tracing: Do not allow mmap() of persistent ring buffer

The reason was that the code that maps the ring buffer pages to user space
has:
page = virt_to_page((void *)cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids[s]);
And uses that in:
vm_insert_pages(vma, vma->vm_start, pages, &nr_pages);
But virt_to_page() does not work with vmap()'d memory which is what the
persistent ring buffer has. It is rather trivial to allow this, but for
now just disable mmap() of instances that have their ring buffer from the
reserve_mem option.
If an mmap() is performed on a persistent buffer it will return -ENODEV
just like it would if the .mmap field wasn't defined in the
file_operations structure.

tracing: Have the error of __tracing_resize_ring_buffer() passed to user
Currently if __tracing_resize_ring_buffer() returns an error, the
tracing_resize_ringbuffer() returns -ENOMEM. But it may not be a memory
issue that caused the function to fail. If the ring buffer is memory
mapped, then the resizing of the ring buffer will be disabled. But if the
user tries to resize the buffer, it will get an -ENOMEM returned, which is
confusing because there is plenty of memory. The actual error returned was
-EBUSY, which would make much more sense to the user.

tracing updates for v6.14:
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for both algorithms to use the same logic in one place. - Add poll to trace event hist files It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know that the event it is waiting for happened. - Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature. Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event, then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded. This also works from the kernel command line, where "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up, its events will be enabled then. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ5EbMxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qkZsAP9Amgx9frSbR1pn1t0I3wVnQx7khgOu s/b8Ro+vjTx1/QD/RN2AA7f+HK4F27w3Aqfrs0nKXAPtXWsJ9Epp8raG5w8= =Pg+4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.14-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated.

ftrace updates for v6.14:
- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function. The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this method does not scale. The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started, every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex. - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free memory when the function exits. - Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This greatly improves its performance. - Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the kernel command line.

ftrace: Implement :mod: cache filtering on kernel command line
Module functions can be set to set_ftrace_filter before the module is loaded. # echo :mod:snd_hda_intel > set_ftrace_filter This will enable all the functions for the module snd_hda_intel. If that module is not loaded, it is "cached" in the trace array for when the module is loaded, its functions will be traced. But this is not implemented in the kernel command line. That's because the kernel command line filtering is added very early in boot up as it is needed to be done before boot time function tracing can start, which is also available very early in boot up. The code used by the "set_ftrace_filter" file can not be used that early as it depends on some other initialization to occur first. But some of the functions can. Implement the ":mod:" feature of "set_ftrace_filter" in the kernel command line parsing. Now function tracing on just a single module that is loaded at boot up can be done. Adding: ftrace=function ftrace_filter=:mod:sna_hda_intel To the kernel command line will only enable the sna_hda_intel module functions when the module is loaded, and it will start tracing.

tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yet
When the :mod: command is written into /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event (or that file within an instance), if the module specified after the ":mod:" is not yet loaded, it will store that string internally. When the module is loaded, it will enable the events as if the module was loaded when the string was written into the set_event file. This can also be useful to enable events that are in the init section of the module, as the events are enabled before the init section is executed. This also works on the kernel command line: trace_event=:mod:<module> Will enable the events for <module> when it is loaded.

tracing: Add :mod: command to enabled module events
Add a :mod: command to enable only events from a given module from the set_events file. echo '*:mod:<module>' > set_events Or echo ':mod:<module>' > set_events Will enable all events for that module. Specific events can also be enabled via: echo '<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events Or echo '<system>:<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events Or echo '*:<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events The ":mod:" keyword is consistent with the function tracing filter to enable functions from a given module.

tracing: Fix using ret variable in tracing_set_tracer()
When the function tracing_set_tracer() switched over to using the guard()
infrastructure, it did not need to save the 'ret' variable and would just
return the value when an error arised, instead of setting ret and jumping
to an out label.
When CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT is enabled, it had code that expected the
"ret" variable to be initialized to zero and had set 'ret' while holding
an arch_spin_lock() (not used by guard), and then upon releasing the lock
it would check 'ret' and exit if set. But because ret was only set when an
error occurred while holding the locks, 'ret' would be used uninitialized
if there was no error. The code in the CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT block should
be self contain. Make sure 'ret' is also set when no error occurred.

