<id>e7186af7fb2609584a8bfb3da3c6ae09da5a5224</id>
<content type='text'>
For backward compatibility, older tooling expects to see the kernel_stack
event with a "caller" field that is a fixed size array of 8 addresses. The
code now supports more than 8 with an added "size" field that states the
real number of entries. But the "caller" field still just looks like a
fixed size to user space.

Since the tracing macros that create the user space format files also
creates the structures that those files represent, the kernel_stack event
structure had its "caller" field a fixed size of 8, but in reality, when
it is allocated on the ring buffer, it can hold more if the stack trace is
bigger that 8 functions. The copying of these entries was simply done with
a memcpy():

  size = nr_entries * sizeof(unsigned long);
  memcpy(entry-&gt;caller, fstack-&gt;calls, size);

The FORTIFY_SOURCE logic noticed at runtime that when the nr_entries was
larger than 8, that the memcpy() was writing more than what the structure
stated it can hold and it complained about it. This is because the
FORTIFY_SOURCE code is unaware that the amount allocated is actually
enough to hold the size. It does not expect that a fixed size field will
hold more than the fixed size.

This was originally solved by hiding the caller assignment with some
pointer arithmetic.

  ptr = ring_buffer_data();
  entry = ptr;

  ptr += offsetof(typeof(*entry), caller);
  memcpy(ptr, fstack-&gt;calls, size);

But it is considered bad form to hide from kernel hardening. Instead, make
it work nicely with FORTIFY_SOURCE by adding a new __stack_array() macro
that is specific for this one special use case. The macro will take 4
arguments: type, item, len, field (whereas the __array() macro takes just
the first three). This macro will act just like the __array() macro when
creating the code to deal with the format file that is exposed to user
space. But for the kernel, it will turn the caller field into:

  type item[] __counted_by(field);

or for this instance:

  unsigned long caller[] __counted_by(size);

Now the kernel code can expose the assignment of the caller to the
FORTIFY_SOURCE and everyone is happy!

<title>tracing: Fix TASK_COMM_LEN in trace event format file</title>

<id>b6c7abd1c28a63ad633433d037ee15a1bc3023ba</id>
<content type='text'>
After commit 3087c61ed2c4 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN"),
the content of the format file under
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask was changed from
  field:char comm[16];    offset:12;    size:16;    signed:0;
to
  field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN];    offset:12;    size:16;    signed:0;

John reported that this change breaks older versions of perfetto.
Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the
use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum
labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it:
  :One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend
  :struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length
  :of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified
  :form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs.

The result as follows after this change,
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format
        field:char comm[16];    offset:12;      size:16;        signed:0;

<title>treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo) to __section("foo")</title>

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

When using trace-cmd on 5.6-rt for the function graph tracer, the output was
corrupted. It gave output like this:

 funcgraph_entry:       func=0xffffffff depth=38982
 funcgraph_entry:       func=0x1ffffffff depth=16044
 funcgraph_exit:        func=0xffffffff overrun=0x92539aaf00000000 calltime=0x92539c9900000072 rettime=0x100000072 depth=11084
 funcgraph_exit:        func=0xffffffff overrun=0x9253946e00000000 calltime=0x92539e2100000072 rettime=0x72 depth=26033702
 funcgraph_entry:       func=0xffffffff depth=85798
 funcgraph_entry:       func=0x1ffffffff depth=12044

The reason was because the tracefs/events/ftrace/funcgraph_entry/exit format
file was incorrect. The -rt kernel adds more common fields to the trace
events. Namely, common_migrate_disable and common_preempt_lazy_count. Each
is one byte in size. This changes the alignment of the normal payload. Most
events are aligned normally, but the function and function graph events are
defined with a "PACKED" macro, that packs their payload. As the offsets
displayed in the format files are now calculated by an aligned field, the
aligned field for function and function graph events should be 1, not their
normal alignment.

With aligning of the funcgraph_entry event, the format file has:

        field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4; signed:1;
        field:unsigned char common_migrate_disable;     offset:8;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_lazy_count;  offset:9;       size:1; signed:0;

        field:unsigned long func;       offset:16;      size:8; signed:0;
        field:int depth;        offset:24;      size:4; signed:1;

But the actual alignment is:

Rework event_create_dir() to use an array of static data instead of
function pointers where possible.

The problem is that it would call the function pointer on module load
before parse_args(), possibly even before jump_labels were initialized.
Luckily the generated functions don't use jump_labels but it still seems
fragile. It also gets in the way of changing when we make the module map
executable.

The generated function are basically calling trace_define_field() with a
bunch of static arguments. So instead of a function, capture these
arguments in a static array, avoiding the function call.

Now there are a number of cases where the fields are dynamic (syscall
arguments, kprobes and uprobes), in which case a static array does not
work, for these we preserve the function call. Luckily all these cases
are not related to modules and so we can retain the function call for
them.

Also fix up all broken tracepoint definitions that now generate a
compile error.

<title>tracing: Add trigger file for trace_markers tracefs/ftrace/print</title>

<id>3dd8095368475a9538895ce757b63dd311e58fe8</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow writing to the trace_markers file initiate triggers defined in
tracefs/ftrace/print/trigger file. This will allow of user space to trigger
the same type of triggers (including histograms) that the trace events use.

Had to create a ftrace_event_register() function that will become the
trace_marker print event's reg() function. This is required because of how
triggers are enabled:

  event_trigger_write() {
    event_trigger_regex_write() {
      trigger_process_regex() {
        for p in trigger_commands {
          p-&gt;func(); /* trigger_snapshot_cmd-&gt;func */
            event_trigger_callback() {
              cmd_ops-&gt;reg() /* register_trigger() */ {
                trace_event_trigger_enable_disable() {
                  trace_event_enable_disable() {
                    call-&gt;class-&gt;reg();

Without the reg() function, the trigger code will call a NULL pointer and
crash the system.

The dynamic arrays defined for ftrace internal events, such as the buf field
for trace_marker (ftrace/print) did not have brackets which makes the filter
code not accept it as a string. This is not currently an issues because the
filter code doesn't do anything for these events, but they will in the
future, and this needs to be fixed for when it does.
