<title>ftrace: Still disable enabled records marked as disabled</title>

commit cf04f2d5df0037741207382ac8fe289e8bf84ced upstream.

Weak functions started causing havoc as they showed up in the
"available_filter_functions" and this confused people as to why some
functions marked as "notrace" were listed, but when enabled they did
nothing. This was because weak functions can still have fentry calls, and
these addresses get added to the "available_filter_functions" file.
kallsyms is what converts those addresses to names, and since the weak
functions are not listed in kallsyms, it would just pick the function
before that.

To solve this, there was a trick to detect weak functions listed, and
these records would be marked as DISABLED so that they do not get enabled
and are mostly ignored. As the processing of the list of all functions to
figure out what is weak or not can take a long time, this process is put
off into a kernel thread and run in parallel with the rest of start up.

Now the issue happens whet function tracing is enabled via the kernel
command line. As it starts very early in boot up, it can be enabled before
the records that are weak are marked to be disabled. This causes an issue
in the accounting, as the weak records are enabled by the command line
function tracing, but after boot up, they are not disabled.

The ftrace records have several accounting flags and a ref count. The
DISABLED flag is just one. If the record is enabled before it is marked
DISABLED it will get an ENABLED flag and also have its ref counter
incremented. After it is marked for DISABLED, neither the ENABLED flag nor
the ref counter is cleared. There's sanity checks on the records that are
performed after an ftrace function is registered or unregistered, and this
detected that there were records marked as ENABLED with ref counter that
should not have been.

Note, the module loading code uses the DISABLED flag as well to keep its
functions from being modified while its being loaded and some of these
flags may get set in this process. So changing the verification code to
ignore DISABLED records is a no go, as it still needs to verify that the
module records are working too.

Also, the weak functions still are calling a trampoline. Even though they
should never be called, it is dangerous to leave these weak functions
calling a trampoline that is freed, so they should still be set back to
nops.

There's two places that need to not skip records that have the ENABLED
and the DISABLED flags set. That is where the ftrace_ops is processed and
sets the records ref counts, and then later when the function itself is to
be updated, and the ENABLED flag gets removed. Add a helper function
"skip_record()" that returns true if the record has the DISABLED flag set
but not the ENABLED flag.

<title>ftrace: Properly unset FTRACE_HASH_FL_MOD</title>

commit 0ce0638edf5ec83343302b884fa208179580700a upstream.

When executing following commands like what document said, but the log
"#### all functions enabled ####" was not shown as expect:
  1. Set a 'mod' filter:
    $ echo 'write*:mod:ext3' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  2. Invert above filter:
    $ echo '!write*:mod:ext3' &gt;&gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  3. Read the file:
    $ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

By some debugging, I found that flag FTRACE_HASH_FL_MOD was not unset
after inversion like above step 2 and then result of ftrace_hash_empty()
is incorrect.

The change that made IPMODIFY and DIRECT ops work together needed access
to the ops_references_ip() function, which it pulled out of the module
only code. But now if both CONFIG_MODULES and
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS is not set, we get the below
warning:

    ‘ops_references_rec’ defined but not used.

Since ops_references_rec() only calls ops_references_ip() replace the
usage of ops_references_rec() with ops_references_ip() and encompass the
function with an #ifdef of DIRECT_CALLS || MODULES being defined.

ftrace_startup does not remove ops from ftrace_ops_list when
ftrace_startup_enable fails:

register_ftrace_function
  ftrace_startup
    __register_ftrace_function
      ...
      add_ftrace_ops(&amp;ftrace_ops_list, ops)
      ...
    ...
    ftrace_startup_enable // if ftrace failed to modify, ftrace_disabled is set to 1
    ...
  return 0 // ops is in the ftrace_ops_list.

When ftrace_disabled = 1, unregister_ftrace_function simply returns without doing anything:
unregister_ftrace_function
  ftrace_shutdown
    if (unlikely(ftrace_disabled))
            return -ENODEV;  // return here, __unregister_ftrace_function is not executed,
                             // as a result, ops is still in the ftrace_ops_list
    __unregister_ftrace_function
    ...

