tracing: Fix memory leak on instance deletion · a9fcaaac

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored Jun 06, 2014



When an instance is created, it also gets a snapshot ring buffer
allocated (with minimum of pages). But when it is deleted the snapshot
buffer is not. There was a helper function added to match the allocation
of these ring buffers to a way to free them, but it wasn't used by
the deletion of an instance. Using that helper function solves this
memory leak.

tracing: Fix leak of ring buffer data when new instances creation fails · 23aaa3c1

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored Jun 06, 2014



Yoshihiro Yunomae reported that the ring buffer data for a trace
instance does not get properly cleaned up when it fails. He proposed
a patch that manually cleaned the data up and addad a bunch of labels.
The labels are not needed because all trace array is allocated with
a kzalloc which initializes it to 0 and all kfree()s can take a NULL
pointer and will ignore it.

Adding a new helper function free_trace_buffers() that can also take
null buffers to free the buffers that were allocated by
allocate_trace_buffers().

tracing/kprobes: Avoid self tests if tracing is disabled on boot up · 748ec3a2

Yoshihiro YUNOMAE authored Jun 06, 2014

If tracing is disabled on boot up, the kernel should not execute tracing
self tests. The kernel should check whether tracing is disabled or not
before executing any of the tracing self tests.

tracing: Return error if ftrace_trace_arrays list is empty · dc81e5e3

Yoshihiro YUNOMAE authored Jun 06, 2014

ftrace_trace_arrays links global_trace.list. However, global_trace
is not added to ftrace_trace_arrays if trace_alloc_buffers() failed.
As the result, ftrace_trace_arrays becomes an empty list. If
ftrace_trace_arrays is an empty list, current top_trace_array() returns
an invalid pointer. As the result, the kernel can induce memory corruption
or panic.

Current implementation does not check whether ftrace_trace_arrays is empty
list or not. So, in this patch, if ftrace_trace_arrays is empty list,
top_trace_array() returns NULL. Moreover, this patch makes all functions
calling top_trace_array() handle it appropriately.

tracing: Only calculate stats of tracepoint benchmarks for 2^32 times · 34839f5a

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored Jun 05, 2014



When calculating the average and standard deviation, it is required that
the count be less than UINT_MAX, otherwise the do_div() will get
undefined results. After 2^32 counts of data, the average and standard
deviation should pretty much be set anyway.

tracing: Convert stddev into u64 in tracepoint benchmark · 72e2fe38

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored Jun 05, 2014



I've been told that do_div() expects an unsigned 64 bit number, and
is undefined if a signed is used. This gave a warning on the MIPS
build. I'm not sure if a signed 64 bit dividend is really an issue
or not, but the calculation this is used for is standard deviation,
and that isn't going to be negative. We can just convert it to
unsigned and be safe.

tracing: Introduce saved_cmdlines_size file · 939c7a4f

Yoshihiro YUNOMAE authored Jun 05, 2014



Introduce saved_cmdlines_size file for changing the number of saved pid-comms.
saved_cmdlines currently stores 128 command names using SAVED_CMDLINES, but
'no-existing processes' names are often lost in saved_cmdlines when we
read the trace data. So, by introducing saved_cmdlines_size file, we can
now change the 128 command names saved to something much larger if needed.

When we write a value to saved_cmdlines_size, the number of the value will
be stored in pid-comm list:

	# echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/saved_cmdlines_size

Here, 1024 command names can be stored. The default number is 128 and the maximum
number is PID_MAX_DEFAULT (=32768 if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is not set). So, if we
want to avoid losing any command names, we need to set 32768 to
saved_cmdlines_size.

We can read the maximum number of the list:

	# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/saved_cmdlines_size
	128

tracing: Add __get_dynamic_array_len() macro for trace events · beba4bb0

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored Jun 04, 2014



If a trace event uses a dynamic array for something other than a string
then there's currently no way the TP_printk() can figure out what size
it is. A __get_dynamic_array_len() is required to know the length.

This also simplifies the __get_bitmask() macro which required it as well,
but instead just hardcoded it.

tracing: Eliminate double free on failure of allocation on boot up · 198376cd

Yoshihiro YUNOMAE authored Jun 03, 2014

If allocation of the max_buffer fails on boot up, the error path will
free both per_cpu data structures from the buffers. With the new redesign
of the code, those structures are freed if allocations failed. That is,
the helper function that allocates the buffers will free the per cpu data
on failure. No need to do it again. In fact, the second free will cause
a bug as the code can not handle a double free.

ftrace/x86: Call text_ip_addr() instead of the duplicated code · 964f7b6b

Petr Mladek authored Jun 03, 2014

I just went over this when looking at some Xen-related ftrace initialization
problems. They were related to Xen code that is not upstream but this clean up
would make sense here.

