2009-03-10tracing: update comments to match event code macrosSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up / comments The comments that described the ftrace macros to manipulate the TRACE_EVENT and TRACE_FORMAT macros no longer match the code. This patch updates them. Reported-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-10tracing: flip the TP_printk and TP_fast_assign in the TRACE_EVENT macroSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up In trying to stay consistant with the C style format in the TRACE_EVENT macro, it makes more sense to do the printk after the assigning of the variables. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-10tracing: add back the available_events fileSteven Rostedt
The event directory files type and available_types were no longer needed with the new TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macros, they were deleted. But by accident the available_events file was also removed. This patch brings it back. Reported-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-10tracing: do not allow modifying the ftrace events via the event filesSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to prevent crash on calling NULL function pointer The ftrace internal records have their format exported via the event system under the ftrace subsystem. These are only for exporting the format to allow binary readers to be able to parse them in a binary output. The ftrace subsystem events can only be enabled via the ftrace tracers and do not have a registering function. The event files expect the event record to have registering function and will call it directly. Passing in a ftrace subsystem event will cause the kernel to crash because it will execute a NULL pointer. This patch prevents the ftrace subsystem from being viewable to the event enabling files.

2009-03-10tracing: fix printk format specifierSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up The offsetof and sizeof are of type size_t, and instead of typecasting them to unsigned int for printk formatting, one could just use %zu. Reported-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-10tracing: remove obsolete TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macroSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is no longer used by trace points and only the DECLARE_TRACE, TRACE_FORMAT or TRACE_EVENT macros should be used by them. Although the TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro is still used by the internal tracing utility, it should not be used in core kernel code. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-10tracing: new format for specialized trace pointsSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up and enhancement The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro looks quite ugly and is limited in its ability to save data as well as to print the record out. Working with Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old macro, and is more obvious to what it does. Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the sched_switch trace point. The old method looked like this: TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_FMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d", prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid), TRACE_STRUCT( TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio) TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN], next_comm, TP_CMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN))) TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid) TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio) ), TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d") ); The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields. The new method: /* * Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler: * * (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events, * but used by the latency tracer plugin. ) */ TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch, TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev, struct task_struct *next), TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next), TP_STRUCT__entry( __array( char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, prev_pid ) __field( int, prev_prio ) __array( char, next_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN ) __field( pid_t, next_pid ) __field( int, next_prio ) ), TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]", __entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio, __entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio), TP_fast_assign( memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->prev_pid = prev->pid; __entry->prev_prio = prev->prio; memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN); __entry->next_pid = next->pid; __entry->next_prio = next->prio; ) ); This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts: TP_PROTO: the proto type of the trace point TP_ARGS: the arguments of the trace point TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer TP_printk: the printk format TP_fast_assign: the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data from the trace file. The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function, where the __entry is the handle to the record. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-10tracing: use generic __stringifySteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up This removes the custom made STR(x) macros in the tracer and uses the generic __stringify macro instead. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-10tracing: replace TP<var> with TP_<var>Steven Rostedt
Impact: clean up The macros TPPROTO, TPARGS, TPFMT, TPRAWFMT, and TPCMD all look a bit ugly. This patch adds an underscore to their names. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-10tracing: typecast sizeof and offsetof to unsigned intSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix compiler warnings On x86_64 sizeof and offsetof are treated as long, where as on x86_32 they are int. This patch typecasts them to unsigned int to avoid one arch giving warnings while the other does not. Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

