ftrace: Fix modify_ftrace_direct.

2021-03-16T23:43:12+00:00

The following sequence of commands:
  register_ftrace_direct(ip, addr1);
  modify_ftrace_direct(ip, addr1, addr2);
  unregister_ftrace_direct(ip, addr2);
will cause the kernel to warn:
[   30.179191] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1961 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:5223 unregister_ftrace_direct+0x130/0x150

[   30.182453] RIP: 0010:unregister_ftrace_direct+0x130/0x150

When modify_ftrace_direct() changes the addr from old to new it should update
the addr stored in ftrace_direct_funcs. Otherwise the final
unregister_ftrace_direct() won't find the address and will cause the splat.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config
  option called CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.

  Currently, only x86_64 enables it. All the ftrace callbacks now take a
  struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct pt_regs. If the architecture
  has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then the ftrace_regs will
  have enough information to read the arguments of the function being
  traced, as well as access to the stack pointer.

  This way, if a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the
  arguments, then it can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback,
  that puts in enough information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate
  a breakpoint exception (needed for kprobes).

  A new config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring
  buffer at most every event recorded.

  Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection
  to the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
  callbacks).

  Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace
  to do it for it (saving on that extra function call).

  New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that
  lists all the places that triggered the recursion protection of the
  function tracer. This will show where things need to be fixed as
  recursion slows down the function tracer.

  The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a
  work queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.

  Various clean ups and last minute fixes"

ftrace: Fix updating FTRACE_FL_TRAMP

2020-12-01T02:43:07+00:00

On powerpc, kprobe-direct.tc triggered FTRACE_WARN_ON() in
ftrace_get_addr_new() followed by the below message:
  Bad trampoline accounting at: 000000004222522f (wake_up_process+0xc/0x20) (f0000001)

The set of steps leading to this involved:
- modprobe ftrace-direct-too
- enable_probe
- modprobe ftrace-direct
- rmmod ftrace-direct <-- trigger

The problem turned out to be that we were not updating flags in the
ftrace record properly. From the above message about the trampoline
accounting being bad, it can be seen that the ftrace record still has
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP set though ftrace-direct module is going away. This
happens because we are checking if any ftrace_ops has the
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP flag set _before_ updating the filter hash.

The fix for this is to look for any _other_ ftrace_ops that also needs
FTRACE_FL_TRAMP.

ftrace: Have the callbacks receive a struct ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs

2020-11-13T17:14:55+00:00

In preparation to have arguments of a function passed to callbacks attached
to functions as default, change the default callback prototype to receive a
struct ftrace_regs as the forth parameter instead of a pt_regs.

For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they
will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If
this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a
FL_SAVE_REGS flag set, it that helper function will return NULL.

This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters
and stack pointer, but without the worry that callbacks may have a pt_regs
that is not completely filled.

'ret' in 2 functions are not used. and one of them is a void function.
So remove them to avoid gcc warning:

2020-11-06T13:42:26+00:00

This adds CONFIG_FTRACE_RECORD_RECURSION that will record to a file
"recursed_functions" all the functions that caused recursion while a
callback to the function tracer was running.

ftrace: Reverse what the RECURSION flag means in the ftrace_ops

2020-11-06T13:42:12+00:00

Now that all callbacks are recursion safe, reverse the meaning of the
RECURSION flag and rename it from RECURSION_SAFE to simply RECURSION.
Now only callbacks that request to have recursion protecting it will
have the added trampoline to do so.

Also remove the outdated comment about "PER_CPU" when determining to
use the ftrace_ops_assist_func.

ftrace: Simplify the calculation of page number for ftrace_page->records

2020-10-08T19:29:06+00:00

Based on the following two reasones, we could simplify the calculation:

  - If the number after roundup count is not power of 2, we would
    definitely have more than 1 empty page with a higher order.
  - get_count_order() just return current order, so one lower order
    could meet the requirement.

The calculation could be simplified by lower one order level when pages
are not power of 2.
