2024-05-13tracing: Allow user-space mapping of the ring-bufferVincent Donnefort1-0/+1
Currently, user-space extracts data from the ring-buffer via splice, which is handy for storage or network sharing. However, due to splice limitations, it is imposible to do real-time analysis without a copy. A solution for that problem is to let the user-space map the ring-buffer directly. The mapping is exposed via the per-CPU file trace_pipe_raw. The first element of the mapping is the meta-page. It is followed by each subbuffer constituting the ring-buffer, ordered by their unique page ID: * Meta-page -- include/uapi/linux/trace_mmap.h for a description * Subbuf ID 0 * Subbuf ID 1 ... It is therefore easy to translate a subbuf ID into an offset in the mapping: reader_id = meta->reader->id; reader_offset = meta->meta_page_size + reader_id * meta->subbuf_size; When new data is available, the mapper must call a newly introduced ioctl: TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER. This will update the Meta-page reader ID to point to the next reader containing unread data. Mapping will prevent snapshot and buffer size modifications.

2024-03-18tracing: Add snapshot refcountVincent Donnefort1-2/+6
When a ring-buffer is memory mapped by user-space, no trace or ring-buffer swap is possible. This means the snapshot feature is mutually exclusive with the memory mapping. Having a refcount on snapshot users will help to know if a mapping is possible or not. Instead of relying on the global trace_types_lock, a new spinlock is introduced to serialize accesses to trace_array->snapshot. This intends to allow access to that variable in a context where the mmap lock is already held.

2024-03-17tracing: Move saved_cmdline code into trace_sched_switch.cSteven Rostedt (Google)1-0/+10
The code that handles saved_cmdlines is split between the trace.c file and the trace_sched_switch.c. There's some history to this. The trace_sched_switch.c was originally created to handle the sched_switch tracer that was deprecated due to sched_switch trace event making it obsolete. But that file did not get deleted as it had some code to help with saved_cmdlines. But trace.c has grown tremendously since then. Just move all the saved_cmdlines code into trace_sched_switch.c as that's the only reason that file still exists, and trace.c has gotten too big. No functional changes.

2023-12-20ring-buffer: Page size per ring bufferTzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)1-0/+1
Currently the size of one sub buffer page is global for all buffers and it is hard coded to one system page. In order to introduce configurable ring buffer sub page size, the internal logic should be refactored to work with sub page size per ring buffer.

2023-12-18tracing: Allow creating instances with specified system eventsSteven Rostedt (Google)1-0/+1
A trace instance may only need to enable specific events. As the eventfs directory of an instance currently creates all events which adds overhead, allow internal instances to be created with just the events in systems that they care about. This currently only deals with systems and not individual events, but this should bring down the overhead of creating instances for specific use cases quite bit. The trace_array_get_by_name() now has another parameter "systems". This parameter is a const string pointer of a comma/space separated list of event systems that should be created by the trace_array. (Note if the trace_array already exists, this parameter is ignored). The list of systems is saved and if a module is loaded, its events will not be added unless the system for those events also match the systems string.

2023-12-13tracing: Fix uaf issue when open the hist or hist_debug fileZheng Yejian1-0/+1
KASAN report following issue. The root cause is when opening 'hist' file of an instance and accessing 'trace_event_file' in hist_show(), but 'trace_event_file' has been freed due to the instance being removed. 'hist_debug' file has the same problem. To fix it, call tracing_{open,release}_file_tr() in file_operations callback to have the ref count and avoid 'trace_event_file' being freed.

Change directory to the tracefs directory 2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one) 3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event 4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too) 5. Close the bash file descriptor 5 The above causes a crash!

It maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?). Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file" descriptor. But as the tracefs file is still opened by user space, it will not be totally removed until the final dput() is called on it. But this is not true with the event "file" descriptor that is already freed. If the user does a write to or simply closes the file descriptor it will reference the event "file" descriptor that was just freed, causing a use-after-free bug. To solve this, add a ref count to the event "file" descriptor as well as a new flag called "FREED". The "file" will not be freed until the last reference is released. But the FREE flag will be set when the event is removed to prevent any more modifications to that event from happening, even if there's still a reference to the event "file" descriptor.