If ops is dynamically allocated, it will be free later, in this case,
is_ftrace_trampoline accesses NULL pointer:

is_ftrace_trampoline
  ftrace_ops_trampoline
    do_for_each_ftrace_op(op, ftrace_ops_list) // OOPS! op may be NULL!

<title>ftrace: Allow IPMODIFY and DIRECT ops on the same function</title>

<id>53cd885bc5c3ea283cc9c00ca6446c778f00bfba</id>
<content type='text'>
IPMODIFY (livepatch) and DIRECT (bpf trampoline) ops are both important
users of ftrace. It is necessary to allow them work on the same function
at the same time.

First, DIRECT ops no longer specify IPMODIFY flag. Instead, DIRECT flag is
handled together with IPMODIFY flag in __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify().

Then, a callback function, ops_func, is added to ftrace_ops. This is used
by ftrace core code to understand whether the DIRECT ops can share with an
IPMODIFY ops. To share with IPMODIFY ops, the DIRECT ops need to implement
the callback function and adjust the direct trampoline accordingly.

If DIRECT ops is attached before the IPMODIFY ops, ftrace core code calls
ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY_PEER on the DIRECT ops before registering the
IPMODIFY ops.

If IPMODIFY ops is attached before the DIRECT ops, ftrace core code calls
ENABLE_SHARE_IPMODIFY_SELF in __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify. Owner of the
DIRECT ops may return 0 if the DIRECT trampoline can share with IPMODIFY,
so error code otherwise. The error code is propagated to
register_ftrace_direct_multi so that onwer of the DIRECT trampoline can
handle it properly.

For more details, please refer to comment before enum ftrace_ops_cmd.

This is similar to modify_ftrace_direct_multi, but does not acquire
direct_mutex. This is useful when direct_mutex is already locked by the

We want to store the resolved address on the same index as
the symbol string, because that's the user (bpf kprobe link)
code assumption.

Also making sure we don't store duplicates that might be
present in kallsyms.

We want to store the resolved address on the same index as
the symbol string, because that's the user (bpf kprobe link)
code assumption.

Also making sure we don't store duplicates that might be
present in kallsyms.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The majority of the changes are for fixes and clean ups.

  Notable changes:

   - Rework trace event triggers code to be easier to interact with.

   - Support for embedding bootconfig with the kernel (as suppose to
     having it embedded in initram). This is useful for embedded boards
     without initram disks.

   - Speed up boot by parallelizing the creation of tracefs files.

   - Allow absolute ring buffer timestamps handle timestamps that use
     more than 59 bits.

   - Added new tracing clock "TAI" (International Atomic Time)

   - Have weak functions show up in available_filter_function list as:
     __ftrace_invalid_address___&lt;invalid-offset&gt; instead of using the
     name of the function before it"

* tag 'trace-v5.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (52 commits)
  ftrace: Add FTRACE_MCOUNT_MAX_OFFSET to avoid adding weak function
  tracing: Fix comments for event_trigger_separate_filter()
  x86/traceponit: Fix comment about irq vector tracepoints
  x86,tracing: Remove unused headers
  ftrace: Clean up hash direct_functions on register failures
  tracing: Fix comments of create_filter()
  tracing: Disable kcov on trace_preemptirq.c
  tracing: Initialize integer variable to prevent garbage return value
  ftrace: Fix typo in comment
  ftrace: Remove return value of ftrace_arch_modify_*()
  tracing: Cleanup code by removing init "char *name"
  tracing: Change "char *" string form to "char []"
  tracing/timerlat: Do not wakeup the thread if the trace stops at the IRQ
  tracing/timerlat: Print stacktrace in the IRQ handler if needed
  tracing/timerlat: Notify IRQ new max latency only if stop tracing is set
  kprobes: Fix build errors with CONFIG_KRETPROBES=n
  tracing: Fix return value of trace_pid_write()
  tracing: Fix potential double free in create_var_ref()
  tracing: Use strim() to remove whitespace instead of doing it manually
  ftrace: Deal with error return code of the ftrace_process_locs() function
  ...
