tracing: Do not reference event data in post call triggers

2018-05-29T12:28:02+00:00

Trace event triggers can be called before or after the event has been
committed. If it has been called after the commit, there's a possibility
that the event no longer exists. Currently, the two post callers is the
trigger to disable tracing (traceoff) and the one that will record a stack
dump (stacktrace). Neither of them reference the trace event entry record,
as that would lead to a race condition that could pass in corrupted data.

To prevent any other users of the post data triggers from using the trace
event record, pass in NULL to the post call trigger functions for the event
record, as they should never need to use them in the first place.

This does not fix any bug, but prevents bugs from happening by new post call
trigger users.

tracing: Make the snapshot trigger work with instances

2018-05-28T16:49:32+00:00

The snapshot trigger currently only affects the main ring buffer, even when
it is used by the instances. This can be confusing as the snapshot trigger
is listed in the instance.

 > # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 > # mkdir instances/foo
 > # echo snapshot > instances/foo/events/syscalls/sys_enter_fchownat/trigger
 > # echo top buffer > trace_marker
 > # echo foo buffer > instances/foo/trace_marker
 > # touch /tmp/bar
 > # chown rostedt /tmp/bar
 > # cat instances/foo/snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 #
 # * Snapshot is freed *
 #
 # 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')

 > # cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop

Not only did the snapshot occur in the top level buffer, but the instance
snapshot buffer should have been allocated, and it is still free.

tracing: Fix crash when freeing instances with event triggers

2018-05-28T00:54:44+00:00

If a instance has an event trigger enabled when it is freed, it could cause
an access of free memory. Here's the case that crashes:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
 # mkdir instances/foo
 # echo snapshot > instances/foo/events/initcall/initcall_start/trigger
 # rmdir instances/foo

Would produce:

tracing: Add variable reference handling to hist triggers

2018-03-10T21:05:58+00:00

Add the necessary infrastructure to allow the variables defined on one
event to be referenced in another.  This allows variables set by a
previous event to be referenced and used in expressions combining the
variable values saved by that previous event and the event fields of
the current event.  For example, here's how a latency can be
calculated and saved into yet another variable named 'wakeup_lat':

    # echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:ts0=common_timestamp ...
    # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:wakeup_lat=common_timestamp-$ts0 ...

In the first event, the event's timetamp is saved into the variable
ts0.  In the next line, ts0 is subtracted from the second event's
timestamp to produce the latency.

Further users of variable references will be described in subsequent
patches, such as for instance how the 'wakeup_lat' variable above can
be displayed in a latency histogram.

tracing: Give event triggers access to ring_buffer_event

2018-03-10T21:05:51+00:00

The ring_buffer event can provide a timestamp that may be useful to
various triggers - pass it into the handlers for that purpose.

With the addition of ORC unwinder and FRAME POINTER unwinder, the stack
trace skipping requirements have changed.

I went through the tracing stack trace dumps with ORC and with frame
pointers and recalculated the proper values.

sched/headers: Prepare to use instead of in

2017-03-02T07:42:38+00:00

We don't actually need the full rculist.h header in sched.h anymore,
we will be able to include the smaller rcupdate.h header instead.

But first update code that relied on the implicit header inclusion.

tracing: Call traceoff trigger after event is recorded

2016-09-23T13:47:59+00:00

Call traceoff trigger after the event is recorded.
Since current traceoff trigger is called before recording
the event, we can not know what event stopped tracing.

Typical usecase of traceoff/traceon trigger is tracing
function calls and trace events between a pair of events.
For example, trace function calls between syscall entry/exit.
In that case, it is useful if we can see the return code
of the target syscall.

tracing: Add support for named triggers

2016-04-19T22:56:00+00:00

Named triggers are sets of triggers that share a common set of trigger
data.  An example of functionality that could benefit from this type
of capability would be a set of inlined probes that would each
contribute event counts, for example, to a shared counter data
structure.

The first named trigger registered with a given name owns the common
trigger data that the others subsequently registered with the same
name will reference.  The functions defined here allow users to add,
delete, and find named triggers.

It also adds functions to pause and unpause named triggers; since
named triggers act upon common data, they should also be paused and
unpaused as a group.

tracing: Add enable_hist/disable_hist triggers

2016-04-19T22:55:57+00:00

Similar to enable_event/disable_event triggers, these triggers enable
and disable the aggregation of events into maps rather than enabling
and disabling their writing into the trace buffer.

They can be used to automatically start and stop hist triggers based
on a matching filter condition.

If there's a paused hist trigger on system:event, the following would
start it when the filter condition was hit:

  # echo enable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger

And the following would disable a running system:event hist trigger:

  # echo disable_hist:system:event [ if filter] > event/trigger

See Documentation/trace/events.txt for real examples.
