As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.
As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

The ftrace_profile->counter is unsigned long and
do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which means it can test
non-zero and be truncated to zero for division.
Fix this issue by using div64_ul() instead.

Depending on type of BPF programs served by BPF trampoline it can call original

bad RIP. Teach graph tracer to skip functions that have BPF trampoline attached.

- PERAMAENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a function
As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable all
attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on live
kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a ftrace_ops
is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it will prevent
ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if ftrace_enabled is already
disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops with PREMANENT flag set from
being registered.
- New register_ftrace_direct(). As eBPF would like to register its own
trampolines to be called by the ftrace nop locations directly,
without going through the ftrace trampoline, this function has been
added. This allows for eBPF trampolines to live along side of
ftrace, perf, kprobe and live patching. It also utilizes the ftrace
enabled_functions file that keeps track of functions that have been
modified in the kernel, to allow for security auditing.
- Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances. Subsystems in
the kernel can now create and destroy their own tracing instances
which allows them to have their own tracing buffer, and be able
to record events without worrying about other users from writing over
their data.
- New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
seq_buf usage.
- Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency tracers.
- Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch and
friends.
- More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)
- Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
system call trace events.
This along with small clean ups and fixes.

If a direct ftrace callback is at a location that does not have any other
ftrace helpers attached to it, it is possible to simply just change the
text to call the new caller (if the architecture supports it). But this
requires special architecture code. Currently, modify_ftrace_direct() uses a
trick to add a stub ftrace callback to the location forcing it to call the
ftrace iterator. Then it can change the direct helper to call the new
function in C, and then remove the stub. Removing the stub will have the
location now call the new location that the direct helper is using.
The new helper function does the registering the stub trick, but is a weak
function, allowing an architecture to override it to do something a bit more
direct.

As testing for direct calls from the function graph tracer adds a little
overhead (which is a lot when tracing every function), add a counter that
can be used to test if function_graph tracer needs to test for a direct
caller or not.
It would have been nicer if we could use a static branch, but the static
branch logic fails when used within the function graph tracer trampoline.

As function_graph tracer modifies the return address to insert a trampoline
to trace the return of a function, it must be aware of a direct caller, as
when it gets called, the function's return address may not be at on the
stack where it expects. It may have to see if that return address points to
the a direct caller and adjust if it is.

Add the start of the functionality to allow other trampolines to use the
ftrace mcount/fentry/nop location. This adds two new functions:
register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct()
Both take two parameters: the first is the instruction address of where the
mcount/fentry/nop exists, and the second is the trampoline to have that
location called.
This will handle cases where ftrace is already used on that same location,
and will make it still work, where the registered direct called trampoline
will get called after all the registered ftrace callers are handled.
Currently, it will not allow for IP_MODIFY functions to be called at the
same locations, which include some kprobes and live kernel patching.
At this point, no architecture supports this. This is only the start of
implementing the framework.

Create a new function called lookup_rec() from the functionality of
ftrace_location_range(). The difference between lookup_rec() is that it
returns the record that it finds, where as ftrace_location_range() returns
only if it found a match or not.
The lookup_rec() is static, and can be used for new functionality where
ftrace needs to find a record of a specific address.

Most of the functionality of __ftrace_hash_move() can be reused, but not all
of it. That is, __ftrace_hash_move() is used to simply make a new hash from
an existing one, using the same size as the original. Creating a dup_hash(),
where we can specify a new size will be useful when we want to create a hash
with a default size, or simply copy the old one.

Architectures may need to perform special initialization of ftrace
callsites, and today they do so by special-casing ftrace_make_nop() when
the expected branch address is MCOUNT_ADDR. In some cases (e.g. for
patchable-function-entry), we don't have an mcount-like symbol and don't
want a synthetic MCOUNT_ADDR, but we may need to perform some
initialization of callsites.
To make it possible to separate initialization from runtime
modification, and to handle cases without an mcount-like symbol, this
patch adds an optional ftrace_init_nop() function that architectures can
implement, which does not pass a branch address.
Where an architecture does not provide ftrace_init_nop(), we will fall
back to the existing behaviour of calling ftrace_make_nop() with
MCOUNT_ADDR.
At the same time, ftrace_code_disable() is renamed to
ftrace_nop_initialize() to make it clearer that it is intended to
intialize a callsite into a disabled state, and is not for disabling a
callsite that has been runtime enabled. The kerneldoc description of rec
arguments is updated to cover non-mcount callsites.

Livepatch uses ftrace for redirection to new patched functions. It means
that if ftrace is disabled, all live patched functions are disabled as
well. Toggling global 'ftrace_enabled' sysctl thus affect it directly.
It is not a problem per se, because only administrator can set sysctl
values, but it still may be surprising.
Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flag to amend this. If the
FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT is set on any ftrace ops, the tracing cannot be
disabled by disabling ftrace_enabled. Equally, a callback with the flag
set cannot be registered if ftrace_enabled is disabled.

Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown
mode, and if so, to return -EPERM.
Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines)
as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being
traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter
intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been
modified.

Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is
set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when
tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring
buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from
crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on
boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is
disabled until reboot.
As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs
directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array
associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is
freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array,
then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there
could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is
found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and
the trace_array associated with it freed).
Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a
single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to
tracefs later.

The test (ftrace_set_ftrace_filter.sh) is part of ftrace stress tests
and the crash happens when the test does 'cat
$TRACING_PATH/set_ftrace_filter'.
The address points to the second line below, in t_probe_next(), where
filter_hash is dereferenced:
hash = iter->probe->ops.func_hash->filter_hash;
size = 1 << hash->size_bits;
This happens due to a race with register_ftrace_function_probe(). A new
ftrace_func_probe is created and added into the func_probes list in
trace_array under ftrace_lock. However, before initializing the filter,
we drop ftrace_lock, and re-acquire it after acquiring regex_lock. If
another process is trying to read set_ftrace_filter, it will be able to
acquire ftrace_lock during this window and it will end up seeing a NULL
filter_hash.
Fix this by just checking for a NULL filter_hash in t_probe_next(). If
the filter_hash is NULL, then this probe is just being added and we can
simply return from here.

