* ring-buffer/tracing: Have iterator acknowledge dropped eventsSteven Rostedt (VMware)2020-03-271-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | Have the ring_buffer_iterator set a flag if events were dropped as it were to go and peek at the next event. Have the trace file display this fact if it happened with a "LOST EVENTS" message.

* ring-buffer: Make resize disable per cpu buffer instead of total bufferSteven Rostedt (VMware)2020-03-271-13/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the ring buffer becomes writable for even when the trace file is read, it must still not be resized. But since tracers can be activated while the trace file is being read, the irqsoff tracer can modify the per CPU buffers, and this can cause the reader of the trace file to update the wrong buffer's resize disable bit, as the irqsoff tracer swaps out cpu buffers. By making the resize disable per cpu_buffer, it makes the update follow the per cpu_buffer even if it's swapped out with the snapshot buffer and keeps the release of the trace file modifying the same data as the open did.

* ring-buffer: Optimize rb_iter_head_event()Steven Rostedt (VMware)2020-03-201-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | As it is fine to perform several "peeks" of event data in the ring buffer via the iterator before moving it forward, do not re-read the event, just return what was read before. Otherwise, it can cause inconsistent results, especially when testing multiple CPU buffers to interleave them.

* ring-buffer: Do not die if rb_iter_peek() fails more than thriceSteven Rostedt (VMware)2020-03-201-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | As the iterator will be reading a live buffer, and if the event being read is on a page that a writer crosses, it will fail and try again, the condition in rb_iter_peek() that only allows a retry to happen three times is no longer valid. Allow rb_iter_peek() to retry more than three times without killing the ring buffer, but only if rb_iter_head_event() had failed at least once.

* ring-buffer: Add page_stamp to iterator for synchronizationSteven Rostedt (VMware)2020-03-201-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Have the ring_buffer_iter structure contain a page_stamp, such that it can be used to see if the writer entered the page the iterator is on. When going to a new page, the iterator will record the time stamp of that page. When reading events, it can copy the event to an internal buffer on the iterator (to be implemented later), then check the page's time stamp with its own to see if the writer entered the page. If so, it will need to try to read the event again. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200317213416.163549674@goodmis.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* ring-buffer: Rename ring_buffer_read() to read_buffer_iter_advance()Steven Rostedt (VMware)2020-03-201-17/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_empty() not depend on tracing stoppedSteven Rostedt (VMware)2020-03-201-2/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was complained about that when the trace file is read, that the tracing is disabled, as the iterator expects writing to the buffer it reads is not updated. Several steps are needed to make the iterator handle a writer, by testing if things have changed as it reads. This step is to make ring_buffer_empty() expect the buffer to be changing. Note if the current location of the iterator is overwritten, then it will return false as new data is being added. Note, that this means that data will be skipped.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* tracing: Do not create directories if lockdown is in affectSteven Rostedt (VMware)2019-12-041-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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()).

* ring-buffer: Remove HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESSSteven Rostedt (VMware)2019-05-281-13/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c19fa94a8fed ("Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS") added the config for architectures that required 64bit aligned access for all 64bit words. As the ftrace ring buffer stores data on 4 byte alignment, this config option was used to force it to store data on 8 byte alignment to make sure the data being stored and written directly into the ring buffer was 8 byte aligned as it would cause issues trying to write an 8 byte word on a 4 not 8 byte aligned memory location. But with the removal of the metag architecture, which was the only architecture to use this, there is no architecture supported by Linux that requires 8 byte aligne access for all 8 byte words (4 byte alignment is good enough). Removing this config can simplify the code a bit. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* tracing: kdb: Fix ftdump to not sleepDouglas Anderson2019-03-131-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context". kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in atomic context. A very simple solution for this is to add allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without triggering the allocation error. This patch does that. Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer ahead of time or create our own iterator. I'm hoping that this alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already allocated). NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the duplication. This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer). The downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer. Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump | grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it will throw away the whole trace on the first grep. A future patch to dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to implement.

* ring-buffer: Allow for rescheduling when removing pagesVaibhav Nagarnaik2018-09-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When reducing ring buffer size, pages are removed by scheduling a work item on each CPU for the corresponding CPU ring buffer. After the pages are removed from ring buffer linked list, the pages are free()d in a tight loop. The loop does not give up CPU until all pages are removed. In a worst case behavior, when lot of pages are to be freed, it can cause system stall. After the pages are removed from the list, the free() can happen while the work is rescheduled. Call cond_resched() in the loop to prevent the system hangup.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching to the trace buffer snapshot. Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer (max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 1 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on 0 We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As si_mem_available() can say there is enough memory even though the memory available is not useable by the ring buffer, it is best to not kill innocent applications because the ring buffer is taking up all the memory while it is trying to allocate a great deal of memory.

