15 years agoring-buffer: remove ring_buffer_event_discard

ring-buffer: remove ring_buffer_event_discard

The function ring_buffer_event_discard can be used on any item in the
ring buffer, even after the item was committed. This function provides
no safety nets and is very race prone.

An item may be safely removed from the ring buffer before it is committed
with the ring_buffer_discard_commit.

Since there are currently no users of this function, and because this
function is racey and error prone, this patch removes it altogether.

Note, removing this function also allows the counters to ignore
all discarded events (patches will follow).

15 years agoring-buffer: fix ring_buffer_read crossing pages
Steven Rostedt [Thu, 3 Sep 2009 14:02:09 +0000 (10:02 -0400)] 
ring-buffer: fix ring_buffer_read crossing pages

When the ring buffer uses an iterator (static read mode, not on the
fly reading), when it crosses a page boundery, it will skip the first
entry on the next page. The reason is that the last entry of a page
is usually padding if the page is not full. The padding will not be
returned to the user.

The problem arises on ring_buffer_read because it also increments the
iterator. Because both the read and peek use the same rb_iter_peek,
the rb_iter_peak will return the padding but also increment to the next
item. This is because the ring_buffer_peek will not incerment it
itself.

The ring_buffer_read will increment it again and then call rb_iter_peek
again to get the next item. But that will be the second item, not the
first one on the page.

The reason this never showed up before, is because the ftrace utility
always calls ring_buffer_peek first and only uses ring_buffer_read
to increment to the next item. The ring_buffer_peek will always keep
the pointer to a valid item and not padding. This just hid the bug.

tracing: Fix double CPP substitution in TRACE_EVENT_FN

TRACE_EVENT_FN relays on TRACE_EVENT by reprocessing its parameters
into the ftrace events CPP macro. This leads to a double substitution
in some cases.

For example, a bad consequence is a format always prefixed by
"%s, %s\n" for every TRACE_EVENT_FN based events.

Eg:
cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter/format
[...]
print fmt: "%s, %s\n", "\"NR %ld (%lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx)\"",\
"REC->id, REC->args[0], REC->args[1], REC->args[2], REC->args[3],\
REC->args[4], REC->args[5]"

This creates a failure in post-processing tools such as perf trace or
trace-cmd.

Then drop this double substitution and replace it by a new __cpparg()
macro that relays CPP arguments containing commas.

15 years agotracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls
Hendrik Brueckner [Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:50:27 +0000 (14:50 +0200)] 
tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls

Most arch syscall_get_nr() implementations returns -1 if the syscall
number is not valid.  Accessing the bit field without a check might
result in a kernel oops (at least I saw it on s390 for ftrace selftest).

Before this change, this problem did not occur, because the invalid
syscall number (-1) caused syscall_nr_to_meta() to return NULL.

There are at least two scenarios where syscall_get_nr() can return -1:

1. For example, ptrace stores an invalid syscall number, and thus,
   tracing code resets it.
   (see do_syscall_trace_enter in arch/s390/kernel/ptrace.c)

2. The syscall_regfunc() (kernel/tracepoint.c) sets the
   TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE (now: TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) flag for all threads
   which include kernel threads.
   However, the ftrace selftest triggers a kernel oops when testing
   syscall trace points:
      - The kernel thread is started as ususal (do_fork()),
      - tracing code sets TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE,
      - the ret_from_fork() function is triggered and starts
ftrace_syscall_exit() with an invalid syscall number.

To avoid these scenarios, I suggest to check the syscall_nr.

For instance, the ftrace selftest fails for s390 (with config option
CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS set) and produces the following kernel oops.

tracing/filters: Support filtering for char * strings

Usually, char * entries are dangerous in traces because the string
can be released whereas a pointer to it can still wait to be read from
the ring buffer.

But sometimes we can assume it's safe, like in case of RO data
(eg: __file__ or __line__, used in bkl trace event). If these RO data
are in a module and so is the call to the trace event, then it's safe,
because the ring buffer will be flushed once this module get unloaded.

To allow char * to be treated as a string:

TRACE_EVENT(...,

TP_STRUCT__entry(
__field_ext(const char *, name, FILTER_PTR_STRING)
...
)

...
);

The filtering will not dereference "char *" unless the developer
explicitly sets FILTER_PTR_STR in __field_ext.

