When a max stack trace is discovered, the stack dump is saved. In order to
not record the overhead of the stack tracer, the ip of the traced function
is looked for within the dump. The trace is started from the location of
that function. But if for some reason the ip is not found, the entire stack
trace is then truncated. That's not very useful. Instead, print everything
if the ip of the traced function is not found within the trace.
This issue showed up on s390.

The first is a cut and paste issue that changed the amount of stack
to skip when tracing a stack dump from 0 to 6, which basically made
the stack disappear for small stack traces.
The second fix is just removing an unused field in a struct that is no

The third is another cut-and-paste fix that had a tracepoint recording
the wrong field (it was recording the previous field a second time).

We hit ftrace_bug report when booting Android on a 64bit ATOM SOC chip.
Basically, there is a race between insmod and ftrace_run_update_code.
After load_module=>ftrace_module_init, another thread jumps in to call
ftrace_run_update_code=>ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare
=>set_all_modules_text_rw, to change all modules
as RW. Since the new module is at MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, the text attribute
is not changed. Then, the 2nd thread goes ahead to change codes.
However, load_module continues to call complete_formation=>set_section_ro_nx,
then 2nd thread would fail when probing the module's TEXT.
The patch fixes it by using notifier to delay the enabling of ftrace
records to the time when module is at state MODULE_STATE_COMING.

Qiu Peiyang pointed out that there's a race when enabling function tracing
and loading a module. In order to make the modifications of converting nops
in the prologue of functions into callbacks, the text needs to be converted
from read-only to read-write. When enabling function tracing, the text
permission is updated, the functions are modified, and then they are put
back.
When loading a module, the updates to convert function calls to mcount is
done before the module text is set to read-only. But after it is done, the
module text is visible by the function tracer. Thus we have the following
race:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
start function tracing
set text to read-write
load_module
add functions to ftrace
set module text read-only
update all functions to callbacks
modify module functions too
< Can't it's read-only >
When this happens, ftrace detects the issue and disables itself till the
next reboot.
To fix this, a new DISABLED flag is added for ftrace records, which all
module functions get when they are added. Then later, after the module code
is all set, the records will have the DISABLED flag cleared, and they will
be enabled if any callback wants all functions to be traced.
Note, this doesn't add the delay to later. It simply changes the
ftrace_module_init() to do both the setting of DISABLED records, and then
immediately calls the enable code. This helps with testing this new code as
it has the same behavior as previously. Another change will come after this
to have the ftrace_module_enable() called after the text is set to
read-only.

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
When the first time find_next calls find_next_mod_format, it should
iterate the trace_bprintk_fmt_list to find the first print format of
the module. However in current code, start_index is smaller than *pos
at first, and code will not iterate the list. Latter container_of will
get the wrong address with former v, which will cause mod_fmt be a
meaningless object and so is the returned mod_fmt->fmt.
This patch will fix it by correcting the start_index. After fixed,
when the first time calls find_next_mod_format, start_index will be
equal to *pos, and code will iterate the trace_bprintk_fmt_list to
get the right module printk format, so is the returned mod_fmt->fmt.

Jiri Olsa noted that the change to replace the control_ops did not update
the trampoline for when running perf on a single CPU and with CONFIG_PREEMPT
disabled (where dynamic ops, like perf, can use trampolines directly). The
result was that perf function could be called when RCU is not watching as
well as not handle the ftrace_local_disable().
Modify the ftrace_ops_get_func() to also check the RCU and PER_CPU ops flags
and use the recursive function if they are set. The recursive function is
modified to check those flags and execute the appropriate checks if they are
set.

Currently perf has its own list function within the ftrace infrastructure
that seems to be used only to allow for it to have per-cpu disabling as well
as a check to make sure that it's not called while RCU is not watching. It
uses something called the "control_ops" which is used to iterate over ops
under it with the control_list_func().
The problem is that this control_ops and control_list_func unnecessarily
complicates the code. By replacing FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL with two new flags
(FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU and FTRACE_OPS_FL_PER_CPU) we can remove all the code
that is special with the control ops and add the needed checks within the
generic ftrace_list_func().

