x86_64 lazily maps in the vmalloc pages, and the way this works with per_cpu
areas can be complex, to say the least. Mappings may happen at boot up, and
if nothing synchronizes the page tables, those page mappings may not be
synced till they are used. This causes issues for anything that might touch
one of those mappings in the path of the page fault handler. When one of
those unmapped mappings is touched in the page fault handler, it will cause
another page fault, which in turn will cause a page fault, and leave us in
a loop of page faults.
Commit 763802b53a42 ("x86/mm: split vmalloc_sync_all()") split
vmalloc_sync_all() into vmalloc_sync_unmappings() and
vmalloc_sync_mappings(), as on system exit, it did not need to do a full
sync on x86_64 (although it still needed to be done on x86_32). By chance,
the vmalloc_sync_all() would synchronize the page mappings done at boot up
and prevent the per cpu area from being a problem for tracing in the page
fault handler. But when that synchronization in the exit of a task became a
nop, it caused the problem to appear.

When dumping out the trace data in latency format, a check is made to peek
at the next event to compare its timestamp to the current one, and if the
delta is of a greater size, it will add a marker showing so. But to do this,
it needs to save the current event otherwise peeking at the next event will
remove the current event. To save the event, a temp buffer is used, and if
the event is bigger than the temp buffer, the temp buffer is freed and a
bigger buffer is allocated.
This allocation is a problem when called in atomic context. The only way
this gets called via atomic context is via ftrace_dump(). Thus, use a static
buffer of 128 bytes (which covers most events), and if the event is bigger
than that, simply return NULL. The callers of trace_find_next_entry() need
to handle a NULL case, as that's what would happen if the allocation failed.

There's currently a way to select a task that should only be traced by
functions, but there's no way to select a task not to be traced by the
function tracer. Add a set_ftrace_notrace_pid file that acts the same as
set_ftrace_pid (and is also affected by function-fork), but the task pids in
this file will not be traced even if they are listed in the set_ftrace_pid
file. This makes it easy for tools like trace-cmd to "hide" itself from the
function tracer when it is recording other tasks.

When the ring buffer was first created, the iterator followed the normal
producer/consumer operations where it had both a peek() operation, that just
returned the event at the current location, and a read(), that would return
the event at the current location and also increment the iterator such that
the next peek() or read() will return the next event.
The only use of the ring_buffer_read() is currently to move the iterator to
the next location and nothing now actually reads the event it returns.
Rename this function to its actual use case to ring_buffer_iter_advance(),
which also adds the "iter" part to the name, which is more meaningful. As
the timestamp returned by ring_buffer_read() was never used, there's no
reason that this new version should bother having returning it. It will also
become a void function.

In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating,
it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate
location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable.
There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer
interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to
use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single
copy, this use case will no longer be supported.
Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first
event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first
event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.

The tracing seftests checks various aspects of the tracing infrastructure,
and one is filtering. If trace_printk() is active during a self test, it can
cause the filtering to fail, which will disable that part of the trace.
To keep the selftests from failing because of trace_printk() calls,
trace_printk() checks the variable tracing_selftest_running, and if set, it
does not write to the tracing buffer.
As some tracers were registered earlier in boot, the selftest they triggered
would fail because not all the infrastructure was set up for the full
selftest. Thus, some of the tests were post poned to when their
infrastructure was ready (namely file system code). The postpone code did
not set the tracing_seftest_running variable, and could fail if a
trace_printk() was added and executed during their run.

As warnings can trigger panics, especially when "panic_on_warn" is set,
memory failure warnings can cause panics and fail fuzz testers that are
stressing memory.
Create a MEM_FAIL() macro to use instead of WARN() in the tracing code
(perhaps this should be a kernel wide macro?), and use that for memory
failure issues. This should stop failing fuzz tests due to warnings.

The trace_array_get_by_name() creates a ftrace instance and
trace_array_put() is used to remove the reference. Even though the
trace_array_get_by_name() creates the instance, it also adds a reference
count to it, that prevents user space from removing it.
As the bootconfig just creates the instance on boot up, it should still be
used where it can be deleted by user space after boot. A trace_array_put()
is required to let that happen.
Also, change the documentation on trace_array_get_by_name() to make this not
be so confusing.

trace_printk() is used to debug the kernel which includes the tracing
infrastructure. But because it writes to the ring buffer, and so does much
of the tracing infrastructure, the ring buffer's recursive detection will
drop writes to the ring buffer that is in the same context as the current
write is happening (it allows interrupts to write when normal context is
writing, but wont let normal context write while normal context is writing).
This can cause confusion and think that the code is where the trace_printk()
exists is not hit. To solve this, up the recursive nesting of the ring
buffer when trace_printk() is called before it writes to the buffer itself.
Note, this does make it dangerous to use trace_printk() in the ring buffer
code itself, because this basically disables the recursion protection of
trace_printk() buffer writes. But as trace_printk() is only used for
debugging, and if this does occur, the developer will see the cause real
quick (recursive blowing up of the stack). Thus the developer can deal with
that. But having trace_printk() silently ignored is a much bigger problem,
and disabling recursive protection is a small price to pay to fix it.

the global trace instance.
- ftrace.options = OPT1[,OPT2...]
Enable given ftrace options.
- ftrace.trace_clock = CLOCK
Set given CLOCK to ftrace's trace_clock.
- ftrace.buffer_size = SIZE
Configure ftrace buffer size to SIZE. You can use "KB" or "MB"
for that SIZE.
- ftrace.events = EVENT[, EVENT2...]
Enable given events on boot. You can use a wild card in EVENT.
- ftrace.tracer = TRACER
Set TRACER to current tracer on boot. (e.g. function)
Note that this is NOT replacing the kernel parameters, because
this boot config based setting is later than that. If you want to
trace earlier boot events, you still need kernel parameters.

