git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Extend tracing option mask to 64 bits The trace options were defined by a 32 bit variable. This limits the tracing instances to have a total of 32 different options. As that limit has been hit, and more options are being added, increase the option mask to a 64 bit number, doubling the number of options available. As this is required for the kprobe topic branches as well as the tracing topic branch, a separate branch was created and merged into both. - Make trace_user_fault_read() available for the rest of tracing The function trace_user_fault_read() is used by trace_marker file read to allow reading user space to be done fast and without locking or allocations. Make this available so that the system call trace events can use it too. - Have system call trace events read user space values Now that the system call trace events callbacks are called in a faultable context, take advantage of this and read the user space buffers for various system calls. For example, show the path name of the openat system call instead of just showing the pointer to that path name in user space. Also show the contents of the buffer of the write system call. Several system call trace events are updated to make tracing into a light weight strace tool for all applications in the system. - Update perf system call tracing to do the same - And a config and syscall_user_buf_size file to control the size of the buffer Limit the amount of data that can be read from user space. The default size is 63 bytes but that can be expanded to 165 bytes. - Allow the persistent ring buffer to print system calls normally The persistent ring buffer prints trace events by their type and ignores the print_fmt. This is because the print_fmt may change from kernel to kernel. As the system call output is fixed by the system call ABI itself, there's no reason to limit that. This makes reading the system call events in the persistent ring buffer much nicer and easier to understand. - Add options to show text offset to function profiler The function profiler that counts the number of times a function is hit currently lists all functions by its name and offset. But this becomes ambiguous when there are several functions with the same name. Add a tracing option that changes the output to be that of '_text+offset' instead. Now a user space tool can use this information to map the '_text+offset' to the unique function it is counting. - Report bad dynamic event command If a bad command is passed to the dynamic_events file, report it properly in the error log. - Clean up tracer options Clean up the tracer option code a bit, by removing some useless code and also using switch statements instead of a series of if statements. - Have tracing options be instance specific Tracers can have their own options (function tracer, irqsoff tracer, function graph tracer, etc). But now that the same tracer can be enabled in multiple trace instances, their options are still global. The API is per instance, thus changing one affects other instances. This isn't even consistent, as the option take affect differently depending on when an tracer started in an instance. Make the options for instances only affect the instance it is changed under. - Optimize pid_list lock contention Whenever the pid_list is read, it uses a spin lock. This happens at every sched switch. Taking the lock at sched switch can be removed by instead using a seqlock counter. - Clean up the trace trigger structures The trigger code uses two different structures to implement a single tigger. This was due to trying to reuse code for the two different types of triggers (always on trigger, and count limited trigger). But by adding a single field to one structure, the other structure could be absorbed into the first structure making he code easier to understand. - Create a bulk garbage collector for trace triggers If user space has triggers for several hundreds of events and then removes them, it can take several seconds to complete. This is because each removal calls tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() that can take hundreds of milliseconds to complete. Instead, create a helper thread that will do the clean up. When a trigger is removed, it will create the kthread if it isn't already created, and then add the trigger to a llist. The kthread will take the items off the llist, call tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(), and then remove the items it took off. It will then check if there's more items to free before sleeping. This makes user space removing all these triggers to finish in less than a second. - Allow function tracing of some of the tracing infrastructure code Because the tracing code can cause recursion issues if it is traced by the function tracer the entire tracing directory disables function tracing. But not all of tracing causes issues if it is traced. Namely, the event tracing code. Add a config that enables some of the tracing code to be traced to help in debugging it. Note, when this is enabled, it does add noise to general function tracing, especially if events are enabled as well (which is a common case). - Add boot-time backup instance for persistent buffer The persistent ring buffer is used mostly for kernel crash analysis in the field. One issue is that if there's a crash, the data in the persistent ring buffer must be read before tracing can begin using it. This slows down the boot process. Once tracing starts in the persistent ring buffer, the old data must be freed and the addresses no longer match and old events can't be in the buffer with new events. Create a way to create a backup buffer that copies the persistent ring buffer at boot up. Then after a crash, the always on tracer can begin immediately as well as the normal boot process while the crash analysis tooling uses the backup buffer. After the backup buffer is finished being read, it can be removed. - Enable function graph args and return address options at the same time Currently the when reading of arguments in the function graph tracer is enabled, the option to record the parent function in the entry event can not be enabled. Update the code so that it can. - Add new struct_offset() helper macro Add a new macro that takes a pointer to a structure and a name of one of its members and it will return the offset of that member. This allows the ring buffer code to simplify the following: From: size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id)); To: size = struct_offset(entry, id) + cnt; There should be other simplifications that this macro can help out with as well * tag 'trace-v6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (42 commits) overflow: Introduce struct_offset() to get offset of member function_graph: Enable funcgraph-args and funcgraph-retaddr to work simultaneously tracing: Add boot-time backup of persistent ring buffer ftrace: Allow tracing of some of the tracing code tracing: Use strim() in trigger_process_regex() instead of skip_spaces() tracing: Add bulk garbage collection of freeing event_trigger_data tracing: Remove unneeded event_mutex lock in event_trigger_regex_release() tracing: Merge struct event_trigger_ops into struct event_command tracing: Remove get_trigger_ops() and add count_func() from trigger ops tracing: Show the tracer options in boot-time created instance ftrace: Avoid redundant initialization in register_ftrace_direct tracing: Remove unused variable in tracing_trace_options_show() fgraph: Make fgraph_no_sleep_time signed tracing: Convert function graph set_flags() to use a switch() statement tracing: Have function graph tracer option sleep-time be per instance tracing: Move graph-time out of function graph options tracing: Have function graph tracer option funcgraph-irqs be per instance trace/pid_list: optimize pid_list->lock contention tracing: Have function graph tracer define options per instance tracing: Have function tracer define options per instance ...
2025-11-26ftrace: Allow tracing of some of the tracing codeSteven Rostedt1-0/+14
There is times when tracing the tracing infrastructure can be useful for debugging the tracing code. Currently all files in the tracing directory are set to "notrace" the functions. Add a new config option FUNCTION_SELF_TRACING that will allow some of the files in the tracing infrastructure to be traced. It requires a config to enable because it will add noise to the function tracer if events and other tracing features are enabled. Tracing functions and events together is quite common, so not tracing the event code should be the default.

