In bringing back the context checks, the code checks first if its normal
(non-interrupt) context, and then for NMI then IRQ then softirq. The final
check is redundant. Since the if branch is only hit if the context is one of
NMI, IRQ, or SOFTIRQ, if it's not NMI or IRQ there's no reason to check if
it is SOFTIRQ. The current code returns the same result even if its not a
SOFTIRQ. Which is confusing.
pc & SOFTIRQ_OFFSET ? 2 : RB_CTX_SOFTIRQ
Is redundant as RB_CTX_SOFTIRQ *is* 2!

Commit 1a149d7d3f ("ring-buffer: Rewrite trace_recursive_(un)lock() to be
simpler") replaced the context level recursion checks with a simple counter.
This would prevent the ring buffer code from recursively calling itself more
than the max number of contexts that exist (Normal, softirq, irq, nmi). But
this change caused a lockup in a specific case, which was during suspend and
resume using a global clock. Adding a stack dump to see where this occurred,
the issue was in the trace global clock itself:
trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1c/0x50
__trace_graph_entry+0x2d/0x90
trace_graph_entry+0xe8/0x200
prepare_ftrace_return+0x69/0xc0
ftrace_graph_caller+0x78/0xa8
queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x5/0x1d0
trace_clock_global+0xb0/0xc0
ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0xf9/0x390
The function graph tracer traced queued_spin_lock_slowpath that was called
by trace_clock_global. This pointed out that the trace_clock_global() is not
reentrant, as it takes a spin lock. It depended on the ring buffer recursive
lock from letting that happen.
By removing the context detection and adding just a max number of allowable
recursions, it allowed the trace_clock_global() to be entered again and try
to retake the spinlock it already held, causing a deadlock.

To free the reader page that is allocated with ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(),
ring_buffer_free_read_page() must be called. For faster performance, this
page can be reused by the ring buffer to avoid having to free and allocate
new pages.
The issue arises when the page is used with a splice pipe into the
networking code. The networking code may up the page counter for the page,
and keep it active while sending it is queued to go to the network. The
incrementing of the page ref does not prevent it from being reused in the
ring buffer, and this can cause the page that is being sent out to the
network to be modified before it is sent by reading new data.
Add a check to the page ref counter, and only reuse the page if it is not
being used anywhere else.

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Two info bits were added to the "commit" part of the ring buffer data page
when returned to be consumed. This was to inform the user space readers that
events have been missed, and that the count may be stored at the end of the
page.
What wasn't handled, was the splice code that actually called a function to
return the length of the data in order to zero out the rest of the page
before sending it up to user space. These data bits were returned with the
length making the value negative, and that negative value was not checked.
It was compared to PAGE_SIZE, and only used if the size was less than
PAGE_SIZE. Luckily PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long which made the compare an
unsigned compare, meaning the negative size value did not end up causing a
large portion of memory to be randomly zeroed out.

Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.
As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.
KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream.
We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).
The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.
Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.
This patch (of 4):
Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

The current method to prevent the ring buffer from entering into a recursize
loop is to use a bitmask and set the bit that maps to the current context
(normal, softirq, irq or NMI), and if that bit was already set, it is
considered a recursive loop.
New code is being added that may require the ring buffer to be entered a
second time in the current context. The recursive locking prevents that from
happening. Instead of mapping a bitmask to the current context, just allow 4
levels of nesting in the ring buffer. This matches the 4 context levels that
it can already nest. It is highly unlikely to have more than two levels,
thus it should be fine when we add the second entry into the ring buffer. If
that proves to be a problem, we can always up the number to 8.
An added benefit is that reading preempt_count() to get the current level
adds a very slight but noticeable overhead. This removes that need.

Chunyu Hu reported:
"per_cpu trace directories and files are created for all possible cpus,
but only the cpus which have ever been on-lined have their own per cpu
ring buffer (allocated by cpuhp threads). While trace_buffers_open, the
open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access
field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer.
Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV
when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer.
Reproduce:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw
(cpu31 is never on-lined, this is a 16 cores x86_64 box)
Tested with:
1) boot with maxcpus=14, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
Got -NODEV.
2) oneline cpu15, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
Get the raw trace data.

This was introduced by the addition of the feature to reuse reader pages
instead of re-allocating them. The problem is that the allocation of a
reader page (which is per cpu) does not check if the cpu is online and set
up for the ring buffer.

ftrace can fail to allocate per-CPU ring buffer on systems with a large
number of CPUs coupled while large amounts of cache happening in the
page cache. Currently the ring buffer allocation doesn't retry in the VM
implementation even if direct-reclaim made some progress but still
wasn't able to find a free page. On retrying I see that the allocations
almost always succeed. The retry doesn't happen because __GFP_NORETRY is
used in the tracer to prevent the case where we might OOM, however if we
drop __GFP_NORETRY, we risk destabilizing the system if OOM killer is
triggered. To prevent this situation, use the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL flag
introduced recently [1].
Tested the following still succeeds without destabilizing a system with
1GB memory.

