tracing/Documentation: Start a document on how to debug with tracing
Add a new document Documentation/trace/debugging.rst that will hold various ways to debug tracing. This initial version mentions trace_printk and how to create persistent buffers that can last across bootups.

tracing: Add option to set an instance to be the trace_printk destination
Add a option "trace_printk_dest" that will make the tracing instance the location that trace_printk() will go to. This is useful if the trace_printk or one of the top level tracers is too noisy and there's a need to separate the two. Then an instance can be created, the trace_printk can be set to go there instead, where it will not be lost in the noise of the top level tracer. Note, only one instance can be the destination of trace_printk at a time. If an instance sets this flag, the instance that had it set will have it cleared. There is always one instance that has this set. By default, that is the top instance. This flag cannot be cleared from the top instance. Doing so will result in an -EINVAL. The only way this flag can be cleared from the top instance is by another instance setting it.

ftrace: Rewrite of function graph tracer
Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user attached to it. If another user tried to attach to the function graph tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing function graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for since 2009, but it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so it never happened. Until now! There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function graph tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes uses a shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a shadow stack for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it possible to trace the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs that feature too, allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed. BPF also wants to trace the return of many probes and its method doesn't scale either. Having it use function graph tracer would improve that. By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This will allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version will no longer be needed. Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16 simultaneous users, due to shadow stack size and allocated slots. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZpbWlxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qgtvAP9jxmgEiEhz4Bpe1vRKVSMYK6ozXHTT 7MFKRMeQqQ8zeAEA2sD5Zrt9l7zKzg0DFpaDLgc3/yh14afIDxzTlIvkmQ8= =umuf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: "Rewrite of function graph tracer to allow multiple users Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user attached to it.

tracing ring buffer updates for v6.10:
- Add ring_buffer memory mappings The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with the splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers and the reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer that's part of the write buffer. It then has total access to the swapped out sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory into other mediums (file system, network, etc). The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space task itself. A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader sub-buffer (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change which sub-buffer is the new reader sub-buffer. The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer that the writer will not write over. A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as an example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external to the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be enabled by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used for testing applications that perform better with the buffer being mapped. Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can not be used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped, snapshots will be disabled. If any logic is set to trigger snapshots on a buffer, that buffer will not be allowed to be mapped. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZkYzDRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qttNAQCj3I0OpeI1vms85ShIa7Eha2qes5uC Yml2fnapkmRSwAEAp5UTGxtDctycWOk9B9PA7/oJmLgATaQwRKoEeTUwfAA= =TyEB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing ring buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: "Add ring_buffer memory mappings.

Probes updates for v6.10:
- tracing/probes: Adding new pseudo-types %pd and %pD support for dumping
dentry name from 'struct dentry *' and file name from 'struct file *'.
- uprobes: Some performance optimizations have been done.
. Speed up the BPF uprobe event by delaying the fetching of the uprobe
event arguments that are not used in BPF.
. Avoid locking by speculatively checking whether uprobe event is valid.
. Reduce lock contention by using read/write_lock instead of spinlock for
uprobe list operation. This improved BPF uprobe benchmark result 43% on
average.
- rethook: Removes non-fatal warning messages when tracing stack from BPF
and skip rcu_is_watching() validation in rethook if possible.
- objpool: Optimizing objpool (which is used by kretprobes and fprobe as
rethook backend storage) by inlining functions and avoid caching nr_cpu_ids
because it is a const value.
- fprobe: Add entry/exit callbacks types (code cleanup)
- kprobes: Check ftrace was killed in kprobes if it uses ftrace.

tracing updates for 6.8:
- Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and only those events are exposed to this instance. - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than just the architecture page size. A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in 10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is the next available size that can hold 10K pages. - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information to this dump that helps with debugging. - Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is enabled) - Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes. - Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold). - Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can hold. - Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has been removed. - More selftests were added. - Some code clean ups as well. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZZ8p3BQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6ql2GAQDZg/zlFEiJHyTfWbCIE8pA3T5xbzKo 26TNxIZAxJJZpQEAvGFU5Smy14pG6soEoVMp8B6ZOANbqU8VVamhOL+r+Qw= =0OYG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can use to send events to user space.

Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following a
warning that was added in 6.2.
- Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to, hopefully,
make it more useful.
- Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly with
__counted_by annotations.
- We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the delightful
consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs build. A sustained
effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has addressed almost all of those,
bringing the documentation back into sync with the code. The fixes are
going through the appropriate maintainer trees.
- Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic links
to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations easy to
access.
- Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese.
...plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes.

tracing: Update subbuffer with kilobytes not page order
Using page order for deciding what the size of the ring buffer sub buffers are is exposing a bit too much of the implementation. Although the sub buffers are only allocated in orders of pages, allow the user to specify the minimum size of each sub-buffer via kilobytes like they can with the buffer size itself. If the user specifies 3 via: echo 3 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb Then the sub-buffer size will round up to 4kb (on a 4kb page size system). If they specify: echo 6 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb The sub-buffer size will become 8kb. and so on.

Documentation: coresight: fix make refcheckdocs warning
This reference uses a glob pattern to match multiple files, but the
asterisk was escaped as \* in order to not be interpreted by sphinx
as reStructuredText markup.
refcheckdocs/documentation-file-ref-check doesn't know about rST syntax
and tries to interpret the \* literally (instead of as a glob).
We can work around the warning by putting the Documentation reference
inside double backticks (``..``), which allows us to not escape the
asterisk.

Tracing updates for v6.7:
- Remove eventfs_file descriptor This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs create its files dynamically. In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and file inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The directories were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files were represented by a eventfs_file. In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format", etc files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf eventfs directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a callback. When a event is added to the eventfs, it registers an array of evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and the callbacks to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets the name so that the same callback may be used by multiple files. The callback then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed to create this file. This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs instances down by 2 megs each! - User events now has persistent events that are not associated to a single processes. These are privileged events that hang around even if no process is attached to them. - Clean up of seq_buf. There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and friends. But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf to be able to do this. - Expand instance ring buffers individually Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance. - Other minor clean ups and fixes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZUMrBBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6quzVAQCed/kPM7X9j2QZamJVDruMf2CmVxpu /TOvKvSKV584GgEAxLntf5VKx1Q98bc68y3Zkg+OCi8jSgORos1ROmURhws= =iIgb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Remove eventfs_file descriptor This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs create its files dynamically.

Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
included in this merge do the following:
- Kemeng Shi has contributed some compation maintenance work in the
series "Fixes and cleanups to compaction".
- Joel Fernandes has a patchset ("Optimize mremap during mutual
alignment within PMD") which fixes an obscure issue with mremap()'s
pagetable handling during a subsequent exec(), based upon an
implementation which Linus suggested.
- More DAMON/DAMOS maintenance and feature work from SeongJae Park i the
following patch series:
mm/damon: misc fixups for documents, comments and its tracepoint
mm/damon: add a tracepoint for damos apply target regions
mm/damon: provide pseudo-moving sum based access rate
mm/damon: implement DAMOS apply intervals
mm/damon/core-test: Fix memory leaks in core-test
mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: Do DAMOS tried regions update for only one apply interval
- In the series "Do not try to access unaccepted memory" Adrian Hunter
provides some fixups for the recently-added "unaccepted memory' feature.
To increase the feature's checking coverage. "Plug a few gaps where
RAM is exposed without checking if it is unaccepted memory".
- In the series "cleanups for lockless slab shrink" Qi Zheng has done
some maintenance work which is preparation for the lockless slab
shrinking code.
- Qi Zheng has redone the earlier (and reverted) attempt to make slab
shrinking lockless in the series "use refcount+RCU method to implement
lockless slab shrink".
- David Hildenbrand contributes some maintenance work for the rmap code
in the series "Anon rmap cleanups".
- Kefeng Wang does more folio conversions and some maintenance work in
the migration code. Series "mm: migrate: more folio conversion and
unification".

trace-vmscan-postprocess: sync with tracepoints updates
The script has fallen behind tracepoint changes for a while, fix it up. Most changes are mechanical (renames, removal of tracepoint parameters that are not used by the script). More notable change involves mm_vmscan_lru_isolate which is relying on the isolate_mode to determine if the inactive list is being scanned. However the parameter currently only indicates ISOLATE_UNMAPPED. We can use the lru parameter instead to determine which list is scanned, and stop checking isolate_mode.

tracing/user_events: Document persist event flags
Users need to know how to make events persist now that we allow for that. We also now allow the dynamic_events file to create events by utilizing the persist flag during event register. Add back in to documentation how /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events can be used to create persistent user_events. Add a section under registering for the currently supported flags (USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST) and the required permissions. Add a note under deleting that deleting a persistent event also requires sufficient permission.

