ftrace: Reuse the output of the function tracer for func_repeats

2021-04-15T20:34:26+00:00

The func_repeats event shows the output of the function tracer followed by a count of the number of repeats the previous function had made, as well as the timestamp of the last function that was repeated. The printing of the function should be the same as is for the function it is displaying. Reuse the code in trace_fn_trace() by making a helper function print_fn_trace() and use it for trace_func_repeats_print(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

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: Define static void trace_print_time()

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

The part of the code that prints the time of the trace record in "int trace_print_context()" gets extracted in a static function. This is done as a preparation for a following patch, in which we will define a new ftrace event called "func_repeats". The new static method, defined here, will be used by this new event to print the time of the last repeat of a function that is consecutively called number of times.

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: Show real address for trace event arguments

2021-02-11T21:31:57+00:00

To help debugging kernel, show real address for trace event arguments in tracefs/trace{,pipe} instead of hashed pointer value. Since ftrace human-readable format uses vsprintf(), all %p are translated to hash values instead of pointer address. However, when debugging the kernel, raw address value gives a hint when comparing with the memory mapping in the kernel. (Those are sometimes used with crash log, which is not hashed too) So converting %p with %px when calling trace_seq_printf(). Moreover, this is not improving the security because the tracefs can be used only by root user and the raw address values are readable from tracefs/percpu/cpu*/trace_pipe_raw file.

ftrace: Add recording of functions that caused recursion

2020-11-06T13:42:26+00:00

This adds CONFIG_FTRACE_RECORD_RECURSION that will record to a file "recursed_functions" all the functions that caused recursion while a callback to the function tracer was running.

tracing: Make the space reserved for the pid wider

2020-09-18T16:42:11+00:00

For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to 4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default becomes 131072 which needs six digits. This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the initial upper limit. Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like on big iron with 98+ CPUs). Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

tracing: Save one trace_event->type by using __TRACE_LAST_TYPE

2020-07-09T22:14:58+00:00

Static defined trace_event->type stops at (__TRACE_LAST_TYPE - 1) and dynamic trace_event->type starts from (__TRACE_LAST_TYPE + 1). To save one trace_event->type index, let's use __TRACE_LAST_TYPE.

mmap locking API: use coccinelle to convert mmap_sem rwsem call sites
