ftrace: create __mcount_loc section
This patch creates a section in the kernel called "__mcount_loc".
This will hold a list of pointers to the mcount relocation for
each call site of mcount.
For example:
objdump -dr init/main.o
[...]
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000000000 <do_one_initcall>:
0: 55 push %rbp
[...]
000000000000017b <init_post>:
17b: 55 push %rbp
17c: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
17f: 53 push %rbx
180: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp
184: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 189 <init_post+0xe>
185: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc
[...]
We will add a section to point to each function call.
.section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
[...]
.quad .text + 0x185
[...]
The offset to of the mcount call site in init_post is an offset from
the start of the section, and not the start of the function init_post.
The mcount relocation is at the call site 0x185 from the start of the
.text section.
.text + 0x185 == init_post + 0xa
We need a way to add this __mcount_loc section in a way that we do not
lose the relocations after final link. The .text section here will
be attached to all other .text sections after final link and the
offsets will be meaningless. We need to keep track of where these
.text sections are.
To do this, we use the start of the first function in the section.
do_one_initcall. We can make a tmp.s file with this function as a reference
to the start of the .text section.
.section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
[...]
.quad do_one_initcall + 0x185
[...]
Then we can compile the tmp.s into a tmp.o
gcc -c tmp.s -o tmp.o
And link it into back into main.o.
ld -r main.o tmp.o -o tmp_main.o
mv tmp_main.o main.o
But we have a problem. What happens if the first function in a section
is not exported, and is a static function. The linker will not let
the tmp.o use it. This case exists in main.o as well.
Disassembly of section .init.text:
0000000000000000 <set_reset_devices>:
0: 55 push %rbp
1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
4: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 9 <set_reset_devices+0x9>
5: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc
The first function in .init.text is a static function.
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
The lowercase 't' means that set_reset_devices is local and is not exported.
If we simply try to link the tmp.o with the set_reset_devices we end
up with two symbols: one local and one global.
.section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
.quad set_reset_devices + 0x10
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
U set_reset_devices
We still have an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, and if we try
to compile the kernel, we will end up with an undefined reference to
set_reset_devices, or even worst, it could be exported someplace else,
and then we will have a reference to the wrong location.
To handle this case, we make an intermediate step using objcopy.
We convert set_reset_devices into a global exported symbol before linking
it with tmp.o and set it back afterwards.
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
Now we have a section in main.o called __mcount_loc that we can place
somewhere in the kernel using vmlinux.ld.S and access it to convert
all these locations that call mcount into nops before starting SMP
and thus, eliminating the need to do this with kstop_machine.
Note, A well documented perl script (scripts/recordmcount.pl) is used
to do all this in one location.

trace: Stop compiling in trace_clock unconditionally
Commit 56449f437 "tracing: make the trace clocks available generally",
in April 2009, made trace_clock available unconditionally, since
CONFIG_X86_DS used it too.
Commit faa4602e47 "x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code",
in March 2010, removed CONFIG_X86_DS, and now only CONFIG_RING_BUFFER (split
out from CONFIG_TRACING for general use) has a dependency on trace_clock. So,
only compile in trace_clock with CONFIG_RING_BUFFER or CONFIG_TRACING
enabled.

tracing: unified trace buffer
This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that
hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use.
The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure:
struct ring_buffer_event {
u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27;
u32 array[];
};
The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte
aligned inside the buffer.
There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only
the data type is exported to the interface users).
RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end
of a buffer page.
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events
is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another
32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size).
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to
help keep the buffer timestamps in sync.
RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data.
The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be
4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a
max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28
bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the
data load and the len field is set to zero.
Example, data size of 7 bytes:
type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
len = 2
time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty>
This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer.
An event with 82 bytes of data:
type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
len = 0
time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment)
array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty>
The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct).
82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.
Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following
functions to gain access to the event table, since the
ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future.
ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event.
This is the size of the memory used to record this
event, and not the size of the data pay load.
ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event
This returns the delta time stamp since the last event.
Note: Even though this is in the header, there should
be no reason to access this directly, accept
for debugging.
ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event
This is the function to use to get the actual data
from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the
data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to
another location otherwise you risk it being written
over in the buffer.
ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer.
ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer.
ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between
overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will
overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will
throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the
producer. The consumer/producer is the default.
ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu
buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that
the buffer is not being used while this is happening.
This requirement may go away but do not count on it.
ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an
entry on the buffer to write to.
ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to
the buffer.
ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and
consume it. That is, this function increments the head
pointer.
ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer.
For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue
a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator
to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future.
But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which
is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want
to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not
disable the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables
the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator.
ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it.
ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning
of the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end
of the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer.
Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs.
ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty
ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty
ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a
cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you
want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one
cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.
Ftrace max latencies use this.
ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty.

