2022-01-13scripts: ftrace - move the sort-processing in ftrace_initYinan Liu
When the kernel starts, the initialization of ftrace takes up a portion of the time (approximately 6~8ms) to sort mcount addresses. We can save this time by moving mcount-sorting to compile time.

2021-12-08ftrace: Use direct_ops hash in unregister_ftrace_directJiri Olsa
Now when we have *direct_multi interface the direct_functions hash is no longer owned just by direct_ops. It's also used by any other ftrace_ops passed to *direct_multi interface. Thus to find out that we are unregistering the last function from direct_ops, we need to check directly direct_ops's hash.

2021-10-27ftrace: disable preemption when recursion locked王贇
As the documentation explained, ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() and ftrace_test_recursion_unlock() were supposed to disable and enable preemption properly, however currently this work is done outside of the function, which could be missing by mistake. And since the internal using of trace_test_and_set_recursion() and trace_clear_recursion() also require preemption disabled, we can just merge the logical. This patch will make sure the preemption has been disabled when trace_test_and_set_recursion() return bit >= 0, and trace_clear_recursion() will enable the preemption if previously enabled.

2021-10-21ftrace/direct: Do not disable when switching direct callersSteven Rostedt (VMware)
Currently to switch a set of "multi" direct trampolines from one trampoline to another, a full shutdown of the current set needs to be done, followed by an update to what trampoline the direct callers would call, and then re-enabling the callers. This leaves a time when the functions will not be calling anything, and events may be missed. Instead, use a trick to allow all the functions with direct trampolines attached will always call either the new or old trampoline while the switch is happening. To do this, first attach a "dummy" callback via ftrace to all the functions that the current direct trampoline is attached to. This will cause the functions to call the "list func" instead of the direct trampoline. The list function will call the direct trampoline "helper" that will set the function it should call as it returns back to the ftrace trampoline. At this moment, the direct caller descriptor can safely update the direct call trampoline. The list function will pick either the new or old function (depending on the memory coherency model of the architecture). Now removing the dummy function from each of the locations of the direct trampoline caller, will put back the direct call, but now to the new trampoline. A better visual is: [ Changing direct call from my_direct_1 to my_direct_2 ] <traced_func>: call my_direct_1 |||||||||||||||||||| vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv <traced_func>: call ftrace_caller <ftrace_caller>: [..] call ftrace_ops_list_func ftrace_ops_list_func() { ops->func() -> direct_helper -> set rax to my_direct_1 or my_direct_2 } call rax (to either my_direct_1 or my_direct_2 |||||||||||||||||||| vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv <traced_func>: call my_direct_2 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211014162819.5c85618b@gandalf.local.home/ Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2021-10-19tracing: Use linker magic instead of recasting ftrace_ops_list_func()Steven Rostedt (VMware)
In an effort to enable -Wcast-function-type in the top-level Makefile to support Control Flow Integrity builds, all function casts need to be removed. This means that ftrace_ops_list_func() can no longer be defined as ftrace_ops_no_ops(). The reason for ftrace_ops_no_ops() is to use that when an architecture calls ftrace_ops_list_func() with only two parameters (called from assembly). And to make sure there's no C side-effects, those archs call ftrace_ops_no_ops() which only has two parameters, as ftrace_ops_list_func() has four parameters. Instead of a typecast, use vmlinux.lds.h to define ftrace_ops_list_func() to arch_ftrace_ops_list_func() that will define the proper set of parameters.

