tracing: new format for specialized trace points

Impact: clean up and enhancement

The TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT macro looks quite ugly and is limited in its
ability to save data as well as to print the record out. Working with
Ingo Molnar, we came up with a new format that is much more pleasing to
the eye of C developers. This new macro is more C style than the old
macro, and is more obvious to what it does.

Here's the example. The only updated macro in this patch is the
sched_switch trace point.

The old method looked like this:

 TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT(sched_switch,
        TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
                struct task_struct *next),
        TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next),
        TP_FMT("task %s:%d ==> %s:%d",
              prev->comm, prev->pid, next->comm, next->pid),
        TRACE_STRUCT(
                TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, prev_pid, prev->pid)
                TRACE_FIELD(int, prev_prio, prev->prio)
                TRACE_FIELD_SPECIAL(char next_comm[TASK_COMM_LEN],
                                    next_comm,
                                    TP_CMD(memcpy(TRACE_ENTRY->next_comm,
                                                 next->comm,
                                                 TASK_COMM_LEN)))
                TRACE_FIELD(pid_t, next_pid, next->pid)
                TRACE_FIELD(int, next_prio, next->prio)
        ),
        TP_RAW_FMT("prev %d:%d ==> next %s:%d:%d")
        );

The above method is hard to read and requires two format fields.

The new method:

 /*
  * Tracepoint for task switches, performed by the scheduler:
  *
  * (NOTE: the 'rq' argument is not used by generic trace events,
  *        but used by the latency tracer plugin. )
  */
 TRACE_EVENT(sched_switch,

TP_PROTO(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev,
 struct task_struct *next),

TP_ARGS(rq, prev, next),

TP_STRUCT__entry(
__array( char, prev_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN )
__field( pid_t, prev_pid )
__field( int, prev_prio )
__array( char, next_comm, TASK_COMM_LEN )
__field( pid_t, next_pid )
__field( int, next_prio )
),

TP_printk("task %s:%d [%d] ==> %s:%d [%d]",
__entry->prev_comm, __entry->prev_pid, __entry->prev_prio,
__entry->next_comm, __entry->next_pid, __entry->next_prio),

TP_fast_assign(
memcpy(__entry->next_comm, next->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
__entry->prev_pid = prev->pid;
__entry->prev_prio = prev->prio;
memcpy(__entry->prev_comm, prev->comm, TASK_COMM_LEN);
__entry->next_pid = next->pid;
__entry->next_prio = next->prio;
)
 );

This macro is called TRACE_EVENT, it is broken up into 5 parts:

 TP_PROTO:        the proto type of the trace point
 TP_ARGS:         the arguments of the trace point
 TP_STRUCT_entry: the structure layout of the entry in the ring buffer
 TP_printk:       the printk format
 TP_fast_assign:  the method used to write the entry into the ring buffer

The structure is the definition of how the event will be saved in the
ring buffer. The printk is used by the internal tracing in case of
an oops, and the kernel needs to print out the format of the record
to the console. This the TP_printk gives a means to show the records
in a human readable format. It is also used to print out the data
from the trace file.

The TP_fast_assign is executed directly. It is basically like a C function,
where the __entry is the handle to the record.

  trace_printk (previously trace_bprintk.c) where we can find the module
  management. Thus we don't overflow trace.c

- changes some parts to use trace_seq_bprintk() to print TRACE_PRINT entries.

15 years agovsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users
Frederic Weisbecker [Fri, 6 Mar 2009 16:21:50 +0000 (17:21 +0100)]
vsprintf: unify the format decoding layer for its 3 users

An new optimization is making its way to ftrace. Its purpose is to
make trace_printk() consuming less memory and be faster.

Written by Lai Jiangshan, the approach is to delay the formatting
job from tracing time to output time.

Currently, a call to trace_printk() will format the whole string and
insert it into the ring buffer. Then you can read it on /debug/tracing/trace
file.

The new implementation stores the address of the format string and
the binary parameters into the ring buffer, making the packet more compact
and faster to insert.
Later, when the user exports the traces, the format string is retrieved
with the binary parameters and the formatting job is eventually done.

The new implementation rewrites a lot of format decoding bits from
vsnprintf() function, making now 3 differents functions to maintain
in their duplicated parts of printf format decoding bits.

