tracing: Fix the shift out of bounds in the log2 histogram modifier
The .log2 key modifier files a value under its base-2 order:
# echo 'hist:keys=bytes_req.log2' > events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
hist_field_log2() computes that as ilog2(roundup_pow_of_two(val)). The
out-of-line form of roundup_pow_of_two() is
return 1UL << fls_long(n - 1);
which shifts by 64 on a 64-bit kernel both when n is 0, where n - 1
wraps to ULONG_MAX, and when n is above 2^63. Both are ordinary keys,
because the field fetch hands every value over as a u64: a syscall
argument of 0 reaches the first, and one above 2^63 reaches the second.
Keying sys_enter_lseek on offset.log2 and passing 0, 1, 2, 3, 1000,
2^63+1 and U64_MAX gives
{ offset: ~ 2^1 } hitcount: 1
{ offset: ~ 2^10 } hitcount: 1
{ offset: ~ 2^2 } hitcount: 1
{ offset: ~ 2^0 } hitcount: 4
Keys above 2^63 land in the lowest bucket. With CONFIG_UBSAN_SHIFT=y
the shift is also reported:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in include/linux/log2.h:57:13
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int'
__ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds.cold+0xdd/0x1cb
hist_fn_call.cold+0x8b/0xd9
event_hist_trigger+0x1cc/0x790
ftrace_syscall_enter+0x197/0x360
do_syscall_64+0x402/0x4b0
Use order_base_2(), which is ilog2(n - 1) + 1 for n > 1 and 0 below
that. It returns what the old expression returned on every input the
old one was defined for. Where it was not, 0 stays in bucket 0, which
is where x86_64 had been putting it, and the keys above 2^63 move into
bucket 64.
