Split ftrace-based kprobes code from kprobes, and introduce CONFIG_(HAVE_)KPROBES_ON_FTRACE Kconfig flags. For the cleanup reason, this also moves kprobe_ftrace check into skip_singlestep.

Move SAVE_REGS support flag into Kconfig and rename it to CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. This also introduces CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which indicates the architecture depending part of ftrace has a code that saves full registers. On the other hand, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS indicates the code is enabled.

Add the file max_graph_depth to the debug tracing directory that lets the user define the depth of the function graph. A very useful operation is to set the depth to 1. Then it traces only the first function that is called when entering the kernel. This can be used to determine what system operations interrupt a process. For example, to work on NOHZ processes (single tasks running without a timer tick), if any interrupt goes off and preempts that task, this code will show it happening. # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > max_graph_depth # echo function_graph > current_tracer # cat per_cpu/cpu/<cpu-of-process>/trace Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When function tracing with either debug locks enabled or tracing preempt disabled, the add_preempt_count() is traced. This is an issue with lockdep and function tracing. As function tracing can disable interrupts, and lockdep records that change, lockdep may not be able to handle this recursion if it happens from an NMI context. The first thing that an NMI does is: #define nmi_enter() \ do { \ ftrace_nmi_enter(); \ BUG_ON(in_nmi()); \ add_preempt_count(NMI_OFFSET + HARDIRQ_OFFSET); \ lockdep_off(); \ rcu_nmi_enter(); \ trace_hardirq_enter(); \ } while (0) When the add_preempt_count() is traced, and the tracing callback disables interrupts, it will jump into the lockdep code. There's some places in lockdep that can't handle this re-entrance, and causes lockdep to fail. As the lockdep_off() (and lockdep_on) is a simple: void lockdep_off(void) { current->lockdep_recursion++; } and is never traced, it can be called first in nmi_enter() and lockdep_on() last in nmi_exit().

There's now a check in tracing_reset_online_cpus() if the buffer is allocated or NULL. No need to do a check before calling it with max_tr. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Hiraku Toyooka authored
max_tr->buffer could be NULL in the tracing_reset{_online_cpus}. In this case, a NULL pointer dereference happens, so we should return immediately from these functions. Note, the current code does not call tracing_reset*() with max_tr when its buffer is NULL, but future code will. This patch is needed to prevent the future code from crashing.

Without this patch, we can register a uprobe event for a directory. Enabling such a uprobe event would anyway fail. Example: $ echo 'p /bin:0x4245c0' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events However dirctories cannot be valid targets for uprobe. Hence verify if the target is a regular file during the probe registration.

typeof(&buffer) is a pointer to array of 1024 char, or char (*)[1024]. But, typeof(&buffer[0]) is a pointer to char which match the return type of get_trace_buf(). As well-known, the value of &buffer is equal to &buffer[0]. so return this_cpu_ptr(&percpu_buffer->buffer[0]) can avoid type cast.

The original ring-buffer code had special checks at the start of rb_advance_iter() and instead of repeating them again at the end of the function if a certain condition existed, I just did a recursive call to rb_advance_iter() because the special condition would cause rb_advance_iter() to return early (after the checks). But as things have changed, the special checks no longer exist and the only thing done for the special_condition is to call rb_inc_iter() and return. Instead of doing a confusing recursive call, just call rb_inc_iter instead. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Sparse complains when is_signed_type() is used on a pointer. This macro is needed for the format output used for ftrace and perf, to know if a binary field is a signed type or not. The is_signed_type() macro is used against all fields that are recorded by events to automate the operation. The problem sparse has is with the current way is_signed_type() works: ((type)-1 < 0) If "type" is a poiner, than sparse does not like it being compared to an integer (zero). The simple fix is to just give zero the same type. The runtime result stays the same. Reported-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarzmik@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If some other kernel subsystem has a module notifier, and adds a kprobe to a ftrace mcount point (now that kprobes work on ftrace points), when the ftrace notifier runs it will fail and disable ftrace, as well as kprobes that are attached to ftrace points. Here's the error: WARNING: at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:1618 ftrace_bug+0x239/0x280() Hardware name: Bochs Modules linked in: fat(+) stap_56d28a51b3fe546293ca0700b10bcb29__8059(F) nfsv4 auth_rpcgss nfs dns_resolver fscache xt_nat iptable_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat nf_conntrack lockd sunrpc ppdev parport_pc parport microcode virtio_net i2c_piix4 drm_kms_helper ttm drm i2c_core [last unloaded: bid_shared] Pid: 8068, comm: modprobe Tainted: GF 3.7.0-0.rc8.git0.1.fc19.x86_64 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8105e70f>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [<ffffffff81134106>] ? __probe_kernel_read+0x46/0x70 [<ffffffffa0180000>] ? 0xffffffffa017ffff [<ffffffffa0180000>] ? 0xffffffffa017ffff [<ffffffff8105e76a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff810fd189>] ftrace_bug+0x239/0x280 [<ffffffff810fd626>] ftrace_process_locs+0x376/0x520 [<ffffffff810fefb7>] ftrace_module_notify+0x47/0x50 [<ffffffff8163912d>] notifier_call_chain+0x4d/0x70 [<ffffffff810882f8>] __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x58/0x80 [<ffffffff81088336>] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x16/0x20 [<ffffffff810c2a23>] sys_init_module+0x73/0x220 [<ffffffff8163d719>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b ---[ end trace 9ef46351e53bbf80 ]--- ftrace failed to modify [<ffffffffa0180000>] init_once+0x0/0x20 [fat] actual: cc:bb:d2:4b:e1 A kprobe was added to the init_once() function in the fat module on load. But this happened before ftrace could have touched the code. As ftrace didn't run yet, the kprobe system had no idea it was a ftrace point and simply added a breakpoint to the code (0xcc in the cc:bb:d2:4b:e1). Then when ftrace went to modify the location from a call to mcount/fentry into a nop, it didn't see a call op, but instead it saw the breakpoint op and not knowing what to do with it, ftrace shut itself down. The solution is to simply give the ftrace module notifier the max priority. This should have been done regardless, as the core code ftrace modification also happens very early on in boot up. This makes the module modification closer to core modification.