2021-10-18tracing: Have all levels of checks prevent recursionSteven Rostedt (VMware)
While writing an email explaining the "bit = 0" logic for a discussion on making ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() disable preemption, I discovered a path that makes the "not do the logic if bit is zero" unsafe. The recursion logic is done in hot paths like the function tracer. Thus, any code executed causes noticeable overhead. Thus, tricks are done to try to limit the amount of code executed. This included the recursion testing logic. Having recursion testing is important, as there are many paths that can end up in an infinite recursion cycle when tracing every function in the kernel. Thus protection is needed to prevent that from happening. Because it is OK to recurse due to different running context levels (e.g. an interrupt preempts a trace, and then a trace occurs in the interrupt handler), a set of bits are used to know which context one is in (normal, softirq, irq and NMI). If a recursion occurs in the same level, it is prevented*. Then there are infrastructure levels of recursion as well. When more than one callback is attached to the same function to trace, it calls a loop function to iterate over all the callbacks. Both the callbacks and the loop function have recursion protection. The callbacks use the "ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()" which has a "function" set of context bits to test, and the loop function calls the internal trace_test_and_set_recursion() directly, with an "internal" set of bits. If an architecture does not implement all the features supported by ftrace then the callbacks are never called directly, and the loop function is called instead, which will implement the features of ftrace. Since both the loop function and the callbacks do recursion protection, it was seemed unnecessary to do it in both locations. Thus, a trick was made to have the internal set of recursion bits at a more significant bit location than the function bits. Then, if any of the higher bits were set, the logic of the function bits could be skipped, as any new recursion would first have to go through the loop function. This is true for architectures that do not support all the ftrace features, because all functions being traced must first go through the loop function before going to the callbacks. But this is not true for architectures that support all the ftrace features. That's because the loop function could be called due to two callbacks attached to the same function, but then a recursion function inside the callback could be called that does not share any other callback, and it will be called directly. i.e. traced_function_1: [ more than one callback tracing it ] call loop_func loop_func: trace_recursion set internal bit call callback callback: trace_recursion [ skipped because internal bit is set, return 0 ] call traced_function_2 traced_function_2: [ only traced by above callback ] call callback callback: trace_recursion [ skipped because internal bit is set, return 0 ] call traced_function_2 [ wash, rinse, repeat, BOOM! out of shampoo! ] Thus, the "bit == 0 skip" trick is not safe, unless the loop function is call for all functions. Since we want to encourage architectures to implement all ftrace features, having them slow down due to this extra logic may encourage the maintainers to update to the latest ftrace features. And because this logic is only safe for them, remove it completely. [*] There is on layer of recursion that is allowed, and that is to allow for the transition between interrupt context (normal -> softirq -> irq -> NMI), because a trace may occur before the context update is visible to the trace recursion logic.

When building the files in the tracefs file system, do not by default set any permissions for OTH (other). This will make it easier for admins who want to define a group for accessing tracefs and not having to first disable all the permission bits for "other" in the file system. As tracing can leak sensitive information, it should never by default allowing all users access. An admin can still set the permission bits for others to have access, which may be useful for creating a honeypot and seeing who takes advantage of it and roots the machine.

Instead of having the logic that does trace_pid_list open coded, wrap it in abstract functions. This will allow a rewrite of the logic that implements the trace_pid_list without affecting the users. Note, this causes a change in behavior. Every time a pid is written into the set_*_pid file, it creates a new list and uses RCU to update it. If pid_max is lowered, but there was a pid currently in the list that was higher than pid_max, those pids will now be removed on updating the list. The old behavior kept that from happening. The rewrite of the pid_list logic will no longer depend on pid_max, and will return the old behavior. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2021-08-03ftrace: Introduce ftrace_need_init_nop()Ilya Leoshkevich
Implementing live patching on s390 requires each function's prologue to contain a very special kind of nop, which gcc and clang don't generate. However, the current code assumes that if CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT is defined, then whatever the compiler generates is good enough. Move the CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT check into the new ftrace_need_init_nop() macro, that the architectures can override. An alternative solution is to disable using -mnop-mcount in the Makefile, however, this makes the build logic (even) more complicated and forces the arch-specific code to deal with the useless __fentry__ symbol.

