Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix regression of pid filtering of function graph tracer
When the function graph tracer allowed multiple instances of graph
tracing using subops, the filtering by pid broke.
The ftrace_ops->private that was used for pid filtering wasn't
updated on creation.
The wrong function entry callback was used when pid filtering was
enabled when the function graph tracer started, which meant that
the pid filtering wasn't happening.
- Remove no longer needed ftrace_trace_task()
With PID filtering working via ftrace_pids_enabled() and
fgraph_pid_func(), the coarse-grained ftrace_trace_task()
check in graph_entry() is obsolete.
It was only a fallback for uninitialized op->private (now fixed),
and its removal ensures consistent PID filtering with standard
function tracing.

The option "graph-time" affects the function profiler when it is using the
function graph infrastructure. It has nothing to do with the function
graph tracer itself. The option only affects the global function profiler
and does nothing to the function graph tracer.
Move it out of the function graph tracer options and make it a global
option that is only available at the top level instance.

Currently the function graph tracer's options are saved via a global mask
when it should be per instance. Use the new infrastructure to define a
"default_flags" field in the tracer structure that is used for the top
level instance as well as new ones.
Currently the global mask causes confusion:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# mkdir instances/foo
# echo function_graph > instances/foo/current_tracer
# echo 1 > options/funcgraph-args
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# cat trace
[..]
2) | _raw_spin_lock_irq(lock=0xffff96b97dea16c0) {
2) 0.422 us | do_raw_spin_lock(lock=0xffff96b97dea16c0);
7) | rcu_sched_clock_irq(user=0) {
2) 1.478 us | }
7) 0.758 us | rcu_is_cpu_rrupt_from_idle();
2) 0.647 us | enqueue_hrtimer(timer=0xffff96b97dea2058, base=0xffff96b97dea1740, mode=0);

4) | apparmor_file_permission() {
4) | common_file_perm() {
4) | aa_file_perm() {
4) | rcu_read_lock_held() {
[..]
The above shows that updating the "funcgraph-args" option at the top level
instance also updates the "funcgraph-args" option in the instance but
because the update is only done by the instance that gets changed (as it
should), it's confusing to see that the option is already set in the other
instance.

The output of the function graph tracer has two ways to display its
entries. One way for leaf functions with no events recorded within them,
and the other is for functions with events recorded inside it. As function
graph has an entry and exit event, to simplify the output of leaf
functions it combines the two, where as non leaf functions are separate:
2) | invoke_rcu_core() {
2) | raise_softirq() {
2) 0.391 us | __raise_softirq_irqoff();
2) 1.191 us | }
2) 2.086 us | }
The __raise_softirq_irqoff() function above is really two events that were
merged into one. Otherwise it would have looked like:
2) | invoke_rcu_core() {
2) | raise_softirq() {
2) | __raise_softirq_irqoff() {
2) 0.391 us | }
2) 1.191 us | }
2) 2.086 us | }
In order to do this merge, the reading of the trace output file needs to
look at the next event before printing. But since the pointer to the event
is on the ring buffer, it needs to save the entry event before it looks at
the next event as the next event goes out of focus as soon as a new event
is read from the ring buffer. After it reads the next event, it will print
the entry event with either the '{' (non leaf) or ';' and timestamps (leaf).
The iterator used to read the trace file has storage for this event. The
problem happens when the function graph tracer has arguments attached to
the entry event as the entry now has a variable length "args" field. This
field only gets set when funcargs option is used. But the args are not
recorded in this temp data and garbage could be printed. The entry field
is copied via:
data->ent = *curr;
Where "curr" is the entry field. But this method only saves the non
variable length fields from the structure.
Add a helper structure to the iterator data that adds the max args size to
the data storage in the iterator. Then simply copy the entire entry into
this storage (with size protection).

The per CPU "disabled" value was the original way to disable tracing when
the tracing subsystem was first created. Today, the ring buffer
infrastructure has its own way to disable tracing. In fact, things have
changed so much since 2008 that many things ignore the disable flag.
Do not bother disabling the function graph tracer if the per CPU disabled
field is set. Just record as normal. If tracing is disabled in the ring
buffer it will not be recorded.
Also, when tracing is enabled again, it will not drop the return call of
the function.

