Steven Rostedt (VMware) 86b3de60a0 ring-buffer: Remove HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS
Commit c19fa94a8f ("Add HAVE_64BIT_ALIGNED_ACCESS") added the config for
architectures that required 64bit aligned access for all 64bit words. As
the ftrace ring buffer stores data on 4 byte alignment, this config option
was used to force it to store data on 8 byte alignment to make sure the data
being stored and written directly into the ring buffer was 8 byte aligned as
it would cause issues trying to write an 8 byte word on a 4 not 8 byte
aligned memory location.

But with the removal of the metag architecture, which was the only
architecture to use this, there is no architecture supported by Linux that
requires 8 byte aligne access for all 8 byte words (4 byte alignment is good
enough). Removing this config can simplify the code a bit.

Douglas Anderson 31b265b3ba tracing: kdb: Fix ftdump to not sleep
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.

Vaibhav Nagarnaik 83f365554e ring-buffer: Allow for rescheduling when removing pages
When reducing ring buffer size, pages are removed by scheduling a work
item on each CPU for the corresponding CPU ring buffer. After the pages
are removed from ring buffer linked list, the pages are free()d in a
tight loop. The loop does not give up CPU until all pages are removed.
In a worst case behavior, when lot of pages are to be freed, it can
cause system stall.

After the pages are removed from the list, the free() can happen while
the work is rescheduled. Call cond_resched() in the loop to prevent the
system hangup.

Masami Hiramatsu 73c8d89455 ring_buffer: tracing: Inherit the tracing setting to next ring buffer
Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching
to the trace buffer snapshot.

Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer
(max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined
by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting
can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below:

  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
  1
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 > tracing_on
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
  0
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
  1
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > snapshot
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
  0

We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on
setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know
that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and
the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 927e56db62 ring-buffer: Add set/clear_current_oom_origin() during allocations
As si_mem_available() can say there is enough memory even though the memory
available is not useable by the ring buffer, it is best to not kill innocent
applications because the ring buffer is taking up all the memory while it is
trying to allocate a great deal of memory.

If the allocator is user space (because kernel threads can also increase the
size of the kernel ring buffer on boot up), then after si_mem_available()
says there is enough memory, set the OOM killer to kill the current task if
an OOM triggers during the allocation.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 2a872fa4e9 ring-buffer: Check if memory is available before allocation
The ring buffer is made up of a link list of pages. When making the ring
buffer bigger, it will allocate all the pages it needs before adding to the
ring buffer, and if it fails, it frees them and returns an error. This makes
increasing the ring buffer size an all or nothing action. When this was
first created, the pages were allocated with "NORETRY". This was to not
cause any Out-Of-Memory (OOM) actions from allocating the ring buffer. But
NORETRY was too strict, as the ring buffer would fail to expand even when
there's memory available, but was taken up in the page cache.

Commit 848618857d ("tracing/ring_buffer: Try harder to allocate") changed
the allocating from NORETRY to RETRY_MAYFAIL. The RETRY_MAYFAIL would
allocate from the page cache, but if there was no memory available, it would
simple fail the allocation and not trigger an OOM.

This worked fine, but had one problem. As the ring buffer would allocate one
page at a time, it could take up all memory in the system before it failed
to allocate and free that memory. If the allocation is happening and the
ring buffer allocates all memory and then tries to take more than available,
its allocation will not trigger an OOM, but if there's any allocation that
happens someplace else, that could trigger an OOM, even though once the ring
buffer's allocation fails, it would free up all the previous memory it tried
to allocate, and allow other memory allocations to succeed.

Commit d02bd27bd3 ("mm/page_alloc.c: calculate 'available' memory in a
separate function") separated out si_mem_availble() as a separate function
that could be used to see how much memory is available in the system. Using
this function to make sure that the ring buffer could be allocated before it
tries to allocate pages we can avoid allocating all memory in the system and
making it vulnerable to OOMs if other allocations are taking place.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 8e012066fe ring-buffer: Add nesting for adding events within events
The ring-buffer code has recusion protection in case tracing ends up tracing
itself, the ring-buffer will detect that it was called at the same context
(normal, softirq, interrupt or NMI), and not continue to record the event.

With the histogram synthetic events, they are called while tracing another
event at the same context. The recusion protection triggers because it
detects tracing at the same context and stops it.

