When two function probes are added to set_ftrace_filter, and then one of them is removed, the update to the function locations is not performed, and the record keeping of the function states are corrupted, and causes an ftrace_bug() to occur. This is easily reproducable by adding two probes, removing one, and then adding it back again. # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo schedule:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter # echo do_IRQ:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter # echo \!do_IRQ:traceoff > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # echo do_IRQ:traceoff > set_ftrace_filter Causes: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1098 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2369 ftrace_get_addr_curr+0x143/0x220 Modules linked in: [...] CPU: 2 PID: 1098 Comm: bash Not tainted 4.10.0-test+ #405 Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF/339A, BIOS K01 v02.05 05/07/2012 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x68/0x9f __warn+0x111/0x130 ? trace_irq_work_interrupt+0xa0/0xa0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 ftrace_get_addr_curr+0x143/0x220 ? __fentry__+0x10/0x10 ftrace_replace_code+0xe3/0x4f0 ? ftrace_int3_handler+0x90/0x90 ? printk+0x99/0xb5 ? 0xffffffff81000000 ftrace_modify_all_code+0x97/0x110 arch_ftrace_update_code+0x10/0x20 ftrace_run_update_code+0x1c/0x60 ftrace_run_modify_code.isra.48.constprop.62+0x8e/0xd0 register_ftrace_function_probe+0x4b6/0x590 ? ftrace_startup+0x310/0x310 ? debug_lockdep_rcu_enabled.part.4+0x1a/0x30 ? update_stack_state+0x88/0x110 ? ftrace_regex_write.isra.43.part.44+0x1d3/0x320 ? preempt_count_sub+0x18/0xd0 ? mutex_lock_nested+0x104/0x800 ? ftrace_regex_write.isra.43.part.44+0x1d3/0x320 ? __unwind_start+0x1c0/0x1c0 ? _mutex_lock_nest_lock+0x800/0x800 ftrace_trace_probe_callback.isra.3+0xc0/0x130 ? func_set_flag+0xe0/0xe0 ? __lock_acquire+0x642/0x1790 ? __might_fault+0x1e/0x20 ? trace_get_user+0x398/0x470 ? strcmp+0x35/0x60 ftrace_trace_onoff_callback+0x48/0x70 ftrace_regex_write.isra.43.part.44+0x251/0x320 ? match_records+0x420/0x420 ftrace_filter_write+0x2b/0x30 __vfs_write+0xd7/0x330 ? do_loop_readv_writev+0x120/0x120 ? locks_remove_posix+0x90/0x2f0 ? do_lock_file_wait+0x160/0x160 ? __lock_is_held+0x93/0x100 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x5c/0xb0 ? preempt_count_sub+0x18/0xd0 ? __sb_start_write+0x10a/0x230 ? vfs_write+0x222/0x240 vfs_write+0xef/0x240 SyS_write+0xab/0x130 ?

Stack tracing discovered that there's a small location inside the RCU infrastructure where calling rcu_irq_enter() does not work. As trace events use rcu_irq_enter() it must make sure that it is functionable. A check against rcu_irq_enter_disabled() is added with a WARN_ON_ONCE() as no trace event should ever be used in that part of RCU. If the warning is triggered, then the trace event is ignored. Restructure the __DO_TRACE() a bit to get rid of the prercu and postrcu, and just have an rcucheck that does the work from within the _DO_TRACE() macro. gcc optimization will compile out the rcucheck=0 case.

Tracing uses rcu_irq_enter() as a way to make sure that RCU is watching when it needs to use rcu_read_lock() and friends. This is because tracing can happen as RCU is about to enter user space, or about to go idle, and RCU does not watch for RCU read side critical sections as it makes the transition. There is a small location within the RCU infrastructure that rcu_irq_enter() itself will not work. If tracing were to occur in that section it will break if it tries to use rcu_irq_enter(). Originally, this happens with the stack_tracer, because it will call save_stack_trace when it encounters stack usage that is greater than any stack usage it had encountered previously. There was a case where that happened in the RCU section where rcu_irq_enter() did not work, and lockdep complained loudly about it. To fix it, stack tracing added a call to be disabled and RCU would disable stack tracing during the critical section that rcu_irq_enter() was inoperable. This solution worked, but there are other cases that use rcu_irq_enter() and it would be a good idea to let RCU give a way to let others know that rcu_irq_enter() will not work. For example, in trace events. Another helpful aspect of this change is that it also moves the per cpu variable called in the RCU critical section into a cache locale along with other RCU per cpu variables used in that same location. I'm keeping the stack_trace_disable() code, as that still could be used in the future by places that really need to disable it. And since it's only a static inline, it wont take up any kernel text if it is not used. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170405093207.404f8deb@gandalf.local.home Acked-by:

The tracing subsystem started using rcu_irq_entry() and rcu_irq_exit() (with my blessing) to allow the current _rcuidle alternative tracepoint name to be dispensed with while still maintaining good performance. Unfortunately, this causes RCU's dyntick-idle entry code's tracing to appear to RCU like an interrupt that occurs where RCU is not designed to handle interrupts. This commit fixes this problem by moving the zeroing of ->dynticks_nesting after the offending trace_rcu_dyntick() statement, which narrows the window of vulnerability to a pair of adjacent statements that are now marked with comments to that effect.

