git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Extend tracing option mask to 64 bits The trace options were defined by a 32 bit variable. This limits the tracing instances to have a total of 32 different options. As that limit has been hit, and more options are being added, increase the option mask to a 64 bit number, doubling the number of options available. As this is required for the kprobe topic branches as well as the tracing topic branch, a separate branch was created and merged into both. - Make trace_user_fault_read() available for the rest of tracing The function trace_user_fault_read() is used by trace_marker file read to allow reading user space to be done fast and without locking or allocations. Make this available so that the system call trace events can use it too. - Have system call trace events read user space values Now that the system call trace events callbacks are called in a faultable context, take advantage of this and read the user space buffers for various system calls. For example, show the path name of the openat system call instead of just showing the pointer to that path name in user space. Also show the contents of the buffer of the write system call. Several system call trace events are updated to make tracing into a light weight strace tool for all applications in the system. - Update perf system call tracing to do the same - And a config and syscall_user_buf_size file to control the size of the buffer Limit the amount of data that can be read from user space. The default size is 63 bytes but that can be expanded to 165 bytes. - Allow the persistent ring buffer to print system calls normally The persistent ring buffer prints trace events by their type and ignores the print_fmt. This is because the print_fmt may change from kernel to kernel. As the system call output is fixed by the system call ABI itself, there's no reason to limit that. This makes reading the system call events in the persistent ring buffer much nicer and easier to understand. - Add options to show text offset to function profiler The function profiler that counts the number of times a function is hit currently lists all functions by its name and offset. But this becomes ambiguous when there are several functions with the same name. Add a tracing option that changes the output to be that of '_text+offset' instead. Now a user space tool can use this information to map the '_text+offset' to the unique function it is counting. - Report bad dynamic event command If a bad command is passed to the dynamic_events file, report it properly in the error log. - Clean up tracer options Clean up the tracer option code a bit, by removing some useless code and also using switch statements instead of a series of if statements. - Have tracing options be instance specific Tracers can have their own options (function tracer, irqsoff tracer, function graph tracer, etc). But now that the same tracer can be enabled in multiple trace instances, their options are still global. The API is per instance, thus changing one affects other instances. This isn't even consistent, as the option take affect differently depending on when an tracer started in an instance. Make the options for instances only affect the instance it is changed under. - Optimize pid_list lock contention Whenever the pid_list is read, it uses a spin lock. This happens at every sched switch. Taking the lock at sched switch can be removed by instead using a seqlock counter. - Clean up the trace trigger structures The trigger code uses two different structures to implement a single tigger. This was due to trying to reuse code for the two different types of triggers (always on trigger, and count limited trigger). But by adding a single field to one structure, the other structure could be absorbed into the first structure making he code easier to understand. - Create a bulk garbage collector for trace triggers If user space has triggers for several hundreds of events and then removes them, it can take several seconds to complete. This is because each removal calls tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() that can take hundreds of milliseconds to complete. Instead, create a helper thread that will do the clean up. When a trigger is removed, it will create the kthread if it isn't already created, and then add the trigger to a llist. The kthread will take the items off the llist, call tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(), and then remove the items it took off. It will then check if there's more items to free before sleeping. This makes user space removing all these triggers to finish in less than a second. - Allow function tracing of some of the tracing infrastructure code Because the tracing code can cause recursion issues if it is traced by the function tracer the entire tracing directory disables function tracing. But not all of tracing causes issues if it is traced. Namely, the event tracing code. Add a config that enables some of the tracing code to be traced to help in debugging it. Note, when this is enabled, it does add noise to general function tracing, especially if events are enabled as well (which is a common case). - Add boot-time backup instance for persistent buffer The persistent ring buffer is used mostly for kernel crash analysis in the field. One issue is that if there's a crash, the data in the persistent ring buffer must be read before tracing can begin using it. This slows down the boot process. Once tracing starts in the persistent ring buffer, the old data must be freed and the addresses no longer match and old events can't be in the buffer with new events. Create a way to create a backup buffer that copies the persistent ring buffer at boot up. Then after a crash, the always on tracer can begin immediately as well as the normal boot process while the crash analysis tooling uses the backup buffer. After the backup buffer is finished being read, it can be removed. - Enable function graph args and return address options at the same time Currently the when reading of arguments in the function graph tracer is enabled, the option to record the parent function in the entry event can not be enabled. Update the code so that it can. - Add new struct_offset() helper macro Add a new macro that takes a pointer to a structure and a name of one of its members and it will return the offset of that member. This allows the ring buffer code to simplify the following: From: size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id)); To: size = struct_offset(entry, id) + cnt; There should be other simplifications that this macro can help out with as well * tag 'trace-v6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (42 commits) overflow: Introduce struct_offset() to get offset of member function_graph: Enable funcgraph-args and funcgraph-retaddr to work simultaneously tracing: Add boot-time backup of persistent ring buffer ftrace: Allow tracing of some of the tracing code tracing: Use strim() in trigger_process_regex() instead of skip_spaces() tracing: Add bulk garbage collection of freeing event_trigger_data tracing: Remove unneeded event_mutex lock in event_trigger_regex_release() tracing: Merge struct event_trigger_ops into struct event_command tracing: Remove get_trigger_ops() and add count_func() from trigger ops tracing: Show the tracer options in boot-time created instance ftrace: Avoid redundant initialization in register_ftrace_direct tracing: Remove unused variable in tracing_trace_options_show() fgraph: Make fgraph_no_sleep_time signed tracing: Convert function graph set_flags() to use a switch() statement tracing: Have function graph tracer option sleep-time be per instance tracing: Move graph-time out of function graph options tracing: Have function graph tracer option funcgraph-irqs be per instance trace/pid_list: optimize pid_list->lock contention tracing: Have function graph tracer define options per instance tracing: Have function tracer define options per instance ...
2025-11-26tracing: Merge struct event_trigger_ops into struct event_commandSteven Rostedt
Now that there's pretty much a one to one mapping between the struct event_trigger_ops and struct event_command, there's no reason to have two different structures. Merge the function pointers of event_trigger_ops into event_command. There's one exception in trace_events_hist.c for the event_hist_trigger_named_ops. This has special logic for the init and free function pointers for "named histograms". In this case, allocate the cmd_ops of the event_trigger_data and set it to the proper init and free functions, which are used to initialize and free the event_trigger_data respectively. Have the free function and the init function (on failure) free the cmd_ops of the data element.

