ring-buffer: Fix polling on trace_pipe

2014-07-28T15:08:26+00:00

commit 97b8ee845393701edc06e27ccec2876ff9596019 upstream.

ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue
even there is immediate data available.  Otherwise, the following epoll and
read sequence will eventually hang forever:

1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first
2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee)
3. epoll_wait()
4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN
5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer
6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever

~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2,
  ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table,
  which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its
  wait_queue.
~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6,
  ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue
  because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works.
~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know
  it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue.
  Hence, block forever.

Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very
first thing to do.  For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

tracing: Add TRACE_ITER_PRINTK flag check in __trace_puts/__trace_bputs

2014-07-28T15:08:20+00:00

commit f0160a5a2912267c02cfe692eac955c360de5fdf upstream.

The TRACE_ITER_PRINTK check in __trace_puts/__trace_bputs is missing,
so add it, to be consistent with __trace_printk/__trace_bprintk.
Those functions are all called by the same function: trace_printk().

tracing: Add ftrace_trace_stack into __trace_puts/__trace_bputs

2014-07-28T15:08:20+00:00

commit 8abfb8727f4a724d31f9ccfd8013fbd16d539445 upstream.

Currently trace option stacktrace is not applicable for
trace_printk with constant string argument, the reason is
in __trace_puts/__trace_bputs ftrace_trace_stack is missing.

In contrast, when using trace_printk with non constant string
argument(will call into __trace_printk/__trace_bprintk), then
trace option stacktrace is workable, this inconstant result
will confuses users a lot.

tracing: Fix graph tracer with stack tracer on other archs

2014-07-28T15:08:20+00:00

commit 5f8bf2d263a20b986225ae1ed7d6759dc4b93af9 upstream.

Running my ftrace tests on PowerPC, it failed the test that checks
if function_graph tracer is affected by the stack tracer. It was.
Looking into this, I found that the update_function_graph_func()
must be called even if the trampoline function is not changed.
This is because archs like PowerPC do not support ftrace_ops being
passed by assembly and instead uses a helper function (what the
trampoline function points to). Since this function is not changed
even when multiple ftrace_ops are added to the code, the test that
falls out before calling update_function_graph_func() will miss that
the update must still be done.

Call update_function_graph_function() for all calls to
update_ftrace_function()

tracing: instance_rmdir() leaks ftrace_event_file->filter

commit 2448e3493cb3874baa90725c87869455ebf11cd2 upstream.

instance_rmdir() path destroys the event files but forgets to free
file->filter. Change remove_event_file_dir() to free_event_filter().

ring-buffer: Check if buffer exists before polling

2014-07-17T23:23:18+00:00

commit 8b8b36834d0fff67fc8668093f4312dd04dcf21d upstream.

The per_cpu buffers are created one per possible CPU. But these do
not mean that those CPUs are online, nor do they even exist.

With the addition of the ring buffer polling, it assumes that the
caller polls on an existing buffer. But this is not the case if
the user reads trace_pipe from a CPU that does not exist, and this
causes the kernel to crash.

Simple fix is to check the cpu against buffer bitmask against to see
if the buffer was allocated or not and return -ENODEV if it is
not.

More updates were done to pass the -ENODEV back up to userspace.

tracing/uprobes: Fix the usage of uprobe_buffer_enable() in probe_event_enable()

2014-07-09T18:21:31+00:00

commit fb6bab6a5ad46d00b5ffa22268f21df1cd7c59df upstream.

The usage of uprobe_buffer_enable() added by dcad1a20 is very wrong,

1. uprobe_buffer_enable() and uprobe_buffer_disable() are not balanced,
   _enable() should be called only if !enabled.

2. If uprobe_buffer_enable() fails probe_event_enable() should clear
   tp.flags and free event_file_link.

3. If uprobe_register() fails it should do uprobe_buffer_disable().

tracing/uprobes: Revert "Support mix of ftrace and perf"

2014-07-09T18:21:31+00:00

commit 48212542067a7ff6cbe829dbae279c2ff7557b44 upstream.

This reverts commit 43fe98913c9f67e3b523615ee3316f9520a623e0.

This patch is very wrong. Firstly, this change leads to unbalanced
uprobe_unregister(). Just for example,

	# perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 syscall
	# echo 1 >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/probe_libc/enable
	# perf record -e probe_libc:syscall whatever

after that uprobe is dead (unregistered) but the user of ftrace/perf
can't know this, and it looks as if nobody hits this probe.

This would be easy to fix, but there are other reasons why it is not
simple to mix ftrace and perf. If nothing else, they can't share the
same ->consumer.filter. This is fixable too, but probably we need to
fix the poorly designed uprobe_register() interface first. At least
"register" and "apply" should be clearly separated.

tracing: Try again for saved cmdline if failed due to locking

2014-07-07T01:59:12+00:00

commit 379cfdac37923653c9d4242d10052378b7563005 upstream.

In order to prevent the saved cmdline cache from being filled when
tracing is not active, the comms are only recorded after a trace event
is recorded.

The problem is, a comm can fail to be recorded if the trace_cmdline_lock
is held. That lock is taken via a trylock to allow it to happen from
any context (including NMI). If the lock fails to be taken, the comm
is skipped. No big deal, as we will try again later.

But! Because of the code that was added to only record after an event,
we may not try again later as the recording is made as a oneshot per
event per CPU.

Only disable the recording of the comm if the comm is actually recorded.
