In the case of keeping the system running, the preferred method for
tracing the kernel is dynamic tracing (kprobe), but the drawback of
this method is that events are lost, especially when tracing packages
in the network stack.
Livepatching provides a potential solution, which is to reimplement the
function you want to replace and insert a static tracepoint.
In such a way, custom stable static tracepoints can be expanded without
rebooting the system.

Commit 2852ca7fba ("panic: Taint kernel if tests are run")
introduced a new taint type, TAINT_TEST, to signal that an
in-kernel test module has been loaded.
TAINT_TEST taint type defaults into a 'bad_taint' list for
kernel tracing and blocks the creation of trace events. This
causes a problem for CXL testing where loading the cxl_test
module makes all CXL modules out-of-tree, blocking any trace
events.
Trace events are in development for CXL at the moment and this
issue was found in test with v6.0-rc1.

State transitions from 1->0->1 and N->2->1 callbacks require RCU
synchronization. Rather than performing the RCU synchronization every
time the state change occurs, which is quite slow when many tracepoints
are registered in batch, instead keep a snapshot of the RCU state on the
most recent transitions which belong to a chain, and conditionally wait
for a grace period on the last transition of the chain if one g.p. has
not elapsed since the last snapshot.
This applies to both RCU and SRCU.
This brings the performance regression caused by commit 231264d692
("Fix: tracepoint: static call function vs data state mismatch") back to
what it was originally.

On a 1->0->1 callbacks transition, there is an issue with the new
callback using the old callback's data.
Considering __DO_TRACE_CALL:
do { \
struct tracepoint_func *it_func_ptr; \
void *__data; \
it_func_ptr = \
rcu_dereference_raw((&__tracepoint_##name)->funcs); \
if (it_func_ptr) { \
__data = (it_func_ptr)->data; \
----> [ delayed here on one CPU (e.g. vcpu preempted by the host) ]
static_call(tp_func_##name)(__data, args); \
} \
} while (0)
It has loaded the tp->funcs of the old callback, so it will try to use the old
data. This can be fixed by adding a RCU sync anywhere in the 1->0->1
transition chain.
On a N->2->1 transition, we need an rcu-sync because you may have a
sequence of 3->2->1 (or 1->2->1) where the element 0 data is unchanged
between 2->1, but was changed from 3->2 (or from 1->2), which may be
observed by the static call. This can be fixed by adding an
unconditional RCU sync in transition 2->1.
Note, this fixes a correctness issue at the cost of adding a tremendous
performance regression to the disabling of tracepoints.
Before this commit:
# trace-cmd start -e all
# time trace-cmd start -p nop
real 0m0.778s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.061s
After this commit:
# trace-cmd start -e all
# time trace-cmd start -p nop
real 0m10.593s
user 0m0.017s
sys 0m0.259s
A follow up fix will introduce a more lightweight scheme based on RCU
get_state and cond_sync, that will return the performance back to what it
was. As both this change and the lightweight versions are complex on their
own, for bisecting any issues that this may cause, they are kept as two
separate changes.

On transition from 2->1 callees, we should be comparing .data rather
than .func, because the same callback can be registered twice with
different data, and what we care about here is that the data of array
element 0 is unchanged to skip rcu sync.

