* x86/ftrace: Use __pa_symbol instead of __pa on C visible symbolsAlexander Duyck2012-11-161-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of using __pa which is meant to be a general function for converting virtual addresses to physical addresses we can use __pa_symbol which is the preferred way of decoding kernel text virtual addresses to physical addresses. In this case we are not directly converting C visible symbols however if we know that the instruction pointer is somewhere between _text and _etext we know that we are going to be translating an address form the kernel text space.

* ftrace/x86: Add separate function to save regsSteven Rostedt2012-07-191-4/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a way to have different functions calling different trampolines. If a ftrace_ops wants regs saved on the return, then have only the functions with ops registered to save regs. Functions registered by other ops would not be affected, unless the functions overlap. If one ftrace_ops registered functions A, B and C and another ops registered fucntions to save regs on A, and D, then only functions A and D would be saving regs. Function B and C would work as normal. Although A is registered by both ops: normal and saves regs; this is fine as saving the regs is needed to satisfy one of the ops that calls it but the regs are ignored by the other ops function. x86_64 implements the full regs saving, and i386 just passes a NULL for regs to satisfy the ftrace_ops passing. Where an arch must supply both regs and ftrace_ops parameters, even if regs is just NULL. It is OK for an arch to pass NULL regs. All function trace users that require regs passing must add the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS when registering the ftrace_ops. If the arch does not support saving regs then the ftrace_ops will fail to register. The flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED may be set that will prevent the ftrace_ops from failing to register. In this case, the handler may either check if regs is not NULL or check if ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS. If the arch supports passing regs it will set this macro and pass regs for ops that request them. All other archs will just pass NULL.

* ftrace: Use breakpoint method to update ftrace callerSteven Rostedt2012-05-311-16/+72
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On boot up and module load, it is fine to modify the code directly, without the use of breakpoints. This is because boot up modification is done before SMP is initialized, thus the modification is serial, and module load is done before the module executes. But after that we must use a SMP safe method to modify running code. Otherwise, if we are running the function tracer and update its function (by starting off the stack tracer, or perf tracing) the change of the function called by the ftrace trampoline is done directly. If this is being executed on another CPU, that CPU may take a GPF and crash the kernel. The breakpoint method is used to change the nops at all the functions, but the change of the ftrace callback handler itself was still using a direct modification. If tracing was enabled and the function callback was changed then another CPU could fault if it was currently calling the original callback. This modification must use the breakpoint method too. Note, the direct method is still used for boot up and module load. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ftrace: Synchronize variable setting with breakpointsSteven Rostedt2012-05-311-3/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the function tracer starts modifying the code via breakpoints it sets a variable (modifying_ftrace_code) to inform the breakpoint handler to call the ftrace int3 code. But there's no synchronization between setting this code and the handler, thus it is possible for the handler to be called on another CPU before it sees the variable. This will cause a kernel crash as the int3 handler will not know what to do with it. I originally added smp_mb()'s to force the visibility of the variable but H. Peter Anvin suggested that I just make it atomic. [ Added comments as suggested by Peter Zijlstra ] Suggested-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* ftrace/x86: Remove the complex ftrace NMI handling codeSteven Rostedt2012-04-271-168/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As ftrace function tracing would require modifying code that could be executed in NMI context, which is not stopped with stop_machine(), ftrace had to do a complex algorithm with various stages of setup and memory barriers to make it work. With the new breakpoint method, this is no longer required. The changes to the code can be done without any problem in NMI context, as well as without stop machine altogether. Remove the complex code as it is no longer needed. Also, a lot of the notrace annotations could be removed from the NMI code as it is now safe to trace them. With the exception of do_nmi itself, which does some special work to handle running in the debug stack. The breakpoint method can cause NMIs to double nest the debug stack if it's not setup properly, and that is done in do_nmi(), thus that function must not be traced.

* ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before updating indexSteven Rostedt2011-03-101-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the index to the ret_stack is updated and the real return address is saved in the ret_stack. Then we call the trace function. The trace function could decide that it doesn't want to trace this function (ex. set_graph_function does not match) and it will return 0 which means not to trace this call. The normal function graph tracer has this code: if (!(trace->depth || ftrace_graph_addr(trace->func)) || ftrace_graph_ignore_irqs()) return 0; What this states is, if the trace depth (which is curr_ret_stack) is zero (top of nested functions) then test if we want to trace this function. If this function is not to be traced, then return 0 and the rest of the function graph tracer logic will not trace this function. The problem arises when an interrupt comes in after we updated the curr_ret_stack. The next function that gets called will have a trace->depth of 1. Which fools this trace code into thinking that we are in a nested function, and that we should trace. This causes interrupts to be traced when they should not be. The solution is to trace the function first and then update the ret_stack.

