| | * function-graph: add stack frame testSteven Rostedt2009-06-182-4/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | * function-graph: disable when both x86_32 and optimize for size are configuredSteven Rostedt2009-06-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On x86_32, when optimize for size is set, gcc may align the frame pointer and make a copy of the the return address inside the stack frame. The return address that is located in the stack frame may not be the one used to return to the calling function. This will break the function graph tracer. The function graph tracer replaces the return address with a jump to a hook function that can trace the exit of the function. If it only replaces a copy, then the hook will not be called when the function returns. Worse yet, when the parent function returns, the function graph tracer will return back to the location of the child function which will easily crash the kernel with weird results. To see the problem, when i386 is compiled with -Os we get: c106be03: 57 push %edi c106be04: 8d 7c 24 08 lea 0x8(%esp),%edi c106be08: 83 e4 e0 and $0xffffffe0,%esp c106be0b: ff 77 fc pushl 0xfffffffc(%edi) c106be0e: 55 push %ebp c106be0f: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp c106be11: 57 push %edi c106be12: 56 push %esi c106be13: 53 push %ebx c106be14: 81 ec 8c 00 00 00 sub $0x8c,%esp c106be1a: e8 f5 57 fb ff call c1021614 <mcount> When it is compiled with -O2 instead we get: c10896f0: 55 push %ebp c10896f1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp c10896f3: 83 ec 28 sub $0x28,%esp c10896f6: 89 5d f4 mov %ebx,0xfffffff4(%ebp) c10896f9: 89 75 f8 mov %esi,0xfffffff8(%ebp) c10896fc: 89 7d fc mov %edi,0xfffffffc(%ebp) c10896ff: e8 d0 08 fa ff call c1029fd4 <mcount> The compile with -Os will align the stack pointer then set up the frame pointer (%ebp), and it copies the return address back into the stack frame. The change to the return address in mcount is done to the copy and not the real place holder of the return address. Then compile with -O2 sets up the frame pointer first, this makes the change to the return address by mcount affect where the function will jump on exit.

| | * ring-buffer: have benchmark test print to trace bufferSteven Rostedt2009-06-171-18/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the output of the ring buffer benchmark/test prints to the console. This test runs for ten seconds every ten seconds and ouputs the result after every iteration. This needlessly fills up the logs. This patch makes the ring buffer benchmark/test print to the ftrace buffer using trace_printk. To view the test results, you must examine the debug/tracing/trace file.

| | * ring-buffer: do not grab locks in nmiSteven Rostedt2009-06-171-8/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If ftrace_dump_on_oops is set, and an NMI detects a lockup, then it will need to read from the ring buffer. But the read side of the ring buffer still takes locks. This patch adds a check on the read side that if it is in an NMI, then it will disable the ring buffer and not take any locks. Reads can still happen on a disabled ring buffer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | * ring-buffer: check for less than two in size allocationSteven Rostedt2009-06-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ring buffer must have at least two pages allocated for the reader page swap to work. The page count check will miss the case of a zero size passed in. Even though a zero size ring buffer would probably fail an allocation, making the min size check for less than two instead of equal to one makes the code a bit more robust.

| | * ring-buffer: remove useless compile check for buffer_page sizeSteven Rostedt2009-06-171-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original version of the ring buffer had a hack to map the page struct that held the pages of the buffer to also be the structure that the ring buffer would keep the pages in a link list. This overlap of the page struct was very dangerous and that hack was removed a while ago. But there was a check to make sure the buffer_page never became bigger than the page struct, and would fail the compile if it did. The check was only meaningful when we had the hack. Now that we have separate allocated descriptors for the buffer pages, we can remove this check. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

| | * ring-buffer: use BUF_PAGE_HDR_SIZE in calculating indexSteven Rostedt2009-06-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The index of the event is found by masking PAGE_MASK to it and subtracting the header size. Currently the header size is calculate by PAGE_SIZE - BUF_PAGE_SIZE, when we already have a macro BUF_PAGE_HDR_SIZE to define it. If we want to change BUF_PAGE_SIZE to something less than filling the rest of the page (this is done for debugging), then we break the algorithm to find the index.