Because of the significant overhead that retpolines pose on indirect
calls, the tracepoint code was updated to use the new "static_calls" that
can modify the running code to directly call a function instead of using
an indirect caller, and this function can be changed at runtime.
In the tracepoint code that calls all the registered callbacks that are
attached to a tracepoint, the following is done:
it_func_ptr = rcu_dereference_raw((&__tracepoint_##name)->funcs);
if (it_func_ptr) {
__data = (it_func_ptr)->data;
static_call(tp_func_##name)(__data, args);
}
If there's just a single callback, the static_call is updated to just call
that callback directly. Once another handler is added, then the static
caller is updated to call the iterator, that simply loops over all the
funcs in the array and calls each of the callbacks like the old method
using indirect calling.
The issue was discovered with a race between updating the funcs array and
updating the static_call. The funcs array was updated first and then the
static_call was updated. This is not an issue as long as the first element
in the old array is the same as the first element in the new array. But
that assumption is incorrect, because callbacks also have a priority
field, and if there's a callback added that has a higher priority than the
callback on the old array, then it will become the first callback in the
new array. This means that it is possible to call the old callback with
the new callback data element, which can cause a kernel panic.
static_call = callback1()
funcs[] = {callback1,data1};
callback2 has higher priority than callback1
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
new_funcs = {callback2,data2},
{callback1,data1}
rcu_assign_pointer(tp->funcs, new_funcs);
/*
* Now tp->funcs has the new array
* but the static_call still calls callback1
*/
it_func_ptr = tp->funcs [ new_funcs ]
data = it_func_ptr->data [ data2 ]
static_call(callback1, data);
/* Now callback1 is called with
* callback2's data */
[ KERNEL PANIC ]
update_static_call(iterator);
To prevent this from happening, always switch the static_call to the
iterator before assigning the tp->funcs to the new array. The iterator will
always properly match the callback with its data.
To trigger this bug:
In one terminal:
while :; do hackbench 50; done
In another terminal
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_waking/enable
while :; do
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event_pid;
sleep 0.5
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event_pid;
sleep 0.5
done
And it doesn't take long to crash. This is because the set_event_pid adds
a callback to the sched_waking tracepoint with a high priority, which will
be called before the sched_waking trace event callback is called.
Note, the removal to a single callback updates the array first, before
changing the static_call to single callback, which is the proper order as
the first element in the array is the same as what the static_call is
being changed to.

All internal use cases for tracepoint_probe_register() is set to not ever
be called with the same function and data. If it is, it is considered a
bug, as that means the accounting of handling tracepoints is corrupted.
If the function and data for a tracepoint is already registered when
tracepoint_probe_register() is called, it will call WARN_ON_ONCE() and
return with EEXISTS.
The BPF system call can end up calling tracepoint_probe_register() with
the same data, which now means that this can trigger the warning because
of a user space process. As WARN_ON_ONCE() should not be called because
user space called a system call with bad data, there needs to be a way to
register a tracepoint without triggering a warning.
Enter tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist(), which can be called, but will
not cause a WARN_ON() if the probe already exists. It will still error out
with EEXIST, which will then be sent to the user space that performed the
BPF system call.
This keeps the previous testing for issues with other users of the
tracepoint code, while letting BPF call it with duplicated data and not
warn about it.

The list of tracepoint callbacks is managed by an array that is protected
by RCU. To update this array, a new array is allocated, the updates are
copied over to the new array, and then the list of functions for the
tracepoint is switched over to the new array. After a completion of an RCU
grace period, the old array is freed.
This process happens for both adding a callback as well as removing one.
But on removing a callback, if the new array fails to be allocated, the
callback is not removed, and may be used after it is freed by the clients
of the tracepoint.
There's really no reason to fail if the allocation for a new array fails
when removing a function. Instead, the function can simply be replaced by a
stub function that could be cleaned up on the next modification of the
array. That is, instead of calling the function registered to the
tracepoint, it would call a stub function in its place.

[ Note, this version does use undefined compiler behavior (assuming that
a stub function with no parameters or return, can be called by a location
that thinks it has parameters but still no return value. Static calls
do the same thing, so this trick is not without precedent.
There's another solution that uses RCU tricks and is more complex, but
can be an alternative if this solution becomes an issue.