2025-11-26tracing: Remove get_trigger_ops() and add count_func() from trigger opsSteven Rostedt
The struct event_command has a callback function called get_trigger_ops(). This callback returns the "trigger_ops" to use for the trigger. These ops define the trigger function, how to init the trigger, how to print the trigger and how to free it. The only reason there's a callback function to get these ops is because some triggers have two types of operations. One is an "always on" operation, and the other is a "count down" operation. If a user passes in a parameter to say how many times the trigger should execute. For example: echo stacktrace:5 > events/kmem/kmem_cache_alloc/trigger It will trigger the stacktrace for the first 5 times the kmem_cache_alloc event is hit. Instead of having two different trigger_ops since the only difference between them is the tigger itself (the print, init and free functions are all the same), just use a single ops that the event_command points to and add a function field to the trigger_ops to have a count_func. When a trigger is added to an event, if there's a count attached to it and the trigger ops has the count_func field, the data allocated to represent this trigger will have a new flag set called COUNT. Then when the trigger executes, it will check if the COUNT data flag is set, and if so, it will call the ops count_func(). If that returns false, it returns without executing the trigger. This removes the need for duplicate event_trigger_ops structures.

2025-11-06tracing: Fix memory leaks in create_field_var()Zilin Guan
The function create_field_var() allocates memory for 'val' through create_hist_field() inside parse_atom(), and for 'var' through create_var(), which in turn allocates var->type and var->var.name internally. Simply calling kfree() to release these structures will result in memory leaks. Use destroy_hist_field() to properly free 'val', and explicitly release the memory of var->type and var->var.name before freeing 'var' itself.