There are certain parts of the kernel that cannot let stack tracing proceed (namely in RCU), because the stack tracer uses RCU, and parts of RCU internals cannot handle having RCU read side locks taken. Add stack_tracer_disable() and stack_tracer_enable() functions to let RCU stop stack tracing on the current CPU when it is in those critical sections. Signed-off-by:

The function tracer needs to be more careful than other subsystems when it comes to freeing data. Especially if that data is actually executable code. When a single function is traced, a trampoline can be dynamically allocated which is called to jump to the function trace callback. When the callback is no longer needed, the dynamic allocated trampoline needs to be freed. This is where the issues arise. The dynamically allocated trampoline must not be used again. As function tracing can trace all subsystems, including subsystems that are used to serialize aspects of freeing (namely RCU), it must take extra care when doing the freeing. Before synchronize_rcu_tasks() was around, there was no way for the function tracer to know that nothing was using the dynamically allocated trampoline when CONFIG_PREEMPT was enabled. That's because a task could be indefinitely preempted while sitting on the trampoline. Now with synchronize_rcu_tasks(), it will wait till all tasks have either voluntarily scheduled (not on the trampoline) or goes into userspace (not on the trampoline). Then it is safe to free the trampoline even with CONFIG_PREEMPT set. Acked-by:

When a kretprobe is installed on a kernel function, there is a maximum limit of how many calls in parallel it can catch (aka "maxactive"). A kernel module could call register_kretprobe() and initialize maxactive (see example in samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c). But that is not exposed to userspace and it is currently not possible to choose maxactive when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events The default maxactive can be as low as 1 on single-core with a non-preemptive kernel. This is too low and we need to increase it not only for recursive functions, but for functions that sleep or resched. This patch updates the format of the command that can be written to kprobe_events so that maxactive can be optionally specified. I need this for a bpf program attached to the kretprobe of inet_csk_accept, which can sleep for a long time. This patch includes a basic selftest: > # ./ftracetest -v test.d/kprobe/ > === Ftrace unit tests === > [1] Kprobe dynamic event - adding and removing [PASS] > [2] Kprobe dynamic event - busy event check [PASS] > [3] Kprobe dynamic event with arguments [PASS] > [4] Kprobes event arguments with types [PASS] > [5] Kprobe dynamic event with function tracer [PASS] > [6] Kretprobe dynamic event with arguments [PASS] > [7] Kretprobe dynamic event with maxactive [PASS] > > # of passed: 7 > # of failed: 0 > # of unresolved: 0 > # of untested: 0 > # of unsupported: 0 > # of xfailed: 0 > # of undefined(test bug): 0 BugLink: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/1072 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1491215782-15490-1-git-send-email-alban@kinvolk.io Acked-by:

Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself. Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use __init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is. Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should work for each of them.

I noticed that if I use dd to read the set_ftrace_filter file that the first hash command is repeated. # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter # echo do_IRQ >> set_ftrace_filter # echo schedule:traceoff >> set_ftrace_filter # echo do_IRQ:traceoff >> set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter schedule do_IRQ schedule:traceoff:unlimited do_IRQ:traceoff:unlimited # dd if=set_ftrace_filter bs=1 schedule do_IRQ schedule:traceoff:unlimited schedule:traceoff:unlimited do_IRQ:traceoff:unlimited 98+0 records in 98+0 records out 98 bytes copied, 0.00265011 s, 37.0 kB/s This is due to the way t_start() calls t_next() as well as the seq_file calls t_next() and the state is slightly different between the two. Namely, t_start() will call t_next() with a local "pos" variable. By separating out the function listing from t_next() into its own function, we can have better control of outputting the functions and the hash of triggers. This simplifies the code. Signed-off-by:

If all functions are enabled, there's a comment displayed in the file to denote that: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### If a function trigger is set, those are displayed as well: # echo schedule:traceoff >> /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter # cat set_ftrace_filter #### all functions enabled #### schedule:traceoff:unlimited But if you read that file with dd, the output can change: # dd if=/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter bs=1 #### all functions enabled #### 32+0 records in 32+0 records out 32 bytes copied, 7.0237e-05 s, 456 kB/s This is because the "pos" variable is updated for the comment, but func_pos is not. "func_pos" is used by the triggers (or hashes) to know how many functions were printed and it bases its index from the pos - func_pos. func_pos should be 1 to count for the comment printed. But since it is not, t_hash_start() thinks that one trigger was already printed. The cat gets to t_hash_start() via t_next() and not t_start() which updates both pos and func_pos. Signed-off-by:

Moving enabling of function tracing to early boot, even before scheduling is enabled, means that it is not safe to enable interrupts. When function tracing was enabled at boot up, it use to happen after scheduling and the other CPUs were brought up. That required running a sync across all CPUs when modifying the function hook locations in the code. To do the synchronization, interrupts had to be enabled. Now function tracing can be started before the other CPUs are brought up, and enabling interrupts in that case is dangerous. As only tho boot CPU is active, there is no reason to run the synchronization. If the online CPU count is one, do not bother doing the synchronization. This removes the need to enable interrupts.

