Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching to the trace buffer snapshot. Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer (max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.

As si_mem_available() can say there is enough memory even though the memory available is not useable by the ring buffer, it is best to not kill innocent applications because the ring buffer is taking up all the memory while it is trying to allocate a great deal of memory. If the allocator is user space (because kernel threads can also increase the size of the kernel ring buffer on boot up), then after si_mem_available() says there is enough memory, set the OOM killer to kill the current task if an OOM triggers during the allocation.

The ring buffer is made up of a link list of pages. When making the ring buffer bigger, it will allocate all the pages it needs before adding to the ring buffer, and if it fails, it frees them and returns an error. This makes increasing the ring buffer size an all or nothing action. When this was first created, the pages were allocated with "NORETRY". This was to not cause any Out-Of-Memory (OOM) actions from allocating the ring buffer. But NORETRY was too strict, as the ring buffer would fail to expand even when there's memory available, but was taken up in the page cache. Commit 84861885 ("tracing/ring_buffer: Try harder to allocate") changed the allocating from NORETRY to RETRY_MAYFAIL. The RETRY_MAYFAIL would allocate from the page cache, but if there was no memory available, it would simple fail the allocation and not trigger an OOM. This worked fine, but had one problem. As the ring buffer would allocate one page at a time, it could take up all memory in the system before it failed to allocate and free that memory. If the allocation is happening and the ring buffer allocates all memory and then tries to take more than available, its allocation will not trigger an OOM, but if there's any allocation that happens someplace else, that could trigger an OOM, even though once the ring buffer's allocation fails, it would free up all the previous memory it tried to allocate, and allow other memory allocations to succeed. Commit d02bd27b ("mm/page_alloc.c: calculate 'available' memory in a separate function") separated out si_mem_availble() as a separate function that could be used to see how much memory is available in the system. Using this function to make sure that the ring buffer could be allocated before it tries to allocate pages we can avoid allocating all memory in the system and making it vulnerable to OOMs if other allocations are taking place.

The ring-buffer code has recusion protection in case tracing ends up tracing itself, the ring-buffer will detect that it was called at the same context (normal, softirq, interrupt or NMI), and not continue to record the event. With the histogram synthetic events, they are called while tracing another event at the same context. The recusion protection triggers because it detects tracing at the same context and stops it. Add ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end() that will notify the ring buffer that a trace is about to happen within another trace and that it is intended, and not to trigger the recursion blocking.

RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP is defined but not used, and from what I can gather was reserved for something like an absolute timestamp feature for the ring buffer, if not a complete replacement of the current time_delta scheme. This code redefines RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP to implement absolute time stamps. Another way to look at it is that it essentially forces extended time_deltas for all events. The motivation for doing this is to enable time_deltas that aren't dependent on previous events in the ring buffer, making it feasible to use the ring_buffer_event timetamps in a more random-access way, for purposes other than serial event printing. To set/reset this mode, use tracing_set_timestamp_abs() from the previous interface patch.

In bringing back the context checks, the code checks first if its normal (non-interrupt) context, and then for NMI then IRQ then softirq. The final check is redundant. Since the if branch is only hit if the context is one of NMI, IRQ, or SOFTIRQ, if it's not NMI or IRQ there's no reason to check if it is SOFTIRQ. The current code returns the same result even if its not a SOFTIRQ. Which is confusing. pc & SOFTIRQ_OFFSET ? 2 : RB_CTX_SOFTIRQ Is redundant as RB_CTX_SOFTIRQ *is* 2!