When showing all tramps registered to a ftrace record in the file
enabled_functions, it exits the loop with ops == NULL. But then it is
suppose to show the function on the ops->trampoline and
add_trampoline_func() is called with the given ops. But because ops is now
NULL (to exit the loop), it always shows the static trampoline instead of
the one that is really registered to the record.
The call to add_trampoline_func() that shows the trampoline for the given
ops needs to be called at every iteration.

tracepoints. By adding the callbacks to sched_wakeup, pids in the
set_event_pid file will trace the wakeups of those tasks with those pids.
But sched_wakeup_new and sched_waking were missed. These two should also be

When an anomaly is detected in the function call modification code,

When an anomaly is found while modifying function code, ftrace_bug() is
called which disables the function tracing infrastructure and reports
information about what failed. If the code that is to be replaced does not
match what is expected, then actual code is shown. Currently there is no
arch generic way to show what was expected.
Add a new variable pointer calld ftrace_expected that the arch code can set
to point to what it expected so that ftrace_bug() can report the actual text
as well as the text that was expected to be there.

The ftrace function hook utility has several internal checks to make sure
that whatever it modifies is exactly what it expects to be modifying. This
is essential as modifying running code can be extremely dangerous to the
system.
When an anomaly is detected, ftrace_bug() is called which sends a splat to
the console and disables function tracing. There's some extra information
that is printed to help diagnose the issue.
One thing that is missing though is output of what ftrace was doing at the
time of the crash. Was it updating a call site or perhaps converting a call
site to a nop? A new global enum variable is created to state what ftrace
was doing at the time of the anomaly, and this is reported in ftrace_bug().

an effect on that modified parameter. Now that the parameter is a
descriptor and any modifications to it are non-volatile, the size of the
data could be unnecessarily expanded.

rb_get_reader_page() only returns a page if it has an event on it, otherwise
it will return NULL. At that point, check if the page being returned has
events and has not been read yet. Then at that point update the read_stamp
to match the time stamp of the reader page.

One patch is needed to make tracing work without debugfs now that tracing
uses its own tracefs.
The second is removing an unused variable.
The third is fixing a warning about unused variables when MAX_TRACER is
not configured. Note, this warning shows up in gcc 6.0, but does not show
up in gcc 4.9, as it seems that gcc does not complain about constants
not being used.

In my ARM randconfig tests, I'm getting a build error for
newly added code in bpf_perf_event_read and bpf_perf_event_output
whenever CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS is disabled:

This can happen when UPROBE_EVENT is enabled but KPROBE_EVENT
is disabled. I'm not sure if that is a configuration we care
about, otherwise we could prevent this case from occuring by
adding Kconfig dependencies.
Looking at this further, it's really that UPROBE_EVENT enables PERF_EVENTS.
By just having BPF_EVENTS depend on PERF_EVENTS, then all is fine.

Since the ring buffer is lockless, there is no need to disable ftrace on
CPU. And no one doing so: after commit 68179686ac ("tracing: Remove
ftrace_disable/enable_cpu()") ftrace_cpu_disabled stays the same after
initialization, nothing changes it.
ftrace_cpu_disabled shouldn't be used by any external module since it
disables only function and graph_function tracers but not any other
tracer.

opened and found lots of patches to pull. I ran them through all my tests
and they were in linux-next for a few days.
Features added this release:
----------------------------
o Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
o Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer
options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory
even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible
when the tracer is active in the trace_options file.
o Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific
options are global)
o New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then
all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of
this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee
pids.

Currently tracing_init_dentry() returns -ENODEV when debugfs is not
configured in, which causes tracefs not populated with tracing files and
directories, so we will get an empty directory even after we manually
mount tracefs.
We can make tracing_init_dentry() return NULL if debugfs is not
configured in and can manually mount tracefs. But return -ENODEV
if debugfs is configured in but not initialized or failed to create
automount point as that would break backward compatibility with older
tools.

Both early_enable_events() and apply_trace_boot_options() parse a boot
string that may get parsed later on. They both use strsep() which converts a
comma into a nul character. To still allow the boot string to be parsed
again the same way, the nul character gets converted back to a comma after
the token is processed.
The problem is that these two functions check for an empty parameter (two
commas in a row ",,"), and continue the loop if the parameter is empty, but
fails to place the comma back. In this case, the second parsing will end at
this blank field, and not process fields afterward.
In most cases, users should not have an empty field, but if its going to be
checked, the code might as well be correct.

Currently, the trace_options parameter is only applied in
tracer_alloc_buffers() when global_trace.current_trace is nop_trace,
so a tracer specific option will not be applied even when the specific
tracer is also enabled from kernel command line. For example, the
'func_stack_trace' option can't be enabled with the following kernel
parameter:
ftrace=function ftrace_filter=kfree trace_options=func_stack_trace
We can enable tracer specific options by simply apply the options again
if the specific tracer is also supplied from command line and started
in register_tracer().
To make trace_boot_options_buf can be parsed again, a comma and a space
is put back if they were replaced by strsep and strstrip respectively.
Also make register_tracer() be __init to access the __init data, and
in fact register_tracer is only called from __init code.