The mmiotracer is not set to be enabled at boot up from the kernel command line. If the boot command line tries to enable that tracer, it will fail to be enabled.

tracing: Switch trace.c code over to use guard()
There are several functions in trace.c that have "goto out;" or equivalent on error in order to release locks or free values that were allocated. This can be error prone or just simply make the code more complex. Switch every location that ends with unlocking a mutex or freeing on error over to using the guard(mutex)() and __free() infrastructure to let the compiler worry about releasing locks. This makes the code easier to read and understand. There's one place that should probably return an error but instead return 0. This does not change the return as the only changes are to do the conversion without changing the logic. Fixing that location will have to come later.

ring-buffer fixes for v6.13:
- Fix possible overflow of mmapped ring buffer with bad offset If the mmap() to the ring buffer passes in a start address that is passed the end of the mmapped file, it is not caught and a slab-out-of-bounds is triggered.

trace/ring-buffer: Do not use TP_printk() formatting for boot mapped buffers
The TP_printk() of a TRACE_EVENT() is a generic printf format that any
developer can create for their event. It may include pointers to strings
and such. A boot mapped buffer may contain data from a previous kernel
where the strings addresses are different.
One solution is to copy the event content and update the pointers by the
recorded delta, but a simpler solution (for now) is to just use the
print_fields() function to print these events. The print_fields() function
just iterates the fields and prints them according to what type they are,
and ignores the TP_printk() format from the event itself.
To understand the difference, when printing via TP_printk() the output
looks like this:
4582.696626: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=getname_flags+0x47/0x1f0 ptr=00000000e70e10e0 bytes_req=4096 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL node=-1 accounted=false
4582.696629: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=alloc_empty_file+0x6b/0x110 ptr=0000000095808002 bytes_req=360 bytes_alloc=384 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL node=-1 accounted=false
4582.696630: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=security_file_alloc+0x24/0x100 ptr=00000000576339c3 bytes_req=16 bytes_alloc=16 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false
4582.696653: kmem_cache_free: call_site=do_sys_openat2+0xa7/0xd0 ptr=00000000e70e10e0 name=names_cache
But when printing via print_fields() (echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/options/fields)
the same event output looks like this:
4582.696626: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=0xffffffff92d10d97 (-1831793257) ptr=0xffff9e0e8571e000 (-107689771147264) bytes_req=0x1000 (4096) bytes_alloc=0x1000 (4096) gfp_flags=0xcc0 (3264) node=0xffffffff (-1) accounted=(0)

tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format
The TP_printk() portion of a trace event is executed at the time a event
is read from the trace. This can happen seconds, minutes, hours, days,
months, years possibly later since the event was recorded. If the print
format contains a dereference to a string via "%s", and that string was
allocated, there's a chance that string could be freed before it is read
by the trace file.
To protect against such bugs, there are two functions that verify the
event. The first one is test_event_printk(), which is called when the
event is created. It reads the TP_printk() format as well as its arguments
to make sure nothing may be dereferencing a pointer that was not copied
into the ring buffer along with the event. If it is, it will trigger a
WARN_ON().
For strings that use "%s", it is not so easy. The string may not reside in
the ring buffer but may still be valid. Strings that are static and part
of the kernel proper which will not be freed for the life of the running
system, are safe to dereference. But to know if it is a pointer to a
static string or to something on the heap can not be determined until the
event is triggered.
This brings us to the second function that tests for the bad dereferencing
of strings, trace_check_vprintf(). It would walk through the printf format
looking for "%s", and when it finds it, it would validate that the pointer
is safe to read. If not, it would produces a WARN_ON() as well and write
into the ring buffer "[UNSAFE-MEMORY]".
The problem with this is how it used va_list to have vsnprintf() handle
all the cases that it didn't need to check. Instead of re-implementing
vsnprintf(), it would make a copy of the format up to the %s part, and
call vsnprintf() with the current va_list ap variable, where the ap would
then be ready to point at the string in question.
For architectures that passed va_list by reference this was possible. For
architectures that passed it by copy it was not. A test_can_verify()
function was used to differentiate between the two, and if it wasn't
possible, it would disable it.
Even for architectures where this was feasible, it was a stretch to rely
on such a method that is undocumented, and could cause issues later on
with new optimizations of the compiler.
Instead, the first function test_event_printk() was updated to look at
"%s" as well. If the "%s" argument is a pointer outside the event in the
ring buffer, it would find the field type of the event that is the problem
and mark the structure with a new flag called "needs_test". The event
itself will be marked by TRACE_EVENT_FL_TEST_STR to let it be known that
this event has a field that needs to be verified before the event can be
printed using the printf format.
When the event fields are created from the field type structure, the
fields would copy the field type's "needs_test" value.
Finally, before being printed, a new function ignore_event() is called
which will check if the event has the TEST_STR flag set (if not, it
returns false). If the flag is set, it then iterates through the events
fields looking for the ones that have the "needs_test" flag set.
Then it uses the offset field from the field structure to find the pointer
in the ring buffer event. It runs the tests to make sure that pointer is
safe to print and if not, it triggers the WARN_ON() and also adds to the
trace output that the event in question has an unsafe memory access.
The ignore_event() makes the trace_check_vprintf() obsolete so it is
removed.

tracing updates for v6.13:
- Addition of faultable tracepoints
There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit. This
location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are called under
an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can sleep. This limits
the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault in user space system call
parameters. Now these tracepoints have been made "faultable", allowing the
callbacks to fault in user space parameters and record them.
Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers (perf,
ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow faults.
- Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic
- Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API
- Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used
- Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic
- Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()
- Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr()
- Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled
- Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with atomic64_inc_return(counter)
- Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE
- Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used
- Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph tracer
is also running.
When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer,
the parent function of the function tracer sometimes is
"return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record
the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the
fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address.
- Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure
- Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack function
filter.
echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
Would cause a kernel NULL dereference.
- Minor clean ups

ftrace updates for v6.13:
- Merged tag ftrace-v6.12-rc4 There was a fix to locking in register_ftrace_graph() for shadow stacks that was sent upstream. But this code was also being rewritten, and the locking fix was needed. Merging this fix was required to continue the work. - Restructure the function graph shadow stack to prepare it for use with kretprobes With the goal of merging the shadow stack logic of function graph and kretprobes, some more restructuring of the function shadow stack is required. Move out function graph specific fields from the fgraph infrastructure and store it on the new stack variables that can pass data from the entry callback to the exit callback. Hopefully, with this change, the merge of kretprobes to use fgraph shadow stacks will be ready by the next merge window. - Make shadow stack 4k instead of using PAGE_SIZE. Some architectures have very large PAGE_SIZE values which make its use for shadow stacks waste a lot of memory. - Give shadow stacks its own kmem cache. When function graph is started, every task on the system gets a shadow stack. In the future, shadow stacks may not be 4K in size. Have it have its own kmem cache so that whatever size it becomes will still be efficient in allocations. - Initialize profiler graph ops as it will be needed for new updates to fgraph - Convert to use guard(mutex) for several ftrace and fgraph functions - Add more comments and documentation - Show function return address in function graph tracer Add an option to show the caller of a function at each entry of the function graph tracer, similar to what the function tracer does. - Abstract out ftrace_regs from being used directly like pt_regs ftrace_regs was created to store a partial pt_regs. It holds only the registers and stack information to get to the function arguments and return values. On several archs, it is simply a wrapper around pt_regs. But some users would access ftrace_regs directly to get the pt_regs which will not work on all archs. Make ftrace_regs an abstract structure that requires all access to its fields be through accessor functions. - Show how long it takes to do function code modifications When code modification for function hooks happen, it always had the time recorded in how long it took to do the conversion. But this value was never exported. Recently the code was touched due to new ROX modification handling that caused a large slow down in doing the modifications and had a significant impact on boot times. Expose the timings in the dyn_ftrace_total_info file. This file was created a while ago to show information about memory usage and such to implement dynamic function tracing.

