ftrace: Move RCU is watching check after recursion check

2020-10-14T07:48:15+00:00

commit b40341fad6cc2daa195f8090fd3348f18fff640a upstream.

The first thing that the ftrace function callback helper functions should do
is to check for recursion. Peter Zijlstra found that when
"rcu_is_watching()" had its notrace removed, it caused perf function tracing
to crash. This is because the call of rcu_is_watching() is tested before
function recursion is checked and and if it is traced, it will cause an
infinite recursion loop.

rcu_is_watching() should still stay notrace, but to prevent this should
never had crashed in the first place. The recursion prevention must be the
first thing done in callback functions.

tracing: Use address-of operator on section symbols

2020-10-01T18:40:10+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: Set kernel_stack's caller size properly

2020-10-01T18:40:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit cbc3b92ce037f5e7536f6db157d185cd8b8f615c ]

I noticed when trying to use the trace-cmd python interface that reading the raw
buffer wasn't working for kernel_stack events.  This is because it uses a
stubbed version of __dynamic_array that doesn't do the __data_loc trick and
encode the length of the array into the field.  Instead it just shows up as a
size of 0.  So change this to __array and set the len to FTRACE_STACK_ENTRIES
since this is what we actually do in practice and matches how user_stack_trace
works.

tracing/hwlat: Honor the tracing_cpumask

[ Upstream commit 96b4833b6827a62c295b149213c68b559514c929 ]

In calculation of the cpu mask for the hwlat kernel thread, the wrong
cpu mask is used instead of the tracing_cpumask, this causes the
tracing/tracing_cpumask useless for hwlat tracer. Fixes it.

ftrace: Setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for module

2020-08-21T09:02:08+00:00

commit 8a224ffb3f52b0027f6b7279854c71a31c48fc97 upstream.

When module loaded and enabled, we will use __ftrace_replace_code
for module if any ftrace_ops referenced it found. But we will get
wrong ftrace_addr for module rec in ftrace_get_addr_new, because
rec->flags has not been setup correctly. It can cause the callback
function of a ftrace_ops has FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS to be called
with pt_regs set to NULL.
So setup correct FTRACE_FL_REGS flags for rec when we call
referenced_filters to find ftrace_ops references it.

tracing: Fix event trigger to accept redundant spaces

2020-06-30T19:38:45+00:00

commit 6784beada631800f2c5afd567e5628c843362cee upstream.

Fix the event trigger to accept redundant spaces in
the trigger input.

For example, these return -EINVAL

echo " traceon" > events/ftrace/print/trigger
echo "traceon  if common_pid == 0" > events/ftrace/print/trigger
echo "disable_event:kmem:kmalloc " > events/ftrace/print/trigger

But these are hard to find what is wrong.

To fix this issue, use skip_spaces() to remove spaces
in front of actual tokens, and set NULL if there is no
token.

blktrace: break out of blktrace setup on concurrent calls

2020-06-30T19:38:43+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1b0b283648163dae2a214ca28ed5a99f62a77319 ]

We use one blktrace per request_queue, that means one per the entire
disk.  So we cannot run one blktrace on say /dev/vda and then /dev/vda1,
or just two calls on /dev/vda.

We check for concurrent setup only at the very end of the blktrace setup though.

If we try to run two concurrent blktraces on the same block device the
second one will fail, and the first one seems to go on. However when
one tries to kill the first one one will see things like this:

The kernel will show these:

```
debugfs: File 'dropped' in directory 'nvme1n1' already present!
debugfs: File 'msg' in directory 'nvme1n1' already present!
debugfs: File 'trace0' in directory 'nvme1n1' already present!
``

And userspace just sees this error message for the second call:

```
blktrace /dev/nvme1n1
BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/nvme1n1 failed: 5/Input/output error
```

The first userspace process #1 will also claim that the files
were taken underneath their nose as well. The files are taken
away form the first process given that when the second blktrace
fails, it will follow up with a BLKTRACESTOP and BLKTRACETEARDOWN.
This means that even if go-happy process #1 is waiting for blktrace
data, we *have* been asked to take teardown the blktrace.

This can easily be reproduced with break-blktrace [0] run_0005.sh test.

Just break out early if we know we're already going to fail, this will
prevent trying to create the files all over again, which we know still
exist.

Stop the ad-hoc games with -Wno-maybe-initialized

2020-05-20T06:15:37+00:00

commit 78a5255ffb6a1af189a83e493d916ba1c54d8c75 upstream.

We have some rather random rules about when we accept the
"maybe-initialized" warnings, and when we don't.

For example, we consider it unreliable for gcc versions < 4.9, but also
if -O3 is enabled, or if optimizing for size.  And then various kernel
config options disabled it, because they know that they trigger that
warning by confusing gcc sufficiently (ie PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES).

And now gcc-10 seems to be introducing a lot of those warnings too, so
it falls under the same heading as 4.9 did.

At the same time, we have a very straightforward way to _enable_ that
warning when wanted: use "W=2" to enable more warnings.

So stop playing these ad-hoc games, and just disable that warning by
default, with the known and straight-forward "if you want to work on the
extra compiler warnings, use W=123".

Would it be great to have code that is always so obvious that it never
confuses the compiler whether a variable is used initialized or not?
Yes, it would.  In a perfect world, the compilers would be smarter, and
our source code would be simpler.

That's currently not the world we live in, though.
