| * tracing: Remove locking trace_types_lock from tracing_reset_all_online_cpus()Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-07-261-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit a82274151af "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c" added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock. This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often which explains why it wasn't caught right away. Commit a82274151af was marked for stable, which means this must be sent to stable too.

| * ftrace: Add check for NULL regs if ops has SAVE_REGS setSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)2013-07-241-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a ftrace ops is registered with the SAVE_REGS flag set, and there's already a ops registered to one of its functions but without the SAVE_REGS flag, there's a small race window where the SAVE_REGS ops gets added to the list of callbacks to call for that function before the callback trampoline gets set to save the regs. The problem is, the function is not currently saving regs, which opens a small race window where the ops that is expecting regs to be passed to it, wont. This can cause a crash if the callback were to reference the regs, as the SAVE_REGS guarantees that regs will be set. To fix this, we add a check in the loop case where it checks if the ops has the SAVE_REGS flag set, and if so, it will ignore it if regs is not set.

| * tracing: Introduce trace_create_cpu_file() and tracing_get_cpu()Oleg Nesterov2013-07-241-14/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy. f_op->open/etc does: 1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private; struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr; 2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail; 3. do_something(tc); But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called. And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad. Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the freed/reused memory. Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper, tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS. The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers, it would be trivial to change them if needed. This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations. Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

As unified hierarchy will always have id 1, this is guaranteed to return the path for the unified hierarchy if mounted; otherwise, it will return the path from the hierarchy which happens to occupy the lowest hierarchy id, which will usually be the first hierarchy mounted after boot.

And it seems that almost every user of trace_seq in this file should be converted too.

Say, FORMAT_FIELD_SEPERATOR should not return NULL (means EOF) if trace_get_fields() returns an empty list, we should simply advance to FORMAT_PRINTFMT as we do when we find the end of list. 1. Change f_next() to return "struct list_head *" rather than "ftrace_event_field *", and change f_show() to do list_entry(). This simplifies the code a bit, only f_show() needs to know about ftrace_event_field, and f_next() can play with ->prev directly 2. Change f_next() to not play with ->prev / return inside the switch() statement. It can simply set node = head/common_head, the prev-or-advance-to-the-next-magic below does all work. While at it. f_start() looks overcomplicated too. I don't think *pos == 0 makes sense as a separate case, just change this code to do "while" instead of "do/while". The patch also moves f_start() down, close to f_stop(). This is purely cosmetic, just to make the locking added by the next patch more clear/visible.

The "tracer" structs that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures need to be annotated with __ref_data. Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next" pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to wait till the next major release.

The first of them was buggy (it did way much more than it needed to do) and the second one attempted to fix an issue introduced by the first one. Fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat revert both. - If autosleep triggers during system shutdown and the shutdown callbacks of some device drivers have been called already, it may crash the system. Fix from Liu Shuo prevents that from happening by making try_to_suspend() check system_state. - The ACPI memory hotplug driver doesn't clear its driver_data on errors which may cause a NULL poiter dereference to happen later. Fix from Toshi Kani. - The ACPI namespace scanning code should not try to attach scan handlers to device objects that have them already, which may confuse things quite a bit, and it should rescan the whole namespace branch starting at the given node after receiving a bus check notify event even if the device at that particular node has been discovered already.

This has the side-effect of causing the dummy clockevent to be registered first in every hotplug sequence. Because the dummy is first, we'll try to turn the broadcast source on but the code in tick_device_uses_broadcast() assumes the broadcast source is in periodic mode and calls tick_broadcast_start_periodic() unconditionally. On boot this isn't a problem because we typically haven't switched into oneshot mode yet (if at all). During hotplug, if the broadcast source isn't in periodic mode we'll replace the broadcast oneshot handler with the broadcast periodic handler and start emulating oneshot mode when we shouldn't. Due to the way the broadcast oneshot handler programs the next_event it's possible for it to contain KTIME_MAX and cause us to hang the system when the periodic handler tries to program the next tick. Fix this by using the appropriate function to start the broadcast source.

The user can still enable it later on runtime using proc or sysctl.

Now we really need to find clearer names because those are just too confusing to encourage deep review. watchdog_enabled now becomes watchdog_user_enabled to reflect its purpose as an interface. watchdog_disabled becomes watchdog_running to suggest its role as a pure internal state.

This method involves a few noisy details to handle though: the watchdog kthreads may be unparked anytime due to hotplug operations, after which the watchdog internals have to decide to park again if it is user-disabled. As a result the setup() and unpark() methods need to be able to request a reparking. This is not currently supported in the kthread infrastructure so this piece of the watchdog code only works halfway. Besides, unparking/reparking the watchdog kthreads consume unnecessary cputime on hotplug operations when those could be simply ignored in the first place. As suggested by Srivatsa, let's instead only register the watchdog threads when they are needed. This way we don't need to think about hotplug operations and we don't burden the CPU onlining when the watchdog is simply disabled. Suggested-by: Srivatsa S.

We do not want users thinking that they are getting the benefit of nohz when their machine can not support it. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.
