tracing/probes: Add tracepoint support on fprobe_events

2023-06-06T12:39:55+00:00

Allow fprobe_events to trace raw tracepoints so that user can trace tracepoints which don't have traceevent wrappers. This new event is always available if the fprobe_events is enabled (thus no kconfig), because the fprobe_events depends on the trace-event and traceporint. e.g. # echo 't sched_overutilized_tp' >> dynamic_events # echo 't 9p_client_req' >> dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events t:tracepoints/sched_overutilized_tp sched_overutilized_tp t:tracepoints/_9p_client_req 9p_client_req The event name is based on the tracepoint name, but if it is started with digit character, an underscore '_' will be added. NOTE: to avoid further confusion, this renames TPARG_FL_TPOINT to TPARG_FL_TEVENT because this flag is used for eprobe (trace-event probe). And reuse TPARG_FL_TPOINT for this raw tracepoint probe.

tracing: Make tracepoint lockdep check actually test something

2023-03-14T21:50:09+00:00

A while ago where the trace events had the following: rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace(); rcu_dereference_sched(...); rcu_read_unlock_sched_notrace(); If the tracepoint is enabled, it could trigger RCU issues if called in the wrong place. And this warning was only triggered if lockdep was enabled. If the tracepoint was never enabled with lockdep, the bug would not be caught. To handle this, the above sequence was done when lockdep was enabled regardless if the tracepoint was enabled or not (although the always enabled code really didn't do anything, it would still trigger a warning). But a lot has changed since that lockdep code was added. One is, that sequence no longer triggers any warning. Another is, the tracepoint when enabled doesn't even do that sequence anymore. The main check we care about today is whether RCU is "watching" or not. So if lockdep is enabled, always check if rcu_is_watching() which will trigger a warning if it is not (tracepoints require RCU to be watching). Note, that old sequence did add a bit of overhead when lockdep was enabled, and with the latest kernel updates, would cause the system to slow down enough to trigger kernel "stalled" warnings.

tracing: Always use canonical ftrace path

2023-02-18T19:34:09+00:00

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many comments and Kconfig help messages in the tracing code still refer to this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Runtime verification infrastructure This is the biggest change here. It introduces the runtime verification that is necessary for running Linux on safety critical systems. It allows for deterministic automata models to be inserted into the kernel that will attach to tracepoints, where the information on these tracepoints will move the model from state to state. If a state is encountered that does not belong to the model, it will then activate a given reactor, that could just inform the user or even panic the kernel (for which safety critical systems will detect and can recover from). - Two monitor models are also added: Wakeup In Preemptive (WIP - not to be confused with "work in progress"), and Wakeup While Not Running (WWNR). - Added __vstring() helper to the TRACE_EVENT() macro to replace several vsnprintf() usages that were all doing it wrong. - eprobes now can have their event autogenerated when the event name is left off. - The rest is various cleanups and fixes. * tag 'trace-v6.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (50 commits) rv: Unlock on error path in rv_unregister_reactor() tracing: Use alignof__(struct {type b;}) instead of offsetof() tracing/eprobe: Show syntax error logs in error_log file scripts/tracing: Fix typo 'the the' in comment tracepoints: It is CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS not CONFIG_TRACEPOINT tracing: Use free_trace_buffer() in allocate_trace_buffers() tracing: Use a struct alignof to determine trace event field alignment rv/reactor: Add the panic reactor rv/reactor: Add the printk reactor rv/monitor: Add the wwnr monitor rv/monitor: Add the wip monitor rv/monitor: Add the wip monitor skeleton created by dot2k Documentation/rv: Add deterministic automata instrumentation documentation Documentation/rv: Add deterministic automata monitor synthesis documentation tools/rv: Add dot2k Documentation/rv: Add deterministic automaton documentation tools/rv: Add dot2c Documentation/rv: Add a basic documentation rv/include: Add instrumentation helper functions rv/include: Add deterministic automata monitor definition via C macros ...

When reading this note, CONFIG_TRACEPOINT searches my configuration file, and the result is CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS, the search results are consistent with the following macro definitions.