CONFIG_PREEMPTION is selected by CONFIG_PREEMPT and by
CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT. Both PREEMPT and PREEMPT_RT require the same
functionality which today depends on CONFIG_PREEMPT.
Switch the conditionals in the tracer over to CONFIG_PREEMPTION.
This is the first step to make the tracer work on RT. The other small

Possible unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(text_mutex);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
lock(text_mutex);
lock(cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem);
It is similar problem that has been solved by the commit 2d1e38f566
("kprobes: Cure hotplug lock ordering issues"). Many locks are involved.
To be on the safe side, text_mutex must become a low level lock taken
after cpu_hotplug_lock.rw_sem.
This can't be achieved easily with the current ftrace design.
For example, arm calls set_all_modules_text_rw() already in
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare(), see arch/arm/kernel/ftrace.c.
This functions is called:
+ outside stop_machine() from ftrace_run_update_code()
+ without stop_machine() from ftrace_module_enable()
Fortunately, the problematic fix is needed only on x86_64. It is
the only architecture that calls set_all_modules_text_rw()
in ftrace path and supports livepatching at the same time.
Therefore it is enough to move text_mutex handling from the generic
kernel/trace/ftrace.c into arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c:
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
This patch basically reverts the ftrace part of the problematic
commit 9f255b632b ("module: Fix livepatch/ftrace module
text permissions race"). And provides x86_64 specific-fix.
Some refactoring of the ftrace code will be needed when livepatching
is implemented for arm or nds32. These architectures call
set_all_modules_text_rw() and use stop_machine() at the same time.

Custom trampolines can only be enabled if there is only a single ops
attached to it. If there's only a single callback registered to a function,
and the ops has a trampoline registered for it, then we can call the
trampoline directly. This is very useful for improving the performance of
ftrace and livepatch.
If more than one callback is registered to a function, the general
trampoline is used, and the custom trampoline is not restored back to the
direct call even if all the other callbacks were unregistered and we are
back to one callback for the function.
To fix this, set FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag if rec count is decremented
to one, and the ops that left has a trampoline.

Automatic const char[] variables cause unnecessary code
generation. For example, the this_mod variable leads to

3f31: c7 44 24 0a 6f 64 75 6c movl $0x6c75646f,0xa(%rsp) # odul
3f39: 66 89 44 24 0e mov %ax,0xe(%rsp)
i.e., the string gets built on the stack at runtime. Similar code can be
found for the other instances I'm replacing here. Putting the string
in .rodata reduces the combined .text+.rodata size and saves time and
stack space at runtime.
The simplest fix, and what I've done for the this_mod case, is to just
make the variable static.
However, for the "<faulted>" case where the same string is used twice,
that prevents the linker from merging those two literals, so instead use
a macro - that also keeps the two instances automatically in
sync (instead of only the compile-time strlen expression).
Finally, for the two runs of spaces, it turns out that the "build
these strings on the stack" is not the worst part of what gcc does -
it turns print_func_help_header_irq() into "if (tgid) { /*
print_event_info + five seq_printf calls */ } else { /* print
event_info + another five seq_printf */}". Taking inspiration from a
suggestion from Al Viro, use %.*s to make snprintf either stop after
the first two spaces or print the whole string. As a bonus, the
seq_printfs now fit on single lines (at least, they are not longer
than the existing ones in the function just above), making it easier
to see that the ascii art lines up.

The function_graph tracer has a stub function and its ops flag has the
FTRACE_OPS_FL_STUB set. As the function graph does not use the
ftrace_ops->func pointer but instead is called by a separate part of the
ftrace trampoline. The function_graph tracer still requires to pass in a
ftrace_ops that may also hold the hash of the functions to call. But there's
no reason to test that hash in the function tracing portion. Instead of
testing to see if we should call the stub function, just test if the ops has
FTRACE_OPS_FL_STUB set, and just skip it.

Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the
functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The
process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer
(which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert
the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed
in.
When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary
bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit.
But this requires passing in half of the functions in
available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a
O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000
opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes.
As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files,
instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding
line of the available_filter_functions file. That is:
# echo 50 > set_ftrace_filter
# cat set_ftrace_filter
x86_pmu_commit_txn
# head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1
x86_pmu_commit_txn
This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in
less than a second!
# time seq 20000 > set_ftrace_filter
real 0m0.042s
user 0m0.005s

The function ftrace_replace_code() is the ftrace engine that does the
work to modify all the nops into the calls to the function callback in
all the functions being traced.
The generic version which is normally called from stop machine, but an
architecture can implement a non stop machine version and still use the
generic ftrace_replace_code(). When an architecture does this,
ftrace_replace_code() may be called from a schedulable context, where
it can allow the code to be preemptible, and schedule out.
In order to allow an architecture to make ftrace_replace_code()
schedulable, a new command flag is added called:
FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP
Which can be or'd to the command that is passed to
ftrace_modify_all_code() that calls ftrace_replace_code() and will have
it call cond_resched() in the loop that modifies the nops into the
calls to the ftrace trampolines.

The ret_stack processing is going to change, and that is going
to break anything that is accessing the ret_stack directly. One user is the
function graph profiler. By using the ftrace_graph_get_ret_stack() helper
function, the profiler can access the ret_stack entry without relying on the
implementation details of the stack itself.

Currently the registering of function graph is to pass in a entry and return
function. We need to have a way to associate those functions together where
the entry can determine to run the return hook. Having a structure that
contains both functions will facilitate the process of converting the code
to be able to do such.
This is similar to the way function hooks are enabled (it passes in
ftrace_ops). Instead of passing in the functions to use, a single structure
is passed in to the registering function.
The unregister function is now passed in the fgraph_ops handle. When we
allow more than one callback to the function graph hooks, this will let the
system know which one to remove.

The profiler uses trace->depth to find its entry on the ret_stack, but the
depth may not match the actual location of where its entry is (if an
interrupt were to preempt the processing of the profiler for another
function, the depth and the curr_ret_stack will be different).
Have it use the curr_ret_stack as the index to find its ret_stack entry
instead of using the depth variable, as that is no longer guaranteed to be
the same.

Currently, the depth of the ret_stack is determined by curr_ret_stack index.
The issue is that there's a race between setting of the curr_ret_stack and
calling of the callback attached to the return of the function.
Commit 03274a3ffb ("tracing/fgraph: Adjust fgraph depth before calling
trace return callback") moved the calling of the callback to after the
setting of the curr_ret_stack, even stating that it was safe to do so, when
in fact, it was the reason there was a barrier() there (yes, I should have
commented that barrier()).
Not only does the curr_ret_stack keep track of the current call graph depth,
it also keeps the ret_stack content from being overwritten by new data.
The function profiler, uses the "subtime" variable of ret_stack structure
and by moving the curr_ret_stack, it allows for interrupts to use the same
structure it was using, corrupting the data, and breaking the profiler.
To fix this, there needs to be two variables to handle the call stack depth
and the pointer to where the ret_stack is being used, as they need to change
at two different locations.

__unregister_ftrace_function_probe() will incorrectly parse the glob filter
because it resets the search variable that was setup by filter_parse_regex().
Al Viro reported this:
After that call of filter_parse_regex() we could have func_g.search not
equal to glob only if glob started with '!' or '*'. In the former case
we would've buggered off with -EINVAL (not = 1). In the latter we
would've set func_g.search equal to glob + 1, calculated the length of
that thing in func_g.len and proceeded to reset func_g.search back to
glob.
Suppose the glob is e.g. *foo*. We end up with
func_g.type = MATCH_MIDDLE_ONLY;
func_g.len = 3;
func_g.search = "*foo";
Feeding that to ftrace_match_record() will not do anything sane - we
will be looking for names containing "*foo" (->len is ignored for that
one).