Suggested by Ingo Molnar, this patch tries to factorize the most
possible common bits from these functions.
The real common part between them is the format decoding. Although
they do somewhat similar jobs, their way to export or import the parameters
is very different. Thus, only the decoding layer is extracted, unless you see
other parts that could be worth factorized.

Changes in V2:

- Address a suggestion from Linus to group the format_decode() parameters inside
  a structure.

Changes in v3:

- Address other cleanups suggested by Ingo and Linus such as passing the
  printf_spec struct to the format helpers: pointer()/number()/string()
  Note that this struct is passed by copy and not by address. This is to
  avoid side effects because these functions often change these values and the
  changes shoudn't be persistant when a callee helper returns.
  It would be too risky.

- Various cleanups (code alignement, switch/case instead of if/else fountains).

- Fix a bug that printed the first format specifier following a %p

Changes in v4:

- drop unapropriate const qualifier loss while casting fmt to a char *

tracing: add format files for ftrace default entries

Impact: allow user apps to read binary format of basic ftrace entries

Currently, only defined raw events export their formats so a binary
reader can parse them. There's no reason that the default ftrace entries
can't export their formats.

This patch adds a subsystem called "ftrace" in the events directory
that includes the ftrace entries for basic ftrace recorded items.

These only have three files in the events directory:

 type             : printf
 available_types  : printf
 format           : format for the event entry

tracing: add tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h

Impact: cleanup

The functions tracing_start/tracing_stop have been moved to kernel.h.
These are not the functions a developer most likely wants to use
when they want to insert a place to stop tracing and restart it from
user space.

tracing_start/tracing_stop was created to work with things like
suspend to ram, where even calling smp_processor_id() can crash the
system. The tracing_start/tracing_stop was used to stop the tracer from
doing anything. These are still light weight functions, but add a bit
more overhead to be able to stop the tracers. They also have no interface
back to userland. That is, if the kernel calls tracing_stop, userland
can not start tracing.

What a developer most likely wants to use is tracing_on/tracing_off.
These are very light weight functions (simply sets or clears a bit).
These functions just stop recording into the ring buffer. The tracers
don't even know that this happens except that they would receive NULL
from the ring_buffer_lock_reserve function.

Also, there's a way for the user land to enable or disable this bit.
In debugfs/tracing/tracing_on, a user may echo "0" (same as tracing_off())
or echo "1" (same as tracing_on()) into this file. This becomes handy when
a kernel developer is debugging and wants tracing to turn off when it
hits an anomaly. Then the developer can examine the trace, and restart
tracing if they want to try again (echo 1 > tracing_on).

This patch moves the prototypes for tracing_on/tracing_off to kernel.h
and comments their use, so that a kernel developer will know how
to use them.

Some arch compilers include an NULL char array in the sizeof field.
Since the ring_buffer_event type includes one of these, it is better
to use the "offsetof" instead, to avoid strange bugs on these archs.

15 years agox86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole

x86-64: seccomp: fix 32/64 syscall hole

On x86-64, a 32-bit process (TIF_IA32) can switch to 64-bit mode with
ljmp, and then use the "syscall" instruction to make a 64-bit system
call.  A 64-bit process make a 32-bit system call with int $0x80.

In both these cases under CONFIG_SECCOMP=y, secure_computing() will use
the wrong system call number table.  The fix is simple: test TS_COMPAT
instead of TIF_IA32.  Here is an example exploit:

/* test case for seccomp circumvention on x86-64

   There are two failure modes: compile with -m64 or compile with -m32.

   The -m64 case is the worst one, because it does "chmod 777 ." (could
   be any chmod call).  The -m32 case demonstrates it was able to do
   stat(), which can glean information but not harm anything directly.

   A buggy kernel will let the test do something, print, and exit 1; a
   fixed kernel will make it exit with SIGKILL before it does anything.

tracing: make CALLER_ADDRx overwriteable

The current definition of CALLER_ADDRx isn't suitable for all platforms.
E.g. for ARM __builtin_return_address(N) doesn't work for N > 0 and
AFAIK for powerpc there are no frame pointers needed to have a working
__builtin_return_address.  This patch allows defining the CALLER_ADDRx
macros in <asm/ftrace.h> and let these take precedence.

Because now <asm/ftrace.h> is included unconditionally in
<linux/ftrace.h> all archs that don't already had this include get an
empty one for free.
