While cleaning the stacktrace code I unintentially changed the skip depth of trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs() from 0 to 6. kprobes uses this function, and with skipping 6 call backs, it can easily produce no stack. Here's how I tested it: # echo 'p:ext4_sync_fs ext4_sync_fs ' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable # cat /sys/kernel/debug/trace sync-2394 [005] 502.457060: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650) sync-2394 [005] 502.457063: kernel_stack: <stack trace> sync-2394 [005] 502.457086: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650) sync-2394 [005] 502.457087: kernel_stack: <stack trace> sync-2394 [005] 502.457091: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650) After putting back the skip stack to zero, we have: sync-2270 [000] 748.052693: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650) sync-2270 [000] 748.052695: kernel_stack: <stack trace> => iterate_supers (ffffffff8126412e) => sys_sync (ffffffff8129c4b6) => entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff8181f0b2) sync-2270 [000] 748.053017: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650) sync-2270 [000] 748.053019: kernel_stack: <stack trace> => iterate_supers (ffffffff8126412e) => sys_sync (ffffffff8129c4b6) => entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff8181f0b2) sync-2270 [000] 748.053381: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650) sync-2270 [000] 748.053383: kernel_stack: <stack trace> => iterate_supers (ffffffff8126412e) => sys_sync (ffffffff8129c4b6) => entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff8181f0b2) Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.4+ Fixes: 73dddbb5 "tracing: Only create stacktrace option when STACKTRACE is configured" Reported-by: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Tested-by: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
