tracing/histogram: Fix sorting on old "cpu" value

2022-03-02T03:48:30Z

When trying to add a histogram against an event with the "cpu" field, it was impossible due to "cpu" being a keyword to key off of the running CPU. So to fix this, it was changed to "common_cpu" to match the other generic fields (like "common_pid"). But since some scripts used "cpu" for keying off of the CPU (for events that did not have "cpu" as a field, which is most of them), a backward compatibility trick was added such that if "cpu" was used as a key, and the event did not have "cpu" as a field name, then it would fallback and switch over to "common_cpu". This fix has a couple of subtle bugs. One was that when switching over to "common_cpu", it did not change the field name, it just set a flag. But the code still found a "cpu" field. The "cpu" field is used for filtering and is returned when the event does not have a "cpu" field. This was found by: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo hist:key=cpu,pid:sort=cpu > events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger # cat events/sched/sched_wakeup/hist Which showed the histogram unsorted: { cpu: 19, pid: 1175 } hitcount: 1 { cpu: 6, pid: 239 } hitcount: 2 { cpu: 23, pid: 1186 } hitcount: 14 { cpu: 12, pid: 249 } hitcount: 2 { cpu: 3, pid: 994 } hitcount: 5 Instead of hard coding the "cpu" checks, take advantage of the fact that trace_event_field_field() returns a special field for "cpu" and "CPU" if the event does not have "cpu" as a field. This special field has the "filter_type" of "FILTER_CPU". Check that to test if the returned field is of the CPU type instead of doing the string compare. Also, fix the sorting bug by testing for the hist_field flag of HIST_FIELD_FL_CPU when setting up the sort routine. Otherwise it will use the special CPU field to know what compare routine to use, and since that special field does not have a size, it returns tracing_map_cmp_none.

tracing: Propagate is_signed to expression

2022-01-28T00:15:49Z

During expression parsing, a new expression field is created which should inherit the properties of the operands, such as size and is_signed. is_signed propagation was missing, causing spurious errors with signed operands. Add it in parse_expr() and parse_unary() to fix the problem.

tracing: Fix smatch warning for do while check in event_hist_trigger_parse()

2022-01-28T00:15:48Z

The patch ec5ce0987541: "tracing: Allow whitespace to surround hist trigger filter" from Jan 15, 2018, leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:6199 event_hist_trigger_parse() warn: 'p' can't be NULL. Since p is always checked for a NULL value at the top of loop and nothing in the rest of the loop will set it to NULL, the warning is correct and might as well be 1 to silence the warning.

tracing: Fix smatch warning for null glob in event_hist_trigger_parse()

2022-01-28T00:15:47Z

The recent rename of event_hist_trigger_parse() caused smatch re-evaluation of trace_events_hist.c and as a result an old warning was found: kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:6174 event_hist_trigger_parse() error: we previously assumed 'glob' could be null (see line 6166) glob should never be null (and apparently smatch can also figure that out and skip the warning when using the cross-function DB (but which can't be used with a 0day build as it takes too much time to generate)). Nonetheless for clarity, remove the test but add a WARN_ON() in case the code ever changes.

tracing/histogram: Fix a potential memory leak for kstrdup()

2022-01-28T00:15:44Z

kfree() is missing on an error path to free the memory allocated by kstrdup(): p = param = kstrdup(data->params[i], GFP_KERNEL); So it is better to free it via kfree(p).

tracing: Remove ops param from event_command reg()/unreg() callbacks

The event_trigger_ops for an event_command are already accessible via event_trigger_data.ops so remove the redundant ops from the callback.

tracing: Change event_trigger_ops func() to trigger()

2022-01-10T16:09:10Z

The name of the func() callback on event_trigger_ops is too generic and is easily confused with other callbacks with that name, so change it to something that reflects its actual purpose. In this case, the main purpose of the callback is to implement an event trigger, so call it trigger() instead. Also add some more documentation to event_trigger_ops describing the callbacks a bit better.

tracing: Support __rel_loc relative dynamic data location attribute

2021-12-06T20:37:21Z

Add '__rel_loc' new dynamic data location attribute which encodes the data location from the next to the field itself. The '__data_loc' is used for encoding the dynamic data location on the trace event record. But '__data_loc' is not useful if the writer doesn't know the event header (e.g. user event), because it records the dynamic data offset from the entry of the record, not the field itself. This new '__rel_loc' attribute encodes the data location relatively from the next of the field. For example, when there is a record like below (the number in the parentheses is the size of fields) |header(N)|common(M)|fields(K)|__data_loc(4)|fields(L)|data(G)| In this case, '__data_loc' field will be __data_loc = (G << 16) | (N+M+K+4+L) If '__rel_loc' is used, this will be |header(N)|common(M)|fields(K)|__rel_loc(4)|fields(L)|data(G)| where __rel_loc = (G << 16) | (L) This case shows L bytes after the '__rel_loc' attribute field, if there is no fields after the __rel_loc field, L must be 0. This is relatively easy (and no need to consider the kernel header change) when the event data fields are composed by user who doesn't know header and common fields.

tracing/histograms: String compares should not care about signed values

2021-12-02T02:04:22Z

When comparing two strings for the "onmatch" histogram trigger, fields that are strings use string comparisons, which do not care about being signed or not. Do not fail to match two string fields if one is unsigned char array and the other is a signed char array.