trace: Stop compiling in trace_clock unconditionally
Commit 56449f437 "tracing: make the trace clocks available generally",
in April 2009, made trace_clock available unconditionally, since
CONFIG_X86_DS used it too.
Commit faa4602e47 "x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code",
in March 2010, removed CONFIG_X86_DS, and now only CONFIG_RING_BUFFER (split
out from CONFIG_TRACING for general use) has a dependency on trace_clock. So,
only compile in trace_clock with CONFIG_RING_BUFFER or CONFIG_TRACING
enabled.

tracing: unified trace buffer
This is a unified tracing buffer that implements a ring buffer that
hopefully everyone will eventually be able to use.
The events recorded into the buffer have the following structure:
struct ring_buffer_event {
u32 type:2, len:3, time_delta:27;
u32 array[];
};
The minimum size of an event is 8 bytes. All events are 4 byte
aligned inside the buffer.
There are 4 types (all internal use for the ring buffer, only
the data type is exported to the interface users).
RINGBUF_TYPE_PADDING: this type is used to note extra space at the end
of a buffer page.
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_EXTENT: This type is used when the time between events
is greater than the 27 bit delta can hold. We add another
32 bits, and record that in its own event (8 byte size).
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP: (Not implemented yet). This will hold data to
help keep the buffer timestamps in sync.
RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA: The event actually holds user data.
The "len" field is only three bits. Since the data must be
4 byte aligned, this field is shifted left by 2, giving a
max length of 28 bytes. If the data load is greater than 28
bytes, the first array field holds the full length of the
data load and the len field is set to zero.
Example, data size of 7 bytes:
type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
len = 2
time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
array[0..1]: <7 bytes of data> <1 byte empty>
This event is saved in 12 bytes of the buffer.
An event with 82 bytes of data:
type = RINGBUF_TYPE_DATA
len = 0
time_delta: <time-stamp> - <prev_event-time-stamp>
array[0]: 84 (Note the alignment)
array[1..14]: <82 bytes of data> <2 bytes empty>
The above event is saved in 92 bytes (if my math is correct).
82 bytes of data, 2 bytes empty, 4 byte header, 4 byte length.
Do not reference the above event struct directly. Use the following
functions to gain access to the event table, since the
ring_buffer_event structure may change in the future.
ring_buffer_event_length(event): get the length of the event.
This is the size of the memory used to record this
event, and not the size of the data pay load.
ring_buffer_time_delta(event): get the time delta of the event
This returns the delta time stamp since the last event.
Note: Even though this is in the header, there should
be no reason to access this directly, accept
for debugging.
ring_buffer_event_data(event): get the data from the event
This is the function to use to get the actual data
from the event. Note, it is only a pointer to the
data inside the buffer. This data must be copied to
another location otherwise you risk it being written
over in the buffer.
ring_buffer_lock: A way to lock the entire buffer.
ring_buffer_unlock: unlock the buffer.
ring_buffer_alloc: create a new ring buffer. Can choose between
overwrite or consumer/producer mode. Overwrite will
overwrite old data, where as consumer producer will
throw away new data if the consumer catches up with the
producer. The consumer/producer is the default.
ring_buffer_free: free the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_resize: resize the buffer. Changes the size of each cpu
buffer. Note, it is up to the caller to provide that
the buffer is not being used while this is happening.
This requirement may go away but do not count on it.
ring_buffer_lock_reserve: locks the ring buffer and allocates an
entry on the buffer to write to.
ring_buffer_unlock_commit: unlocks the ring buffer and commits it to
the buffer.
ring_buffer_write: writes some data into the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_peek: Look at a next item in the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_consume: get the next item in the cpu buffer and
consume it. That is, this function increments the head
pointer.
ring_buffer_read_start: Start an iterator of a cpu buffer.
For now, this disables the cpu buffer, until you issue
a finish. This is just because we do not want the iterator
to be overwritten. This restriction may change in the future.
But note, this is used for static reading of a buffer which
is usually done "after" a trace. Live readings would want
to use the ring_buffer_consume above, which will not
disable the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_read_finish: Finishes the read iterator and reenables
the ring buffer.
ring_buffer_iter_peek: Look at the next item in the cpu iterator.
ring_buffer_read: Read the iterator and increment it.
ring_buffer_iter_reset: Reset the iterator to point to the beginning
of the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_iter_empty: Returns true if the iterator is at the end
of the cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_size: returns the size in bytes of each cpu buffer.
Note, the real size is this times the number of CPUs.
ring_buffer_reset_cpu: Sets the cpu buffer to empty
ring_buffer_reset: sets all cpu buffers to empty
ring_buffer_swap_cpu: swaps a cpu buffer from one buffer with a
cpu buffer of another buffer. This is handy when you
want to take a snap shot of a running trace on just one
cpu. Having a backup buffer, to swap with facilitates this.
Ftrace max latencies use this.
ring_buffer_empty: Returns true if the ring buffer is empty.
ring_buffer_empty_cpu: Returns true if the cpu buffer is empty.
ring_buffer_record_disable: disable all cpu buffers (read only)
ring_buffer_record_disable_cpu: disable a single cpu buffer (read only)
ring_buffer_record_enable: enable all cpu buffers.
ring_buffer_record_enabl_cpu: enable a single cpu buffer.
ring_buffer_entries: The number of entries in a ring buffer.
ring_buffer_overruns: The number of entries removed due to writing wrap.
ring_buffer_time_stamp: Get the time stamp used by the ring buffer
ring_buffer_normalize_time_stamp: normalize the ring buffer time stamp
into nanosecs.
I still need to implement the GTOD feature. But we need support from
the cpu frequency infrastructure. But this can be done at a later
time without affecting the ring buffer interface.