Probes updates for v6.6:
- kprobes: use struct_size() for variable size kretprobe_instance
data structure.
- eprobe: Simplify trace_eprobe list iteration.
- probe events: Data structure field access support on BTF argument.
. Update BTF argument support on the functions in the kernel loadable
modules (only loaded modules are supported).
. Move generic BTF access function (search function prototype and get
function parameters) to a separated file.
. Add a function to search a member of data structure in BTF.
. Support accessing BTF data structure member from probe args by
C-like arrow('->') and dot('.') operators. e.g.
't sched_switch next=next->pid vruntime=next->se.vruntime'
. Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g.
'f getname_flags%return +0($retval->name):string'
. Add string type checking if BTF type info is available.
This will reject if user specify ":string" type for non "char
pointer" type.
. Automatically assume the fprobe event as a function return event
if $retval is used.
- selftests/ftrace: Add BTF data field access test cases.
- Documentation: Update fprobe event example with BTF data field.

Tracing updates for 6.6:
User visible changes:
- Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:
# echo 'cpumask & CPUS{17-42}' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ipi_send_cpumask/filter
- Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer size via
buffer_size_kb. Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual
size rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.
Major changes:
- Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and dentries of
tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of events, and each event
has several inodes and dentries that currently exist even when tracing is
never used, they take up precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate
the inodes and dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There
is now metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will create
the inodes and dentries when they are used.
Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data, but will
wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's a little more
complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code works properly before
adding more complexity, making it easier to revert if need be.
Minor changes:
- Optimization to user event list traversal.
- Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the intermediate
permission removes all access to the files so it is not a security concern,
but just a clean up.)
- Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event logic.
- Other minor clean ups.

Probes updates for v6.5:
- fprobe: Pass return address to the fprobe entry/exit callbacks so that
the callbacks don't need to analyze pt_regs/stack to find the function
return address.
- kprobe events: cleanup usage of TPARG_FL_FENTRY and TPARG_FL_RETURN
flags so that those are not set at once.
- fprobe events:
. Add a new fprobe events for tracing arbitrary function entry and
exit as a trace event.
. Add a new tracepoint events for tracing raw tracepoint as a trace
event. This allows user to trace non user-exposed tracepoints.
. Move eprobe's event parser code into probe event common file.
. Introduce BTF (BPF type format) support to kernel probe (kprobe,
fprobe and tracepoint probe) events so that user can specify traced
function arguments by name. This also applies the type of argument
when fetching the argument.
. Introduce '$arg*' wildcard support if BTF is available. This expands
the '$arg*' meta argument to all function argument automatically.
. Check the return value types by BTF. If the function returns 'void',
'$retval' is rejected.
. Add some selftest script for fprobe events, tracepoint events and
BTF support.
. Update documentation about the fprobe events.
. Some fixes for above features, document and selftests.
- selftests for ftrace (except for new fprobe events):
. Add a test case for multiple consecutive probes in a function which
checks if ftrace based kprobe, optimized kprobe and normal kprobe
can be defined in the same target function.
. Add a test case for optimized probe, which checks whether kprobe
can be optimized or not.

Tracing updates for 6.5:
- Add new feature to have function graph tracer record the return value. Adds a new option: funcgraph-retval ; when set, will show the return value of a function in the function graph tracer. - Also add the option: funcgraph-retval-hex where if it is not set, and the return value is an error code, then it will return the decimal of the error code, otherwise it still reports the hex value. - Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu<cpu>/timerlat_fd That when a application opens it, it becomes the task that the timer lat tracer traces. The application can also read this file to find out how it's being interrupted. - Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/available_filter_functions_addrs that works just the same as available_filter_functions but also shows the addresses of the functions like kallsyms, except that it gives the address of where the fentry/mcount jump/nop is. This is used by BPF to make it easier to attach BPF programs to ftrace hooks. - Replace strlcpy with strscpy in the tracing boot code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZJy6ixQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qnzRAPsEI2YgjaJSHnuPoGRHbrNil6pq66wY LYaLizGI4Jv9BwEAqdSdcYcMiWo1SFBAO8QxEDM++BX3zrRyVgW8ahaTNgs= =TF0C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add new feature to have function graph tracer record the return value.

