tracing/dynevent: Fix a memory leak in an error handling path

2021-04-13T16:29:48+00:00

We must free 'argv' before returning, as already done in all the other
paths of this function.

tracing/dynevent: Delegate parsing to create function

2021-02-09T17:52:15+00:00

Delegate command parsing to each create function so that the
command syntax can be customized.

This requires changes to the kprobe/uprobe/synthetic event handling,
which are also included here.

tracing: make tracing_init_dentry() returns an integer instead of a d_entry pointer

2020-09-19T02:17:14+00:00

Current tracing_init_dentry() return a d_entry pointer, while is not
necessary. This function returns NULL on success or error on failure,
which means there is no valid d_entry pointer return.

Let's return 0 on success and negative value for error.

tracing: Use seq_buf for building dynevent_cmd string

2020-02-01T18:10:15+00:00

The dynevent_cmd commands that build up the command string don't need
to do that themselves - there's a seq_buf facility that does pretty
much the same thing those command are doing manually, so use it
instead.

tracing: Remove useless code in dynevent_arg_pair_add()

The final addition to q is unnecessary, since q isn't ever used
afterwards.

tracing: Remove check_arg() callbacks from dynevent args

2020-02-01T18:09:23+00:00

It's kind of strange to have check_arg() callbacks as part of the arg
objects themselves; it makes more sense to just pass these in when the
args are added instead.

Remove the check_arg() callbacks from those objects which also means
removing the check_arg() args from the init functions, adding them to
the add functions and fixing up existing callers.

tracing: Add dynamic event command creation interface

2020-01-30T14:46:28+00:00

Add an interface used to build up dynamic event creation commands,
such as synthetic and kprobe events.  Interfaces specific to those
particular types of events and others can be built on top of this
interface.

Command creation is started by first using the dynevent_cmd_init()
function to initialize the dynevent_cmd object.  Following that, args
are appended and optionally checked by the dynevent_arg_add() and
dynevent_arg_pair_add() functions, which use objects representing
arguments and pairs of arguments, initialized respectively by
dynevent_arg_init() and dynevent_arg_pair_init().  Finally, once all
args have been successfully added, the command is finalized and
actually created using dynevent_create().

The code here for actually printing into the dyn_event->cmd buffer
using snprintf() etc was adapted from v4 of Masami's 'tracing/boot:
Add synthetic event support' patch.

tracing: Add tracing_check_open_get_tr()

2019-10-13T00:44:07+00:00

Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is
set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when
tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring
buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from
crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on
boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is
disabled until reboot.

As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs
directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array
associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is
freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array,
then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there
could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is
found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and
the trace_array associated with it freed).

Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a
single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to
tracefs later.