2009-03-06tracing/core: drop the old trace_printk() implementation in favour of ↵Frederic Weisbecker
trace_bprintk() Impact: faster and lighter tracing Now that we have trace_bprintk() which is faster and consume lesser memory than trace_printk() and has the same purpose, we can now drop the old implementation in favour of the binary one from trace_bprintk(), which means we move all the implementation of trace_bprintk() to trace_printk(), so the Api doesn't change except that we must now use trace_seq_bprintk() to print the TRACE_PRINT entries. Some changes result of this: - Previously, trace_bprintk depended of a single tracer and couldn't work without. This tracer has been dropped and the whole implementation of trace_printk() (like the module formats management) is now integrated in the tracing core (comes with CONFIG_TRACING), though we keep the file trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c - changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries. - change a bit trace_printk/trace_vprintk macros to support non-builtin formats constants, and fix 'const' qualifiers warnings. But this is all transparent for developers. - etc... V2: - Rebase against last changes - Fix mispell on the changelog V3: - Rebase against last changes (moving trace_printk() to kernel.h) Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> LKML-Reference: <1236356510-8381-5-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: add a generic printk() for tracing, like trace_printk() trace_bprintk() uses the infrastructure to record events on ring_buffer. [ fweisbec@gmail.com: ported to latest -tip, made it work if !CONFIG_MODULES, never free the format strings from modules because we can't keep track of them and conditionnaly create the ftrace format strings section (reported by Steven Rostedt) ] Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> LKML-Reference: <1236356510-8381-4-git-send-email-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-03-06tracing: infrastructure for supporting binary recordLai Jiangshan
Impact: save on memory for tracing Current tracers are typically using a struct(like struct ftrace_entry, struct ctx_switch_entry, struct special_entr etc...)to record a binary event. These structs can only record a their own kind of events. A new kind of tracer need a new struct and a lot of code too handle it. So we need a generic binary record for events. This infrastructure is for this purpose.

2009-03-06tracing: fix deadlock when setting set_ftrace_pidKOSAKI Motohiro
Impact: fix deadlock while using set_ftrace_pid Reproducer: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid then, console becomes hung. Details: when writing set_ftracepid, kernel callstack is following ftrace_pid_write() mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock); ftrace_update_pid_func() mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock); mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock); mutex_unlock(&ftrace_lock); then, system always deadlocks when ftrace_pid_write() is called. In past days, ftrace_pid_write() used ftrace_start_lock, but commit e6ea44e9b4c12325337cd1c06103cd515a1c02b2 consolidated ftrace_start_lock to ftrace_lock.

2009-03-05tracing: add format files for ftrace default entriesSteven Rostedt
Impact: allow user apps to read binary format of basic ftrace entries Currently, only defined raw events export their formats so a binary reader can parse them. There's no reason that the default ftrace entries can't export their formats. This patch adds a subsystem called "ftrace" in the events directory that includes the ftrace entries for basic ftrace recorded items. These only have three files in the events directory: type : printf available_types : printf format : format for the event entry For example: # cat /debug/tracing/events/ftrace/wakeup/format name: wakeup ID: 3 format: field:unsigned char type; offset:0; size:1; field:unsigned char flags; offset:1; size:1; field:unsigned char preempt_count; offset:2; size:1; field:int pid; offset:4; size:4; field:int tgid; offset:8; size:4; field:unsigned int prev_pid; offset:12; size:4; field:unsigned char prev_prio; offset:16; size:1; field:unsigned char prev_state; offset:17; size:1; field:unsigned int next_pid; offset:20; size:4; field:unsigned char next_prio; offset:24; size:1; field:unsigned char next_state; offset:25; size:1; field:unsigned int next_cpu; offset:28; size:4; print fmt: "%u:%u:%u ==+ %u:%u:%u [%03u]" Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-05tracing: move print of event format to separate fileSteven Rostedt

2009-03-05tracing/function-graph-tracer: use the more lightweight local clockFrederic Weisbecker
Impact: decrease hangs risks with the graph tracer on slow systems Since the function graph tracer can spend too much time on timer interrupts, it's better now to use the more lightweight local clock. Anyway, the function graph traces are more reliable on a per cpu trace.