When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice,
where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the
reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls
ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the
reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page
for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page
for the reader.
The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is
passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next
iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc
mechanism.
Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to
require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling
ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a
stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times
the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring
buffer.

# trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1
# trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l

I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a
status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how
to allocate and use it. For example:
># cat snapshot
# tracer: nop
#
#
# * Snapshot is allocated *
#
# Snapshot commands:
# echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
# echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
# Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
# echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate or free)
# (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
# is not a '0' or '1')
But instead it just showed an empty buffer:
># cat snapshot
# tracer: nop
#
# entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0 #P:4
#
# _-----=> irqs-off
# / _----=> need-resched
# | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
# || / _--=> preempt-depth
# ||| / delay
# TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | |||| | |
What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to
see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function
was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header
page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the
buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit
page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as
all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

Before commit b32614c034 ("tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state
machine") the allocated cpumask was initialized to the mask of ONLINE or
POSSIBLE CPUs. After the CPU hotplug changes the buffer initialisation
moved to trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but I forgot to initially set the
cpumask to zero. This is done now.

Before commit b32614c034 ("tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state machine")
the allocated cpumask was initialized to the mask of online or possible
CPUs. After the CPU hotplug changes the buffer initialization moved to
trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but the cpumask is allocated with alloc_cpumask()
and therefor has random content. As a consequence the cpu buffers are not
initialized and a later access dereferences a NULL pointer.
Use zalloc_cpumask() instead so trace_rb_cpu_prepare() initializes the
buffers properly.

Install the callbacks via the state machine. The notifier in struct
ring_buffer is replaced by the multi instance interface. Upon
__ring_buffer_alloc() invocation, cpuhp_state_add_instance() will invoke
the trace_rb_cpu_prepare() on each CPU.
This callback may now fail. This means __ring_buffer_alloc() will fail and
cleanup (like previously) and during a CPU up event this failure will not
allow the CPU to come up.

The rb_event_data() is the fast path of getting the ring buffer data from an
event. Externally, ring_buffer_event_data() is used to access this function.
But unfortunately, rb_event_data() is not inlined, and calling
ring_buffer_event_data() causes that function to be called again. Force
rb_event_data() to be inlined to lower the number of operations needed when
calling ring_buffer_event_data().

The function rb_reserved_next_event() is called by two functions:
ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and ring_buffer_write(). This is in a very hot
path of the tracing code, and it is best that they are not functions. The
two callers are basically wrapers for rb_reserver_next_event(). Removing the
function calls can save execution time in the hotpath of tracing.

If the size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is greater than MAX_LONG - BUF_PAGE_SIZE
then the DIV_ROUND_UP() will return zero.
Here's the details:
# echo 18014398509481980 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb
tracing_entries_write() processes this and converts kb to bytes.
18014398509481980 << 10 = 18446744073709547520
and this is passed to ring_buffer_resize() as unsigned long size.
size = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE);
Where DIV_ROUND_UP(a, b) is (a + b - 1)/b
BUF_PAGE_SIZE is 4080 and here
18446744073709547520 + 4080 - 1 = 18446744073709551599
where 18446744073709551599 is still smaller than 2^64
2^64 - 18446744073709551599 = 17
But now 18446744073709551599 / 4080 = 4521260802379792
and size = size * 4080 = 18446744073709551360
This is checked to make sure its still greater than 2 * 4080,
which it is.
Then we convert to the number of buffer pages needed.
nr_page = DIV_ROUND_UP(size, BUF_PAGE_SIZE)
but this time size is 18446744073709551360 and
2^64 - (18446744073709551360 + 4080 - 1) = -3823
Thus it overflows and the resulting number is less than 4080, which makes
3823 / 4080 = 0
an nr_pages is set to this. As we already checked against the minimum that
nr_pages may be, this causes the logic to fail as well, and we crash the
kernel.
There's no reason to have the two DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's just result of
historical code changes), clean up the code and fix this bug.

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The size variable to change the ring buffer in ftrace is a long. The
nr_pages used to update the ring buffer based on the size is int. On 64 bit
machines this can cause an overflow problem.
For example, the following will cause the ring buffer to crash:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo 10 > buffer_size_kb
# echo 8556384240 > buffer_size_kb
Then you get the warning of:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 318 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:1527 rb_update_pages+0x22f/0x260
Which is:
RB_WARN_ON(cpu_buffer, nr_removed);
Note each ring buffer page holds 4080 bytes.
This is because:
1) 10 causes the ring buffer to have 3 pages.
(10kb requires 3 * 4080 pages to hold)
2) (2^31 / 2^10 + 1) * 4080 = 8556384240
The value written into buffer_size_kb is shifted by 10 and then passed
to ring_buffer_resize(). 8556384240 * 2^10 = 8761737461760
3) The size passed to ring_buffer_resize() is then divided by BUF_PAGE_SIZE
which is 4080. 8761737461760 / 4080 = 2147484672
4) nr_pages is subtracted from the current nr_pages (3) and we get:
2147484669. This value is saved in a signed integer nr_pages_to_update
5) 2147484669 is greater than 2^31 but smaller than 2^32, a signed int
turns into the value of -2147482627
6) As the value is a negative number, in update_pages_handler() it is
negated and passed to rb_remove_pages() and 2147482627 pages will
be removed, which is much larger than 3 and it causes the warning
because not all the pages asked to be removed were removed.