2025-11-24ftrace: Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMPMenglong Dong1-0/+12
For now, the "nop" will be replaced with a "call" instruction when a function is hooked by the ftrace. However, sometimes the "call" can break the RSB and introduce extra overhead. Therefore, introduce the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP, which indicate that the ftrace_ops should be called with a "jmp" instead of "call". For now, it is only used by the direct call case. When a direct ftrace_ops is marked with FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP, the last bit of the ops->direct_call will be set to 1. Therefore, we can tell if we should use "jmp" for the callback in ftrace_call_replace().

2025-10-28tracing: Add a config and syscall_user_buf_size file to limit amount writtenSteven Rostedt1-0/+14
When a system call that can copy user space addresses into the ring buffer, it can copy up to 511 bytes of data. This can waste precious ring buffer space if the user isn't interested in the output. Add a new file "syscall_user_buf_size" that gets initialized to a new config CONFIG_SYSCALL_BUF_SIZE_DEFAULT that defaults to 63. The config also is used to limit how much perf can read from user space. Also lower the max down to 165, as this isn't to record everything that a system call may be passing through to the kernel. 165 is more than enough. The reason for 165 is because adding one for the nul terminating byte, as well as possibly needing to append the "..." string turns it into 170 bytes. As this needs to save up to 3 arguments and 3 * 170 is 510 which fits nicely in 512 bytes (a power of 2).

