tracing: Apply trace filters on all output channels

2021-08-26T12:35:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 6c34df6f350df9579ce99d887a2b5fa14cc13b32 ] The event filters are not applied on all of the output, which results in the flood of printk when using tp_printk. Unfolding event_trigger_unlock_commit_regs() into trace_event_buffer_commit(), so the filters can be applied on every output.

tracing: Add method for recording "func_repeats" events

2021-04-15T18:50:02+00:00

This patch only provides the implementation of the method. Later we will used it in a combination with a new option for function tracing. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210415181854.147448-5-y.karadz@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Yordan Karadzhov (VMware) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Add "last_func_repeats" to struct trace_array

2021-04-15T18:50:02+00:00

The field is used to keep track of the consecutive (on the same CPU) calls of a single function. This information is needed in order to consolidate the function tracing record in the cases when a single function is called number of times.

tracing: Define new ftrace event "func_repeats"

2021-04-15T18:50:01+00:00

The event aims to consolidate the function tracing record in the cases when a single function is called number of times consecutively. while (cond) do_func(); This may happen in various scenarios (busy waiting for example). The new ftrace event can be used to show repeated function events with a single event and save space on the ring buffer Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210415181854.147448-3-y.karadz@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Yordan Karadzhov (VMware) Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Add a verifier to check string pointers for trace events

2021-03-18T16:58:27+00:00

It is a common mistake for someone writing a trace event to save a pointer to a string in the TP_fast_assign() and then display that string pointer in the TP_printk() with %s. The problem is that those two events may happen a long time apart, where the source of the string may no longer exist. The proper way to handle displaying any string that is not guaranteed to be in the kernel core rodata section, is to copy it into the ring buffer via the __string(), __assign_str() and __get_str() helper macros. Add a check at run time while displaying the TP_printk() of events to make sure that every %s referenced is safe to dereference, and if it is not, trigger a warning and only show the address of the pointer, and the dereferenced string if it can be safely retrieved with a strncpy_from_kernel_nofault() call. In order to not have to copy the parsing of vsnprintf() formats, or even exporting its code, the verifier relies on vsnprintf() being able to modify the va_list that is passed to it, and it remains modified after it is called. This is the case for some architectures like x86_64, but other architectures like x86_32 pass the va_list to vsnprintf() as a value not a reference, and the verifier can not use it to parse the non string arguments. Thus, at boot up, it is checked if vsnprintf() modifies the passed in va_list or not, and a static branch will disable the verifier if it's not compatible. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Add tracing_event_time_stamp() API

2021-03-18T16:58:26+00:00

Add a tracing_event_time_stamp() API that checks if the event passed in is not on the ring buffer but a pointer to the per CPU trace_buffered_event which does not have its time stamp set yet. If it is a pointer to the trace_buffered_event, then just return the current time stamp that the ring buffer would produce. Otherwise, return the time stamp from the event.

tracing: Use a no_filter_buffering_ref to stop using the filter buffer

2021-03-18T16:58:26+00:00

Currently, the trace histograms relies on it using absolute time stamps to trigger the tracing to not use the temp buffer if filters are set. That's because the histograms need the full timestamp that is saved in the ring buffer. That is no longer the case, as the ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() can now return the time stamp for all events without all triggering a full absolute time stamp. Now that the absolute time stamp is an unrelated dependency to not using the filters. There's nothing about having absolute timestamps to keep from using the filter buffer. Instead, change the interface to explicitly state to disable filter buffering that the histogram logic can use.

tracing: Pass buffer of event to trigger operations

2021-03-18T16:58:26+00:00

The ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() is going to be updated to extract the time stamp for the event without needing it to be set to have absolute values for all events. But to do so, it needs the buffer that the event is on as the buffer saves information for the event before it is committed to the buffer. If the trace buffer is disabled, a temporary buffer is used, and there's no access to this buffer from the current histogram triggers, even though it is passed to the trace event code. Pass the buffer that the event is on all the way down to the histogram triggers.