The function tracer can create a dynamically allocated trampoline that is
called by the function mcount or fentry hook that is used to call the
function callback that is registered. The problem is that the orc undwinder
will bail if it encounters one of these trampolines. This breaks the stack
trace of function callbacks, which include the stack tracer and setting the
stack trace for individual functions.
Since these dynamic trampolines are basically copies of the static ftrace
trampolines defined in ftrace_*.S, we do not need to create new orc entries
for the dynamic trampolines. Finding the return address on the stack will be
identical as the functions that were copied to create the dynamic
trampolines. When encountering a ftrace dynamic trampoline, we can just use
the orc entry of the ftrace static function that was copied for that
trampoline.

If a module is loaded while tracing is enabled, then there's a possibility
that the module init functions were traced. These functions have their name
and address stored by ftrace such that it can translate the function address
that is written into the buffer into a human readable function name.
As userspace tools may be doing the same, they need a way to map function
names to their address as well. This is done through reading /proc/kallsyms.

When a ftrace filter has a module function, and that module is removed, the
filter still has its address as being enabled. This can cause interesting
side effects. Nothing dangerous, but unwanted functions can be traced
because of it.

This is because removing the snd_seq module after it was being filtered,
left the address of the snd_seq functions in the hash. When the kvm module
was loaded, some of its functions were loaded at the same address as the
snd_seq module. This would enable them to be filtered and traced.
Now we don't want to clear the hash completely. That would cause removing a
module where only its functions are filtered, to cause the tracing to enable
all functions, as an empty filter means to trace all functions. Instead,
just set the hash ip address to zero. Then it will never match any function.

There's a small race when function graph shutsdown and the calling of the
registered function graph entry callback. The callback must not reference
the task's ret_stack without first checking that it is not NULL. Note, when
a ret_stack is allocated for a task, it stays allocated until the task exits.
The problem here, is that function_graph is shutdown, and a new task was
created, which doesn't have its ret_stack allocated. But since some of the
functions are still being traced, the callbacks can still be called.
The normal function_graph code handles this, but starting with commit
8861dd303c ("ftrace: Access ret_stack->subtime only in the function
profiler") the profiler code references the ret_stack on function entry, but

When doing the following command:

This happened with the clean up of probes. It required all callers to the
regex function (doing ftrace filtering) to have ops->private be a pointer to
a trace_array. But for the stack tracer, that is not the case.
Allow for the ops->private to be NULL, and change the function command

When a module filter is added to set_ftrace_filter, if the module is not
loaded, it is cached. This should be considered an active filter, and
function tracing should be filtered by this. That is, if a cached module
filter is the only filter set, then no function tracing should be happening,
as all the functions available will be filtered out.
This makes sense, as the reason to add a cached module filter, is to trace
the module when you load it. There shouldn't be any other tracing happening
until then.

Dan Carpenter sent a patch to remove a check in ftrace_match_record()
because the logic of the code made the check redundant. I looked deeper into
the code, and made the following logic table, with the three variables and
the result of the original code.
modname mod_matches exclude_mod result
------- ----------- ----------- ------
0 0 0 return 0
0 0 1 func_match
0 1 * < cannot exist >
1 0 0 return 0
1 0 1 func_match
1 1 0 func_match
1 1 1 return 0
Notice that when mod_matches == exclude mod, the result is always to
return 0, and when mod_matches != exclude_mod, then the result is to test
the function. This means we only need test if mod_matches is equal to
exclude_mod.

With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes
(triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe
callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes
still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for
instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the
top array.
That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an
instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but
this change sets the ground work for the change.
When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into
set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in
init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching
function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init()
function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to
a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first
occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then
initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the
probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place
holder data that it was initialized to the last time.
Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions,
where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free()
function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function
that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no
more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be
freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the
place holder if it was allocade during the first init call.

In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique
set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and
the filters for the probes.
This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private
data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that
the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need
one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for
each instance, instead of being static.

Pass the trace_array associated to a ftrace_probe_ops into the probe_ops

Add a link list to the trace_array to hold func probes that are registered.
Currently, all function probes are the same for all instances as it was
before, that is, only the top level trace_array holds the function probes.
But this lays the ground work to have function probes be attached to
individual instances, and having the event trigger only affect events in the
given instance. But that work is still to be done.

When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch
to track if current task can be ignored. The probe checks the
ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks. But it misses to
delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash
due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free).
This is easily reproducible with the following:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# mkdir instances/buggy
# echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid
# rmdir instances/buggy

The function tracer needs to be more careful than other subsystems when it
comes to freeing data. Especially if that data is actually executable code.
When a single function is traced, a trampoline can be dynamically allocated
which is called to jump to the function trace callback. When the callback is
no longer needed, the dynamic allocated trampoline needs to be freed. This
is where the issues arise. The dynamically allocated trampoline must not be
used again. As function tracing can trace all subsystems, including
subsystems that are used to serialize aspects of freeing (namely RCU), it
must take extra care when doing the freeing.
Before synchronize_rcu_tasks() was around, there was no way for the function
tracer to know that nothing was using the dynamically allocated trampoline
when CONFIG_PREEMPT was enabled. That's because a task could be indefinitely
preempted while sitting on the trampoline. Now with synchronize_rcu_tasks(),
it will wait till all tasks have either voluntarily scheduled (not on the
trampoline) or goes into userspace (not on the trampoline). Then it is safe
to free the trampoline even with CONFIG_PREEMPT set.

Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to
not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is
enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since
ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to
update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing
ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself.
Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace
directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use
__init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is.
Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should
work for each of them.

This is due to the way t_start() calls t_next() as well as the seq_file
calls t_next() and the state is slightly different between the two. Namely,
t_start() will call t_next() with a local "pos" variable.
By separating out the function listing from t_next() into its own function,
we can have better control of outputting the functions and the hash of
triggers. This simplifies the code.

# echo schedule:traceoff >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
# cat set_ftrace_filter

This is because the "pos" variable is updated for the comment, but func_pos
is not. "func_pos" is used by the triggers (or hashes) to know how many
functions were printed and it bases its index from the pos - func_pos.
func_pos should be 1 to count for the comment printed. But since it is not,
t_hash_start() thinks that one trigger was already printed.
The cat gets to t_hash_start() via t_next() and not t_start() which updates
both pos and func_pos.

The return status check of __seq_open_private() is rather strange:

It makes much more sense to do the return of failure right away:

Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init
text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its
records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer
exists.
Note, this still does not allow for tracing .init text of modules, as
modules require different work for freeing its init code.

in initialization. A check was added to make sure that all jump label
entries were 4 bytes aligned, but powerpc didn't work that way for modules.
Adding an alignment in the module linker script appeared to be the best
solution.
Jump labels also added an anonymous union to access those LSB bits as a
normal long. But because this structure had static initialization, it broke
older compilers that could not statically initialize anonymous unions
without brackets.
The command line parameter for setting function graph filter broke the
"EMPTY_HASH" descriptor by modifying it instead of creating a new hash to
hold the entries.
The command line parameter ftrace_graph_max_depth was added to allow its
setting at boot time. It uses existing code and only the command line hook
was added. This is not really a fix, but as it uses existing code without
affecting anything else, I added it to this release. It was ready before the

[ changed comments about debugfs to tracefs ]
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
On boot up, if the kernel command line sets a graph funtion with the kernel
command line options "ftrace_graph_filter" or "ftrace_graph_notrace" then it
updates the corresponding function graph hash, ftrace_graph_hash or
ftrace_graph_notrace_hash respectively. Unfortunately, at boot up, these
variables are pointers to the "EMPTY_HASH" which is a constant used as a
placeholder when a hash has no entities. The problem was that the comand
line version to set the hashes updated the actual EMPTY_HASH instead of
creating a new hash for the function graph. This broke the EMPTY_HASH
because not only did it modify a constant (not sure how that was allowed to
happen, except maybe because it was done at early boot, const variables were
still mutable), but it made the filters have functions listed in them when
they were actually empty.
The kernel command line function needs to allocate a new hash for the
function graph filters and assign the necessary variables to that new hash
instead.

The hashs ftrace_graph_hash and ftrace_graph_notrace_hash are modified
within the graph_lock being held. Holding a pointer to them and passing them

Since reading the set_graph_functions uses seq functions, which sets the

This is a micro-optimization, but as it has to deal with a fast path of the
function tracer, these optimizations can be noticed.
The ftrace_lookup_ip() returns true if the given ip is found in the hash. If
it's not found or the hash is NULL, it returns false. But there's some cases
that a NULL hash is a true, and the ftrace_hash_empty() is tested before
calling ftrace_lookup_ip() in those cases. But as ftrace_lookup_ip() tests
that first, that adds a few extra unneeded instructions in those cases.
A new static "always_inlined" function is created that does not perform the
hash empty test. This most only be used by callers that do the check first
anyway, as an empty or NULL hash could cause a crash if a lookup is
performed on it.
Also add kernel doc for the ftrace_lookup_ip() main function.

When a module is first loaded and its function ip records are added to the
ftrace list of functions to modify, they are set to DISABLED, as their text
is still in a read only state. When the module is fully loaded, and can be
updated, the flag is cleared, and if their's any functions that should be
tracing them, it is updated at that moment.
But there's several locations that do record accounting and should ignore
records that are marked as disabled, or they can cause issues.
Alexei already fixed one location, but others need to be addressed.

ftrace_shutdown() checks for sanity of ftrace records
and if dyn_ftrace->flags is not zero, it will warn.
It can happen that 'flags' are set to FTRACE_FL_DISABLED at this point,
since some module was loaded, but before ftrace_module_enable()
cleared the flags for this module.
In other words the module.c is doing:
ftrace_module_init(mod); // calls ftrace_update_code() that sets flags=FTRACE_FL_DISABLED
... // here ftrace_shutdown() is called that warns, since
err = prepare_coming_module(mod); // didn't have a chance to clear FTRACE_FL_DISABLED
Fix it by ignoring disabled records.
It's similar to what __ftrace_hash_rec_update() is already doing.

Commit 345ddcc882 ("ftrace: Have set_ftrace_pid use the bitmap like events
do") placed ftrace_init_tracefs into the instance creation, and encapsulated
the top level updating with an if conditional, as the top level only gets
updated at boot up. Unfortunately, this triggers section mismatch errors as
the init functions are called from a function that can be called later, and
the section mismatch logic is unaware of the if conditional that would
prevent it from happening at run time.
To make everyone happy, create a separate ftrace_init_tracefs_toplevel()
routine that only gets called by init functions, and this will be what calls
other init functions for the toplevel directory.

1) I forgot that I had another selftest to stress test the ftrace
instance creation. It was actually suppose to go into the 4.6
merge window, but I never committed it. I almost forgot about it
again, but noticed it was missing from your tree.
2) Soumya PN sent me a clean up patch to not disable interrupts when
taking the tasklist_lock for read, as it's unnecessary because
that lock is never taken for write in irq context.
3) Newer gcc's can cause the jump in the function_graph code to the
global ftrace_stub label to be a short jump instead of a long one.
As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to
do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump
it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that call).
One way to prevent gcc from using a short jump is to declare the
ftrace_stub as a weak function, which we do here to keep gcc from
optimizing too much.

- Soumya PN sent me a clean up patch to not disable interrupts when
taking the tasklist_lock for read, as it's unnecessary because that
lock is never taken for write in irq context.
- Newer gcc's can cause the jump in the function_graph code to the
global ftrace_stub label to be a short jump instead of a long one.
As that jump is dynamically converted to jump to the trace code to
do function graph tracing, and that conversion expects a long jump
it can corrupt the ftrace_stub itself (it's directly after that
call). One way to prevent gcc from using a short jump is to
declare the ftrace_stub as a weak function, which we do here to
keep gcc from optimizing too much"

ftrace/x86: Set ftrace_stub to weak to prevent gcc from using short jumps to it
ftrace: Don't disable irqs when taking the tasklist_lock read_lock
ftracetest: Add instance created, delete, read and enable event test
In ftrace.c inside the function alloc_retstack_tasklist() (which will be
invoked when function_graph tracing is on) the tasklist_lock is being
held as reader while iterating through a list of threads. Here the lock
is being held as reader with irqs disabled. The tasklist_lock is never
write_locked in interrupt context so it is safe to not disable interrupts
for the duration of read_lock in this block which, can be significant,
given the block of code iterates through all threads. Hence changing the
code to call read_lock() and read_unlock() instead of read_lock_irqsave()
and read_unlock_irqrestore().

In the ppc64 big endian ABI, function symbols point to function
descriptors. The symbols which point to the function entry points
have a dot in front of the function name. Consequently, when the
ftrace filter mechanism searches for the symbol corresponding to
an entry point address, it gets the dot symbol.
As a result, ftrace filter users have to be aware of this ABI detail on
ppc64 and prepend a dot to the function name when setting the filter.
The perf probe command insulates the user from this by ignoring the dot
in front of the symbol name when matching function names to symbols,
but the sysfs interface does not. This patch makes the ftrace filter
mechanism do the same when searching symbols.
Fixes the following failure in ftracetest's kprobe_ftrace.tc:
.../kprobe_ftrace.tc: line 9: echo: write error: Invalid argument
That failure is on this line of kprobe_ftrace.tc:
echo _do_fork > set_ftrace_filter
This is because there's no _do_fork entry in the functions list:
# cat available_filter_functions | grep _do_fork
._do_fork
This change introduces no regressions on the perf and ftracetest
testsuite results.

Currently dynamic ftrace calls are updated any time
the ftrace_ops is un/registered. If we do this update
only when it's needed, we save lot of time for perf
system wide ftrace function sampling/counting.
The reason is that for system wide sampling/counting,
perf creates event for each cpu in the system.
Each event then registers separate copy of ftrace_ops,
which ends up in FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS updates. On servers
with many cpus that means serious stall (240 cpus server):

There's no reason to do the FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS update
for each event in perf case, because all the ftrace_ops
always share the same filter, so the updated calls are
always the same.
It's required that only first ftrace_ops registration
does the FTRACE_UPDATE_CALLS update (also sometimes
the second if the first one used the trampoline), but
the rest can be only cheaply linked into the ftrace_ops
list.

Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.
This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.

We hit ftrace_bug report when booting Android on a 64bit ATOM SOC chip.
Basically, there is a race between insmod and ftrace_run_update_code.
After load_module=>ftrace_module_init, another thread jumps in to call
ftrace_run_update_code=>ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare
=>set_all_modules_text_rw, to change all modules
as RW. Since the new module is at MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, the text attribute
is not changed. Then, the 2nd thread goes ahead to change codes.
However, load_module continues to call complete_formation=>set_section_ro_nx,
then 2nd thread would fail when probing the module's TEXT.
The patch fixes it by using notifier to delay the enabling of ftrace
records to the time when module is at state MODULE_STATE_COMING.

Qiu Peiyang pointed out that there's a race when enabling function tracing
and loading a module. In order to make the modifications of converting nops
in the prologue of functions into callbacks, the text needs to be converted
from read-only to read-write. When enabling function tracing, the text
permission is updated, the functions are modified, and then they are put
back.
When loading a module, the updates to convert function calls to mcount is
done before the module text is set to read-only. But after it is done, the
module text is visible by the function tracer. Thus we have the following
race:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
start function tracing
set text to read-write
load_module
add functions to ftrace
set module text read-only
update all functions to callbacks
modify module functions too
< Can't it's read-only >
When this happens, ftrace detects the issue and disables itself till the
next reboot.
To fix this, a new DISABLED flag is added for ftrace records, which all
module functions get when they are added. Then later, after the module code
is all set, the records will have the DISABLED flag cleared, and they will
be enabled if any callback wants all functions to be traced.
Note, this doesn't add the delay to later. It simply changes the
ftrace_module_init() to do both the setting of DISABLED records, and then
immediately calls the enable code. This helps with testing this new code as
it has the same behavior as previously. Another change will come after this
to have the ftrace_module_enable() called after the text is set to
read-only.

Jiri Olsa noted that the change to replace the control_ops did not update
the trampoline for when running perf on a single CPU and with CONFIG_PREEMPT
disabled (where dynamic ops, like perf, can use trampolines directly). The
result was that perf function could be called when RCU is not watching as
well as not handle the ftrace_local_disable().
Modify the ftrace_ops_get_func() to also check the RCU and PER_CPU ops flags
and use the recursive function if they are set. The recursive function is
modified to check those flags and execute the appropriate checks if they are
set.

Currently perf has its own list function within the ftrace infrastructure
that seems to be used only to allow for it to have per-cpu disabling as well
as a check to make sure that it's not called while RCU is not watching. It
uses something called the "control_ops" which is used to iterate over ops
under it with the control_list_func().
The problem is that this control_ops and control_list_func unnecessarily
complicates the code. By replacing FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL with two new flags
(FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU and FTRACE_OPS_FL_PER_CPU) we can remove all the code
that is special with the control ops and add the needed checks within the
generic ftrace_list_func().

When showing all tramps registered to a ftrace record in the file
enabled_functions, it exits the loop with ops == NULL. But then it is
suppose to show the function on the ops->trampoline and
add_trampoline_func() is called with the given ops. But because ops is now
NULL (to exit the loop), it always shows the static trampoline instead of
the one that is really registered to the record.
The call to add_trampoline_func() that shows the trampoline for the given
ops needs to be called at every iteration.

The ftrace function hook utility has several internal checks to make sure
that whatever it modifies is exactly what it expects to be modifying. This
is essential as modifying running code can be extremely dangerous to the
system.
When an anomaly is detected, ftrace_bug() is called which sends a splat to
the console and disables function tracing. There's some extra information
that is printed to help diagnose the issue.
One thing that is missing though is output of what ftrace was doing at the
time of the crash. Was it updating a call site or perhaps converting a call
site to a nop? A new global enum variable is created to state what ftrace
was doing at the time of the anomaly, and this is reported in ftrace_bug().

To cover the common case of sorting an array of pointers, Daniel
Wagner recently modified the library sort() to use a specific swap
function for size==8, in addition to the size==4 case which was
already handled. Since sizeof(long) is either 4 or 8,
ftrace_swap_ips() is redundant and we can just let sort() pick an

The sleep-time and graph-time options are only for the function graph tracer
and are not used by anything else. As tracer options are now visible when
the tracer is not activated, its better to move the function graph specific

o Allowing the trace event filters to filter on CPU number and process ids
o Two new markers for trace output latency were added
(10 and 100 msec latencies)
o Have tracing_thresh filter function profiling time
I also worked on modifying the ring buffer code for some future

of rebasing, this change set has the code that caused a regression
as well as the code to revert that change without touching the other

of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.
Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
__print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the
TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that
user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data
and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's
because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values
by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the
format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.
The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings
in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is
shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently
has this in its format file:
__print_symbolic(REC->reason,
{ TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
{ TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },

Dynamically allocated trampolines call ftrace_ops_get_func to get the
function which they should call. For dynamic fops (FTRACE_OPS_FL_DYNAMIC
flag is set) ftrace_ops_list_func is always returned. This is reasonable
for static trampolines but goes against the main advantage of dynamic
ones, that is avoidance of going through the list of all registered
callbacks for functions that are only being traced by a single callback.
We can fix it by returning ops->func (or recursion safe version) from
ftrace_ops_get_func whenever it is possible for dynamic trampolines.
Note that dynamic trampolines are not allowed for dynamic fops if
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y.

Some archs (specifically PowerPC), are sensitive with the ordering of
the enabling of the calls to function tracing and setting of the
function to use to be traced.
That is, update_ftrace_function() sets what function the ftrace_caller
trampoline should call. Some archs require this to be set before
calling ftrace_run_update_code().
Another bug was discovered, that ftrace_startup_sysctl() called
ftrace_run_update_code() directly. If the function the ftrace_caller
trampoline changes, then it will not be updated. Instead a call
to ftrace_startup_enable() should be called because it tests to see
if the callback changed since the code was disabled, and will
tell the arch to update appropriately. Most archs do not need this
notification, but PowerPC does.
The problem could be seen by the following commands:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
# echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
The trace will show that function tracing was not active.

When ftrace is enabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if
ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the
FTRACE_START_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code(). Similarly, when
ftrace is disabled globally through the proc interface, we must check if
ftrace_graph_active is set. If it is set, then we should also pass the
FTRACE_STOP_FUNC_RET command to ftrace_run_update_code().
Consider the following situation.
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
After this ftrace_enabled = 0.
# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
Since ftrace_enabled = 0, ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is never
called.
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
Now ftrace_enabled will be set to true, but still
ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() will not be called, which is not
desired.
Further if we execute the following after this:
# echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
Now since ftrace_enabled is set it will call
ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller(), which causes a kernel warning on
the ARM platform.
On the ARM platform, when ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() is called,
it checks whether the old instruction is a nop or not. If it's not a nop,
then it returns an error. If it is a nop then it replaces instruction at
that address with a branch to ftrace_graph_caller.
ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() behaves just the opposite. Therefore,
if generic ftrace code ever calls either ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller()
or ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() consecutively two times in a row,
then it will return an error, which will cause the generic ftrace code to
raise a warning.
Note, x86 does not have an issue with this because the architecture
specific code for ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller() and
ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller() does not check the previous state,
and calling either of these functions twice in a row has no ill effect.

When /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all function
tracing is disabled. But the records that represent the functions
still hold information about the ftrace_ops that are hooked to them.
ftrace_ops may request "REGS" (have a full set of pt_regs passed to
the callback), or "TRAMP" (the ops has its own trampoline to use).
When the record is updated to represent the state of the ops hooked
to it, it sets "REGS_EN" and/or "TRAMP_EN" to state that the callback
points to the correct trampoline (REGS has its own trampoline).
When ftrace_enabled is set to zero, all ftrace locations are a nop,
so they do not point to any trampoline. But the _EN flags are still
set. This can cause the accounting to go wrong when ftrace_enabled
is cleared and an ops that has a trampoline is registered or unregistered.
For example, the following will cause ftrace to crash:
# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
# echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
# echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
As function_graph uses a trampoline, when ftrace_enabled is set to zero
the updates to the record are not done. When enabling function_graph
again, the record will still have the TRAMP_EN flag set, and it will
look for an op that has a trampoline other than the function_graph
ops, and fail to find one.

debugfs was fine for the tracing facility as a quick way to get
an interface. Now that tracing has matured, it should separate itself
from debugfs such that it can be mounted separately without needing
to mount all of debugfs with it. That is, users resist using tracing
because it requires mounting debugfs. Having tracing have its own file
system lets users get the features of tracing without needing to bring
in the rest of the kernel's debug infrastructure.
Another reason for tracefs is that debubfs does not support mkdir.
Currently, to create instances, one does a mkdir in the tracing/instance
directory. This is implemented via a hack that forces debugfs to do
something it is not intended on doing. By converting over to tracefs, this
hack can be removed and mkdir can be properly implemented. This patch does
not address this yet, but it lays the ground work for that to be done.

This will let tracefs automount itself on top of debugfs/tracing directory.
tracing_init_dentry() will soon return NULL as a valid pointer for the
top level tracing directroy. NULL can not be used as an error value.
Instead, switch to ERR_PTR() and check the return status with

Using just the filter for checking for trampolines or regs is not enough
when updating the code against the records that represent all functions.
Both the filter hash and the notrace hash need to be checked.
To trigger this bug (using trace-cmd and perf):
# perf probe -a do_fork
# trace-cmd start -B foo -e probe
# trace-cmd record -p function_graph -n do_fork sleep 1
The trace-cmd record at the end clears the filter before it disables
function_graph tracing and then that causes the accounting of the
ftrace function records to become incorrect and causes ftrace to bug.

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
As the set_ftrace_filter affects both the function tracer as well as the
function graph tracer, the ops that represent each have a shared
ftrace_ops_hash structure. This allows both to be updated when the filter
files are updated.
But if function graph is enabled and the global_ops (function tracing) ops
is not, then it is possible that the filter could be changed without the
update happening for the function graph ops. This will cause the changes
to not take place and may even cause a ftrace_bug to occur as it could mess
with the trampoline accounting.
The solution is to check if the ops uses the shared global_ops filter and
if the ops itself is not enabled, to check if there's another ops that is
enabled and also shares the global_ops filter. In that case, the
modification still needs to be executed.

function entry, one of them will be broken. So they must add
IPMODIFY flag and make sure that ftrace_set_filter_ip() succeeds.
Note that ftrace doesn't allow ftrace_ops which has IPMODIFY
flag to have notrace hash, and the ftrace_ops must have a
filter hash (so that the ftrace_ops can hook only specific
entries), because it strongly depends on the address and
must be allowed for only few selected functions.

Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address
on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address
kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true
if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls
is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs
to module code.
But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines.
These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that
call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a
stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they
are neither core kernel code nor module address space.
Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of
the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called
is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a
dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines
that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with
the core_kernel_text() function.

With the new logic, if only a single user of ftrace function hooks is
used, it will get its own trampoline assigned to it.
The problem is that the control_ops is an indirect ops that perf ops
uses. What that means is that when perf registers its ops with
register_ftrace_function(), it has the CONTROL flag set and gets added
to the control list instead of the global ftrace list. The control_ops
gets added to that instead and the mcount trampoline calls the control_ops
function. The control_ops function will iterate the control list and
call the ops functions that are attached to it.
But currently the trampoline is added to the perf ops and not the
control ops, and when ftrace tries to find a trampoline hook for it,
it fails to find one and gives the following splat:

With the introduction of the dynamic trampolines, it is useful that if
things go wrong that ftrace_bug() produces more information about what
the current state is. This can help debug issues that may arise.
Ftrace has lots of checks to make sure that the state of the system it
touchs is exactly what it expects it to be. When it detects an abnormality
it calls ftrace_bug() and disables itself to prevent any further damage.
It is crucial that ftrace_bug() produces sufficient information that
can be used to debug the situation.

When the static ftrace_ops (like function tracer) enables tracing, and it
is the only callback that is referencing a function, a trampoline is
dynamically allocated to the function that calls the callback directly
instead of calling a loop function that iterates over all the registered
ftrace ops (if more than one ops is registered).
But when it comes to dynamically allocated ftrace_ops, where they may be
freed, on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel there's no way to know when it is safe
to free the trampoline. If a task was preempted while executing on the
trampoline, there's currently no way to know when it will be off that
trampoline.
But this is not true when it comes to !CONFIG_PREEMPT. The current method
of calling schedule_on_each_cpu() will force tasks off the trampoline,
becaues they can not schedule while on it (kernel preemption is not
configured). That means it is safe to free a dynamically allocated
ftrace ops trampoline when CONFIG_PREEMPT is not configured.

The current method of handling multiple function callbacks is to register
a list function callback that calls all the other callbacks based on
their hash tables and compare it to the function that the callback was
called on. But this is very inefficient.
For example, if you are tracing all functions in the kernel and then
add a kprobe to a function such that the kprobe uses ftrace, the
mcount trampoline will switch from calling the function trace callback
to calling the list callback that will iterate over all registered
ftrace_ops (in this case, the function tracer and the kprobes callback).
That means for every function being traced it checks the hash of the
ftrace_ops for function tracing and kprobes, even though the kprobes
is only set at a single function. The kprobes ftrace_ops is checked
for every function being traced!
Instead of calling the list function for functions that are only being
traced by a single callback, we can call a dynamically allocated
trampoline that calls the callback directly. The function graph tracer
already uses a direct call trampoline when it is being traced by itself
but it is not dynamically allocated. It's trampoline is static in the
kernel core. The infrastructure that called the function graph trampoline
can also be used to call a dynamically allocated one.
For now, only ftrace_ops that are not dynamically allocated can have
a trampoline. That is, users such as function tracer or stack tracer.
kprobes and perf allocate their ftrace_ops, and until there's a safe
way to free the trampoline, it can not be used. The dynamically allocated
ftrace_ops may, although, use the trampoline if the kernel is not
compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT. But that will come later.

When modifying code, ftrace has several checks to make sure things
are being done correctly. One of them is to make sure any code it
modifies is exactly what it expects it to be before it modifies it.
In order to do so with the new trampoline logic, it must be able
to find out what trampoline a function is hooked to in order to
see if the code that hooks to it is what's expected.
The logic to find the trampoline from a record (accounting descriptor
for a function that is hooked) needs to only look at the "old_hash"
of an ops that is being modified. The old_hash is the list of function
an ops is hooked to before its update. Since a record would only be
pointing to an ops that is being modified if it was already hooked
before.
Currently, it can pick a modified ops based on its new functions it
will be hooked to, and this picks the wrong trampoline and causes
the check to fail, disabling ftrace.

ftrace: squash into ordering of ops for modification
The code that checks for trampolines when modifying function hooks
tests against a modified ops "old_hash". But the ops old_hash pointer
is not being updated before the changes are made, making it possible
to not find the right hash to the callback and possibly causing
ftrace to break in accounting and disable itself.
Have the ops set its old_hash before the modifying takes place.

Allowing function callbacks to declare their own trampolines requires
that each ftrace_ops that has a trampoline must have some sort of
accounting that keeps track of which ops has a trampoline attached
to a record.
The easy way to solve this was to add a "tramp_hash" that created a
hash entry for every function that a ops uses with a trampoline.
But since we can have literally tens of thousands of functions being
traced, that means we need tens of thousands of descriptors to map
the ops to the function in the hash. This is quite expensive and
can cause enabling and disabling the function graph tracer to take
some time to start and stop. It can take up to several seconds to
disable or enable all functions in the function graph tracer for this
reason.
The better approach albeit more complex, is to keep track of how ops
are being enabled and disabled, and use that along with the counting
of the number of ops attached to records, to determive what ops has
a trampoline attached to a record at enabling and disabling of
tracing.
To do this, the tramp_hash has been replaced with an old_filter_hash
and old_notrace_hash, which get the copy of the ops filter_hash and
notrace_hash respectively. The old hashes is kept until the ops has
been modified or removed and the old hashes are used with the logic
of the accounting to determine the ops that have the trampoline of
a record. The reason this has less of a footprint is due to the trick
that an "empty" hash in the filter_hash means "all functions" and
an empty hash in the notrace hash means "no functions" in the hash.
This is much more efficienct, doesn't have the delay, and takes up
much less memory, as we do not need to map all the functions but
just figure out which functions are mapped at the time it is
enabled or disabled.

Add three new flags for ftrace_ops:
FTRACE_OPS_FL_ADDING
FTRACE_OPS_FL_REMOVING
FTRACE_OPS_FL_MODIFYING
These will be set for the ftrace_ops when they are first added
to the function tracing, being removed from function tracing
or just having their functions changed from function tracing,
respectively.
This will be needed to remove the tramp_hash, which can grow quite
big. The tramp_hash is used to note what functions a ftrace_ops
is using a trampoline for. Denoting which ftrace_ops is being
modified, will allow us to use the ftrace_ops hashes themselves,
which are much smaller as they have a global flag to denote if
a ftrace_ops is tracing all functions, as well as a notrace hash
if the ftrace_ops is tracing all but a few. The tramp_hash just
creates a hash item for every function, which can go into the 10s
of thousands if all functions are using the ftrace_ops trampoline.

The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of
the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them
share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing
the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func
would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that
were registered within it (like function and function graph), which
itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions
currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented
it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing.
The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function
and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time.
This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the
function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile.
The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function
tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace
will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not
cause a kernel oops).
To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables
for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let
multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function
and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still
share the hash, which is what is done.
Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops
again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile
is active.

Now that a ftrace_hash can be shared by multiple ftrace_ops, they can dec
the rec->flags by more than once (one per those that share the ftrace_hash).
This means that the tramp_hash may not have a hash item when it was added.
For example, if two ftrace_ops share a hash for a ftrace record, and the
first ops has a trampoline, when it adds itself it will set the rec->flags
TRAMP flag and increments its nr_trampolines counter. When the second ops
is added, it must clear that tramp flag but also decrement the other ops
that shares its hash. As the update to the function callbacks has not yet
been performed, the other ops will not have the tramp hash set yet and it
can not be used to know to decrement its nr_trampolines.
Luckily, the tramp_hash does not need to be used. As the ftrace_mutex is
held, a ops with a trampoline to a record during an update of another ops
that shares the record will have its func_hash pointing to it. Since a
trampoline can only be set for a record if only one ops is attached to it,
we can just check if the record has a trampoline (the FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag
is set) and then find the ops that has this record in its hashes.
Also added some output to help debug when things go wrong.