function-graph: disable when both x86_32 and optimize for size are configured
On x86_32, when optimize for size is set, gcc may align the frame pointer
and make a copy of the the return address inside the stack frame.
The return address that is located in the stack frame may not be
the one used to return to the calling function. This will break the
function graph tracer.
The function graph tracer replaces the return address with a jump to a hook
function that can trace the exit of the function. If it only replaces
a copy, then the hook will not be called when the function returns.
Worse yet, when the parent function returns, the function graph tracer
will return back to the location of the child function which will
easily crash the kernel with weird results.
To see the problem, when i386 is compiled with -Os we get:
c106be03: 57 push %edi
c106be04: 8d 7c 24 08 lea 0x8(%esp),%edi
c106be08: 83 e4 e0 and $0xffffffe0,%esp
c106be0b: ff 77 fc pushl 0xfffffffc(%edi)
c106be0e: 55 push %ebp
c106be0f: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
c106be11: 57 push %edi
c106be12: 56 push %esi
c106be13: 53 push %ebx
c106be14: 81 ec 8c 00 00 00 sub $0x8c,%esp
c106be1a: e8 f5 57 fb ff call c1021614 <mcount>
When it is compiled with -O2 instead we get:
c10896f0: 55 push %ebp
c10896f1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp
c10896f3: 83 ec 28 sub $0x28,%esp
c10896f6: 89 5d f4 mov %ebx,0xfffffff4(%ebp)
c10896f9: 89 75 f8 mov %esi,0xfffffff8(%ebp)
c10896fc: 89 7d fc mov %edi,0xfffffffc(%ebp)
c10896ff: e8 d0 08 fa ff call c1029fd4 <mcount>
The compile with -Os will align the stack pointer then set up the
frame pointer (%ebp), and it copies the return address back into
the stack frame. The change to the return address in mcount is done
to the copy and not the real place holder of the return address.
Then compile with -O2 sets up the frame pointer first, this makes
the change to the return address by mcount affect where the function
will jump on exit.

