git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Fix printf format warning for bprintf sunrpc uses a trace_printk() that triggers a printf warning during the compile. 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 ...
2026-04-07bpf: Prefer vmlinux symbols over module symbols for unqualified kprobesAndrey Grodzovsky1-0/+8
When an unqualified kprobe target exists in both vmlinux and a loaded module, number_of_same_symbols() returns a count greater than 1, causing kprobe attachment to fail with -EADDRNOTAVAIL even though the vmlinux symbol is unambiguous. When no module qualifier is given and the symbol is found in vmlinux, return the vmlinux-only count without scanning loaded modules. This preserves the existing behavior for all other cases: - Symbol only in a module: vmlinux count is 0, falls through to module scan as before. - Symbol qualified with MOD:SYM: mod != NULL, unchanged path. - Symbol ambiguous within vmlinux itself: count > 1 is returned as-is.

2026-03-31tracing: Append repeated boot-time tracing parametersWesley Atwell1-1/+2
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.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex() interface. As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather than 'objs*'.

2026-02-21Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argumentLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
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>
2026-02-21treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar typesKees Cook1-2/+2
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull kprobes updates from Masami Hiramatsu: - Use a dedicated kernel thread to optimize the kprobes instead of using workqueue thread. Since the kprobe optimizer waits a long time for synchronize_rcu_task(), it can block other workers in the same queue if it uses a workqueue. - kprobe-events: return immediately if no new probe events are specified on the kernel command line at boot time. This shortens the kernel boot time. - When a kprobe is fully removed from the kernel code, retry optimizing another kprobe which is blocked by that kprobe. * tag 'probes-v7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: kprobes: Use dedicated kthread for kprobe optimizer tracing: kprobe-event: Return directly when trace kprobes is empty kprobes: retry blocked optprobe in do_free_cleaned_kprobes
2026-02-08tracing: Make tracing_disabled global for tracing systemSteven Rostedt1-1/+1
The tracing_disabled variable is set to one on boot up to prevent some parts of tracing to access the tracing infrastructure before it is set up. It also can be set after boot if an anomaly is discovered. It is currently a static variable in trace.c and can be accessed via a function call trace_is_disabled(). There's really no reason to use a function call as the tracing subsystem should be able to access it directly. By making the variable accessed directly, code can be moved out of trace.c without adding overhead of a function call to see if tracing is disabled or not. Make tracing_disabled global and remove the tracing_is_disabled() helper function. Also add some "unlikely()"s around tracing_disabled where it's checked in hot paths.

When the 'kprobe_event=' kernel command-line parameter is not provided, there is no need to execute setup_boot_kprobe_events(). This change optimizes the initialization function init_kprobe_trace() by skipping unnecessary work and effectively prevents potential blocking that could arise from contention on the event_mutex lock in subsequent operations.

Since the shared trace_probe_log variable can be accessed and modified via probe event create operation of kprobe_events, uprobe_events, and dynamic_events, it should be protected. In the dynamic_events, all operations are serialized by `dyn_event_ops_mutex`. But kprobe_events and uprobe_events interfaces are not serialized. To solve this issue, introduces dyn_event_create(), which runs create() operation under the mutex, for kprobe_events and uprobe_events. This also uses lockdep to check the mutex is held when using trace_probe_log* APIs.

Currently, kprobe event checks whether the target symbol name is unique or not, so that it does not put a probe on an unexpected place. But this skips the check if the target is on a module because the module may not be loaded. To fix this issue, this patch checks the number of probe target symbols in a target module when the module is loaded. If the probe is not on the unique name symbols in the module, it will be rejected at that point. Note that the symbol which has a unique name in the target module, it will be accepted even if there are same-name symbols in the kernel or other modules, Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/172016348553.99543.2834679315611882137.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2024-05-01tracing/probes: support '%pd' type for print struct dentry's nameYe Bin1-0/+6
During fault locating, the file name needs to be printed based on the dentry address. The offset needs to be calculated each time, which is troublesome. Similar to printk, kprobe support print type '%pd' for print dentry's name. For example "name=$arg1:%pd" casts the `$arg1` as (struct dentry *), dereferences the "d_name.name" field and stores it to "name" argument as a kernel string. Here is an example: [tracing]# echo 'p:testprobe dput name=$arg1:%pd' > kprobe_events [tracing]# echo 1 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable [tracing]# grep -q "1" events/kprobes/testprobe/enable [tracing]# echo 0 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable [tracing]# cat trace | grep "enable" bash-14844 [002] ..... 16912.889543: testprobe: (dput+0x4/0x30) name="enable" grep-15389 [003] ..... 16922.834182: testprobe: (dput+0x4/0x30) name="enable" grep-15389 [003] ..... 16922.836103: testprobe: (dput+0x4/0x30) name="enable" bash-14844 [001] ..... 16931.820909: testprobe: (dput+0x4/0x30) name="enable" Note that this expects the given argument (e.g. $arg1) is an address of struct dentry.

2024-03-07tracing/probes: Support $argN in return probe (kprobe and fprobe)Masami Hiramatsu (Google)1-10/+46
Support accessing $argN in the return probe events. This will help users to record entry data in function return (exit) event for simplfing the function entry/exit information in one event, and record the result values (e.g. allocated object/initialized object) at function exit. For example, if we have a function `int init_foo(struct foo *obj, int param)` sometimes we want to check how `obj` is initialized. In such case, we can define a new return event like below; # echo 'r init_foo retval=$retval param=$arg2 field1=+0($arg1)' >> kprobe_events Thus it records the function parameter `param` and its result `obj->field1` (the dereference will be done in the function exit timing) value at once. This also support fprobe, BTF args and'$arg*'. So if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled, we can trace both function parameters and the return value by following command. # echo 'f target_function%return $arg* $retval' >> dynamic_events Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/170952365552.229804.224112990211602895.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
