      tracing: Adding NULL checks for trace_array descriptor pointer · 953ae45a
      Divya Indi authored
      As part of commit f45d1225 ("tracing: Kernel access to Ftrace
      instances") we exported certain functions. Here, we are adding some additional
      NULL checks to ensure safe usage by users of these APIs.

      preemptirq_delay_test: Add the burst feature and a sysfs trigger · 79393723
      Viktor Rosendahl (BMW) authored
      This burst feature enables the user to generate a burst of
      preempt/irqsoff latencies. This makes it possible to test whether we
      are able to detect latencies that systematically occur very close to
      each other.
      
      The maximum burst size is 10. We also create 10 identical test
      functions, so that we get 10 different backtraces; this is useful
      when we want to test whether we can detect all the latencies in a
      burst. Otherwise, there would be no easy way of differentiating
      between which latency in a burst was captured by the tracer.
      
      In addition, there is a sysfs trigger, so that it's not necessary to
      reload the module to repeat the test. The trigger will appear as
      /sys/kernel/preemptirq_delay_test/trigger in sysfs.

      ftrace: Implement fs notification for tracing_max_latency · 91edde2e
      Viktor Rosendahl (BMW) authored
      This patch implements the feature that the tracing_max_latency file,
      e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency will receive
      notifications through the fsnotify framework when a new latency is
      available.
      
      One particularly interesting use of this facility is when enabling
      threshold tracing, through /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh,
      together with the preempt/irqsoff tracers. This makes it possible to
      implement a user space program that can, with equal probability,
      obtain traces of latencies that occur immediately after each other in
      spite of the fact that the preempt/irqsoff tracers operate in overwrite
      mode.
      
      This facility works with the hwlat, preempt/irqsoff, and wakeup
      tracers.
      
      The tracers may call the latency_fsnotify() from places such as
      __schedule() or do_idle(); this makes it impossible to call
      queue_work() directly without risking a deadlock. The same would
      happen with a softirq,  kernel thread or tasklet. For this reason we
      use the irq_work mechanism to call queue_work().
      
      This patch creates a new workqueue. The reason for doing this is that
      I wanted to use the WQ_UNBOUND and WQ_HIGHPRI flags.  My thinking was
      that WQ_UNBOUND might help with the latency in some important cases.
      
      If we use:
      
      queue_work(system_highpri_wq, &tr->fsnotify_work);
      
      then the work will (almost) always execute on the same CPU but if we are
      unlucky that CPU could be too busy while there could be another CPU in
      the system that would be able to process the work soon enough.
      
      queue_work_on() could be used to queue the work on another CPU but it
      seems difficult to select the right CPU.

      ftrace: Add information on number of page groups allocated · da537f0a
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      Looking for ways to shrink the size of the dyn_ftrace structure, knowing the
      information about how many pages and the number of groups of those pages, is
      useful in working out the best ways to save on memory.
      
      This adds one info print on how many groups of pages were used to allocate
      the ftrace dyn_ftrace structures, and also shows the number of pages and
      groups in the dyn_ftrace_total_info (which is used for debugging).

      ftrace/x86: Tell objtool to ignore nondeterministic ftrace stack layout · 77ac117b
      Josh Poimboeuf authored
      Objtool complains about the new ftrace direct trampoline code:
      
        arch/x86/kernel/ftrace_64.o: warning: objtool: ftrace_regs_caller()+0x190: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+16 cfa2=7+24
      
      Typically, code has a deterministic stack layout, such that at a given
      instruction address, the stack frame size is always the same.
      
      That's not the case for the new ftrace_regs_caller() code after it
      adjusts the stack for the direct case.  Just plead ignorance and assume
      it's always the non-direct path.  Note this creates a tiny window for
      ORC to get confused.

      ftrace/x86: Add a counter to test function_graph with direct · a3ad1a7e
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      As testing for direct calls from the function graph tracer adds a little
      overhead (which is a lot when tracing every function), add a counter that
      can be used to test if function_graph tracer needs to test for a direct
      caller or not.
      
      It would have been nicer if we could use a static branch, but the static
      branch logic fails when used within the function graph tracer trampoline.

      ftrace/selftest: Add tests to test register_ftrace_direct() · 646f01cc
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      Add two test cases that test the new ftrace direct functionality if the
      ftrace-direct sample module is available. One test case tests against each
      available tracer (function, function_graph, mmiotrace, etc), and the other
      test tests against a kprobe at the same location as the direct caller. Both
      tests follow the same pattern of testing combinations:
      
        enable test (either the tracer or the kprobe)
        load direct function module
        unload direct function module
        disable test
      
        enable test
        load direct function module
        disable test
        unload direct function module
      
        load direct function module
        enable test
        disable test
        unload direct function module
      
        load direct function module
        enable test
        unload direct function module
        disable test
      
      As most the bugs in development happened with various ways of enabling or
      disabling the direct calls with function tracer in one of these
      combinations.

      ftrace: Add register_ftrace_direct() · 763e34e7
      Steven Rostedt (VMware) authored
      Add the start of the functionality to allow other trampolines to use the
      ftrace mcount/fentry/nop location. This adds two new functions:
      
       register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct()
      
      Both take two parameters: the first is the instruction address of where the
      mcount/fentry/nop exists, and the second is the trampoline to have that
      location called.
      
      This will handle cases where ftrace is already used on that same location,
      and will make it still work, where the registered direct called trampoline
      will get called after all the registered ftrace callers are handled.
      
      Currently, it will not allow for IP_MODIFY functions to be called at the
      same locations, which include some kprobes and live kernel patching.
      
      At this point, no architecture supports this. This is only the start of
      implementing the framework.
