tracing/kprobes: Check the probe on unloaded module correctly

2018-11-21T08:21:56+00:00

[ Upstream commit 59158ec4aef7d44be51a6f3e7e17fc64c32604eb ]

Current kprobe event doesn't checks correctly whether the
given event is on unloaded module or not. It just checks
the event has ":" in the name.

That is not enough because if we define a probe on non-exist
symbol on loaded module, it allows to define that (with
warning message)

To ensure it correctly, this searches the module name on
loaded module list and only if there is not, it allows to
define it. (this event will be available when the target
module is loaded)

tracing: Return -ENOENT if there is no target synthetic event

2018-11-13T19:12:52+00:00

commit 18858511fd8a877303cc34c06efa461b26a0e070 upstream.

Return -ENOENT error if there is no target synthetic event.
This notices an operation failure to user as below;

  # echo 'wakeup_latency u64 lat; pid_t pid;' > synthetic_events
  # echo '!wakeup' >> synthetic_events
  sh: write error: No such file or directory

tracing: Fix synthetic event to allow semicolon at end

2018-11-10T15:49:47+00:00

commit a360d9e4016c1fcf41553b37ad496870dc5723d0 upstream.

Fix synthetic event to allow independent semicolon at end.

The synthetic_events interface accepts a semicolon after the
last word if there is no space.

 # echo "myevent u64 var;" >> synthetic_events

But if there is a space, it returns an error.

 # echo "myevent u64 var ;" > synthetic_events
 sh: write error: Invalid argument

This behavior is difficult for users to understand. Let's
allow the last independent semicolon too.

tracing: Fix synthetic event to accept unsigned modifier

2018-11-10T15:49:47+00:00

commit 282447ba6b00c64678ffdf964f44e5c8b1c68377 upstream.

Fix synthetic event to accept unsigned modifier for its field type
correctly.

Currently, synthetic_events interface returns error for "unsigned"
modifiers as below;

 # echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
 sh: write error: Invalid argument

This is because argv_split() breaks "unsigned long" into "unsigned"
and "long", but parse_synth_field() doesn't expected it.

With this fix, synthetic_events can handle the "unsigned long"
correctly like as below;

 # echo "myevent unsigned long var" >> synthetic_events
 # cat synthetic_events
 myevent	unsigned long var

ring-buffer: Allow for rescheduling when removing pages

2018-09-29T09:55:57+00:00

commit 83f365554e47997ec68dc4eca3f5dce525cd15c3 upstream.

When reducing ring buffer size, pages are removed by scheduling a work
item on each CPU for the corresponding CPU ring buffer. After the pages
are removed from ring buffer linked list, the pages are free()d in a
tight loop. The loop does not give up CPU until all pages are removed.
In a worst case behavior, when lot of pages are to be freed, it can
cause system stall.

After the pages are removed from the list, the free() can happen while
the work is rescheduled. Call cond_resched() in the loop to prevent the
system hangup.

uprobes: Use synchronize_rcu() not synchronize_sched()

2018-09-09T08:32:36+00:00

commit 016f8ffc48cb01d1e7701649c728c5d2e737d295 upstream.

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.

tracing/blktrace: Fix to allow setting same value

2018-09-09T08:32:35+00:00

commit 757d9140072054528b13bbe291583d9823cde195 upstream.

Masami Hiramatsu reported:

  Current trace-enable attribute in sysfs returns an error
  if user writes the same setting value as current one,
  e.g.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    bash: echo: write error: Device or resource busy

  But this is not a preferred behavior, it should ignore
  if new setting is same as current one. This fixes the
  problem as below.

    # cat /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    0
    # echo 0 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable
    # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/trace/enable

tracing: Do not call start/stop() functions when tracing_on does not change

2018-09-09T08:32:35+00:00

commit f143641bfef9a4a60c57af30de26c63057e7e695 upstream.

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.

printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI

2018-09-05T07:29:42+00:00

commit 03fc7f9c99c1e7ae2925d459e8487f1a6f199f79 upstream.

The commit 719f6a7040f1bdaf96 ("printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI
when logbuf_lock is available") brought back the possible deadlocks
in printk() and NMI.

The check of logbuf_lock is done only in printk_nmi_enter() to prevent
mixed output. But another CPU might take the lock later, enter NMI, and:

      + Both NMIs might be serialized by yet another lock, for example,
	the one in nmi_cpu_backtrace().

      + The other CPU might get stopped in NMI, see smp_send_stop()
	in panic().

The only safe solution is to use trylock when storing the message
into the main log-buffer. It might cause reordering when some lines
go to the main lock buffer directly and others are delayed via
the per-CPU buffer. It means that it is not useful in general.

This patch replaces the problematic NMI deferred context with NMI
direct context. It can be used to mark a code that might produce
many messages in NMI and the risk of losing them is more critical
than problems with eventual reordering.

The context is then used when dumping trace buffers on oops. It was
the primary motivation for the original fix. Also the reordering is
even smaller issue there because some traces have their own time stamps.

Finally, nmi_cpu_backtrace() need not longer be serialized because
it will always us the per-CPU buffers again.

tracing: Quiet gcc warning about maybe unused link variable

2018-07-26T02:33:50+00:00

Commit 57ea2a34adf4 ("tracing/kprobes: Fix trace_probe flags on
enable_trace_kprobe() failure") added an if statement that depends on another
if statement that gcc doesn't see will initialize the "link" variable and
gives the warning:

 "warning: 'link' may be used uninitialized in this function"

It is really a false positive, but to quiet the warning, and also to make
sure that it never actually is used uninitialized, initialize the "link"
variable to NULL and add an if (!WARN_ON_ONCE(!link)) where the compiler
thinks it could be used uninitialized.