2025-05-09tracing: Rename event_trigger_alloc() to trigger_data_alloc()Steven Rostedt
The function event_trigger_alloc() creates an event_trigger_data descriptor and states that it needs to be freed via event_trigger_free(). This is incorrect, it needs to be freed by trigger_data_free() as event_trigger_free() adds ref counting. Rename event_trigger_alloc() to trigger_data_alloc() and state that it needs to be freed via trigger_data_free(). This naming convention was introducing bugs.

2025-05-06tracing: Add common_comm to histogramsSteven Rostedt
If one wants to trace the name of the task that wakes up a process and pass that to the synthetic events, there's nothing currently that lets the synthetic events do that. Add a "common_comm" to the histogram logic that allows histograms save the current->comm as a variable that can be passed through and added to a synthetic event: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 's:wake_lat char[] waker; char[] wakee; u64 delta;' >> dynamic_events # echo 'hist:keys=pid:comm=common_comm:ts=common_timestamp.usecs if !(common_flags & 0x18)' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wake_comm=$comm:delta=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(wake_lat,$wake_comm,next_comm,$delta)' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger The above will create a synthetic trace event that will save both the name of the waker and the wakee but only if the wakeup did not happen in a hard or soft interrupt context. The "common_comm" is used to save the task->comm at the time of the initial event and is passed via the "comm" variable to the second event, and that is saved as the "waker" field in the "wake_lat" synthetic event.

2025-05-06tracing: Move histogram trigger variables from stack to per CPU structureSteven Rostedt
The histogram trigger has three somewhat large arrays on the kernel stack: unsigned long entries[HIST_STACKTRACE_DEPTH]; u64 var_ref_vals[TRACING_MAP_VARS_MAX]; char compound_key[HIST_KEY_SIZE_MAX]; Checking the function event_hist_trigger() stack frame size, it currently uses 816 bytes for its stack frame due to these variables! Instead, allocate a per CPU structure that holds these arrays for each context level (normal, softirq, irq and NMI). That is, each CPU will have 4 of these structures. This will be allocated when the first histogram trigger is enabled and freed when the last is disabled. When the histogram callback triggers, it will request this structure. The request will disable preemption, get the per CPU structure at the index of the per CPU variable, and increment that variable. The callback will use the arrays in this structure to perform its work and then release the structure. That in turn will simply decrement the per CPU index and enable preemption. Moving the variables from the kernel stack to the per CPU structure brings the stack frame of event_hist_trigger() down to just 112 bytes.

2025-05-06tracing: Always use memcpy() in histogram add_to_key()Steven Rostedt
The add_to_key() function tests if the key is a string or some data. If it's a string it does some further calculations of the string size (still truncating it to the max size it can be), and calls strncpy(). If the key isn't as string it calls memcpy(). The interesting point is that both use the exact same parameters: strncpy(compound_key + key_field->offset, (char *)key, size); } else memcpy(compound_key + key_field->offset, key, size); As strncpy() is being used simply as a memcpy() for a string, and since strncpy() is deprecated, just call memcpy() for both memory and string keys.

2025-03-14tracing: Correct the refcount if the hist/hist_debug file fails to openTengda Wu
The function event_{hist,hist_debug}_open() maintains the refcount of 'file->tr' and 'file' through tracing_open_file_tr(). However, it does not roll back these counts on subsequent failure paths, resulting in a refcount leak. A very obvious case is that if the hist/hist_debug file belongs to a specific instance, the refcount leak will prevent the deletion of that instance, as it relies on the condition 'tr->ref == 1' within __remove_instance(). Fix this by calling tracing_release_file_tr() on all failure paths in event_{hist,hist_debug}_open() to correct the refcount.

