git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt: - Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types No functional changes, only less code duplication. - Add Hybrid Automata model class Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation scripts. - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an example of automaton working with real time variables. - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify. - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline monitors. - Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and exporting helpers. - Add nomiss deadline monitor Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete before their deadline. - Improve rvgen error handling Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones. - Improve python code quality in rvgen Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of __len__(), remove semicolons, use context managers for file operations, fix whitespace violations, extract magic strings into constants, remove unused imports and methods. - Fix small bugs in rvgen The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error in validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance() check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations and typos in comments. - rvgen refactoring Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle required arguments directly in argparse. - Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the sleep monitor as a valid sleep method. * tag 'trace-rv-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (32 commits) rv: Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor rv/rvgen: fix _fill_states() return type annotation rv/rvgen: fix unbound loop variable warning rv/rvgen: enforce presence of initial state rv/rvgen: extract node marker string to class constant rv/rvgen: fix isinstance check in Variable.expand() rv/rvgen: make monitor arguments required in rvgen rv/rvgen: remove unused __get_main_name method rv/rvgen: remove unused sys import from dot2c rv/rvgen: refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing rv/rvgen: use class constant for init marker rv/rvgen: fix DOT file validation logic error rv/rvgen: fix PEP 8 whitespace violations rv/rvgen: fix typos in automata and generator docstring and comments rv/rvgen: use context managers for file operations rv/rvgen: remove unnecessary semicolons rv/rvgen: replace __len__() calls with len() rv/rvgen: replace % string formatting with f-strings rv/rvgen: remove bare except clauses in generator rv/rvgen: introduce AutomataError exception class ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add remote buffers for pKVM pKVM has a hypervisor component that is used to protect the guest from the host kernel. This hypervisor is a black box to the kernel as the kernel is to user space. The remote buffers are used to have a memory mapping between the hypervisor and the kernel where kernel may send commands to enable tracing within the hypervisor. Then the kernel will read this memory mapping just like user space can read the memory mapped ring buffer of the kernel tracing system. Since the hypervisor only has a single context, it doesn't need to worry about races between normal context, interrupt context and NMIs like the kernel does. The ring buffer it uses doesn't need to be as complex. The remote buffers are a simple version of the ring buffer that works in a single context. They are still per-CPU and use sub buffers. The data layout is the same as the kernel's ring buffer to share the same parsing. Currently, only ARM64 implements pKVM, but there's work to implement it also in x86. The remote buffer code is separated out from the ARM implementation so that it can be used in the future by x86. The ARM64 updates for pKVM is in the ARM/KVM tree and it merged in the remote buffers of this tree. - Make the backup instance non reusable The backup instance is a copy of the persistent ring buffer so that the persistent ring buffer could start recording again without using the data from the previous boot. The backup isn't for normal tracing. It is made read-only, and after it is consumed, it is automatically removed. - Have backup copy persistent instance before it starts recording To allow the persistent ring buffer to start recording from the kernel command line commands, move the copy of the backup instance to before the the command line options start recording. - Report header_page overwrite field as "char" and not "int' The rust parser of the header_page file was triggering a warning when it defined the overwrite variable as "int" but it was only a single byte in size. - Fix memory barriers for the trace_buffer CPU mask When a CPU comes online, the bit is set to allow readers to know that the CPU buffer is allocated. The bit is set after the allocation is done, and a smp_wmb() is performed after the allocation and before the setting of the bit. But instead of adding a smp_rmb() to all readers, since once a buffer is created for a CPU it is not deleted if that CPU goes offline, so this allocation is almost always done at boot up before any readers exist. If for the unlikely case where a CPU comes online for the first time after the system boot has finished, send an IPI to all CPUs to force the smp_rmb() for each CPU. - Show clock function being used in debugging ring buffer data When the ring buffer checks are enabled and the ring buffer detects an inconsistency in the times of the invents, print out the clock being used when the error occurred. There was a very hard to hit bug that would happen every so often and it ended up being only triggered when the jiffies clock was being used. If the bug showed the clock being used, it would have been much easier to find the problem (which was an internal function was being traced which caused the clock accounting to go off). * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) ring-buffer: Prevent off-by-one array access in ring_buffer_desc_page() ring-buffer: Report header_page overwrite as char tracing: Allow backup to save persistent ring buffer before it starts tracing/Documentation: Add a section about backup instance tracing: Remove the backup instance automatically after read tracing: Make the backup instance non-reusable ring-buffer: Enforce read ordering of trace_buffer cpumask and buffers ring-buffer: Show what clock function is used on timestamp errors tracing: Check for undefined symbols in simple_ring_buffer tracing: load/unload page callbacks for simple_ring_buffer Documentation: tracing: Add tracing remotes tracing: selftests: Add trace remote tests tracing: Add a trace remote module for testing tracing: Introduce simple_ring_buffer ring-buffer: Export buffer_data_page and macros tracing: Add helpers to create trace remote events tracing: Add events/ root files to trace remotes tracing: Add events to trace remotes tracing: Add init callback to trace remotes tracing: Add non-consuming read to trace remotes ...

