In order to facilitate debugging of issues from automated runs of the ftrace
selftests turn on verbose logging by default when run from the kselftest
runner. This is primarily used by automated systems where developers may
not have direct access to the system so defaulting to providing diagnostic
information which might help debug problems seems like a good idea.
When tests pass no extra output is generated, when they fail a full log of
the test run is provided. Since this really is rather verbose when there are
a large number of test failures or output is slow (eg, with a serial
console) this could substantially increase the run time for the tests which
might present problems with timeout detection for affected systems,
hopefully we keep the tests running well enough that this is not too much
of an issue.

When -v is specified ftracetest will dump logs of test execution to the
console which if -K is also specified for KTAP output will result in
output that is not properly KTAP formatted. All that's required for KTAP
formatting is that anything we log have a '#' at the start of the line so
we can improve things by washing the output through a simple read loop.
This will help automated parsers when verbose mode is enabled.

The event filter function test has been failing in our internal test
farm:
| # not ok 33 event filter function - test event filtering on functions
Running the test in verbose mode indicates that this is because the test
erroneously determines that kmem_cache_free() is the most common caller
of kmem_cache_free():
# # + cut -d: -f3 trace
# # + sed s/call_site=([^+]*)+0x.*/1/
# # + sort
# # + uniq -c
# # + sort
# # + tail -n 1
# # + sed s/^[ 0-9]*//
# # + target_func=kmem_cache_free
... and as kmem_cache_free() doesn't call itself, setting this as the
filter function for kmem_cache_free() results in no hits, and
consequently the test fails:
# # + grep kmem_cache_free trace
# # + grep kmem_cache_free
# # + wc -l
# # + hitcnt=0
# # + grep kmem_cache_free trace
# # + grep -v kmem_cache_free
# # + wc -l
# # + misscnt=0
# # + [ 0 -eq 0 ]
# # + exit_fail
This seems to be because the system in question has tasks with ':' in
their name (which a number of kernel worker threads have). These show up
in the trace, e.g.
test:.sh-1299 [004] ..... 2886.040608: kmem_cache_free: call_site=putname+0xa4/0xc8 ptr=000000000f4d22f4 name=names_cache
... and so when we try to extact the call_site with:
cut -d: -f3 trace | sed 's/call_site=\([^+]*\)+0x.*/\1/'
... the 'cut' command will extrace the column containing
'kmem_cache_free' rather than the column containing 'call_site=...', and
the 'sed' command will leave this unchanged. Consequently, the test will
decide to use 'kmem_cache_free' as the filter function, resulting in the
failure seen above.
Fix this by matching the 'call_site=<func>' part specifically to extract
the function name.

Support accessing $argN in the return probe events. This will help users to
record entry data in function return (exit) event for simplfing the function
entry/exit information in one event, and record the result values (e.g.
allocated object/initialized object) at function exit.
For example, if we have a function `int init_foo(struct foo *obj, int param)`
sometimes we want to check how `obj` is initialized. In such case, we can
define a new return event like below;
# echo 'r init_foo retval=$retval param=$arg2 field1=+0($arg1)' >> kprobe_events
Thus it records the function parameter `param` and its result `obj->field1`
(the dereference will be done in the function exit timing) value at once.
This also support fprobe, BTF args and'$arg*'. So if CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF
is enabled, we can trace both function parameters and the return value
by following command.
# echo 'f target_function%return $arg* $retval' >> dynamic_events

- Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created
Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can
use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care about the
thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the sub-system to specify
what sub-systems of events it cares about, and only those events are exposed
to this instance.
- Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than just the
architecture page size. A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb"
is created. The user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be
in kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the sub-buffer
size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user only writes in
kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to the next size that
it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in 10, it will change the
size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is the next available size that
can hold 10K pages.
- Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring buffer.
If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a debug config
options that will dump the contents of the meta data of the sub-buffer that
is used for debugging. Add some more information to this dump that helps
with debugging.
- Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is enabled)
- Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes.
- Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just under
2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold).
- Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can hold.
- Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has been
removed.
- More selftests were added.
- Some code clean ups as well.

A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The
user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in
kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the
sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user
only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to
the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in
10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is
the next available size that can hold 10K pages.
- Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring
buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a
debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of
the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information
to this dump that helps with debugging.
- Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is
enabled)
- Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes.
- Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just
under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold).
- Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can
hold.
- Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has
been removed.
- More selftests were added.
- Some code clean ups as well.

As there were bugs found with the ownership of eventfs dynamic file
creation. Add a test to test it.
It will remount tracefs with a different gid and check the ownership of
the eventfs directory, as well as the system and event directories. It
will also check the event file directories.
It then does a chgrp on each of these as well to see if they all get
updated as expected.
Then it remounts the tracefs file system back to the original group and
makes sure that all the updated files and directories were reset back to
the original ownership.
It does the same for instances that change the ownership of he instance
directory.
Note, because the uid is not reset by a remount, it is tested for every
file by switching it to a new owner and then back again.

The tests in the selftests should not have the exec permissions set. The

Set the permission to that file back to just read/write.

