      ftrace: Show all tramps registered to a record on ftrace_bug() · 39daa7b9
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      When an anomaly is detected in the function call modification code,
      ftrace_bug() is called to disable function tracing as well as give any
      information that may help debug the problem. Currently, only the first found
      trampoline that is attached to the failed record is reported. Instead, show
      all trampolines that are hooked to it.
      
      Also, not only show the ops pointer but also report the function it calls.
      
      While at it, add this info to the enabled_functions debug file too.

      ftrace: Add variable ftrace_expected for archs to show expected code · b05086c7
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      When an anomaly is found while modifying function code, ftrace_bug() is
      called which disables the function tracing infrastructure and reports
      information about what failed. If the code that is to be replaced does not
      match what is expected, then actual code is shown. Currently there is no
      arch generic way to show what was expected.
      
      Add a new variable pointer calld ftrace_expected that the arch code can set
      to point to what it expected so that ftrace_bug() can report the actual text
      as well as the text that was expected to be there.

      ftrace: Add new type to distinguish what kind of ftrace_bug() · 02a392a0
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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().

      It uses the same globbing as function filter.
      
        sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:*' > set_ftrace_filter
      
      Will trace any function with the letters 'alloc' in the name in any
      module but not in kernel.
      
        sh# echo '!*alloc*:mod:ipv6' >> set_ftrace_filter
      
      Will prevent from tracing functions with 'alloc' in the name from module
      ipv6 (do not forget to append to set_ftrace_filter file).
      
        sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:!ipv6' > set_ftrace_filter
      
      Will trace functions with 'alloc' in the name from kernel and any
      module except ipv6.
      
        sh# echo '*alloc*:mod:!*' > set_ftrace_filter
      
      Will trace any function with the letters 'alloc' in the name only from
      kernel, but not from any module.
      
        sh# echo '*:mod:!*' > set_ftrace_filter
      or
        sh# echo ':mod:!' > set_ftrace_filter
      
      Will trace every function in the kernel, but will not trace functions
      from any module.
      
        sh# echo '*:mod:*' > set_ftrace_filter
      or
        sh# echo ':mod:' > set_ftrace_filter
      
      As the opposite will trace all functions from all modules, but not from
      kernel.
      
        sh# echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter

      ftrace: Fix ftrace enable ordering of sysctl ftrace_enabled · 524a3868
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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.

      ftrace: Fix en(dis)able graph caller when en(dis)abling record via sysctl · 1619dc3f
      Pratyush Anand 提交于
      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.

      ftrace: Clear REGS_EN and TRAMP_EN flags on disabling record via sysctl · b24d443b
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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.

      tracing: Convert the tracing facility over to use tracefs · 8434dc93
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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.

      ftrace, kprobes: Support IPMODIFY flag to find IP modify conflict · f8b8be8a
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY to avoid conflict among
      ftrace users who may modify regs->ip to change the execution
      path. If two or more users modify the regs->ip on the same
      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.

      ftrace: Have the control_ops get a trampoline · fe578ba3
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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:

      ftrace: Add more information to ftrace_bug() output · 4fd3279b
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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/x86: Allow !CONFIG_PREEMPT dynamic ops to use allocated trampolines · 12cce594
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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.

      ftrace/x86: Add dynamic allocated trampoline for ftrace_ops · f3bea491
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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.

      ftrace: Fix checking of trampoline ftrace_ops in finding trampoline · 4fc40904
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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: Set ops->old_hash on modifying what an ops hooks to · 8252ecf3
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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.

      ftrace: Replace tramp_hash with old_*_hash to save space · fef5aeee
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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.

      ftrace: Annotate the ops operation on update · e1effa01
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      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.

      ftrace: Set callback to ftrace_stub when no ops are registered · f7aad4e1
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      The clean up that adds the helper function ftrace_ops_get_func()
      caused the default function to not change when DYNAMIC_FTRACE was not
      set and no ftrace_ops were registered. Although static tracing is
      not very useful (not having DYNAMIC_FTRACE set), it is still supported
      and we don't want to break it.
      
      Clean up the if statement even more to specifically have the default
      function call ftrace_stub when no ftrace_ops are registered. This
      fixes the small bug for static tracing as well as makes the code a
      bit more understandable.