I think that this was already the intention when text_ip_addr() was introduced
in the commit 87fbb2ac

 (ftrace/x86: Use breakpoints for converting
function graph caller). Anyway, better do it now before it shots people into
their leg ;-)

tracing: Print max callstack on stacktrace bug · e3172181

Minchan Kim authored Jun 02, 2014



While I played with my own feature(ex, something on the way to reclaim),
the kernel would easily oops. I guessed that the reason had to do with
stack overflow and wanted to prove it.

I discovered the stack tracer which proved to be very useful for me but
the kernel would oops before my user program gather the information via
"watch cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/stack_trace" so I couldn't get any
message from that. What I needed was to have the stack tracer emit the
kernel stack usage before it does the oops so I could find what was
hogging the stack.

This patch shows the callstack of max stack usage right before an oops so
we can find a culprit.

So, the result is as follows.

tracing: Move locking of trace_cmdline_lock into start/stop seq calls · 4c27e756

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored May 30, 2014

With the conversion of the saved_cmdlines output to use seq_read, there
is now a race between accessing the values of the saved_cmdlines and
the writing to them. The trace_cmdline_lock needs to be taken at
the start and stop of the seq calls.

A new __trace_find_cmdline() call is created to allow for the look up
to happen without taking the lock.

tracing: Try again for saved cmdline if failed due to locking · 379cfdac

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored May 30, 2014

In order to prevent the saved cmdline cache from being filled when
tracing is not active, the comms are only recorded after a trace event
is recorded.

The problem is, a comm can fail to be recorded if the trace_cmdline_lock
is held. That lock is taken via a trylock to allow it to happen from
any context (including NMI). If the lock fails to be taken, the comm
is skipped. No big deal, as we will try again later.

But! Because of the code that was added to only record after an event,
we may not try again later as the recording is made as a oneshot per
event per CPU.

Only disable the recording of the comm if the comm is actually recorded.

tracing: Have saved_cmdlines use the seq_read infrastructure · 42584c81

Yoshihiro YUNOMAE authored Feb 20, 2014



Current tracing_saved_cmdlines_read() implementation is naive; It allocates
a large buffer, constructs output data to that buffer for each read
operation, and then copies a portion of the buffer to the user space
buffer. This has several issues such as slow memory allocation, high
CPU usage, and even corruption of the output data.

The seq_read infrastructure is made to handle this type of work.
By converting it to use seq_read() the code becomes smaller, simplified,
as well as correct.

tracing: Add tracepoint benchmark tracepoint · 81dc9f0e

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored May 29, 2014



In order to help benchmark the time tracepoints take, a new config
option is added called CONFIG_TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK. When this option
is set a tracepoint is created called "benchmark:benchmark_event".
When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
"START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.

As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.

An example of the output:

     START
     first=3672 [COLD CACHED]
     last=632 first=3672 max=632 min=632 avg=316 std=446 std^2=199712

tracing: Print nasty banner when trace_printk() is in use · 2184db46

Steven Rostedt authored May 28, 2014



trace_printk() is used to debug fast paths within the kernel. Places
that gets called in any context (interrupt or NMI) or thousands of
times a second. Something you do not want to do with a printk().

In order to make it completely lockless as it needs a temporary buffer
to handle some of the string formatting, a page is created per cpu for
every context (four per cpu; normal, softirq, irq, NMI).

Since trace_printk() should only be used for debugging purposes,
there's no reason to waste memory on these buffers on a production
system. That means, trace_printk() should never be used unless a
developer is debugging their kernel. There's macro magic to allocate
the buffers if trace_printk() is used anywhere in the kernel.

To help enforce that trace_printk() isn't used outside of development,
when it is used, a nasty banner is displayed on bootup (or when a module
is loaded that uses trace_printk() and the kernel core does not).

Here's the banner:

 **********************************************************
 **   NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE   **
 **                                                      **

 **                                                      **
 ** This means that this is a DEBUG kernel and it is     **
 ** unsafe for produciton use.                           **
 **                                                      **

That should hopefully keep developers from trying to sneak in a

tracing: Add __bitmask() macro to trace events to cpumasks and other bitmasks · 4449bf92

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored May 06, 2014



Being able to show a cpumask of events can be useful as some events
may affect only some CPUs. There is no standard way to record the
cpumask and converting it to a string is rather expensive during
the trace as traces happen in hotpaths. It would be better to record
the raw event mask and be able to parse it at print time.

