selftests/user_events: fix type cast for write_index packed member in perf_test

2025-11-24T09:36:02+00:00

commit 216158f063fe24fb003bd7da0cd92cd6e2c4d48b upstream. Accessing 'reg.write_index' directly triggers a -Waddress-of-packed-member warning due to potential unaligned pointer access: perf_test.c:239:38: warning: taking address of packed member 'write_index' of class or structure 'user_reg' may result in an unaligned pointer value [-Waddress-of-packed-member] 239 | ASSERT_NE(-1, write(self->data_fd, ®.write_index, | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since write(2) works with any alignment. Casting '®.write_index' explicitly to 'void *' to suppress this warning.

selftests/user_events: Add non-spacing separator check

2024-05-13T16:15:46+00:00

The ABI documentation indicates that field separators do not need a space between them, only a ';'. When no spacing is used, the register must work. Any subsequent register, with or without spaces, must match and not return -EADDRINUSE. Add a non-spacing separator case to our self-test register case to ensure it works going forward.

selftests/user_events: Test multi-format events

2024-03-18T14:13:12+00:00

User_events now has multi-format events which allow for the same register name, but with different formats. When this occurs, different tracepoints are created with unique names. Add a new test that ensures the same name can be used for two different formats. Ensure they are isolated from each other and that name and arg matching still works if yet another register comes in with the same format as one of the two.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Remove eventfs_file descriptor This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs create its files dynamically. In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by a eventfs_file. In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback. When an event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create this file. This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs instances down by 2 megs each! - User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even if no process is attached to them - Clean up of seq_buf There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf to be able to do this - Expand instance ring buffers individually Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance - Other minor clean ups and fixes * tag 'trace-v6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (34 commits) seq_buf: Export seq_buf_puts() seq_buf: Export seq_buf_putc() eventfs: Use simple_recursive_removal() to clean up dentries eventfs: Remove special processing of dput() of events directory eventfs: Delete eventfs_inode when the last dentry is freed eventfs: Hold eventfs_mutex when calling callback functions eventfs: Save ownership and mode eventfs: Test for ei->is_freed when accessing ei->dentry eventfs: Have a free_ei() that just frees the eventfs_inode eventfs: Remove "is_freed" union with rcu head eventfs: Fix kerneldoc of eventfs_remove_rec() tracing: Have the user copy of synthetic event address use correct context eventfs: Remove extra dget() in eventfs_create_events_dir() tracing: Have trace_event_file have ref counters seq_buf: Introduce DECLARE_SEQ_BUF and seq_buf_str() eventfs: Fix typo in eventfs_inode union comment eventfs: Fix WARN_ON() in create_file_dentry() powerpc: Remove initialisation of readpos tracing/histograms: Simplify last_cmd_set() seq_buf: fix a misleading comment ...

selftests/user_events: Fix abi_test for BE archs

2023-10-17T21:07:19+00:00

The abi_test currently uses a long sized test value for enablement checks. On LE this works fine, however, on BE this results in inaccurate assert checks due to a bit being used and assuming it's value is the same on both LE and BE. Use int type for 32-bit values and long type for 64-bit values to ensure appropriate behavior on both LE and BE.

Ensure both the ABI and DYN cases work by calling both during the parse tests. Add new flags test that ensures only USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST is honored and any other flag is invalid.
