tracing: Add locked_down checks to the open calls of files created for tracefs

2019-10-13T00:48:06Z

Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown mode, and if so, to return -EPERM. Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines) as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been modified.

tracing/probe: Fix same probe event argument matching

2019-09-25T10:34:06Z

Commit fe60b0ce8e73 ("tracing/probe: Reject exactly same probe event") tries to reject a event which matches an already existing probe. However it currently continues to match arguments and rejects adding a probe even when the arguments don't match. Fix this by only rejecting a probe if and only if all the arguments match.

tracing/probe: Reject exactly same probe event

2019-09-19T15:09:16Z

Reject exactly same probe events as existing probes. Multiprobe allows user to define multiple probes on same event. If user appends a probe which exactly same definition (same probe address and same arguments) on existing event, the event will record same probe information twice. That can be confusing users, so reject it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/156879694602.31056.5533024778165036763.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing/probe: Add immediate string parameter support

2019-08-31T16:19:39Z

Add immediate string parameter (\"string") support to probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate (or dummy) parameter instead of fetching a string from memory. This feature looks odd, but imagine that you put a probe on a code to trace some string data. If the code is compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a string on memory but other has no string since it is optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on one event. With this feature, you can set a dummy string like foo=\"(optimized)":string instead of something like foo=+0(+0(%bp)):string.

tracing/uprobe: Add per-probe delete from event

2019-08-31T16:19:39Z

Add per-probe delete method from one event passing the head of definition. In other words, the events which match the head N parameters are deleted.

tracing/uprobe: Add multi-probe per uprobe event support

2019-08-31T16:19:38Z

Allow user to define several probes on one uprobe event. Note that this only support appending method. So deleting event will delete all probes on the event.

tracing/dynevent: Pass extra arguments to match operation

2019-08-31T16:19:38Z

Pass extra arguments to match operation for checking exact match. If the event doesn't support exact match, it will be ignored. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/156095685930.28024.10405547027475590975.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing/probe: Split trace_event related data from trace_probe

2019-08-31T16:19:38Z

Split the trace_event related data from trace_probe data structure and introduce trace_probe_event data structure for its folder. This trace_probe_event data structure can have multiple trace_probe.

tracing/probe: Add trace_event_call accesses APIs

2019-07-16T19:14:47Z

Add trace_event_call access APIs for trace_probe. Instead of accessing trace_probe.call directly, use those accesses by trace_probe_event_call() method. This hides the relationship of trace_event_call and trace_probe from trace_kprobe and trace_uprobe.