tracing/ring-buffer: Clear all memory mapped CPU ring buffers on first recording
The events of a memory mapped ring buffer from the previous boot should
not be mixed in with events from the current boot. There's meta data that
is used to handle KASLR so that function names can be shown properly.
Also, since the timestamps of the previous boot have no meaning to the
timestamps of the current boot, having them intermingled in a buffer can
also cause confusion because there could possibly be events in the future.
When a trace is activated the meta data is reset so that the pointers of
are now processed for the new address space. The trace buffers are reset
when tracing starts for the first time. The problem here is that the reset
only happens on online CPUs. If a CPU is offline, it does not get reset.
To demonstrate the issue, a previous boot had tracing enabled in the boot
mapped ring buffer on reboot. On the following boot, tracing has not been
started yet so the function trace from the previous boot is still visible.
# trace-cmd show -B boot_mapped -c 3 | tail

Now, if CPU 3 is taken offline, and tracing is started on the memory
mapped ring buffer, the events from the previous boot in the CPU 3 ring
buffer is not reset. Now those events are using the meta data from the
current boot and produces just hex values.

tracing: Make percpu stack trace buffer invariant to PAGE_SIZE
Previously the size of "struct ftrace_stacks" depended upon PAGE_SIZE. For the common 4K page size, on a 64-bit system, sizeof(struct ftrace_stacks) was 32K. But for a 64K page size, sizeof(struct ftrace_stacks) was 512K. But ftrace stack usage requirements should be invariant to page size. So let's redefine FTRACE_KSTACK_ENTRIES so that "struct ftrace_stacks" is always sized at 32K for 64-bit and 16K for 32-bit. As a side effect, it removes the PAGE_SIZE compile-time constant assumption from this code, which is required to reach the goal of boot-time page size selection.

Since the beginning of ftrace, the code that did the patching had its timings saved on how long it took to complete. But this information was never exposed.

ring-buffer: Fix refcount setting of boot mapped buffers
A ring buffer which has its buffered mapped at boot up to fixed memory
should not be freed. Other buffers can be. The ref counting setup was
wrong for both. It made the not mapped buffers ref count have zero, and the
boot mapped buffer a ref count of 1. But an normally allocated buffer
should be 1, where it can be removed.
Keep the ref count of a normal boot buffer with its setup ref count (do
not decrement it), and increment the fixed memory boot mapped buffer's ref
count.

tracing: Fix trace_check_vprintf() when tp_printk is used
When the tp_printk kernel command line is used, the trace events go
directly to printk(). It is still checked via the trace_check_vprintf()
function to make sure the pointers of the trace event are legit.
The addition of reading buffers from previous boots required adding a
delta between the addresses of the previous boot and the current boot so
that the pointers in the old buffer can still be used. But this required
adding a trace_array pointer to acquire the delta offsets.
The tp_printk code does not provide a trace_array (tr) pointer, so when
the offsets were examined, a NULL pointer dereference happened and the
kernel crashed.
If the trace_array does not exist, just default the delta offsets to zero,
as that also means the trace event is not being read from a previous boot.