2023-10-04eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inodeSteven Rostedt (Google)1-2/+2
Instead of having a descriptor for every file represented in the eventfs directory, only have the directory itself represented. Change the API to send in a list of entries that represent all the files in the directory (but not other directories). The entry list contains a name and a callback function that will be used to create the files when they are accessed. struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_events_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent, const struct eventfs_entry *entries, int size, void *data); is used for the top level eventfs directory, and returns an eventfs_inode that will be used by: struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct eventfs_inode *parent, const struct eventfs_entry *entries, int size, void *data); where both of the above take an array of struct eventfs_entry entries for every file that is in the directory. The entries are defined by: typedef int (*eventfs_callback)(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data, const struct file_operations **fops); struct eventfs_entry { const char *name; eventfs_callback callback; }; Where the name is the name of the file and the callback gets called when the file is being created. The callback passes in the name (in case the same callback is used for multiple files), a pointer to the mode, data and fops. The data will be pointing to the data that was passed in eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() but may be overridden to point to something else, as it will be used to point to the inode->i_private that is created. The information passed back from the callback is used to create the dentry/inode. If the callback fills the data and the file should be created, it must return a positive number. On zero or negative, the file is ignored. This logic may also be used as a prototype to convert entire pseudo file systems into just-in-time allocation. The "show_events_dentry" file has been updated to show the directories, and any files they have.

2023-10-03tracing: Expand all ring buffers individuallyZheng Yejian1-2/+7
The ring buffer of global_trace is set to the minimum size in order to save memory on boot up and then it will be expand when some trace feature enabled. However currently operations under an instance can also cause global_trace ring buffer being expanded, and the expanded memory would be wasted if global_trace then not being used. See following case, we enable 'sched_switch' event in instance 'A', then ring buffer of global_trace is unexpectedly expanded to be 1410KB, also the '(expanded: 1408)' from 'buffer_size_kb' of instance is confusing. # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # mkdir instances/A # cat buffer_size_kb 7 (expanded: 1408) # cat instances/A/buffer_size_kb 1410 (expanded: 1408) # echo sched:sched_switch > instances/A/set_event # cat buffer_size_kb 1410 # cat instances/A/buffer_size_kb 1410 To fix it, we can: - Make 'ring_buffer_expanded' as a member of 'struct trace_array'; - Make 'ring_buffer_expanded' of instance is defaultly true, global_trace is defaultly false; - In order not to expose 'global_trace' outside of file 'kernel/trace/trace.c', introduce trace_set_ring_buffer_expanded() to set 'ring_buffer_expanded' as 'true'; - Pass the expected trace_array to tracing_update_buffers().

Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual size rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead. Major changes: - Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and dentries of tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of events, and each event has several inodes and dentries that currently exist even when tracing is never used, they take up precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate the inodes and dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There is now metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will create the inodes and dentries when they are used. Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data, but will wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's a little more complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code works properly before adding more complexity, making it easier to revert if need be.

2023-08-21tracing: Introduce pipe_cpumask to avoid race on trace_pipesZheng Yejian1-0/+2
There is race issue when concurrently splice_read main trace_pipe and per_cpu trace_pipes which will result in data read out being different from what actually writen. As suggested by Steven: > I believe we should add a ref count to trace_pipe and the per_cpu > trace_pipes, where if they are opened, nothing else can read it. > > Opening trace_pipe locks all per_cpu ref counts, if any of them are > open, then the trace_pipe open will fail (and releases any ref counts > it had taken). > > Opening a per_cpu trace_pipe will up the ref count for just that > CPU buffer. This will allow multiple tasks to read different per_cpu > trace_pipe files, but will prevent the main trace_pipe file from > being opened. But because we only need to know whether per_cpu trace_pipe is open or not, using a cpumask instead of using ref count may be easier. After this patch, users will find that: - Main trace_pipe can be opened by only one user, and if it is opened, all per_cpu trace_pipes cannot be opened; - Per_cpu trace_pipes can be opened by multiple users, but each per_cpu trace_pipe can only be opened by one user. And if one of them is opened, main trace_pipe cannot be opened.