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing When tracefs was first introduced back in 2014, the directory /sys/kernel/tracing was added and is the designated location to mount tracefs. To keep backward compatibility, tracefs was auto-mounted in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing as well. All distros now mount tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing. Having it seen in two different locations has lead to various issues and inconsistencies. The VFS folks have to also maintain debugfs_create_automount() for this single user. It's been over 10 years. Tooling and scripts should start replacing the debugfs location with the tracefs one. The reason tracefs was created in the first place was to allow access to the tracing facilities without the need to configure debugfs into the kernel. Using tracefs should now be more robust. A new config is created: CONFIG_TRACEFS_AUTOMOUNT_DEPRECATED which is default y, so that the kernel is still built with the automount. This config allows those that want to remove the automount from debugfs to do so. When tracefs is accessed from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, the following printk is triggerd: pr_warn("NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030\n"); This gives users another 5 years to fix their scripts. - Use queue_rcu_work() instead of call_rcu() for freeing event filters The number of filters to be free can be many depending on the number of events within an event system. Freeing them from softirq context can potentially cause undesired latency. Use the RCU workqueue to free them instead. - Remove pointless memory barriers in latency code Memory barriers were added to some of the latency code a long time ago with the idea of "making them visible", but that's not what memory barriers are for. They are to synchronize access between different variables. There was no synchronization here making them pointless. - Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format When LLVM is used to compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, some of the format fields get expanded with the following: field:const char * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0; Turns into: field:const char __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0; This confuses parsers. Add code to strip these tags from the strings. - Add eprobe config option CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS Eprobes were added back in 5.15 but were only enabled when another probe was enabled (kprobe, fprobe, uprobe, etc). The eprobes had no config option of their own. Add one as they should be a separate entity. It's default y to keep with the old kernels but still has dependencies on TRACING and HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API. - Add eprobe documentation When eprobes were added back in 5.15 no documentation was added to describe them. This needs to be rectified. - Replace open coded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu() - Have preemptirq_delay_run() use off-stack CPU mask - Remove obsolete comment about pelt_cfs event DECLARE_TRACE() appends "_tp" to trace events now, but the comment above pelt_cfs still mentioned appending it manually. - Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag The SOFT_MODE flag was required when the soft enabling and disabling of trace events was first introduced. But there was a bug with this approach as it only worked for a single instance. When multiple users required soft disabling and disabling the code was changed to have a ref count. The SOFT_MODE flag is now set iff the ref count is non zero. This is redundant and just reading the ref count is good enough. - Fix typo in comment * tag 'trace-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: Documentation: tracing: Add documentation about eprobes tracing: Have eprobes have their own config option tracing: Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format tracing: Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs in debugfs tracing: Fix comment in trace_module_remove_events() tracing: Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag tracing: Remove pointless memory barriers tracing/sched: Remove obsolete comment on suffixes kernel: trace: preemptirq_delay_test: use offstack cpu mask tracing: Use queue_rcu_work() to free filters tracing: Replace opencoded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu()

2025-07-23tracing: Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs in debugfsSteven Rostedt1-0/+13
In January 2015, tracefs was created to allow access to the tracing infrastructure without needing to compile in debugfs. When tracefs is configured, the directory /sys/kernel/tracing will exist and tooling is expected to use that path to access the tracing infrastructure. To allow backward compatibility, when debugfs is mounted, it would automount tracefs in its "tracing" directory so that tooling that had hard coded /sys/kernel/debug/tracing would still work. It has been over 10 years since the new interface was introduced, and all tooling should now be using it. Start the process of deprecating the old path so that it doesn't need to be maintained anymore. A new config is added to allow distributions to disable automounting of tracefs on debugfs. If /sys/kernel/debug/tracing is accessed, a pr_warn() will trigger stating: "NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030" Expect to remove this feature in 5 years (2030).

2025-07-22tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORDSteven Rostedt1-14/+4
Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other architectures can still function until they too have been updated. The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where applicable.

2025-07-22ftrace: Make DYNAMIC_FTRACE always enabled for architectures that support itSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
ftrace has two flavors: 1) static: Where every function always calls the ftrace trampoline 2) dynamic: Where each function has nops that can be changed on demand to jump to the ftrace trampoline when needed. The static flavor has very high performance overhead and was only created to make it easier for architectures to implement the dynamic flavor. An architecture developer can first implement the static ftrace to make sure the trampolines work before working on the more complicated dynamic aspect of ftrace. Once the architecture can support dynamic ftrace, there's no reason to continue to support the static flavor. In fact, the static flavor tends to bitrot and bugs start to appear in them. Remove the prompt to pick DYNAMIC_FTRACE and simply enable it if the architecture supports it.

2024-12-26fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracerMasami Hiramatsu (Google)1-5/+3
Rewrite fprobe implementation on function-graph tracer. Major API changes are: - 'nr_maxactive' field is deprecated. - This depends on CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS or !CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS. So currently works only on x86_64. - Currently the entry size is limited in 15 * sizeof(long). - If there is too many fprobe exit handler set on the same function, it will fail to probe.