This removes architecture dependencies and frees up TIF bits.
Define SYSCALL_WORK_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT, use it in the generic entry code
and convert the code which uses the TIF specific helper functions to use
the new *_syscall_work() helpers which either resolve to the new mode for

Naresh reported a bug that appears to be a side effect of the static
calls. It happens when going from more than one tracepoint callback to
a single one, and removing the first callback on the list. The list of
tracepoint callbacks holds data and a function to call with the
parameters of that tracepoint and a handler to the associated data.
old_list:
0: func = foo; data = NULL;
1: func = bar; data = &bar_struct;
new_list:
0: func = bar; data = &bar_struct;
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
tp_funcs = old_list;
tp_static_caller = tp_interator
__DO_TRACE()
data = tp_funcs[0].data = NULL;
tp_funcs = new_list;
tracepoint_update_call()
tp_static_caller = tp_funcs[0] = bar;
tp_static_caller(data)
bar(data)
x = data->item = NULL->item
BOOM!
To solve this, add a tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() between
changing tp_funcs and updating the static tracepoint, that does both a
synchronize_rcu() and synchronize_srcu(). This will ensure that when
the static call is updated to the single callback that it will be
receiving the data that it registered with.

Currently the tracepoint site will iterate a vector and issue indirect
calls to however many handlers are registered (ie. the vector is
long).
Using static_call() it is possible to optimize this for the common
case of only having a single handler registered. In this case the
static_call() can directly call this handler. Otherwise, if the vector
is longer than 1, call a function that iterates the whole vector like
the current code.

While auditing all module notifiers I noticed a whole bunch of fail
wrt the return value. Notifiers have a 'special' return semantics.
As is; NOTIFY_DONE vs NOTIFY_OK is a bit vague; but
notifier_from_errno(0) results in NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_DONE has a
comment that says "Don't care".
From this I've used NOTIFY_DONE when the function completely ignores
the callback and notifier_to_error() isn't used.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct tp_probes {
...
struct tracepoint_func probes[0];
};
instance = kmalloc(sizeof(sizeof(struct tp_probes) +
sizeof(struct tracepoint_func) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, probes, count) GFP_KERNEL);

commit 46e0c9be20 ("kernel: tracepoints: add support for relative

architectures supporting relative references. However, it does so
without turning struct tracepoint * const into const int elsewhere in
the tracepoint code, which has the following side-effect:
Setting mod->num_tracepoints is done in by module.c:
mod->tracepoints_ptrs = section_objs(info, "__tracepoints_ptrs",
sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs),
&mod->num_tracepoints);
Basically, since sizeof(*mod->tracepoints_ptrs) is a pointer size
(rather than sizeof(int)), num_tracepoints is erroneously set to half the
size it should be on 64-bit arch. So a module with an odd number of
tracepoints misses the last tracepoint due to effect of integer
division.
So in the module going notifier:
for_each_tracepoint_range(mod->tracepoints_ptrs,
mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints,
tp_module_going_check_quiescent, NULL);
the expression (mod->tracepoints_ptrs + mod->num_tracepoints) actually
evaluates to something within the bounds of the array, but miss the
last tracepoint if the number of tracepoints is odd on 64-bit arch.
Fix this by introducing a new typedef: tracepoint_ptr_t, which
is either "const int" on architectures that have PREL32 relocations,
or "struct tracepoint * const" on architectures that does not have
this feature.
Also provide a new tracepoint_ptr_defer() static inline to
encapsulate deferencing this type rather than duplicate code and
ugly idefs within the for_each_tracepoint_range() implementation.
This issue appears in 4.19-rc kernels, and should ideally be fixed
before the end of the rc cycle.

In recent tests with IRQ on/off tracepoints, a large performance
overhead ~10% is noticed when running hackbench. This is root caused to
calls to rcu_irq_enter_irqson and rcu_irq_exit_irqson from the
tracepoint code. Following a long discussion on the list [1] about this,
we concluded that srcu is a better alternative for use during rcu idle.
Although it does involve extra barriers, its lighter than the sched-rcu
version which has to do additional RCU calls to notify RCU idle about
entry into RCU sections.
In this patch, we change the underlying implementation of the
trace_*_rcuidle API to use SRCU. This has shown to improve performance
alot for the high frequency irq enable/disable tracepoints.
Test: Tested idle and preempt/irq tracepoints.
Here are some performance numbers:
With a run of the following 30 times on a single core x86 Qemu instance
with 1GB memory:
hackbench -g 4 -f 2 -l 3000
Completion times in seconds. CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y.
No patches (without this series)
Mean: 3.048
Median: 3.025
Std Dev: 0.064
With Lockdep using irq tracepoints with RCU implementation:
Mean: 3.451 (-11.66 %)
Median: 3.447 (-12.22%)
Std Dev: 0.049
With Lockdep using irq tracepoints with SRCU implementation (this series):
Mean: 3.020 (I would consider the improvement against the "without
this series" case as just noise).
Median: 3.013
Std Dev: 0.033