2023-07-31eventfs: Move tracing/events to eventfsAjay Kaher1-1/+1
Up until now, /sys/kernel/tracing/events was no different than any other part of tracefs. The files and directories within the events directory was created when the tracefs was mounted, and also created for the instances in /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/<instance>/events. Most of these files and directories will never be referenced. Since there are thousands of these files and directories they spend their time wasting precious memory resources. Move the "events" directory to the new eventfs. The eventfs will take the meta data of the events that they represent and store that. When the files in the events directory are referenced, the dentry and inodes to represent them are then created. When the files are no longer referenced, they are freed. This saves the precious memory resources that were wasted on these seldom referenced dentries and inodes. Running the following: ~# cat /proc/meminfo /proc/slabinfo > before.out ~# mkdir /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/foo ~# cat /proc/meminfo /proc/slabinfo > after.out to test the changes produces the following deltas: Before this change: Before after deltas for meminfo: MemFree: -32260 MemAvailable: -21496 KReclaimable: 21528 Slab: 22440 SReclaimable: 21528 SUnreclaim: 912 VmallocUsed: 16 Before after deltas for slabinfo: <slab>: <objects> [ * <size> = <total>] tracefs_inode_cache: 14472 [* 1184 = 17134848] buffer_head: 24 [* 168 = 4032] hmem_inode_cache: 28 [* 1480 = 41440] dentry: 14450 [* 312 = 4508400] lsm_inode_cache: 14453 [* 32 = 462496] vma_lock: 11 [* 152 = 1672] vm_area_struct: 2 [* 184 = 368] trace_event_file: 1748 [* 88 = 153824] kmalloc-256: 1072 [* 256 = 274432] kmalloc-64: 2842 [* 64 = 181888] Total slab additions in size: 22,763,400 bytes With this change: Before after deltas for meminfo: MemFree: -12600 MemAvailable: -12580 Cached: 24 Active: 12 Inactive: 68 Inactive(anon): 48 Active(file): 12 Inactive(file): 20 Dirty: -4 AnonPages: 68 KReclaimable: 12 Slab: 1856 SReclaimable: 12 SUnreclaim: 1844 KernelStack: 16 PageTables: 36 VmallocUsed: 16 Before after deltas for slabinfo: <slab>: <objects> [ * <size> = <total>] tracefs_inode_cache: 108 [* 1184 = 127872] buffer_head: 24 [* 168 = 4032] hmem_inode_cache: 18 [* 1480 = 26640] dentry: 127 [* 312 = 39624] lsm_inode_cache: 152 [* 32 = 4864] vma_lock: 67 [* 152 = 10184] vm_area_struct: -12 [* 184 = -2208] trace_event_file: 1764 [* 96 = 169344] kmalloc-96: 14322 [* 96 = 1374912] kmalloc-64: 2814 [* 64 = 180096] kmalloc-32: 1103 [* 32 = 35296] kmalloc-16: 2308 [* 16 = 36928] kmalloc-8: 12800 [* 8 = 102400] Total slab additions in size: 2,109,984 bytes Which is a savings of 20,653,416 bytes (20 MB) per tracing instance.

2023-07-30tracing: Add back FORTIFY_SOURCE logic to kernel_stack event structureSteven Rostedt (Google)1-0/+10
For backward compatibility, older tooling expects to see the kernel_stack event with a "caller" field that is a fixed size array of 8 addresses. The code now supports more than 8 with an added "size" field that states the real number of entries. But the "caller" field still just looks like a fixed size to user space. Since the tracing macros that create the user space format files also creates the structures that those files represent, the kernel_stack event structure had its "caller" field a fixed size of 8, but in reality, when it is allocated on the ring buffer, it can hold more if the stack trace is bigger that 8 functions. The copying of these entries was simply done with a memcpy(): size = nr_entries * sizeof(unsigned long); memcpy(entry->caller, fstack->calls, size); The FORTIFY_SOURCE logic noticed at runtime that when the nr_entries was larger than 8, that the memcpy() was writing more than what the structure stated it can hold and it complained about it. This is because the FORTIFY_SOURCE code is unaware that the amount allocated is actually enough to hold the size. It does not expect that a fixed size field will hold more than the fixed size. This was originally solved by hiding the caller assignment with some pointer arithmetic. ptr = ring_buffer_data(); entry = ptr; ptr += offsetof(typeof(*entry), caller); memcpy(ptr, fstack->calls, size); But it is considered bad form to hide from kernel hardening. Instead, make it work nicely with FORTIFY_SOURCE by adding a new __stack_array() macro that is specific for this one special use case. The macro will take 4 arguments: type, item, len, field (whereas the __array() macro takes just the first three). This macro will act just like the __array() macro when creating the code to deal with the format file that is exposed to user space. But for the kernel, it will turn the caller field into: type item[] __counted_by(field); or for this instance: unsigned long caller[] __counted_by(size); Now the kernel code can expose the assignment of the caller to the FORTIFY_SOURCE and everyone is happy!

This reverts commit 2e9906f84fc7c99388bb7123ade167250d50f1c0. It was turned out that commit 2e9906f84fc7 ("tracing: Add "(fault)" name injection to kernel probes") did not work correctly and probe events still show just '(fault)' (instead of '"(fault)"'). Also, current '(fault)' is more explicit that it faulted. This also moves FAULT_STRING macro to trace.h so that synthetic event can keep using it, and uses it in trace_probe.c too.