The retval and retaddr options for function_graph tracer will add a
comment at the end of a function for both leaf and non leaf functions that
looks like:
__wake_up_common(); /* ret=0x1 */
} /* pick_next_task_fair ret=0x0 */
The function print_graph_retval() adds a newline after the "*/". But if
that's not called, the caller function needs to make sure there's a
newline added.
This is confusing and when the function parameters code was added, it
added a newline even when calling print_graph_retval() as the fact that
the print_graph_retval() function prints a newline isn't obvious.
This caused an extra newline to be printed and that made it fail the
selftests when the retval option was set, as the selftests were not
expecting blank lines being injected into the trace.
Instead of having print_graph_retval() print a newline, just have the
caller always print the newline regardless if it calls print_graph_retval()
or not. This not only fixes this bug, but it also simplifies the code.

Kairui reported a UAF issue in print_graph_function_flags() during
ftrace stress testing [1]. This issue can be reproduced if puting a
'mdelay(10)' after 'mutex_unlock(&trace_types_lock)' in s_start(),
and executing the following script:
$ echo function_graph > current_tracer
$ cat trace > /dev/null &
$ sleep 5 # Ensure the 'cat' reaches the 'mdelay(10)' point
$ echo timerlat > current_tracer
The root cause lies in the two calls to print_graph_function_flags
within print_trace_line during each s_show():
* One through 'iter->trace->print_line()';
* Another through 'event->funcs->trace()', which is hidden in
print_trace_fmt() before print_trace_line returns.
Tracer switching only updates the former, while the latter continues
to use the print_line function of the old tracer, which in the script
above is print_graph_function_flags.
Moreover, when switching from the 'function_graph' tracer to the
'timerlat' tracer, s_start only calls graph_trace_close of the
'function_graph' tracer to free 'iter->private', but does not set
it to NULL. This provides an opportunity for 'event->funcs->trace()'
to use an invalid 'iter->private'.
To fix this issue, set 'iter->private' to NULL immediately after
freeing it in graph_trace_close(), ensuring that an invalid pointer
is not passed to other tracers. Additionally, clean up the unnecessary
'iter->private = NULL' during each 'cat trace' when using wakeup and
irqsoff tracers.

The code was restructured where the function graph notrace code, that
would not trace a function and all its children is done by setting a
NOTRACE flag when the function that is not to be traced is hit.
There's a TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE_BIT which defines the bit in the flags and a
TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE which is the mask with that bit set. But the
restructuring used TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE_BIT when it should have used
TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE.
For example:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo set_track_prepare stack_trace_save > set_graph_notrace
# echo function_graph > current_tracer

The function graph infrastructure is now generic so that kretprobes,
fprobes and BPF can use it. But there is still some leftover logic that
only the function graph tracer itself uses. This is the calculation of the
calltime and return time of the functions. The calculation of the calltime
has been moved into the function graph tracer and those users that need it
so that it doesn't cause overhead to the other users. But the return
function timestamp was still called.
Instead of just moving the taking of the timestamp into the function graph
trace remove the calltime and rettime completely from the ftrace_graph_ret
structure. Instead, move it into the function graph return entry event
structure and this also moves all the calltime and rettime logic out of
the generic fgraph.c code and into the tracing code that uses it.
This has been reported to decrease the overhead by ~27%.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Addition of faultable tracepoints
There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit.
This location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are
called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can
sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault
in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been
made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space
parameters and record them.
Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers
(perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow
faults.
- Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic
- Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API
- Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used
- Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic
- Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()
- Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr()
- Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled
- Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with
atomic64_inc_return(counter)
- Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE
- Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used
- Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph
tracer is also running.
When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the
parent function of the function tracer sometimes is
"return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record
the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the
fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address.
- Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure
- Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack
function filter.
echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
Would cause a kernel NULL dereference.

When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function
execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code
where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more
time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long.
This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address
of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs.
To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return
value, while '<-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to
make it look more like the function tracer.
A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the
existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return
address.
See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled.

