tracing/histograms: Fix parsing of "sym-offset" modifier

2021-07-07T17:14:21+00:00

With the addition of simple mathematical operations (plus and minus), the parsing of the "sym-offset" modifier broke, as it took the '-' part of the "sym-offset" as a minus, and tried to break it up into a mathematical operation of "field.sym - offset", in which case it failed to parse (unless the event had a field called "offset"). Both .sym and .sym-offset modifiers should not be entered into mathematical calculations anyway. If ".sym-offset" is found in the modifier, then simply make it not an operation that can be calculated on.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added option for per CPU threads to the hwlat tracer - Have hwlat tracer handle hotplug CPUs - New tracer: osnoise, that detects latency caused by interrupts, softirqs and scheduling of other tasks. - Added timerlat tracer that creates a thread and measures in detail what sources of latency it has for wake ups. - Removed the "success" field of the sched_wakeup trace event. This has been hardcoded as "1" since 2015, no tooling should be looking at it now. If one exists, we can revert this commit, fix that tool and try to remove it again in the future. - tgid mapping fixed to handle more than PID_MAX_DEFAULT pids/tgids. - New boot command line option "tp_printk_stop", as tp_printk causes trace events to write to console. When user space starts, this can easily live lock the system. Having a boot option to stop just after boot up is useful to prevent that from happening. - Have ftrace_dump_on_oops boot command line option take numbers that match the numbers shown in /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops. - Bootconfig clean ups, fixes and enhancements. - New ktest script that tests bootconfig options. - Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() to register a tracepoint without triggering a WARN*() if it already exists. BPF has a path from user space that can do this. All other paths are considered a bug. - Small clean ups and fixes * tag 'trace-v5.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (49 commits) tracing: Resize tgid_map to pid_max, not PID_MAX_DEFAULT tracing: Simplify & fix saved_tgids logic treewide: Add missing semicolons to __assign_str uses tracing: Change variable type as bool for clean-up trace/timerlat: Fix indentation on timerlat_main() trace/osnoise: Make 'noise' variable s64 in run_osnoise() tracepoint: Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() for BPF tracing tracing: Fix spelling in osnoise tracer "interferences" -> "interference" Documentation: Fix a typo on trace/osnoise-tracer trace/osnoise: Fix return value on osnoise_init_hotplug_support trace/osnoise: Make interval u64 on osnoise_main trace/osnoise: Fix 'no previous prototype' warnings tracing: Have osnoise_main() add a quiescent state for task rcu seq_buf: Make trace_seq_putmem_hex() support data longer than 8 seq_buf: Fix overflow in seq_buf_putmem_hex() trace/osnoise: Support hotplug operations trace/hwlat: Support hotplug operations trace/hwlat: Protect kdata->kthread with get/put_online_cpus trace: Add timerlat tracer trace: Add osnoise tracer ...

tracing: Resize tgid_map to pid_max, not PID_MAX_DEFAULT

2021-07-01T18:18:53+00:00

Currently tgid_map is sized at PID_MAX_DEFAULT entries, which means that on systems where pid_max is configured higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT the ftrace record-tgid option doesn't work so well. Any tasks with PIDs higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT are simply not recorded in tgid_map, and don't show up in the saved_tgids file. In particular since systemd v243 & above configure pid_max to its highest possible 1<<22 value by default on 64 bit systems this renders the record-tgids option of little use. Increase the size of tgid_map to the configured pid_max instead, allowing it to cover the full range of PIDs up to the maximum value of PID_MAX_LIMIT if the system is configured that way. On 64 bit systems with pid_max == PID_MAX_LIMIT this will increase the size of tgid_map from 256KiB to 16MiB. Whilst this 64x increase in memory overhead sounds significant 64 bit systems are presumably best placed to accommodate it, and since tgid_map is only allocated when the record-tgid option is actually used presumably the user would rather it spends sufficient memory to actually record the tgids they expect. The size of tgid_map could also increase for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=y configurations, but these seem unlikely to be systems upon which people are both configuring a large pid_max and running ftrace with record-tgid anyway. Of note is that we only allocate tgid_map once, the first time that the record-tgid option is enabled. Therefore its size is only set once, to the value of pid_max at the time the record-tgid option is first enabled. If a user increases pid_max after that point, the saved_tgids file will not contain entries for any tasks with pids beyond the earlier value of pid_max.

kernel.h: split out panic and oops helpers

2021-07-01T18:06:04+00:00

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and oops helpers. There are several purposes of doing this: - dropping dependency in bug.h - dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h - unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.

tracing: Simplify & fix saved_tgids logic

2021-06-30T13:19:14+00:00

The tgid_map array records a mapping from pid to tgid, where the index of an entry within the array is the pid & the value stored at that index is the tgid. The saved_tgids_next() function iterates over pointers into the tgid_map array & dereferences the pointers which results in the tgid, but then it passes that dereferenced value to trace_find_tgid() which treats it as a pid & does a further lookup within the tgid_map array. It seems likely that the intent here was to skip over entries in tgid_map for which the recorded tgid is zero, but instead we end up skipping over entries for which the thread group leader hasn't yet had its own tgid recorded in tgid_map. A minimal fix would be to remove the call to trace_find_tgid, turning: if (trace_find_tgid(*ptr)) into: if (*ptr) ..but it seems like this logic can be much simpler if we simply let seq_read() iterate over the whole tgid_map array & filter out empty entries by returning SEQ_SKIP from saved_tgids_show(). Here we take that approach, removing the incorrect logic here entirely.

trace/timerlat: Fix indentation on timerlat_main()
