2018-06-21x86/stacktrace: Do not fail for ORC with regs on stackJiri Slaby1-1/+2
save_stack_trace_reliable now returns "non reliable" when there are kernel pt_regs on stack. This means an interrupt or exception happened somewhere down the route. It is a problem for the frame pointer unwinder, because the frame might not have been set up yet when the irq happened, so the unwinder might fail to unwind from the interrupted function. With ORC, this is not a problem, as ORC has out-of-band data. We can find ORC data even for the IP in the interrupted function and always unwind one level up reliably. So lift the check to apply only when CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y is enabled.

2018-06-21x86/stacktrace: Clarify the reliable success pathsJiri Slaby1-4/+12
Make clear which path is for user tasks and for kthreads and idle tasks. This will allow easier plug-in of the ORC unwinder in the next patches. Note that we added a check for unwind error to the top of the loop, so that an error is returned also for user tasks (the 'goto success' would skip the check after the loop otherwise).

2018-06-21x86/stacktrace: Remove STACKTRACE_DUMP_ONCEJiri Slaby1-16/+2
The stack unwinding can sometimes fail yet. Especially with the generated debug info. So do not yell at users -- live patching (the only user of this interface) will inform the user about the failure gracefully. And given this was the only user of the macro, remove the macro proper too.

2018-01-03x86/dumpstack: Fix partial register dumpsJosh Poimboeuf1-1/+1
The show_regs_safe() logic is wrong. When there's an iret stack frame, it prints the entire pt_regs -- most of which is random stack data -- instead of just the five registers at the end. show_regs_safe() is also poorly named: the on_stack() checks aren't for safety. Rename the function to show_regs_if_on_stack() and add a comment to explain why the checks are needed. These issues were introduced with the "partial register dump" feature of the following commit: b02fcf9ba121 ("x86/unwinder: Handle stack overflows more gracefully") That patch had gone through a few iterations of development, and the above issues were artifacts from a previous iteration of the patch where 'regs' pointed directly to the iret frame rather than to the (partially empty) pt_regs.

2017-12-19x86/stacktrace: Make zombie stack traces reliableJosh Poimboeuf1-1/+5
Commit: 1959a60182f4 ("x86/dumpstack: Pin the target stack when dumping it") changed the behavior of stack traces for zombies. Before that commit, /proc/<pid>/stack reported the last execution path of the zombie before it died: [<ffffffff8105b877>] do_exit+0x6f7/0xa80 [<ffffffff8105bc79>] do_group_exit+0x39/0xa0 [<ffffffff8105bcf0>] __wake_up_parent+0x0/0x30 [<ffffffff8152dd09>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<00007fd128f9c4f9>] 0x7fd128f9c4f9 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff After the commit, it just reports an empty stack trace. The new behavior is actually probably more correct. If the stack refcount has gone down to zero, then the task has already gone through do_exit() and isn't going to run anymore. The stack could be freed at any time and is basically gone, so reporting an empty stack makes sense. However, save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() treats such a missing stack condition as an error. That can cause livepatch transition stalls if there are any unreaped zombies. Instead, just treat it as a reliable, empty stack.

2017-09-29x86/stacktrace: Avoid recording save_stack_trace() wrappersVlastimil Babka1-3/+7
The save_stack_trace() and save_stack_trace_tsk() wrappers of __save_stack_trace() add themselves to the call stack, and thus appear in the recorded stacktraces. This is redundant and wasteful when we have limited space to record the useful part of the backtrace with e.g. page_owner functionality. Fix this by making sure __save_stack_trace() is noinline (which matches the current gcc decision) and bumping the skip in the wrappers (save_stack_trace_tsk() only when called for the current task). This is similar to what was done for arm in 3683f44c42e9 ("ARM: stacktrace: avoid listing stacktrace functions in stacktrace") and is pending for arm64. Also make sure that __save_stack_trace_reliable() doesn't get this problem in the future by marking it __always_inline (which matches current gcc decision), per Josh Poimboeuf.

2017-03-08stacktrace/x86: add function for detecting reliable stack tracesJosh Poimboeuf1-1/+95
For live patching and possibly other use cases, a stack trace is only useful if it can be assured that it's completely reliable. Add a new save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() function to achieve that. Note that if the target task isn't the current task, and the target task is allowed to run, then it could be writing the stack while the unwinder is reading it, resulting in possible corruption. So the caller of save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() must ensure that the task is either 'current' or inactive. save_stack_trace_tsk_reliable() relies on the x86 unwinder's detection of pt_regs on the stack. If the pt_regs are not user-mode registers from a syscall, then they indicate an in-kernel interrupt or exception (e.g. preemption or a page fault), in which case the stack is considered unreliable due to the nature of frame pointers. It also relies on the x86 unwinder's detection of other issues, such as: - corrupted stack data - stack grows the wrong way - stack walk doesn't reach the bottom - user didn't provide a large enough entries array Such issues are reported by checking unwind_error() and !unwind_done(). Also add CONFIG_HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE so arch-independent code can determine at build time whether the function is implemented.

