tracing: Prevent PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES when FORTIFY_SOURCE=y

2018-01-15T19:15:31Z

I regularly get 50 MB - 60 MB files during kernel randconfig builds. These large files mostly contain (many repeats of; e.g., 124,594): In file included from ../include/linux/string.h:6:0, from ../include/linux/uuid.h:20, from ../include/linux/mod_devicetable.h:13, from ../scripts/mod/devicetable-offsets.c:3: ../include/linux/compiler.h:64:4: warning: '______f' is static but declared in inline function 'strcpy' which is not static [enabled by default] ______f = { \ ^ ../include/linux/compiler.h:56:23: note: in expansion of macro '__trace_if' ^ ../include/linux/string.h:425:2: note: in expansion of macro 'if' if (p_size == (size_t)-1 && q_size == (size_t)-1) ^ This only happens when CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=y and CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES=y, so prevent PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES if FORTIFY_SOURCE=y.

tracing: make PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS depend on TRACING

2017-12-04T11:52:09Z

When CONFIG_TRACING is disabled, the new preemptirq events tracer produces a build failure: In file included from kernel/trace/trace_irqsoff.c:17:0: kernel/trace/trace.h: In function 'trace_test_and_set_recursion': kernel/trace/trace.h:542:28: error: 'struct task_struct' has no member named 'trace_recursion' Adding an explicit dependency avoids the broken configuration.

tracing: Add support for preempt and irq enable/disable events

2017-10-10T22:58:43Z

Preempt and irq trace events can be used for tracing the start and end of an atomic section which can be used by a trace viewer like systrace to graphically view the start and end of an atomic section and correlate them with latencies and scheduling issues. This also serves as a prelude to using synthetic events or probes to rewrite the preempt and irqsoff tracers, along with numerous benefits of using trace events features for these events.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "New features for this release: - Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins. i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter - The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing instances. i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter The old way was written very hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks. - New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the set_ftrace_pid will have their children added when the processes with their pids listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks. - Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events - Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function tracer (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing will come in the next release. - Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance" * tag 'trace-v4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (60 commits) ring-buffer: Return reader page back into existing ring buffer selftests: ftrace: Allow some event trigger tests to run in an instance selftests: ftrace: Have some basic tests run in a tracing instance too selftests: ftrace: Have event tests also run in an tracing instance selftests: ftrace: Make func_event_triggers and func_traceonoff_triggers tests do instances selftests: ftrace: Allow some tests to be run in a tracing instance tracing/ftrace: Allow for instances to trigger their own stacktrace probes tracing/ftrace: Allow for the traceonoff probe be unique to instances tracing/ftrace: Enable snapshot function trigger to work with instances tracing/ftrace: Allow instances to have their own function probes tracing/ftrace: Add a better way to pass data via the probe functions ftrace: Dynamically create the probe ftrace_ops for the trace_array tracing: Pass the trace_array into ftrace_probe_ops functions tracing: Have the trace_array hold the list of registered func probes ftrace: If the hash for a probe fails to update then free what was initialized ftrace: Have the function probes call their own function ftrace: Have each function probe use its own ftrace_ops ftrace: Have unregister_ftrace_function_probe_func() return a value ftrace: Add helper function ftrace_hash_move_and_update_ops() ftrace: Remove data field from ftrace_func_probe structure ...

ftrace: Add use of synchronize_rcu_tasks() with dynamic trampolines

2017-04-07T13:41:51Z

The function tracer needs to be more careful than other subsystems when it comes to freeing data. Especially if that data is actually executable code. When a single function is traced, a trampoline can be dynamically allocated which is called to jump to the function trace callback. When the callback is no longer needed, the dynamic allocated trampoline needs to be freed. This is where the issues arise. The dynamically allocated trampoline must not be used again. As function tracing can trace all subsystems, including subsystems that are used to serialize aspects of freeing (namely RCU), it must take extra care when doing the freeing. Before synchronize_rcu_tasks() was around, there was no way for the function tracer to know that nothing was using the dynamically allocated trampoline when CONFIG_PREEMPT was enabled. That's because a task could be indefinitely preempted while sitting on the trampoline. Now with synchronize_rcu_tasks(), it will wait till all tasks have either voluntarily scheduled (not on the trampoline) or goes into userspace (not on the trampoline). Then it is safe to free the trampoline even with CONFIG_PREEMPT set. Acked-by: "Paul E. McKenney" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)
