* syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() argsSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2019-04-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only 0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6 arguments of a system call. This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace, ftrace and perf.

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* tracing: Add #undef to fix compile errorRik van Riel2017-03-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several trace include files that define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE. Include several of them in the same .c file (as I currently have in some code I am working on), and the compile will blow up with a "warning: "TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE" redefined #define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE syscalls" Every other include file in include/trace/events/ avoids that issue by having a #undef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE before the #define; syscalls.h should have one, too.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows non privileged users to use the raw syscall trace events for task bound tracing in perf. It is safe because raw syscall trace events don't leak system wide informations.

* tracing: Separate raw syscall from syscall tracerLai Jiangshan2009-11-251-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current syscall tracer mixes raw syscalls and real syscalls. echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable And we get these from the output: (XXXX insteads " grep-20914 [001] 588211.446347" .. etc) XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: 80609a8, count: 7000) XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (3, 80609a8, 7000, a, 1000, bfce8ef8) XXXX: sys_read -> 0x138 XXXX: sys_exit: NR 3 = 312 XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: 8060ae0, count: 7000) XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (3, 8060ae0, 7000, a, 1000, bfce8ef8) XXXX: sys_read -> 0x138 XXXX: sys_exit: NR 3 = 312 There are 2 drawbacks here. A) two almost identical records are saved in ringbuffer when a syscall enters or exits. (4 records for every syscall) This wastes precious space in the ring buffer. B) the lines including "sys_enter/sys_exit" produces hardly any useful information for the output (no labels). The user can use this method to prevent these drawbacks: echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_enter/enable echo 0 > events/syscalls/sys_exit/enable But this is not user friendly. So we separate raw syscall from syscall tracer. After this fix applied: syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/syscalls/enable): XXXX: sys_read(fd: 3, buf: bfe87d88, count: 200) XXXX: sys_read -> 0x200 XXXX: sys_fstat64(fd: 3, statbuf: bfe87c98) XXXX: sys_fstat64 -> 0x0 XXXX: sys_close(fd: 3) raw syscall tracer's output (echo 1 > events/raw_syscalls/enable): XXXX: sys_enter: NR 175 (0, bf92bf18, bf92bf98, 8, b748cff4, bf92bef8) XXXX: sys_exit: NR 175 = 0 XXXX: sys_enter: NR 175 (2, bf92bf98, 0, 8, b748cff4, bf92bef8) XXXX: sys_exit: NR 175 = 0 XXXX: sys_enter: NR 3 (9, bf927f9c, 4000, b77e2518, b77dce60, bf92bff8) Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <4AEFC37C.5080609@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* tracing: Create generic syscall TRACE_EVENTsJosh Stone2009-08-261-0/+70
This converts the syscall_enter/exit tracepoints into TRACE_EVENTs, so you can have generic ftrace events that capture all system calls with arguments and return values. These generic events are also renamed to sys_enter/exit, so they're more closely aligned to the specific sys_enter_foo events.
