ftrace: Return the first found result in lookup_rec()

2020-03-11T14:37:12Z

It appears that ip ranges can overlap so. In that case lookup_rec() returns whatever results it got last even if it found nothing in last searched page. This breaks an obscure livepatch late module patching usecase: - load livepatch - load the patched module - unload livepatch - try to load livepatch again To fix this return from lookup_rec() as soon as it found the record containing searched-for ip. This used to be this way prior lookup_rec() introduction.

ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync

2020-02-05T22:16:42Z

As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.

ftrace: fpid_next() should increase position index

2020-01-30T14:46:27Z

if seq_file .next fuction does not change position index, read after some lseek can generate unexpected output. Without patch: # dd bs=4 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid: cannot skip to specified offset id no pid 2+1 records in 2+1 records out 10 bytes copied, 0.000213285 s, 46.9 kB/s Notice the "id" followed by "no pid". With the patch: # dd bs=4 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_pid: cannot skip to specified offset id 0+1 records in 0+1 records out 3 bytes copied, 0.000202112 s, 14.8 kB/s Notice that it only prints "id" and not the "no pid" afterward.

tracing: Use pr_err() instead of WARN() for memory failures

2020-01-25T15:52:30Z

As warnings can trigger panics, especially when "panic_on_warn" is set, memory failure warnings can cause panics and fail fuzz testers that are stressing memory. Create a MEM_FAIL() macro to use instead of WARN() in the tracing code (perhaps this should be a kernel wide macro?), and use that for memory failure issues. This should stop failing fuzz tests due to warnings.

tracing: Rename trace_buffer to array_buffer

2020-01-13T18:19:38Z

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer. As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

ftrace: Avoid potential division by zero in function profiler

2020-01-03T03:14:57Z

The ftrace_profile->counter is unsigned long and do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test non-zero and be truncated to zero for division. Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.