2026-04-09tracing: Documentation: Update histogram-design.rst for fn() handlingSteven Rostedt-7/+13
The histogram documentation describes the old method of the histogram triggers using the fn() field of the histogram field structure to process the field. But due to Spectre mitigation, the function pointer to handle the fields at runtime caused a noticeable overhead. It was converted over to a fn_num and hist_fn_call() is now used to call the specific functions for the fields via a switch statement based on the field's fn_num value. Update the documentation to reflect this change.

2026-03-31rv: Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automatonGabriele Monaco-48/+14
The opid monitor validates that wakeup and need_resched events only occur with interrupts and preemption disabled by following the preemptirq tracepoints. As reported in [1], those tracepoints might be inaccurate in some situations (e.g. NMIs). Since the monitor doesn't validate other ordering properties, remove the dependency on preemptirq tracepoints and convert the monitor to a hybrid automaton to validate the constraint during event handling. This makes the monitor more robust by also removing the workaround for interrupts missing the preemption tracepoints, which was working on PREEMPT_RT only and allows the monitor to be built on kernels without the preemptirqs tracepoints.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "User visible changes: - Add an entry into MAINTAINERS file for RUST versions of code There's now RUST code for tracing and static branches. To differentiate that code from the C code, add entries in for the RUST version (with "[RUST]" around it) so that the right maintainers get notified on changes. - New bitmask-list option added to tracefs When this is set, bitmasks in trace event are not displayed as hex numbers, but instead as lists: e.g. 0-5,7,9 instead of 0000015f - New show_event_filters file in tracefs Instead of having to search all events/*/*/filter for any active filters enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_filters will list them so that there's only one file that needs to be examined to see if any filters are active. - New show_event_triggers file in tracefs Instead of having to search all events/*/*/trigger for any active triggers enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_triggers will list them so that there's only one file that needs to be examined to see if any triggers are active. - Have traceoff_on_warning disable trace pintk buffer too Recently recording of trace_printk() could go to other trace instances instead of the top level instance. But if traceoff_on_warning triggers, it doesn't stop the buffer with trace_printk() and that data can easily be lost by being overwritten. Have traceoff_on_warning also disable the instance that has trace_printk() being written to it. - Update the hist_debug file to show what function the field uses When CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled, a hist_debug file exists for every event. This displays the internal data of any histogram enabled for that event. But it is lacking the function that is called to process one of its fields. This is very useful information that was missing when debugging histograms. - Up the histogram stack size from 16 to 31 Stack traces can be used as keys for event histograms. Currently the size of the stack that is stored is limited to just 16 entries. But the storage space in the histogram is 256 bytes, meaning that it can store up to 31 entries (plus one for the count of entries). Instead of letting that space go to waste, up the limit from 16 to 31. This makes the keys much more useful. - Fix permissions of per CPU file buffer_size_kb The per CPU file of buffer_size_kb was incorrectly set to read only in a previous cleanup. It should be writable. - Reset "last_boot_info" if the persistent buffer is cleared The last_boot_info shows address information of a persistent ring buffer if it contains data from a previous boot. It is cleared when recording starts again, but it is not cleared when the buffer is reset. The data is useless after a reset so clear it on reset too. Internal changes: - A change was made to allow tracepoint callbacks to have preemption enabled, and instead be protected by SRCU. This required some updates to the callbacks for perf and BPF. perf needed to disable preemption directly in its callback because it expects preemption disabled in the later code. BPF needed to disable migration, as its code expects to run completely on the same CPU. - Have irq_work wake up other CPU if current CPU is "isolated" When there's a waiter waiting on ring buffer data and a new event happens, an irq work is triggered to wake up that waiter. This is noisy on isolated CPUs (running NO_HZ_FULL). Trigger an IPI to a house keeping CPU instead. - Use proper free of trigger_data instead of open coding it in. - Remove redundant call of event_trigger_reset_filter() It was called immediately in a function that was called right after it. - Workqueue cleanups - Report errors if tracing_update_buffers() were to fail. - Make the enum update workqueue generic for other parts of tracing On boot up, a work queue is created to convert enum names into their numbers in the trace event format files. This work queue can also be used for other aspects of tracing that takes some time and shouldn't be called by the init call code. The blk_trace initialization takes a bit of time. Have the initialization code moved to the new tracing generic work queue function. - Skip kprobe boot event creation call if there's no kprobes defined on cmdline The kprobe initialization to set up kprobes if they are defined on