selftests/ftrace: traceonoff_triggers: strip off names

2026-01-11T14:22:09+00:00

[ Upstream commit b889b4fb4cbea3ca7eb9814075d6a51936394bd9 ] The func_traceonoff_triggers.tc sometimes goes to fail on my board, Kunpeng-920. [root@localhost]# ./ftracetest ./test.d/ftrace/func_traceonoff_triggers.tc -l fail.log === Ftrace unit tests === [1] ftrace - test for function traceon/off triggers [FAIL] [2] (instance) ftrace - test for function traceon/off triggers [UNSUPPORTED] I look up the log, and it shows that the md5sum is different between csum1 and csum2. ++ cnt=611 ++ sleep .1 +++ cnt_trace +++ grep -v '^#' trace +++ wc -l ++ cnt2=611 ++ '[' 611 -ne 611 ']' +++ cat tracing_on ++ on=0 ++ '[' 0 '!=' 0 ']' +++ md5sum trace ++ csum1='76896aa74362fff66a6a5f3cf8a8a500 trace' ++ sleep .1 +++ md5sum trace ++ csum2='ee8625a21c058818fc26e45c1ed3f6de trace' ++ '[' '76896aa74362fff66a6a5f3cf8a8a500 trace' '!=' 'ee8625a21c058818fc26e45c1ed3f6de trace' ']' ++ fail 'Tracing file is still changing' ++ echo Tracing file is still changing Tracing file is still changing ++ exit_fail ++ exit 1 So I directly dump the trace file before md5sum, the diff shows that: [root@localhost]# diff trace_1.log trace_2.log -y --suppress-common-lines dockerd-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510290: sched_stat | <...>-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510290: sched_stat dockerd-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510291: sched_swit | <...>-12285 [036] d.... 18385.510291: sched_swit <...>-740 [044] d.... 18385.602859: sched_stat | kworker/44:1-740 [044] d.... 18385.602859: sched_stat <...>-740 [044] d.... 18385.602860: sched_swit | kworker/44:1-740 [044] d.... 18385.602860: sched_swit And we can see that <...> filed be filled with names.

selftests/tracing: Run sample events to clear page cache events

2025-11-24T09:30:07+00:00

commit dd4adb986a86727ed8f56c48b6d0695f1e211e65 upstream. The tracing selftest "event-filter-function.tc" was failing because it first runs the "sample_events" function that triggers the kmem_cache_free event and it looks at what function was used during a call to "ls". But the first time it calls this, it could trigger events that are used to pull pages into the page cache. The rest of the test uses the function it finds during that call to see if it will be called in subsequent "sample_events" calls. But if there's no need to pull pages into the page cache, it will not trigger that function and the test will fail. Call the "sample_events" twice to trigger all the page cache work before it calls it to find a function to use in subsequent checks.

selftests: tracing: Use mutex_unlock for testing glob filter

2025-08-28T14:28:17+00:00

[ Upstream commit a089bb2822a49b0c5777a8936f82c1f8629231fb ] Since commit c5b6ababd21a ("locking/mutex: implement mutex_trylock_nested") makes mutex_trylock() as an inlined function if CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, we can not use mutex_trylock() for testing the glob filter of ftrace. Use mutex_unlock instead.

selftests/tracing: Fix false failure of subsystem event test

2025-08-15T10:08:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit 213879061a9c60200ba971330dbefec6df3b4a30 ] The subsystem event test enables all "sched" events and makes sure there's at least 3 different events in the output. It used to cat the entire trace file to | wc -l, but on slow machines, that could last a very long time. To solve that, it was changed to just read the first 100 lines of the trace file. This can cause false failures as some events repeat so often, that the 100 lines that are examined could possibly be of only one event. Instead, create an awk script that looks for 3 different events and will exit out after it finds them. This will find the 3 events the test looks for (eventually if it works), and still exit out after the test is satisfied and not cause slower machines to run forever.

selftests/ftrace: adjust offset for kprobe syntax error test

2024-12-14T19:00:21+00:00

[ Upstream commit 777f290ab328de333b85558bb6807a69a59b36ba ] In 'NOFENTRY_ARGS' test case for syntax check, any offset X of `vfs_read+X` except function entry offset (0) fits the criterion, even if that offset is not at instruction boundary, as the parser comes before probing. But with "ENDBR64" instruction on x86, offset 4 is treated as function entry. So, X can't be 4 as well. Thus, 8 was used as offset for the test case. On 64-bit powerpc though, any offset <= 16 can be considered function entry depending on build configuration (see arch_kprobe_on_func_entry() for implementation details). So, use `vfs_read+20` to accommodate that scenario too.

tracing/probes: Support $argN in return probe (kprobe and fprobe)

2024-11-01T00:58:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 25f00e40ce7953db197af3a59233711d154c9d80 ] Support accessing $argN in the return probe events. This will help users to record entry data in function return (exit) event for simplfing the function entry/exit information in one event, and record the result values (e.g. allocated object/initialized object) at function exit. For example, if we have a function `int init_foo(struct foo *obj, int param)` sometimes we want to check how `obj` is initialized. In such case, we can define a new return event like below; # echo 'r init_foo retval=$retval param=$arg2 field1=+0($arg1)' >> kprobe_events Thus it records the function parameter `param` and its result `obj->field1` (the dereference will be done in the function exit timing) value at once. This also support fprobe, BTF args and'$arg*'. So if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled, we can trace both function parameters and the return value by following command. # echo 'f target_function%return $arg* $retval' >> dynamic_events Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/170952365552.229804.224112990211602895.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) Stable-dep-of: 373b9338c972 ("uprobe: avoid out-of-bounds memory access of fetching args") Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

selftests/ftrace: Add required dependency for kprobe tests

[ Upstream commit 41f37c852ac3fbfd072a00281b60dc7ba056be8c ] kprobe_args_{char,string}.tc are using available_filter_functions file which is provided by function tracer. Thus if function tracer is disabled, these tests are failed on recent kernels because tracefs_create_dir is not raised events by adding a dynamic event.

tracing/selftests: Fix kprobe event name test for .isra. functions

2024-06-21T12:38:39+00:00

commit 23a4b108accc29a6125ed14de4a044689ffeda78 upstream. The kprobe_eventname.tc test checks if a function with .isra. can have a kprobe attached to it. It loops through the kallsyms file for all the functions that have the .isra. name, and checks if it exists in the available_filter_functions file, and if it does, it uses it to attach a kprobe to it. The issue is that kprobes can not attach to functions that are listed more than once in available_filter_functions. With the latest kernel, the function that is found is: rapl_event_update.isra.0 # grep rapl_event_update.isra.0 /sys/kernel/tracing/available_filter_functions rapl_event_update.isra.0 rapl_event_update.isra.0 It is listed twice. This causes the attached kprobe to it to fail which in turn fails the test. Instead of just picking the function function that is found in available_filter_functions, pick the first one that is listed only once in available_filter_functions.

selftests/ftrace: Fix to check required event file

[ Upstream commit f6c3c83db1d939ebdb8c8922748ae647d8126d91 ] The dynevent/test_duplicates.tc test case uses `syscalls/sys_enter_openat` event for defining eprobe on it. Since this `syscalls` events depend on CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS=y, if it is not set, the test will fail. Add the event file to `required` line so that the test will return `unsupported` result.