2016-09-15x86/dumpstack: Add get_stack_info() interfaceJosh Poimboeuf1-1/+1
valid_stack_ptr() is buggy: it assumes that all stacks are of size THREAD_SIZE, which is not true for exception stacks. So the walk_stack() callbacks will need to know the location of the beginning of the stack as well as the end. Another issue is that in general the various features of a stack (type, size, next stack pointer, description string) are scattered around in various places throughout the stack dump code. Encapsulate all that information in a single place with a new stack_info struct and a get_stack_info() interface.

2016-07-14x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.hPaul Gortmaker1-1/+1
Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file. This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using. Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly. Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

2011-03-18x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is availableNamhyung Kim1-3/+3
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign. However this was not going to happen because scan start point was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not meet. Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked invalid. This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker.

2010-11-18x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routinesSoeren Sandmann Pedersen1-4/+4
The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass 0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER. However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing: (a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any (b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack (c) Trace some other task In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just be 0. If it _is_ defined, then - in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so the caller should pass NULL for regs, - in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to dump_trace(), - in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so the caller should pass NULL for regs. Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp. This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs) that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the two versions of dump_stack().

2010-06-09x86: Make save_stack_address() !CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER friendlyOleg Nesterov1-1/+5
If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n, print_context_stack() shouldn't neglect the non-reliable addresses on stack, this is all we have if dump_trace(bp) is called with the wrong or zero bp. For example, /proc/pid/stack doesn't work if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n. This patch obviously has no effect if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y, otherwise it reverts 1650743c "x86: don't save unreliable stack trace entries". Also, remove the unnecessary type-cast.

2010-06-09x86: Unify dumpstack.h and stacktrace.hFrederic Weisbecker1-3/+4
arch/x86/include/asm/stacktrace.h and arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.h declare headers of objects that deal with the same topic. Actually most of the files that include stacktrace.h also include dumpstack.h Although dumpstack.h seems more reserved for internals of stack traces, those are quite often needed to define specialized stack trace operations. And perf event arch headers are going to need access to such low level operations anyway. So don't continue to bother with dumpstack.h as it's not anymore about isolated deep internals. v2: fix struct stack_frame definition conflict in sysprof Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: H.

2009-12-17perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optionalFrederic Weisbecker1-8/+10
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

2009-06-13x86: add save_stack_trace_bp() for tracing from a specific stack frameVegard Nossum1-0/+7
This will help kmemcheck (and possibly other debugging tools) since we can now simply pass regs->bp to the stack tracer instead of specifying the number of stack frames to skip, which is unreliable if gcc decides to inline functions, etc. Note that this makes the API incomplete for other architectures, but I expect that those can be updated lazily, e.g. when they need it.

2009-05-15x86/stacktrace: return 0 instead of -1 for stack opsSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
If we return -1 in the ops->stack for the stacktrace saving, we end up breaking out of the loop if the stack we are tracing is in the exception stack. This causes traces like: <idle>-0 [002] 34263.745825: raise_softirq_irqoff <-__blk_complete_request <idle>-0 [002] 34263.745826: <= 0 <= 0 <= 0 <= 0 <= 0 <= 0 <= 0 By returning "0" instead, the irq stack is saved as well, and we see: <idle>-0 [003] 883.280992: raise_softirq_irqoff <-__hrtimer_star t_range_ns <idle>-0 [003] 883.280992: <= hrtimer_start_range_ns <= tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick <= cpu_idle <= start_secondary <= <= 0 <= 0 [ Impact: record stacks from interrupts ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2008-02-26x86: don't save unreliable stack trace entriesVegard Nossum1-0/+4
Currently, there is no way for print_stack_trace() to determine whether a given stack trace entry was deemed reliable or not, simply because save_stack_trace() does not record this information. (Perhaps needless to say, this makes the saved stack traces A LOT harder to read, and probably with no other benefits, since debugging features that use save_stack_trace() most likely also require frame pointers, etc.) This patch reverts to the old behaviour of only recording the reliable trace entries for saved stack traces.

2008-01-30x86: pull bp calculation earlier into the backtrace pathArjan van de Ven1-3/+4
Right now, we take the stack pointer early during the backtrace path, but only calculate bp several functions deep later, making it hard to reconcile the stack and bp backtraces (as well as showing several internal backtrace functions on the stack with bp based backtracing). This patch moves the bp taking to the same place we take the stack pointer; sadly this ripples through several layers of the back tracing stack, but it's not all that bad in the end I hope.