2025-01-07tracing/hist: Add poll(POLLIN) support on hist fileMasami Hiramatsu (Google)
Add poll syscall support on the `hist` file. The Waiter will be waken up when the histogram is updated with POLLIN. Currently, there is no way to wait for a specific event in userspace. So user needs to peek the `trace` periodicaly, or wait on `trace_pipe`. But it is not a good idea to peek at the `trace` for an event that randomly happens. And `trace_pipe` is not coming back until a page is filled with events. This allows a user to wait for a specific event on the `hist` file. User can set a histogram trigger on the event which they want to monitor and poll() on its `hist` file. Since this poll() returns POLLIN, the next poll() will return soon unless a read() happens on that hist file. NOTE: To read the hist file again, you must set the file offset to 0, but just for monitoring the event, you may not need to read the histogram.

2024-08-07tracing: Have format file honor EVENT_FILE_FL_FREEDSteven Rostedt
When eventfs was introduced, special care had to be done to coordinate the freeing of the file meta data with the files that are exposed to user space. The file meta data would have a ref count that is set when the file is created and would be decremented and freed after the last user that opened the file closed it. When the file meta data was to be freed, it would set a flag (EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED) to denote that the file is freed, and any new references made (like new opens or reads) would fail as it is marked freed. This allowed other meta data to be freed after this flag was set (under the event_mutex). All the files that were dynamically created in the events directory had a pointer to the file meta data and would call event_release() when the last reference to the user space file was closed. This would be the time that it is safe to free the file meta data. A shortcut was made for the "format" file. It's i_private would point to the "call" entry directly and not point to the file's meta data. This is because all format files are the same for the same "call", so it was thought there was no reason to differentiate them. The other files maintain state (like the "enable", "trigger", etc). But this meant if the file were to disappear, the "format" file would be unaware of it. This caused a race that could be trigger via the user_events test (that would create dynamic events and free them), and running a loop that would read the user_events format files: In one console run: # cd tools/testing/selftests/user_events # while true; do ./ftrace_test; done And in another console run: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ # while true; do cat events/user_events/__test_event/format; done 2>/dev/null With KASAN memory checking, it would trigger a use-after-free bug report (which was a real bug). This was because the format file was not checking the file's meta data flag "EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED", so it would access the event that the file meta data pointed to after the event was freed. After inspection, there are other locations that were found to not check the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag when accessing the trace_event_file. Add a new helper function: event_file_file() that will make sure that the event_mutex is held, and will return NULL if the trace_event_file has the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag set. Have the first reference of the struct file pointer use event_file_file() and check for NULL. Later uses can still use the event_file_data() helper function if the event_mutex is still held and was not released since the event_file_file() call.

2024-01-08tracing histograms: Simplify parse_actions() functionSteven Rostedt (Google)
The parse_actions() function uses 'len = str_has_prefix()' to test which action is in the string being parsed. But then it goes and repeats the logic for each different action. This logic can be simplified and duplicate code can be removed as 'len' contains the length of the found prefix which should be used for all actions.

2023-12-13tracing: Fix uaf issue when open the hist or hist_debug fileZheng Yejian
KASAN report following issue. The root cause is when opening 'hist' file of an instance and accessing 'trace_event_file' in hist_show(), but 'trace_event_file' has been freed due to the instance being removed. 'hist_debug' file has the same problem. To fix it, call tracing_{open,release}_file_tr() in file_operations callback to have the ref count and avoid 'trace_event_file' being freed.