tracing: define needed config DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS
Commit 2860cd8a2353 ("livepatch: Use the default ftrace_ops instead of
REGS when ARGS is available") intends to enable config LIVEPATCH when
ftrace with ARGS is available. However, the chain of configs to enable
LIVEPATCH is incomplete, as HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is available,
but the definition of DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, combining DYNAMIC_FTRACE
and HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, needed to enable LIVEPATCH, is missing
in the commit.
Fortunately, ./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py detects this and warns:
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS
Referencing files: kernel/livepatch/Kconfig
So, define the config DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS analogously to the already
existing similar configs, DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS and
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS, in ./kernel/trace/Kconfig to connect the
chain of configs.

trace: Add osnoise tracer
In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating System
Noise (*osnoise*) refers to the interference experienced by an application
due to activities inside the operating system. In the context of Linux,
NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread can cause noise to the
system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can also cause noise, for example,
via SMIs.
The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar
loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all
the sources of *osnoise* during its execution. Using the same approach
of hwlat, osnoise takes note of the entry and exit point of any
source of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The
osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source of
interference. The interference counter for NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and
threads is increased anytime the tool observes these interferences' entry
events. When a noise happens without any interference from the operating
system level, the hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a
hardware-related noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any
source of interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer
prints the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU
available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources.
Usage
Write the ASCII text "osnoise" into the current_tracer file of the
tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing).
For example::
[root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
[root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > current_tracer
It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file::
[root@f32 tracing]# cat trace
# tracer: osnoise
#
# _-----=> irqs-off
# / _----=> need-resched
# | / _---=> hardirq/softirq

In addition to the regular trace fields (from TASK-PID to TIMESTAMP), the
tracer prints a message at the end of each period for each CPU that is
running an osnoise/CPU thread. The osnoise specific fields report:
- The RUNTIME IN USE reports the amount of time in microseconds that
the osnoise thread kept looping reading the time.
- The NOISE IN US reports the sum of noise in microseconds observed
by the osnoise tracer during the associated runtime.
- The % OF CPU AVAILABLE reports the percentage of CPU available for
the osnoise thread during the runtime window.
- The MAX SINGLE NOISE IN US reports the maximum single noise observed
during the runtime window.
- The Interference counters display how many each of the respective
interference happened during the runtime window.
Note that the example above shows a high number of HW noise samples.
The reason being is that this sample was taken on a virtual machine,
and the host interference is detected as a hardware interference.
Tracer options
The tracer has a set of options inside the osnoise directory, they are:
- osnoise/cpus: CPUs at which a osnoise thread will execute.
- osnoise/period_us: the period of the osnoise thread.
- osnoise/runtime_us: how long an osnoise thread will look for noise.
- osnoise/stop_tracing_us: stop the system tracing if a single noise
higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this
option.
- osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us: stop the system tracing if total noise
higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this
option.
- tracing_threshold: the minimum delta between two time() reads to be
considered as noise, in us. When set to 0, the default value will
be used, which is currently 5 us.
Additional Tracing
In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to
facilitate the identification of the osnoise source.
- osnoise:sample_threshold: printed anytime a noise is higher than
the configurable tolerance_ns.
- osnoise:nmi_noise: noise from NMI, including the duration.
- osnoise:irq_noise: noise from an IRQ, including the duration.
- osnoise:softirq_noise: noise from a SoftIRQ, including the
duration.
- osnoise:thread_noise: noise from a thread, including the duration.
Note that all the values are *net values*. For example, if while osnoise
is running, another thread preempts the osnoise thread, it will start a
thread_noise duration at the start. Then, an IRQ takes place, preempting
the thread_noise, starting a irq_noise. When the IRQ ends its execution,
it will compute its duration, and this duration will be subtracted from
the thread_noise, in such a way as to avoid the double accounting of the
IRQ execution. This logic is valid for all sources of noise.
Here is one example of the usage of these tracepoints::
osnoise/8-961 [008] d.h. 5789.857532: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.857529929 duration 1845 ns
osnoise/8-961 [008] dNh. 5789.858408: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.858404871 duration 2848 ns
migration/8-54 [008] d... 5789.858413: thread_noise: migration/8:54 start 5789.858409300 duration 3068 ns
osnoise/8-961 [008] .... 5789.858413: sample_threshold: start 5789.858404555 duration 8723 ns interferences 2
In this example, a noise sample of 8 microseconds was reported in the last
line, pointing to two interferences. Looking backward in the trace, the
two previous entries were about the migration thread running after a
timer IRQ execution. The first event is not part of the noise because
it took place one millisecond before.
It is worth noticing that the sum of the duration reported in the
tracepoints is smaller than eight us reported in the sample_threshold.
The reason roots in the overhead of the entry and exit code that happens
before and after any interference execution. This justifies the dual
approach: measuring thread and tracing.