With dynamic ftrace, such results show a wrong ftrace behaviour because all calls to ftrace_caller or ftrace_graph_caller (the patched calls to mcount) are supposed to be patched into nop if none of those tracers are running. The problem occurs after the first run of the function tracer. Once we launch it a second time, the callsites will never be nopped back, unless you set custom filters. For example it happens during the self tests at boot time. The function tracer selftest runs, and then the dynamic tracing is tested too. After that, the callsites are left un-nopped. This is because the reset callback of the function tracer tries to unregister two ftrace callbacks in once: the common function tracer and the function tracer with stack backtrace, regardless of which one is currently in use. It then creates an unbalance on ftrace_start_up value which is expected to be zero when the last ftrace callback is unregistered. When it reaches zero, the FTRACE_DISABLE_CALLS is set on the next ftrace command, triggering the patching into nop. But since it becomes unbalanced, ie becomes lower than zero, if the kernel functions are patched again (as in every further function tracer runs), they won't ever be nopped back. Note that ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_call are still patched back to ftrace_stub in the off case, but not the callers of ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_caller. It means that the tracing is well deactivated but we waste a useless call into every kernel function. This patch just unregisters the right ftrace_ops for the function tracer on its reset callback and ignores the other one which is not registered, fixing the unbalance.

| * tracing/filters: fix race between filter setting and module unloadLi Zefan2009-06-161-17/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Module unload is protected by event_mutex, while setting filter is protected by filter_mutex.

An then when filter_match_preds() is called, the WARN_ON() in it will be triggered. To avoid the race, we remove filter_mutex, and replace it with event_mutex.

| * ring-buffer: use commit counters for commit pointer accountingSteven Rostedt2009-06-161-79/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ring buffer is made up of three sets of pointers. The head page pointer, which points to the next page for the reader to get. The commit pointer and commit index, which points to the page and index of the last committed write respectively. The tail pointer and tail index, which points to the page and the index of the last reserved data respectively (non committed). The commit pointer is only moved forward by the outer most writer. If a nested writer comes in, it will not move the pointer forward. The current implementation has a flaw. It assumes that the outer most writer successfully reserved data. There's a small race window where the outer most writer could find the tail pointer, but a nested writer could come in (via interrupt) and move the tail forward, and even the commit forward. The outer writer would not realized the commit moved forward and the accounting will break. This patch changes the design to use counters in the per cpu buffers to keep track of commits. The counters are incremented at the start of the commit, and decremented at the end. If the end commit counter is 1, then it moves the commit pointers. A loop is made to check for races between checking and moving the commit pointers. Only the outer commit should move the pointers anyway. The test of knowing if a reserve is equal to the last commit update is still needed to know for time keeping. The time code is much less racey than the commit updates. This change not only solves the mentioned race, but also makes the code simpler. [ Impact: fix commit race and simplify code ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Before, a discarded event was only added when the tracer deliberately created one.

| * ring-buffer: prevent adding write in discarded areaSteven Rostedt2009-06-151-12/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This a very tight race where an interrupt could come in and not have enough data to put into the end of a buffer page, and that it would fail to write and need to go to the next page. But if this happened when another writer was about to reserver their data, and that writer has smaller data to reserve, then it could succeed even though the interrupt moved the tail page. To pervent that, if we fail to store data, and by subtracting the amount we reserved we still have room for smaller data, we need to fill that space with "discarded" data.

The thing is that as block layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't necessary and only cause confusion. In addition, manual management of request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at the very least. Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and rq->bio->bi_size. This is more convoluted than the hard_ case. rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests. rq->data_len is initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc requests. This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and what the specific LLD is actually doing. rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in the contiguous data area at the front. This is mainly used by drivers which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment. This value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9. However, data length for pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field becomes a bit confusing. In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property leads only to confusion and subtle bugs. With recent block low level driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these duplicate fields directly. Drop all the duplicates. Now rq->sector means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length. Everything else is defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors. * blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update. This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no in-kernel user yet tho). * bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer now uses byte count as the primary data length. * blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct. In-block users converted. * blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is blk_rq_sectors(). In-block users converted. * blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9. More convenient one is used. * blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const pointer to request.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On creating a new task while running the function graph tracer, if we fail to allocate the ret_stack, and then fail the fork, the code will free the parent ret_stack. This is because the child duplicated the parent and currently points to the parent's ret_stack. This patch always initializes the task's ret_stack to NULL.

