commit fe60522ec60082a1dd735691b82c64f65d4ad15e upstream. The function_graph_enter() function does the work of calling the function graph hook function and the management of the shadow stack, simplifying the work done in the architecture dependent prepare_ftrace_return(). Have powerpc use the new code, and remove the shadow stack management as well as having to set up the trace structure. This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack is used.

With -mprofile-kernel, we always save the full register state in ftrace_caller(). While this works, this is inefficient if we're not interested in the register state, such as when we're using the function tracer. Rename the existing ftrace_caller() as ftrace_regs_caller() and provide a simpler implementation for ftrace_caller() that is used when registers are not required to be saved.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

There is no need to worry about module and __init text disappearing case, because that ftrace has a module notifier that is called when a module is being unloaded and before the text goes away and this code grabs the ftrace_lock mutex and removes the module functions from the ftrace list, such that it will no longer do any modifications to that module's text, the update to make functions be traced or not is done under the ftrace_lock mutex as well. And by now, __init section codes should not been modified by ftrace, because it is black listed in recordmcount.c and ignored by ftrace.

Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync with the function graph tracer ret_stack. Now instead of needing a stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find the right ret_stack entry. Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every task. So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400 bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or 64-bit platform).

In __ftrace_make_nop() (the 64-bit version), we have code to deal with two ftrace ABIs. There is the original ABI, which looks mostly like a function call, and then the mprofile-kernel ABI which is just a branch. The code tries to handle both cases, by looking for the presence of a load to restore the TOC pointer (PPC_INST_LD_TOC). If we detect the TOC load, we assume the call site is for an mcount() call using the old ABI. That means we patch the mcount() call with a b +8, to branch over the TOC load. However if the kernel was built with mprofile-kernel, then there will never be a call site using the original ftrace ABI. If for some reason we do see a TOC load, then it's there for a good reason, and we should not jump over it. So split the code, using the existing CC_USING_MPROFILE_KERNEL. Kernels built with mprofile-kernel will only look for, and expect, the new ABI, and similarly for the original ABI. Signed-off-by: NMichael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>

We're approaching 20 locations where we need to check for ELF ABI v2. That's fine, except the logic is a bit awkward, because we have to check that _CALL_ELF is defined and then what its value is. So check it once in asm/types.h and define PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 when ELF ABI v2 is detected. We also have a few places where what we're really trying to check is that we are using the 64-bit v1 ABI, ie. function descriptors. So also add a #define for that, which simplifies several checks.

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.

The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel defines a new ABI for calling _mcount() very early in the function with minimal overhead. Although mprofile-kernel has been available since GCC 3.4, there were bugs which were only fixed recently. Currently it is known to work in GCC 4.9, 5 and 6. Additionally there are two possible code sequences generated by the flag, the first uses mflr/std/bl and the second is optimised to omit the std. Currently only gcc 6 has the optimised sequence. This patch supports both sequences. Initial work started by Vojtech Pavlik, used with permission. Key changes: - rework _mcount() to work for both the old and new ABIs. - implement new versions of ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller() which deal with the new ABI. - updates to __ftrace_make_nop() to recognise the new mcount calling sequence. - updates to __ftrace_make_call() to recognise the nop'ed sequence. - implement ftrace_modify_call(). - updates to the module loader to surpress the toc save in the module stub when calling mcount with the new ABI.

When a module is loaded, calls out to the kernel go via a stub which is generated at runtime. One of these stubs is used to call _mcount(), which is the default target of tracing calls generated by the compiler with -pg. If dynamic ftrace is enabled (which it typically is), another stub is used to call ftrace_caller(), which is the target of tracing calls when ftrace is actually active. ftrace then wants to disable the calls to _mcount() at module startup, and enable/disable the calls to ftrace_caller() when enabling/disabling tracing - all of these it does by patching the code. As part of that code patching, the ftrace code wants to confirm that the branch it is about to modify, is in fact a call to a module stub which calls _mcount() or ftrace_caller(). Currently it does that by inspecting the instructions and confirming they are what it expects. Although that works, the code to do it is pretty intricate because it requires lots of knowledge about the exact format of the stub. We can make that process easier by marking the generated stubs with a magic value, and then looking for that magic value. Altough this is not as rigorous as the current method, I believe it is sufficient in practice.

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.

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. To do this, the arch code must call ftrace_graph_is_dead() before it implements function graph.

No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against zero. Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init. So it is enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on all archs.

The patch_instruction() interface is made to modify kernel text. It is safer to use that then the probe_kernel_write() when modifying kernel code. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

PowerPC does not have the synchronization issues that x86 has with modifying code on one CPU while another CPU is executing it. The other CPU will either see the old or new code without any issues, unlike x86 which may issue a GPF. Instead of calling the heavy stop_machine, just update the code.

This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports them for ftrace syscalls to use. To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the _TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing is enabled. In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that start with a period.

In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return from function code, we would like to detect that. An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes. The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had to be flagged as an "early clobber". I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.