Add ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end() that will notify the
ring buffer that a trace is about to happen within another trace and that it
is intended, and not to trigger the recursion blocking.

Tom Zanussi dc4e2801d4 ring-buffer: Redefine the unimplemented RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP
RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP is defined but not used, and from what I can
gather was reserved for something like an absolute timestamp feature
for the ring buffer, if not a complete replacement of the current
time_delta scheme.

This code redefines RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP to implement absolute time
stamps.  Another way to look at it is that it essentially forces
extended time_deltas for all events.

The motivation for doing this is to enable time_deltas that aren't
dependent on previous events in the ring buffer, making it feasible to
use the ring_buffer_event timetamps in a more random-access way, for
purposes other than serial event printing.

To set/reset this mode, use tracing_set_timestamp_abs() from the
previous interface patch.

Linus Torvalds a9a08845e9 vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacement
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

Linus Torvalds 168fe32a07 Merge branch 'misc.poll' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull poll annotations from Al Viro:
 "This introduces a __bitwise type for POLL### bitmap, and propagates
  the annotations through the tree. Most of that stuff is as simple as
  'make ->poll() instances return __poll_t and do the same to local
  variables used to hold the future return value'.

  Some of the obvious brainos found in process are fixed (e.g. POLLIN
  misspelled as POLL_IN). At that point the amount of sparse warnings is
  low and most of them are for genuine bugs - e.g. ->poll() instance
  deciding to return -EINVAL instead of a bitmap. I hadn't touched those
  in this series - it's large enough as it is.

  Another problem it has caught was eventpoll() ABI mess; select.c and
  eventpoll.c assumed that corresponding POLL### and EPOLL### were
  equal. That's true for some, but not all of them - EPOLL### are
  arch-independent, but POLL### are not.

  The last commit in this series separates userland POLL### values from
  the (now arch-independent) kernel-side ones, converting between them
  in the few places where they are copied to/from userland. AFAICS, this
  is the least disruptive fix preserving poll(2) ABI and making epoll()
  work on all architectures.

  As it is, it's simply broken on sparc - try to give it EPOLLWRNORM and
  it will trigger only on what would've triggered EPOLLWRBAND on other
  architectures. EPOLLWRBAND and EPOLLRDHUP, OTOH, are never triggered
  at all on sparc. With this patch they should work consistently on all
  architectures"

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 0164e0d7e8 ring-buffer: Fix duplicate results in mapping context to bits in recursive lock
In bringing back the context checks, the code checks first if its normal
(non-interrupt) context, and then for NMI then IRQ then softirq. The final
check is redundant. Since the if branch is only hit if the context is one of
NMI, IRQ, or SOFTIRQ, if it's not NMI or IRQ there's no reason to check if
it is SOFTIRQ. The current code returns the same result even if its not a
SOFTIRQ. Which is confusing.

  pc & SOFTIRQ_OFFSET ? 2 : RB_CTX_SOFTIRQ

Is redundant as RB_CTX_SOFTIRQ *is* 2!

Steven Rostedt (VMware) a0e3a18f4b ring-buffer: Bring back context level recursive checks
Commit 1a149d7d3f ("ring-buffer: Rewrite trace_recursive_(un)lock() to be
simpler") replaced the context level recursion checks with a simple counter.
This would prevent the ring buffer code from recursively calling itself more
than the max number of contexts that exist (Normal, softirq, irq, nmi). But
this change caused a lockup in a specific case, which was during suspend and
resume using a global clock. Adding a stack dump to see where this occurred,
the issue was in the trace global clock itself:

  trace_buffer_lock_reserve+0x1c/0x50
  __trace_graph_entry+0x2d/0x90
  trace_graph_entry+0xe8/0x200
  prepare_ftrace_return+0x69/0xc0
  ftrace_graph_caller+0x78/0xa8
  queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x5/0x1d0
  trace_clock_global+0xb0/0xc0
  ring_buffer_lock_reserve+0xf9/0x390

The function graph tracer traced queued_spin_lock_slowpath that was called
by trace_clock_global. This pointed out that the trace_clock_global() is not
reentrant, as it takes a spin lock. It depended on the ring buffer recursive
lock from letting that happen.