It was reported that a bug on arm64 caused a bad ip address to be used for updating into a nop in ftrace_init(), but the error path (rightfully) returned -EINVAL and not -EFAULT, as the bug caused more than one error to occur. But because -EINVAL was returned, the ftrace_bug() tried to report what was at the location of the ip address, and read it directly. This caused the machine to panic, as the ip was not pointing to a valid memory address.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt: "Fix probes written to the set_ftrace_filter file Now that there's a library that accesses the tracefs file system (libtracefs), the way the files are interacted with is slightly different than the command line. For instance, the write() system call is used directly instead of an echo. This exposes some old bugs. If a probe is written to "set_ftrace_filter" without any white space after it, it will be ignored. This is because the write expects that a string written to it that does not end with white spaces thinks there is more to come. But if the file is closed, the release function needs to finish it. The "set_ftrace_filter" release function handles the filter part of the "set_ftrace_filter" file, but did not handle the probe part" * tag 'trace-v5.13-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: ftrace: Handle commands when closing set_ftrace_filter file
2021-05-05ftrace: Handle commands when closing set_ftrace_filter fileSteven Rostedt (VMware)
# echo switch_mm:traceoff > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter will cause switch_mm to stop tracing by the traceoff command. # echo -n switch_mm:traceoff > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter does nothing. The reason is that the parsing in the write function only processes commands if it finished parsing (there is white space written after the command). That's to handle: write(fd, "switch_mm:", 10); write(fd, "traceoff", 8); cases, where the command is broken over multiple writes. The problem is if the file descriptor is closed, then the write call is not processed, and the command needs to be processed in the release code. The release code can handle matching of functions, but does not handle commands.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New feature: - A new "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory. When set the function tracer will detect if the current function being traced is the same as the previous one, and instead of recording it, it will keep track of the number of times that the function is repeated in a row. And when another function is recorded, it will write a new event that shows the function that repeated, the number of times it repeated and the time stamp of when the last repeated function occurred. Enhancements: - In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no longer needs to waste ring buffer space. - New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise. Fixes: - No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for "saved_cmdlines" to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows for a much larger range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the task names to be dropped for all tasks with a PID greater than 32768. - Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config option called CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. Currently, only x86_64 enables it. All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception (needed for kprobes). A new config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at most every event recorded. Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those callbacks). Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do it for it (saving on that extra function call). New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer.

2020-11-30ftrace: Fix updating FTRACE_FL_TRAMPNaveen N. Rao
On powerpc, kprobe-direct.tc triggered FTRACE_WARN_ON() in ftrace_get_addr_new() followed by the below message: Bad trampoline accounting at: 000000004222522f (wake_up_process+0xc/0x20) (f0000001) The set of steps leading to this involved: - modprobe ftrace-direct-too - enable_probe - modprobe ftrace-direct - rmmod ftrace-direct <-- trigger The problem turned out to be that we were not updating flags in the ftrace record properly. From the above message about the trampoline accounting being bad, it can be seen that the ftrace record still has FTRACE_FL_TRAMP set though ftrace-direct module is going away. This happens because we are checking if any ftrace_ops has the FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag set _before_ updating the filter hash. The fix for this is to look for any _other_ ftrace_ops that also needs FTRACE_FL_TRAMP.

2020-11-13ftrace: Have the callbacks receive a struct ftrace_regs instead of pt_regsSteven Rostedt (VMware)
In preparation to have arguments of a function passed to callbacks attached to functions as default, change the default callback prototype to receive a struct ftrace_regs as the forth parameter instead of a pt_regs. For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a FL_SAVE_REGS flag set, it that helper function will return NULL. This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters and stack pointer, but without the worry that callbacks may have a pt_regs that is not completely filled.

2020-09-29ftrace: Move RCU is watching check after recursion checkSteven Rostedt (VMware)
The first thing that the ftrace function callback helper functions should do is to check for recursion. Peter Zijlstra found that when "rcu_is_watching()" had its notrace removed, it caused perf function tracing to crash. This is because the call of rcu_is_watching() is tested before function recursion is checked and and if it is traced, it will cause an infinite recursion loop. rcu_is_watching() should still stay notrace, but to prevent this should never had crashed in the first place. The recursion prevention must be the first thing done in callback functions.
