regs structure like it would be if an breakpoint was placed + at the start of the function where ftrace was tracing. Otherwise it + either contains garbage, or NULL. + + +The ftrace FLAGS +================ + +The ftrace_ops flags are all defined and documented in include/linux/ftrace.h. +Some of the flags are used for internal infrastructure of ftrace, but the +ones that users should be aware of are the following: + +FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS + If the callback requires reading or modifying the pt_regs + passed to the callback, then it must set this flag. Registering + a ftrace_ops with this flag set on an architecture that does not + support passing of pt_regs to the callback will fail. + +FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED + Similar to SAVE_REGS but the registering of a + ftrace_ops on an architecture that does not support passing of regs + will not fail with this flag set. But the callback must check if + regs is NULL or not to determine if the architecture supports it. + +FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE + By default, a wrapper is added around the callback to + make sure that recursion of the function does not occur. That is, + if a function that is called as a result of the callback's execution + is also traced, ftrace will prevent the callback from being called + again. But this wrapper adds some overhead, and if the callback is + safe from recursion, it can set this flag to disable the ftrace + protection. + + Note, if this flag is set, and recursion does occur, it could cause + the system to crash, and possibly reboot via a triple fault. + + It is OK if another callback traces a function that is called by a + callback that is marked recursion safe. Recursion safe callbacks + must never trace any function that are called by the callback + itself or any nested functions that those functions call. + + If this flag is set, it is possible that the callback will also + be called with preemption enabled (when CONFIG_PREEMPT is set), + but this is not guaranteed. + +FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY + Requires FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS set. If the callback is to "hijack" + the traced function (have another function called instead of the + traced function), it requires setting this flag. This is what live + kernel patches uses. Without this flag the pt_regs->ip can not be + modified. + + Note, only one ftrace_ops with FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY set may be + registered to any given function at a time. + +FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU + If this is set, then the callback will only be called by functions + where RCU is "watching". This is required if the callback function + performs any rcu_read_lock() operation. + + RCU stops watching when the system goes idle, the time when a CPU + is taken down and comes back online, and when entering from kernel + to user space and back to kernel space. During these transitions, + a callback may be executed and RCU synchronization will not protect + it. + + +Filtering which functions to trace +================================== + +If a callback is only to be called from specific functions, a filter must be +set up. The filters are added by name, or ip if it is known. + +.. code-block: c + + int ftrace_set_filter(struct ftrace_ops *ops, unsigned char *buf, + int len, int reset); + +@ops + The ops to set the filter with + +@buf + The string that holds the function filter text. +@len + The length of the string. + +@reset + Non-zero to reset all filters before applying this filter. + +Filters denote which functions should be enabled when tracing is enabled. +If @buf is NULL and reset is set, all functions will be enabled for tracing. + +The @buf can also be a glob expression to enable all functions that +match a specific pattern. + +See Filter Commands in :file:`Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt`. + +To just trace the schedule function:: + +.. code-block: c + + ret = ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "schedule", strlen("schedule"), 0); + +To add more functions, call the ftrace_set_filter() more than once with the +@reset parameter set to zero. To remove the current filter set and replace it +with new functions defined by @buf, have @reset be non-zero. + +To remove all the filtered functions and trace all functions:: + +.. code-block: c + + ret = ftrace_set_filter(&ops, NULL, 0, 1); + + +Sometimes more than one function has the same name. To trace just a specific +function in this case, ftrace_set_filter_ip() can be used. + +.. code-block: c + + ret = ftrace_set_filter_ip(&ops, ip, 0, 0); + +Although the ip must be the address where the call to fentry or mcount is +located in the function. This function is used by perf and kprobes that +gets the ip address from the user (usually using debug info from the kernel). + +If a glob is used to set the filter, functions can be added to a "notrace" +list that will prevent those functions from calling the callback. +The "notrace" list takes precedence over the "filter" list. If the +two lists are non-empty and contain the same functions, the callback will not +be called by any function. + +An empty "notrace" list means to allow all functions defined by the filter +to be traced. + +.. code-block: c + + int ftrace_set_notrace(struct ftrace_ops *ops, unsigned char *buf, + int