2009-10-07ftrace: check for failure for all conversionsSteven Rostedt
Due to legacy code from back when the dynamic tracer used a daemon, only core kernel code was checking for failures. This is no longer the case. We must check for failures any time we perform text modifications. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-10-07tracing: correct module boundaries for ftrace_releasejolsa@redhat.com

2009-10-01tracing: Fix infinite recursion in ftrace_update_pid_func()Matt Fleming
When CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST is enabled __ftrace_trace_function contains the current trace function, not ftrace_trace_function. In ftrace_update_pid_func() we currently incorrectly assign the value of ftrace_trace_function to __ftrace_trace_funcion before returning. Without this patch it is possible to execute an infinite recursion whereby ftrace_test_stop_func() calls __ftrace_trace_function, which was assigned ftrace_test_stop_func() in ftrace_update_pid_func().

2009-06-02function-graph: always initialize task ret_stackSteven Rostedt
On creating a new task while running the function graph tracer, if we fail to allocate the ret_stack, and then fail the fork, the code will free the parent ret_stack. This is because the child duplicated the parent and currently points to the parent's ret_stack. This patch always initializes the task's ret_stack to NULL. [ Impact: prevent crash of parent on low memory during fork ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-02function-graph: add memory barriers for accessing task's ret_stackSteven Rostedt
The code that handles the tasks ret_stack allocation for every task assumes that only an interrupt can cause issues (even though interrupts are disabled). In reality, the code is allocating the ret_stack for tasks that may be running on other CPUs and there are not efficient memory barriers to handle this case. [ Impact: prevent crash due to using of uninitialized ret_stack variables ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-02function-graph: enable the stack after initialization of other variablesSteven Rostedt
The function graph tracer checks if the task_struct has ret_stack defined to know if it is OK or not to use it. The initialization is done for all tasks by one process, but the idle tasks use the same initialization used by new tasks. If an interrupt happens on an idle task that just had the ret_stack created, but before the rest of the initialization took place, then we can corrupt the return address of the functions. This patch moves the setting of the task_struct's ret_stack to after the other variables have been initialized. [ Impact: prevent kernel panic on idle task when starting function graph ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-02function-graph: only allocate init tasks if it was not already doneSteven Rostedt
When the function graph tracer is enabled, it calls the initialization needed for the init tasks that would be called on all created tasks. The problem is that this is called every time the function graph tracer is enabled, and the ret_stack is allocated for the idle tasks each time. Thus, the old ret_stack is lost and a memory leak is created. This is also dangerous because if an interrupt happened on another CPU with the init task and the ret_stack is replaced, we then lose all the return pointers for the interrupt, and a crash would take place. [ Impact: fix memory leak and possible crash due to race ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-01ftrace: do not profile functions when disabledSteven Rostedt
A race was found that if one were to enable and disable the function profiler repeatedly, then the system can panic. This was because a profiled function may be preempted just before disabling interrupts. While the profiler is disabled and then reenabled, the preempted function could start again, and access the hash as it is being initialized. This just adds a check in the irq disabled part to check if the profiler is enabled, and if it is not then it will just exit. When the system is disabled, the profile_enabled variable is cleared before calling the unregistering of the function profiler. This unregistering calls stop machine which also acts as a synchronize schedule. [ Impact: fix panic in enabling/disabling function profiler ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2009-06-01ftrace: add kernel command line function filteringSteven Rostedt
When using ftrace=function on the command line to trace functions on boot up, one can not filter out functions that are commonly called. This patch adds two new ftrace command line commands. ftrace_notrace=function-list ftrace_filter=function-list Where function-list is a comma separated list of functions to filter. The ftrace_notrace will make the functions listed not be included in the function tracing, and ftrace_filter will only trace the functions listed. These two act the same as the debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_notrace and debugfs/tracing/set_ftrace_filter respectively. The simple glob expressions that are allowed by the filter files can also be used by the command line interface. ftrace_notrace=rcu*,*lock,*spin* Will not trace any function that starts with rcu, ends with lock, or has the word spin in it. Note, if the self tests are enabled, they may interfere with the filtering set by the command lines. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2009-04-17ftrace: use module notifier for function tracerSteven Rostedt
The hooks in the module code for the function tracer must be called before any of that module code runs. The function tracer hooks modify the module (replacing calls to mcount to nops). If the code is executed while the change occurs, then the CPU can take a GPF. To handle the above with a bit of paranoia, I originally implemented the hooks as calls directly from the module code. After examining the notifier calls, it looks as though the start up notify is called before any of the module's code is executed. This makes the use of the notify safe with ftrace. Only the startup notify is required to be "safe". The shutdown simply removes the entries from the ftrace function list, and does not modify any code. This change has another benefit. It removes a issue with a reverse dependency in the mutexes of ftrace_lock and module_mutex.

2009-03-25tracing: remove on the fly allocator from function profilerSteven Rostedt
Impact: safer code The on the fly allocator for the function profiler was to save memory. But at the expense of stability. Although it survived several tests, allocating from the function tracer is just too risky, just to save space. This patch removes the allocator and simply allocates enough entries at start up. Each function gets a profiling structure of 40 bytes. With an average of 20K functions, and this is for each CPU, we have 800K per online CPU. This is not too bad, at least for non-embedded.

"Because when we call ftrace_free_rec we change the rec->ip to point to the next record in the chain. Something is very wrong if rec->ip >= s && rec->ip < e and the record is already free." "Note, use FTRACE_WARN_ON() macro. This way it shuts down ftrace if it is hit and helps to avoid further damage later." -- Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Zhao Lei <zhaolei@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-03-24function-graph: add option to calculate graph time or notSteven Rostedt
graph time is the time that a function is executing another function. Thus if function A calls B, if graph-time is set, then the time for A includes B. This is the default behavior. But if graph-time is off, then the time spent executing B is subtracted from A. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