Using page order for deciding what the size of the ring buffer sub buffers
are is exposing a bit too much of the implementation. Although the sub
buffers are only allocated in orders of pages, allow the user to specify
the minimum size of each sub-buffer via kilobytes like they can with the
buffer size itself.
If the user specifies 3 via:
echo 3 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb
Then the sub-buffer size will round up to 4kb (on a 4kb page size system).
If they specify:
echo 6 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb
The sub-buffer size will become 8kb.
and so on.

- Remove eventfs_file descriptor
This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
create its files dynamically.
In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and
file inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The
directories were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files
were represented by a eventfs_file.
In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format",
etc files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf
eventfs directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a
callback. When a event is added to the eventfs, it registers
an array of evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and
the callbacks to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets
the name so that the same callback may be used by multiple files.
The callback then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed
to create this file.
This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
instances down by 2 megs each!
- User events now has persistent events that are not associated
to a single processes. These are privileged events that hang around
even if no process is attached to them.
- Clean up of seq_buf.
There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and friends.
But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf to be
able to do this.
- Expand instance ring buffers individually
Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance.
- Other minor clean ups and fixes.

user_events test has been enabled for default run in Linux 6.6-rc1. The
following fixes are for bugs found since then:
- adds checks for dependencies and skips the test. user_events test

tracefs mounted and a fix is in progress for that missing piece.
- creates user_events test-specific Kconfig fragments.
ftrace test fixes:
- unmounts tracefs for recovering environment. Fix identified during the

There was a race between accesses and freeing it.

- Fix a ring buffer race that happens when iterating over the ring

the event meta data if it's beyond the end of the ring buffer sub buffer.
- Fix the print trigger that disappeared because the test to create it

"ef" field filled for the eventfs structure.
- Remove the unused "dir" field from the event structure.
- Fix the order of the trace_dynamic_info as it had it backwards for the
offset and len fields for which one was for which endianess.
- Fix NULL pointer dereference with eventfs_remove_rec()
If an allocation fails in one of the eventfs_add_*() functions,
the caller of it in event_subsystem_dir() or event_create_dir()
assigns the result to the structure. But it's assigning the ERR_PTR
and not NULL. This was passed to eventfs_remove_rec() which expects
either a good pointer or a NULL, not ERR_PTR. The fix is to not
assign the ERR_PTR to the structure, but to keep it NULL on error.
- Fix list_for_each_rcu() to use list_for_each_srcu() in
dcache_dir_open_wrapper(). One iteration of the code used RCU
but because it had to call sleepable code, it had to be changed
to use SRCU, but one of the iterations was missed.
- Fix synthetic event print function to use "as_u64" instead of
passing in a pointer to the union. To fix big/little endian issues,
the u64 that represented several types was turned into a union to
define the types properly.

Pull kselftest fixes from Shuah Khan:
- kselftest runner script to propagate SIGTERM to runner child
to avoid kselftest hang
- install symlinks required for test execution to avoid test
failures

selftests/ftrace: Correctly enable event in instance-event.tc
Fix to unmount the tracefs if the ftracetest mounted it for recovering
system environment. If the tracefs is already mounted, this does nothing.

When I'm debugging something with the ftrace selftests and need to look at
the logs, it becomes tedious that I need to do the following:
ls -ltr logs
[ copy the last directory ]
ls logs/<paste-last-dir>
to see where the logs are.
Instead, do the common practice of having a "latest" softlink to the last
run selftest. This way after running the selftest I only need to do:
ls logs/latest/
and it will always give me the directory of the last run selftest logs!

Commit b81a3a100cca1b ("tracing/histogram: Add simple tests for
stacktrace usage of synthetic events") changed the output text in
tracefs README, but missed updating some of the dependencies specified
in selftests. This causes some of the tests to exit as unsupported.
Fix this by changing the grep pattern. Since we want these tests to work
on older kernels, match only against the common last part of the
pattern.

- Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer size via
buffer_size_kb. Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual
size rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.
Major changes:
- Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and dentries of
tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of events, and each event
has several inodes and dentries that currently exist even when tracing is
never used, they take up precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate
the inodes and dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There
is now metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will create
the inodes and dentries when they are used.
Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data, but will
wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's a little more
complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code works properly before
adding more complexity, making it easier to revert if need be.
Minor changes:
- Optimization to user event list traversal.
- Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the intermediate
permission removes all access to the files so it is not a security concern,
but just a clean up.)
- Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event logic.

The KTAP parser I used to test the KTAP output for ftracetest was overly
robust and did not notice that the test number and pass/fail result were
reversed. Fix this.

Add new test case kprobe_opt_types.tc which enables and checks
if each probe has been optimized in order to test potential issues with
optimized probes.
The '|| continue' is added with the echo statement to ignore errors that
are caused by trying to add kprobes to non probeable lines and continue
with the test.

Commit 97f88a3d723162 ("powerpc/kprobes: Fix null pointer reference in
arch_prepare_kprobe()") fixed a recent kernel oops that was caused as
ftrace-based kprobe does not generate kprobe::ainsn::insn and it gets
set to NULL.
Add new test case kprobe_insn_boundary.tc which adds a
kprobe at every byte within $FUNCTION_FORK up to an offset of 256 bytes,
to be able to test potential issues with kprobes on
successive instructions.
The '|| continue' is added with the echo statement to ignore errors that
are caused by trying to add kprobes to non probeable lines and continue
with the test.
