The freeing of an instance, if max data is configured, there will be
per cpu data structures created. But these are not freed when the instance
is deleted, which causes a memory leak.
A new helper function is added that frees the individual buffers within a
trace array, instead of duplicating the code. This way changes made for one
are applied to the other (normal buffer vs max buffer).

The per_cpu buffers are created one per possible CPU. But these do
not mean that those CPUs are online, nor do they even exist.
With the addition of the ring buffer polling, it assumes that the
caller polls on an existing buffer. But this is not the case if
the user reads trace_pipe from a CPU that does not exist, and this
causes the kernel to crash.
Simple fix is to check the cpu against buffer bitmask against to see
if the buffer was allocated or not and return -ENODEV if it is
not.
More updates were done to pass the -ENODEV back up to userspace.

When an instance is created, it also gets a snapshot ring buffer
allocated (with minimum of pages). But when it is deleted the snapshot
buffer is not. There was a helper function added to match the allocation
of these ring buffers to a way to free them, but it wasn't used by
the deletion of an instance. Using that helper function solves this
memory leak.

Yoshihiro Yunomae reported that the ring buffer data for a trace
instance does not get properly cleaned up when it fails. He proposed
a patch that manually cleaned the data up and addad a bunch of labels.
The labels are not needed because all trace array is allocated with
a kzalloc which initializes it to 0 and all kfree()s can take a NULL
pointer and will ignore it.
Adding a new helper function free_trace_buffers() that can also take
null buffers to free the buffers that were allocated by
allocate_trace_buffers().

ftrace_trace_arrays links global_trace.list. However, global_trace
is not added to ftrace_trace_arrays if trace_alloc_buffers() failed.
As the result, ftrace_trace_arrays becomes an empty list. If
ftrace_trace_arrays is an empty list, current top_trace_array() returns
an invalid pointer. As the result, the kernel can induce memory corruption
or panic.
Current implementation does not check whether ftrace_trace_arrays is empty
list or not. So, in this patch, if ftrace_trace_arrays is empty list,
top_trace_array() returns NULL. Moreover, this patch makes all functions
calling top_trace_array() handle it appropriately.

Introduce saved_cmdlines_size file for changing the number of saved pid-comms.
saved_cmdlines currently stores 128 command names using SAVED_CMDLINES, but
'no-existing processes' names are often lost in saved_cmdlines when we
read the trace data. So, by introducing saved_cmdlines_size file, we can
now change the 128 command names saved to something much larger if needed.
When we write a value to saved_cmdlines_size, the number of the value will
be stored in pid-comm list:
# echo 1024 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/saved_cmdlines_size
Here, 1024 command names can be stored. The default number is 128 and the maximum
number is PID_MAX_DEFAULT (=32768 if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is not set). So, if we
want to avoid losing any command names, we need to set 32768 to
saved_cmdlines_size.
We can read the maximum number of the list:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/saved_cmdlines_size
128

the helper function that allocates the buffers will free the per cpu data
on failure. No need to do it again. In fact, the second free will cause

In order to prevent the saved cmdline cache from being filled when
tracing is not active, the comms are only recorded after a trace event
is recorded.
The problem is, a comm can fail to be recorded if the trace_cmdline_lock
is held. That lock is taken via a trylock to allow it to happen from
any context (including NMI). If the lock fails to be taken, the comm
is skipped. No big deal, as we will try again later.
But! Because of the code that was added to only record after an event,
we may not try again later as the recording is made as a oneshot per
event per CPU.
Only disable the recording of the comm if the comm is actually recorded.

Current tracing_saved_cmdlines_read() implementation is naive; It allocates
a large buffer, constructs output data to that buffer for each read
operation, and then copies a portion of the buffer to the user space
buffer. This has several issues such as slow memory allocation, high
CPU usage, and even corruption of the output data.
The seq_read infrastructure is made to handle this type of work.
By converting it to use seq_read() the code becomes smaller, simplified,
as well as correct.

In order to help benchmark the time tracepoints take, a new config
option is added called CONFIG_TRACEPOINT_BENCHMARK. When this option
is set a tracepoint is created called "benchmark:benchmark_event".
When the tracepoint is enabled, it kicks off a kernel thread that
goes into an infinite loop (calling cond_sched() to let other tasks
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.
An example of the output:
START
first=3672 [COLD CACHED]
last=632 first=3672 max=632 min=632 avg=316 std=446 std^2=199712
last=278 first=3672 max=632 min=278 avg=303 std=316 std^2=100337

trace_printk() is used to debug fast paths within the kernel. Places
that gets called in any context (interrupt or NMI) or thousands of
times a second. Something you do not want to do with a printk().
In order to make it completely lockless as it needs a temporary buffer
to handle some of the string formatting, a page is created per cpu for
every context (four per cpu; normal, softirq, irq, NMI).
Since trace_printk() should only be used for debugging purposes,
there's no reason to waste memory on these buffers on a production
system. That means, trace_printk() should never be used unless a
developer is debugging their kernel. There's macro magic to allocate
the buffers if trace_printk() is used anywhere in the kernel.
To help enforce that trace_printk() isn't used outside of development,
when it is used, a nasty banner is displayed on bootup (or when a module
is loaded that uses trace_printk() and the kernel core does not).
Here's the banner:
**********************************************************
** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE **
** **
** trace_printk() being used. Allocating extra memory. **
** **
** This means that this is a DEBUG kernel and it is **
** unsafe for produciton use. **
** **
** If you see this message and you are not debugging **
** the kernel, report this immediately to your vendor! **
** **
** NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE **
**********************************************************
That should hopefully keep developers from trying to sneak in a
trace_printk() or two.

