If the function profiler does not have any items recorded and one were to cat the function stat file, the kernel would take a BUG with a NULL pointer dereference. Looking further into this, I found that returning NULL from stat_start did not stop the stat logic, and would later call stat_next. This breaks from the way seq_file works, so I looked into fixing the stat code. This is where I noticed that the last next_entry is never freed. It is allocated, and if the stat_next returns NULL, the code breaks out of the loop, unlocks the mutex and exits. We never link the next_entry nor do we free it. Thus it is a real memory leak. This patch rearranges the code a bit to not only fix the memory leak, but also to act more like seq_file where nothing is printed if there is nothing to print. That is, stat_start returns NULL.

commit 40ada30f ("tracing: clean up menu"), despite the "clean up" in its purpose, introduced a behavioural change for Kconfig symbols: we no longer able to select tracing support on PPC32 (because IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT isn't yet implemented). The IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT is not mandatory for most tracers, tracing core has a special case for platforms w/o irqflags (which, by the way, has become useless as of the commit above). Though according to Ingo Molnar, there was periodic build failures on weird, unmaintained architectures that had no irqflags-tracing support and hence didn't know the raw_irqs_save/restore primitives. Thus we'd better not enable irqflags-less tracing for all architectures. This patch restores the old behaviour for PPC32, and thus brings the tracing back. Other architectures can either add themselves to the exception list or (better) implement TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT. Signed-off-by:

Impact: fix a crash with ftrace={nop,boot} parameter If the nop or initcall tracers are launched as boot tracers, they will attempt to create their option directory and files. But these tracers are registered very early and then assigned as "boot tracers" very early if asked to. Since they do this before debugfs has been registered (core initcall), a crash is triggered. Another early tracers could also come later. So we fix it by checking if debugfs is initialized before creating the root tracing directory. Signed-off-by:

Impact: detect tracing related hangs Sometimes, with some configs, the function graph tracer can make the timer interrupt too much slow, hanging the kernel in an endless loop of timer interrupts servicing. As suggested by Ingo, this patch brings a watchdog which stops the selftest after a defined number of functions traced, definitely disabling this tracer. For those who want to debug the cause of the function graph trace hang, you can pass the ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter to dump the traces after this hang detection. Signed-off-by:

Impact: remove a section warning CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH raises the following warning on -tip: WARNING: kernel/trace/built-in.o(.text+0x5bc5): Section mismatch in reference from the function ring_buffer_alloc() to the function .cpuinit.text:rb_cpu_notify() The function ring_buffer_alloc() references the function __cpuinit rb_cpu_notify(). This is actually harmless. The code in the ring buffer don't build rb_cpu_notify and other cpu hotplug stuffs when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU so we have no risk to reference freed memory here (it would even be harmless if we unconditionally build it because register_cpu_notifier would do nothing when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. But since ring_buffer_alloc() can be called everytime, we don't want it to be annotated with __cpuinit so we drop the __cpuinit from rb_cpu_notify. This is not a waste of memory because it is only defined and used on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. Signed-off-by:

With the added TRACE_EVENT macro, the events no longer appear in the function graph tracer. This was because the function graph did not know how to display the entries. The graph tracer was only aware of its own entries and the printk entries. By using the event call back feature, the graph tracer can now display the events. # echo irq > /debug/tracing/set_event Which can show: 0) | handle_IRQ_event() { 0) | /* irq_handler_entry: irq=48 handler=eth0 */ 0) | e1000_intr() { 0) 0.926 us | __napi_schedule(); 0) 3.888 us | } 0) | /* irq_handler_exit: irq=48 return=handled */ 0) 0.655 us | runqueue_is_locked(); 0) | __wake_up() { 0) 0.831 us | _spin_lock_irqsave(); The irq entry and exit events show up as comments.

Steven Rostedt authored
Currently, the function graph tracer depends on the trace_printk to record the depth. All the information is already there in the trace to calculate function depth, with the exception of having the printk be the first item. But as soon as a entry or exit is reached, then we know the depth. This patch changes the iter->private data from recording a per cpu last_pid, to a structure that holds both the last_pid and the current depth. This data is used to determine the function depth for the printks. Signed-off-by:

Impact: fix warning with irqsoff tracer The ring buffer allocates its buffers on pre-smp time (early_initcall). It means that, at first, only the boot cpu buffer is allocated and the ring-buffer cpumask only has the boot cpu set (cpu_online_mask). Later, the secondary cpu will show up and the ring-buffer will be notified about this event: the appropriate buffer will be allocated and the cpumask will be updated. Unfortunately, if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG, the ring-buffer will not be notified about the secondary cpus, meaning that the cpumask will have only the cpu boot set, and only one cpu buffer allocated. We fix that by using cpu_possible_mask if !CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG. This patch fixes the following warning with irqsoff tracer running: [ 169.317794] WARNING: at kernel/trace/trace.c:466 update_max_tr_single+0xcc/0xf3() [ 169.318002] Hardware name: AMILO Li 2727 [ 169.318002] Modules linked in: [ 169.318002] Pid: 5624, comm: bash Not tainted 2.6.29-rc8-tip-02636-g6aafa6c #11 [ 169.318002] Call Trace: [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff81036182>] warn_slowpath+0xea/0x13d [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8100b9d6>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8100b9d6>] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2b [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8100b9d1>] ? ftrace_call+0x0/0x2b [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8101ef10>] ? ftrace_modify_code+0xa9/0x108 [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8106e27f>] ? trace_hardirqs_off+0x25/0x27 [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8149afe7>] ? _spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x1f/0x2d [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff81064f52>] ? ring_buffer_reset_cpu+0xf6/0xfb [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8106637c>] ? ring_buffer_reset+0x36/0x48 [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8106aeda>] update_max_tr_single+0xcc/0xf3 [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8100bc17>] ? sysret_check+0x22/0x5d [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8106e3ea>] stop_critical_timing+0x142/0x204 [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8106e4cf>] trace_hardirqs_on_caller+0x23/0x25 [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8149ac28>] trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3c [ 169.318002] [<ffffffff8100bc17>] ? sysret_check+0x22/0x5d [ 169.318002] ---[ end trace db76cbf775a750cf ]--- Because this tracer may try to swap two cpu ring buffers for an unregistered cpu on the ring buffer.

Impact: prevent overwrite of command line entries When the tracer is stopped the command line recording continues to record. The check for tracing_is_on() is not sufficient here as the ringbuffer status is not affected by setting debug/tracing/tracing_enabled to 0. On a non idle system this can result in the loss of the command line information for the stopped trace, which makes the trace harder to read and analyse. Check tracer_enabled to allow further recording. Signed-off-by:

Disabling the tracing on stops the recording of traces, but does not stop the caching of command lines.

Impact: fix a warning during preemptirqsoff selftests When the preemptirqsoff selftest fails, we see the following warning: [ 6.050000] Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: .. no entries found .. ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 6.060000] WARNING: at kernel/trace/trace.c:688 tracing_start+0x67/0xd3() [ 6.060000] Modules linked in: [ 6.060000] Pid: 1, comm: swapper Tainted: G [ 6.060000] Call Trace: [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff802460ff>] warn_slowpath+0xb1/0x100 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff802a8f5b>] ? trace_preempt_on+0x35/0x4b [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff802a37fb>] ? tracing_start+0x31/0xd3 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff802a37fb>] ? tracing_start+0x31/0xd3 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff80271e0b>] ? __lock_acquired+0xe6/0x1f2 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff802a37fb>] ? tracing_start+0x31/0xd3 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff802a3831>] tracing_start+0x67/0xd3 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff802a8ace>] ? irqsoff_tracer_reset+0x2d/0x57 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff802a4d1c>] trace_selftest_startup_preemptirqsoff+0x1c8/0x1f1 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff802a4798>] register_tracer+0x12f/0x241 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff810250d0>] ? init_irqsoff_tracer+0x0/0x53 [ 6.060000] [<ffffffff8102510b>] init_irqsoff_tracer+0x3b/0x53 This is because in fail case, the preemptirqsoff tracer selftest calls twice the tracing_start() function: int trace_selftest_startup_preemptirqsoff(struct tracer *trace, struct trace_array *tr) { if (!ret && !count) { printk(KERN_CONT ".. no entries found .."); ret = -1; tracing_start(); <----- goto out; } [...] out: trace->reset(tr); tracing_start(); <------ tracing_max_latency = save_max; return ret; } Since it is well handled in the out path, we don't need the conditional one.

Syscall tracing must select kallsysms. The arch code builds a table to find the syscall metadata by syscall number. It needs the syscalls names resolution from the symbol table to know which name found on the syscalls metadatas match a function pointer from the arch sys_call_table. Reported-by:

Impact: fix syscall tracer enable/disable race The current thread flag toggling is racy as shown in the following scenario: - task A is the last user of syscall tracing, it releases the TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks - at the same time task B start syscall tracing. refcount == 0 so it sets up TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE on each tasks. The effect of the mixup is unpredictable. So this fix adds a mutex on {start,stop}_syscall_tracing(). Reported-by:

Impact: fix 'stuck' syscall tracer The syscall tracer uses a refcounter to enable several users simultaneously. But the refcounter did not behave correctly and always restored its value to 0 after calling start_syscall_tracing(). Therefore, stop_syscall_tracing() couldn't release correctly the tasks from tracing. Also the tracer forgot to reset the buffer when it is released. Drop the pointless refcount decrement on start_syscall_tracing() and reset the buffer when we release the tracer. This fixes two reported issue: - when we switch from syscall tracer to another tracer, syscall tracing continued. - incorrect use of the refcount. Reported-by:

Impact: new feature This adds the generic support for syscalls tracing. This is currently exploited through a devoted tracer but other tracing engines can use it. (They just have to play with {start,stop}_ftrace_syscalls() and use the display callbacks unless they want to override them.) The syscalls prototypes definitions are abused here to steal some metadata informations: - syscall name, param types, param names, number of params The syscall addr is not directly saved during this definition because we don't know if its prototype is available in the namespace. But we don't really need it. The arch has just to build a function able to resolve the syscall number to its metadata struct. The current tracer prints the syscall names, parameters names and values (and their types optionally). Currently the value is a raw hex but higher level values diplaying is on my TODO list.
