non-preemptible context:

kernel_init() will execute all initcalls, however the first line in

increased. Any later calls to add_preempt_count() (especially those
from the selftests) will therefore not result in a call to
trace_preempt_off() since the check below in add_preempt_count()
will be false:

        if (preempt_count() == val)
                trace_preempt_off(CALLER_ADDR0, get_parent_ip(CALLER_ADDR1));

Hence the trace buffer will be empty.

ftrace: pass module struct to arch dynamic ftrace functions

Impact: allow archs more flexibility on dynamic ftrace implementations

Dynamic ftrace has largly been developed on x86. Since x86 does not
have the same limitations as other architectures, the ftrace interaction
between the generic code and the architecture specific code was not
flexible enough to handle some of the issues that other architectures
have.

Most notably, module trampolines. Due to the limited branch distance
that archs make in calling kernel core code from modules, the module
load code must create a trampoline to jump to what will make the
larger jump into core kernel code.

The problem arises when this happens to a call to mcount. Ftrace checks
all code before modifying it and makes sure the current code is what
it expects. Right now, there is not enough information to handle modifying
module trampolines.

This patch changes the API between generic dynamic ftrace code and
the arch dependent code. There is now two functions for modifying code:

  ftrace_make_nop(mod, rec, addr) - convert the code at rec->ip into
       a nop, where the original text is calling addr. (mod is the
       module struct if called by module init)

  ftrace_make_caller(rec, addr) - convert the code rec->ip that should
       be a nop into a caller to addr.

The record "rec" now has a new field called "arch" where the architecture
can add any special attributes to each call site record.

Because of the confusion with the per CPU buffers wrapping where

CPUs causing that one CPU to have a shorter history. Kernel
developers were confused by the "missing" data of that one CPU
at the beginning of the trace output. An annotation was added to
the trace output to show that the buffer had started:

 # tracer: function
 #
 #           TASK-PID    CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |       |          |         |

But this annotation gets a bit messy when tracers do not fill the
buffers. This patch does a couple of things:

 One) it adds a flag to trace_options to disable these annotations

 Two) it does not annotate if the tracer did not overflow its buffer.

Theory:

_ One thread can only execute on one cpu at a time. So this code
  doesn't need to be SMP-safe. Just drop the spinlock.

_ The only race could happen between the current thread and an

  the return stack storage and then execute until the end of the
  tracing to finally free the index it used. We don't need to disable
  irqs.

This is theorical. In practice, I've tested it with a two-core SMP and

ftrace: add tracer called branch

Impact: added new branch tracer

Currently the tracing of branch profiling (unlikelys and likelys hit)
is only activated by the iter_ctrl. This patch adds a tracer called
"branch" that will just trace the branch profiling. The advantage
of adding this tracer is that it can be added to the ftrace selftests
on startup.

tracing: likely/unlikely branch annotation tracer

Impact: new likely/unlikely branch tracer

This patch adds a way to record the instances of the likely() and unlikely()
branch condition annotations.

When "unlikely" is set in /debugfs/tracing/iter_ctrl the unlikely conditions
will be added to any of the ftrace tracers. The change takes effect when
a new tracer is passed into the current_tracer file.

For example:

 bash-3471  [003]   357.014755: [INCORRECT] sched_info_dequeued:sched_stats.h:177
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014756: [correct] update_curr:sched_fair.c:489
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014758: [correct] calc_delta_fair:sched_fair.c:411
 bash-3471  [003]   357.014759: [correct] account_group_exec_runtime:sched_stats.h:356

 bash-3471  [003]   357.014765: [correct] calc_delta_mine:sched.c:1279

Which shows the normal tracer heading, as well as whether the condition was
correct "[correct]" or was mistaken "[INCORRECT]", followed by the function,

  the following ideas from:

  1)  Using __builtin_constant_p to avoid profiling fixed values.
  2)  Using __FILE__ instead of instruction pointers.
  3)  Using the preprocessor to stop all profiling of likely
       annotations from vsyscall_64.c.

Thanks to Andrew Morton, Arjan van de Ven, Theodore Tso and Ingo Molnar
for their feed back on this patch.

16 years agoring-buffer: buffer record on/off switch
Steven Rostedt [Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:01:42 +0000 (15:01 -0500)]
ring-buffer: buffer record on/off switch

Impact: enable/disable ring buffer recording API added

Several kernel developers have requested that there be a way to stop
recording into the ring buffers with a simple switch that can also
be enabled from userspace. This patch addes a new kernel API to the
ring buffers called:

 tracing_on()
 tracing_off()

When tracing_off() is called, all ring buffers will not be able to record
into their buffers.

tracing_on() will enable the ring buffers again.

These two act like an on/off switch. That is, there is no counting of the
number of times tracing_off or tracing_on has been called.

A new file is added to the debugfs/tracing directory called

  tracing_on

This allows for userspace applications to also flip the switch.

  echo 0 > debugfs/tracing/tracing_on

disables the tracing.

  echo 1 > /debugfs/tracing/tracing_on

enables it.

Note, this does not disable or enable any tracers. It only sets or clears
a flag that needs to be set in order for the ring buffers to write to
their buffers. It is a global flag, and affects all ring buffers.

The buffers start out with tracing_on enabled.

There are now three flags that control recording into the buffers:

 tracing_on: which affects all ring buffer tracers.

 buffer->record_disabled: which affects an allocated buffer, which may be set
     if an anomaly is detected, and tracing is disabled.

 cpu_buffer->record_disabled: which is set by tracing_stop() or if an
     anomaly is detected. tracing_start can not reenable this if
     an anomaly occurred.