ring-buffer: Updates for v6.12:
- Merged v6.11-rc3 into trace/ring-buffer/core
The v6.10 ring buffer pull request was not made due to Mathieu Desnoyers
making a comment to the pull request. Mathieu and I resolved it on IRC,
but we did not let Linus know that it was resolved. Linus did not do the
pull thinking it still had some unresolved issues.
The ring buffer work for 6.12 was dependent on both this pull request as
well as the reserve_mem kernel command line option that was going upstream
through the memory management tree. The ring buffer repo was being used by
others so it could not be rebased. In order to continue the work, the
v6.11-rc3 branch was pulled in to get access to the reserve_mem work.
This has the 6.11 pull request that did not make it into 6.11, which was:
tracing/ring-buffer: Have persistent buffer across reboots
This allows for the tracing instance ring buffer to stay persistent across
reboots. The way this is done is by adding to the kernel command line:
trace_instance=boot_map@0x285400000:12M
This will reserve 12 megabytes at the address 0x285400000, and then map
the tracing instance "boot_map" ring buffer to that memory. This will
appear as a normal instance in the tracefs system:
/sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_map
A user could enable tracing in that instance, and on reboot or kernel
crash, if the memory is not wiped by the firmware, it will recreate the
trace in that instance. For example, if one was debugging a shutdown of a
kernel reboot:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo function > instances/boot_map/current_tracer
# reboot
[..]
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# tail instances/boot_map/trace

On reboot, the buffer is examined to make sure it is valid. The validation
check even steps through every event to make sure the meta data of the
event is correct. If any test fails, it will simply reset the buffer, and
the buffer will be empty on boot.
The new changes for 6.12 are:
- Allow the tracing persistent boot buffer to use the "reserve_mem" option
Instead of having the admin find a physical address to store the persistent
buffer, which can be very tedious if they have to administrate several
different machines, allow them to use the "reserve_mem" option that will
find a location for them. It is not as reliable because of KASLR, as the
loading of the kernel in different locations can cause the memory
allocated to be inconsistent. Booting with "nokaslr" can make reserve_mem
more reliable.
- Have function graph tracer handle offsets from a previous boot.
The ring buffer output from a previous boot may have different addresses
due to kaslr. Have the function graph tracer handle these by using the
delta from the previous boot to the new boot address space.
- Only reset the saved meta offset when the buffer is started or reset
In the persistent memory meta data, it holds the previous address space
information, so that it can calculate the delta to have function tracing
work. But this gets updated after being read to hold the new address
space. But if the buffer isn't used for that boot, on reboot, the delta is
now calculated from the previous boot and not the boot that holds the data
in the ring buffer. This causes the functions not to be shown. Do not save
the address space information of the current kernel until it is being
recorded.
- Add a magic variable to test the valid meta data
Add a magic variable in the meta data that can also be used for
validation. The validator of the previous buffer doesn't need this magic
data, but it can be used if the meta data is changed by a new kernel, which
may have the same format that passes the validator but is used
differently. This magic number can also be used as a "versioning" of the
meta data.
- Align user space mapped ring buffer sub buffers to improve TLB entries
Linus mentioned that the mapped ring buffer sub buffers were misaligned
between the meta page and the sub-buffers, so that if the sub-buffers were
bigger than PAGE_SIZE, it wouldn't allow the TLB to use bigger entries.
- Add new kernel command line "traceoff" to disable tracing on boot for instances
If tracing is enabled for a boot instance, there needs a way to be able to
disable it on boot so that new events do not get entered into the ring
buffer and be mixed with events from a previous boot, as that can be
confusing.
- Allow trace_printk() to go to other instances
Currently, trace_printk() can only go to the top level instance. When
debugging with a persistent buffer, it is really useful to be able to add
trace_printk() to go to that buffer, so that you have access to them after
a crash.
- Do not use "bin_printk()" for traces to a boot instance
The bin_printk() saves only a pointer to the printk format in the ring
buffer, as the reader of the buffer can still have access to it. But this
is not the case if the buffer is from a previous boot. If the
trace_printk() is going to a "persistent" buffer, it will use the slower
version that writes the printk format into the buffer.
- Add command line option to allow trace_printk() to go to an instance
Allow the kernel command line to define which instance the trace_printk()
goes to, instead of forcing the admin to set it for every boot via the
tracefs options.
- Start a document that explains how to use tracefs to debug the kernel
- Add some more kernel selftests to test user mapped ring buffer

tracing: Avoid possible softlockup in tracing_iter_reset()
In __tracing_open(), when max latency tracers took place on the cpu,
the time start of its buffer would be updated, then event entries with
timestamps being earlier than start of the buffer would be skipped
(see tracing_iter_reset()).
Softlockup will occur if the kernel is non-preemptible and too many
entries were skipped in the loop that reset every cpu buffer, so add
cond_resched() to avoid it.