The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers
|
|
|
|
to find sources of wakeup latencies of real-time threads.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority.
|
|
|
|
The tracer thread sets a periodic timer to wakeup itself, and goes
|
|
|
|
to sleep waiting for the timer to fire. At the wakeup, the thread
|
|
|
|
then computes a wakeup latency value as the difference between
|
|
|
|
the current time and the absolute time that the timer was set
|
|
|
|
to expire.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tracer prints two lines at every activation. The first is the
|
|
|
|
timer latency observed at the hardirq context before the
|
|
|
|
activation of the thread. The second is the timer latency observed
|
|
|
|
by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The
|
|
|
|
ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the irq execution to its
|
|
|
|
respective thread execution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tracer is build on top of osnoise tracer, and the osnoise:
|
|
|
|
events can be used to trace the source of interference from NMI,
|
|
|
|
IRQs and other threads. It also enables the capture of the
|
|
|
|
stacktrace at the IRQ context, which helps to identify the code
|
|
|
|
path that can cause thread delay.

ftrace: create __mcount_loc section
This patch creates a section in the kernel called "__mcount_loc".
This will hold a list of pointers to the mcount relocation for
each call site of mcount.
For example:
objdump -dr init/main.o
[...]
Disassembly of section .text:
0000000000000000 <do_one_initcall>:
0: 55 push %rbp
[...]
000000000000017b <init_post>:
17b: 55 push %rbp
17c: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
17f: 53 push %rbx
180: 48 83 ec 08 sub $0x8,%rsp
184: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 189 <init_post+0xe>
185: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc
[...]
We will add a section to point to each function call.
.section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
[...]
.quad .text + 0x185
[...]
The offset to of the mcount call site in init_post is an offset from
the start of the section, and not the start of the function init_post.
The mcount relocation is at the call site 0x185 from the start of the
.text section.
.text + 0x185 == init_post + 0xa
We need a way to add this __mcount_loc section in a way that we do not
lose the relocations after final link. The .text section here will
be attached to all other .text sections after final link and the
offsets will be meaningless. We need to keep track of where these
.text sections are.
To do this, we use the start of the first function in the section.
do_one_initcall. We can make a tmp.s file with this function as a reference
to the start of the .text section.
.section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
[...]
.quad do_one_initcall + 0x185
[...]
Then we can compile the tmp.s into a tmp.o
gcc -c tmp.s -o tmp.o
And link it into back into main.o.
ld -r main.o tmp.o -o tmp_main.o
mv tmp_main.o main.o
But we have a problem. What happens if the first function in a section
is not exported, and is a static function. The linker will not let
the tmp.o use it. This case exists in main.o as well.
Disassembly of section .init.text:
0000000000000000 <set_reset_devices>:
0: 55 push %rbp
1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp
4: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 9 <set_reset_devices+0x9>
5: R_X86_64_PC32 mcount+0xfffffffffffffffc
The first function in .init.text is a static function.
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
The lowercase 't' means that set_reset_devices is local and is not exported.
If we simply try to link the tmp.o with the set_reset_devices we end
up with two symbols: one local and one global.
.section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits
.quad set_reset_devices + 0x10
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
U set_reset_devices
We still have an undefined reference to set_reset_devices, and if we try
to compile the kernel, we will end up with an undefined reference to
set_reset_devices, or even worst, it could be exported someplace else,
and then we will have a reference to the wrong location.
To handle this case, we make an intermediate step using objcopy.
We convert set_reset_devices into a global exported symbol before linking
it with tmp.o and set it back afterwards.
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 T set_reset_devices
00000000000000a8 t __setup_set_reset_devices
000000000000105f t __setup_str_set_reset_devices
0000000000000000 t set_reset_devices
Now we have a section in main.o called __mcount_loc that we can place
somewhere in the kernel using vmlinux.ld.S and access it to convert
all these locations that call mcount into nops before starting SMP
and thus, eliminating the need to do this with kstop_machine.
Note, A well documented perl script (scripts/recordmcount.pl) is used
to do all this in one location.

