Fix within_notrace_func() to check notrace function correctly. Since the ftrace_location_range(start, end) function checks the range inclusively (start <= ftrace-loc <= end), the end address must not include the entry address of next function. However, within_notrace_func() uses kallsyms_lookup_size_offset() to get the function size and calculate the end address from adding the size to the entry address. This means the end address is the entry address of the next function. In the result, within_notrace_func() fails to find notrace function if the next function of the target function is ftraced. Let's subtract 1 from the end address so that ftrace_location_range() can check it correctly.

The Linux kernel adopted the SPDX License format headers to ease license compliance management, and uses the C++ '//' style comments for the SPDX header tags. Some files in the tracing directory used the C style /* */ comments for them. To be consistent across all files, replace the /* */ C style SPDX tags with the C++ // SPDX tags.

Utilize -mfentry and -mnop-mcount gcc options together with -mrecord-mcount to get compiler generated calls to the profiling functions as nops which are compatible with current -mhotpatch=0,3 approach. At the same time -mrecord-mcount enables __mcount_loc section generation by the compiler which allows to avoid using scripts/recordmcount.pl script.

-mcount-nop gcc option generates the calls to the profiling functions as nops which allows to avoid patching mcount jump with NOP instructions initially. -mcount-nop gcc option will be activated if platform selects HAVE_NOP_MCOUNT and gcc actually supports it. In addition to that CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT is defined and could be used by architectures to adapt ftrace patching behavior.

Currently if CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD is enabled -mrecord-mcount compiler flag support is tested for every Makefile. Top 4 cc-option usages: 511 -mrecord-mcount 11 -fno-stack-protector 9 -Wno-override-init 2 -fsched-pressure To address that move cc-option from scripts/Makefile.build to top Makefile and export CC_USING_RECORD_MCOUNT to be used in original place.

CC_FLAGS_FTRACE is exported and later used to remove ftrace relevant build flags from files which should be built without ftrace support. For that reason add -mfentry to CC_FLAGS_FTRACE as well. That fixes a problem with vdso32 build on s390, where -mfentry could not be used together with -m31 flag. At the same time flags like -pg and -mfentry are not relevant for asm files, so avoid adding them to KBUILD_AFLAGS. Introduce CC_FLAGS_USING instead of CC_USING_FENTRY to collect -DCC_USING_FENTRY (and future alike) which are relevant for both KBUILD_CFLAGS and KBUILD_AFLAGS.

While debugging another bug, I was looking at all the synchronize*() functions being used in kernel/trace, and noticed that trace_uprobes was using synchronize_sched(), with a comment to synchronize with {u,ret}_probe_trace_func(). When looking at those functions, the data is protected with "rcu_read_lock()" and not with "rcu_read_lock_sched()". This is using the wrong synchronize_*() function.

Now that some trace events can be protected by srcu_read_lock(tracepoint_srcu), we need to make sure all locations that depend on this are also protected. There were many places that did a synchronize_sched() thinking that it was enough to protect againts access to trace events. This use to be the case, but now that we use SRCU for _rcuidle() trace events, they may not be protected by synchronize_sched(), as they may be called in paths that RCU is not watching for preempt disable.

Joel Fernandes created a nice patch that cleaned up the duplicate hooks used by lockdep and irqsoff latency tracer. It made both use tracepoints. But the latency tracer is triggering warnings when using tracepoints to call into the latency tracer's routines. Mainly, they can be called from NMI context. If that happens, then the SRCU may not work properly because on some architectures, SRCU is not safe to be called in both NMI and non-NMI context. This is a partial revert of the clean up patch c3bc8fd6 ("tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage") that adds back the direct calls into the latency tracer. It also only calls the trace events when not in NMI.

This warning is to make sure preempt_count is set because tracer_hardirqs_on() does a preempt_enable_notrace() to make the preempt_trace() work properly, as being called by a trace event, the trace event code disables preemption, and the tracer wants to know what the preemption was before it was called. Instead of enabling preemption like this, just record the preempt_count, subtract PREEMPT_DISABLE_OFFSET from it (which is zero with !CONFIG_PREEMPT set), and pass that value to the necessary functions, which should use the passed in parameter instead of calling preempt_count() directly.

Recently we tried to make the preemptirqsoff tracer to use irqsoff tracepoint probes. However this causes issues as reported by Masami: [2.271078] Testing tracer preemptirqsoff: .. no entries found ..FAILED! [2.381015] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/kernel/ trace/trace.c:1512 run_tracer_selftest+0xf3/0x154 This is due to the tracepoint code increasing the preempt nesting count by calling an additional preempt_disable before calling into the preemptoff tracer which messes up the preempt_count() check in tracer_hardirqs_off. To fix this, make the irqsoff tracer probes balance the additional outer preempt_disable with a preempt_enable_notrace. The other way to fix this is to just use SRCU for all tracepoints. However we can't do that because we can't use NMIs from RCU context.

Since we switched to using SRCU for tracepoints used in the idle path, we can no longer use rcu_dereference_sched for dereferencing points in trace-event hooks. Since tracepoints can now use either SRCU or sched-RCU, just use rcu_dereference_raw for traceevents just like we're doing when dereferencing the tracepoint table.