The initialization is done for all tasks by one process, but the idle tasks use the same initialization used by new tasks. If an interrupt happens on an idle task that just had the ret_stack created, but before the rest of the initialization took place, then we can corrupt the return address of the functions. This patch moves the setting of the task_struct's ret_stack to after the other variables have been initialized.

| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the function graph tracer is enabled, it calls the initialization needed for the init tasks that would be called on all created tasks. The problem is that this is called every time the function graph tracer is enabled, and the ret_stack is allocated for the idle tasks each time. Thus, the old ret_stack is lost and a memory leak is created. This is also dangerous because if an interrupt happened on another CPU with the init task and the ret_stack is replaced, we then lose all the return pointers for the interrupt, and a crash would take place.

Doing so adds these new capabilities to this tracepoint: - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing - binary tracing without printf overhead - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions ... Cons: - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events. no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL. no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL. This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue. But this may change in the future. - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print. While blktrace do the convertion just before output. Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue. - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry. The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array(). I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing: dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice) 1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s 2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s 3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using those trace events vs blktrace. And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace: # ls -l -h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out Following are some comparisons between TRACE_EVENT and blktrace: plug: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: block_plug: [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: 8,0 P N [kjournald] unplug_io: kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052973: block_unplug_io: [kblockd/0] 1 kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052974: 8,0 U N [kblockd/0] 1 remap: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085042: block_remap: 8,0 W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 kjournald-480 [000] 303.085043: 8,0 A W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 bio_backmerge: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: block_bio_backmerge: 8,0 W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: 8,0 M W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] getrq: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084974: block_getrq: 8,0 W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084975: 8,0 G W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953770: 8,0 G N [bash] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953773: block_getrq: 0,0 N 0 + 0 [bash] rq_complete: konsole-2065 [001] 300.053184: block_rq_complete: 8,0 W () 103669040 + 16 [0] konsole-2065 [001] 300.053191: 8,0 C W 103669040 + 16 [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953811: 8,0 C N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953813: block_rq_complete: 0,0 N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) 0 + 0 [0] rq_insert: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084985: block_rq_insert: 8,0 W 0 () 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084986: 8,0 I W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] Changelog from v2 -> v3: - use the newly introduced __dynamic_array().

If ftrace traces within the use of the ring buffer, it can produce false positives with lockdep. This patch passes in a static lock key into the allocation of the ring buffer, so that different ring buffers will have their own lock class.

The second problem is that we shouldn't skip the first entry in the stack, although it seems to be duplicated when used in the "function" tracer, but events also use it. If we skip the first one, we will drop the topmost entry of the stack. The last problem is that if the last entry is ULONG_MAX(0xffffffff), we should drop it, otherwise it will print a NULL name line. before fix: sh-1072 [000] 26.957239: sched_process_fork: parent sh:1072 child sh:1073 sh-1072 [000] 26.957262: <= syscall_call <= sh-1072 [000] 26.957744: sched_switch: task sh:1072 [120] (R) ==> sh:1073 [120] sh-1072 [000] 26.957752: <= preempt_schedule <= wake_up_new_task <= do_fork <= sys_clone <= syscall_call <= After fix: sh-1075 [000] 39.791848: sched_process_fork: parent sh:1075 child sh:1076 sh-1075 [000] 39.791871: => sys_clone => syscall_call sh-1075 [000] 39.792713: sched_switch: task sh:1075 [120] (R) ==> sh:1076 [120] sh-1075 [000] 39.792722: => schedule => preempt_schedule => wake_up_new_task => do_fork => sys_clone => syscall_call Signed-off-by: walimis <walimisdev@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <1244016090-7814-2-git-send-email-walimisdev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