The userspace debugfs/tracing/tracing_enabled is implemented with
tracing_stop() but the user space code can not enable it if the kernel
called tracing_stop().

Userspace can enable the tracing_on even if the kernel disabled it.
It is just a switch used to stop tracing if a condition was hit.
tracing_on is not for protecting critical areas in the kernel nor is
it for stopping tracing if an anomaly occurred. This is because userspace
can reenable it at any time.

Side effect: With this patch, I discovered a dead variable in ftrace.c
  called tracing_on. This patch removes it.

V4L/DVB (9492): unplug oops from dvb_frontend_init...

When inadvertently hot-unplugging a WT-220U USB DVB-T receiver with
2.6.24, I was met with an oops [1]. The problem is relevant to
2.6.25/26-rc also.

dvb_frontend_init() was called either from re-creation of the kdvb-fe0
thread - seems unlikely, or someone called
dvb_frontend_reinitialise(), causing this path in the thread - really
unlikely, as I can't find any call-site for it.

Either way, quite a number of drivers call dvb_usb_generic_rw() [2]
without checking the validity of the relevant member in the
dvb_usb_device struct - which had changed. Having dvb_usb_generic_rw()
sanity-check and fail (rather than loading from 0x120) seems
reasonable defensive programming [3], in light of it being called in
this way.

The problem with this, is that drivers don't check the return code of
the init call [4]. Does it make sense to cook a patch which allows the
failure to be propagated back up, or am I missing something else?

Thanks,
  Daniel

There already is an report at kernel bugzilla about this issue:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9455

When enabling extra checks for the i2c-bus of cx88 based cards by
loading i2c_algo_bit with bit_test=1 this may trigger an oops

This is caused by the extra check code that detects that the
sda-line is stuck high and thus does not register the i2c-bus.

cx88-dvb however does not check if the i2c-bus is valid and just
uses core->i2c_adap to attach dvb frontend modules.

V4L/DVB (9356): [PATCH] saa7134: fix resource map sanity check conflict

Impact: driver could possibly stomp on resources outside of its scope

{mchehab@redhat.com: I got two versions of the same patch (identical,
except for whitespacing). One authored by Andy Burns and another
authored by Suresh Siddha. Due to that, I'm applying the one that has
less CodingStyle errors. I'm also adding both comments and the SOB's for
both patches, since they are both interesting}

Suresh Siddha commented:

  Alexey Fisher reported:

  > resource map sanity check conflict: 0xcfeff800 0xcff007ff 0xcfe00000
  > 0xcfefffff PCI Bus 0000:01

  BAR base is located in the middle of the 4K page and the hardcoded
  size argument makes the request span two pages causing the conflict.

  Fix the hard coded size argument in ioremap().

Andy Burns commented:

  I have already sent this patch on the linux-dvb list, but it didn't get
  much attention, so re-sending direct, I hope you all don't mind.

  While attempting to run mythtv in a xen domU, I encountered problems
  loading the driver for my saa7134 card, with an error from ioremap().

  This error was due to the driver allocating an incorrectly sized mmio
  area, which was trapped by xen's permission checks, but this would go
  un-noticed on a kernel without xen.

  My card has a 1K sized mmio area, I've had information that other cards
  have 2K areas, perhaps others have different sizes, yet the driver
  always attempts to map 4K.  I realise that the granularity of mapping is
  the page size, which typically would be 4K, but unless the card's base
  address happens to fall on a 4K boundary (mine does not) then the
  base+4K will end up spanning two pages, and this is when the error
  occurs under xen.

  My patch uses the pci_resource_len macro to determine the size required
  for the user's particular card, instead of the hardcoded 4K value. I've
  tested with a couple of printk() inside ioremap() that the start address
  and size do get rounded to the closest page boundary.

  With this patch I am able to successfully load the saa7134 driver and
  run mythtv under xen with my card, subject to correct pollirq settings
  in case of shared IRQ, I am still seeing occasional DMA panics, which I
  think are related to swiotlb handling by dom0/domU, usually the panic
  occurs when changing mux, once tuned to a mux, 12 hour continuous
  recordings are possible without errors.

While migrating the the CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED timers during a cpu-offline,
we queue them on the cb_pending list, so that they won't go
stale.

Thus, when the callbacks of the timers run from the softirq context,
they could run into potential deadlocks, since these callbacks
assume that they're running with irq's disabled, thereby annoying

Fix this by emulating hardirq context while running these callbacks from
the hrtimer softirq.

16 years agotracing: add a tracer to catch execution time of kernel functions
Frederic Weisbecker [Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:14:25 +0000 (07:14 +0100)]
tracing: add a tracer to catch execution time of kernel functions

Impact: add new tracing plugin which can trace full (entry+exit) function calls

This tracer uses the low level function return ftrace plugin to
measure the execution time of the kernel functions.

The first field is the caller of the function, the second is the
measured function, and the last one is the execution time in
nanoseconds.

- v3:

- HAVE_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER have been added. Each arch that support ftrace return
  should enable it.
- ftrace_return_stub becomes ftrace_stub.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_RET_TRACER depends now on CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
- Return traces printing can be used for other tracers on trace.c
- Adapt to the new tracing API (no more ctrl_update callback)
- Correct the check of "disabled" during insertion.
- Minor changes...

16 years agotracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing
Frederic Weisbecker [Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:03:45 +0000 (07:03 +0100)]
tracing, x86: add low level support for ftrace return tracing

Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing

Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.

This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
the current task.

The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.

Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.

For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
this function enabled.