len, int reset); + +This takes the same parameters as ftrace_set_filter() but will add the +functions it finds to not be traced. This is a separate list from the +filter list, and this function does not modify the filter list. + +A non-zero @reset will clear the "notrace" list before adding functions +that match @buf to it. + +Clearing the "notrace" list is the same as clearing the filter list + +.. code-block: c + + ret = ftrace_set_notrace(&ops, NULL, 0, 1); + +The filter and notrace lists may be changed at any time. If only a set of +functions should call the callback, it is best to set the filters before +registering the callback. But the changes may also happen after the callback +has been registered. + +If a filter is in place, and the @reset is non-zero, and @buf contains a +matching glob to functions, the switch will happen during the time of +the ftrace_set_filter() call. At no time will all functions call the callback. + +.. code-block: c + + ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "schedule", strlen("schedule"), 1); + + register_ftrace_function(&ops); + + msleep(10); + + ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "try_to_wake_up", strlen("try_to_wake_up"), 1); + +is not the same as: + +.. code-block: c + + ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "schedule", strlen("schedule"), 1); + + register_ftrace_function(&ops); + + msleep(10); + + ftrace_set_filter(&ops, NULL, 0, 1); + + ftrace_set_filter(&ops, "try_to_wake_up", strlen("try_to_wake_up"), 0); + +As the latter will have a short time where all functions will call +the callback, between the time of the reset, and the time of the +new setting of the filter. -- cgit v1.1 From 8a0698c19e37019562d2504d4d724811d7fd411c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vinod Koul Date: Fri, 3 Nov 2017 10:19:37 +0530 Subject: dmaengine: doc: Add ReST style dmaengine document This removes the index file and adds the index.rst as placeholder and update driver-api index to add dmaengine.

Channels can be used -to serve several to any requests. To simplify, channels are the -entities that will be doing the copy, and requests what endpoints are -involved. - -The request lines actually correspond to physical lines going from the -DMA-eligible devices to the controller itself. Whenever the device -will want to start a transfer, it will assert a DMA request (DRQ) by -asserting that request line. - -A very simple DMA controller would only take into account a single -parameter: the transfer size. At each clock cycle, it would transfer a -byte of data from one buffer to another, until the transfer size has -been reached. - -That wouldn't work well in the real world, since slave devices might -require a specific number of bits to be transferred in a single -cycle. For example, we may want to transfer as much data as the -physical bus allows to maximize performances when doing a simple -memory copy operation, but our audio device could have a narrower FIFO -that requires data to be written exactly 16 or 24 bits at a time. This -is why most if not all of the DMA controllers can adjust this, using a -parameter called the transfer width. - -Moreover, some DMA controllers, whenever the RAM is used as a source -or destination, can group the reads or writes in memory into a buffer, -so instead of having a lot of small memory accesses, which is not -really efficient, you'll get several bigger transfers. This is done -using a parameter called the burst size, that defines how many single -reads/writes it's allowed to do without the controller splitting the -transfer into smaller sub-transfers. - -Our theoretical DMA controller would then only be able to do transfers -that involve a single contiguous block of data. However, some of the -transfers we usually have are not, and want to copy data from -non-contiguous buffers to a contiguous buffer, which is called -scatter-gather. - -DMAEngine, at least for mem2dev transfers, require support for -scatter-gather. So we're left with two cases here: either we have a -quite simple DMA controller that doesn't support it, and we'll have to -implement it in software, or we have a more advanced DMA controller, -that implements in hardware scatter-gather. - -The latter are usually programmed using a collection of chunks to -transfer, and whenever the transfer is started, the controller will go -over that collection, doing whatever we programmed there. - -This collection is usually either a table or a linked list. You will -then push either the address of the table and its number of elements, -or the first item of the list to one channel of the DMA controller, -and whenever a DRQ will be asserted, it will go through the collection -to know where to fetch the data from. - -Either way, the format of this collection is completely dependent on -your hardware. Each DMA controller will require a different structure, -but all of them will require, for every chunk, at least the source and -destination addresses, whether it should increment these addresses or -not and the three parameters we saw earlier: the burst size, the -transfer width and the transfer size. - -The one last thing is that usually, slave devices won't issue DRQ by -default, and you have to enable this in your slave device driver first -whenever you're willing to use DMA. - -These were just the general memory-to-memory (also called mem2mem) or -memory-to-device (mem2dev) kind of transfers.