2023-07-12tracing/histograms: Add histograms to hist_vars if they have referenced ↵Mohamed Khalfella
variables Hist triggers can have referenced variables without having direct variables fields. This can be the case if referenced variables are added for trigger actions. In this case the newly added references will not have field variables. Not taking such referenced variables into consideration can result in a bug where it would be possible to remove hist trigger with variables being refenced. This will result in a bug that is easily reproducable like so $ cd /sys/kernel/tracing $ echo 'synthetic_sys_enter char[] comm; long id' >> synthetic_events $ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger $ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:onmatch(raw_syscalls.sys_enter).synthetic_sys_enter($comm, id)' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger $ echo '!hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger [ 100.263533] ================================================================== [ 100.264634] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.265520] Read of size 8 at addr ffff88810375d0f0 by task bash/439 [ 100.266320] [ 100.266533] CPU: 2 PID: 439 Comm: bash Not tainted 6.5.0-rc1 #4 [ 100.267277] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.0-20220807_005459-localhost 04/01/2014 [ 100.268561] Call Trace: [ 100.268902] <TASK> [ 100.269189] dump_stack_lvl+0x4c/0x70 [ 100.269680] print_report+0xc5/0x600 [ 100.270165] ? resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.270697] ? kasan_complete_mode_report_info+0x80/0x1f0 [ 100.271389] ? resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.271913] kasan_report+0xbd/0x100 [ 100.272380] ? resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.272920] __asan_load8+0x71/0xa0 [ 100.273377] resolve_var_refs+0xc7/0x180 [ 100.273888] event_hist_trigger+0x749/0x860 [ 100.274505] ? kasan_save_stack+0x2a/0x50 [ 100.275024] ? kasan_set_track+0x29/0x40 [ 100.275536] ? __pfx_event_hist_trigger+0x10/0x10 [ 100.276138] ? ksys_write+0xd1/0x170 [ 100.276607] ? do_syscall_64+0x3c/0x90 [ 100.277099] ? entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0xd8 [ 100.277771] ? destroy_hist_data+0x446/0x470 [ 100.278324] ? event_hist_trigger_parse+0xa6c/0x3860 [ 100.278962] ? __pfx_event_hist_trigger_parse+0x10/0x10 [ 100.279627] ? __kasan_check_write+0x18/0x20 [ 100.280177] ? mutex_unlock+0x85/0xd0 [ 100.280660] ? __pfx_mutex_unlock+0x10/0x10 [ 100.281200] ? kfree+0x7b/0x120 [ 100.281619] ? ____kasan_slab_free+0x15d/0x1d0 [ 100.282197] ? event_trigger_write+0xac/0x100 [ 100.282764] ? __kasan_slab_free+0x16/0x20 [ 100.283293] ? __kmem_cache_free+0x153/0x2f0 [ 100.283844] ? sched_mm_cid_remote_clear+0xb1/0x250 [ 100.284550] ? __pfx_sched_mm_cid_remote_clear+0x10/0x10 [ 100.285221] ? event_trigger_write+0xbc/0x100 [ 100.285781] ? __kasan_check_read+0x15/0x20 [ 100.286321] ? __bitmap_weight+0x66/0xa0 [ 100.286833] ? _find_next_bit+0x46/0xe0 [ 100.287334] ? task_mm_cid_work+0x37f/0x450 [ 100.287872] event_triggers_call+0x84/0x150 [ 100.288408] trace_event_buffer_commit+0x339/0x430 [ 100.289073] ? ring_buffer_event_data+0x3f/0x60 [ 100.292189] trace_event_raw_event_sys_enter+0x8b/0xe0 [ 100.295434] syscall_trace_enter.constprop.0+0x18f/0x1b0 [ 100.298653] syscall_enter_from_user_mode+0x32/0x40 [ 100.301808] do_syscall_64+0x1a/0x90 [ 100.304748] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0xd8 [ 100.307775] RIP: 0033:0x7f686c75c1cb [ 100.310617] Code: 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d 65 3c 10 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 83 c8 ff c3 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 90 f3 0f 1e fa b8 21 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d 35 3c 10 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 [ 100.317847] RSP: 002b:00007ffc60137a38 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000021 [ 100.321200] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 000055f566469ea0 RCX: 00007f686c75c1cb [ 100.324631] RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: 000000000000000a [ 100.328104] RBP: 00007ffc60137ac0 R08: 00007f686c818460 R09: 000000000000000a [ 100.331509] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000009 [ 100.334992] R13: 0000000000000007 R14: 000000000000000a R15: 0000000000000007 [ 100.338381] </TASK> We hit the bug because when second hist trigger has was created has_hist_vars() returned false because hist trigger did not have variables.