Commit 1a149d7d ("ring-buffer: Rewrite trace_recursive_(un)lock() to be simpler") replaced the context level recursion checks with a simple counter. This would prevent the ring buffer code from recursively calling itself more than the max number of contexts that exist (Normal, softirq, irq, nmi). But this change caused a lockup in a specific case, which was during suspend and resume using a global clock. Adding a stack dump to see where this occurred, the issue was in the trace global clock itself: trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1c/0x50 __trace_graph_entry+0x2d/0x90 trace_graph_entry+0xe8/0x200 prepare_ftrace_return+0x69/0xc0 ftrace_graph_caller+0x78/0xa8 queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x5/0x1d0 trace_clock_global+0xb0/0xc0 ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0xf9/0x390 The function graph tracer traced queued_spin_lock_slowpath that was called by trace_clock_global. This pointed out that the trace_clock_global() is not reentrant, as it takes a spin lock. It depended on the ring buffer recursive lock from letting that happen. By removing the context detection and adding just a max number of allowable recursions, it allowed the trace_clock_global() to be entered again and try to retake the spinlock it already held, causing a deadlock.

To free the reader page that is allocated with ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(), ring_buffer_free_read_page() must be called. For faster performance, this page can be reused by the ring buffer to avoid having to free and allocate new pages. The issue arises when the page is used with a splice pipe into the networking code. The networking code may up the page counter for the page, and keep it active while sending it is queued to go to the network. The incrementing of the page ref does not prevent it from being reused in the ring buffer, and this can cause the page that is being sent out to the network to be modified before it is sent by reading new data. Add a check to the page ref counter, and only reuse the page if it is not being used anywhere else.

Two info bits were added to the "commit" part of the ring buffer data page when returned to be consumed. This was to inform the user space readers that events have been missed, and that the count may be stored at the end of the page. What wasn't handled, was the splice code that actually called a function to return the length of the data in order to zero out the rest of the page before sending it up to user space. These data bits were returned with the length making the value negative, and that negative value was not checked. It was compared to PAGE_SIZE, and only used if the size was less than PAGE_SIZE. Luckily PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long which made the compare an unsigned compare, meaning the negative size value did not end up causing a large portion of memory to be randomly zeroed out.

Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2. As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck. KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream. We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't consider KASan as a suitable replacement). The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2 years, and try again. Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: NMark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NPaul E.

The current method to prevent the ring buffer from entering into a recursize loop is to use a bitmask and set the bit that maps to the current context (normal, softirq, irq or NMI), and if that bit was already set, it is considered a recursive loop. New code is being added that may require the ring buffer to be entered a second time in the current context. The recursive locking prevents that from happening. Instead of mapping a bitmask to the current context, just allow 4 levels of nesting in the ring buffer. This matches the 4 context levels that it can already nest. It is highly unlikely to have more than two levels, thus it should be fine when we add the second entry into the ring buffer. If that proves to be a problem, we can always up the number to 8. An added benefit is that reading preempt_count() to get the current level adds a very slight but noticeable overhead. This removes that need.

Chunyu Hu reported: "per_cpu trace directories and files are created for all possible cpus, but only the cpus which have ever been on-lined have their own per cpu ring buffer (allocated by cpuhp threads). While trace_buffers_open, the open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer. Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer. Reproduce: cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw (cpu31 is never on-lined, this is a 16 cores x86_64 box) Tested with: 1) boot with maxcpus=14, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.

ftrace can fail to allocate per-CPU ring buffer on systems with a large number of CPUs coupled while large amounts of cache happening in the page cache. Currently the ring buffer allocation doesn't retry in the VM implementation even if direct-reclaim made some progress but still wasn't able to find a free page. On retrying I see that the allocations almost always succeed. The retry doesn't happen because __GFP_NORETRY is used in the tracer to prevent the case where we might OOM, however if we drop __GFP_NORETRY, we risk destabilizing the system if OOM killer is triggered. To prevent this situation, use the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL flag introduced recently [1]. Tested the following still succeeds without destabilizing a system with 1GB memory. echo 300000 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb [1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=149820805124906&w=2 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170713021416.8897-1-joelaf@google.com Cc: Tim Murray <timmurray@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Acked-by: NVlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: NJohannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by: NMichal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJoel Fernandes <joelaf@google.com> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice, where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page for the reader. The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc mechanism. Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring buffer. Before this change: # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1 # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l 9968 After this change: # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1 # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l 4 Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how to allocate and use it. For example: ># cat snapshot # tracer: nop # # # * Snapshot is allocated * # # Snapshot commands: # echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer # echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated. # Takes a snapshot of the main buffer. # echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free) # (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that # is not a '0' or '1') But instead it just showed an empty buffer: ># cat snapshot # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

Before commit b32614c0 ("tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state machine") the allocated cpumask was initialized to the mask of ONLINE or POSSIBLE CPUs. After the CPU hotplug changes the buffer initialisation moved to trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but I forgot to initially set the cpumask to zero. This is done now.