Commit fcc742eaad "ring-buffer: Add event descriptor to simplify passing
data" added a descriptor that holds various data instead of passing around
several variables through parameters. The problem was that one of the
parameters was modified in a function and the code was designed not to have
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.
Remove the extra space added if a timestamp was added and the event went
across the page.

Do not update the read stamp after swapping out the reader page from the
write buffer. If the reader page is swapped out of the buffer before an
event is written to it, then the read_stamp may get an out of date
timestamp, as the page timestamp is updated on the first commit to that
page.
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.

The commit a4543a2fa9 "ring-buffer: Get timestamp after event is
allocated" is needed for some future work. But after adding it, there is a
race somewhere that causes the saved timestamp to have a slight shift, and
get ahead of the actual timestamp and make it look like time goes backwards.
I'm still looking into why this happens, but in the mean time, this is
holding up other work to get in. I'm reverting the change for now (which
makes the problem go away), and will add it back after I know what is wrong
and fix it.

Functions in ring-buffer.c have gotten interleaved between different

Now that events only add time extends after it is committed, in case
an event comes in before it can discard the allocated event, the time
extend needs to be stored within the event. If the event is bigger
than then size needed for the time extend, padding must be added.
The minimum padding size is 8 bytes. Thus if the event is 12 bytes
(size of time extend + 4), there will not be enough room to add both
the time extend and padding. Make sure all events are either 8 bytes
or 16 or more bytes.

Move the capturing of the timestamp to after an event is allocated.
If the event is not a commit (where it is an event that preempted
another event), then no timestamp is needed, because the delta of
nested events is always zero.
If the event starts on a new page, no delta needs to be calculated
as the full timestamp will be added to the page header, and the
event will have a delta of zero.
Now if the event requires a time extend (the delta does not fit
in the 27 bit delta slot in the header), then the event is discarded,
the length is extended to hold the TIME_EXTEND event that allows for
a 59 bit delta, and the commit is tried again.
If the event can't be discarded (another event came in after it),
then the TIME_EXTEND is added directly to the allocated event and
the rest of the event is given padding.

Requiring a extended time stamp is an uncommon occurrence, and it is

The tracing_off_permanent() call is a way to disable all ring_buffers.
Nothing uses it and nothing should use it, as tracing_off() and
friends are better, as they disable the ring buffers related to
tracing. The tracing_off_permanent() even disabled non tracing
ring buffers. This is a bit drastic, and was added to handle NMIs
doing outputs that could corrupt the ring buffer when only tracing
used them. It is now obsolete and adds a little overhead, it should
be removed.

Currently, if an NMI does a dump of a ring buffer, it disables
all ring buffers from ever doing any writes again. This is because
it wont take the locks for the cpu_buffer and this can cause
corruption if it preempted a read, or a read happens on another
CPU for the current cpu buffer. This is a bit overkill.
First, it should at least try to take the lock, and if it fails
then disable it. Also, there's no need to disable all ring
buffers, even those that are unrelated to what is being read.
Only disable the per cpu ring buffer that is being read if
it can not get the lock for it.

The ring_buffer_write() function isn't protected by the trace recursive
writes. Luckily, this function is not used as much and is unlikely
to ever recurse. But it should still have the protection, because
even a call to ring_buffer_lock_reserve() could cause ring buffer
corruption if called when ring_buffer_write() is being used.

Currently the trace_recursive checks are only done if CONFIG_TRACING
is enabled. That was because there use to be a dependency with tracing
for the recursive checks (it used the task_struct trace recursive
variable). But now it uses its own variable and there is no dependency.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Instead of using a global per_cpu variable to perform the recursive
checks into the ring buffer, use the already existing per_cpu descriptor
that is part of the ring buffer itself.
Not only does this simplify the code, it also allows for one ring buffer
to be used within the guts of the use of another ring buffer. For example
trace_printk() can now be used within the ring buffer to record changes
done by an instance into the main ring buffer. The recursion checks
will prevent the trace_printk() itself from causing recursive issues
with the main ring buffer (it is just ignored), but the recursive
checks wont prevent the trace_printk() from recording other ring buffers.