2023-05-23tracing: Rename stacktrace field to common_stacktraceSteven Rostedt (Google)
The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called "stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that, convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like "common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as "common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace". Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

2023-05-23tracing/histograms: Allow variables to have some modifiersSteven Rostedt (Google)
Modifiers are used to change the behavior of keys. For instance, they can grouped into buckets, converted to syscall names (from the syscall identifier), show task->comm of the current pid, be an array of longs that represent a stacktrace, and more. It was found that nothing stopped a value from taking a modifier. As values are simple counters. If this happened, it would call code that was not expecting a modifier and crash the kernel. This was fixed by having the ___create_val_field() function test if a modifier was present and fail if one was. This fixed the crash. Now there's a problem with variables. Variables are used to pass fields from one event to another. Variables are allowed to have some modifiers, as the processing may need to happen at the time of the event (like stacktraces and comm names of the current pid). The issue is that it too uses __create_val_field(). Now that fails on modifiers, variables can no longer use them (this is a regression). As not all modifiers are for variables, have them use a separate check.

Histogram values can not be strings, stacktraces, graphs, symbols, syscalls, or grouped in buckets or log. Give an error if a value is set to do so. Note, the histogram code was not prepared to handle these modifiers for histograms and caused a bug.

2023-02-16tracing/histogram: Fix stacktrace keyTom Zanussi
The current code will always use the current stacktrace as a key even if a stacktrace contained in a specific event field was specified. For example, we expect to use the 'unsigned long[] stack' field in the below event in the histogram: # echo 's:block_lat pid_t pid; u64 delta; unsigned long[] stack;' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/dynamic_events # echo 'hist:keys=delta.buckets=100,stack.stacktrace:sort=delta' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/block_lat/trigger But in fact, when we type out the trigger, we see that it's using the plain old global 'stacktrace' as the key, which is just the stacktrace when the event was hit and not the stacktrace contained in the event, which is what we want: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/block_lat/trigger hist:keys=delta.buckets=100,stacktrace:vals=hitcount:sort=delta.buckets=100:size=2048 [active] And in fact, there's no code to actually retrieve it from the event, so we need to add HIST_FIELD_FN_STACK and hist_field_stack() to get it and hook it into the trigger code. For now, since the stack is just using dynamic strings, this could just use the dynamic string function, but it seems cleaner to have a dedicated function an be able to tweak independently as necessary.

2023-02-15tracing: Add BUILD_BUG() to make sure stacktrace fits in stringsSteven Rostedt (Google)
The max string length for a histogram variable is 256 bytes. The max depth of a stacktrace is 16. With 8byte words, that's 16 * 8 = 128. Which can easily fit in the string variable. The histogram stacktrace is being stored in the string value (with the given max length), with the assumption it will fit. To make sure that this is always the case (in the case that the stack trace depth increases), add a BUILD_BUG_ON() to test this.

2023-02-15tracing/histogram: Don't use strlen to find length of stacktrace variablesTom Zanussi
Because stacktraces are saved in dynamic strings, trace_event_raw_event_synth() uses strlen to determine the length of the stack. Stacktraces may contain 0-bytes, though, in the saved addresses, so the length found and passed to reserve() will be too small. Fix this by using the first unsigned long in the stack variables to store the actual number of elements in the stack and have trace_event_raw_event_synth() use that to determine the length of the stack.

2022-12-10tracing/hist: Fix issue of losting command info in error_logZheng Yejian
When input some constructed invalid 'trigger' command, command info in 'error_log' are lost [1]. The root cause is that there is a path that event_hist_trigger_parse() is recursely called once and 'last_cmd' which save origin command is cleared, then later calling of hist_err() will no longer record origin command info: event_hist_trigger_parse() { last_cmd_set() // <1> 'last_cmd' save origin command here at first create_actions() { onmatch_create() { action_create() { trace_action_create() { trace_action_create_field_var() { create_field_var_hist() { event_hist_trigger_parse() { // <2> recursely called once hist_err_clear() // <3> 'last_cmd' is cleared here } hist_err() // <4> No longer find origin command!!! Since 'glob' is empty string while running into the recurse call, we can trickly check it and bypass the call of hist_err_clear() to solve it.