user_events: Add minimal support for trace_event into ftrace
Minimal support for interacting with dynamic events, trace_event and
ftrace. Core outline of flow between user process, ioctl and trace_event
APIs.
User mode processes that wish to use trace events to get data into
ftrace, perf, eBPF, etc are limited to uprobes today. The user events
features enables an ABI for user mode processes to create and write to
trace events that are isolated from kernel level trace events. This
enables a faster path for tracing from user mode data as well as opens
managed code to participate in trace events, where stub locations are
dynamic.
User processes often want to trace only when it's useful. To enable this
a set of pages are mapped into the user process space that indicate the
current state of the user events that have been registered. User
processes can check if their event is hooked to a trace/probe, and if it
is, emit the event data out via the write() syscall.
Two new files are introduced into tracefs to accomplish this:
user_events_status - This file is mmap'd into participating user mode
processes to indicate event status.
user_events_data - This file is opened and register/delete ioctl's are
issued to create/open/delete trace events that can be used for tracing.
The typical scenario is on process start to mmap user_events_status. Processes
then register the events they plan to use via the REG ioctl. The ioctl reads
and updates the passed in user_reg struct. The status_index of the struct is
used to know the byte in the status page to check for that event. The
write_index of the struct is used to describe that event when writing out to
the fd that was used for the ioctl call. The data must always include this
index first when writing out data for an event. Data can be written either by
write() or by writev().
For example, in memory:
int index;
char data[];
Psuedo code example of typical usage:
struct user_reg reg;
int page_fd = open("user_events_status", O_RDWR);
char *page_data = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, page_fd, 0);
close(page_fd);
int data_fd = open("user_events_data", O_RDWR);
reg.size = sizeof(reg);
reg.name_args = (__u64)"test";
ioctl(data_fd, DIAG_IOCSREG, ®);
int status_id = reg.status_index;
int write_id = reg.write_index;
struct iovec io[2];
io[0].iov_base = &write_id;
io[0].iov_len = sizeof(write_id);
io[1].iov_base = payload;
io[1].iov_len = sizeof(payload);
if (page_data[status_id])
writev(data_fd, io, 2);
User events are also exposed via the dynamic_events tracefs file for
both create and delete. Current status is exposed via the user_events_status
tracefs file.
Simple example to register a user event via dynamic_events:
echo u:test >> dynamic_events
cat dynamic_events
u:test
If an event is hooked to a probe, the probe hooked shows up:
echo 1 > events/user_events/test/enable
cat user_events_status
1:test # Used by ftrace
Active: 1
Busy: 1
Max: 4096
If an event is not hooked to a probe, no probe status shows up:
echo 0 > events/user_events/test/enable
cat user_events_status
1:test
Active: 1
Busy: 0
Max: 4096
Users can describe the trace event format via the following format:
name[:FLAG1[,FLAG2...] [field1[;field2...]]
Each field has the following format:
type name
Example for char array with a size of 20 named msg:
echo 'u:detailed char[20] msg' >> dynamic_events
cat dynamic_events
u:detailed char[20] msg
Data offsets are based on the data written out via write() and will be
updated to reflect the correct offset in the trace_event fields. For dynamic
data it is recommended to use the new __rel_loc data type. This type will be
the same as __data_loc, but the offset is relative to this entry. This allows
user_events to not worry about what common fields are being inserted before
the data.
The above format is valid for both the ioctl and the dynamic_events file.

