No users of the function probes uses the data field anymore. Remove it, and
change the init function to take a void *data parameter instead of a
void **data, because the init will just get the data that the registering
function was received, and there's no state after it is called.

The other functions for ftrace_probe_ops still take the data parameter, but
it will currently only be passed NULL. It will stay as a parameter for
future data to be passed to these functions.

In order to move the ops to the function probes directly, they need a way to
map function ips to their own data without depending on the infrastructure
of the function probes, as the data field will be going away.

New helper functions are added that are based on the ftrace_hash code.
ftrace_func_mapper functions are there to let the probes map ips to their

The set_ftrace_file lists both functions that are filtered, as well as
function probes (triggers) that are attached to a function, like traceon or
stacktrace, etc. The reading of this file is not as trivial as most pseudo
files are, and there's been various bugs that have appeared in the past
when there's a mix of probes and functions listed. There's also a difference
when reading the file using dd with a block size of 1.

This test performs the following:

 o Resets set_ftrace_filter

 o Makes sure only "#### all functions enabled ####" is listed

    (All checks uses cat, and dd with bs=1 and bs=100)

 o Adds a traceon trigger to schedule

 o Checks if only "#### all function enabled ####" and the trigger is there.

 o Adds tracing of schedule

 o Checks if only schedule and the trigger is there

 o Adds tracing of do_IRQ as well

 o Checks if only schedule, do_IRQ and the trigger is there

 o Adds a traceon trigger to do_IRQ

 o Checks if only schedule, do_IRQ and both triggers are there

 o Removes tracing of do_IRQ

 o Checks if only schedule and both triggers are there

 o Removes tracing of schedule

 o Checks if only  "#### all functions enabled ####" and both triggers are there

 o Removes the triggers

 o Checks if only "#### all functions enabled ####" is there

Just writing into the set_ftrace_filter file does not reset triggers, even
though it can reset the function list. Triggers require writing the trigger
name with a "!" prepended. It's worse that it requires the number if the
trigger has a count associated to it.

Add a reset_ftrace_filter function to the ftrace self tests to allow for the
tests to have a generic way to clear them. It also resets any functions that
are listed in that file as well.

t_hash_start() does not increment *pos, where as t_next() must. But when

t_hash_start() otherwise it will skip the first instance:

 # echo call_rcu > set_ftrace_filter
 # cat set_ftrace_filter

 # echo xfrm_policy_destroy_rcu >> set_ftrace_filter
 # cat set_ftrace_filter

When two function probes are added to set_ftrace_filter, and then one of
them is removed, the update to the function locations is not performed, and
the record keeping of the function states are corrupted, and causes an

This is easily reproducable by adding two probes, removing one, and then
adding it back again.

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

Stack tracing discovered that there's a small location inside the RCU
infrastructure where calling rcu_irq_enter() does not work. As trace events
use rcu_irq_enter() it must make sure that it is functionable. A check
against rcu_irq_enter_disabled() is added with a WARN_ON_ONCE() as no trace
event should ever be used in that part of RCU. If the warning is triggered,
then the trace event is ignored.

Restructure the __DO_TRACE() a bit to get rid of the prercu and postrcu,
and just have an rcucheck that does the work from within the _DO_TRACE()
macro. gcc optimization will compile out the rcucheck=0 case.

Tracing uses rcu_irq_enter() as a way to make sure that RCU is watching when
it needs to use rcu_read_lock() and friends. This is because tracing can
happen as RCU is about to enter user space, or about to go idle, and RCU
does not watch for RCU read side critical sections as it makes the
transition.

There is a small location within the RCU infrastructure that rcu_irq_enter()
itself will not work. If tracing were to occur in that section it will break
if it tries to use rcu_irq_enter().

Originally, this happens with the stack_tracer, because it will call
save_stack_trace when it encounters stack usage that is greater than any
stack usage it had encountered previously. There was a case where that
happened in the RCU section where rcu_irq_enter() did not work, and lockdep
complained loudly about it. To fix it, stack tracing added a call to be
disabled and RCU would disable stack tracing during the critical section
that rcu_irq_enter() was inoperable. This solution worked, but there are
other cases that use rcu_irq_enter() and it would be a good idea to let RCU
give a way to let others know that rcu_irq_enter() will not work. For
example, in trace events.

Another helpful aspect of this change is that it also moves the per cpu
variable called in the RCU critical section into a cache locale along with
other RCU per cpu variables used in that same location.

I'm keeping the stack_trace_disable() code, as that still could be used in
the future by places that really need to disable it. And since it's only a
static inline, it wont take up any kernel text if it is not used.

The tracing subsystem started using rcu_irq_entry() and rcu_irq_exit()
(with my blessing) to allow the current _rcuidle alternative tracepoint
name to be dispensed with while still maintaining good performance.
Unfortunately, this causes RCU's dyntick-idle entry code's tracing to
appear to RCU like an interrupt that occurs where RCU is not designed
to handle interrupts.

