The save_mcount_regs macro saves and restores the required mcount regs that need to be saved before calling C code. It is done for all the function hook utilities (static tracing, dynamic tracing, regs, function graph). When frame pointers are enabled, the ftrace trampolines need to set up frames and pointers such that a back trace (dump stack) can continue passed them. Currently, a separate macro is used (create_frame) to do this, but it's only done for the ftrace_caller and ftrace_reg_caller functions. It is not done for the static tracer or function graph tracing. Instead of having a separate macro doing the recording of the frames, have the save_mcount_regs perform this task. This also has all tracers saving the frame pointers when needed.

The macro save_mcount_regs saves regs onto the stack. But to uncouple the amount of stack used in that macro from the users of the macro, we need to have a define that tells all the users how much stack is used by that macro. This way we can change the amount of stack the macro uses without breaking its users. Also remove some dead code that was left over from commit fdc841b5 "ftrace: x86: Remove check of obsolete variable function_trace_stop".

Currently save_mcount_regs is passed a "skip" parameter to know how much stack updated the pt_regs, as it tries to keep the saved pt_regs in the same location for all users. This is rather stupid, especially since the part stored on the pt_regs has nothing to do with what is suppose to be in that location. Instead of doing that, just pass in an "added" parameter that lets that macro know how much stack was added before it was called so that it can get to the RIP. But the difference is that it will now offset the pt_regs by that "added" count. The caller now needs to take care of the offset of the pt_regs. This will make it easier to simplify the code later.

Instead of having save_mcount_regs store the RIP in %rdx as a temp register to place it in the proper location of the pt_regs on the stack. Use the %rdi register as the temp register. This lets us remove the extra store in the ftrace_caller_setup macro.

The name MCOUNT_SAVE_FRAME is rather confusing as it really isn't a function frame that is saved, but just the required mcount registers that are needed to be saved before C code may be called. The word "frame" confuses it as being a function frame which it is not. Rename MCOUNT_SAVE_FRAME and MCOUNT_RESTORE_FRAME to save_mcount_regs and restore_mcount_regs respectively. Noticed the lower case, which keeps it from screaming at the reviewers.

Linus pointed out that there were locations that did the hard coded update of the parent and rip parameters. One of them was the static tracer which could also use the ftrace_caller_setup to do that work. In fact, because it did not use it, it is prone to bugs, and since the static tracer is hardly ever used (who wants function tracing code always being called?) it doesn't get tested very often. I only run a few "does it still work" tests on it. But I do not run stress tests on that code. Although, since it is never turned off, just having it on should be stressful enough. (especially for the performance folks) There's no reason that the static tracer can't also use ftrace_caller_setup. Have it do so.

New updates to the ftrace generic code had ftrace_stub not always being called when ftrace is off. This causes the static tracer to always save and restore functions. But it also showed that when function tracing is running, the function graph tracer can not. We should always check to see if function graph tracing is running even if the function tracer is running too. The function tracer code is not the only one that uses the hook to function mcount.

Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY to avoid conflict among ftrace users who may modify regs->ip to change the execution path. If two or more users modify the regs->ip on the same function entry, one of them will be broken. So they must add IPMODIFY flag and make sure that ftrace_set_filter_ip() succeeds. Note that ftrace doesn't allow ftrace_ops which has IPMODIFY flag to have notrace hash, and the ftrace_ops must have a filter hash (so that the ftrace_ops can hook only specific entries), because it strongly depends on the address and must be allowed for only few selected functions.

Recover original IP register if the pre_handler doesn't change it. Since current kprobes doesn't expect that another ftrace handler may change regs->ip, it sets kprobe.addr + MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE to regs->ip and returns to ftrace. This seems wrong behavior since kprobes can recover regs->ip and safely pass it to another handler. This adds code which recovers original regs->ip passed from ftrace right before returning to ftrace, so that another ftrace user can change regs->ip.

If the trace_seq of ftrace_raw_output_prep() is full this function returns TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE, otherwise it returns zero. The problem is that TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE happens to be zero! The thing is, the caller of ftrace_raw_output_prep() expects a success to be zero. Change that to expect it to be TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED.

The trace_seq_printf() and friends are used to store strings into a buffer that can be passed around from function to function. If the trace_seq buffer fills up, it will not print any more. The return values were somewhat inconsistant and using trace_seq_has_overflowed() was a better way to know if the write to the trace_seq buffer succeeded or not. Now that all users have removed reading the return value of the printf() type functions, they can safely return void and keep future users of them from reading the inconsistent values as well.

