The x86 architecture uses a static recording of mcount caller locations and is not affected by this patch. For architectures still using the dynamic ftrace daemon, this patch is critical. It removes the race between the recording of a function that calls mcount, the unloading of a module, and the ftrace daemon updating the call sites. This patch adds the releasing of the hash functions that the daemon uses to update the mcount call sites. When a module is unloaded, not only are the replaced call site table update, but now so is the hash recorded functions that the ftrace daemon will use. Again, architectures that implement MCOUNT_RECORD are not affected by this (which currently only x86 has).

This must be brown paper bag week for Steven Rostedt! While working on ftrace for PPC, I discovered that the hash locking done when CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD is not set, is totally incorrect. With a cut and paste error, I had the hash lock macro to lock for both hash_lock _and_ hash_unlock! This bug did not affect x86 since this bug was introduced when CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD was added to x86.

The mcount record method of ftrace scans objdump for references to mcount. Using mcount as the reference to test if the calls to mcount being replaced are indeed calls to mcount, this use of mcount was also caught as a location to change. Using a variable that points to the mcount address moves this reference into the data section that is not scanned, and we do not use a false location to try and modify. The warn on code was what was used to detect this bug. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The new design of pre-recorded mcounts and updating the code outside of kstop_machine has changed the way the records themselves are protected. This patch uses the ftrace_lock to protect the records. Note, the lock still does not need to be taken within calls that are only called via kstop_machine, since the that code can not run while the spin lock is held. Also removed the hash_lock needed for the daemon when MCOUNT_RECORD is configured. Also did a slight cleanup of an unused variable.

由 Steven Rostedt 提交于
When a mcount pointer is recorded into a table, it is used to add or remove calls to mcount (replacing them with nops). If the code is removed via removing a module, the pointers still exist. At modifying the code a check is always made to make sure the code being replaced is the code expected. In-other-words, the code being replaced is compared to what it is expected to be before being replaced. There is a very small chance that the code being replaced just happens to look like code that calls mcount (very small since the call to mcount is relative). To remove this chance, this patch adds ftrace_release to allow module unloading to remove the pointers to mcount within the module. Another change for init calls is made to not trace calls marked with __init. The tracing can not be started until after init is done anyway.

This is the infrastructure to the converting the mcount call sites recorded by the __mcount_loc section into nops on boot. It also allows for using these sites to enable tracing as normal. When the __mcount_loc section is used, the "ftraced" kernel thread is disabled. This uses the current infrastructure to record the mcount call sites as well as convert them to nops. The mcount function is kept as a stub on boot up and not converted to the ftrace_record_ip function. We use the ftrace_record_ip to only record from the table. This patch does not handle modules. That comes with a later patch. Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Let records identified as being kprobe'd be marked as "frozen". The trouble with records which have a kprobe installed on their mcount call-site is that they don't get updated. So if such a function which is currently being traced gets its tracing disabled due to a new filter rule (or because it was added to the notrace list) then it won't be updated and continue being traced. This patch allows scanning of all frozen records during tracing to check if they should be traced.

This is a fix to give notrace filter rules priority over "set_ftrace_filter" rules. This fix ensures that functions which are set to be filtered and are concurrently marked as "notrace" don't get recorded. As of now, if a record is marked as FTRACE_FL_FILTER and is enabled, then the notrace flag is not checked. Tested on x86-32.

Prevent freeing of records which cause problems and correspond to function from core kernel text. A new flag, FTRACE_FL_CONVERTED is used to mark a record as "converted". All other records are patched lazily to NOPs. Failed records now also remain on frace_hash table. Each invocation of ftrace_record_ip now checks whether the traced function has ever been recorded (including past failures) and doesn't re-record it again.

In dynamic ftrace, the mcount function starts off pointing to a stub function that just returns. On start up, the call to the stub is modified to point to a "record_ip" function. The job of the record_ip function is to add the function to a pre-allocated hash list. If the function is already there, it simply is ignored, otherwise it is added to the list. Later, a ftraced daemon wakes up and calls kstop_machine if any functions have been recorded, and changes the calls to the recorded functions to a simple nop. If no functions were recorded, the daemon goes back to sleep. The daemon wakes up once a second to see if it needs to update any newly recorded functions into nops. Usually it does not, but if a lot of code has been executed for the first time in the kernel, the ftraced daemon will call kstop_machine to update those into nops. The problem currently is that there's no way to stop the daemon from doing this, and it can cause unneeded latencies (800us which for some is bothersome). This patch adds a new file /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled. If the daemon is active, reading this will return "enabled\n" and "disabled\n" when the daemon is not running. To disable the daemon, the user can echo "0" or "disable" into this file, and "1" or "enable" to re-enable the daemon. Since the daemon is used to convert the functions into nops to increase the performance of the system, I also added that anytime something is written into the ftraced_enabled file, kstop_machine will run if there are new functions that have been detected that need to be converted. This way the user can disable the daemon but still be able to control the conversion of the mcount calls to nops by simply, "echo 0 > /debugfs/tracing/ftraced_enabled" when they need to do more conversions. To see the number of converted functions: "cat /debugfs/tracing/dyn_ftrace_total_info" Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

While debugging latencies in the RT kernel, I found that it would be nice to be able to filter away functions from the trace than just to filter on functions. I added a new interface to the debugfs tracing directory called set_ftrace_notrace When dynamic frace is enabled, this lets you filter away functions that will not be recorded in the trace. It is similar to adding 'notrace' to those functions but by doing it without recompiling the kernel. Here's how set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace interact. Remember, if set_ftrace_filter is set, it removes all functions from the trace execpt for those listed in the set_ftrace_filter. set_ftrace_notrace will prevent those functions from being traced. If you were to set one function in both set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace and that function was the same, then you would end up with an empty trace. the set of functions to trace is: set_ftrace_filter == empty then all functions not in set_ftrace_notrace else set of the set_ftrace_filter and not in set of set_ftrace_notrace.

Due to debug hooks in the kernel that can change the way smp_processor_id works, use raw_smp_processor_id in mcount called functions (namely ftrace_record_ip). Currently we annotate most debug functions from calling mcount, but we should not rely on that to prevent kernel lockups.