The commit b44754d826 ("ring_buffer: Allow to exit the ring
buffer benchmark immediately") added a hack into ring_buffer_producer()
that set @kill_test when kthread_should_stop() returned true. It improved
the situation a lot. It stopped the kthread in most cases because
the producer spent most of the time in the patched while cycle.
But there are still few possible races when kthread_should_stop()
is set outside of the cycle. Then we do not set @kill_test and
some other checks pass.
This patch adds a better fix. It renames @test_kill/TEST_KILL() into
a better descriptive @test_error/TEST_ERROR(). Also it introduces
break_test() function that checks for both @test_error and
kthread_should_stop().
The new function is used in the producer when the check for @test_error
is not enough. It is not used in the consumer because its state
is manipulated by the producer via the "reader_finish" variable.
Also we add a missing check into ring_buffer_producer_thread()
between setting TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE and calling schedule_timeout().
Otherwise, we might miss a wakeup from kthread_stop().

It seems that complete(&read_done) might be called too early
in some situations.
1st scenario:
-------------
CPU0 CPU1
ring_buffer_producer_thread()
wake_up_process(consumer);
wait_for_completion(&read_start);
ring_buffer_consumer_thread()
complete(&read_start);
ring_buffer_producer()
# producing data in
# the do-while cycle
ring_buffer_consumer();
# reading data
# got error
# set kill_test = 1;
set_current_state(
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
if (reader_finish) # false

# producer still in the middle of
# do-while cycle
if (consumer && !(cnt % wakeup_interval))
wake_up_process(consumer);
# spurious wakeup
while (!reader_finish &&
!kill_test)
# leaving because
# kill_test == 1
reader_finish = 0;
complete(&read_done);
1st BANG: We might access uninitialized "read_done" if this is the
the first round.
# producer finally leaving
# the do-while cycle because kill_test == 1;
if (consumer) {
reader_finish = 1;
wake_up_process(consumer);
wait_for_completion(&read_done);
2nd BANG: This will never complete because consumer already did
the completion.
2nd scenario:
-------------
CPU0 CPU1
ring_buffer_producer_thread()
wake_up_process(consumer);
wait_for_completion(&read_start);
ring_buffer_consumer_thread()
complete(&read_start);
ring_buffer_producer()
# CPU3 removes the module <--- difference from
# and stops producer <--- the 1st scenario
if (kthread_should_stop())
kill_test = 1;
ring_buffer_consumer();
while (!reader_finish &&
!kill_test)
# kill_test == 1 => we never go
# into the top level while()
reader_finish = 0;
complete(&read_done);

if (consumer && !(cnt % wakeup_interval))
wake_up_process(consumer);
# spurious wakeup
while (!reader_finish &&
!kill_test)
# leaving because kill_test == 1
reader_finish = 0;
complete(&read_done);
BANG: We are in the same "bang" situations as in the 1st scenario.
Root of the problem:
--------------------
ring_buffer_consumer() must complete "read_done" only when "reader_finish"
variable is set. It must not be skipped due to other conditions.
Note that we still must keep the check for "reader_finish" in a loop
because there might be spurious wakeups as described in the
above scenarios.
Solution:
----------
The top level cycle in ring_buffer_consumer() will finish only when
"reader_finish" is set. The data will be read in "while-do" cycle
so that they are not read after an error (kill_test == 1)
or a spurious wake up.
In addition, "reader_finish" is manipulated by the producer thread.
Therefore we add READ_ONCE() to make sure that the fresh value is
read in each cycle. Also we add the corresponding barrier
to synchronize the sleep check.
Next we set the state back to TASK_RUNNING for the situation where we
did not sleep.
Just from paranoid reasons, we initialize both completions statically.
This is safer, in case there are other races that we are unaware of.
As a side effect we could remove the memory barrier from
ring_buffer_producer_thread(). IMHO, this was the reason for
the barrier. ring_buffer_reset() uses spin locks that should
provide the needed memory barrier for using the buffer.

TP_ARGS is not used anywhere in trace.h nor trace_entries.h
Firstly, I left just #undef TP_ARGS and had no errors - remove it.
