2026-08-08ftrace: Fix off-by-one fentry site disable in ftrace_free_mem()Josh Poimboeuf1-1/+5
When a module's init text is freed, do_init_module() calls ftrace_free_mem() with a half-open [start, end) range. However the ftrace_cmp_recs() comparator treats the upper bound as inclusive, as all its other users do, passing 'ip + size - 1'. So ftrace_free_mem() can delete a record sitting exactly at 'end', which is outside the freed range. For a kernel without CFI or IBT, the first record of a function is at the function start, which for the first function in a module is also the base of its text allocation. As the module allocator packs its regions, that address is often the 'end' passed by a neighboring module's do_init_module(), causing the first function's ftrace location to get disabled, preventing an attempt to livepatch it: livepatch: failed to find location for function 'pcspkr_probe' Convert the exclusive end to the inclusive 'end - 1' the comparator expects, and return early for an empty range to avoid the subtraction from underflowing when the init text size is zero.

2026-07-24ftrace: Add global mutex to serialize trace_parser accessTengda Wu1-0/+13
In ftrace, the trace_parser structure is allocated and initialized when a trace file is opened, and is subsequently used across write and release handlers to parse user input. The affected handler paths and their specific functions are: - Open paths: ftrace_regex_open(), ftrace_graph_open() - Write paths: ftrace_regex_write(), ftrace_graph_write() - Release paths: ftrace_regex_release(), ftrace_graph_release() If userspace opens a trace file descriptor and shares it across multiple threads, concurrent write calls will race on the parser's internal state, specifically the 'idx', 'cont', and 'buffer' fields, leading to corrupted input or undefined behavior. Fix this by adding a global mutex, parser_lock, to serialize all access to trace_parser across write and release paths, preventing concurrent corruption of parser state.