Channels can be used +to serve several to any requests. To simplify, channels are the +entities that will be doing the copy, and requests what endpoints are +involved. + +The request lines actually correspond to physical lines going from the +DMA-eligible devices to the controller itself. Whenever the device +will want to start a transfer, it will assert a DMA request (DRQ) by +asserting that request line. + +A very simple DMA controller would only take into account a single +parameter: the transfer size. At each clock cycle, it would transfer a +byte of data from one buffer to another, until the transfer size has +been reached. + +That wouldn't work well in the real world, since slave devices might +require a specific number of bits to be transferred in a single +cycle. For example, we may want to transfer as much data as the +physical bus allows to maximize performances when doing a simple +memory copy operation, but our audio device could have a narrower FIFO +that requires data to be written exactly 16 or 24 bits at a time. This +is why most if not all of the DMA controllers can adjust this, using a +parameter called the transfer width. + +Moreover, some DMA controllers, whenever the RAM is used as a source +or destination, can group the reads or writes in memory into a buffer, +so instead of having a lot of small memory accesses, which is not +really efficient, you'll get several bigger transfers. This is done +using a parameter called the burst size, that defines how many single +reads/writes it's allowed to do without the controller splitting the +transfer into smaller sub-transfers. + +Our theoretical DMA controller would then only be able to do transfers +that involve a single contiguous block of data. However, some of the +transfers we usually have are not, and want to copy data from +non-contiguous buffers to a contiguous buffer, which is called +scatter-gather. + +DMAEngine, at least for mem2dev transfers, require support for +scatter-gather. So we're left with two cases here: either we have a +quite simple DMA controller that doesn't support it, and we'll have to +implement it in software, or we have a more advanced DMA controller, +that implements in hardware scatter-gather. + +The latter are usually programmed using a collection of chunks to +transfer, and whenever the transfer is started, the controller will go +over that collection, doing whatever we programmed there. + +This collection is usually either a table or a linked list. You will +then push either the address of the table and its number of elements, +or the first item of the list to one channel of the DMA controller, +and whenever a DRQ will be asserted, it will go through the collection +to know where to fetch the data from. + +Either way, the format of this collection is completely dependent on +your hardware. Each DMA controller will require a different structure, +but all of them will require, for every chunk, at least the source and +destination addresses, whether it should increment these addresses or +not and the three parameters we saw earlier: the burst size, the +transfer width and the transfer size. + +The one last thing is that usually, slave devices won't issue DRQ by +default, and you have to enable this in your slave device driver first +whenever you're willing to use DMA. + +These were just the general memory-to-memory (also called mem2mem) or +memory-to-device (mem2dev) kind of transfers. Most devices often +support other kind of transfers or memory operations that dmaengine +support and will be detailed later in this document. + +DMA Support in Linux +==================== + +Historically, DMA controller drivers have been implemented using the +async TX API, to offload operations such as memory copy, XOR, +cryptography, etc., basically any memory to memory operation. + +Over time, the need for memory to device transfers arose, and +dmaengine was extended. Nowadays, the async TX API is written as a +layer on top of dmaengine, and acts as a client. Still, dmaengine +accommodates that API in some cases, and made some design choices to +ensure that it stayed compatible. + +For more information on the Async TX API, please look the relevant +documentation file in Documentation/crypto/async-tx-api.txt. + +DMAEngine APIs +============== + +``struct dma_device`` Initialization +------------------------------------ + +Just like any other kernel framework, the whole DMAEngine registration +relies on the driver filling a structure and registering against the +framework.
