ftrace/samples: Fix function size computation

2025-09-19T14:29:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 80d03a40837a9b26750a25122b906c052cc846c9 ] In my_tramp1 function .size directive was placed above ASM_RET instruction, leading to a wrong function size.

tracing: samples: Initialize trace_array_printk() with the correct function

2025-05-22T12:10:06+00:00

commit 1b0c192c92ea1fe2dcb178f84adf15fe37c3e7c8 upstream. When using trace_array_printk() on a created instance, the correct function to use to initialize it is: trace_array_init_printk() Not trace_printk_init_buffer() The former is a proper function to use, the latter is for initializing trace_printk() and causes the NOTICE banner to be displayed.

samples: ftrace: Save required argument registers in sample trampolines

2023-07-23T11:49:44+00:00

commit 8564c315876ab86fcaf8e7f558d6a84cb2ce5590 upstream. The ftrace-direct-too sample traces the handle_mm_fault function whose signature changed since the introduction of the sample. Since: commit bce617edecad ("mm: do page fault accounting in handle_mm_fault") handle_mm_fault now has 4 arguments. Therefore, the sample trampoline should save 4 argument registers. s390 saves all argument registers already so it does not need a change but x86_64 needs an extra push and pop. This also evolves the signature of the tracing function to make it mirror the signature of the traced function.

ftrace: Export ftrace_free_filter() to modules

2023-02-01T07:34:37+00:00

commit 8be9fbd5345da52f4a74f7f81d55ff9fa0a2958e upstream. Setting filters on an ftrace ops results in some memory being allocated for the filter hashes, which must be freed before the ops can be freed. This can be done by removing every individual element of the hash by calling ftrace_set_filter_ip() or ftrace_set_filter_ips() with `remove` set, but this is somewhat error prone as it's easy to forget to remove an element. Make it easier to clean this up by exporting ftrace_free_filter(), which can be used to clean up all of the filter hashes after an ftrace_ops has been unregistered. Using this, fix the ftrace-direct* samples to free hashes prior to being unloaded. All other code either removes individual filters explicitly or is built-in and already calls ftrace_free_filter().

Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov: - Get rid of all the .fixup sections because this generates misleading/wrong stacktraces and confuse RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH as the backtrace misses the function which is being fixed up. - Add Straight Line Speculation mitigation support which uses a new compiler switch -mharden-sls= which sticks an INT3 after a RET or an indirect branch in order to block speculation after them.

ftrace/samples: Add missing prototypes direct functions

2022-01-05T23:34:50+00:00

There's another compilation fail (first here [1]) reported by kernel test robot for W=1 clang build: >> samples/ftrace/ftrace-direct-multi-modify.c:7:6: warning: no previous prototype for function 'my_direct_func1' [-Wmissing-prototypes] void my_direct_func1(unsigned long ip) Direct functions in ftrace direct sample modules need to have prototypes defined. They are already global in order to be visible for the inline assembly, so there's no problem. The kernel test robot reported just error for ftrace-direct-multi-modify, but I got same errors also for the rest of the modules touched by this patch.

ftrace/samples: Add module to test multi direct modify interface

2021-12-09T18:02:44+00:00

Adding ftrace-direct-multi-modify.ko kernel module that uses modify_ftrace_direct_multi API. The core functionality is taken from ftrace-direct-modify.ko kernel module and changed to fit multi direct interface. The init function creates kthread that periodically calls modify_ftrace_direct_multi to change the trampoline address for the direct ftrace_ops. The ftrace trace_pipe then shows trace from both trampolines.