By removing the context detection and adding just a max number of allowable
recursions, it allowed the trace_clock_global() to be entered again and try
to retake the spinlock it already held, causing a deadlock.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) ae415fa4c5 ring-buffer: Do no reuse reader page if still in use
To free the reader page that is allocated with ring_buffer_alloc_read_page(),
ring_buffer_free_read_page() must be called. For faster performance, this
page can be reused by the ring buffer to avoid having to free and allocate
new pages.

The issue arises when the page is used with a splice pipe into the
networking code. The networking code may up the page counter for the page,
and keep it active while sending it is queued to go to the network. The
incrementing of the page ref does not prevent it from being reused in the
ring buffer, and this can cause the page that is being sent out to the
network to be modified before it is sent by reading new data.

Add a check to the page ref counter, and only reuse the page if it is not
being used anywhere else.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 45d8b80c2a ring-buffer: Mask out the info bits when returning buffer page length
Two info bits were added to the "commit" part of the ring buffer data page
when returned to be consumed. This was to inform the user space readers that
events have been missed, and that the count may be stored at the end of the
page.

What wasn't handled, was the splice code that actually called a function to
return the length of the data in order to zero out the rest of the page
before sending it up to user space. These data bits were returned with the
length making the value negative, and that negative value was not checked.
It was compared to PAGE_SIZE, and only used if the size was less than
PAGE_SIZE. Luckily PAGE_SIZE is unsigned long which made the compare an
unsigned compare, meaning the negative size value did not end up causing a
large portion of memory to be randomly zeroed out.

Levin, Alexander (Sasha Levin) 4950276672 kmemcheck: remove annotations
Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2.

As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck.

KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of
kmemcheck (single CPU, slow).  KASan is already upstream.

We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't
consider KASan as a suitable replacement).

The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC
versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2
years, and try again.

Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports
KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons.

This patch (of 4):

Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

Mark Rutland 6aa7de0591 locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 1a149d7d3f ring-buffer: Rewrite trace_recursive_(un)lock() to be simpler
The current method to prevent the ring buffer from entering into a recursize
loop is to use a bitmask and set the bit that maps to the current context
(normal, softirq, irq or NMI), and if that bit was already set, it is
considered a recursive loop.

New code is being added that may require the ring buffer to be entered a
second time in the current context. The recursive locking prevents that from
happening. Instead of mapping a bitmask to the current context, just allow 4
levels of nesting in the ring buffer. This matches the 4 context levels that
it can already nest. It is highly unlikely to have more than two levels,
thus it should be fine when we add the second entry into the ring buffer. If
that proves to be a problem, we can always up the number to 8.

An added benefit is that reading preempt_count() to get the current level
adds a very slight but noticeable overhead. This removes that need.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) a7e52ad7ed ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() return error on offline CPU
Chunyu Hu reported:
  "per_cpu trace directories and files are created for all possible cpus,
   but only the cpus which have ever been on-lined have their own per cpu
   ring buffer (allocated by cpuhp threads). While trace_buffers_open, the
   open handler for trace file 'trace_pipe_raw' is always trying to access
   field of ring_buffer_per_cpu, and would panic with the NULL pointer.

   Align the behavior of trace_pipe_raw with trace_pipe, that returns -NODEV
   when openning it if that cpu does not have trace ring buffer.

   Reproduce:
   cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/per_cpu/cpu31/trace_pipe_raw
   (cpu31 is never on-lined, this is a 16 cores x86_64 box)

   Tested with:
   1) boot with maxcpus=14, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
      Got -NODEV.
   2) oneline cpu15, read trace_pipe_raw of cpu15.
      Get the raw trace data.

This was introduced by the addition of the feature to reuse reader pages
instead of re-allocating them. The problem is that the allocation of a
reader page (which is per cpu) does not check if the cpu is online and set
up for the ring buffer.

Joel Fernandes 848618857d tracing/ring_buffer: Try harder to allocate
ftrace can fail to allocate per-CPU ring buffer on systems with a large
number of CPUs coupled while large amounts of cache happening in the
page cache. Currently the ring buffer allocation doesn't retry in the VM
implementation even if direct-reclaim made some progress but still
wasn't able to find a free page. On retrying I see that the allocations
almost always succeed. The retry doesn't happen because __GFP_NORETRY is
used in the tracer to prevent the case where we might OOM, however if we
drop __GFP_NORETRY, we risk destabilizing the system if OOM killer is
triggered. To prevent this situation, use the __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL flag
introduced recently [1].

