another weekend, another patch. This should apply on top of my previous patch
from March 23rd.
Summary of changes:
- Print PCI device list in output header
- work around recursive probe hits on SMP
- refactor dis/arm_kmmio_fault_page() and add check for page levels
- remove un/reference_kmmio(), the die notifier hook is registered
permanently into the list
- explicitly check for single stepping in die notifier callback
I have tested this version on my UP Athlon64 desktop with Nouveau, and
SMP Core 2 Duo laptop with the proprietary nvidia driver. Both systems
are 64-bit. One previously unknown bug crept into daylight: the ftrace
framework's output routines print the first entry last after buffer has
wrapped around.
The most important regressions compared to non-ftrace mmiotrace at this
time are:
- failure of trace_pipe file
- illegal lines in output file
- unaware of losing data due to buffer full
Personally I'd like to see these three solved before submitting to
mainline. Other issues may come up once we know when we lose events.

here is a patch that makes mmiotrace work almost well within the tracing
framework. The patch applies on top of my previous patch. I have my own
output formatting in place now.
Summary of changes:
- fix the NULL dereference that was due to not calling tracing_reset()
- add print_line() callback into struct tracer
- implement print_line() for mmiotrace, producing up-to-spec text
- add my output header, but that is not really called in the right place
- rewrote the main structs in mmiotrace
- added two new trace entry types: TRACE_MMIO_RW and TRACE_MMIO_MAP
- made some functions in trace.c non-static
- check current==NULL in tracing_generic_entry_update()
- fix(?) comparison in trace_seq_printf()
Things seem to work fine except a few issues. Markers (text lines injected
into mmiotrace log) are missing, I did not feel hacking them in before we
have variable length entries. My output header is printed only for 'trace'
file, but not 'trace_pipe'. For some reason, despite my quick fix,
iter->trace is NULL in print_trace_line() when called from 'trace_pipe'
file, which means I don't get proper output formatting.
I only tried by loading nouveau.ko, which just detects the card, and that
is traced fine. I didn't try further. Map, two reads and unmap. Works
perfectly.
I am missing the information about overflows, I'd prefer to have a
counter for lost events. I didn't try, but I guess currently there is no
way of knowning when it overflows?
So, not too far from being fully operational, it seems :-)
And looking at the diffstat, there also is some 700-900 lines of user space
code that just became obsolete.

kmmio.c handles the list of mmio probes with callbacks, list of traced
pages, and attaching into the page fault handler and die notifier. It
arms, traps and disarms the given pages, this is the core of mmiotrace.
mmio-mod.c is a user interface, hooking into ioremap functions and
registering the mmio probes. It also decodes the required information
from trapped mmio accesses via the pre and post callbacks in each probe.
Currently, hooking into ioremap functions works by redefining the symbols
of the target (binary) kernel module, so that it calls the traced
versions of the functions.
The most notable changes done since the last discussion are:
- kmmio.c is a built-in, not part of the module
- direct call from fault.c to kmmio.c, removing all dynamic hooks
- prepare for unregistering probes at any time
- make kmmio re-initializable and accessible to more than one user
- rewrite kmmio locking to remove all spinlocks from page fault path
Can I abuse call_rcu() like I do in kmmio.c:unregister_kmmio_probe()
or is there a better way?
The function called via call_rcu() itself calls call_rcu() again,
will this work or break? There I need a second grace period for RCU
after the first grace period for page faults.
Mmiotrace itself (mmio-mod.c) is still a module, I am going to attack
that next. At some point I will start looking into how to make mmiotrace
a tracer component of ftrace (thanks for the hint, Ingo). Ftrace should
make the user space part of mmiotracing as simple as
'cat /debug/trace/mmio > dump.txt'.

Mmiotrace is a tool for trapping memory mapped IO (MMIO) accesses within
the kernel. It is used for debugging and especially for reverse
engineering evil binary drivers.
Mmiotrace works by wrapping the ioremap family of kernel functions and
marking the returned pages as not present. Access to the IO memory
triggers a page fault, which will be handled by mmiotrace's custom page
fault handler. This will single-step the faulted instruction with the
MMIO page marked as present. Access logs are directed to user space via
relay and debug_fs.
This page fault approach is necessary, because binary drivers have
readl/writel etc. calls inlined and therefore extremely difficult to
trap with with e.g. kprobes.
This patch depends on the custom page fault handlers patch.

