tracing: Consolidate trace() functions

2020-02-11T03:00:21+00:00

Move the checking, buffer reserve and buffer commit code in synth_event_trace_start/end() into inline functions __synth_event_trace_start/end() so they can also be used by synth_event_trace() and synth_event_trace_array(), and then have all those functions use them. Also, change synth_event_trace_state.enabled to disabled so it only needs to be set if the event is disabled, which is not normally the case.

tracing: Don't return -EINVAL when tracing soft disabled synth events

2020-02-11T03:00:13+00:00

There's no reason to return -EINVAL when tracing a synthetic event if it's soft disabled - treat it the same as if it were hard disabled and return normally. Have synth_event_trace() and synth_event_trace_array() just return normally, and have synth_event_trace_start set the trace state to disabled and return.

tracing: Add missing nest end to synth_event_trace_start() error case

2020-02-11T02:58:19+00:00

If the ring_buffer reserve in synth_event_trace_start() fails, the matching ring_buffer_nest_end() should be called in the error code, since nothing else will ever call it in this case.

tracing/kprobe: Fix uninitialized variable bug

2020-02-10T17:07:42+00:00

There is a potential execution path in which variable *ret* is returned without being properly initialized, previously. Fix this by initializing variable *ret* to 0.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added new "bootconfig". This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options, and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers. Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup. Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line. - Created dynamic event creation. Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe events. - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer" - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer" Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer" - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code. - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly - Various other small fixes and clean ups * tag 'trace-v5.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (88 commits) bootconfig: Show the number of nodes on boot message tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodes bootconfig: Add more parse error messages bootconfig: Use bootconfig instead of boot config ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync ftrace: Add comment to why rcu_dereference_sched() is open coded tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_notrace_hash pointer with __rcu tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_hash pointer with __rcu bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdline tracing: Use seq_buf for building dynevent_cmd string tracing: Remove useless code in dynevent_arg_pair_add() tracing: Remove check_arg() callbacks from dynevent args tracing: Consolidate some synth_event_trace code tracing: Fix now invalid var_ref_vals assumption in trace action tracing: Change trace_boot to use synth_event interface tracing: Move tracing selftests to bottom of menu tracing: Move mmio tracer config up with the other tracers tracing: Move tracing test module configs together tracing: Move all function tracing configs together tracing: Documentation for in-kernel synthetic event API ...

ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync

2020-02-05T22:16:42+00:00

As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.

ftrace: Add comment to why rcu_dereference_sched() is open coded

2020-02-05T22:15:57+00:00

Because the function graph tracer can execute in sections where RCU is not "watching", the rcu_dereference_sched() for the has needs to be open coded. This is fine because the RCU "flavor" of the ftrace hash is protected by its own RCU handling (it does its own little synchronization on every CPU and does not rely on RCU sched).