Tested the following still succeeds without destabilizing a system with
1GB memory.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 73a757e631 ring-buffer: Return reader page back into existing ring buffer
When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice,
where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the
reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls
ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the
reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page
for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page
for the reader.

The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is
passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next
iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc
mechanism.

Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to
require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling
ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a
stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times
the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring
buffer.

Before this change:

  # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1
  # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l
  9968

After this change:

  # trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1
  # trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l
  4

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 78f7a45dac ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_iter_empty() return true when empty
I noticed that reading the snapshot file when it is empty no longer gives a
status. It suppose to show the status of the snapshot buffer as well as how
to allocate and use it. For example:

 ># cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 #
 # * Snapshot is allocated *
 #
 # 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')

But instead it just showed an empty buffer:

 ># cat snapshot
 # tracer: nop
 #
 # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 0/0   #P:4
 #
 #                              _-----=> irqs-off
 #                             / _----=> need-resched
 #                            | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
 #                            || / _--=> preempt-depth
 #                            ||| /     delay
 #           TASK-PID   CPU#  ||||    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
 #              | |       |   ||||       |         |

What happened was that it was using the ring_buffer_iter_empty() function to
see if it was empty, and if it was, it showed the status. But that function
was returning false when it was empty. The reason was that the iter header
page was on the reader page, and the reader page was empty, but so was the
buffer itself. The check only tested to see if the iter was on the commit
page, but the commit page was no longer pointing to the reader page, but as
all pages were empty, the buffer is also.

o STM can hook into the function tracer
  o Function filtering now supports more advance glob matching
  o Ftrace selftests updates and added tests
  o Softirq tag in traces now show only softirqs
  o ARM nop added to non traced locations at compile time
  o New trace_marker_raw file that allows for binary input
  o Optimizations to the ring buffer
  o Removal of kmap in trace_marker
  o Wakeup and irqsoff tracers now adhere to the set_graph_notrace file
  o Other various fixes and clean ups
 
 Note, there are two patches marked for stable. These were discovered
 near the end of the 4.9 rc release cycle. By the time I had them tested
 it was just a matter of days before 4.9 would be released, and I
 figured I would just submit them in the merge window. They are old
 bugs and not critical. Nothing non-root could abuse.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior 99e6f6e813 tracing/rb: Init the CPU mask on allocation
Before commit b32614c034 ("tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state
machine") the allocated cpumask was initialized to the mask of ONLINE or
POSSIBLE CPUs. After the CPU hotplug changes the buffer initialisation
moved to trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but I forgot to initially set the
cpumask to zero. This is done now.

Before commit b32614c034 ("tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state machine")
the allocated cpumask was initialized to the mask of online or possible
CPUs. After the CPU hotplug changes the buffer initialization moved to
trace_rb_cpu_prepare() but the cpumask is allocated with alloc_cpumask()
and therefor has random content. As a consequence the cpu buffers are not
initialized and a later access dereferences a NULL pointer.

Use zalloc_cpumask() instead so trace_rb_cpu_prepare() initializes the
buffers properly.

Sebastian Andrzej Siewior b32614c034 tracing/rb: Convert to hotplug state machine
Install the callbacks via the state machine. The notifier in struct
ring_buffer is replaced by the multi instance interface.  Upon
__ring_buffer_alloc() invocation, cpuhp_state_add_instance() will invoke
the trace_rb_cpu_prepare() on each CPU.

This callback may now fail. This means __ring_buffer_alloc() will fail and
cleanup (like previously) and during a CPU up event this failure will not
allow the CPU to come up.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 929ddbf3ef ring-buffer: Always inline rb_event_data()
The rb_event_data() is the fast path of getting the ring buffer data from an
event. Externally, ring_buffer_event_data() is used to access this function.
But unfortunately, rb_event_data() is not inlined, and calling
ring_buffer_event_data() causes that function to be called again. Force
rb_event_data() to be inlined to lower the number of operations needed when
calling ring_buffer_event_data().

The function rb_reserved_next_event() is called by two functions:
ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and ring_buffer_write(). This is in a very hot
path of the tracing code, and it is best that they are not functions. The
two callers are basically wrapers for rb_reserver_next_event(). Removing the
function calls can save execution time in the hotpath of tracing.