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion.
The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither
of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be
renamed as:
perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer
ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer
This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

If lockdown is disabling tracing on boot up, it prevents the tracing files
from even bering created. But when that happens, there's several places that
will give a warning that the files were not created as that is usually a
sign of a bug.
Add in strategic locations where a check is made to see if tracing is
disabled by lockdown, and if it is, do not go further, and fail silently
(but print that tracing is disabled by lockdown, without doing a WARN_ON()).

This patch implements the feature that the tracing_max_latency file,
e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency will receive
notifications through the fsnotify framework when a new latency is
available.
One particularly interesting use of this facility is when enabling
threshold tracing, through /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh,
together with the preempt/irqsoff tracers. This makes it possible to
implement a user space program that can, with equal probability,
obtain traces of latencies that occur immediately after each other in
spite of the fact that the preempt/irqsoff tracers operate in overwrite
mode.
This facility works with the hwlat, preempt/irqsoff, and wakeup
tracers.
The tracers may call the latency_fsnotify() from places such as
__schedule() or do_idle(); this makes it impossible to call
queue_work() directly without risking a deadlock. The same would
happen with a softirq, kernel thread or tasklet. For this reason we
use the irq_work mechanism to call queue_work().
This patch creates a new workqueue. The reason for doing this is that
I wanted to use the WQ_UNBOUND and WQ_HIGHPRI flags. My thinking was
that WQ_UNBOUND might help with the latency in some important cases.
If we use:
queue_work(system_highpri_wq, &tr->fsnotify_work);
then the work will (almost) always execute on the same CPU but if we are
unlucky that CPU could be too busy while there could be another CPU in
the system that would be able to process the work soon enough.
queue_work_on() could be used to queue the work on another CPU but it
seems difficult to select the right CPU.

Looking for ways to shrink the size of the dyn_ftrace structure, knowing the
information about how many pages and the number of groups of those pages, is
useful in working out the best ways to save on memory.
This adds one info print on how many groups of pages were used to allocate
the ftrace dyn_ftrace structures, and also shows the number of pages and
groups in the dyn_ftrace_total_info (which is used for debugging).

It caught the process in the middle of trace_access_unlock(). There is
no loop. So, it must be looping in the caller tracing_read_pipe()
via the "waitagain" label.
Crashdump analyze uncovered that iter->seq was completely zeroed
at this point, including iter->seq.seq.size. It means that
print_trace_line() was never able to print anything and
there was no forward progress.
The culprit seems to be in the code:
/* reset all but tr, trace, and overruns */
memset(&iter->seq, 0,
sizeof(struct trace_iterator) -
offsetof(struct trace_iterator, seq));
It was added by the commit 53d0aa773053ab182877 ("ftrace:
add logic to record overruns"). It was v2.6.27-rc1.
It was the time when iter->seq looked like:
struct trace_seq {
unsigned char buffer[PAGE_SIZE];
unsigned int len;
};
There was no "size" variable and zeroing was perfectly fine.
The solution is to reinitialize the structure after or without
zeroing.

Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown
mode, and if so, to return -EPERM.
Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines)
as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being
traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter
intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been
modified.

Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is
set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when
tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring
buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from
crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on
boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is
disabled until reboot.
As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs
directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array
associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is
freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array,
then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there
could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is
found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and
the trace_array associated with it freed).
Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a
single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to
tracefs later.

Instead of having the trace events system open call open code the taking of
the trace_array descriptor (with trace_array_get()) and then calling
trace_open_generic(), have it use the tracing_open_generic_tr() that does
the combination of the two. This requires making tracing_open_generic_tr()
global.

As instances may have different tracers available, we need to look at the
trace_array descriptor that shows the list of the available tracers for the
instance. But there's a race between opening the file and an admin
deleting the instance. The trace_array_get() needs to be called before
accessing the trace_array.

Add immediate string parameter (\"string") support to
probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate
(or dummy) parameter instead of fetching a string from
memory.
This feature looks odd, but imagine that you put a probe
on a code to trace some string data. If the code is
compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a
string on memory but other has no string since it is
optimized out. In that case, you can not fold those into
one event, even if ftrace supported multiple probes on
one event. With this feature, you can set a dummy string
like foo=\"(optimized)":string instead of something
like foo=+0(+0(%bp)):string.

Add multi-probe per one event support to kprobe events.
User can define several different probes on one trace event
if those events have same "event signature",
e.g.
# echo p:testevent _do_fork > kprobe_events
# echo p:testevent fork_idle >> kprobe_events
# kprobe_events
p:kprobes/testevent _do_fork
p:kprobes/testevent fork_idle
The event signature is defined by kprobe type (retprobe or not),
the number of args, argument names, and argument types.
Note that this only support appending method. Delete event
operation will delete all probes on the event.