tracing: Add option to set an instance to be the trace_printk destination
Add a option "trace_printk_dest" that will make the tracing instance the location that trace_printk() will go to. This is useful if the trace_printk or one of the top level tracers is too noisy and there's a need to separate the two. Then an instance can be created, the trace_printk can be set to go there instead, where it will not be lost in the noise of the top level tracer. Note, only one instance can be the destination of trace_printk at a time. If an instance sets this flag, the instance that had it set will have it cleared. There is always one instance that has this set. By default, that is the top instance. This flag cannot be cleared from the top instance. Doing so will result in an -EINVAL. The only way this flag can be cleared from the top instance is by another instance setting it.

tracing: Have trace_printk not use binary prints if boot buffer
If the persistent boot mapped ring buffer is used for trace_printk(), force it to not use the binary versions. trace_printk() by default uses bin_printf() that only saves the pointer to the format and not the format itself inside the ring buffer. But for a persistent buffer that is read after reboot, the pointers to the format strings may not be the same, or worse, not even exist! Instead, just force the more robust, but slower, version that does the formatting before saving into the ring buffer. The boot mapped buffer can now be used for trace_printk and friends! Using the trace_printk() and the persistent buffer was used to debug the issue with the osnoise tracer: Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240822103443.6a6ae051@gandalf.local.home/ Cc: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Vincent Donnefort <vdonnefort@google.com> Cc: Joel Fernandes <joel@joelfernandes.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Vineeth Pillai <vineeth@bitbyteword.org> Cc: Beau Belgrave <beaub@linux.microsoft.com> Cc: Alexander Graf <graf@amazon.com> Cc: Baoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: "Paul E.

tracing: Add "traceoff" flag to boot time tracing instances
Add a "flags" delimiter (^) to the "trace_instance" kernel command line parameter, and add the "traceoff" flag. The format is: trace_instance=<name>[^<flag1>[^<flag2>]][@<memory>][,<events>] The code allows for more than one flag to be added, but currently only "traceoff" is done so. The motivation for this change came from debugging with the persistent ring buffer and having trace_printk() writing to it. The trace_printk calls are always enabled, and the boot after the crash was having the unwanted trace_printks from the current boot inject into the ring buffer with the trace_printks of the crash kernel, making the output very confusing.

tracing: Allow boot instances to use reserve_mem boot memory
Allow boot instances to use memory reserved by the reserve_mem boot option. reserve_mem=12M:4096:trace trace_instance=boot_mapped@trace The above will allocate 12 megs with 4096 alignment and label it "trace". The second parameter will create a "boot_mapped" instance and use the memory reserved and labeled as "trace" as the memory for the ring buffer. That will create an instance called "boot_mapped": /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped Note, because the ring buffer is using a defined memory ranged, it will act just like a memory mapped ring buffer. It will not have a snapshot buffer, as it can't swap out the buffer. The snapshot files as well as any tracers that uses a snapshot will not be present in the boot_mapped instance. Also note that reserve_mem is not reliable in acquiring the same physical memory at each soft reboot. It is possible that KALSR could map the kernel at the previous boot memory location forcing the reserve_mem to return a different memory location. In this case, the previous ring buffer will be lost.

tracing: Fix ifdef of snapshots to not prevent last_boot_info file
The mapping of the ring buffer to memory allocated at boot up will also
expose a "last_boot_info" to help tooling to read the raw data from the
last boot. As instances that have their ring buffer mapped to fixed
memory cannot perform snapshots, they can either have the "snapshot" file
or the "last_boot_info" file, but not both.
The code that added the "last_boot_info" file failed to notice that the
"snapshot" creation was inside a "#ifdef CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT" and
incorrectly placed the creation of the "last_boot_info" file within the
ifdef block. Not only does it cause a warning when CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT
is not enabled, it also incorrectly prevents the file from appearing.