Currently trace_handle_return() looks like this: static inline enum print_line_t trace_handle_return(struct trace_seq *s) { return trace_seq_has_overflowed(s) ? TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE : TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED; } Where trace_seq_overflowed(s) is: static inline bool trace_seq_has_overflowed(struct trace_seq *s) { return s->full || seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq); } And seq_buf_has_overflowed(&s->seq) is: static inline bool seq_buf_has_overflowed(struct seq_buf *s) { return s->len > s->size; } Making trace_handle_return() into: return (s->full || (s->seq->len > s->seq->size)) ? TRACE_TYPE_PARTIAL_LINE : TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED; One would think this is not an issue to keep as an inline.

Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer exists.

This BUG_ON() triggered for me once at shutdown, and I don't see a reason for the check. The code correctly checks whether the swap slot cache is usable or not, so an uninitialized swap slot cache is not actually problematic afaik. I've temporarily just switched the BUG_ON() to a WARN_ON_ONCE(), since I'm not sure why that seemingly pointless check was there. I suspect the real fix is to just remove it entirely, but for now we'll warn about it but not bring the machine down.

Pull SCSI target fixes from Nicholas Bellinger: "The bulk of the changes are in qla2xxx target driver code to address various issues found during Cavium/QLogic's internal testing (stable CC's included), along with a few other stability and smaller miscellaneous improvements. There are also a couple of different patch sets from Mike Christie, which have been a result of his work to use target-core ALUA logic together with tcm-user backend driver. Finally, a patch to address some long standing issues with pass-through SCSI export of TYPE_TAPE + TYPE_MEDIUM_CHANGER devices, which will make folks using physical (or virtual) magnetic tape happy" * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (28 commits) qla2xxx: Update driver version to 9.00.00.00-k qla2xxx: Fix delayed response to command for loop mode/direct connect. qla2xxx: Change scsi host lookup method. qla2xxx: Add DebugFS node to display Port Database qla2xxx: Use IOCB interface to submit non-critical MBX. qla2xxx: Add async new target notification qla2xxx: Export DIF stats via debugfs qla2xxx: Improve T10-DIF/PI handling in driver. qla2xxx: Allow relogin to proceed if remote login did not finish qla2xxx: Fix sess_lock & hardware_lock lock order problem. qla2xxx: Fix inadequate lock protection for ABTS. qla2xxx: Fix request queue corruption. qla2xxx: Fix memory leak for abts processing qla2xxx: Allow vref count to timeout on vport delete. tcmu: Convert cmd_time_out into backend device attribute tcmu: make cmd timeout configurable tcmu: add helper to check if dev was configured target: fix race during implicit transition work flushes target: allow userspace to set state to transitioning target: fix ALUA transition timeout handling ...

Pull device-dax fixes from Dan Williams: "The device-dax driver was not being careful to handle falling back to smaller fault-granularity sizes. The driver already fails fault attempts that are smaller than the device's alignment, but it also needs to handle the cases where a larger page mapping could be established. For simplicity of the immediate fix the implementation just signals VM_FAULT_FALLBACK until fault-size == device-alignment. One fix is for -stable to address pmd-to-pte fallback from the original implementation, another fix is for the new (introduced in 4.11-rc1) pud-to-pmd regression, and a typo fix comes along for the ride. These have received a build success notification from the kbuild robot" * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: device-dax: fix debug output typo device-dax: fix pud fault fallback handling device-dax: fix pmd/pte fault fallback handling

Current driver wait for FW to be in the ready state before processing in-coming commands. For Arbitrated Loop or Point-to- Point (not switch), FW Ready state can take a while. FW will transition to ready state after all Nports have been logged in. In the mean time, certain initiators have completed the login and starts IO. Driver needs to start processing all queues if FW is already started. Signed-off-by:

For target mode, when new scsi command arrive, driver first performs a look up of the SCSI Host. The current look up method is based on the ALPA portion of the NPort ID. For Cisco switch, the ALPA can not be used as the index. Instead, the new search method is based on the full value of the Nport_ID via btree lib. Signed-off-by:

The Mailbox interface is currently over subscribed. We like to reserve the Mailbox interface for the chip managment and link initialization. Any non essential Mailbox command will be routed through the IOCB interface. The IOCB interface is able to absorb more commands. Following commands are being routed through IOCB interface - Get ID List (007Ch) - Get Port DB (0064h) - Get Link Priv Stats (006Dh) Signed-off-by:

If the remote port have started the login process, then the PLOGI and PRLI should be back to back. Driver will allow the remote port to complete the process. For the case where the remote port decide to back off from sending PRLI, this local port sets an expiration timer for the PRLI. Once the expiration time passes, the relogin retry logic is allowed to go through and perform login with the remote port. Signed-off-by:

The main lock that needs to be held for CMD or TMR submission to upper layer is the sess_lock. The sess_lock is used to serialize cmd submission and session deletion. The addition of hardware_lock being held is not necessary. This patch removes hardware_lock dependency from CMD/TMR submission. Use hardware_lock only for error response in this case.