tracing/timerlat: Add user-space interface
Going a step further, we propose a way to use any user-space
workload as the task waiting for the timerlat timer. This is done
via a per-CPU file named osnoise/cpu$id/timerlat_fd file.
The tracef_fd allows a task to open at a time. When a task reads
the file, the timerlat timer is armed for future osnoise/timerlat_period_us
time. When the timer fires, it prints the IRQ latency and
wakes up the user-space thread waiting in the timerlat_fd.
The thread then starts to run, executes the timerlat measurement, prints
the thread scheduling latency and returns to user-space.
When the thread rereads the timerlat_fd, the tracer will print the
user-ret(urn) latency, which is an additional metric.
This additional metric is also traced by the tracer and can be used, for
example of measuring the context switch overhead from kernel-to-user and
user-to-kernel, or the response time for an arbitrary execution in
user-space.
The tracer supports one thread per CPU, the thread must be pinned to
the CPU, and it cannot migrate while holding the timerlat_fd. The reason
is that the tracer is per CPU (nothing prohibits the tracer from
allowing migrations in the future). The tracer monitors the migration
of the thread and disables the tracer if detected.
The timerlat_fd is only available for opening/reading when timerlat
tracer is enabled, and NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set.
The simplest way to activate this feature from user-space is:
-------------------------------- %< -----------------------------------
int main(void)
{
char buffer[1024];
int timerlat_fd;
int retval;
long cpu = 0; /* place in CPU 0 */
cpu_set_t set;
CPU_ZERO(&set);
CPU_SET(cpu, &set);
if (sched_setaffinity(gettid(), sizeof(set), &set) == -1)
return 1;
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer),
"/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu%ld/timerlat_fd",
cpu);
timerlat_fd = open(buffer, O_RDONLY);
if (timerlat_fd < 0) {
printf("error opening %s: %s\n", buffer, strerror(errno));
exit(1);
}
for (;;) {
retval = read(timerlat_fd, buffer, 1024);
if (retval < 0)
break;
}
close(timerlat_fd);
exit(0);
}
-------------------------------- >% -----------------------------------
When disabling timerlat, if there is a workload holding the timerlat_fd,
the SIGKILL will be sent to the thread.

ftrace: Show all functions with addresses in available_filter_functions_addrs
Adding new available_filter_functions_addrs file that shows all available
functions (same as available_filter_functions) together with addresses,
like:
# cat available_filter_functions_addrs | head
ffffffff81000770 __traceiter_initcall_level
ffffffff810007c0 __traceiter_initcall_start
ffffffff81000810 __traceiter_initcall_finish
ffffffff81000860 trace_initcall_finish_cb
...
Note displayed address is the patch-site address and can differ from
/proc/kallsyms address.
It's useful to have address avilable for traceable symbols, so we don't
need to allways cross check kallsyms with available_filter_functions
(or the other way around) and have all the data in single file.
For backwards compatibility reasons we can't change the existing
available_filter_functions file output, but we need to add new file.
The problem is that we need to do 2 passes:
- through available_filter_functions and find out if the function is traceable
- through /proc/kallsyms to get the address for traceable function
Having available_filter_functions symbols together with addresses allow
us to skip the kallsyms step and we are ok with the address in
available_filter_functions_addr not being the function entry, because
kprobe_multi uses fprobe and that handles both entry and patch-site
address properly.
We have 2 interfaces how to create kprobe_multi link:
a) passing symbols to kernel
1) user gathers symbols and need to ensure that they are
trace-able -> pass through available_filter_functions file
2) kernel takes those symbols and translates them to addresses
through kallsyms api
3) addresses are passed to fprobe/ftrace through:
register_fprobe_ips
-> ftrace_set_filter_ips
b) passing addresses to kernel
1) user gathers symbols and needs to ensure that they are
trace-able -> pass through available_filter_functions file
2) user takes those symbols and translates them to addresses
through /proc/kallsyms
3) addresses are passed to the kernel and kernel calls:
register_fprobe_ips
-> ftrace_set_filter_ips
The new available_filter_functions_addrs file helps us with option b),
because we can make 'b 1' and 'b 2' in one step - while filtering traceable
functions, we get the address directly.