Adding a trace_seq_has_overflowed() which returns true if the trace_seq had too much written into it allows us to simplify the code. Instead of checking the return value of every call to trace_seq_printf() and friends, they can all be called normally, and at the end we can return !trace_seq_has_overflowed() instead. Several functions also return TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE when the trace_seq overflowed and TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED otherwise. Another helper function was created called trace_handle_return() which takes a trace_seq and returns these enums. Using this helper function also simplifies the code. This change also makes it possible to remove the return values of trace_seq_printf() and friends. They should instead just be void functions.

Luckily, the only user of this "ipi_raise tracepoint" uses it as the first parameter, and as such, the start of the temp buffer in include/trace/ftrace.h (see __get_bitmask()).

Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs to module code. But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines. These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they are neither core kernel code nor module address space. Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with the core_kernel_text() function.

When CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS are enabled, it is required that the ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller trampolines set up frame pointers otherwise a stack trace from a function call wont print the functions that called the trampoline. This is due to a check in __save_stack_address(): #ifdef CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER if (!reliable) return; #endif The "reliable" variable is only set if the function address is equal to contents of the address before the address the frame pointer register points to. If the frame pointer is not set up for the ftrace caller then this will fail the reliable test. It will miss the function that called the trampoline. Worse yet, if fentry is used (gcc 4.6 and beyond), it will also miss the parent, as the fentry is called before the stack frame is set up. That means the bp frame pointer points to the stack of just before the parent function was called.

The function probe counting for traceon and traceoff suffered a race condition where if the probe was executing on two or more CPUs at the same time, it could decrement the counter by more than one when disabling (or enabling) the tracer only once. The way the traceon and traceoff probes are suppose to work is that they disable (or enable) tracing once per count. If a user were to echo 'schedule:traceoff:3' into set_ftrace_filter, then when the schedule function was called, it would disable tracing. But the count should only be decremented once (to 2). Then if the user enabled tracing again (via tracing_on file), the next call to schedule would disable tracing again and the count would be decremented to 1. But if multiple CPUS called schedule at the same time, it is possible that the count would be decremented more than once because of the simple "count--" used. By reading the count into a local variable and using memory barriers we can guarantee that the count would only be decremented once per disable (or enable). The stack trace probe had a similar race, but here the stack trace will decrement for each time it is called. But this had the read-modify- write race, where it could stack trace more than the number of times that was specified. This case we use a cmpxchg to stack trace only the number of times specified. The dump probes can still use the old "update_count()" function as they only run once, and that is controlled by the dump logic itself.

Currently kdb's ftdump command will livelock by constantly printk'ing the empty string at KERN_EMERG level if it run when the ftrace system is not in use. This occurs because trace_empty() never returns false when the ring buffers are left at the start of a non-consuming read [launched by ring_buffer_read_start()]. This patch changes the loop exit condition to use the result of trace_find_next_entry_inc(). Effectively this switches the non-consuming kdb dumper to follow the approach of the non-consuming userspace interface [s_next()] rather than the consuming ftrace_dump().

The abridged stacktrace (gathered with ARCH=arm) is: --- cut here --- [<c09535ac>] (panic) from [<c02132dc>] (die+0x264/0x440) [<c02132dc>] (die) from [<c0952eb8>] (__do_kernel_fault.part.11+0x74/0x84) [<c0952eb8>] (__do_kernel_fault.part.11) from [<c021f954>] (do_page_fault+0x1d0/0x3c4) [<c021f954>] (do_page_fault) from [<c020846c>] (do_DataAbort+0x48/0xac) [<c020846c>] (do_DataAbort) from [<c0213c58>] (__dabt_svc+0x38/0x60) Exception stack(0xc0deba88 to 0xc0debad0) ba80: e8c29180 00000001 e9854304 e9854300 c0f567d8 c0df2580 baa0: 00000000 00000000 00000000 c0f117b8 c0e3a3c0 c0debb0c 00000000 c0debad0 bac0: 0000672e c02f4d60 60000193 ffffffff [<c0213c58>] (__dabt_svc) from [<c02f4d60>] (kdb_ftdump+0x1e4/0x3d8) [<c02f4d60>] (kdb_ftdump) from [<c02ce328>] (kdb_parse+0x2b8/0x698) [<c02ce328>] (kdb_parse) from [<c02ceef0>] (kdb_main_loop+0x52c/0x784) [<c02ceef0>] (kdb_main_loop) from [<c02d1b0c>] (kdb_stub+0x238/0x490) --- cut here --- The NULL deref occurs due to the initialized use of struct trace_iter's buffer_iter member. This is a regression, albeit a fairly elderly one. It was introduced by commit 6d158a81 ("tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from trace_iterator"). This patch solves this by providing a collection of ring_buffer_iter(s) and using this to initialize buffer_iter. Note that static allocation is used solely because the trace_iter itself is also static allocated. Static allocation also means that we have to NULL-ify the pointer during cleanup to avoid use-after-free problems.