The fgraph "sleep-time" option tells the function graph tracer and the
profiler whether to include the time a function "sleeps" (is scheduled off
the CPU) in its duration for the function. By default it is true, which
means the duration of a function is calculated by the timestamp of when the
function was entered to the timestamp of when it exits.
If the "sleep-time" option is disabled, it needs to remove the time that the
task was not running on the CPU during the function. Currently it is done in
a sched_switch tracepoint probe where it moves the "calltime" (time of entry
of the function) forward by the sleep time calculated. It updates all the
calltime in the shadow stack.
This is time consuming for those users of the function graph tracer that
does not care about the sleep time. Instead, add a "ftrace_sleeptime" to the
task_struct that gets the sleep time added each time the task wakes up. Then
have the function entry save the current "ftrace_sleeptime" and on function
exit, move the calltime forward by the difference of the current
"ftrace_sleeptime" from the saved sleeptime.
This removes one dependency of "calltime" needed to be on the shadow stack.
It also simplifies the code that removes the sleep time of functions.

Analyzing system call failures with the function_graph tracer can be a
time-consuming process, particularly when locating the kernel function
that first returns an error in the trace logs. This change aims to
simplify the process by recording the function return value to the
'retval' member of 'ftrace_graph_ret' and printing it when outputting
the trace log.
We have introduced new trace options: funcgraph-retval and
funcgraph-retval-hex. The former controls whether to display the return
value, while the latter controls the display format.
Please note that even if a function's return type is void, a return
value will still be printed. You can simply ignore it.
This patch only establishes the fundamental infrastructure. Subsequent
patches will make this feature available on some commonly used processor
architectures.
Here is an example:
I attempted to attach the demo process to a cpu cgroup, but it failed:
echo `pidof demo` > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/tasks
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
The strace logs indicate that the write system call returned -EINVAL(-22):
...
write(1, "273\n", 4) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
...
To capture trace logs during a write system call, use the following
commands:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
echo 0 > tracing_on
echo > trace
echo *sys_write > set_graph_function
echo *spin* > set_graph_notrace
echo *rcu* >> set_graph_notrace
echo *alloc* >> set_graph_notrace
echo preempt* >> set_graph_notrace
echo kfree* >> set_graph_notrace
echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid
echo function_graph > current_tracer
echo 1 > options/funcgraph-retval
echo 0 > options/funcgraph-retval-hex
echo 1 > tracing_on
echo `pidof demo` > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/tasks
echo 0 > tracing_on
cat trace > ~/trace.log
To locate the root cause, search for error code -22 directly in the file
trace.log and identify the first function that returned -22. Once you
have identified this function, examine its code to determine the root
cause.
For example, in the trace log below, cpu_cgroup_can_attach
returned -22 first, so we can focus our analysis on this function to
identify the root cause.

When building the files in the tracefs file system, do not by default set
any permissions for OTH (other). This will make it easier for admins who
want to define a group for accessing tracefs and not having to first
disable all the permission bits for "other" in the file system.
As tracing can leak sensitive information, it should never by default
allowing all users access. An admin can still set the permission bits for
others to have access, which may be useful for creating a honeypot and
seeing who takes advantage of it and roots the machine.

The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.
The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).
The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.
Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.
This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.
As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
-> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
-> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

Inspecting the data structures of the function graph tracer, I found that
the overrun value is unsigned long, which is 8 bytes on a 64 bit machine,
and not only that, the depth is an int (4 bytes). The overrun can be simply
an unsigned int (4 bytes) and pack the ftrace_graph_ret structure better.
The depth is moved up next to the func, as it is used more often with func,
and improves cache locality.

When the ring buffer was first created, the iterator followed the normal
producer/consumer operations where it had both a peek() operation, that just
returned the event at the current location, and a read(), that would return
the event at the current location and also increment the iterator such that
the next peek() or read() will return the next event.
The only use of the ring_buffer_read() is currently to move the iterator to
the next location and nothing now actually reads the event it returns.
Rename this function to its actual use case to ring_buffer_iter_advance(),
which also adds the "iter" part to the name, which is more meaningful. As
the timestamp returned by ring_buffer_read() was never used, there's no
reason that this new version should bother having returning it. It will also
become a void function.

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion.
The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither
of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be
renamed as:
perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer
ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer
This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.
As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.