2022-12-10tracing/hist: Fix out-of-bound write on 'action_data.var_ref_idx'Zheng Yejian
When generate a synthetic event with many params and then create a trace action for it [1], kernel panic happened [2]. It is because that in trace_action_create() 'data->n_params' is up to SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX (current value is 64), and array 'data->var_ref_idx' keeps indices into array 'hist_data->var_refs' for each synthetic event param, but the length of 'data->var_ref_idx' is TRACING_MAP_VARS_MAX (current value is 16), so out-of-bound write happened when 'data->n_params' more than 16. In this case, 'data->match_data.event' is overwritten and eventually cause the panic. To solve the issue, adjust the length of 'data->var_ref_idx' to be SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX and add sanity checks to avoid out-of-bound write.

2022-12-09tracing: Allow multiple hitcount values in histogramsTom Zanussi
The hitcount is treated specially in the histograms - since it's always expected to be there regardless of whether the user specified anything or not, it's always added as the first histogram value. Currently the code doesn't allow it to be added more than once as a value, which is inconsistent with all the other possible values. It would seem to be a pointless thing to want to do, but other features being added such as percent and graph modifiers don't work properly with the current hitcount restrictions. Fix this by allowing multiple hitcounts to be added.

2022-11-23tracing: Fix race where histograms can be called before the eventSteven Rostedt (Google)
commit 94eedf3dded5 ("tracing: Fix race where eprobes can be called before the event") fixed an issue where if an event is soft disabled, and the trigger is being added, there's a small window where the event sees that there's a trigger but does not see that it requires reading the event yet, and then calls the trigger with the record == NULL. This could be solved with adding memory barriers in the hot path, or to make sure that all the triggers requiring a record check for NULL. The latter was chosen. Commit 94eedf3dded5 set the eprobe trigger handle to check for NULL, but the same needs to be done with histograms.

2022-09-26tracing/hist: Call hist functions directly via a switch statementSteven Rostedt (Google)
Due to retpolines, indirect calls are much more expensive than direct calls. The histograms have a select set of functions it uses for the histograms, instead of using function pointers to call them, create a hist_fn_call() function that uses a switch statement to call the histogram functions directly. This gives a 13% speedup to the histogram logic. Using the histogram benchmark: Before: # event histogram # # trigger info: hist:keys=delta:vals=hitcount:sort=delta:size=2048 if delta > 0 [active] # { delta: 129 } hitcount: 2213 { delta: 130 } hitcount: 285965 { delta: 131 } hitcount: 1146545 { delta: 132 } hitcount: 5185432 { delta: 133 } hitcount: 19896215 { delta: 134 } hitcount: 53118616 { delta: 135 } hitcount: 83816709 { delta: 136 } hitcount: 68329562 { delta: 137 } hitcount: 41859349 { delta: 138 } hitcount: 46257797 { delta: 139 } hitcount: 54400831 { delta: 140 } hitcount: 72875007 { delta: 141 } hitcount: 76193272 { delta: 142 } hitcount: 49504263 { delta: 143 } hitcount: 38821072 { delta: 144 } hitcount: 47702679 { delta: 145 } hitcount: 41357297 { delta: 146 } hitcount: 22058238 { delta: 147 } hitcount: 9720002 { delta: 148 } hitcount: 3193542 { delta: 149 } hitcount: 927030 { delta: 150 } hitcount: 850772 { delta: 151 } hitcount: 1477380 { delta: 152 } hitcount: 2687977 { delta: 153 } hitcount: 2865985 { delta: 154 } hitcount: 1977492 { delta: 155 } hitcount: 2475607 { delta: 156 } hitcount: 3403612 After: # event histogram # # trigger info: hist:keys=delta:vals=hitcount:sort=delta:size=2048 if delta > 0 [active] # { delta: 113 } hitcount: 272 { delta: 114 } hitcount: 840 { delta: 118 } hitcount: 344 { delta: 119 } hitcount: 25428 { delta: 120 } hitcount: 350590 { delta: 121 } hitcount: 1892484 { delta: 122 } hitcount: 6205004 { delta: 123 } hitcount: 11583521 { delta: 124 } hitcount: 37590979 { delta: 125 } hitcount: 108308504 { delta: 126 } hitcount: 131672461 { delta: 127 } hitcount: 88700598 { delta: 128 } hitcount: 65939870 { delta: 129 } hitcount: 45055004 { delta: 130 } hitcount: 33174464 { delta: 131 } hitcount: 31813493 { delta: 132 } hitcount: 29011676 { delta: 133 } hitcount: 22798782 { delta: 134 } hitcount: 22072486 { delta: 135 } hitcount: 17034113 { delta: 136 } hitcount: 8982490 { delta: 137 } hitcount: 2865908 { delta: 138 } hitcount: 980382 { delta: 139 } hitcount: 1651944 { delta: 140 } hitcount: 4112073 { delta: 141 } hitcount: 3963269 { delta: 142 } hitcount: 1712508 { delta: 143 } hitcount: 575941 { delta: 144 } hitcount: 351427 { delta: 145 } hitcount: 218077 { delta: 146 } hitcount: 167297 { delta: 147 } hitcount: 146198 { delta: 148 } hitcount: 116122 { delta: 149 } hitcount: 58993 { delta: 150 } hitcount: 40228 The delta above is in nanoseconds.