* | x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modulesmatthieu castet2010-11-181-0/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each individual section: 1. Code: RO+X 2. RO data: RO+NX 3. RW data: RW+NX In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access permissions are set right before successful exit from load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right before calling module_free(). By default, the original section layout and access flags are preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y, the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that each page contains only one type of content and will enforce RO/NX for each group of pages. -v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch. -v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also been corrected. -v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y. -v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style. -v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation -v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only -v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro() in ftrace -v8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5 -v9: coding style fixes -v10: more coding style fixes -v11: minor adjustments for -tip -v12: minor adjustments for v2.6.35-rc2-tip -v13: minor adjustments for v2.6.37-rc1-tip Signed-off-by: Siarhei Liakh <sliakh.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Xuxian Jiang <jiang@cs.ncsu.edu> Acked-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Reviewed-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> Signed-off-by: H.

* | ftrace: Remove memory barriers from NMI code when not neededSteven Rostedt2010-02-251-0/+26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code in stop_machine that modifies the kernel text has a bit of logic to handle the case of NMIs. stop_machine does not prevent NMIs from executing, and if an NMI were to trigger on another CPU as the modifying CPU is changing the NMI text, a GPF could result. To prevent the GPF, the NMI calls ftrace_nmi_enter() which may modify the code first, then any other NMIs will just change the text to the same content which will do no harm. The code that stop_machine called must wait for NMIs to finish while it changes each location in the kernel. That code may also change the text to what the NMI changed it to. The key is that the text will never change content while another CPU is executing it. To make the above work, the call to ftrace_nmi_enter() must also do a smp_mb() as well as atomic_inc(). But for applications like perf that require a high number of NMIs for profiling, this can have a dramatic effect on the system. Not only is it doing a full memory barrier on both nmi_enter() as well as nmi_exit() it is also modifying a global variable with an atomic operation. This kills performance on large SMP machines. Since the memory barriers are only needed when ftrace is in the process of modifying the text (which is seldom), this patch adds a "modifying_code" variable that gets set before stop machine is executed and cleared afterwards. The NMIs will check this variable and store it in a per CPU "save_modifying_code" variable that it will use to check if it needs to do the memory barriers and atomic dec on NMI exit.

* function-graph: add stack frame testSteven Rostedt2009-06-181-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return from function code, we would like to detect that. An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

* x86/function-graph: fix constraint for recording old return valueSteven Rostedt2009-05-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After upgrading from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. Investigating, I found that in the asm that replaces the return value, gcc was using the same register for the old value as it was for the new value. mov (addr), old mov new, (addr) But if old and new are the same register, we clobber new with old! I first thought this was a bug in gcc 4.4.0 and reported it: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40132 Andrew Pinski responded (quickly), saying that it was correct gcc behavior and the code needed to denote old as an "early clobber". Instead of "=r"(old), we need "=&r"(old). [Impact: keep function graph tracer from breaking with gcc 4.4.0 ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix to prevent NMI lockup If the page fault handler produces a WARN_ON in the modifying of text, and the system is setup to have a high frequency of NMIs, we can lock up the system on a failure to modify code. The modifying of code with NMIs allows all NMIs to modify the code if it is about to run. This prevents a modifier on one CPU from modifying code running in NMI context on another CPU. The modifying is done through stop_machine, so only NMIs must be considered. But if the write causes the page fault handler to produce a warning, the print can slow it down enough that as soon as it is done it will take another NMI before going back to the process context. The new NMI will perform the write again causing another print and this will hang the box. This patch turns off the writing as soon as a failure is detected and does not wait for it to be turned off by the process context. This will keep NMIs from getting stuck in this back and forth of print outs. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
| * ftrace, x86: make kernel text writable only for conversionsSteven Rostedt2009-02-201-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: keep kernel text read only Because dynamic ftrace converts the calls to mcount into and out of nops at run time, we needed to always keep the kernel text writable. But this defeats the point of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This patch converts the kernel code to writable before ftrace modifies the text, and converts it back to read only afterward. The kernel text is converted to read/write, stop_machine is called to modify the code, then the kernel text is converted back to read only. The original version used SYSTEM_STATE to determine when it was OK or not to change the code to rw or ro. Andrew Morton pointed out that using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea since there is no guarantee to what its state will actually be. Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.