the cmdline requires taking the event_mutex lock. This can be held by other tracing code doing initialization for a long time. Since kprobes added to the kernel command line need to be setup immediately, as they may be tracing early initialization code, they cannot be postponed in a work queue and must be setup in the initcall code. If there's no kprobe on the kernel cmdline, there's no reason to take the mutex and slow down the boot up code waiting to get the lock only to find out there's nothing to do. Simply exit out early if there's no kprobes on the kernel cmdline. If there are kprobes on the cmdline, then someone cares more about tracing over the speed of boot up. - Clean up the trigger code a bit - Move code out of trace.c and into their own files trace.c is now over 11,000 lines of code and has become more difficult to maintain. Start splitting it up so that related code is in their own files. Move all the trace_printk() related code into trace_printk.c. Move the __always_inline stack functions into trace.h. Move the pid filtering code into a new trace_pid.c file. - Better define the max latency and snapshot code The latency tracers have a "max latency" buffer that is a copy of the main buffer and gets swapped with it when a new high latency is detected. This keeps the trace up to the highest latency around where this max_latency buffer is never written to. It is only used to save the last max latency trace. A while ago a snapshot feature was added to tracefs to allow user space to perform the same logic. It could also enable events to trigger a "snapshot" if one of their fields hit a new high. This was built on top of the latency max_latency buffer logic. Because snapshots came later, they were dependent on the latency tracers to be enabled. In reality, the latency tracers depend on the snapshot code and not the other way around. It was just that they came first. Restructure the code and the kconfigs to have the latency tracers depend on snapshot code instead. This actually simplifies the logic a bit and allows to disable more when the latency tracers are not defined and the snapshot code is. - Fix a "false sharing" in the hwlat tracer code The loop to search for latency in hardware was using a variable that could be changed by user space for each sample. If the user change this variable, it could cause a bus contention, and reading that variable can show up as a large latency in the trace causing a false positive. Read this variable at the start of the sample with a READ_ONCE() into a local variable and keep the code from sharing cache lines with readers. - Fix function graph tracer static branch optimization code When only one tracer is defined for function graph tracing, it uses a static branch to call that tracer directly. When another tracer is added, it goes into loop logic to call all the registered callbacks. The code was incorrect when going back to one tracer and never re-enabled the static branch again to do the optimization code. - And other small fixes and cleanups" * tag 'trace-v7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (46 commits) function_graph: Restore direct mode when callbacks drop to one tracing: Fix indentation of return statement in print_trace_fmt() tracing: Reset last_boot_info if ring buffer is reset tracing: Fix to set write permission to per-cpu buffer_size_kb tracing: Fix false sharing in hwlat get_sample() tracing: Move d_max_latency out of CONFIG_FSNOTIFY protection tracing: Better separate SNAPSHOT and MAX_TRACE options tracing: Add tracer_uses_snapshot() helper to remove #ifdefs tracing: Rename trace_array field max_buffer to snapshot_buffer tracing: Move pid filtering into trace_pid.c tracing: Move trace_printk functions out of trace.c and into trace_printk.c tracing: Use system_state in trace_printk_init_buffers() tracing: Have trace_printk functions use flags instead of using global_trace tracing: Make tracing_update_buffers() take NULL for global_trace tracing: Make printk_trace global for tracing system tracing: Move ftrace_trace_stack() out of trace.c and into trace.h tracing: Move __trace_buffer_{un}lock_*() functions to trace.h tracing: Make tracing_selftest_running global to the tracing subsystem tracing: Make tracing_disabled global for tracing system tracing: Clean up use of trace_create_maxlat_file() ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull runtime verifier updates from Steven Rostedt: - Refactor da_monitor to minimize macros Complete refactor of da_monitor.h to reduce reliance on macros generating functions. Use generic static functions and uses the preprocessor only when strictly necessary (e.g. for tracepoint handlers). The change essentially relies on functions with generic names (e.g. da_handle) instead of monitor-specific as well adding the need to define constant (e.g. MONITOR_NAME, MONITOR_TYPE) before including the header rather than calling macros that would define functions. Also adapt monitors and documentation accordingly. - Cleanup DA code generation scripts Clean up functions in dot2c removing reimplementations of trivial library functions (__buff_to_string) and removing some other unused intermediate steps. - Annotate functions with types in the rvgen python scripts - Remove superfluous assignments and cleanup generated code The rvgen scripts generate a superfluous assignment to 0 for enum variables and don't add commas to the last elements, which is against the kernel coding standards. Change the generation process for a better compliance and slightly simpler logic. - Remove superfluous declarations from generated code The monitor container source files contained a declaration and a definition for the rv_monitor variable.