2022-07-12tracing/histograms: Simplify create_hist_fields()Zheng Yejian
When I look into implements of create_hist_fields(), I think there can be following two simplifications: 1. If something wrong happened in parse_var_defs(), free_var_defs() would have been called in it, so no need goto free again after calling it; 2. After calling create_key_fields(), regardless of the value of 'ret', it then always runs into 'out: ', so the judge of 'ret' is redundant.

As commit 46bbe5c671e0 ("tracing: fix double free") said, the "double free" problem reported by clang static analyzer is: > In parse_var_defs() if there is a problem allocating > var_defs.expr, the earlier var_defs.name is freed. > This free is duplicated by free_var_defs() which frees > the rest of the list. However, if there is a problem allocating N-th var_defs.expr: + in parse_var_defs(), the freed 'earlier var_defs.name' is actually the N-th var_defs.name; + then in free_var_defs(), the names from 0th to (N-1)-th are freed; IF ALLOCATING PROBLEM HAPPENED HERE!!! -+ \ | 0th 1th (N-1)-th N-th V +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+----------- var_defs: | name | expr | name | expr | ... | name | expr | name | /// +-------------+-------------+-----+-------------+----------- These two frees don't act on same name, so there was no "double free" problem before. Conversely, after that commit, we get a "memory leak" problem because the above "N-th var_defs.name" is not freed. If enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK and inject a fault at where the N-th var_defs.expr allocated, then execute on shell like: $ echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=$v1,$v2:v1=bytes_req,v2=bytes_alloc' > \ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger Then kmemleak reports: unreferenced object 0xffff8fb100ef3518 (size 8): comm "bash", pid 196, jiffies 4295681690 (age 28.538s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 76 31 00 00 b1 8f ff ff v1...... backtrace: [<0000000038fe4895>] kstrdup+0x2d/0x60 [<00000000c99c049a>] event_hist_trigger_parse+0x206f/0x20e0 [<00000000ae70d2cc>] trigger_process_regex+0xc0/0x110 [<0000000066737a4c>] event_trigger_write+0x75/0xd0 [<000000007341e40c>] vfs_write+0xbb/0x2a0 [<0000000087fde4c2>] ksys_write+0x59/0xd0 [<00000000581e9cdf>] do_syscall_64+0x3a/0x80 [<00000000cf3b065c>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x46/0xb0 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220711014731.69520-1-zhengyejian1@huawei.com Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 46bbe5c671e0 ("tracing: fix double free") Reported-by: Hulk Robot <hulkci@huawei.com> Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reviewed-by: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zheng Yejian <zhengyejian1@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2022-05-26tracing: Change "char *" string form to "char []"liqiong
The "char []" string form declares a single variable. It is better than "char *" which creates two variables in the final assembly.