Now that ftrace is being ported to other architectures, it has become
apparent that DYNAMIC_FTRACE is dependent on whether or not that
architecture implements dynamic ftrace. FTRACE itself may be ported to
an architecture without porting dynamic ftrace.
This patch adds HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE to allow architectures to port ftrace
without having to also port the dynamic aspect as well.

Provides kernel modules a way to register custom page fault handlers.
On every page fault this will call a list of registered functions. The
functions may handle the fault and force do_page_fault() to return
immediately.
This functionality is similar to the now removed page fault notifiers.
Custom page fault handlers are used by debugging and reverse engineering
tools. Mmiotrace is one such tool and a patch to add it into the tree
will follow.
The custom page fault handlers are called earlier in do_page_fault()
than the page fault notifiers were.

This patch replaces the indirect call to the mcount function
pointer with a direct call that will be patched by the
dynamic ftrace routines.
On boot up, the mcount function calls the ftace_stub function.
When the dynamic ftrace code is initialized, the ftrace_stub
is replaced with a call to the ftrace_record_ip, which records
the instruction pointers of the locations that call it.
Later, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine and patch all
the locations to nops.
When a ftrace is enabled, the original calls to mcount will now
be set top call ftrace_caller, which will do a direct call
to the registered ftrace function. This direct call is also patched
when the function that should be called is updated.
All patching is performed by a kstop_machine routine to prevent any
type of race conditions that is associated with modifying code
on the fly.

This patch adds a feature to dynamically replace the ftrace code
with the jmps to allow a kernel with ftrace configured to run
as fast as it can without it configured.
The way this works, is on bootup (if ftrace is enabled), a ftrace
function is registered to record the instruction pointer of all
places that call the function.
Later, if there's still any code to patch, a kthread is awoken
(rate limited to at most once a second) that performs a stop_machine,
and replaces all the code that was called with a jmp over the call
to ftrace. It only replaces what was found the previous time. Typically
the system reaches equilibrium quickly after bootup and there's no code
patching needed at all.
e.g.
call ftrace /* 5 bytes */
is replaced with
jmp 3f /* jmp is 2 bytes and we jump 3 forward */
3:
When we want to enable ftrace for function tracing, the IP recording
is removed, and stop_machine is called again to replace all the locations
of that were recorded back to the call of ftrace. When it is disabled,
we replace the code back to the jmp.
Allocation is done by the kthread. If the ftrace recording function is
called, and we don't have any record slots available, then we simply
skip that call. Once a second a new page (if needed) is allocated for
recording new ftrace function calls. A large batch is allocated at
boot up to get most of the calls there.
Because we do this via stop_machine, we don't have to worry about another
CPU executing a ftrace call as we modify it. But we do need to worry
about NMI's so all functions that might be called via nmi must be
annotated with notrace_nmi. When this code is configured in, the NMI code
will not call notrace.

Add preempt off timings. A lot of kernel core code is taken from the RT patch
latency trace that was written by Ingo Molnar.
This adds "preemptoff" and "preemptirqsoff" to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers
Now instead of just tracing irqs off, preemption off can be selected
to be recorded.
When this is selected, it shares the same files as irqs off timings.
One can either trace preemption off, irqs off, or one or the other off.
By echoing "preemptoff" into /debugfs/tracing/current_tracer, recording
of preempt off only is performed. "irqsoff" will only record the time
irqs are disabled, but "preemptirqsoff" will take the total time irqs
or preemption are disabled. Runtime switching of these options is now
supported by simpling echoing in the appropriate trace name into
/debugfs/tracing/current_tracer.

This patch adds latency tracing for critical timings
(how long interrupts are disabled for).
"irqsoff" is added to /debugfs/tracing/available_tracers
Note:
tracing_max_latency
also holds the max latency for irqsoff (in usecs).
(default to large number so one must start latency tracing)
tracing_thresh
threshold (in usecs) to always print out if irqs off
is detected to be longer than stated here.
If irq_thresh is non-zero, then max_irq_latency
is ignored.
Here's an example of a trace with ftrace_enabled = 0

If CONFIG_FTRACE is selected and /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is
set to a non-zero value the ftrace routine will be called everytime
we enter a kernel function that is not marked with the "notrace"
attribute.
The ftrace routine will then call a registered function if a function
happens to be registered.
[ This code has been highly hacked by Steven Rostedt and Ingo Molnar,
so don't blame Arnaldo for all of this ;-) ]
Update:
It is now possible to register more than one ftrace function.
If only one ftrace function is registered, that will be the
function that ftrace calls directly. If more than one function
is registered, then ftrace will call a function that will loop
through the functions to call.