Being able to show a cpumask of events can be useful as some events
may affect only some CPUs. There is no standard way to record the
cpumask and converting it to a string is rather expensive during
the trace as traces happen in hotpaths. It would be better to record
the raw event mask and be able to parse it at print time.
The following macros were added for use with the TRACE_EVENT() macro:
__bitmask()
__assign_bitmask()
__get_bitmask()
To test this, I added this to the sched_migrate_task event, which
looked like this:
TRACE_EVENT(sched_migrate_task,
TP_PROTO(struct task_struct *p, int dest_cpu, const struct cpumask *cpus),
TP_ARGS(p, dest_cpu, cpus),
TP_STRUCT__entry(
__array( char, comm, TASK_COMM_LEN )
__field( pid_t, pid )
__field( int, prio )
__field( int, orig_cpu )
__field( int, dest_cpu )
__bitmask( cpumask, num_possible_cpus() )
),
TP_fast_assign(
memcpy(__entry->comm, p->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
__entry->pid = p->pid;
__entry->prio = p->prio;
__entry->orig_cpu = task_cpu(p);
__entry->dest_cpu = dest_cpu;
__assign_bitmask(cpumask, cpumask_bits(cpus), num_possible_cpus());
),
TP_printk("comm=%s pid=%d prio=%d orig_cpu=%d dest_cpu=%d cpumask=%s",
__entry->comm, __entry->pid, __entry->prio,
__entry->orig_cpu, __entry->dest_cpu,
__get_bitmask(cpumask))
);

Commit 4104d326b6 "ftrace: Remove global function list and call

the code simpler, but it left a variable "hash_enable" that was used
to know if the hash functions should be updated or not. It was
updated if the global_ops did not override them. As the global_ops

As trace event triggers are now part of the mainline kernel, I added
my trace event trigger tests to my test suite I run on all my kernels.
Now these tests get run under different config options, and one of
those options is CONFIG_PROVE_RCU, which checks under lockdep that
the rcu locking primitives are being used correctly. This triggered
the following splat:
===============================

The cause is that the triggers are protected by rcu_read_lock_sched() but
the data is dereferenced with rcu_dereference() which expects it to
be protected with rcu_read_lock(). The proper reference should be
rcu_dereference_sched().

Commit 4104d326b6 "ftrace: Remove global function list and call
function directly" cleaned up the global_ops filtering and made
the code simpler. But it left out function graph filtering which
also depended on that code. The function graph filtering still
needs to use global_ops as the filter otherwise it wont filter
at all.

uprobe_perf_open()->uprobe_apply() can fail, but this error is wrongly
ignored. Change uprobe_perf_open() to do uprobe_perf_close() and return
the error code in this case.
Change uprobe_perf_close() to propogate the error from uprobe_apply()
as well, although it should not fail.

Now that the ring buffer has a built in way to wake up readers
when there's data, using irq_work such that it is safe to do it
in any context. But it was still using the old "poor man's"
wait polling that checks every 1/10 of a second to see if it
should wake up a waiter. This makes the latency for a wake up
excruciatingly long. No need to do that anymore.
Completely remove the different wait_poll types from the tracers
and have them all use the default one now.

When reading from trace_pipe, if tracing is off but nothing was read
it should block. If something is read and tracing is off, then EOF
is returned. If tracing is on and there's nothing to read, it will block.
But because the check of whether tracing is off and something was read
is done after the block on the pipe, it is hit or miss if the EOF is
returned or not leading to inconsistent behavior.

A race exists between module loading and enabling of function tracer.
CPU 1 CPU 2
----- -----
load_module()
module->state = MODULE_STATE_COMING
register_ftrace_function()
mutex_lock(&ftrace_lock);
ftrace_startup()
update_ftrace_function();
ftrace_arch_code_modify_prepare()
set_all_module_text_rw();
<enables-ftrace>
ftrace_arch_code_modify_post_process()
set_all_module_text_ro();
[ here all module text is set to RO,
including the module that is
loading!! ]
blocking_notifier_call_chain(MODULE_STATE_COMING);
ftrace_init_module()
[ tries to modify code, but it's RO, and fails!
ftrace_bug() is called]
When this race happens, ftrace_bug() will produces a nasty warning and
all of the function tracing features will be disabled until reboot.
The simple solution is to treate module load the same way the core
kernel is treated at boot. To hardcode the ftrace function modification
of converting calls to mcount into nops. This is done in init/main.c
there's no reason it could not be done in load_module(). This gives
a better control of the changes and doesn't tie the state of the
module to its notifiers as much. Ftrace is special, it needs to be
treated as such.
The reason this would work, is that the ftrace_module_init() would be
called while the module is in MODULE_STATE_UNFORMED, which is ignored
by the set_all_module_text_ro() call.

When using ftrace_ops_list_func, we should skip 4 instead of 3,
to avoid ftrace_call+0x5/0xb appearing in the stack trace:

There is no need to prohibit probing on the functions
used for preparation and uprobe only fetch functions.
Those are safely probed because those are not invoked
from kprobe's breakpoint/fault/debug handlers. So there
is no chance to cause recursive exceptions.
Following functions are now removed from the kprobes blacklist:
update_bitfield_fetch_param
free_bitfield_fetch_param
kprobe_register
FETCH_FUNC_NAME(stack, type) in trace_uprobe.c
FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, type) in trace_uprobe.c
FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, string) in trace_uprobe.c
