      ftrace: clean up of using ftrace_event_enable_disable() · 0e907c99
      Zhaolei 提交于
      Always use ftrace_event_enable_disable() to enable/disable an event
      so that we can factorize out the event toggling code.

      ftrace: Add task_comm support for trace_event · b11c53e1
      Zhaolei 提交于
      If we enable a trace event alone without any tracer running (such as
      function tracer, sched switch tracer, etc...) it can't output enough
      task command information.
      
      We need to use the tracing_{start/stop}_cmdline_record() helpers
      which are designed to keep track of cmdlines for any tasks that
      were scheduled during the tracing.
      
      Before this patch:

       # cat debugfs/tracing/trace

      tracing/events: change the type of __str_loc_item to unsigned short · b0aae68c
      Li Zefan 提交于
      When defining a dynamic size string, we add __str_loc_##item to the
      trace entry, and it stores the location of the actual string in
      entry->_str_data[]
      
      'unsigned short' should be sufficient to store this information, thus
      we save 2 bytes per dyn-size string in the ring buffer.

      tracing: add trace_event_read_lock() · 4f535968
      Lai Jiangshan 提交于
      I found that there is nothing to protect event_hash in
      ftrace_find_event(). Rcu protects the event hashlist
      but not the event itself while we use it after its extraction
      through ftrace_find_event().
      
      This lack of a proper locking in this spot opens a race
      window between any event dereferencing and module removal.
      
      Eg:
      
      --Task A--
      
      print_trace_line(trace) {
        event = find_ftrace_event(trace)
      
      --Task B--
      
      trace_module_remove_events(mod) {
        list_trace_events_module(ev, mod) {
          unregister_ftrace_event(ev->event) {
            hlist_del(ev->event->node)
              list_del(....)
          }
        }
      }
      |--> module removed, the event has been dropped
      
      --Task A--
      
        event->print(trace); // Dereferencing freed memory
      
      If the event retrieved belongs to a module and this module
      is concurrently removed, we may end up dereferencing a data
      from a freed module.
      
      RCU could solve this, but it would add latency to the kernel and
      forbid tracers output callbacks to call any sleepable code.
      So this fix converts 'trace_event_mutex' to a read/write semaphore,
      and adds trace_event_read_lock() to protect ftrace_find_event().

      blktrace: remove debugfs entries on bad path · fd51d251
      Stefan Raspl 提交于
      debugfs directory entries for devices are not removed on some
      of the failure pathes in do_blk_trace_setup().
      One way to reproduce is to start blktrace on multiple devices
      with insufficient Vmalloc space: Devices will fail with
      a message like this:
      
      	BLKTRACESETUP(2) /dev/sdu failed: 5/Input/output error
      
      If so, the respective entries in debugfs
      (e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/block/sdu) will remain and subsequent
      attempts to start blktrace on the respective devices will not
      succeed due to existing directories.
