tracing: Fix misspelling of "missing"

2021-10-29T13:54:14Z

My snake instinct was on and I wrote "misssing" instead of "missing". Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

ftrace: Fix kernel-doc formatting issues

2021-10-29T13:52:23Z

Some functions had kernel-doc that used a comma instead of a hash to separate the function name from the one line description. Also, the "ftrace_is_dead()" had an incomplete description. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: Do not warn when connecting eprobe to non existing event

2021-10-28T01:47:55Z

When the syscall trace points are not configured in, the kselftests for ftrace will try to attach an event probe (eprobe) to one of the system call trace points. This triggered a WARNING, because the failure only expects to see memory issues. But this is not the only failure. The user may attempt to attach to a non existent event, and the kernel must not warn about it.

tracing: Have all levels of checks prevent recursion

2021-10-18T22:12:09Z

While writing an email explaining the "bit = 0" logic for a discussion on making ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() disable preemption, I discovered a path that makes the "not do the logic if bit is zero" unsafe. The recursion logic is done in hot paths like the function tracer. Thus, any code executed causes noticeable overhead. Thus, tricks are done to try to limit the amount of code executed. This included the recursion testing logic. Having recursion testing is important, as there are many paths that can end up in an infinite recursion cycle when tracing every function in the kernel. Thus protection is needed to prevent that from happening. Because it is OK to recurse due to different running context levels (e.g. an interrupt preempts a trace, and then a trace occurs in the interrupt handler), a set of bits are used to know which context one is in (normal, softirq, irq and NMI). If a recursion occurs in the same level, it is prevented*. Then there are infrastructure levels of recursion as well. When more than one callback is attached to the same function to trace, it calls a loop function to iterate over all the callbacks. Both the callbacks and the loop function have recursion protection. The callbacks use the "ftrace_test_recursion_trylock()" which has a "function" set of context bits to test, and the loop function calls the internal trace_test_and_set_recursion() directly, with an "internal" set of bits. If an architecture does not implement all the features supported by ftrace then the callbacks are never called directly, and the loop function is called instead, which will implement the features of ftrace. Since both the loop function and the callbacks do recursion protection, it was seemed unnecessary to do it in both locations. Thus, a trick was made to have the internal set of recursion bits at a more significant bit location than the function bits. Then, if any of the higher bits were set, the logic of the function bits could be skipped, as any new recursion would first have to go through the loop function. This is true for architectures that do not support all the ftrace features, because all functions being traced must first go through the loop function before going to the callbacks. But this is not true for architectures that support all the ftrace features. That's because the loop function could be called due to two callbacks attached to the same function, but then a recursion function inside the callback could be called that does not share any other callback, and it will be called directly. i.e. traced_function_1: [ more than one callback tracing it ] call loop_func loop_func: trace_recursion set internal bit call callback callback: trace_recursion [ skipped because internal bit is set, return 0 ] call traced_function_2 traced_function_2: [ only traced by above callback ] call callback callback: trace_recursion [ skipped because internal bit is set, return 0 ] call traced_function_2 [ wash, rinse, repeat, BOOM! out of shampoo! ] Thus, the "bit == 0 skip" trick is not safe, unless the loop function is call for all functions. Since we want to encourage architectures to implement all ftrace features, having them slow down due to this extra logic may encourage the maintainers to update to the latest ftrace features. And because this logic is only safe for them, remove it completely. [*] There is on layer of recursion that is allowed, and that is to allow for the transition between interrupt context (normal -> softirq -> irq -> NMI), because a trace may occur before the context update is visible to the trace recursion logic.

tracing: Fix event probe removal from dynamic events

2021-10-13T23:26:57Z

When an event probe is to be removed via the API that created it via the dynamic events, an -ENOENT error is returned. This is because the removal of the event probe does not expect to see the event system and name that the event probe is attached to, even though that's part of the API to create it. As the removal of probes is to use the same API as they are created. In fact, the removal is not consistent with the kprobes and uprobes removal. Fix that by allowing various ways to remove the eprobe. The eprobe is created with: e:[GROUP/]NAME SYSTEM/EVENT [OPTIONS] Have it get removed by echoing in the following into dynamic_events: # Remove all eprobes with NAME echo '-:NAME' >> dynamic_events # Remove a specific eprobe echo '-:GROUP/NAME' >> dynamic_events echo '-:GROUP/NAME SYSTEM/EVENT' >> dynamic_events echo '-:NAME SYSTEM/EVENT' >> dynamic_events echo '-:GROUP/NAME SYSTEM/EVENT OPTIONS' >> dynamic_events echo '-:NAME SYSTEM/EVENT OPTIONS' >> dynamic_events Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211012081925.0e19cc4f@gandalf.local.home Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211013205533.630722129@goodmis.org Suggested-by: Masami Hiramatsu Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu Fixes: 7491e2c442781 ("tracing: Add a probe that attaches to trace events") Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)
