Add functions used to generate kprobe event commands, built on top of the dynevent_cmd interface. kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() is used to create a kprobe event command using a variable arg list, and kretprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() does the same for kretprobe event commands. kprobe_event_add_fields() can be used to add single fields one by one or as a group. Once all desired fields are added, kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end() or kretprobe_event_gen_cmd_end() respectively are used to actually execute the command and create the event.

Add an exported function named synth_event_trace(), allowing modules or other kernel code to trace synthetic events. Also added are several functions that allow the same functionality to be broken out in a piecewise fashion, which are useful in situations where tracing an event from a full array of values would be cumbersome. Those functions are synth_event_trace_start/end() and synth_event_add_(next)_val(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/7a84de5f1854acf4144b57efe835ca645afa764f.1580323897.git.zanussi@kernel.orgAcked-by:

Tom Zanussi authored
Add an interface used to build up dynamic event creation commands, such as synthetic and kprobe events. Interfaces specific to those particular types of events and others can be built on top of this interface. Command creation is started by first using the dynevent_cmd_init() function to initialize the dynevent_cmd object. Following that, args are appended and optionally checked by the dynevent_arg_add() and dynevent_arg_pair_add() functions, which use objects representing arguments and pairs of arguments, initialized respectively by dynevent_arg_init() and dynevent_arg_pair_init(). Finally, once all args have been successfully added, the command is finalized and actually created using dynevent_create(). The code here for actually printing into the dyn_event->cmd buffer using snprintf() etc was adapted from v4 of Masami's 'tracing/boot: Add synthetic event support' patch.

create_or_delete_synth_event() contains code to delete a synthetic event, which would be useful on its own - specifically, it would be useful to allow event-creating modules to call it separately. Separate out the delete code from that function and create an exported function named synth_event_delete().

Add a function to get an event file and prevent it from going away on module or instance removal. trace_get_event_file() will find an event file in a given instance (if instance is NULL, it assumes the top trace array) and return it, pinning the instance's trace array as well as the event's module, if applicable, so they won't go away while in use. trace_put_event_file() does the matching release.

Add a new trace_array_find() function that can be used to find a trace array given the instance name, and replace existing code that does the same thing with it. Also add trace_array_find_get() which does the same but returns the trace array after upping its refcount. Also make both available for use outside of trace.c.

Reading the sched_cmdline_ref and sched_tgid_ref initial state within tracing_start_sched_switch without holding the sched_register_mutex is racy against concurrent updates, which can lead to tracepoint probes being registered more than once (and thus trigger warnings within tracepoint.c).

The 'hist:' prefix gets stripped from the command text during command processing, but should be added back when displaying the command during error processing. Not only because it's what should be displayed but also because not having it means the test cases fail because the caret is miscalculated by the length of the prefix string.

Tom Zanussi authored
In the process of adding better error messages for sorting, I realized that strsep was being used incorrectly and some of the error paths I was expecting to be hit weren't and just fell through to the common invalid key error case. It also became obvious that for keyword assignments, it wasn't necessary to save the full assignment and reparse it later, and having a common empty-assignment check would also make more sense in terms of error processing. Change the code to fix these problems and simplify it for new error message changes in a subsequent patch.

As warnings can trigger panics, especially when "panic_on_warn" is set, memory failure warnings can cause panics and fail fuzz testers that are stressing memory. Create a MEM_FAIL() macro to use instead of WARN() in the tracing code (perhaps this should be a kernel wide macro?), and use that for memory failure issues. This should stop failing fuzz tests due to warnings. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CACT4Y+ZP-7np20GVRu3p+eZys9GPtbu+JpfV+HtsufAzvTgJrg@mail.gmail.comSuggested-by:

The trace_array_get_by_name() creates a ftrace instance and trace_array_put() is used to remove the reference. Even though the trace_array_get_by_name() creates the instance, it also adds a reference count to it, that prevents user space from removing it. As the bootconfig just creates the instance on boot up, it should still be used where it can be deleted by user space after boot. A trace_array_put() is required to let that happen. Also, change the documentation on trace_array_get_by_name() to make this not be so confusing.

commit f42c85e7 moved tracepoint's ftrace creation into include/trace/ftrace.h and trace/define_trace.h was deleted as a result. However some comment info does not adapt to the change, which is such a misguiding when reading related code. This patch fix this by moving trace/trace_events.h to <trace/events/XXX.h>, since tracepoint headers have already been moved to tarce/events/.

I noticed when trying to use the trace-cmd python interface that reading the raw buffer wasn't working for kernel_stack events. This is because it uses a stubbed version of __dynamic_array that doesn't do the __data_loc trick and encode the length of the array into the field. Instead it just shows up as a size of 0. So change this to __array and set the len to FTRACE_STACK_ENTRIES since this is what we actually do in practice and matches how user_stack_trace works.

Looking through old emails in my INBOX, I came across a patch from Luis Henriques that attempted to fix a race of two stat tracers registering the same stat trace (extremely unlikely, as this is done in the kernel, and probably doesn't even exist). The submitted patch wasn't quite right as it needed to deal with clean up a bit better (if two stat tracers were the same, it would have the same files). But to make the code cleaner, all we needed to do is to keep the all_stat_sessions_mutex held for most of the registering function.
