function_graph: Reverse the order of pushing the ret_stack and the callback

2018-12-05T18:32:11+00:00

commit 7c6ea35ef50810aa12ab26f21cb858d980881576 upstream.

The function graph profiler uses the ret_stack to store the "subtime" and
reuse it by nested functions and also on the return. But the current logic
has the profiler callback called before the ret_stack is updated, and it is
just modifying the ret_stack that will later be allocated (it's just lucky
that the "subtime" is not touched when it is allocated).

This could also cause a crash if we are at the end of the ret_stack when
this happens.

By reversing the order of the allocating the ret_stack and then calling the
callbacks attached to a function being traced, the ret_stack entry is no
longer used before it is allocated.

function_graph: Move return callback before update of curr_ret_stack

2018-12-05T18:32:11+00:00

commit 552701dd0fa7c3d448142e87210590ba424694a0 upstream.

In the past, curr_ret_stack had two functions. One was to denote the depth
of the call graph, the other is to keep track of where on the ret_stack the
data is used. Although they may be slightly related, there are two cases
where they need to be used differently.

The one case is that it keeps the ret_stack data from being corrupted by an
interrupt coming in and overwriting the data still in use. The other is just
to know where the depth of the stack currently is.

The function profiler uses the ret_stack to save a "subtime" variable that
is part of the data on the ret_stack. If curr_ret_stack is modified too
early, then this variable can be corrupted.

The "max_depth" option, when set to 1, will record the first functions going
into the kernel. To see all top functions (when dealing with timings), the
depth variable needs to be lowered before calling the return hook. But by
lowering the curr_ret_stack, it makes the data on the ret_stack still being
used by the return hook susceptible to being overwritten.

Now that there's two variables to handle both cases (curr_ret_depth), we can
move them to the locations where they can handle both cases.

function_graph: Have profiler use curr_ret_stack and not depth

2018-12-05T18:32:10+00:00

commit b1b35f2e218a5b57d03bbc3b0667d5064570dc60 upstream.

The profiler uses trace->depth to find its entry on the ret_stack, but the
depth may not match the actual location of where its entry is (if an
interrupt were to preempt the processing of the profiler for another
function, the depth and the curr_ret_stack will be different).

Have it use the curr_ret_stack as the index to find its ret_stack entry
instead of using the depth variable, as that is no longer guaranteed to be
the same.

function_graph: Use new curr_ret_depth to manage depth instead of curr_ret_stack

2018-12-05T18:32:10+00:00

commit 39eb456dacb543de90d3bc6a8e0ac5cf51ac475e upstream.

Currently, the depth of the ret_stack is determined by curr_ret_stack index.
The issue is that there's a race between setting of the curr_ret_stack and
calling of the callback attached to the return of the function.

Commit 03274a3ffb44 ("tracing/fgraph: Adjust fgraph depth before calling
trace return callback") moved the calling of the callback to after the
setting of the curr_ret_stack, even stating that it was safe to do so, when
in fact, it was the reason there was a barrier() there (yes, I should have
commented that barrier()).

Not only does the curr_ret_stack keep track of the current call graph depth,
it also keeps the ret_stack content from being overwritten by new data.

The function profiler, uses the "subtime" variable of ret_stack structure
and by moving the curr_ret_stack, it allows for interrupts to use the same
structure it was using, corrupting the data, and breaking the profiler.

To fix this, there needs to be two variables to handle the call stack depth
and the pointer to where the ret_stack is being used, as they need to change
at two different locations.

function_graph: Make ftrace_push_return_trace() static

2018-12-05T18:32:10+00:00

commit d125f3f866df88da5a85df00291f88f0baa89f7c upstream.

As all architectures now call function_graph_enter() to do the entry work,
no architecture should ever call ftrace_push_return_trace(). Make it static.

This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack
is used.

function_graph: Create function_graph_enter() to consolidate architecture code

2018-12-05T18:32:09+00:00

commit 8114865ff82e200b383e46821c25cb0625b842b5 upstream.

Currently all the architectures do basically the same thing in preparing the
function graph tracer on entry to a function. This code can be pulled into a
generic location and then this will allow the function graph tracer to be
fixed, as well as extended.

Create a new function graph helper function_graph_enter() that will call the
hook function (ftrace_graph_entry) and the shadow stack operation
(ftrace_push_return_trace), and remove the need of the architecture code to
manage the shadow stack.

This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack
is used.

tracing/kprobes: Check the probe on unloaded module correctly

2018-11-21T08:19:09+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: Fix synthetic event to allow semicolon at end

2018-10-19T21:25:11+00:00

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

2018-10-19T21:25:11+00:00

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
