Rename xbc_node_find_child() to xbc_node_find_subkey() for clarifying that function returns a key node (no value node). Since there are xbc_node_for_each_child() (loop on all child nodes) and xbc_node_for_each_subkey() (loop on only subkey nodes), this name distinction is necessary to avoid confusing users.

Since xbc_node_find_child() doesn't ensure the returned node is a leaf node (key-value pair or do not have subkeys), use xbc_node_find_value to ensure the histogram control parameter is a leaf node in trace_boot_compose_hist_cmd().

trace_boot_hist_add_array() uses the combination of xbc_node_find_child() and xbc_node_get_child() to get the child node of the key node. But since it missed to check the child node is data node or not, user can pass the subkey node for the array node (anode). To avoid this issue, check the array node is a data node. Actually, there is xbc_node_find_value(node, key, vnode), which ensures the @vnode is a value node, so use it in trace_boot_hist_add_array() to fix this issue.

Since the commit e5efaeb8 ("bootconfig: Support mixing a value and subkeys under a key") allows to co-exist a value node and key nodes under a node, xbc_node_for_each_child() is not only returning key node but also a value node. In the boot-time tracing using xbc_node_for_each_child() to iterate the events, groups and instances, but those must be key nodes. Thus it must use xbc_node_for_each_subkey().

The original test for adding and removing eprobes used synthetic events and retrieved the filename from the open system call at the end of the system call. This would allow it to always be loaded into the page tables when accessed. Masami suggested that the test was too complex for just testing add and remove, so it was changed to test just adding and removing an event probe on top of the start of the open system call event. Now it is possible that the filename will not be loaded into memory at the time the eprobe is triggered, and will result in "(fault)" being displayed in the event. This causes the test to fail. Account for "(fault)" also being one of the values of the filename field of the event probe.

Setting the hist_elt_data.field_var_str[] array unconditionally to a size of SYNTH_FIELD_MAX elements wastes space unnecessarily. The actual number of elements needed can be calculated at run-time instead. In most cases, this will save a lot of space since it's a per-elt array which isn't normally close to being full. It also allows us to increase SYNTH_FIELD_MAX without worrying about even more wastage when we do that.

migrate_disable() forbids task migration to another CPU. It is available since v5.11 and has already users such as highmem or BPF. It is useful to observe this task state in tracing which already has other states like the preemption counter. Instead of adding the migrate disable counter as a new entry to struct trace_entry, which would extend the whole struct by four bytes, it is squashed into the preempt-disable counter. The lower four bits represent the preemption counter, the upper four bits represent the migrate disable counter. Both counter shouldn't exceed 15 but if they do, there is a safety net which caps the value at 15. Add the migrate-disable counter to the trace entry so it shows up in the trace. Due to the users mentioned above, it is already possible to observe it: | bash-1108 [000] ...21 73.950578: rss_stat: mm_id=2213312838 curr=0 type=MM_ANONPAGES size=8192B | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: irq_disable: caller=flush_tlb_mm_range+0x115/0x130 parent=ptep_clear_flush+0x42/0x50 | bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: tlb_flush: pages:1 reason:local mm shootdown (3) The last value is the migrate-disable counter. Things that popped up: - trace_print_lat_context() does not print the migrate counter. Not sure if it should. It is used in "verbose" mode and uses 8 digits and I'm not sure ther is something processing the value. - trace_define_common_fields() now defines a different variable. This probably breaks things. No ide what to do in order to preserve the old behaviour. Since this is used as a filter it should be split somehow to be able to match both nibbles here.

A new dynamic event is introduced: event probe. The event is attached to an existing tracepoint and uses its fields as arguments. The user can specify custom format string of the new event, select what tracepoint arguments will be printed and how to print them. An event probe is created by writing configuration string in 'dynamic_events' ftrace file: e[:[SNAME/]ENAME] SYSTEM/EVENT [FETCHARGS] - Set an event probe -:SNAME/ENAME - Delete an event probe Where: SNAME - System name, if omitted 'eprobes' is used. ENAME - Name of the new event in SNAME, if omitted the SYSTEM_EVENT is used. SYSTEM - Name of the system, where the tracepoint is defined, mandatory. EVENT - Name of the tracepoint event in SYSTEM, mandatory. FETCHARGS - Arguments: <name>=$<field>[:TYPE] - Fetch given filed of the tracepoint and print it as given TYPE with given name. Supported types are: (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), basic type (x8/x16/x32/x64), hexadecimal types "string", "ustring" and bitfield. Example, attach an event probe on openat system call and print name of the file that will be opened: echo "e:esys/eopen syscalls/sys_enter_openat file=\$filename:string" >> dynamic_events A new dynamic event is created in events/esys/eopen/ directory. It can be deleted with: echo "-:esys/eopen" >> dynamic_events Filters, triggers and histograms can be attached to the new event, it can be matched in synthetic events. There is one limitation - an event probe can not be attached to kprobe, uprobe or another event probe.

Since kprobe_events and uprobe_events only check whether the other same-type probe event has the same name or not, if the user gives the same name of the existing tracepoint event (or the other type of probe events), it silently fails to create the tracefs entry (but registered.) as below. /sys/kernel/tracing # ls events/task/task_rename enable filter format hist id trigger /sys/kernel/tracing # echo p:task/task_rename vfs_read >> kprobe_events [ 113.048508] Could not create tracefs 'task_rename' directory /sys/kernel/tracing # cat kprobe_events p:task/task_rename vfs_read To fix this issue, check whether the existing events have the same name or not in trace_probe_register_event_call(). If exists, it rejects to register the new event. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/162936876189.187130.17558311387542061930.stgit@devnote2Signed-off-by:

Kprobe and uprobe events can add a "system" to the events that are created via the kprobe_events and uprobe_events files respectively. If they do not include a "system" in the name, then the default "kprobes" or "uprobes" is used. The current notation to specify a system for one of these probe events is to add a '/' delimiter in the name, where the content before the '/' will be the system to use, and the content after will be the event name. echo 'p:my_system/my_event' > kprobe_events But this is inconsistent with the way histogram triggers separate their system / event names. The histogram triggers use a '.' delimiter, which can be confusing. To allow this to be more consistent, as well as keep backward compatibility, allow the kprobe and uprobe events to denote a system name with either a '/' or a '.'. That is: echo 'p:my_system/my_event' > kprobe_events is equivalent to: echo 'p:my_system.my_event' > kprobe_events Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-devel/20210813004448.51c7de69ce432d338f4d226b@kernel.org/ Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210817035027.580493202@goodmis.orgSuggested-by:

The two places that call traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() allocate a temporary buffer to copy the argv[i] into, because argv[i] is constant and the traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() will modify it to do the parsing. These two places allocate this buffer and then free it right after calling this function, leaving the onus of this allocation to the caller. As there's about to be a third user of this function that will have to do the same thing, instead of having the caller allocate the temporary buffer, simply move that allocation into the traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() itself, which will simplify the code of the callers.

As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep the dynamic event from going away. Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure, make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.

To differentiate between static and dynamic events, add a new flag DYNAMIC to the event flags that all dynamic events have set. This will allow to differentiate when attaching to a dynamic event from a static event. Static events have a mod pointer that references the module they were created in (or NULL for core kernel). This can be incremented when the event has something attached to it. But there exists no such mechanism for dynamic events. This is dangerous as the dynamic events may now disappear without the "attachment" knowing that it no longer exists. To enforce the dynamic flag, change dyn_event_add() to pass the event that is being created such that it can set the DYNAMIC flag of the event. This helps make sure that no location that creates a dynamic event misses setting this flag.