2009-03-05tracing: rename ftrace_printk() => trace_printk()Ingo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Use a more generic name - this also allows the prototype to move to kernel.h and be generally available to kernel developers who want to do some quick tracing. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-03-04tracing: have latency tracers set the latency formatSteven Rostedt
The latency tracers (irqsoff, preemptoff, preemptirqsoff, and wakeup) are pretty useless with the default output format. This patch makes them automatically enable the latency format when they are selected. They also record the state of the latency option, and if it was not enabled when selected, they disable it on reset. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-04tracing: consolidate print_lat_fmt and print_trace_fmtSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up Both print_lat_fmt and print_trace_fmt do pretty much the same thing except for one different function call. This patch consolidates the two functions and adds an if statement to perform the difference. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-04tracing: remove extra latency_trace method from trace structureSteven Rostedt
Impact: clean up The trace and latency_trace function pointers are identical for every tracer but the function tracer. The differences in the function tracer are trivial (latency output puts paranthesis around parent). This patch removes the latency_trace pointer and all prints will now just use the trace output function pointer. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-04tracing: add latency output format optionSteven Rostedt
With the removal of the latency_trace file, we lost the ability to see some of the finer details in a trace. Like the state of interrupts enabled, the preempt count, need resched, and if we are in an interrupt handler, softirq handler or not. This patch simply creates an option to bring back the old format. This also removes the warning about an unused variable that held the latency_trace file operations. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-04tracing: fix seq read from trace filesSteven Rostedt
The buffer used by trace_seq was updated incorrectly. Instead of consuming what was actually read, it consumed the rest of the buffer on reads. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-04tracing: do not return EFAULT if read copied anythingSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix trace read to conform to standards Andrew Morton, Theodore Tso and H. Peter Anvin brought to my attention that a userspace read should not return -EFAULT if it succeeded in copying anything. It should only return -EFAULT if it failed to copy at all. This patch modifies the check of copy_from_user and updates the return code appropriately. I also used H. Peter Anvin's short cut rule to just test ret == count. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-04ring-buffer: fix timestamp in partial ring_buffer_page_readSteven Rostedt
If a partial ring_buffer_page_read happens, then some of the incremental timestamps may be lost. This patch writes the recent timestamp into the page that is passed back to the caller. A partial ring_buffer_page_read is where the full page would not be written back to the user, and instead, just part of the page is copied to the user. A full page would be a page swap with the ring buffer and the timestamps would be correct. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
2009-03-04tracing: add cpu_file intialization for ftrace_dumpSteven Rostedt
Impact: fix to ftrace_dump output corruption The commit: b04cc6b1f6398b0e0b60d37e27ce51b4899672ec tracing/core: introduce per cpu tracing files added a new field to the iterator called cpu_file. This was a handle to differentiate between the per cpu trace output files and the all cpu "trace" file. The all cpu "trace" file required setting this to TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU. The problem is that the ftrace_dump sets up its own iterator but was not updated to handle this change. The result was only CPU 0 printing out on crash and a lot of "<0>"'s also being printed.

2009-03-03tracing: add binary buffer files for use with spliceSteven Rostedt
Impact: new feature This patch creates a directory of files that correspond to the per CPU ring buffers. These are binary files and are made to be used with splice.

2009-03-03ring-buffer: make ring_buffer_read_page read from start on partial pageSteven Rostedt
Impact: dont leave holes in read buffer page The ring_buffer_read_page swaps a given page with the reader page of the ring buffer, if certain conditions are set: 1) requested length is big enough to hold entire page data 2) a writer is not currently on the page 3) the page is not partially consumed. Instead of swapping with the supplied page. It copies the data to the supplied page instead. But currently the data is copied in the same offset as the source page. This causes a hole at the start of the reader page. This complicates the use of this function. Instead, it should copy the data at the beginning of the function and update the index fields accordingly. Other small clean ups are also done in this patch.

2009-03-02x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall holeRoland McGrath
On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system call. A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80. In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use the wrong system call number table. The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT instead of TIF_IA32. Here is an example exploit: /* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64 There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32. The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could be any chmod call). The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly. A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <assert.h> #include <inttypes.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <linux/prctl.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <asm/unistd.h> int main (int argc, char **argv) { char buf[100]; static const char dot[] = "."; long ret; unsigned st[24]; if (prctl (PR_SET_SECCOMP, 1, 0, 0, 0) != 0) perror ("prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP) -- not compiled into kernel?"); #ifdef __x86_64__ assert ((uintptr_t) dot < (1UL << 32)); asm ("int $0x80 # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (15), "b" (dot), "c" (0777)); ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld (check mode on .!)\n", ret); #elif defined __i386__ asm (".code32\n" "pushl %%cs\n" "pushl $2f\n" "ljmpl $0x33, $1f\n" ".code64\n" "1: syscall # %0 <- %1(%2 %3)\n" "lretl\n" ".code32\n" "2:" : "=a" (ret) : "0" (4), "D" (dot), "S" (&st)); if (ret == 0) ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "stat . -> st_uid=%u\n", st[7]); else ret = snprintf (buf, sizeof buf, "result %ld\n", ret); #else # error "not this one" #endif write (1, buf, ret); syscall (__NR_exit, 1); return 2; } Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> [ I don't know if anybody actually uses seccomp, but it's enabled in at least both Fedora and SuSE kernels, so maybe somebody is. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