15 years agotracing: Add vim script to enable folding for function_graph traces

tracing: Add vim script to enable folding for function_graph traces

function_graph traces look like nested function calls, complete with
braces denoting the start and end of functions.  function-graph-fold.vim
teaches vim how to fold these functions, to make it more convenient to
browse them.

To use, :source function-graph-fold.vim while viewing a function_graph
trace, or use "view -S function-graph-fold.vim some-trace" to load it
from the command-line together with a trace.  You can then use the usual
vim fold commands, such as "za", to open and close nested functions.
While closed, a fold will show the total time taken for a call, as would
normally appear on the line with the closing brace.  Folded functions
will not include finish_task_switch(), so folding should remain
relatively sane even through a context switch.

Note that this will almost certainly only work well with a single-CPU
trace (e.g. trace-cmd report --cpu 1).  It also takes some time to run
(a few seconds for a large trace on my laptop).  Nevertheless, I found
it very handy to get an overview of a trace and then drill down on
problematic calls.

tracing: Move tracepoint callbacks from declaration to definition

It's not strictly correct for the tracepoint reg/unreg callbacks to
occur when a client is hooking up, because the actual tracepoint may not
be present yet.  This happens to be fine for syscall, since that's in
the core kernel, but it would cause problems for tracepoints defined in
a module that hasn't been loaded yet.  It also means the reg/unreg has
to be EXPORTed for any modules to use the tracepoint (as in SystemTap).

This patch removes DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK, and instead introduces
DEFINE_TRACE_FN which stores the callbacks in struct tracepoint.  The
callbacks are used now when the active state of the tracepoint changes
in set_tracepoint & disable_tracepoint.

This also introduces TRACE_EVENT_FN, so ftrace events can also provide
registration callbacks if needed.

The "format" file of a trace event is originally for parsers to
parse ftrace binary output.

But the "format" file of a syscall event can only be used by

[S390] ftrace: update system call tracer support

Commit fb34a08c3 ("tracing: Add trace events for each syscall
entry/exit") changed the lowlevel API to ftrace syscall tracing
but did not update s390 which started making use of it recently.

This broke the s390 build, as reported by Paul Mundt.

Update the callbacks with the syscall number and the syscall
return code values. This allows per syscall tracepoints,
syscall argument enumeration /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/
and perfcounters support and integration on s390 too.

Linus Torvalds [Mon, 10 Aug 2009 20:21:19 +0000 (13:21 -0700)] 
pty: fix data loss when stopped (^S/^Q)

Commit d945cb9cc ("pty: Rework the pty layer to use the normal buffering
logic") dropped the test for 'tty->stopped' in pty_write_room(), which
then causes the n_tty line discipline thing to not throttle the data
properly when the tty is stopped.

So instead of pausing the write due to the tty being stopped, the ldisc
layer would go ahead and push it down to the pty.  The pty write()
routine would then refuse to take the data (because it _did_ check
'stopped'), and the data wouldn't actually be written.

This whole stopped test should eventually be moved into the tty ldisc
layer rather than have low-level tty drivers care about these things,
but right now the fix is to just re-instate the missing pty 'stopped'
handling.

Linus Torvalds [Fri, 31 Jul 2009 19:45:41 +0000 (12:45 -0700)] 
x86: Fix serialization in pit_expect_msb()

Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case:

| pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case
| in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong
| CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success
| section.

I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact
that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no
serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in
the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle
counter was read without proper serialization.

The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since
_inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has
the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration.

So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one
that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the
final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized.

In other words:

 - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last
   iteration, rather than in every iteration

 - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a
   serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read.

Here's a suggested replacement.

perf tools: callchain: Fix bad rounding of minimum rate

Sometimes we get callchain branches that have a rate under the
limit given by the user.

Say you launched:

 perf record -f -g -a ./hackbench 10
 perf report -g fractal,10.0

And you got:

2.33%       hackbench  [kernel]                  [k] _spin_lock_irqsave

                ...

It is abnormal to get a 7.14% branch whereas we passed a 10%
filter.

The problem is that we round down the minimum threshold. This
happens mostly when we have very low number of events. If the
total amount of your branch is 4 and you have a subranch of 3
events, filtering to 90% will be computed like follows:

  limit = 4 * 0.9;

The result is about 3.6, but the cast to integer will round
down to 3. It means that our filter is actually of 75%

We must then explicitly round up the minimum threshold.
