tracing/kprobes: Do the notrace functions check without kprobes on ftrace

2021-01-11T21:09:53Z

Enable the notrace function check on the architecture which doesn't support kprobes on ftrace but support dynamic ftrace. This notrace function check is not only for the kprobes on ftrace but also sw-breakpoint based kprobes. Thus there is no reason to limit this check for the arch which supports kprobes on ftrace. This also changes the dependency of Kconfig. Because kprobe event uses the function tracer's address list for identifying notrace function, if the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n, it can not check whether the target function is notrace or not.

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. This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the function tracer. The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.

Pull asm-generic cross-architecture timer cleanup from Arnd Bergmann: "This cleans up two ancient timer features that were never completed in the past, CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS and CONFIG_ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET. There was only one user left for the ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET variant of clocksource implementations, the ARM EBSA110 platform. Rather than changing to use modern timekeeping, we remove the platform entirely as Russell no longer uses his machine and nobody else seems to have one any more. The conditional code for using arch_gettimeoffset() is removed as a result. For CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, there are still a couple of platforms not using clockevent drivers: parisc, ia64, most of m68k, and one Arm platform. These all do timer ticks slighly differently, and this gets cleaned up to the point they at least all call the same helper function. Instead of most platforms using 'select GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' in Kconfig, the polarity is now reversed, with the few remaining ones selecting LEGACY_TIMER_TICK instead" * tag 'asm-generic-timers-5.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: timekeeping: default GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS to enabled timekeeping: remove xtime_update m68k: remove timer_interrupt() function m68k: change remaining timers to legacy_timer_tick m68k: m68328: use legacy_timer_tick() m68k: sun3/sun3c: use legacy_timer_tick m68k: split heartbeat out of timer function m68k: coldfire: use legacy_timer_tick() parisc: use legacy_timer_tick ARM: rpc: use legacy_timer_tick ia64: convert to legacy_timer_tick timekeeping: add CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK timekeeping: remove arch_gettimeoffset net: remove am79c961a driver ARM: remove ebsa110 platform

ring-buffer: Add test to validate the time stamp deltas

2020-12-02T03:00:46Z

While debugging a situation where a delta for an event was calucalted wrong, I realize there was nothing making sure that the delta of events are correct. If a single event has an incorrect delta, then all events after it will also have one. If the discrepency gets large enough, it could cause the time stamps to go backwards when crossing sub buffers, that record a full 64 bit time stamp, and the new deltas are added to that. Add a way to validate the events at most events and when crossing a buffer page. This will help make sure that the deltas are always correct. This test will detect if they are ever corrupted. The test adds a high overhead to the ring buffer recording, as it does the audit for almost every event, and should only be used for testing the ring buffer. This will catch the bug that is fixed by commit 55ea4cf40380 ("ring-buffer: Update write stamp with the correct ts"), which is not applied when this commit is applied.

ftrace/x86: Allow for arguments to be passed in to ftrace_regs by default

2020-11-13T17:14:59Z

Currently, the only way to get access to the registers of a function via a ftrace callback is to set the "FL_SAVE_REGS" bit in the ftrace_ops. But as this saves all regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger (for use with kprobes), it is expensive. The regs are already saved on the stack for the default ftrace callbacks, as that is required otherwise a function being traced will get the wrong arguments and possibly crash. And on x86, the arguments are already stored where they would be on a pt_regs structure to use that code for both the regs version of a callback, it makes sense to pass that information always to all functions. If an architecture does this (as x86_64 now does), it is to set HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and this will let the generic code that it could have access to arguments without having to set the flags. This also includes having the stack pointer being saved, which could be used for accessing arguments on the stack, as well as having the function graph tracer not require its own trampoline!
