tracing: add protection around module events unload

When reading the trace buffer, there is a race that when a module
is unloaded it removes events that is stilled referenced in the buffers.
This patch adds the protection around the unloading of the events

15 years agotracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()

tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
  ...

Cons:

  - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
    no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
    no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.

    This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
    But this may change in the future.

  - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
    While blktrace do the convertion just before output.

    Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.

  - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
    has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.

    The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().

I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:

      dd                   dd + ioctl blktrace       dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1     7.36s, 42.7 MB/s     7.50s, 42.0 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2     7.43s, 42.3 MB/s     7.48s, 42.1 MB/s          7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3     7.38s, 42.6 MB/s     7.45s, 42.2 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s

So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.

And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:

 # ls -l -h
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1

The ring buffer is a generic structure, and can be used outside of
ftrace. If ftrace traces within the use of the ring buffer, it can produce
false positives with lockdep.

This patch passes in a static lock key into the allocation of the ring
buffer, so that different ring buffers will have their own lock class.

ring-buffer: discard timestamps that are at the start of the buffer

Every buffer page in the ring buffer includes its own time stamp.
When an event is recorded to the ring buffer with a delta time greater
than what can be held in the event header, a time stamp event is created.

If the the create timestamp falls over to the next buffer page, it is
redundant because the buffer page holds a full time stamp. This patch
will try to discard the time stamp when it falls to the start of the
next page.

This change also fixes a issues with disarding events. If most events are
discarded, timestamps will start to creep into the ring buffer. If we
do not discard the timestamps then they can fill up the ring buffer over
time and waste space.

This change will keep time stamps from filling up over another page. If
something is recorded in the buffer page, and the rest is filtered, then
the time stamps can only fill up to the end of the page.

ring-buffer: fix bug in ring_buffer_discard_commit

There's a bug in ring_buffer_discard_commit.  The wrong
pointer is being compared in order to check if the event
can be freed from the buffer rather than discarded
(i.e. marked as PAD).

I noticed this when I was working on duration filtering.
The bug is not deadly - it just results in lots of wasted
space in the buffer.  All filtered events are left in
the buffer and marked as discarded, rather than being
removed from the buffer to make space for other events.

Unfortunately, when I fixed this bug, I got errors doing a
filtered function trace.  Multiple TIME_EXTEND
events pile up in the buffer, and trigger the
following loop overage warning in rb_iter_peek():

again:
...
if (RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, ++nr_loops > 10))
return NULL;

I'm not sure what the best way is to fix this. I don't
know if I should extend the loop threshhold, or if I should
make the test more complex (ignore TIME_EXTEND
events), or just get rid of this loop check completely.

Note that if I implement a workaround for this, then I
see another problem from rb_advance_iter().  I haven't
tracked that one down yet.

In general, it seems like the case of removing filtered
events has not been working properly, and so some assumptions

15 years agoftrace: do not profile functions when disabled

ftrace: do not profile functions when disabled

A race was found that if one were to enable and disable the function
profiler repeatedly, then the system can panic. This was because a profiled
function may be preempted just before disabling interrupts. While
the profiler is disabled and then reenabled, the preempted function
could start again, and access the hash as it is being initialized.

This just adds a check in the irq disabled part to check if the profiler
is enabled, and if it is not then it will just exit.

When the system is disabled, the profile_enabled variable is cleared
before calling the unregistering of the function profiler. This
unregistering calls stop machine which also acts as a synchronize schedule.

tracing: add trace_event_read_lock()

I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
through ftrace_find_event().

This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
window between any event dereferencing and module removal.

Eg:

--Task A--

print_trace_line(trace) {
  event = find_ftrace_event(trace)

--Task B--

trace_module_remove_events(mod) {
  list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) {
    unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) {
      hlist_del(ev->event->node)
        list_del(....)
    }
  }
}
|--> module removed, the event has been dropped

--Task A--

  event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory

If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
from a freed module.

RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,
and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().

Benjamin Herrenschmidt [Thu, 14 May 2009 20:16:47 +0000 (20:16 +0000)]
powerpc: Fix PCI ROM access

A couple of issues crept in since about 2.6.27 related to accessing PCI
device ROMs on various powerpc machines.

First, historically, we don't allocate the ROM resource in the resource
tree. I'm not entirely certain of why, I susepct they often contained
garbage on x86 but it's hard to tell. This causes the current generic
code to always call pci_assign_resource() when trying to access the said
ROM from sysfs, which will try to re-assign some new address regardless
of what the ROM BAR was already set to at boot time. This can be a
problem on hypervisor platforms like pSeries where we aren't supposed
to move PCI devices around (and in fact probably can't).

Second, our code that generates the PCI tree from the OF device-tree
(instead of doing config space probing) which we mostly use on pseries
at the moment, didn't set the (new) flag IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any
resource. That means that any attempt at re-assigning such a resource
with pci_assign_resource() would fail due to resource_alignment()
returning 0.

This fixes this by doing these two things:

 - The code that calculates resource flags based on the OF device-node
is improved to set IORESOURCE_SIZEALIGN on any valid BAR, and while at
it also set IORESOURCE_READONLY for ROMs since we were lacking that too

 - We now allocate ROM resources as part of the resource tree. However
to limit the chances of nasty conflicts due to busted firmwares, we
only do it on the second pass of our two-passes allocation scheme,
so that all valid and enabled BARs get precedence.

This brings pSeries back the ability to access PCI ROMs via sysfs (and
thus initialize various video cards from X etc...).

powerpc/mpic: Fix incorrect allocation of interrupt rev-map

Before when we were setting up the irq host map for mpic we passed in
just isu_size for the size of the linear map.  However, for a number of
mpic implementations we have no isu (thus pass in 0) and will end up
with a no linear map (size = 0).  This causes us to always call
irq_find_mapping() from mpic_get_irq().

By moving the allocation of the host map to after we've determined the
number of sources we can actually benefit from having a linear map for
the non-isu users that covers all the interrupt sources.

powerpc: Fix oprofile sampling of marked events on POWER7

Description
-----------
Change ppc64 oprofile kernel driver to use the SLOT bits (MMCRA[37:39]only on
older processors where those bits are defined.

Background
----------
The performance monitor unit of the 64-bit POWER processor family has the
ability to collect accurate instruction-level samples when profiling on marked
events (i.e., "PM_MRK_<event-name>").  In processors prior to POWER6, the MMCRA
register contained "slot information" that the oprofile kernel driver used to
adjust the value latched in the SIAR at the time of a PMU interrupt.  But as of
POWER6, these slot bits in MMCRA are no longer necessary for oprofile to use,
since the SIAR itself holds the accurate sampled instruction address.  With
POWER6, these MMCRA slot bits were zero'ed out by hardware so oprofile's use of
these slot bits was, in effect, a NOP.  But with POWER7, these bits are no
longer zero'ed out; however, they serve some other purpose rather than slot
information.  Thus, using these bits on POWER7 to adjust the SIAR value results
in samples being attributed to the wrong instructions.  The attached patch
changes the oprofile kernel driver to ignore these slot bits on all newer
processors starting with POWER6.