2023-06-20function_graph: Support recording and printing the return value of functionDonglin Peng1-0/+2
Analyzing system call failures with the function_graph tracer can be a time-consuming process, particularly when locating the kernel function that first returns an error in the trace logs. This change aims to simplify the process by recording the function return value to the 'retval' member of 'ftrace_graph_ret' and printing it when outputting the trace log. We have introduced new trace options: funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retval-hex. The former controls whether to display the return value, while the latter controls the display format. Please note that even if a function's return type is void, a return value will still be printed. You can simply ignore it. This patch only establishes the fundamental infrastructure. Subsequent patches will make this feature available on some commonly used processor architectures. Here is an example: I attempted to attach the demo process to a cpu cgroup, but it failed: echo `pidof demo` > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/tasks -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument The strace logs indicate that the write system call returned -EINVAL(-22): ... write(1, "273\n", 4) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) ... To capture trace logs during a write system call, use the following commands: cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ echo 0 > tracing_on echo > trace echo *sys_write > set_graph_function echo *spin* > set_graph_notrace echo *rcu* >> set_graph_notrace echo *alloc* >> set_graph_notrace echo preempt* >> set_graph_notrace echo kfree* >> set_graph_notrace echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid echo function_graph > current_tracer echo 1 > options/funcgraph-retval echo 0 > options/funcgraph-retval-hex echo 1 > tracing_on echo `pidof demo` > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/tasks echo 0 > tracing_on cat trace > ~/trace.log To locate the root cause, search for error code -22 directly in the file trace.log and identify the first function that returned -22. Once you have identified this function, examine its code to determine the root cause. For example, in the trace log below, cpu_cgroup_can_attach returned -22 first, so we can focus our analysis on this function to identify the root cause. ... 1) | cgroup_migrate() { 1) 0.651 us | cgroup_migrate_add_task(); /* = 0xffff93fcfd346c00 */ 1) | cgroup_migrate_execute() { 1) | cpu_cgroup_can_attach() { 1) | cgroup_taskset_first() { 1) 0.732 us | cgroup_taskset_next(); /* = 0xffff93fc8fb20000 */ 1) 1.232 us | } /* cgroup_taskset_first = 0xffff93fc8fb20000 */ 1) 0.380 us | sched_rt_can_attach(); /* = 0x0 */ 1) 2.335 us | } /* cpu_cgroup_can_attach = -22 */ 1) 4.369 us | } /* cgroup_migrate_execute = -22 */ 1) 7.143 us | } /* cgroup_migrate = -22 */ ...

2023-06-06tracing/probes: Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit.Masami Hiramatsu (Google)1-0/+11
Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, it is not available if the architecture only supports CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture. But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events. The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function (symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments so that user can trace the function arguments and return values. The fprobe events syntax is here; f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS] f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS] E.g. # echo 'f vfs_read $arg1' >> dynamic_events # echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval' >> dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1 f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval # echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable # head -n 20 trace | tail # TASK-PID CPU# ||||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | ||||| | | sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386420: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386436: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386451: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386458: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386469: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386476: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.602073: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.602089: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/168507469754.913472.6112857614708350210.stgit@mhiramat.roam.corp.google.com/ Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/202302011530.7vm4O8Ro-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

This will allow seeing the stack trace of when a task is scheduled out and recorded when it gets scheduled back in. - Add trace event helper __get_buf() to use as a temporary buffer when printing out trace event output. - Add kernel command line to create trace instances on boot up. - Add enabling of events to instances created at boot up. - Add trace_array_puts() to write into instances. - Allow boot instances to take a snapshot at the end of boot up. - Allow live patch modules to include trace events - Minor fixes and clean ups * tag 'trace-v6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (31 commits) tracing: Remove unnecessary NULL assignment tracepoint: Allow livepatch module add trace event tracing: Always use canonical ftrace path tracing/histogram: Fix stacktrace histogram Documententation tracing/histogram: Fix stacktrace key tracing/histogram: Fix a few problems with stacktrace variable printing tracing: Add BUILD_BUG() to make sure stacktrace fits in strings tracing/histogram: Don't use strlen to find length of stacktrace variables tracing: Allow boot instances to have snapshot buffers tracing: Add trace_array_puts() to write into instance tracing: Add enabling of events to boot instances tracing: Add creation of instances at boot command line tracing: Fix trace_event_raw_event_synth() if else statement samples: ftrace: Make some global variables static ftrace: sample: avoid open-coded 64-bit division samples: ftrace: Include the nospec-branch.h only for x86 tracing: Acquire buffer from temparary trace sequence tracing/histogram: Wrap remaining shell snippets in code blocks tracing/osnoise: No need for schedule_hrtimeout range bpf/tracing: Use stage6 of tracing to not duplicate macros ...
