selftests/tracing: Fix test_multiple_writes stall

2026-01-09T22:49:32+00:00

When /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb is less than 12KB, the test_multiple_writes test will stall and wait for more input due to insufficient buffer space. Check current buffer_size_kb value before the test. If it is less than 12KB, it temporarily increase the buffer to 12KB, and restore the original value after the tests are completed.

Pull runtime verifier updates from Steven Rostedt: - Adapt the ftracetest script to be run from a different folder This uses the already existing OPT_TEST_DIR but extends it further to run independent tests, then add an --rv flag to allow using the script for testing RV (mostly) independently on ftrace. - Add basic RV selftests in selftests/verification for more validations Add more validations for available/enabled monitors and reactors. This could have caught the bug introducing kernel panic solved above. Tests use ftracetest. - Convert react() function in reactor to use va_list directly Use a central helper to handle the variadic arguments. Clean up macros and mark functions as static. - Add lockdep annotations to reactors to have lockdep complain of errors If the reactors are called from improper context. Useful to develop new reactors. This highlights a warning in the panic reactor that is related to the printk subsystem and not to RV. - Convert core RV code to use lock guards and __free helpers This completely removes goto statements. - Fix compilation if !CONFIG_RV_REACTORS Fix the warning by keeping LTL monitor variable as always static. * tag 'trace-rv-6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: rv: Fix compilation if !CONFIG_RV_REACTORS rv: Convert to use __free rv: Convert to use lock guard rv: Add explicit lockdep context for reactors rv: Make rv_reacting_on() static rv: Pass va_list to reactors selftests/verification: Add initial RV tests selftest/ftrace: Generalise ftracetest to use with RV

selftest/ftrace: Generalise ftracetest to use with RV

2025-11-11T11:40:15+00:00

The ftracetest script is a fairly complete test framework for tracefs-like subsystem, but it can only be used for ftrace selftests. If OPT_TEST_DIR is provided and includes a function file, use that as test directory going forward rather than just grabbing tests from it. Generalise function names like initialize_ftrace to initialize_system. Add the --rv argument to set up the test for rv, basically changing the trace directory to $TRACING_DIR/rv and displaying an error if that cannot be found. This prepares for rv selftests inclusion.

selftests/tracing: Add basic test for trace_marker_raw file

2025-11-06T22:23:50+00:00

Commit 64cf7d058a00 ("tracing: Have trace_marker use per-cpu data to read user space") made an update that fixed both trace_marker and trace_marker_raw. But the small difference made to trace_marker_raw had a blatant bug in it that any basic testing would have uncovered. Unfortunately, the self tests have tests for trace_marker but nothing for trace_marker_raw which allowed the bug to get upstream. Add basic selftests to test trace_marker_raw so that this doesn't happen again.

selftests/ftrace: Fix to use remount when testing mount GID option

2025-01-15T00:06:32+00:00

Fix mount_options.tc to use remount option to mount the tracefs. Since the current implementation does not umount the tracefs, this test always fails because of -EBUSY error. Using remount option will allow us to change the mount option.

selftests/ftrace: Fix eventfs ownership testcase to find mount point

2024-09-04T21:08:18+00:00

Fix eventfs ownership testcase to find mount point if stat -c "%m" failed. This can happen on the system based on busybox. In this case, this will try to use the current working directory, which should be a tracefs top directory (and eventfs is mounted as a part of tracefs.) If it does not work, the test is skipped as UNRESOLVED because of the environmental problem.

tracing/selftests: Run the ownership test twice

2024-08-07T20:51:16+00:00

A regression happened where running the ownership test passes on the first iteration but fails running it a second time. This was caught and fixed, but a later change brought it back. The regression was missed because the automated tests only run the tests once per boot. Change the ownership test to iterate through the tests twice, as this will catch the regression with a single run.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and only those events are exposed to this instance. - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than just the architecture page size. A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in 10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is the next available size that can hold 10K pages. - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information to this dump that helps with debugging. - Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is enabled) - Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes. - Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold). - Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can hold. - Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has been removed. - More selftests were added. - Some code clean ups as well. * tag 'trace-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (29 commits) ring-buffer: Remove stale comment from ring_buffer_size() tracing histograms: Simplify parse_actions() function tracing/selftests: Remove exec permissions from trace_marker.tc test ring-buffer: Use subbuf_order for buffer page masking tracing: Update subbuffer with kilobytes not page order ringbuffer/selftest: Add basic selftest to test changing subbuf order ring-buffer: Add documentation on the buffer_subbuf_order file ring-buffer: Just update the subbuffers when changing their allocation order ring-buffer: Keep the same size when updating the order tracing: Stop the tracing while changing the ring buffer subbuf size tracing: Update snapshot order along with main buffer order ring-buffer: Make sure the spare sub buffer used for reads has same size ring-buffer: Do no swap cpu buffers if order is different ring-buffer: Clear pages on error in ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() failure ring-buffer: Read and write to ring buffers with custom sub buffer size ring-buffer: Set new size of the ring buffer sub page ring-buffer: Add interface for configuring trace sub buffer size ring-buffer: Page size per ring buffer ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_print_page_header() be able to access ring_buffer_iter ring-buffer: Check if absolute timestamp goes backwards ...
