Kprobes can enter into a probing recursion, ie: a kprobe that does an endless loop because one of its core mechanism function used during probing is also probed itself. This patch helps pinpointing the kprobe that raised such recursion by dumping it and raising a BUG instead of a warning (we also disarm the kprobe to try avoiding recursion in BUG itself). Having a BUG instead of a warning stops the stacktrace in the right place and doesn't pollute the logs with hundreds of traces that eventually end up in a stack overflow.

Add kprobes-based event tracer on ftrace. This tracer is similar to the events tracer which is based on Tracepoint infrastructure. Instead of Tracepoint, this tracer is based on kprobes (kprobe and kretprobe). It probes anywhere where kprobes can probe(this means, all functions body except for __kprobes functions). Similar to the events tracer, this tracer doesn't need to be activated via current_tracer, instead of that, just set probe points via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events. And you can set filters on each probe events via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/<EVENT>/filter. This tracer supports following probe arguments for each probe. %REG : Fetch register REG sN : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0) sa : Fetch stack address. @ADDR : Fetch memory at ADDR (ADDR should be in kernel) @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol) aN : Fetch function argument. (N >= 0) rv : Fetch return value. ra : Fetch return address. +|-offs(FETCHARG) : fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address. See Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt in the next patch for details. Changes from v13: - Support 'sa' for stack address. - Use call->data instead of container_of() macro. [fweisbec@gmail.com: Fixed conflict against latest tracing/core] Signed-off-by:

Add dynamic ftrace_event_call support to ftrace. Trace engines can add new ftrace_event_call to ftrace on the fly. Each operator function of the call takes an ftrace_event_call data structure as an argument, because these functions may be shared among several ftrace_event_calls. Changes from v13: - Define remove_subsystem_dir() always (revirt a2ca5e03), because trace_remove_event_call() uses it. - Modify syscall tracer because of ftrace_event_call change.

Add x86 instruction decoder to arch-specific libraries. This decoder can decode x86 instructions used in kernel into prefix, opcode, modrm, sib, displacement and immediates. This can also show the length of instructions. This version introduces instruction attributes for decoding instructions. The instruction attribute tables are generated from the opcode map file (x86-opcode-map.txt) by the generator script(gen-insn-attr-x86.awk). Currently, the opcode maps are based on opcode maps in Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developers Manual Vol.2: Appendix.A, and consist of below two types of opcode tables. 1-byte/2-bytes/3-bytes opcodes, which has 256 elements, are written as below; Table: table-name Referrer: escaped-name opcode: mnemonic|GrpXXX [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...] (or) opcode: escape # escaped-name EndTable Group opcodes, which has 8 elements, are written as below; GrpTable: GrpXXX reg: mnemonic [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...] EndTable These opcode maps include a few SSE and FP opcodes (for setup), because those opcodes are used in the kernel.

The TRACE_EVENT depends on the include/linux/tracepoint.h first and include/trace/ftrace.h later, if we include the ftrace.h early, a building error will occur. Both define TRACE_EVENT in trace_a.h and trace_b.h, if we include those in .c file, like this: #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS include <trace/events/trace_a.h> include <trace/events/trace_b.h> The above will not work, because the TRACE_EVENT was re-defined by the previous .h file.

Usually, char * entries are dangerous in traces because the string can be released whereas a pointer to it can still wait to be read from the ring buffer. But sometimes we can assume it's safe, like in case of RO data (eg: __file__ or __line__, used in bkl trace event). If these RO data are in a module and so is the call to the trace event, then it's safe, because the ring buffer will be flushed once this module get unloaded. To allow char * to be treated as a string: TRACE_EVENT(..., TP_STRUCT__entry( __field_ext(const char *, name, FILTER_PTR_STRING) ... ) ... ); The filtering will not dereference "char *" unless the developer explicitly sets FILTER_PTR_STR in __field_ext.

The type of a field is stored as a string in @type, and here we add @filter_type which is an enum value. This prepares for later patches, so we can specifically assign different @filter_type for the same @type. For example normally a "char *" field is treated as a ptr, but we may want it to be treated as a string when doing filting. Signed-off-by:

function_graph traces look like nested function calls, complete with braces denoting the start and end of functions. function-graph-fold.vim teaches vim how to fold these functions, to make it more convenient to browse them. To use, :source function-graph-fold.vim while viewing a function_graph trace, or use "view -S function-graph-fold.vim some-trace" to load it from the command-line together with a trace. You can then use the usual vim fold commands, such as "za", to open and close nested functions. While closed, a fold will show the total time taken for a call, as would normally appear on the line with the closing brace. Folded functions will not include finish_task_switch(), so folding should remain relatively sane even through a context switch. Note that this will almost certainly only work well with a single-CPU trace (e.g. trace-cmd report --cpu 1). It also takes some time to run (a few seconds for a large trace on my laptop). Nevertheless, I found it very handy to get an overview of a trace and then drill down on problematic calls. Signed-off-by:

This converts the syscall_enter/exit tracepoints into TRACE_EVENTs, so you can have generic ftrace events that capture all system calls with arguments and return values. These generic events are also renamed to sys_enter/exit, so they're more closely aligned to the specific sys_enter_foo events. Signed-off-by:

It's not strictly correct for the tracepoint reg/unreg callbacks to occur when a client is hooking up, because the actual tracepoint may not be present yet. This happens to be fine for syscall, since that's in the core kernel, but it would cause problems for tracepoints defined in a module that hasn't been loaded yet. It also means the reg/unreg has to be EXPORTed for any modules to use the tracepoint (as in SystemTap). This patch removes DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK, and instead introduces DEFINE_TRACE_FN which stores the callbacks in struct tracepoint. The callbacks are used now when the active state of the tracepoint changes in set_tracepoint & disable_tracepoint. This also introduces TRACE_EVENT_FN, so ftrace events can also provide registration callbacks if needed. Signed-off-by:

The "format" file of a trace event is originally for parsers to parse ftrace binary output. But the "format" file of a syscall event can only be used by perfcounter, because it describes the format of struct syscall_enter_record not struct syscall_trace_enter. To fix this, we remove struct syscall_enter_record, and then struct syscall_trace_enter will be used by both perf profile and ftrace. Signed-off-by:

Commit fb34a08c ("tracing: Add trace events for each syscall entry/exit") changed the lowlevel API to ftrace syscall tracing but did not update s390 which started making use of it recently. This broke the s390 build, as reported by Paul Mundt. Update the callbacks with the syscall number and the syscall return code values. This allows per syscall tracepoints, syscall argument enumeration /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/ and perfcounters support and integration on s390 too. Reported-by:
