In preparation to allowing trace events to happen in modules, we need to move some of the local declarations in the kernel/trace directory into include/linux. This patch simply moves the declarations and performs no context changes. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

In the process to make TRACE_EVENT macro work for modules, the trace_seq operations must be available for core kernel code. These operations are quite useful and can be used for other implementations. The main idea is that we create a trace_seq handle that acts very much like the seq_file handle. struct trace_seq *s = kmalloc(sizeof(*s, GFP_KERNEL); trace_seq_init(s); trace_seq_printf(s, "some data %d\n", variable); printk("%s", s->buffer); The main use is to allow a top level function call several other functions that may store printf like data into the buffer. Then at the end, the top level function can process all the data with any method it would like to. It could be passed to userspace, output via printk or even use seq_file: trace_seq_to_user(s, ubuf, cnt); seq_puts(m, s->buffer); Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

This patch lowers the number of places a developer must modify to add new tracepoints. The current method to add a new tracepoint into an existing system is to write the trace point macro in the trace header with one of the macros TRACE_EVENT, TRACE_FORMAT or DECLARE_TRACE, then they must add the same named item into the C file with the macro DEFINE_TRACE(name) and then add the trace point. This change cuts out the needing to add the DEFINE_TRACE(name). Every file that uses the tracepoint must still include the trace/<type>.h file, but the one C file must also add a define before the including of that file. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include <trace/mytrace.h> This will cause the trace/mytrace.h file to also produce the C code necessary to implement the trace point. Note, if more than one trace/<type>.h is used to create the C code it is best to list them all together. #define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS #include <trace/foo.h> #include <trace/bar.h> #include <trace/fido.h> Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers and Christoph Hellwig for coming up with the cleaner solution of the define above the includes over my first design to have the C code include a "special" header. This patch converts sched, irq and lockdep and skb to use this new method.

Impact: clean up Neil Horman (et. al.) criticized the way the trace events were broken up into two files. The reason for that was that ftrace needed to separate out the declarations from where the #include <linux/tracepoint.h> was used. It then dawned on me that the tracepoint.h header only needs to define the TRACE_EVENT macro if it is not already defined. The solution is simply to test if TRACE_EVENT is defined, and if it is not then the linux/tracepoint.h header can define it. This change consolidates all the <traces>.h and <traces>_event_types.h into the <traces>.h file.

This patch allows event filters to be safely removed or switched on-the-fly while avoiding the use of rcu or the suspension of tracing of previous versions. It does it by adding a new filter_pred_none() predicate function which does nothing and by never deallocating either the predicates or any of the filter_pred members used in matching; the predicate lists are allocated and initialized during ftrace_event_calls initialization. Whenever a filter is removed or replaced, the filter_pred_* functions currently in use by the affected ftrace_event_call are immediately switched over to to the filter_pred_none() function, while the rest of the filter_pred members are left intact, allowing any currently executing filter_pred_* functions to finish up, using the values they're currently using. In the case of filter replacement, the new predicate values are copied into the old predicates after the above step, and the filter_pred_none() functions are replaced by the filter_pred_* functions for the new filter. In this case, it is possible though very unlikely that a previous filter_pred_* is still running even after the filter_pred_none() switch and the switch to the new filter_pred_*. In that case, however, because nothing has been deallocated in the filter_pred, the worst that can happen is that the old filter_pred_* function sees the new values and as a result produces either a false positive or a false negative, depending on the values it finds. So one downside to this method is that rarely, it can produce a bad match during the filter switch, but it should be possible to live with that, IMHO. The other downside is that at least in this patch the predicate lists are always pre-allocated, taking up memory from the start. They could probably be allocated on first-use, and de-allocated when tracing is completely stopped - if this patch makes sense, I could create another one to do that later on. Oh, and it also places a restriction on the size of __arrays in events, currently set to 128, since they can't be larger than the now embedded str_val arrays in the filter_pred struct.

Add a new config option, CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING that gets selected when CONFIG_TRACING is selected and adds everything needed by the stuff in trace_export - basically all the event tracing support needed by e.g. bprint, minus the actual events, which are only included if CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER is selected. So CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER can be used to turn on or off the generated events (what I think of as the 'event tracer'), while CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING turns on or off the base event tracing support used by both the event tracer and the other things such as bprint that can't be configured out.

The ring_buffer_discard_commit is similar to ring_buffer_event_discard but it can only be done on an event that has yet to be commited. Unpredictable results can happen otherwise. The main difference between ring_buffer_discard_commit and ring_buffer_event_discard is that ring_buffer_discard_commit will try to free the data in the ring buffer if nothing has addded data after the reserved event. If something did, then it acts almost the same as ring_buffer_event_discard followed by a ring_buffer_unlock_commit. Note, either ring_buffer_commit_discard and ring_buffer_unlock_commit can be called on an event, not both. This commit also exports both discard functions to be usable by GPL modules.

