tracing: Fix userstacktrace option for instances

2020-12-11T12:23:32+00:00

commit bcee5278958802b40ee8b26679155a6d9231783e upstream.

When the instances were able to use their own options, the userstacktrace
option was left hardcoded for the top level. This made the instance
userstacktrace option bascially into a nop, and will confuse users that set
it, but nothing happens (I was confused when it happened to me!)

tracing: Fix the checking of stackidx in __ftrace_trace_stack

2020-11-18T18:20:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit 906695e59324635c62b5ae59df111151a546ca66 ]

The array size is FTRACE_KSTACK_NESTING, so the index FTRACE_KSTACK_NESTING
is illegal too. And fix two typos by the way.

tracing: Fix out of bounds write in get_trace_buf

2020-11-10T11:37:28+00:00

commit c1acb4ac1a892cf08d27efcb964ad281728b0545 upstream.

The nesting count of trace_printk allows for 4 levels of nesting. The
nesting counter starts at zero and is incremented before being used to
retrieve the current context's buffer. But the index to the buffer uses the
nesting counter after it was incremented, and not its original number,
which in needs to do.

tracing: Make the space reserved for the pid wider

2020-10-07T06:01:27+00:00

[ Upstream commit 795d6379a47bcbb88bd95a69920e4acc52849f88 ]

For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to
4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs
but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default
becomes 131072 which needs six digits.
This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the
initial upper limit.

Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The
result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a
little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like
on big iron with 98+ CPUs).

Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

tracing: Use address-of operator on section symbols

2020-10-01T11:17:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit bf2cbe044da275021b2de5917240411a19e5c50d ]

Clang warns:

../kernel/trace/trace.c:9335:33: warning: array comparison always
evaluates to true [-Wtautological-compare]
        if (__stop___trace_bprintk_fmt != __start___trace_bprintk_fmt)
                                       ^
1 warning generated.

These are not true arrays, they are linker defined symbols, which are
just addresses. Using the address of operator silences the warning and
does not change the runtime result of the check (tested with some print
statements compiled in with clang + ld.lld and gcc + ld.bfd in QEMU).

tracing: Move pipe reference to trace array instead of current_tracer

2020-08-21T11:05:27+00:00

commit 7ef282e05132d56b6f6b71e3873f317664bea78b upstream.

If a process has the trace_pipe open on a trace_array, the current tracer
for that trace array should not be changed. This was original enforced by a
global lock, but when instances were introduced, it was moved to the
current_trace. But this structure is shared by all instances, and a
trace_pipe is for a single instance. There's no reason that a process that
has trace_pipe open on one instance should prevent another instance from
changing its current tracer. Move the reference counter to the trace_array
instead.

This is marked as "Fixes" but is more of a clean up than a true fix.
Backport if you want, but its not critical.

tracing: Add a vmalloc_sync_mappings() for safe measure

2020-05-14T05:58:25+00:00

commit 11f5efc3ab66284f7aaacc926e9351d658e2577b upstream.

x86_64 lazily maps in the vmalloc pages, and the way this works with per_cpu
areas can be complex, to say the least. Mappings may happen at boot up, and
if nothing synchronizes the page tables, those page mappings may not be
synced till they are used. This causes issues for anything that might touch
one of those mappings in the path of the page fault handler. When one of
those unmapped mappings is touched in the page fault handler, it will cause
another page fault, which in turn will cause a page fault, and leave us in
a loop of page faults.

Commit 763802b53a42 ("x86/mm: split vmalloc_sync_all()") split
vmalloc_sync_all() into vmalloc_sync_unmappings() and
vmalloc_sync_mappings(), as on system exit, it did not need to do a full
sync on x86_64 (although it still needed to be done on x86_32). By chance,
the vmalloc_sync_all() would synchronize the page mappings done at boot up
and prevent the per cpu area from being a problem for tracing in the page
fault handler. But when that synchronization in the exit of a task became a
nop, it caused the problem to appear.

tracing: Disable trace_printk() on post poned tests

2020-03-05T15:43:43+00:00

commit 78041c0c9e935d9ce4086feeff6c569ed88ddfd4 upstream.

The tracing seftests checks various aspects of the tracing infrastructure,
and one is filtering. If trace_printk() is active during a self test, it can
cause the filtering to fail, which will disable that part of the trace.

To keep the selftests from failing because of trace_printk() calls,
trace_printk() checks the variable tracing_selftest_running, and if set, it
does not write to the tracing buffer.

As some tracers were registered earlier in boot, the selftest they triggered
would fail because not all the infrastructure was set up for the full
selftest. Thus, some of the tests were post poned to when their
infrastructure was ready (namely file system code). The postpone code did
not set the tracing_seftest_running variable, and could fail if a
trace_printk() was added and executed during their run.