According to the documentation, adding "traceoff_on_warning" to the boot command line should be enough to enable the feature. But right now it is necessary to specify "traceoff_on_warning=". Along with fixing that, also verify if the value passed, if any, is either "0" or "off". Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20141112231400.GL12281@uudg.orgSigned-off-by: Luis Claudio R.

With the new logic, if only a single user of ftrace function hooks is used, it will get its own trampoline assigned to it. The problem is that the control_ops is an indirect ops that perf ops uses. What that means is that when perf registers its ops with register_ftrace_function(), it has the CONTROL flag set and gets added to the control list instead of the global ftrace list. The control_ops gets added to that instead and the mcount trampoline calls the control_ops function. The control_ops function will iterate the control list and call the ops functions that are attached to it. But currently the trampoline is added to the perf ops and not the control ops, and when ftrace tries to find a trampoline hook for it, it fails to find one and gives the following splat: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10133 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2033 ftrace_get_addr_new+0x6f/0xc0() Modules linked in: [...] CPU: 0 PID: 10133 Comm: perf Tainted: P 3.18.0-rc1-test+ #388 Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF/339A, BIOS K01 v02.05 05/07/2012 00000000000007f1 ffff8800c2643bc8 ffffffff814fca6e ffff88011ea0ed01 0000000000000000 ffff8800c2643c08 ffffffff81041ffd 0000000000000000 ffffffff810c388c ffffffff81a5a350 ffff880119b00000 ffffffff810001c8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814fca6e>] dump_stack+0x46/0x58 [<ffffffff81041ffd>] warn_slowpath_common+0x81/0x9b [<ffffffff810c388c>] ? ftrace_get_addr_new+0x6f/0xc0 [<ffffffff810001c8>] ? 0xffffffff810001c8 [<ffffffff81042031>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x1c [<ffffffff810c388c>] ftrace_get_addr_new+0x6f/0xc0 [<ffffffff8102e938>] ftrace_replace_code+0xd6/0x334 [<ffffffff810c4116>] ftrace_modify_all_code+0x41/0xc5 [<ffffffff8102eba6>] arch_ftrace_update_code+0x10/0x19 [<ffffffff810c293c>] ftrace_run_update_code+0x21/0x42 [<ffffffff810c298f>] ftrace_startup_enable+0x32/0x34 [<ffffffff810c3049>] ftrace_startup+0x14e/0x15a [<ffffffff810c307c>] register_ftrace_function+0x27/0x40 [<ffffffff810dc118>] perf_ftrace_event_register+0x3e/0xee [<ffffffff810dbfbe>] perf_trace_init+0x29d/0x2a9 [<ffffffff810eb422>] perf_tp_event_init+0x27/0x3a [<ffffffff810f18bc>] perf_init_event+0x9e/0xed [<ffffffff810f1ba4>] perf_event_alloc+0x299/0x330 [<ffffffff810f236b>] SYSC_perf_event_open+0x3ee/0x816 [<ffffffff8115a066>] ? mntput+0x2d/0x2f [<ffffffff81142b00>] ? __fput+0xa7/0x1b2 [<ffffffff81091300>] ? do_gettimeofday+0x22/0x3a [<ffffffff810f279c>] SyS_perf_event_open+0x9/0xb [<ffffffff81502a92>] system_call_fastpath+0x12/0x17 ---[ end trace 81a53565150e4982 ]--- Bad trampoline accounting at: ffffffff810001c8 (run_init_process+0x0/0x2d) (10000001) Update the control_ops trampoline instead of the perf ops one.