Fix within_notrace_func() to check only notrace functions and to ignore the kprobe-event which can not solve symbol addresses. within_notrace_func() returns true if the given kprobe events probe point seems to be out-of-range. But that is not the correct place to check for it, it should be done in kprobes afterwards. kprobe-events allow users to define a probe point on "currently unloaded module" so that it can trace the event during module load. In this case, the user will put a probe on a symbol which is not in kallsyms yet and it hits the within_notrace_func(). As a result, kprobe-events always refuses if user defines a probe on a "currenly unloaded module".

There's code that expects tracer_tracing_is_on() to be either true or false, not some random number. Currently, it should only return one or zero, but just in case, change its return value to bool, to enforce it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The start function of the hwlat tracer should never be called when the hwlat thread already exists. If it is called, do a WARN_ON(). Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The hwlat tracer uses a kernel thread to measure latencies. The function that creates this kernel thread, start_kthread(), can be called when the tracer is initialized and when the tracer is explicitly enabled. start_kthread() does not check if there is an existing hwlat kernel thread and will create a new one each time it is called. This causes the reference to the previous thread to be lost. Without the thread reference, the old kernel thread becomes unstoppable and continues to use CPU time even after the hwlat tracer has been disabled. This problem can be observed when a system is booted with tracing enabled and the hwlat tracer is configured like this: echo hwlat > current_tracer; echo 1 > tracing_on Add the missing check for an existing kernel thread in start_kthread() to prevent this problem. This function and the rest of the hwlat kernel thread setup and teardown are already serialized because they are called through the tracer core code with trace_type_lock held. [ Note, this only fixes the symptom. The real fix was not to call this function when tracing_on was already one. But this still makes the code more robust, so we'll add it. ] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1533120354-22923-1-git-send-email-erica.bugden@linutronix.deSigned-off-by: Erica Bugden <erica.bugden@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Currently, when one echo's in 1 into tracing_on, the current tracer's "start()" function is executed, even if tracing_on was already one. This can lead to strange side effects. One being that if the hwlat tracer is enabled, and someone does "echo 1 > tracing_on" into tracing_on, the hwlat tracer's start() function is called again which will recreate another kernel thread, and make it unable to remove the old one.

tracefs_ops is initialized inside tracefs_create_instance_dir and not modified after. tracefs_create_instance_dir allows for initialization only once, and is called from create_trace_instances(marked __init), which is called from tracer_init_tracefs(marked __init). Also, mark tracefs_create_instance_dir as __init.

This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and keeps it separate. Advantages: * Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer have their own calls. * This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson event, and a preemptoff and preempton event. 3 users of the events exist: - Lockdep - irqsoff and preemptoff tracers - irqs and preempt trace events The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in lines of code in this patch is quite large too. In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With this, the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its users becomes: PREEMPT_TRACER PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING | | \ | | \ (selects) / \ \ (selects) / TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE ----> TRACE_IRQFLAGS \ / \ (depends on) / PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are passing. I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed working. This series + lockdep probes not registered (just to inject errors): [ 0.000000] hard-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/12:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/21:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/12:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/12:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/21:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/21:FAILED|FAILED| ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | With this series + lockdep probes registered, all locking tests pass: [ 0.000000] hard-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/12: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] sirq-safe-A => hirqs-on/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/12: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/12: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + irqs-on/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + irqs-on/21: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] hard-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | [ 0.000000] soft-safe-A + unsafe-B #1/123: ok | ok | ok | Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180730222423.196630-4-joel@joelfernandes.orgAcked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

In recent tests with IRQ on/off tracepoints, a large performance overhead ~10% is noticed when running hackbench. This is root caused to calls to rcu_irq_enter_irqson and rcu_irq_exit_irqson from the tracepoint code. Following a long discussion on the list [1] about this, we concluded that srcu is a better alternative for use during rcu idle. Although it does involve extra barriers, its lighter than the sched-rcu version which has to do additional RCU calls to notify RCU idle about entry into RCU sections. In this patch, we change the underlying implementation of the trace_*_rcuidle API to use SRCU. This has shown to improve performance alot for the high frequency irq enable/disable tracepoints. Test: Tested idle and preempt/irq tracepoints. Here are some performance numbers: With a run of the following 30 times on a single core x86 Qemu instance with 1GB memory: hackbench -g 4 -f 2 -l 3000 Completion times in seconds. CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y. No patches (without this series) Mean: 3.048 Median: 3.025 Std Dev: 0.064 With Lockdep using irq tracepoints with RCU implementation: Mean: 3.451 (-11.66 %) Median: 3.447 (-12.22%) Std Dev: 0.049 With Lockdep using irq tracepoints with SRCU implementation (this series): Mean: 3.020 (I would consider the improvement against the "without this series" case as just noise).

get_cpu_var disables preemption which has the potential to call into the preemption disable trace points causing some complications. There's also no need to disable preemption in uses of get_lock_stats anyway since preempt is already disabled. So lets simplify the code.

Prohibit kprobe-events probing on notrace functions. Since probing on a notrace function can cause a recursive event call. In most cases those are just skipped, but in some cases it falls into an infinite recursive call. This protection can be disabled by the kconfig CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y, but it is highly recommended to keep it "n" for normal kernel builds. Note that this is only available if "kprobes on ftrace" has been implemented on the target arch and CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y.