2026-01-26tracing: Add show_event_triggers to expose active event triggersAaron Tomlin-0/+8
To audit active event triggers, userspace currently must traverse the events/ directory and read each individual trigger file. This is cumbersome for system-wide auditing or debugging. Introduce "show_event_triggers" at the trace root directory. This file displays all events that currently have one or more triggers applied, alongside the trigger configuration, in a consolidated system:event [tab] trigger format. The implementation leverages the existing trace_event_file iterators and uses the trigger's own print() operation to ensure output consistency with the per-event trigger files.

Add support for displaying bitmasks in human-readable list format (e.g., 0,2-5,7) in addition to the default hexadecimal bitmap representation. This is particularly useful when tracing CPU masks and other large bitmasks where individual bit positions are more meaningful than their hexadecimal encoding. When the "bitmask-list" option is enabled, the printk "%*pbl" format specifier is used to render bitmasks as comma-separated ranges, making trace output easier to interpret for complex CPU configurations and large bitmask values.

2026-01-23Documentation: use a source-read extension for the index link boilerplateJani Nikula-7/+0
The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't. For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst, but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a ".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html builds. This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the root document. Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py. For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Extend tracing option mask to 64 bits The trace options were defined by a 32 bit variable. This limits the tracing instances to have a total of 32 different options. As that limit has been hit, and more options are being added, increase the option mask to a 64 bit number, doubling the number of options available. As this is required for the kprobe topic branches as well as the tracing topic branch, a separate branch was created and merged into both. - Make trace_user_fault_read() available for the rest of tracing The function trace_user_fault_read() is used by trace_marker file read to allow reading user space to be done fast and without locking or allocations. Make this available so that the system call trace events can use it too. - Have system call trace events read user space values Now that the system call trace events callbacks are called in a faultable context, take advantage of this and read the user space buffers for various system calls. For example, show the path name of the openat system call instead of just showing the pointer to that path name in user space. Also show the contents of the buffer of the write system call. Several system call trace events are updated to make tracing into a light weight strace tool for all applications in the system. - Update perf system call tracing to do the same - And a config and syscall_user_buf_size file to control the size of the buffer Limit the amount of data that can be read from user space. The default size is 63 bytes but that can be expanded to 165 bytes. - Allow the persistent ring buffer to print system calls normally The persistent ring buffer prints trace events by their type and ignores the print_fmt. This is because the print_fmt may change from kernel to kernel. As the system call output is fixed by the system call ABI itself, there's no reason to limit that. This makes reading the system call events in the persistent ring buffer much nicer and easier to understand. - Add options to show text offset to function profiler The function profiler that counts the number of times a function is hit currently lists all functions by its name and offset. But this becomes ambiguous when there are several functions with the same name. Add a tracing option that changes the output to be that of '_text+offset' instead. Now a user space tool can use this information to map the '_text+offset' to the unique function it is counting. - Report bad dynamic event command If a bad command is passed to the dynamic_events file, report it properly in the error log. - Clean up tracer options Clean up the tracer option code a bit, by removing some useless code and also using switch statements instead of a series of if statements. - Have tracing options be instance specific Tracers can have their own options (function tracer, irqsoff tracer, function graph tracer, etc). But now that the same tracer can be enabled in multiple trace instances, their options are still global. The API is per instance, thus changing one affects other instances. This isn't even consistent, as the option take affect differently depending on when an tracer started in an instance. Make the options for instances only affect the instance it is changed under. - Optimize pid_list lock contention Whenever the pid_list is read, it uses a spin lock. This happens at every sched switch. Taking the lock at sched switch can be removed by instead using a seqlock counter. - Clean up the trace trigger structures The trigger code uses two different structures to implement a single tigger. This was due to trying to reuse code for the two different types of triggers (always on trigger, and count limited trigger). But by adding a single field to one structure, the other structure could be absorbed into the first structure making he code easier to understand. - Create a bulk garbage collector for trace triggers If user space has triggers for several hundreds of events and then removes them, it can take several seconds to complete. This is because each removal calls tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() that can take hundreds of milliseconds to complete. Instead, create a helper thread that will do the clean up. When a trigger is removed, it will create the kthread if it isn't already created, and then add the trigger to a llist. The kthread will take the items off the llist, call tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(), and then remove the items it took off. It will then check if there's more items to free before sleeping. This makes user space removing all these triggers to finish in less than a second. - Allow function tracing of some of the tracing infrastructure code Because the tracing code can cause recursion issues if it is traced by the function tracer the entire tracing directory disables function tracing. But not all of tracing causes issues if it is traced. Namely, the event tracing code. Add a config that enables some of the tracing code to be traced to help in debugging it. Note, when this is enabled, it does add noise to general function tracing, especially if events are enabled as well (which is a common case). - Add boot-time backup instance for persistent buffer The persistent ring buffer is used mostly for kernel crash analysis in the field. One issue is that if there's a crash, the data in the persistent ring buffer must be read before tracing can begin using it. This slows down the boot process. Once tracing starts in the persistent ring buffer, the old data must be freed and the addresses no longer match and old events can't be in the buffer with new events. Create a way to create a backup buffer that copies the persistent ring buffer at boot up. Then after a crash, the always on tracer can begin immediately as well as the normal boot process while the crash analysis tooling uses the backup buffer. After the backup buffer is finished being read, it can be removed. - Enable function graph args and return address options at the same time Currently the when reading of arguments in the function graph tracer is enabled, the option to record the parent function in the entry event can not be enabled. Update the code so that it can. - Add new struct_offset() helper macro Add a new macro that takes a pointer to a structure and a name of one of its members and it will return the offset of that member. This allows the ring buffer code to simplify the following: From: size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id)); To: size = struct_offset(entry, id) + cnt; There should be other simplifications that this macro can help out with as well * tag 'trace-v6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (42 commits) overflow: Introduce struct_offset() to get offset of member function_graph: Enable funcgraph-args and funcgraph-retaddr to work simultaneously tracing: Add boot-time backup of persistent ring buffer ftrace: Allow tracing of some of the tracing code tracing: Use strim() in trigger_process_regex() instead of skip_spaces() tracing: Add bulk garbage collection of freeing event_trigger_data tracing: Remove unneeded event_mutex lock in event_trigger_regex_release() tracing: Merge struct event_trigger_ops into struct event_command tracing: Remove get_trigger_ops() and add count_func() from trigger ops tracing: Show the tracer options in boot-time created instance ftrace: Avoid redundant initialization in register_ftrace_direct tracing: Remove unused variable in tracing_trace_options_show() fgraph: Make fgraph_no_sleep_time signed tracing: Convert function graph set_flags() to use a switch() statement tracing: Have function graph tracer option sleep-time be per instance tracing: Move graph-time out of function graph options tracing: Have function graph tracer option funcgraph-irqs be per instance trace/pid_list: optimize pid_list->lock contention tracing: Have function graph tracer define options per instance tracing: Have function tracer define options per instance ...