The following macros were added for use with the TRACE_EVENT() macro:

  __bitmask()
  __assign_bitmask()
  __get_bitmask()

To test this, I added this to the sched_migrate_task event, which
looked like this:

TRACE_EVENT(sched_migrate_task,

	TP_PROTO(struct task_struct *p, int dest_cpu, const struct cpumask *cpus),

	TP_ARGS(p, dest_cpu, cpus),

	TP_STRUCT__entry(
		__array(	char,	comm,	TASK_COMM_LEN	)
		__field(	pid_t,	pid			)
		__field(	int,	prio			)
		__field(	int,	orig_cpu		)
		__field(	int,	dest_cpu		)
		__bitmask(	cpumask, num_possible_cpus()	)
	),

	TP_fast_assign(
		memcpy(__entry->comm, p->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
		__entry->pid		= p->pid;
		__entry->prio		= p->prio;
		__entry->orig_cpu	= task_cpu(p);
		__entry->dest_cpu	= dest_cpu;
		__assign_bitmask(cpumask, cpumask_bits(cpus), num_possible_cpus());
	),

	TP_printk("comm=%s pid=%d prio=%d orig_cpu=%d dest_cpu=%d cpumask=%s",
		  __entry->comm, __entry->pid, __entry->prio,
		  __entry->orig_cpu, __entry->dest_cpu,
		  __get_bitmask(cpumask))
);

With the output of:

This moves these two helper functions in the generic code out from

a bit easier to work on getting separate trampolines for different

But gcc seems to want to make it a call. As this is in an extreme
hot path of the function tracer, there's no reason it needs to be
a call. I only wrote it to be a helper function anyway, otherwise
it would have been inlined manually.

Force gcc to inline it, as it could have also been a macro.

ftrace: Write in missing comment from a very old commit · 19eab4a4

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored May 07, 2014

Back in 2011 Commit ed926f9b

 "ftrace: Use counters to enable
functions to trace" changed the way ftrace accounts for enabled
and disabled traced functions. There was a comment started as:

	/*
	 *
	 */

But never finished. Well, that's rather useless. I probably forgot
to save the file before committing it. And it passed review from all
this time.

Anyway, better late than never. I updated the comment to express what
is happening in that somewhat complex code.

ftrace: Remove boolean of hash_enable and hash_disable · 66209a5b

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored May 06, 2014

Commit 4104d326

 "ftrace: Remove global function list and call
function directly" cleaned up the global_ops filtering and made
the code simpler, but it left a variable "hash_enable" that was used
to know if the hash functions should be updated or not. It was
updated if the global_ops did not override them. As the global_ops
are now no different than any other ftrace_ops, the hash always
gets updated and there's no reason to use the hash_enable boolean.

The same goes for hash_disable used in ftrace_shutdown().

tracing: Add trace_<tracepoint>_enabled() function · 7c65bbc7

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored May 06, 2014



There are some code paths in the kernel that need to do some preparations
before it calls a tracepoint. As that code is worthless overhead when
the tracepoint is not enabled, it would be prudent to have that code
only run when the tracepoint is active. To accomplish this, all tracepoints
now get a static inline function called "trace_<tracepoint-name>_enabled()"
which returns true when the tracepoint is enabled and false otherwise.

As an added bonus, that function uses the static_key of the tracepoint
such that no branch is needed.

  if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled()) {
	arg = process_tp_arg();
	trace_mytracepoint(arg);
  }

Will keep the "process_tp_arg()" (which may be expensive to run) from
being executed when the tracepoint isn't enabled.

It's best to encapsulate the tracepoint itself in the if statement
just to keep races. For example, if you had:

  if (trace_mytracepoint_enabled())
	arg = process_tp_arg();
  trace_mytracepoint(arg);

There's a chance that the tracepoint could be enabled just after the
if statement, and arg will be undefined when calling the tracepoint.

tracing: Remove myself as a tracing maintainer · 3415c28c

Frederic Weisbecker authored May 03, 2014



It has been a while since I last sent a tracing patch. I always keep an
eye on tracing evolutions and contributions in general but given
how busy I am with nohz, isolation and more generally core cleanups stuff,
I seldom have time left to provide deep reviews of tracing patches nor
simply for reviews to begin with.

I've been very lucky to start kernel development on a very young subsystem
with tons of low hanging fruits back in 2008. Given that it deals with
a lot of tricky stuffs all around (sched, timers, irq, preemption, NMIs,
SMP, RCU, ....) I basically learned everything there.

Steve has been doing most of the incredible work these last years.
Thanks a lot!

Of course consider me always available to help on tracing if any hard
days happen.

tracing: Remove mock up poll wait function · b1169cc6

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored Apr 29, 2014



Now that the ring buffer has a built in way to wake up readers
when there's data, using irq_work such that it is safe to do it
in any context. But it was still using the old "poor man's"
wait polling that checks every 1/10 of a second to see if it
should wake up a waiter. This makes the latency for a wake up
excruciatingly long. No need to do that anymore.

Completely remove the different wait_poll types from the tracers
and have them all use the default one now.

tracing: Break out of tracing_wait_pipe() before wait_pipe() is called · f4874261

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored Apr 29, 2014

When reading from trace_pipe, if tracing is off but nothing was read
it should block. If something is read and tracing is off, then EOF
is returned. If tracing is on and there's nothing to read, it will block.

But because the check of whether tracing is off and something was read
is done after the block on the pipe, it is hit or miss if the EOF is
returned or not leading to inconsistent behavior.

  5)     2688      12   activate_task+0x22/0x30

Add a function using_ftrace_ops_list_func() to test for this while keeping
ftrace_ops_list_func to remain static.