tracing: mark user_events as BROKEN
After being merged, user_events become more visible to a wider audience
that have concerns with the current API.
It is too late to fix this for this release, but instead of a full
revert, just mark it as BROKEN (which prevents it from being selected in
make config). Then we can work finding a better API. If that fails,
then it will need to be completely reverted.
To not have the code silently bitrot, still allow building it with
COMPILE_TEST.
And to prevent the uapi header from being installed, then later changed,
and then have an old distro user space see the old version, move the
header file out of the uapi directory.
Surround the include with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST to the current location,
but when the BROKEN tag is taken off, it will use the uapi directory,
and fail to compile. This is a good way to remind us to move the header
back.

tracing: Add 'hist' event trigger command
'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events,
which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file
containing the aggregation in a human-readable format.
The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby
trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and
viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables
completely defined by the user.
This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and
without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter.
A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users
via this simple mechanism. In fact, a large number of the tasks that
users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing
tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be
accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used
in the creation of a hash table.
The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive
list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of
the event format files associated with each trace event. By simply
consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging
them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number
of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties
of the system. See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples.
hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger
infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers
from a user's perspective as well.
The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax. Users start an
aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's
trigger file:
# echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger
Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually
aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key
and a value field named 'hitcount'.
To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist'
file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file:
# cat event/hist
The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and
is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the
virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

from a user's perspective as well.
The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax. Users start an
aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's
trigger file:
# echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger
Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually
aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key
and a value field named 'hitcount'.
To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist'
file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file:
# cat event/hist
The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and
is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the
virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

tracing: Add 'hist' event trigger command
'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events,
which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file
containing the aggregation in a human-readable format.
The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby
trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and
viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables
completely defined by the user.
This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and
without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter.
A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users
via this simple mechanism. In fact, a large number of the tasks that
users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing
tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be
accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used
in the creation of a hash table.
The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive
list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of
the event format files associated with each trace event. By simply
consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging
them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number
of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties
of the system. See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples.
hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger

tracing: Introduce trace event injection
We have been trying to use rasdaemon to monitor hardware errors like
correctable memory errors. rasdaemon uses trace events to monitor
various hardware errors. In order to test it, we have to inject some
hardware errors, unfortunately not all of them provide error
injections. MCE does provide a way to inject MCE errors, but errors
like PCI error and devlink error don't, it is not easy to add error
injection to each of them. Instead, it is relatively easier to just
allow users to inject trace events in a generic way so that all trace
events can be injected.
This patch introduces trace event injection, where a new 'inject' is
added to each tracepoint directory. Users could write into this file
with key=value pairs to specify the value of each fields of the trace
event, all unspecified fields are set to zero values by default.
For example, for the net/net_dev_queue tracepoint, we can inject:
INJECT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/inject
echo "" > $INJECT
echo "name='test'" > $INJECT
echo "name='test' len=1024" > $INJECT
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
...
<...>-614 [000] .... 36.571483: net_dev_queue: dev= skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=0
<...>-614 [001] .... 136.588252: net_dev_queue: dev=test skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=0
<...>-614 [001] .N.. 208.431878: net_dev_queue: dev=test skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=1024
Triggers could be triggered as usual too:
echo "stacktrace if len == 1025" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/trigger
echo "len=1025" > $INJECT
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
...

=> event_inject_write
=> vfs_write
=> ksys_write
=> do_syscall_64
=> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
The only thing that can't be injected is string pointers as they
require constant string pointers, this can't be done at run time.

When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
|
2021-03-02 11:49:28 +03:00

|
|
goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_resched() to let other tasks
|
2014-05-30 06:49:07 +04:00
|
|
|
run), and calls the tracepoint. Each iteration will record the time
|
|
|
|
it took to write to the tracepoint and the next iteration that
|
|
|
|
data will be passed to the tracepoint itself. That is, the tracepoint
|
|
|
|
will report the time it took to do the previous tracepoint.
|
|
|
|
The string written to the tracepoint is a static string of 128 bytes
|
|
|
|
to keep the time the same. The initial string is simply a write of
|
|
|
|
"START". The second string records the cold cache time of the first
|
|
|
|
write which is not added to the rest of the calculations.
|
|
|
|
|
|

As it is a tight loop, it benchmarks as hot cache. That's fine because
|
|

we care most about hot paths that are probably in cache already.