This commit fixes this problem by moving the zeroing of ->dynticks_nesting
after the offending trace_rcu_dyntick() statement, which narrows the
window of vulnerability to a pair of adjacent statements that are now
marked with comments to that effect.

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.

When a kretprobe is installed on a kernel function, there is a maximum
limit of how many calls in parallel it can catch (aka "maxactive"). A
kernel module could call register_kretprobe() and initialize maxactive
(see example in samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c).

But that is not exposed to userspace and it is currently not possible to
choose maxactive when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

The default maxactive can be as low as 1 on single-core with a
non-preemptive kernel. This is too low and we need to increase it not
only for recursive functions, but for functions that sleep or resched.

This patch updates the format of the command that can be written to
kprobe_events so that maxactive can be optionally specified.

I need this for a bpf program attached to the kretprobe of
inet_csk_accept, which can sleep for a long time.

This patch includes a basic selftest:

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.

If all functions are enabled, there's a comment displayed in the file to
denote that:

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # cat set_ftrace_filter
 #### all functions enabled ####

If a function trigger is set, those are displayed as well:

  # echo schedule:traceoff >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
  # cat set_ftrace_filter
 #### all functions enabled ####
 schedule:traceoff:unlimited

But if you read that file with dd, the output can change:

  # dd if=/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter bs=1
 #### all functions enabled ####
 32+0 records in
 32+0 records out

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.

check if p is NULL and call t_hash_start(), as that would be redundant.

Instead of testing if the hash to use is the filter_hash or the notrace_hash
at each iteration, do the test at open, and set the iter->hash to point to
the corresponding filter or notrace hash. Then use that directly instead of
testing which hash needs to be used each iteration.

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

	iter = __seq_open_private();
	if (iter) {
		/* do stuff */
	}

	return iter ? 0 : -ENOMEM;

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

	iter = __seq_open_private();
	if (!iter)
		return -ENOMEM;

	/* do stuff */

	return 0;

This clean up will make updates to this code a bit nicer.

Moving enabling of function tracing to early boot, even before scheduling is
enabled, means that it is not safe to enable interrupts. When function
tracing was enabled at boot up, it use to happen after scheduling and the
other CPUs were brought up. That required running a sync across all CPUs
when modifying the function hook locations in the code. To do the
synchronization, interrupts had to be enabled. Now function tracing can be
started before the other CPUs are brought up, and enabling interrupts in
that case is dangerous. As only tho boot CPU is active, there is no reason
to run the synchronization. If the online CPU count is one, do not bother
doing the synchronization. This removes the need to enable interrupts.

Currently trace_handle_return() looks like this:

 static inline enum print_line_t trace_handle_return(struct trace_seq *s)
 {
        return trace_seq_has_overflowed(s) ?
                TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE : TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;
 }

Where trace_seq_overflowed(s) is:

 static inline bool trace_seq_has_overflowed(struct trace_seq *s)
 {
	return s->full || seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq);
 }

And seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq) is:

 static inline bool
 seq_buf_has_overflowed(struct seq_buf *s)
 {
	return s->len > s->size;
 }

Making trace_handle_return() into:

 return (s->full || (s->seq->len > s->seq->size)) ?
           TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE :
           TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED;

One would think this is not an issue to keep as an inline. But because this
is used in the TRACE_EVENT() macro, it is extended for every tracepoint in
the system. Taking a look at a single tracepoint x86_irq_vector (was the
first one I randomly chosen). As trace_handle_return is used in the
TRACE_EVENT() macro of trace_raw_output_##call() we disassemble
trace_raw_output_x86_irq_vector and do a diff:

- is the original
+ is the out-of-line code

I removed identical lines that were different just due to different
addresses.

If you notice, the original has 22 bytes of text more than the out of line
version. As this is for every TRACE_EVENT() defined in the system, this can
become quite large.

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
8690305	5450490	1298432	15439227	 eb957b	vmlinux-orig
8681725	5450490	1298432	15430647	 eb73f7	vmlinux-handle

This change has a total of 8580 bytes in savings.

 $ objdump -dr /tmp/vmlinux-orig | grep '^[0-9a-f]* <trace_raw_output' | wc -l
324

That's 324 tracepoints. But this does not include modules (which contain
many more tracepoints). For an allyesconfig build:

 $ objdump -dr vmlinux-allyes-orig | grep '^[0-9a-f]* <trace_raw_output' | wc -l
1401

That's 1401 tracepoints giving us:

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.

Register the function tracer right after the tracing buffers are initialized
in early boot up. This will allow function tracing to begin early if it is
enabled via the kernel command line.

As tracing can now be enabled very early in boot up, even before some
critical system services (like scheduling), do not run the tracer selftests
until after early_initcall() is performed. If a tracer is registered before
such time, it is saved off in a list and the test is run when the system is
able to handle more diverse functions.

Initialize the ftrace records immediately after memory initialization, as
that is all that is required for the records to be created. This will allow
for future work to get function tracing started earlier in the boot process.