Move the __printf() attribute around for when debugging is not enabled the warning will go away - Remove redundant check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED in event_filter_write() The FREED flag is checked in the call to event_file_file() and then checked again right afterward, which is unneeded - Clean up event_file_file() and event_file_data() helpers These helper functions played a different role in the past, but now with eventfs, the READ_ONCE() isn't needed. Simplify the code a bit and also add a warning to event_file_data() if the file or its data is not present - Remove updating file->private_data in tracing open All access to the file private data is handled by the helper functions, which do not use file->private_data. Stop updating it on open - Show ENUM names in function arguments via BTF in function tracing When showing the function arguments when func-args option is set for function tracing, if one of the arguments is found to be an enum, show the name of the enum instead of its number - Add new trace_call__##name() API for tracepoints Tracepoints are enabled via static_branch() blocks, where when not enabled, there's only a nop that is in the code where the execution will just skip over it. When tracing is enabled, the nop is converted to a direct jump to the tracepoint code. Sometimes more calculations are required to be performed to update the parameters of the tracepoint. In this case, trace_##name##_enabled() is called which is a static_branch() that gets enabled only when the tracepoint is enabled. This allows the extra calculations to also be skipped by the nop: if (trace_foo_enabled()) { x = bar(); trace_foo(x); } Where the x=bar() is only performed when foo is enabled. The problem with this approach is that there's now two static_branch() calls. One for checking if the tracepoint is enabled, and then again to know if the tracepoint should be called. The second one is redundant Introduce trace_call__foo() that will call the foo() tracepoint directly without doing a static_branch(): if (trace_foo_enabled()) { x = bar(); trace_call__foo(); } - Update various locations to use the new trace_call__##name() API - Move snapshot code out of trace.c Cleaning up trace.c to not be a "dump all", move the snapshot code out of it and into a new trace_snapshot.c file - Clean up some "%*.s" to "%*s" - Allow boot kernel command line options to be called multiple times Have options like: ftrace_filter=foo ftrace_filter=bar ftrace_filter=zoo Equal to: ftrace_filter=foo,bar,zoo - Fix ipi_raise event CPU field to be a CPU field The ipi_raise target_cpus field is defined as a __bitmask(). There is now a __cpumask() field definition. Update the field to use that - Have hist_field_name() use a snprintf() and not a series of strcat() It's safer to use snprintf() that a series of strcat() - Fix tracepoint regfunc balancing A tracepoint can define a "reg" and "unreg" function that gets called before the tracepoint is enabled, and after it is disabled respectively. But on error, after the "reg" func is called and the tracepoint is not enabled, the "unreg" function is not called to tear down what the "reg" function performed - Fix output that shows what histograms are enabled Event variables are displayed incorrectly in the histogram output Instead of "sched.sched_wakeup.$var", it is showing "$sched.sched_wakeup.var" where the '$' is in the incorrect location - Some other simple cleanups * tag 'trace-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (24 commits) selftests/ftrace: Add test case for fully-qualified variable references tracing: Fix fully-qualified variable reference printing in histograms tracepoint: balance regfunc() on func_add() failure in tracepoint_add_func() tracing: Rebuild full_name on each hist_field_name() call tracing: Report ipi_raise target CPUs as cpumask tracing: Remove duplicate latency_fsnotify() stub tracing: Preserve repeated trace_trigger boot parameters tracing: Append repeated boot-time tracing parameters tracing: Remove spurious default precision from show_event_trigger/filter formats cpufreq: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites tracing: Remove tracing_alloc_snapshot() when snapshot isn't defined tracing: Move snapshot code out of trace.c and into trace_snapshot.c mm: damon: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites btrfs: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites spi: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites i2c: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites kernel: Use trace_call__##name() at guarded tracepoint call sites tracepoint: Add trace_call__##name() API tracing: trace_mmap.h: fix a kernel-doc warning tracing: Pretty-print enum parameters in function arguments ...
2026-04-01ftrace: Use kallsyms binary search for single-symbol lookupAndrey Grodzovsky1-0/+22
When ftrace_lookup_symbols() is called with a single symbol (cnt == 1), use kallsyms_lookup_name() for O(log N) binary search instead of the full linear scan via kallsyms_on_each_symbol(). ftrace_lookup_symbols() was designed for batch resolution of many symbols in a single pass. For large cnt this is efficient: a single O(N) walk over all symbols with O(log cnt) binary search into the sorted input array. But for cnt == 1 it still decompresses all ~200K kernel symbols only to match one. kallsyms_lookup_name() uses the sorted kallsyms index and needs only ~17 decompressions for a single lookup. This is the common path for kprobe.session with exact function names, where libbpf sends one symbol per BPF_LINK_CREATE syscall. If binary lookup fails (duplicate symbol names where the first match is not ftrace-instrumented), the function falls through to the existing linear scan path.

2026-03-31tracing: Append repeated boot-time tracing parametersWesley Atwell1-4/+8
Some tracing boot parameters already accept delimited value lists, but their __setup() handlers keep only the last instance seen at boot. Make repeated instances append to the same boot-time buffer in the format each parser already consumes. Use a shared trace_append_boot_param() helper for the ftrace filters, trace_options, and kprobe_event boot parameters. This also lets Bootconfig array values work naturally when they expand to repeated param=value entries. Before this change, only the last instance from each repeated parameter survived boot.

The modify logic registers temporary ftrace_ops object (tmp_ops) to trigger the slow path for all direct callers to be able to safely modify attached addresses. At the moment we use ops->func_hash for tmp_ops filter, which represents all the systems attachments. It's faster to use just the passed hash filter, which contains only the modified sites and is always a subset of the ops->func_hash.

