      tracing: Disable tracing on warning · de7edd31
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      Add a traceoff_on_warning option in both the kernel command line as well
      as a sysctl option. When set, any WARN*() function that is hit will cause
      the tracing_on variable to be cleared, which disables writing to the
      ring buffer.
      
      This is useful especially when tracing a bug with function tracing. When
      a warning is hit, the print caused by the warning can flood the trace with
      the functions that producing the output for the warning. This can make the
      resulting trace useless by either hiding where the bug happened, or worse,
      by overflowing the buffer and losing the trace of the bug totally.

      tracing: Use current_uid() for critical time tracing · f17a5194
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      The irqsoff tracer records the max time that interrupts are disabled.
      There are hooks in the assembly code that calls back into the tracer when
      interrupts are disabled or enabled.
      
      When they are enabled, the tracer checks if the amount of time they
      were disabled is larger than the previous recorded max interrupts off
      time. If it is, it creates a snapshot of the currently running trace
      to store where the last largest interrupts off time was held and how
      it happened.
      
      During testing, this RCU lockdep dump appeared:

      What happened was entering into the user code, the interrupts were enabled
      and a max interrupts off was recorded. The trace buffer was saved along with
      various information about the task: comm, pid, uid, priority, etc.
      
      The uid is recorded with task_uid(tsk). But this is a macro that uses rcu_read_lock()
      to retrieve the data, and this happened to happen where RCU is blind (user_enter).
      
      As only the preempt and irqs off tracers can have this happen, and they both
      only have the tsk == current, if tsk == current, use current_uid() instead of
      task_uid(), as current_uid() does not use RCU as only current can change its uid.
      
      This fixes the RCU suspicious splat.

      tracing: Fix crash when ftrace=nop on the kernel command line · ca164318
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      If ftrace=<tracer> is on the kernel command line, when that tracer is
      registered, it will be initiated by tracing_set_tracer() to execute that
      tracer.
      
      The nop tracer is just a stub tracer that is used to have no tracer
      enabled. It is assigned at early bootup as it is the default tracer.
      
      But if ftrace=nop is on the kernel command line, the registering of the
      nop tracer will call tracing_set_tracer() which will try to execute
      the nop tracer. But it expects tr->current_trace to be assigned something
      as it usually is assigned to the nop tracer. As it hasn't been assigned
      to anything yet, it causes the system to crash.
      
      The simple fix is to move the tr->current_trace = nop before registering
      the nop tracer. The functionality is still the same as the nop tracer
      doesn't do anything anyway.

      tracing: Fix ftrace_dump() · 7fe70b57
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      ftrace_dump() had a lot of issues. What ftrace_dump() does, is when
      ftrace_dump_on_oops is set (via a kernel parameter or sysctl), it
      will dump out the ftrace buffers to the console when either a oops,
      panic, or a sysrq-z occurs.
      
      This was written a long time ago when ftrace was fragile to recursion.
      But it wasn't written well even for that.
      
      There's a possible deadlock that can occur if a ftrace_dump() is happening
      and an NMI triggers another dump. This is because it grabs a lock
      before checking if the dump ran.
      
      It also totally disables ftrace, and tracing for no good reasons.
      
      As the ring_buffer now checks if it is read via a oops or NMI, where
      there's a chance that the buffer gets corrupted, it will disable
      itself. No need to have ftrace_dump() do the same.
      
      ftrace_dump() is now cleaned up where it uses an atomic counter to
      make sure only one dump happens at a time. A simple atomic_inc_return()
      is enough that is needed for both other CPUs and NMIs. No need for
      a spinlock, as if one CPU is running the dump, no other CPU needs
      to do it too.
      
      The tracing_on variable is turned off and not turned on. The original
      code did this, but it wasn't pretty. By just disabling this variable
      we get the result of not seeing traces that happen between crashes.
      
      For sysrq-z, it doesn't get turned on, but the user can always write
      a '1' to the tracing_on file. If they are using sysrq-z, then they should
      know about tracing_on.
      
      The new code is much easier to read and less error prone. No more
      deadlock possibility when an NMI triggers here.

      tracing: Add "perf" trace_clock · 76f11917
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      The function trace_clock() calls "local_clock()" which is exactly
      the same clock that perf uses. I'm not sure why perf doesn't call
      trace_clock(), as trace_clock() doesn't have any users.
      
      But now it does. As trace_clock() calls local_clock() like perf does,
      I added the trace_clock "perf" option that uses trace_clock().
      
      Now the ftrace buffers can use the same clock as perf uses. This
      will be useful when perf starts reading the ftrace buffers, and will
      be able to interleave them with the same clock data.

      tracing: Add function-trace option to disable function tracing of latency tracers · 328df475
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 提交于
      Currently, the only way to stop the latency tracers from doing function
      tracing is to fully disable the function tracer from the proc file
      system:
      
        echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
      
      This is a big hammer approach as it disables function tracing for
      all users. This includes kprobes, perf, stack tracer, etc.
      
      Instead, create a function-trace option that the latency tracers can
      check to determine if it should enable function tracing or not.
      This option can be set or cleared even while the tracer is active
      and the tracers will disable or enable function tracing depending
      on how the option was set.
      
      Instead of using the proc file, disable latency function tracing with
      
        echo 0 > /debug/tracing/options/function-trace

      This must be removed without the ':0'