The config also is used to limit how much perf can read from user space. Also lower the max down to 165, as this isn't to record everything that a system call may be passing through to the kernel. 165 is more than enough. The reason for 165 is because adding one for the nul terminating byte, as well as possibly needing to append the "..." string turns it into 170 bytes. As this needs to save up to 3 arguments and 3 * 170 is 510 which fits nicely in 512 bytes (a power of 2).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing When tracefs was first introduced back in 2014, the directory /sys/kernel/tracing was added and is the designated location to mount tracefs. To keep backward compatibility, tracefs was auto-mounted in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing as well. All distros now mount tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing. Having it seen in two different locations has lead to various issues and inconsistencies. The VFS folks have to also maintain debugfs_create_automount() for this single user. It's been over 10 years. Tooling and scripts should start replacing the debugfs location with the tracefs one. The reason tracefs was created in the first place was to allow access to the tracing facilities without the need to configure debugfs into the kernel. Using tracefs should now be more robust. A new config is created: CONFIG_TRACEFS_AUTOMOUNT_DEPRECATED which is default y, so that the kernel is still built with the automount. This config allows those that want to remove the automount from debugfs to do so. When tracefs is accessed from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, the following printk is triggerd: pr_warn("NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030\n"); This gives users another 5 years to fix their scripts. - Use queue_rcu_work() instead of call_rcu() for freeing event filters The number of filters to be free can be many depending on the number of events within an event system. Freeing them from softirq context can potentially cause undesired latency. Use the RCU workqueue to free them instead. - Remove pointless memory barriers in latency code Memory barriers were added to some of the latency code a long time ago with the idea of "making them visible", but that's not what memory barriers are for. They are to synchronize access between different variables. There was no synchronization here making them pointless. - Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format When LLVM is used to compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, some of the format fields get expanded with the following: field:const char * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0; Turns into: field:const char __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0; This confuses parsers. Add code to strip these tags from the strings. - Add eprobe config option CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS Eprobes were added back in 5.15 but were only enabled when another probe was enabled (kprobe, fprobe, uprobe, etc). The eprobes had no config option of their own. Add one as they should be a separate entity. It's default y to keep with the old kernels but still has dependencies on TRACING and HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API. - Add eprobe documentation When eprobes were added back in 5.15 no documentation was added to describe them. This needs to be rectified. - Replace open coded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu() - Have preemptirq_delay_run() use off-stack CPU mask - Remove obsolete comment about pelt_cfs event DECLARE_TRACE() appends "_tp" to trace events now, but the comment above pelt_cfs still mentioned appending it manually. - Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag The SOFT_MODE flag was required when the soft enabling and disabling of trace events was first introduced. But there was a bug with this approach as it only worked for a single instance. When multiple users required soft disabling and disabling the code was changed to have a ref count. The SOFT_MODE flag is now set iff the ref count is non zero. This is redundant and just reading the ref count is good enough. - Fix typo in comment * tag 'trace-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: Documentation: tracing: Add documentation about eprobes tracing: Have eprobes have their own config option tracing: Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format tracing: Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs in debugfs tracing: Fix comment in trace_module_remove_events() tracing: Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag tracing: Remove pointless memory barriers tracing/sched: Remove obsolete comment on suffixes kernel: trace: preemptirq_delay_test: use offstack cpu mask tracing: Use queue_rcu_work() to free filters tracing: Replace opencoded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu()

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added Linear temporal logic monitors for RT application Real-time applications may have design flaws causing them to have unexpected latency. For example, the applications may raise page faults, or may be blocked trying to take a mutex without priority inheritance. However, while attempting to implement DA monitors for these real-time rules, deterministic automaton is found to be inappropriate as the specification language. The automaton is complicated, hard to understand, and error-prone. For these cases, linear temporal logic is found to be more suitable. The LTL is more concise and intuitive. - Make printk_deferred() public The new monitors needed access to printk_deferred(). Make them visible for the entire kernel. - Add a vpanic() to allow for va_list to be passed to panic. - Add rtapp container monitor. A collection of monitors that check for common problems with real-time applications that cause unexpected latency. - Add page fault tracepoints to risc-v These tracepoints are necessary to for the RV monitor to run on risc-v. - Fix the behaviour of the rv tool with -s and idle tasks. - Allow the rv tool to gracefully terminate with SIGTERM - Adjusts dot2c not to create lines over 100 columns - Properly order nested monitors in the RV Kconfig file - Return the registration error in all DA monitor instead of 0 - Update and add new sched collection monitors Replace tss and sncid monitors with more complete sts: Not only prove that switches occur in scheduling context and scheduling needs interrupt disabled but also that each call to the scheduler disables interrupts to (optionally) switch.

2025-07-22tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORDSteven Rostedt-8/+4
Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other architectures can still function until they too have been updated. The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where applicable.
