tracing: samples: Initialize trace_array_printk() with the correct function

2025-05-12T17:07:22Z

When using trace_array_printk() on a created instance, the correct function to use to initialize it is: trace_array_init_printk() Not trace_printk_init_buffer() The former is a proper function to use, the latter is for initializing trace_printk() and causes the NOTICE banner to be displayed.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix build error when CONFIG_PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS is not enabled The tracing of arguments in the function tracer depends on some functions that are only defined when PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS is enabled. In fact, PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS also depends on all the same configs as the function argument tracing requires. Just have the function argument tracing depend on PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS. - Free module_delta for persistent ring buffer instance When an instance holds the persistent ring buffer, it allocates a helper array to hold the deltas between where modules are loaded on the last boot and the current boot. This array needs to be freed when the instance is freed. - Add cond_resched() to loop in ftrace_graph_set_hash() The hash functions in ftrace loop over every function that can be enabled by ftrace. This can be 50,000 functions or more. This loop is known to trigger soft lockup warnings and requires a cond_resched(). The loop in ftrace_graph_set_hash() was missing it. - Fix the event format verifier to include "%*p.." arguments To prevent events from dereferencing stale pointers that can happen if a trace event uses a dereferece pointer to something that was not copied into the ring buffer and can be freed by the time the trace is read, a verifier is called. At boot or module load, the verifier scans the print format string for pointers that can be dereferenced and it checks the arguments to make sure they do not contain something that can be freed. The "%*p" was not handled, which would add another argument and cause the verifier to not only not verify this pointer, but it will look at the wrong argument for every pointer after that. - Fix mcount sorttable building for different endian type target When modifying the ELF file to sort the mcount_loc table in the sorttable.c code, the endianess of the file and the host is used to determine if the bytes need to be swapped when calculations are done. A change was made to the sorting of the mcount_loc that read the values from the ELF file into an array and the swap happened on the filling of the array. But one of the calculations of the array still did the swap when it did not need to. This caused building on a little endian machine for a big endian target to not find the mcount function in the 'nm' table and it zeroed it out, causing there to be no functions available to trace. - Add goto out_unlock jump to rv_register_monitor() on error path One of the error paths in rv_register_monitor() just returned the error when it should have jumped to the out_unlock label to release the mutex. * tag 'trace-v6.15-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: rv: Fix missing unlock on double nested monitors return path scripts/sorttable: Fix endianness handling in build-time mcount sort tracing: Verify event formats that have "%*p.." ftrace: Add cond_resched() to ftrace_graph_set_hash() tracing: Free module_delta on freeing of persistent ring buffer ftrace: Have tracing function args depend on PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS

tracing: Verify event formats that have "%*p.."

2025-04-02T13:51:26Z

The trace event verifier checks the formats of trace events to make sure that they do not point at memory that is not in the trace event itself or in data that will never be freed. If an event references data that was allocated when the event triggered and that same data is freed before the event is read, then the kernel can crash by reading freed memory. The verifier runs at boot up (or module load) and scans the print formats of the events and checks their arguments to make sure that dereferenced pointers are safe. If the format uses "%*p.." the verifier will ignore it, and that could be dangerous. Cover this case as well. Also add to the sample code a use case of "%*pbl".

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page initialization. - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page balancing code. - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and reject filters.