The "print fmt" of the trace events will show the enum/sizeof names
|

instead of their values. This can cause problems for user space tools
|

that use this string to parse the raw data as user space does not know
|
|
|
|
how to convert the string to its value.
|
|
|
|
|

To fix this, there's a special macro in the kernel that can be used
|
|
|
|
to convert an enum/sizeof into its value. If this macro is used, then
|
|
|
|
the print fmt strings will be converted to their values.

|
|
|

If something does not get converted properly, this option can be
|
|

This option is for debugging the conversions. A file is created

names matched with their values and what trace event system they
|
|
|
|
belong too.
|
|
|
|
|
|

Normally, the mapping of the strings to values will be freed after
|
|
|

boot up or module load. With this option, they will not be freed, as
|

they are needed for the "eval_map" file. Enabling this option will

increase the memory footprint of the running kernel.

This is a dumb module for testing mmiotrace. It is very dangerous
|
|
|
|
as it will write garbage to IO memory starting at a given address.
|
|
|
|
However, it should be safe to use on e.g. unused portion of VRAM.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Say N, unless you absolutely know what you are doing.

Select this option to build a test module that can help test latency

|
|
|
tracers by executing a preempt or irq disable section with a user
|
|
|
|
configurable delay. The module busy waits for the duration of the
|
|
|

critical section.

For example, the following invocation generates a burst of three
|
|
|
|
irq-disabled critical sections for 500us:
|
|
|
|
modprobe preemptirq_delay_test test_mode=irq delay=500 burst_size=3

What's more, if you want to attach the test on the cpu which the latency

tracer is running on, specify cpu_affinity=cpu_num at the end of the

|
|
|
command.

Add "hist_debug" file for each event, which when read will

dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers

defined on that event.

The hist_debug file serves a couple of purposes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Helps developers verify that nothing is broken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Provides educational information to support the details

of the hist trigger internals as described by

Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst.
|

The hist_debug output only covers the data structures
|

related to the histogram definitions themselves and doesn't
|
|
|
|
display the internals of map buckets or variable values of
|
|
|
|
running histograms.

rv: Add Runtime Verification (RV) interface
RV is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method that complements classical
exhaustive verification techniques (such as model checking and
theorem proving) with a more practical approach to complex systems.
RV works by analyzing the trace of the system's actual execution,
comparing it against a formal specification of the system behavior.
RV can give precise information on the runtime behavior of the
monitored system while enabling the reaction for unexpected
events, avoiding, for example, the propagation of a failure on
safety-critical systems.
The development of this interface roots in the development of the
paper:
De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot; Cucinotta, Tommaso; De Oliveira, Romulo
Silva. Efficient formal verification for the Linux kernel. In:
International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods.
Springer, Cham, 2019. p. 315-332.
And:
De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot. Automata-based formal analysis
and verification of the real-time Linux kernel. PhD Thesis, 2020.
The RV interface resembles the tracing/ interface on purpose. The current
path for the RV interface is /sys/kernel/tracing/rv/.
It presents these files:
"available_monitors"
- List the available monitors, one per line.
For example:
# cat available_monitors
wip
wwnr
"enabled_monitors"
- Lists the enabled monitors, one per line;
- Writing to it enables a given monitor;
- Writing a monitor name with a '!' prefix disables it;
- Truncating the file disables all enabled monitors.
For example:
# cat enabled_monitors
# echo wip > enabled_monitors
# echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
wip
wwnr
# echo '!wip' >> enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
wwnr
# echo > enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
#
Note that more than one monitor can be enabled concurrently.
"monitoring_on"
- It is an on/off general switcher for monitoring. Note
that it does not disable enabled monitors or detach events,
but stop the per-entity monitors of monitoring the events
received from the system. It resembles the "tracing_on" switcher.
"monitors/"
Each monitor will have its one directory inside "monitors/". There
the monitor specific files will be presented.
The "monitors/" directory resembles the "events" directory on
tracefs.
For example:
# cd monitors/wip/
# ls
desc enable
# cat desc
wakeup in preemptive per-cpu testing monitor.
# cat enable
0

kernel/trace/rv/rv.c from this patch.