Currently the top level debug file system function tracer shares its
ftrace_ops with the function graph tracer. This was thought to be fine
because the tracers are not used together, as one can only enable
function or function_graph tracer in the current_tracer file.
But that assumption proved to be incorrect. The function profiler
can use the function graph tracer when function tracing is enabled.
Since all function graph users uses the function tracing ftrace_ops
this causes a conflict and when a user enables both function profiling
as well as the function tracer it will crash ftrace and disable it.
The quick solution so far is to move them as separate ftrace_ops like
it was earlier. The problem though is to synchronize the functions that
are traced because both function and function_graph tracer are limited
by the selections made in the set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace
files.
To handle this, a new structure is made called ftrace_ops_hash. This
structure will now hold the filter_hash and notrace_hash, and the
ftrace_ops will point to this structure. That will allow two ftrace_ops
to share the same hashes.
Since most ftrace_ops do not share the hashes, and to keep allocation
simple, the ftrace_ops structure will include both a pointer to the
ftrace_ops_hash called func_hash, as well as the structure itself,
called local_hash. When the ops are registered, the func_hash pointer
will be initialized to point to the local_hash within the ftrace_ops
structure. Some of the ftrace internal ftrace_ops will be initialized
statically. This will allow for the function and function_graph tracer
to have separate ops but still share the same hash tables that determine
what functions they trace.

to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a
way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines
instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always
had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called
and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline
was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer
trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by
the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on
the same function, the old way is still done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing
is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses.
I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet
for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that
were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when
entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done
because there was some function that would crash the system if one called
smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big hammer to solve the issue
at the time, which was when ftrace was first introduced into Linux.
Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug such issues, and I found
the problem function and labeled it with "notrace" and function tracing
can now safely be activated all the way down into the guts of suspend
and resume.
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code.
Clean up of the trace_seq() code.
And other various small fixes and clean ups to ftrace and tracing.

Merge tag 'trace-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"This pull request has a lot of work done. The main thing is the
changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's
introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly
different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one.
The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which
always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline
was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph
tracer trampoline was called. The difference now, is that the
function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function
is only being traced by the function graph trampoline. If function
tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still
done.
The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph
tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it
uses. I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not
ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next
one.
Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls
that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function
tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of
ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the
system if one called smp_processor_id()! The stop/start was a big
hammer to solve the issue at the time, which was when ftrace was first
introduced into Linux. Now ftrace has better infrastructure to debug
such issues, and I found the problem function and labeled it with
"notrace" and function tracing can now safely be activated all the way
down into the guts of suspend and resume
Other changes include clean ups of uprobe code, clean up of the
trace_seq() code, and other various small fixes and clean ups to
ftrace and tracing"

In the loop of ftrace_save_ops_tramp_hash(), it adds all the recs
to the ops hash if the rec has only one callback attached and the
ops is connected to the rec. It gives a nasty warning and shuts down
ftrace if the rec doesn't have a trampoline set for it. But this
can happen with the following scenario:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo schedule do_IRQ > set_ftrace_filter
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo schedule > instances/foo/set_ftrace_filter
# echo function_graph > current_function
# echo function > instances/foo/current_function
# echo nop > instances/foo/current_function
The above would then trigger the following warning and disable
ftrace:

Do not waste time copying the old hash if the hash is going to be

ftrace_stop() is going away as it disables parts of function tracing
that affects users that should not be affected. But ftrace_graph_stop()
is built on ftrace_stop(). Here's another example of killing all of
function tracing because something went wrong with function graph
tracing.
Instead of disabling all users of function tracing on function graph
error, disable only function graph tracing.
A new function is created called ftrace_graph_is_dead(). This is called
in strategic paths to prevent function graph from doing more harm and
allowing at least a warning to be printed before the system crashes.
NOTE: ftrace_stop() is still used until all the archs are converted over
to use ftrace_graph_is_dead(). After that, ftrace_stop() will be removed.

Currently if an arch supports function graph tracing, the core code will
just assign the function graph trampoline to the function graph addr that
gets called.
But as the old method for function graph tracing always calls the function
trampoline first and that calls the function graph trampoline, some
archs may have the function graph trampoline dependent on operations that
were done in the function trampoline. This causes function graph tracer
to break on those archs.
Instead of having the default be to set the function graph ftrace_ops
to the function graph trampoline, have it instead just set it to zero
which will keep it from jumping to a trampoline that is not set up
to be jumped directly too.

Running my ftrace tests on PowerPC, it failed the test that checks
if function_graph tracer is affected by the stack tracer. It was.
Looking into this, I found that the update_function_graph_func()
must be called even if the trampoline function is not changed.
This is because archs like PowerPC do not support ftrace_ops being
passed by assembly and instead uses a helper function (what the
trampoline function points to). Since this function is not changed
even when multiple ftrace_ops are added to the code, the test that
falls out before calling update_function_graph_func() will miss that
the update must still be done.
Call update_function_graph_function() for all calls to
update_ftrace_function()

Function graph tracing is a bit different than the function tracers, as
it is processed after either the ftrace_caller or ftrace_regs_caller
and we only have one place to modify the jump to ftrace_graph_caller,
the jump needs to happen after the restore of registeres.
The function graph tracer is dependent on the function tracer, where
even if the function graph tracing is going on by itself, the save and
restore of registers is still done for function tracing regardless of
if function tracing is happening, before it calls the function graph
code.
If there's no function tracing happening, it is possible to just call
the function graph tracer directly, and avoid the wasted effort to save
and restore regs for function tracing.
This requires adding new flags to the dyn_ftrace records:
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP_EN
The first is set if the count for the record is one, and the ftrace_ops
associated to that record has its own trampoline. That way the mcount code
can call that trampoline directly.
In the future, trampolines can be added to arbitrary ftrace_ops, where you
can have two or more ftrace_ops registered to ftrace (like kprobes and perf)
and if they are not tracing the same functions, then instead of doing a
loop to check all registered ftrace_ops against their hashes, just call the
ftrace_ops trampoline directly, which would call the registered ftrace_ops
function directly.
Without this patch perf showed:
0.05% hackbench [kernel.kallsyms] [k] ftrace_caller

See that the ftrace_caller took up more time than the ftrace_graph_caller
did.

When registering a function callback for the function tracer, the ops
can specify if it wants to save full regs (like an interrupt would)
for each function that it traces, or if it does not care about regs
and just wants to have the fastest return possible.
Once a ops has registered a function, if other ops register that
function they all will receive the regs too. That's because it does
the work once, it does it for everyone.
Now if the ops wanting regs unregisters the function so that there's
only ops left that do not care about regs, those ops will still
continue getting regs and going through the work for it on that
function. This is because the disabling of the rec counter only
sees the ops registered, and does not see the ops that are still
attached, and does not know if the current ops that are still attached
want regs or not. To play it safe, it just keeps regs being processed
until no function is registered anymore.
Instead of doing that, check the ops that are still registered for that
function and if none want regs for it anymore, then disable the
processing of regs.

The big change for this release is the allowing of other tracers,

for function or function graph tracing to be in the top level
simultaneously.