Some tracepoints have a registration function that gets enabled when the
tracepoint is enabled. There may be cases that the registraction function
must fail (for example, can't allocate enough memory). In this case, the
tracepoint should also fail to register, otherwise the user would not know
why the tracepoint is not working.

In order to guarantee that a probe will be called before other probes that
are attached to a tracepoint, there needs to be a mechanism to provide
priority of one probe over the others.
Adding a prio field to the struct tracepoint_func, which lets the probes be
sorted by the priority set in the structure. If no priority is specified,
then a priority of 10 is given (this is a macro, and perhaps may be changed
in the future).
Now probes may be added to affect other probes that are attached to a
tracepoint with a guaranteed order.
One use case would be to allow tracing of tracepoints be able to filter by
pid. A special (higher priority probe) may be added to the sched_switch
tracepoint and set the necessary flags of the other tracepoints to notify
them if they should be traced or not. In case a tracepoint is enabled at the
sched_switch tracepoint too, the order of the two are not random.

syscall_regfunc() ignores the kernel threads because "it has no effect",
see cc3b13c1 "Don't trace kernel thread syscalls" which added this check.
However, this means that a user-space task spawned by call_usermodehelper()
will run without TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT if sys_tracepoint_refcount != 0.
Remove this check. The unnecessary report from ret_from_fork path mentioned
by cc3b13c1 is no longer possible, see See commit fb45550d76 "make sure
that kernel_thread() callbacks call do_exit() themselves".
A kernel_thread() callback can only return and take the int_ret_from_sys_call
path after do_execve() succeeds, otherwise the kernel will crash. But in this
case it is no longer a kernel thread and thus is needs TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT.

1. Remove _irqsafe from syscall_regfunc/syscall_unregfunc,
read_lock(tasklist) doesn't need to disable irqs.
2. Change this code to avoid the deprecated do_each_thread()
and use for_each_process_thread() (stolen from the patch
from Frederic).
3. Change syscall_regfunc() to check PF_KTHREAD to skip
the kernel threads, ->mm != NULL is the common mistake.
Note: probably this check should be simply removed, needs
another patch.

Commit de7b297390 "tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash
for reg/unreg tracepoints" introduces a use after free by calling
release_probes on the old struct tracepoint array before the newly
allocated array is published with rcu_assign_pointer. There is a race
window where tracepoints (RCU readers) can perform a
"use-after-grace-period-after-free", which shows up as a GPF in
stress-tests.

design of tracepoints and how a user could register a tracepoint
and have that tracepoint not be activated but no error was shown.
The design was for an out of tree module but broke in tree users.
The clean up was to remove the saving of the hash table of tracepoint
names such that they can be enabled before they exist (enabling
a module tracepoint before that module is loaded). This added more
complexity than needed. The clean up was to remove that code and
just enable tracepoints that exist or fail if they do not.
This removed a lot of code as well as the complexity that it brought.
As a side effect, instead of registering a tracepoint by its name,
the tracepoint needs to be registered with the tracepoint descriptor.
This removes having to duplicate the tracepoint names that are
enabled.
The second patch was added that simplified the way modules were
searched for.
This cleanup required changes that were in the 3.15 queue as well as
some changes that were added late in the 3.14-rc cycle. This final
change waited till the two were merged in upstream and then the
change was added and full tests were run. Unfortunately, the
test found some errors, but after it was already submitted to the
for-next branch and not to be rebased. Sparse errors were detected
by Fengguang Wu's bot tests, and my internal tests discovered that
the anonymous union initialization triggered a bug in older gcc compilers.
Luckily, there was a bugzilla for the gcc bug which gave a work around
to the problem. The third and fourth patch handled the sparse error
and the gcc bug respectively.
A final patch was tagged along to fix a missing documentation for
the README file.

Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer
rather than tracepoint name.
This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by
Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux
size.
From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer
to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a
tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for
unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated
tracepoint is unloaded.

Tracepoint: Dissociate from module mutex
The following functions became unnecessary:
- tracepoint_probe_register_noupdate,
- tracepoint_probe_unregister_noupdate,
- tracepoint_probe_update_all.
In fact, none of the in-kernel tracers, nor LTTng, nor SystemTAP use
them. Remove those.
Moreover, the functions:
- tracepoint_iter_start,
- tracepoint_iter_next,
- tracepoint_iter_stop,
- tracepoint_iter_reset.
are unused by in-kernel tracers, LTTng and SystemTAP. Remove those too.

Users have reported being unable to trace non-signed modules loaded
within a kernel supporting module signature.
This is caused by tracepoint.c:tracepoint_module_coming() refusing to
take into account tracepoints sitting within force-loaded modules
(TAINT_FORCED_MODULE). The reason for this check, in the first place, is
that a force-loaded module may have a struct module incompatible with
the layout expected by the kernel, and can thus cause a kernel crash
upon forced load of that module on a kernel with CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS=y.
Tracepoints, however, specifically accept TAINT_OOT_MODULE and
TAINT_CRAP, since those modules do not lead to the "very likely system
crash" issue cited above for force-loaded modules.
With kernels having CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y (signed modules), a non-signed
module is tainted re-using the TAINT_FORCED_MODULE taint flag.
Unfortunately, this means that Tracepoints treat that module as a
force-loaded module, and thus silently refuse to consider any tracepoint
within this module.
Since an unsigned module does not fit within the "very likely system
crash" category of tainting, add a new TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE taint flag
to specifically address this taint behavior, and accept those modules
within Tracepoints. We use the letter 'X' as a taint flag character for
a module being loaded that doesn't know how to sign its name (proposed
by Steven Rostedt).
Also add the missing 'O' entry to trace event show_module_flags() list
for the sake of completeness.

Tracepoints were made to allow enabling a tracepoint in a module before that
module was loaded. When a tracepoint is enabled and it does not exist, the
name is stored and will be enabled when the tracepoint is created.
The problem with this approach is that when a tracepoint is enabled when
it expects to be there, it gives no warning that it does not exist.
To add salt to the wound, if a module is added and sets the FORCED flag, which
can happen if it isn't signed properly, the tracepoint code will not enabled
the tracepoints, but they will be created in the debugfs system! When a user
goes to enable the tracepoint, the tracepoint code will not see it existing
and will think it is to be enabled later AND WILL NOT GIVE A WARNING.
The tracing will look like it succeeded but will actually be doing nothing.
This will cause lots of confusion and headaches for developers trying to
figure out why they are not seeing their tracepoints.

No reason to allocate tp_module structures for modules that have no
tracepoints. This just wastes memory.

If a module fails to add its tracepoints due to module tainting, do not
create the module event infrastructure in the debugfs directory. As the events
will not work and worse yet, they will silently fail, making the user wonder
why the events they enable do not display anything.
Having a warning on module load and the events not visible to the users
will make the cause of the problem much clearer.

Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major
changes with this pull request.
1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility
This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years.
I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally
had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple
instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different
buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise
of a high frequency event.
Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers
(ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only
be written to the main buffer.
2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended.
The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a
function is hit, and one to disable tracing. Now you can record a
stack trace on a single (or many) function(s), take a snapshot of the
buffer (copy it to the snapshot buffer), and you can enable or disable
an event to be traced when a function is hit.
3) A perf clock has been added.
A "perf" clock can be chosen to be used when tracing. This will cause
ftrace to use the same clock as perf uses, and hopefully this will make
it easier to interleave the perf and ftrace data for analysis.
