ftrace: Have set_graph_* files have normal file modes

2018-05-03T15:55:31+00:00

The set_graph_function and set_graph_notrace file mode should be 0644
instead of 0444 as they are writeable. Note, the mode appears to be ignored
regardless, but they should at least look sane.

ftrace: Drop a VLA in module_exists()

2018-04-06T12:56:48+00:00

Avoid a VLA by using a real constant expression instead of a variable.
The compiler should be able to optimize the original code and avoid using
an actual VLA. Anyway this change is useful because it will avoid a false
positive with -Wvla, it might also help the compiler generating better
code.

ftrace: Remove incorrect setting of glob search field

2018-02-08T15:11:11+00:00

__unregister_ftrace_function_probe() will incorrectly parse the glob filter
because it resets the search variable that was setup by filter_parse_regex().

Al Viro reported this:

    After that call of filter_parse_regex() we could have func_g.search not
    equal to glob only if glob started with '!' or '*'.  In the former case
    we would've buggered off with -EINVAL (not = 1).  In the latter we
    would've set func_g.search equal to glob + 1, calculated the length of
    that thing in func_g.len and proceeded to reset func_g.search back to
    glob.

    Suppose the glob is e.g. *foo*.  We end up with
	    func_g.type = MATCH_MIDDLE_ONLY;
	    func_g.len = 3;
	    func_g.search = "*foo";
    Feeding that to ftrace_match_record() will not do anything sane - we
    will be looking for names containing "*foo" (->len is ignored for that
    one).

tracing: Make sure the parsed string always terminates with '\0'

2018-01-23T20:57:28+00:00

Always mark the parsed string with a terminated nul '\0' character. This removes
the need for the users to have to append the '\0' before using the parsed string.

ftrace, orc, x86: Handle ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines

2018-01-23T20:56:55+00:00

The function tracer can create a dynamically allocated trampoline that is
called by the function mcount or fentry hook that is used to call the
function callback that is registered. The problem is that the orc undwinder
will bail if it encounters one of these trampolines. This breaks the stack
trace of function callbacks, which include the stack tracer and setting the
stack trace for individual functions.

Since these dynamic trampolines are basically copies of the static ftrace
trampolines defined in ftrace_*.S, we do not need to create new orc entries
for the dynamic trampolines. Finding the return address on the stack will be
identical as the functions that were copied to create the dynamic
trampolines. When encountering a ftrace dynamic trampoline, we can just use
the orc entry of the ftrace static function that was copied for that
trampoline.

ftrace: Clear hashes of stale ips of init memory

2017-10-10T22:59:16+00:00

Filters should be cleared of init functions during freeing of init
memory when the ftrace dyn records are released. However in current
code, the filters are left as is. This patch clears the hashes of the
saved init functions when the init memory is freed. This fixes the
following issue reproducible with the following sequence of commands for
a test module:
================================================

void bar(void)
{
    printk(KERN_INFO "bar!\n");
}

void foo(void)
{
    printk(KERN_INFO "foo!\n");
    bar();
}

static int __init hello_init(void)
{
    printk(KERN_INFO "Hello world!\n");
    foo();
    return 0;
}

static void __exit hello_cleanup(void)
{
    printk(KERN_INFO "Cleaning up module.\n");
}

module_init(hello_init);
module_exit(hello_cleanup);
================================================

Commands:
echo '*:mod:test' > /d/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
echo function > /d/tracing/current_tracer
modprobe test
rmmod test
sleep 1
modprobe test
cat /d/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

Behavior without patch: Init function is still in the filter
Expected behavior: Shouldn't have any of the filters set

ftrace/kallsyms: Have /proc/kallsyms show saved mod init functions

2017-10-06T03:10:42+00:00

If a module is loaded while tracing is enabled, then there's a possibility
that the module init functions were traced. These functions have their name
and address stored by ftrace such that it can translate the function address
that is written into the buffer into a human readable function name.

As userspace tools may be doing the same, they need a way to map function
names to their address as well. This is done through reading /proc/kallsyms.

ftrace: Add freeing algorithm to free ftrace_mod_maps

2017-10-05T21:57:34+00:00

The ftrace_mod_map is a descriptor to save module init function names in
case they were traced, and the trace output needs to reference the function
name from the function address. But after the function is unloaded, it
the maps should be freed, as the rest of the function names are as well.