Dave Jones hit this assert when doing a compile on recent git, with CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG enabled: XFS: Assertion failed: (char *)dup - (char *)hdr == be16_to_cpu(*xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(dup)), file: fs/xfs/xfs_dir2_data.c, line: 828 Upon further digging, the tag found by xfs_dir2_data_unused_tag_p(dup) contained "2" and not the proper offset, and I found that this value was changed after the memmoves under "Use a stale leaf for our new entry." in xfs_dir2_block_addname(), i.e. memmove(&blp[mid + 1], &blp[mid], (highstale - mid) * sizeof(*blp)); overwrote it. What has happened is that the previous call to xfs_dir2_block_compact() has rearranged things; it changes btp->count as well as the blp array. So after we make that call, we must recalculate the proper pointer to the leaf entries by making another call to xfs_dir2_block_leaf_p(). Dave provided a metadump image which led to a simple reproducer (create a particular filename in the affected directory) and this resolves the testcase as well as the bug on his live system. Thanks also to dchinner for looking at this one with me.

Commits starting at 77c1a08f introduced a multiple segment support to xfs_buf. xfs_trans_buf_item_match() could not find a multi-segment buffer in the transaction because it was looking at the single segment block number rather than the multi-segment b_maps[0].bm.bn. This results on a recursive buffer lock that can never be satisfied. This patch: 1) Changed the remaining b_map accesses to be b_maps[0] accesses. 2) Renames the single segment b_map structure to __b_map to avoid future confusion.

In commit 281dc5c5 ("Give up on pushing CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE") we already changed the actual default value, but the help-text still suggested 'y'. Fix the help text too, for all the same reasons. Sadly, -Os keeps on generating some very suboptimal code for certain cases, to the point where any I$ miss upside is swamped by the downside. The main ones are: - using "rep movsb" for memcpy, even on CPU's where that is horrendously bad for performance. - not honoring branch prediction information, so any I$ footprint you win from smaller code, you lose from less code density in the I$. - using divide instructions when that is very expensive.

If the default iosched is built as module, the kernel may deadlock while trying to load the iosched module on device probe if the probing was running off async. This is because async_synchronize_full() at the end of module init ends up waiting for the async job which initiated the module loading. async A modprobe 1. finds a device 2. registers the block device 3. request_module(default iosched) 4. modprobe in userland 5. load and init module 6. async_synchronize_full() Async A waits for modprobe to finish in request_module() and modprobe waits for async A to finish in async_synchronize_full(). Because there's no easy to track dependency once control goes out to userland, implementing properly nested flushing is difficult. For now, make module init perform async_synchronize_full() iff module init has queued async jobs as suggested by Linus. This avoids the described deadlock because iosched module doesn't use async and thus wouldn't invoke async_synchronize_full(). This is hacky and incomplete. It will deadlock if async module loading nests; however, this works around the known problem case and seems to be the best of bad options.

cbc0dd1f "s390/pci: CHSC PCI support for error and availability events" introduced a new SEI notification type as part of pci support. The way SEI was called with nt2 and nt0 consecutive broke the nt0 stuff used for channel subsystem notifications. The reason why this was broken with the mentioned patch is that you cannot selectively disable type 0 notifications (so even when asked for type 2 only, type 0 could be presented). The way to do it is to tell SEI which types of notification you can process and -this is the important part- look at the SEI result which notification type you actually received.

Converting a 64 Bit TOD format value to nanoseconds means that the value must be divided by 4.096. In order to achieve that we multiply with 125 and divide by 512. When used within sched_clock() this triggers an overflow after appr. 417 days. Resulting in a sched_clock() return value that is much smaller than previously and therefore may cause all sort of weird things in subsystems that rely on a monotonic sched_clock() behaviour. To fix this implement a tod_to_ns() helper function which converts TOD values without overflow and call this function from both places that open coded the conversion: sched_clock() and kvm_s390_handle_wait().