After the CPU hotplug changes the buffer initialization moved to trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but the cpumask is allocated with alloc_cpumask() and therefor has random content. As a consequence the cpu buffers are not initialized and a later access dereferences a NULL pointer. Use zalloc_cpumask() instead so trace_rb_cpu_prepare() initializes the buffers properly.

Install the callbacks via the state machine. The notifier in struct ring_buffer is replaced by the multi instance interface. Upon __ring_buffer_alloc() invocation, cpuhp_state_add_instance() will invoke the trace_rb_cpu_prepare() on each CPU. This callback may now fail. This means __ring_buffer_alloc() will fail and cleanup (like previously) and during a CPU up event this failure will not allow the CPU to come up.

There's several small helper functions in ring_buffer.c that are used in the hot path. For some reason, even though they are marked inline, gcc tends not to enforce it.

The rb_event_data() is the fast path of getting the ring buffer data from an event. Externally, ring_buffer_event_data() is used to access this function. But unfortunately, rb_event_data() is not inlined, and calling ring_buffer_event_data() causes that function to be called again. Force rb_event_data() to be inlined to lower the number of operations needed when calling ring_buffer_event_data().

The function rb_reserved_next_event() is called by two functions: ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and ring_buffer_write(). This is in a very hot path of the tracing code, and it is best that they are not functions. The two callers are basically wrapers for rb_reserver_next_event(). Removing the function calls can save execution time in the hotpath of tracing.

If the size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is greater than MAX_LONG - BUF_PAGE_SIZE then the DIV_ROUND_UP() will return zero. Here's the details: # echo 18014398509481980 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb tracing_entries_write() processes this and converts kb to bytes. 18014398509481980 << 10 = 18446744073709547520 and this is passed to ring_buffer_resize() as unsigned long size. size = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE); Where DIV_ROUND_UP(a, b) is (a + b - 1)/b BUF_PAGE_SIZE is 4080 and here 18446744073709547520 + 4080 - 1 = 18446744073709551599 where 18446744073709551599 is still smaller than 2^64 2^64 - 18446744073709551599 = 17 But now 18446744073709551599 / 4080 = 4521260802379792 and size = size * 4080 = 18446744073709551360 This is checked to make sure its still greater than 2 * 4080, which it is. Then we convert to the number of buffer pages needed. nr_page = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE) but this time size is 18446744073709551360 and 2^64 - (18446744073709551360 + 4080 - 1) = -3823 Thus it overflows and the resulting number is less than 4080, which makes 3823 / 4080 = 0 an nr_pages is set to this. As we already checked against the minimum that nr_pages may be, this causes the logic to fail as well, and we crash the kernel. There's no reason to have the two DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's just result of historical code changes), clean up the code and fix this bug.

The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit machines this can cause an overflow problem. For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 10 > buffer_size_kb # echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb Then you get the warning of: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260 Which is: RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed); Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes. This is because: 1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages. (10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold) 2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240 The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760 3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672 4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get: 2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update 5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int turns into the value of -2147482627 6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

The first commit of a buffer page updates the timestamp of that page. No need to have the update to the next page add the timestamp too.

Commit fcc742ea "ring-buffer: Add event descriptor to simplify passing data" added a descriptor that holds various data instead of passing around several variables through parameters. The problem was that one of the parameters was modified in a function and the code was designed not to have an effect on that modified parameter. Now that the parameter is a descriptor and any modifications to it are non-volatile, the size of the data could be unnecessarily expanded. Remove the extra space added if a timestamp was added and the event went across the page.