This patch adds run-time field descriptions to all the event formats exported using TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT. It also hooks up all the tracers that use them (i.e. the tracers in the 'ftrace subsystem') so they can also have their output filtered by the event-filtering mechanism. When I was testing this, there were a couple of things that fooled me into thinking the filters weren't working, when actually they were - I'll mention them here so others don't make the same mistakes (and file bug reports. ;-) One is that some of the tracers trace multiple events e.g. the sched_switch tracer uses the context_switch and wakeup events, and if you don't set filters on all of the traced events, the unfiltered output from the events without filters on them can make it look like the filtering as a whole isn't working properly, when actually it is doing what it was asked to do - it just wasn't asked to do the right thing. The other is that for the really high-volume tracers e.g. the function tracer, the volume of filtered events can be so high that it pushes the unfiltered events out of the ring buffer before they can be read so e.g. cat'ing the trace file repeatedly shows either no output, or once in awhile some output but that isn't there the next time you read the trace, which isn't what you normally expect when reading the trace file. If you read from the trace_pipe file though, you can catch them before they disappear.

Impact: broaden lockdep checks Lockdep is disabled after any kernel taints. This might be convenient to ignore bad locking issues which sources come from outside the kernel tree. Nevertheless, it might be a frustrating experience for the staging developers or those who experience a warning but are focused on another things that require lockdep. The v2 of this patch simply don't disable anymore lockdep in case of TAINT_CRAP and TAINT_WARN events.

Impact: provide useful missing info for developers Kernel taint can occur in several situations such as warnings, load of prorietary or staging modules, bad page, etc... But when such taint happens, a developer might still be working on the kernel, expecting that lockdep is still enabled. But a taint disables lockdep without ever warning about it. Such a kernel behaviour doesn't really help for kernel development. This patch adds this missing warning. Since the taint is done most of the time after the main message that explain the real source issue, it seems safe to warn about it inside add_taint() so that it appears at last, without hurting the main information. v2: Use a generic helper to disable lockdep instead of an open coded xchg().

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
Several drivers use asynchronous work to do device discovery, and we synchronize with them in the compiled-in case before we actually try to mount root filesystems etc. However, when compiled as modules, that synchronization is missing - the module loading completes, but the driver hasn't actually finished probing for devices, and that means that any user mode that expects to use the devices after the 'insmod' is now potentially broken. We already saw one case of a similar issue in the ACPI battery code, where the kernel itself expected the module to be all done, and unmapped the init memory - but the async device discovery was still running. That got hacked around by just removing the "__init" (see commit 5d38258e "ACPI battery: fix async boot oops"), but the real fix is to just make the module loading wait for all async work to be completed. It will slow down module loading, but since common devices should be built in anyway, and since the bug is really annoying and hard to handle from user space (and caused several S3 resume regressions), the simple fix to wait is the right one. This fixes at least http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13063 but probably a few other bugzilla entries too (12936, for example), and is confirmed to fix Rafael's storage driver breakage after resume bug report (no bugzilla entry). We should also be able to now revert that ACPI battery fix. Reported-and-tested-by: NRafael J.

Impact: disable pread() We set tracing_buffers_fops.llseek to no_llseek, but we can still perform pread() to read this file. That is not expected. This fix uses nonseekable_open() to disable it. tracing_buffers_fops.llseek is still set to no_llseek, it mark this file is a "non-seekable device" and is used by sys_splice(). See also do_splice() or manual of splice(2): ERRORS EINVAL Target file system doesn't support splicing; neither of the descriptors refers to a pipe; or offset given for non-seekable device.

Impact: performance regression fix for s390 The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled away by the hypervisor. We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by the hypervisor. For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390. We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure out if the target cpu is physically backed. However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file, especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher level headers. Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

Impact: circular locking bugfix The various implemetnations and proposed implemetnations of work_on_cpu() are vulnerable to various deadlocks because they all used queues of some form. Unrelated pieces of kernel code thus gained dependencies wherein if one work_on_cpu() caller holds a lock which some other work_on_cpu() callback also takes, the kernel could rarely deadlock. Fix this by creating a short-lived kernel thread for each work_on_cpu() invokation. This is not terribly fast, but the only current caller of work_on_cpu() is pci_call_probe(). It would be nice to find some other way of doing the node-local allocations in the PCI probe code so that we can zap work_on_cpu() altogether. The code there is rather nasty. I can't think of anything simple at this time... Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

update_rlimit_cpu() tries to optimize out set_process_cpu_timer() in case when we already have CPUCLOCK_PROF timer which should expire first. But it uses cputime_lt() instead of cputime_gt(). Test case: int main(void) { struct itimerval it = { .it_value = { .tv_sec = 1000 }, }; assert(!setitimer(ITIMER_PROF, &it, NULL)); struct rlimit rl = { .rlim_cur = 1, .rlim_max = 1, }; assert(!setrlimit(RLIMIT_CPU, &rl)); for (;;) ; return 0; } Without this patch, the task is not killed as RLIMIT_CPU demands.

See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12911 copy_signal() copies signal->rlim, but RLIMIT_CPU is "lost". Because posix_cpu_timers_init_group() sets cputime_expires.prof_exp = 0 and thus fastpath_timer_check() returns false unless we have other expired cpu timers. Change copy_signal() to set cputime_expires.prof_exp if we have RLIMIT_CPU. Also, set cputimer.running = 1 in that case. This is not strictly necessary, but imho makes sense.

Add disable_kprobe() and enable_kprobe() to disable/enable kprobes temporarily. disable_kprobe() asynchronously disables probe handlers of specified kprobe. So, after calling it, some handlers can be called at a while. enable_kprobe() enables specified kprobe. aggr_pre_handler and aggr_post_handler check disabled probes. On the other hand aggr_break_handler and aggr_fault_handler don't check it because these handlers will be called while executing pre or post handlers and usually those help error handling.
