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.

Documentation: tracing: Add a note about argument and retval access
Add a note about the argument and return value accecss will be best effort. Depending on the type, it will be passed via stack or a pair of the registers, but $argN and $retval only support the single register access.

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.

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.

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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJIBAABCgAyFiEEXtmkj8VMCiLR0IBM68Js21pW3nMFAmTwtAsUHHJvc3RlZHRA Z29vZG1pcy5vcmcACgkQ68Js21pW3nNOXRAAsslQT6alY4OeplC4x47+V6+6NiIA oDtOmWAqf7TsH9bukzRFD36rUly42O20RJDx9z0Q3iRc3vGxEawId8z6P0HmBwRb VSl5BryWvL5Wc5w94xS8EeCuC1MRfhVDyfbtVFmWigzfvd/f+hp71ViMPHUvrRJX KhzzNSBc4ir5E1lzfwa7meYTXzDwrQlZbYfdf5aH94IWAkqDj85PUZDJ7UmLZhXG CIglSpNFXZ0j19Wo/U6KZlHR1XfunBKungCzJ5Dbznc9YLWZTQXOIZF4YPKfPIJL ulRG9chwXY0nQWhG3xM1UHZLsAMSWw5i13a4ZN4d8FCNOgv8ttcJnfDk7ZYUS0Oz RmY1dGcSRKAZTUTjm8ZBtmyiUCc9kZAIk0fyEfIHtoDYXmhnvni3wuTnbRSdXaSi q4YkxPaLfX8Fn3QloCqqddt8iONu7BnbpZOhUCl2AtBib52gnTTF7+rQ6/0D3rjo SSuvEHhnjJhzk+3jM2odxjmTAztNT+yu6FbKXZUKPt1Kj9YHv1J9cEQw9/Etw+GV 8jQBe979D8hFJmDOJOT/O/TdPqE9mQoMNBt6Y8QnE4nbJWM+i/MBrThFpUSQhRCr 0Ya/HgR2QyRH7RmZW5o2H9mNtN+V9c7RxZW8erYzRbUs0YofK2OpGi9SrPzxWCke w6j0VVZHaxdPguM= =/s+e -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "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.

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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCgAdFiEEh7BulGwFlgAOi5DV2/sHvwUrPxsFAmSa+9MACgkQ2/sHvwUr PxsmOAgAmUOIWtvH5py7AZpIRhCj8B18F6KnT7w2hByCsRxf7SaCqMhpBCk9VnYv 9fJFBHpvYRJEmpHoH3o2ET5AGfKVNac9z96AGI2qJ4ECWITd6I5+WfTdZ5ueVn2d f6DQ10mHXDHSMFbuqfYWSHtkeivJpWpUNHhwzPb4doNOe06bZNfVuSgnksFg1at5 kq16HbvGnhPzdO4YHmvqwjmRHr5/nCI1KDE9xIBcqNtWFbiRigC11zaZEUkLX+vT F63ShyfCK718AiwDfnjXpGkXAiVOZuAIR8RELaSqQ92YHCFKq5k9K4++WllPR5f9 AxjVultFDiCd4oSPgYpQkjuZdFq9NA== =IhmY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'probes-v6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu: - 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.

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.

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.

hwtracing: hisi_ptt: Export available filters through sysfs
The PTT can only filter the traced TLP headers by the Root Ports or the Requester ID of the Endpoint, which are located on the same PCIe core of the PTT device. The filter value used is derived from the BDF number of the supported Root Port or the Endpoint. It's not friendly enough for the users since it requires the user to be familiar enough with the platform and calculate the filter value manually. This patch export the available filters through sysfs. Each available filters is presented as an individual file with the name of the BDF number of the related PCIe device. The files are created under $(PTT PMU dir)/available_root_port_filters and $(PTT PMU dir)/available_requester_filters respectively. The filter value can be known by reading the related file. Then the users can easily know the available filters for trace and get the filter values without calculating.

tracing: Rename stacktrace field to common_stacktrace
The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called "stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that, convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like "common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as "common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace". Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

Minor tracing updates:
- Make buffer_percent read/write. The buffer_percent file is how users can state how long to block on the tracing buffer depending on how much is in the buffer. When it hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the task waiting on the buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only. This was not noticed because testing was done as root without SELinux, but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it without having CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE. - The "touched_functions" was added this merge window, but one of the reasons for adding it was not implemented. That was to show what functions were not only touched, but had either a direct trampoline attached to it, or a kprobe or live kernel patching that can "hijack" the function to run a different function. The point is to know if there's functions in the kernel that may not be behaving as the kernel code shows. This can be used for debugging.

ftrace: Add MODIFIED flag to show if IPMODIFY or direct was attached
If a function had ever had IPMODIFY or DIRECT attached to it, where this is how live kernel patching and BPF overrides work, mark them and display an "M" in the enabled_functions and touched_functions files. This can be used for debugging. If a function had been modified and later there's a bug in the code related to that function, this can be used to know if the cause is possibly from a live kernel patch or a BPF program that changed the behavior of the code. Also update the documentation on the enabled_functions and touched_functions output, as it was missing direct callers and CALL_OPS. And include this new modify attribute.

tracing updates for 6.4:
- User events are finally ready! After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events, which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the application to start writing to the kernel. See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/ - Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their own trampoline for performance reasons. - Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed as dynamic events. - More updates to references to the obsolete path of /sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path. - Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line by line instead of all at once. There's users in production kernels that have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print. Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that. - Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by a bpf program or live patching. - Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of the events. It's easier to read by humans. - Some minor fixes and clean ups. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZEr36xQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6quZHAQCzuqnn2S8DsPd3Sy1vKIYaj0uajW5D Kz1oUJH4F0H7kgEA8XwXkdtfKpOXWc/ZH4LWfL7Orx2wJZJQMV9dVqEPDAE= =w0Z1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - User events are finally ready!

tracing/probe: add a char type to show the character value of traced arguments
There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug convinience. I add a new type named 'char' to do it and a new test case file named 'kprobe_args_char.tc' to do selftest for char type. For example: The to be traced function is 'void demo_func(char type, char *name);', we can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want: echo 'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' > kprobe_events we will get the following trace log: ... myprobe: (demo_func+0x0/0x29) arg1='A' arg2={'b','p','f','1',''} Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221219110613.367098-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Donglin Peng <dolinux.peng@gmail.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> |

docs: ftrace: always use canonical ftrace path
The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

tracing: Add a way to filter function addresses to function names
There's been several times where an event records a function address in its field and I needed to filter on that address for a specific function name. It required looking up the function in kallsyms, finding its size, and doing a compare of "field >= function_start && field < function_end". But this would change from boot to boot and is unreliable in scripts. Also, it is useful to have this at boot up, where the addresses will not be known. For example, on the boot command line: trace_trigger="initcall_finish.traceoff if func.function == acpi_init" To implement this, add a ".function" prefix, that will check that the field is of size long, and the only operations allowed (so far) are "==" and "!=".