The previous revert of 0c07ee38c9d4eb081758f5ad14bbffa7197e1aec left
out the mwait disable condition for AMD family 10H/11H CPUs.
Andreas Herrman said:
It depends on the CPU. For AMD CPUs that support MWAIT this is wrong.
Family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs will enter C1 on HLT. Powersavings then
depend on a clock divisor and current Pstate of the core.
If all cores of a processor are in halt state (C1) the processor can
enter the C1E (C1 enhanced) state. If mwait is used this will never
happen.
Thus HLT saves more power than MWAIT here.
It might be best to switch off the mwait flag for these AMD CPU
families like it was introduced with commit
f039b754714a422959027cb18bb33760eb8153f0 (x86: Don't use MWAIT on AMD
Family 10)
Re-add the AMD families 10H/11H check and disable the mwait usage for
those.

pat_disable() is __init, which means it goes away after booting is complete.
Unfortunately it is used by the hotplug code if the machine is not
pat-capable, causing a crash.
Fix by marking pat_disable() as __cpuinit.

| x86: use the correct cpuid method to detect MWAIT support for C states
remove the functional effects of this patch and make mwait unconditional.
A future patch will turn off mwait on specific CPUs where that causes
power to be wasted.

The user_regset_view table for the 32-bit regsets on the 64-bit build had
the wrong sizes for the FP regsets. This bug had no user-visible effect
(just on kernel modules using the user_regset interfaces and the like).
But the fix is trivial and risk-free.

Fix this symbol export problem:
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 193 modules
ERROR: "csum_partial" [fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko] undefined!
make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1
make: *** [modules] Error 2
This is due to a known weakness of symbol exports: if a symbol's
only in-core user is an EXPORT_SYMBOL from a lib-y section, the
symbol is not linked in.
The solution is to move the export to x8664_ksyms_64.c - but the real
solution would be to fix kbuild.

After resume on a 2cpu laptop, kernel builds collapse with a sed hang,
sh or make segfault (often on 20295564), real-time signal to cc1 etc.
Several hurdles to jump, but a manually-assisted bisect led to -rc1's
d2bcbad5f3ad38a1c09861bca7e252dde7bb8259 x86: do not zap_low_mappings
in __smp_prepare_cpus. Though the low mappings were removed at bootup,
they were left behind (with Global flags helping to keep them in TLB)
after resume or cpu online, causing the crashes seen.
Reinstate zap_low_mappings (with local __flush_tlb_all) for each cpu_up
on x86_32. This used to be serialized by smp_commenced_mask: that's now
gone, but a low_mappings flag will do. No need for native_smp_cpus_done
to repeat the zap: let mem_init zap BSP's low mappings just like on UP.
(In passing, fix error code from native_cpu_up: do_boot_cpu returns a
variety of diagnostic values, Dprintk what it says but convert to -EIO.
And save_pg_dir separately before zap_low_mappings: doesn't matter now,
but zapping twice in succession wiped out resume's swsusp_pg_dir.)
That worked well on the duo and one quad, but wouldn't boot 3rd or 4th
cpu on P4 Xeon, oopsing just after unlock_ipi_call_lock. The TLB flush
IPI now being sent reveals a long-standing bug: the booting cpu has its
APIC readied in smp_callin at the top of start_secondary, but isn't put
into the cpu_online_map until just before that unlock_ipi_call_lock.
So native_smp_call_function_mask to online cpus would send_IPI_allbutself,
including the cpu just coming up, though it has been excluded from the
count to wait for: by the time it handles the IPI, the call data on
native_smp_call_function_mask's stack may well have been overwritten.
So fall back to send_IPI_mask while cpu_online_map does not match
cpu_callout_map: perhaps there's a better APICological fix to be
made at the start_secondary end, but I wouldn't know that.

Some versions of X used the mprotect workaround to change caching type from UC
to WB, so that it can then use mtrr to program WC for that region [1]. Change
the mmap of pci space through /sys or /proc interfaces from UC to UC_MINUS.
With this change, X will not need to use mprotect workaround to get WC type
since the MTRR mapping type will be honored.
The bug in mprotect that clobbers PAT bits is fixed in a follow on patch. So,
this X workaround will stop working as well.

That patch is buggy. We had an implicit assumption that
dev = NULL for ISA devices that require 24bit DMA.
The recent work on x86 dma_alloc_coherent() breaks the ISA DMA buffer
allocation, which is represented by "dev = NULL" and requires 24bit
DMA implicitly.