2026-03-03ftrace: Disable preemption in the tracepoint callbacks handling filtered pidsSteven Rostedt1-0/+2
When function trace PID filtering is enabled, the function tracer will attach a callback to the fork tracepoint as well as the exit tracepoint that will add the forked child PID to the PID filtering list as well as remove the PID that is exiting. Commit a46023d5616e ("tracing: Guard __DECLARE_TRACE() use of __DO_TRACE_CALL() with SRCU-fast") removed the disabling of preemption when calling tracepoint callbacks. The callbacks used for the PID filtering accounting depended on preemption being disabled, and now the trigger a "suspicious RCU usage" warning message. Make them explicitly disable preemption.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds1-15/+15
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' | xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/' to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL argument to just drop that argument. Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered: they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically. For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate conversion. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "User visible changes: - Add an entry into MAINTAINERS file for RUST versions of code There's now RUST code for tracing and static branches. To differentiate that code from the C code, add entries in for the RUST version (with "[RUST]" around it) so that the right maintainers get notified on changes. - New bitmask-list option added to tracefs When this is set, bitmasks in trace event are not displayed as hex numbers, but instead as lists: e.g. 0-5,7,9 instead of 0000015f - New show_event_filters file in tracefs Instead of having to search all events/*/*/filter for any active filters enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_filters will list them so that there's only one file that needs to be examined to see if any filters are active. - New show_event_triggers file in tracefs Instead of having to search all events/*/*/trigger for any active triggers enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_triggers will list them so that there's only one file that needs to be examined to see if any triggers are active. - Have traceoff_on_warning disable trace pintk buffer too Recently recording of trace_printk() could go to other trace instances instead of the top level instance. But if traceoff_on_warning triggers, it doesn't stop the buffer with trace_printk() and that data can easily be lost by being overwritten. Have traceoff_on_warning also disable the instance that has trace_printk() being written to it. - Update the hist_debug file to show what function the field uses When CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled, a hist_debug file exists for every event. This displays the internal data of any histogram enabled for that event. But it is lacking the function that is called to process one of its fields. This is very useful information that was missing when debugging histograms. - Up the histogram stack size from 16 to 31 Stack traces can be used as keys for event histograms. Currently the size of the stack that is stored is limited to just 16 entries. But the storage space in the histogram is 256 bytes, meaning that it can store up to 31 entries (plus one for the count of entries). Instead of letting that space go to waste, up the limit from 16 to 31. This makes the keys much more useful. - Fix permissions of per CPU file buffer_size_kb The per CPU file of buffer_size_kb was incorrectly set to read only in a previous cleanup. It should be writable. - Reset "last_boot_info" if the persistent buffer is cleared The last_boot_info shows address information of a persistent ring buffer if it contains data from a previous boot. It is cleared when recording starts again, but it is not cleared when the buffer is reset. The data is useless after a reset so clear it on reset too. Internal changes: - A change was made to allow tracepoint callbacks to have preemption enabled, and instead be protected by SRCU. This required some updates to the callbacks for perf and BPF. perf needed to disable preemption directly in its callback because it expects preemption disabled in the later code. BPF needed to disable migration, as its code expects to run completely on the same CPU. - Have irq_work wake up other CPU if current CPU is "isolated" When there's a waiter waiting on ring buffer data and a new event happens, an irq work is triggered to wake up that waiter. This is noisy on isolated CPUs (running NO_HZ_FULL). Trigger an IPI to a house keeping CPU instead. - Use proper free of trigger_data instead of open coding it in. - Remove redundant call of event_trigger_reset_filter() It was called immediately in a function that was called right after it. - Workqueue cleanups - Report errors if tracing_update_buffers() were to fail. - Make the enum update workqueue generic for other parts of tracing On boot up, a work queue is created to convert enum names into their numbers in the trace event format files. This work queue can also be used for other aspects of tracing that takes some time and shouldn't be called by the init call code. The blk_trace initialization takes a bit of time. Have the initialization code moved to the new tracing generic work queue function. - Skip kprobe boot event creation call if there's no kprobes defined on cmdline The kprobe initialization to set up kprobes if they are defined on the cmdline requires taking the event_mutex lock. This can be held by other tracing code doing initialization for a long time. Since kprobes added to the kernel command line need to be setup immediately, as they may be tracing early initialization code, they cannot be postponed in a work queue and must be setup in the initcall code. If there's no kprobe on the kernel cmdline, there's no reason to take the mutex and slow down the boot up code waiting to get the lock only to find out there's nothing to do. Simply exit out early if there's no kprobes on the kernel cmdline. If there are kprobes on the cmdline, then someone cares more about tracing over the speed of boot up. - Clean up the trigger code a bit - Move code out of trace.c and into their own files trace.c is now over 11,000 lines of code and has become more difficult to maintain. Start splitting it up so that related code is in their own files. Move all the trace_printk() related code into trace_printk.c. Move the __always_inline stack functions into trace.h. Move the pid filtering code into a new trace_pid.c file. - Better define the max latency and snapshot code The latency tracers have a "max latency" buffer that is a copy of the main buffer and gets swapped with it when a new high latency is detected. This keeps the trace up to the highest latency around where this max_latency buffer is never written to. It is only used to save the last max latency trace. A while ago a snapshot feature was added to tracefs to allow user space to perform the same logic. It could also enable events to trigger a "snapshot" if one of their fields hit a new high. This was built on top of the latency max_latency buffer logic. Because snapshots came later, they were dependent on the latency tracers to be enabled. In reality, the latency tracers depend on the snapshot code and not the other way around. It was just that they came first. Restructure the code and the kconfigs to have the latency tracers depend on snapshot code instead. This actually simplifies the logic a bit and allows to disable more when the latency tracers are not defined and the snapshot code is. - Fix a "false sharing" in the hwlat tracer code The loop to search for latency in hardware was using a variable that could be changed by user space for each sample. If the user change this variable, it could cause a bus contention, and reading that variable can show up as a large latency in the trace causing a false positive. Read this variable at the start of the sample with a READ_ONCE() into a local variable and keep the code from sharing cache lines with readers. - Fix function graph tracer static branch optimization code When only one tracer is defined for function graph tracing, it uses a static branch to call that tracer directly. When another tracer is added, it goes into loop logic to call all the registered callbacks.

