kallsyms/ftrace: set module buildid in ftrace_mod_address_lookup()

2026-03-04T12:19:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit e8a1e7eaa19d0b757b06a2f913e3eeb4b1c002c6 ] __sprint_symbol() might access an invalid pointer when kallsyms_lookup_buildid() returns a symbol found by ftrace_mod_address_lookup(). The ftrace lookup function must set both @modname and @modbuildid the same way as module_address_lookup().

ftrace: Mark get_lock_parent_ip() __always_inline

commit ea65b41807a26495ff2a73dd8b1bab2751940887 upstream. If the compiler decides not to inline this function then preemption tracing will always show an IP inside the preemption disabling path and never the function actually calling preempt_{enable,disable}.

ftrace: Remove obsoleted code from ftrace and task_struct

2022-09-27T18:48:26+00:00

The trace of "struct task_struct" was no longer used since commit 345ddcc882d8 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events do"), and the functions about flags for current->trace is useless, so remove them.

ftrace: Allow IPMODIFY and DIRECT ops on the same function

2022-07-22T20:04:30+00:00

IPMODIFY (livepatch) and DIRECT (bpf trampoline) ops are both important users of ftrace. It is necessary to allow them work on the same function at the same time. First, DIRECT ops no longer specify IPMODIFY flag. Instead, DIRECT flag is handled together with IPMODIFY flag in __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify(). Then, a callback function, ops_func, is added to ftrace_ops. This is used by ftrace core code to understand whether the DIRECT ops can share with an IPMODIFY ops. To share with IPMODIFY ops, the DIRECT ops need to implement the callback function and adjust the direct trampoline accordingly. If DIRECT ops is attached before the IPMODIFY ops, ftrace core code calls ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY_PEER on the DIRECT ops before registering the IPMODIFY ops. If IPMODIFY ops is attached before the DIRECT ops, ftrace core code calls ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY_SELF in __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify. Owner of the DIRECT ops may return 0 if the DIRECT trampoline can share with IPMODIFY, so error code otherwise. The error code is propagated to register_ftrace_direct_multi so that onwer of the DIRECT trampoline can handle it properly. For more details, please refer to comment before enum ftrace_ops_cmd.

This is similar to modify_ftrace_direct_multi, but does not acquire direct_mutex. This is useful when direct_mutex is already locked by the user.

ftrace: Add ftrace_lookup_symbols function

2022-05-10T21:42:06+00:00

Adding ftrace_lookup_symbols function that resolves array of symbols with single pass over kallsyms. The user provides array of string pointers with count and pointer to allocated array for resolved values. int ftrace_lookup_symbols(const char **sorted_syms, size_t cnt, unsigned long *addrs) It iterates all kallsyms symbols and tries to loop up each in provided symbols array with bsearch. The symbols array needs to be sorted by name for this reason. We also check each symbol to pass ftrace_location, because this API will be used for fprobe symbols resolving.

ftrace: move sysctl_ftrace_enabled to ftrace.c

2022-04-06T20:43:44+00:00

This moves ftrace_enabled to trace/ftrace.c. We move sysctls to places where features actually belong to improve the readability of the code and reduce the risk of code merge conflicts. At the same time, the proc-sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your owner piece of code, we just care about the core logic.
