From 3085d41e89f0a268842e3a66b8436faed79d504f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Douglas Anderson Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2019 11:32:04 -0800 Subject: tracing: kdb: Fix ftdump to not sleep [ Upstream commit 31b265b3baaf55f209229888b7ffea523ddab366 ] As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context". kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in atomic context. A very simple solution for this is to add allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without triggering the allocation error. This patch does that. Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer ahead of time or create our own iterator. I'm hoping that this alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already allocated). NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the duplication. This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer). The downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer. Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump | grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it will throw away the whole trace on the first grep. A future patch to dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to implement.

Unless the very next line is schedule(), or implies it, one must not use preempt_enable_no_resched(). It can cause a preemption to go missing and thereby cause arbitrary delays, breaking the PREEMPT=y invariant.