Using single ftrace_ops for direct calls update instead of allocating ftrace_ops object for each trampoline. With single ftrace_ops object we can use update_ftrace_direct_* api that allows multiple ip sites updates on single ftrace_ops object. Adding HAVE_SINGLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_OPS config option to be enabled on each arch that supports this. At the moment we can enable this only on x86 arch, because arm relies on ftrace_ops object representing just single trampoline image (stored in ftrace_ops::direct_call). Archs that do not support this will continue to use *_ftrace_direct api.

2026-01-28ftrace,bpf: Remove FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP ftrace_ops flagJiri Olsa1-14/+0
At the moment the we allow the jmp attach only for ftrace_ops that has FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP set. This conflicts with following changes where we use single ftrace_ops object for all direct call sites, so all could be be attached via just call or jmp. We already limit the jmp attach support with config option and bit (LSB) set on the trampoline address. It turns out that's actually enough to limit the jmp attach for architecture and only for chosen addresses (with LSB bit set). Each user of register_ftrace_direct or modify_ftrace_direct can set the trampoline bit (LSB) to indicate it has to be attached by jmp. The bpf trampoline generation code uses trampoline flags to generate jmp-attach specific code and ftrace inner code uses the trampoline bit (LSB) to handle return from jmp attachment, so there's no harm to remove the FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP bit. The fexit/fmodret performance stays the same (did not drop), current code: fentry : 77.904 ± 0.546M/s fexit : 62.430 ± 0.554M/s fmodret : 66.503 ± 0.902M/s with this change: fentry : 80.472 ± 0.061M/s fexit : 63.995 ± 0.127M/s fmodret : 67.362 ± 0.175M/s Fixes: 25e4e3565d45 ("ftrace: Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP") Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Acked-by: Andrii Nakryiko <andrii@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20251230145010.103439-2-jolsa@kernel.org

2026-01-15ftrace: Do not over-allocate ftrace memoryGuenter Roeck1-14/+15
The pg_remaining calculation in ftrace_process_locs() assumes that ENTRIES_PER_PAGE multiplied by 2^order equals the actual capacity of the allocated page group. However, ENTRIES_PER_PAGE is PAGE_SIZE / ENTRY_SIZE (integer division). When PAGE_SIZE is not a multiple of ENTRY_SIZE (e.g. 4096 / 24 = 170 with remainder 16), high-order allocations (like 256 pages) have significantly more capacity than 256 * 170. This leads to pg_remaining being underestimated, which in turn makes skip (derived from skipped - pg_remaining) larger than expected, causing the WARN(skip != remaining) to trigger. Extra allocated pages for ftrace: 2 with 654 skipped WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7295 ftrace_process_locs+0x5bf/0x5e0 A similar problem in ftrace_allocate_records() can result in allocating too many pages. This can trigger the second warning in ftrace_process_locs().

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
