kprobes: Mark ftrace mcount handler functions nokprobe

ftrace: Allow enabling of filters via index of available_filter_functions

2019-02-15T18:10:09Z

Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer (which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed in. When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit. But this requires passing in half of the functions in available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000 opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes. As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files, instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding line of the available_filter_functions file. That is: # echo 50 > set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter x86_pmu_commit_txn # head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1 x86_pmu_commit_txn This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in less than a second! # time seq 20000 > set_ftrace_filter real 0m0.042s user 0m0.005s sys 0m0.015s # wc -l set_ftrace_filter 20000 set_ftrace_filter Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

2018-12-31T19:46:59Z

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier. - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base. - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more features to the histograms in the future. - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in the future to use str_has_prefix() instead. - A few other various clean ups as well. * tag 'trace-v4.21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (57 commits) tracing: Use the return of str_has_prefix() to remove open coded numbers tracing: Have the historgram use the result of str_has_prefix() for len of prefix tracing: Use str_has_prefix() instead of using fixed sizes tracing: Use str_has_prefix() helper for histogram code string.h: Add str_has_prefix() helper function tracing: Make function ‘ftrace_exports’ static tracing: Simplify printf'ing in seq_print_sym tracing: Avoid -Wformat-nonliteral warning tracing: Merge seq_print_sym_short() and seq_print_sym_offset() tracing: Add hist trigger comments for variable-related fields tracing: Remove hist trigger synth_var_refs tracing: Use hist trigger's var_ref array to destroy var_refs tracing: Remove open-coding of hist trigger var_ref management tracing: Use var_refs[] for hist trigger reference checking tracing: Change strlen to sizeof for hist trigger static strings tracing: Remove unnecessary hist trigger struct field tracing: Fix ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() to use task and not current seq_buf: Use size_t for len in seq_buf_puts() seq_buf: Make seq_buf_puts() null-terminate the buffer arm64: Use ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() instead of curr_ret_stack ...

tracing: Fix memory leak of instance function hash filters

2018-12-11T18:50:28Z

The following commands will cause a memory leak: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # mkdir instances/foo # echo schedule > instance/foo/set_ftrace_filter # rmdir instances/foo The reason is that the hashes that hold the filters to set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace are not freed if they contain any data on the instance and the instance is removed.

ftrace: Allow ftrace_replace_code() to be schedulable

2018-12-10T17:22:45Z

The function ftrace_replace_code() is the ftrace engine that does the work to modify all the nops into the calls to the function callback in all the functions being traced. The generic version which is normally called from stop machine, but an architecture can implement a non stop machine version and still use the generic ftrace_replace_code(). When an architecture does this, ftrace_replace_code() may be called from a schedulable context, where it can allow the code to be preemptible, and schedule out. In order to allow an architecture to make ftrace_replace_code() schedulable, a new command flag is added called: FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP Which can be or'd to the command that is passed to ftrace_modify_all_code() that calls ftrace_replace_code() and will have it call cond_resched() in the loop that modifies the nops into the calls to the ftrace trampolines.

function_graph: Have profiler use new helper ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack()

2018-12-09T01:54:07Z

The ret_stack processing is going to change, and that is going to break anything that is accessing the ret_stack directly. One user is the function graph profiler. By using the ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() helper function, the profiler can access the ret_stack entry without relying on the implementation details of the stack itself.

fgraph: Add new fgraph_ops structure to enable function graph hooks

2018-12-09T01:54:07Z

Currently the registering of function graph is to pass in a entry and return function. We need to have a way to associate those functions together where the entry can determine to run the return hook. Having a structure that contains both functions will facilitate the process of converting the code to be able to do such. This is similar to the way function hooks are enabled (it passes in ftrace_ops). Instead of passing in the functions to use, a single structure is passed in to the registering function. The unregister function is now passed in the fgraph_ops handle. When we allow more than one callback to the function graph hooks, this will let the system know which one to remove.
