<title>MIPS: ftrace: Fix dynamic tracing of kernel modules</title>
<updated>2014-07-30T18:37:42+00:00</updated>

<id>dce0e7d54a710400c0056d86d0f0ed972133b25d</id>
<content type='text'>
Dynamic tracing of kernel modules is broken on 32-bit MIPS. When modules
are loaded, the kernel crashes when dynamic tracing is enabled with:
 cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
 echo &gt; set_ftrace_filter
 echo function &gt; current_tracer

1) arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c
When the kernel boots, or when a module is initialized, ftrace_make_nop()
modifies every _mcount call site to eliminate the ftrace overhead.
However, when ftrace is later enabled for a call site, ftrace_make_call()
does not currently restore the _mcount call correctly for module call sites.
Added ftrace_modify_code_2r() and modified ftrace_make_call() to fix this.

2) arch/mips/kernel/mcount.S
_mcount assembly routine is supposed to have the caller's _mcount call site
address in register a0. However, a0 is currently not calculated correctly for
module call sites. a0 should be (ra - 20) or (ra - 24), depending on whether
the kernel was built with KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS or not.

This fix has been tested on Broadcom BMIPS5000 processor. Dynamic tracing
now works for both built-in functions and module functions.

<title>MIPS: ftrace: Add call to ftrace_graph_is_dead() in function graph code</title>

ftrace_stop() is going away as it disables parts of function tracing
that affects users that should not be affected. But ftrace_graph_stop()
is built on ftrace_stop(). Here's another example of killing all of
function tracing because something went wrong with function graph
tracing.

Instead of disabling all users of function tracing on function graph
error, disable only function graph tracing. To do this, the arch code
must call ftrace_graph_is_dead() before it implements function graph.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Most of the changes were largely clean ups, and some documentation.
  But there were a few features that were added:

  Uprobes now work with event triggers and multi buffers and have
  support under ftrace and perf.

  The big feature is that the function tracer can now be used within the
  multi buffer instances.  That is, you can now trace some functions in
  one buffer, others in another buffer, all functions in a third buffer
  and so on.  They are basically agnostic from each other.  This only
  works for the function tracer and not for the function graph trace,
  although you can have the function graph tracer running in the top
  level buffer (or any tracer for that matter) and have different
  function tracing going on in the sub buffers"

When flushing the icache, make sure the address limit is correct
so the appropriate 'cache' instruction will be used. This has no
impact on cores operating in non-eva mode. However, when EVA is
enabled, we ensure that 'cache' will be used instead of 'cachee'.

In 32-bit mode, the start address passed to flush_icache_range is
shifted by 4 bytes before the second safe_store_code() call.

This causes system crash from time to time because the first 4 bytes
might not be flushed properly. This bug exists since linux-3.8.

Also remove obsoleted comment while at it.

As the data parameter is not really used by any ftrace_dyn_arch_init,
remove that from ftrace_dyn_arch_init. This also removes the addr
local variable from ftrace_init which is now unused.

Note the documentation was imprecise as it did not suggest to set
(*data) to 0.

No architecture uses the "data" parameter in ftrace_dyn_arch_init() in any
way, it just sets the value to 0. And this is used as a return value
in the caller -- ftrace_init, which just checks the retval against
zero.

Note there is also "return 0" in every ftrace_dyn_arch_init.  So it is
enough to check the retval and remove all the indirect sets of data on
all archs.