2024-10-05function_graph: Support recording and printing the function return addressDonglin Peng1-0/+10
When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long. This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs. To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return value, while '<-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to make it look more like the function tracer. A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return address. See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled. 0) | load_elf_binary() { /* <-bprm_execve+0x249/0x600 */ 0) | load_elf_phdrs() { /* <-load_elf_binary+0x84/0x1730 */ 0) | __kmalloc_noprof() { /* <-load_elf_phdrs+0x4a/0xb0 */ 0) 3.657 us | __cond_resched(); /* <-__kmalloc_noprof+0x28c/0x390 ret=0x0 */ 0) + 24.335 us | } /* __kmalloc_noprof ret=0xffff8882007f3000 */ 0) | kernel_read() { /* <-load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 */ 0) | rw_verify_area() { /* <-kernel_read+0x2b/0x50 */ 0) | security_file_permission() { /* <-kernel_read+0x2b/0x50 */ 0) | selinux_file_permission() { /* <-security_file_permission+0x26/0x40 */ 0) | __inode_security_revalidate() { /* <-selinux_file_permission+0x6d/0x140 */ 0) 2.034 us | __cond_resched(); /* <-__inode_security_revalidate+0x5f/0x80 ret=0x0 */ 0) 6.602 us | } /* __inode_security_revalidate ret=0x0 */ 0) 2.214 us | avc_policy_seqno(); /* <-selinux_file_permission+0x107/0x140 ret=0x0 */ 0) + 16.670 us | } /* selinux_file_permission ret=0x0 */ 0) + 20.809 us | } /* security_file_permission ret=0x0 */ 0) + 25.217 us | } /* rw_verify_area ret=0x0 */ 0) | __kernel_read() { /* <-load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 */ 0) | ext4_file_read_iter() { /* <-__kernel_read+0x160/0x2e0 */ Then, we can use the faddr2line to locate the source code, for example: $ ./scripts/faddr2line ./vmlinux load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0: elf_read at fs/binfmt_elf.c:471 (inlined by) load_elf_phdrs at fs/binfmt_elf.c:531 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20240915032912.1118397-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202409150605.HgUmU8ea-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Donglin Peng <dolinux.peng@gmail.com> [ Rebased to handle text_delta offsets ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2024-06-12tracing: Build event generation tests only as modulesMasami Hiramatsu (Google)1-2/+2
The kprobes and synth event generation test modules add events and lock (get a reference) those event file reference in module init function, and unlock and delete it in module exit function. This is because those are designed for playing as modules. If we make those modules as built-in, those events are left locked in the kernel, and never be removed. This causes kprobe event self-test failure as below.

This approach bypasses per-cpu nocb-lists thus sync-users do not depend on nocb-list length and how fast regular callbacks are processed. - RCU tasks: switch tasks RCU grace periods to sleep at TASK_IDLE priority, fix some comments, add some diagnostic warning to the exit_tasks_rcu_start() and fix a buffer overflow in the show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread(). - RCU torture: Increase memory to guest OS, fix a Tasks Rude RCU testing, some updates for TREE09, dump mode information to debug GP kthread state, remove redundant READ_ONCE(), fix some comments about RCU_TORTURE_PIPE_LEN and pipe_count, remove some redundant pointer initialization, fix a hung splat task by when the rcutorture tests start to exit, fix invalid context warning, add '--do-kvfree' parameter to torture test and use slow register unregister callbacks only for rcutype test. * tag 'rcu.next.v6.10' of https://github.com/urezki/linux: (48 commits) rcutorture: Use rcu_gp_slow_register/unregister() only for rcutype test torture: Scale --do-kvfree test time rcutorture: Fix invalid context warning when enable srcu barrier testing rcutorture: Make stall-tasks directly exit when rcutorture tests end rcutorture: Removing redundant function pointer initialization rcutorture: Make rcutorture support print rcu-tasks gp state rcutorture: Use the gp_kthread_dbg operation specified by cur_ops rcutorture: Re-use value stored to ->rtort_pipe_count instead of re-reading rcutorture: Fix rcu_torture_one_read() pipe_count overflow comment rcutorture: Remove extraneous rcu_torture_pipe_update_one() READ_ONCE() rcu: Allocate WQ with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bit set rcu: Support direct wake-up of synchronize_rcu() users rcu: Add a trace event for synchronize_rcu_normal() rcu: Reduce synchronize_rcu() latency rcu: Fix buffer overflow in print_cpu_stall_info() rcu: Mollify sparse with RCU guard rcu-tasks: Fix show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread buffer overflow rcu-tasks: Fix the comments for tasks_rcu_exit_srcu_stall_timer rcu-tasks: Replace exit_tasks_rcu_start() initialization with WARN_ON_ONCE() rcu: Remove redundant CONFIG_PROVE_RCU #if condition ...