* ring-buffer: Check if memory is available before allocationSteven Rostedt (VMware)2018-04-061-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ring buffer is made up of a link list of pages. When making the ring buffer bigger, it will allocate all the pages it needs before adding to the ring buffer, and if it fails, it frees them and returns an error. This makes increasing the ring buffer size an all or nothing action. When this was first created, the pages were allocated with "NORETRY". This was to not cause any Out-Of-Memory (OOM) actions from allocating the ring buffer. But NORETRY was too strict, as the ring buffer would fail to expand even when there's memory available, but was taken up in the page cache. Commit 848618857d253 ("tracing/ring_buffer: Try harder to allocate") changed the allocating from NORETRY to RETRY_MAYFAIL. The RETRY_MAYFAIL would allocate from the page cache, but if there was no memory available, it would simple fail the allocation and not trigger an OOM. This worked fine, but had one problem. As the ring buffer would allocate one page at a time, it could take up all memory in the system before it failed to allocate and free that memory. If the allocation is happening and the ring buffer allocates all memory and then tries to take more than available, its allocation will not trigger an OOM, but if there's any allocation that happens someplace else, that could trigger an OOM, even though once the ring buffer's allocation fails, it would free up all the previous memory it tried to allocate, and allow other memory allocations to succeed. Commit d02bd27bd33dd ("mm/page_alloc.c: calculate 'available' memory in a separate function") separated out si_mem_availble() as a separate function that could be used to see how much memory is available in the system. Using this function to make sure that the ring buffer could be allocated before it tries to allocate pages we can avoid allocating all memory in the system and making it vulnerable to OOMs if other allocations are taking place.

* ring-buffer: Add nesting for adding events within eventsSteven Rostedt (VMware)2018-03-101-3/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ring-buffer code has recusion protection in case tracing ends up tracing itself, the ring-buffer will detect that it was called at the same context (normal, softirq, interrupt or NMI), and not continue to record the event. With the histogram synthetic events, they are called while tracing another event at the same context. The recusion protection triggers because it detects tracing at the same context and stops it. Add ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end() that will notify the ring buffer that a trace is about to happen within another trace and that it is intended, and not to trigger the recursion blocking.

* ring-buffer: Redefine the unimplemented RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMPTom Zanussi2018-03-101-28/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP is defined but not used, and from what I can gather was reserved for something like an absolute timestamp feature for the ring buffer, if not a complete replacement of the current time_delta scheme. This code redefines RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP to implement absolute time stamps. Another way to look at it is that it essentially forces extended time_deltas for all events. The motivation for doing this is to enable time_deltas that aren't dependent on previous events in the ring buffer, making it feasible to use the ring_buffer_event timetamps in a more random-access way, for purposes other than serial event printing. To set/reset this mode, use tracing_set_timestamp_abs() from the previous interface patch.

I hadn't touched those in this series - it's large enough as it is. Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are arch-independent, but POLL### are not. The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll() work on all architectures. As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other architectures.

This would prevent the ring buffer code from recursively calling itself more than the max number of contexts that exist (Normal, softirq, irq, nmi). But this change caused a lockup in a specific case, which was during suspend and resume using a global clock. Adding a stack dump to see where this occurred, the issue was in the trace global clock itself: trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1c/0x50 __trace_graph_entry+0x2d/0x90 trace_graph_entry+0xe8/0x200 prepare_ftrace_return+0x69/0xc0 ftrace_graph_caller+0x78/0xa8 queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x5/0x1d0 trace_clock_global+0xb0/0xc0 ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0xf9/0x390 The function graph tracer traced queued_spin_lock_slowpath that was called by trace_clock_global. This pointed out that the trace_clock_global() is not reentrant, as it takes a spin lock. It depended on the ring buffer recursive lock from letting that happen. By removing the context detection and adding just a max number of allowable recursions, it allowed the trace_clock_global() to be entered again and try to retake the spinlock it already held, causing a deadlock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To free the reader page that is allocated with ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(), ring_buffer_free_read_page() must be called. For faster performance, this page can be reused by the ring buffer to avoid having to free and allocate new pages. The issue arises when the page is used with a splice pipe into the networking code. The networking code may up the page counter for the page, and keep it active while sending it is queued to go to the network. The incrementing of the page ref does not prevent it from being reused in the ring buffer, and this can cause the page that is being sent out to the network to be modified before it is sent by reading new data. Add a check to the page ref counter, and only reuse the page if it is not being used anywhere else.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two info bits were added to the "commit" part of the ring buffer data page when returned to be consumed. This was to inform the user space readers that events have been missed, and that the count may be stored at the end of the page. What wasn't handled, was the splice code that actually called a function to return the length of the data in order to zero out the rest of the page before sending it up to user space. These data bits were returned with the length making the value negative, and that negative value was not checked. It was compared to PAGE_SIZE, and only used if the size was less than PAGE_SIZE. Luckily PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long which made the compare an unsigned compare, meaning the negative size value did not end up causing a large portion of memory to be randomly zeroed out.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current method to prevent the ring buffer from entering into a recursize loop is to use a bitmask and set the bit that maps to the current context (normal, softirq, irq or NMI), and if that bit was already set, it is considered a recursive loop. New code is being added that may require the ring buffer to be entered a second time in the current context. The recursive locking prevents that from happening. Instead of mapping a bitmask to the current context, just allow 4 levels of nesting in the ring buffer. This matches the 4 context levels that it can already nest. It is highly unlikely to have more than two levels, thus it should be fine when we add the second entry into the ring buffer. If that proves to be a problem, we can always up the number to 8. An added benefit is that reading preempt_count() to get the current level adds a very slight but noticeable overhead. This removes that need.