tracing: Return from tracing_buffers_read() if the file has been closed
When running the following:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo 1 > events/sched/sched_waking/enable
# echo 1 > events/sched/sched_switch/enable
# echo 0 > tracing_on
# dd if=per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe_raw of=/tmp/raw0.dat
The dd task would get stuck in an infinite loop in the kernel. What would
happen is the following:
When ring_buffer_read_page() returns -1 (no data) then a check is made to
see if the buffer is empty (as happens when the page is not full), it will
call wait_on_pipe() to wait until the ring buffer has data. When it is it
will try again to read data (unless O_NONBLOCK is set).
The issue happens when there's a reader and the file descriptor is closed.
The wait_on_pipe() will return when that is the case. But this loop will
continue to try again and wait_on_pipe() will again return immediately and
the loop will continue and never stop.
Simply check if the file was closed before looping and exit out if it is.

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function

tracing: Handle old buffer mappings for event strings and functions
Use the saved text_delta and data_delta of a persistent memory mapped ring buffer that was saved from a previous boot, and use the delta in the trace event print output so that strings and functions show up normally. That is, for an event like trace_kmalloc() that prints the callsite via "%pS", if it used the address saved in the ring buffer it will not match the function that was saved in the previous boot if the kernel remaps itself between boots. For RCU events that point to saved static strings where only the address of the string is saved in the ring buffer, it too will be adjusted to point to where the string is on the current boot.

tracing ring buffer updates for v6.10:
- Add ring_buffer memory mappings The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with the splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers and the reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer that's part of the write buffer. It then has total access to the swapped out sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory into other mediums (file system, network, etc). The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space task itself. A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader sub-buffer (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change which sub-buffer is the new reader sub-buffer. The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer that the writer will not write over. A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as an example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external to the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be enabled by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used for testing applications that perform better with the buffer being mapped. Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can not be used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped, snapshots will be disabled. If any logic is set to trigger snapshots on a buffer, that buffer will not be allowed to be mapped. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZkYzDRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qttNAQCj3I0OpeI1vms85ShIa7Eha2qes5uC Yml2fnapkmRSwAEAp5UTGxtDctycWOk9B9PA7/oJmLgATaQwRKoEeTUwfAA= =TyEB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing ring buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: "Add ring_buffer memory mappings.

tracing: Allow user-space mapping of the ring-buffer
Currently, user-space extracts data from the ring-buffer via splice,
which is handy for storage or network sharing. However, due to splice
limitations, it is imposible to do real-time analysis without a copy.
A solution for that problem is to let the user-space map the ring-buffer
directly.
The mapping is exposed via the per-CPU file trace_pipe_raw. The first
element of the mapping is the meta-page. It is followed by each
subbuffer constituting the ring-buffer, ordered by their unique page ID:
* Meta-page -- include/uapi/linux/trace_mmap.h for a description
* Subbuf ID 0
* Subbuf ID 1
...
It is therefore easy to translate a subbuf ID into an offset in the
mapping:
reader_id = meta->reader->id;
reader_offset = meta->meta_page_size + reader_id * meta->subbuf_size;
When new data is available, the mapper must call a newly introduced ioctl:
TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER. This will update the Meta-page reader ID to

tracing/probes: support '%pD' type for print struct file's name
As like '%pd' type, this patch supports print type '%pD' for print file's
name. For example "name=$arg1:%pD" casts the `$arg1` as (struct file*),
dereferences the "file.f_path.dentry.d_name.name" field and stores it to
"name" argument as a kernel string.
Here is an example:
[tracing]# echo 'p:testprobe vfs_read name=$arg1:%pD' > kprobe_event
[tracing]# echo 1 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# grep -q "1" events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# echo 0 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# grep "vfs_read" trace | grep "enable"
grep-15108 [003] ..... 5228.328609: testprobe: (vfs_read+0x4/0xbb0) name="enable"
Note that this expects the given argument (e.g. $arg1) is an address of struct
file. User must ensure it.
