<id>urn:sha1:b1560408692cd0ab0370cfbe9deb03ce97ab3f6d</id>
<content type='text'>
When eventfs was introduced, special care had to be done to coordinate the
freeing of the file meta data with the files that are exposed to user
space. The file meta data would have a ref count that is set when the file
is created and would be decremented and freed after the last user that
opened the file closed it. When the file meta data was to be freed, it
would set a flag (EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED) to denote that the file is freed,
and any new references made (like new opens or reads) would fail as it is
marked freed. This allowed other meta data to be freed after this flag was
set (under the event_mutex).

All the files that were dynamically created in the events directory had a
pointer to the file meta data and would call event_release() when the last
reference to the user space file was closed. This would be the time that it
is safe to free the file meta data.

A shortcut was made for the "format" file. It's i_private would point to
the "call" entry directly and not point to the file's meta data. This is
because all format files are the same for the same "call", so it was
thought there was no reason to differentiate them.  The other files
maintain state (like the "enable", "trigger", etc). But this meant if the
file were to disappear, the "format" file would be unaware of it.

This caused a race that could be trigger via the user_events test (that
would create dynamic events and free them), and running a loop that would
read the user_events format files:

In one console run:

 # cd tools/testing/selftests/user_events
 # while true; do ./ftrace_test; done

And in another console run:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
 # while true; do cat events/user_events/__test_event/format; done 2&gt;/dev/null

With KASAN memory checking, it would trigger a use-after-free bug report
(which was a real bug). This was because the format file was not checking
the file's meta data flag "EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED", so it would access the
event that the file meta data pointed to after the event was freed.

After inspection, there are other locations that were found to not check
the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag when accessing the trace_event_file. Add a
new helper function: event_file_file() that will make sure that the
event_mutex is held, and will return NULL if the trace_event_file has the
EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag set. Have the first reference of the struct file
pointer use event_file_file() and check for NULL. Later uses can still use
the event_file_data() helper function if the event_mutex is still held and
was not released since the event_file_file() call.

The use of the task-&gt;trace_recursion for the logic used for the function
graph no-trace was a bit of an abuse of that variable. Now that there
exists global vars that are per stack for registered graph traces, use
that instead.

<title>function_graph: Have the instances use their own ftrace_ops for filtering</title>

<content type='text'>
Allow for instances to have their own ftrace_ops part of the fgraph_ops
that makes the funtion_graph tracer filter on the set_ftrace_filter file
of the instance and not the top instance.

This uses the new ftrace_startup_subops(), by using graph_ops as the
"manager ops" that defines the callback function and adds the functions
defined by the filters of the ops for each trace instance. The callback
defined by the manager ops will call the registered fgraph ops that were
added to the fgraph_array.

<title>ftrace: Add subops logic to allow one ops to manage many</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5fccc7552ccbc521bad61653ee739b1196b1bc53</id>
<content type='text'>
There are cases where a single system will use a single function callback
to handle multiple users. For example, to allow function_graph tracer to
have multiple users where each can trace their own set of functions, it is
useful to only have one ftrace_ops registered to ftrace that will call a
function by the function_graph tracer to handle the multiplexing with the
different registered  function_graph tracers.

Add a "subop_list" to the ftrace_ops that will hold a list of other
ftrace_ops that the top ftrace_ops will manage.

The function ftrace_startup_subops() that takes the manager ftrace_ops and
a subop ftrace_ops it will manage. If there are no subops with the
ftrace_ops yet, it will copy the ftrace_ops subop filters to the manager
ftrace_ops and register that with ftrace_startup(), and adds the subop to
its subop_list. If the manager ops already has something registered, it
will then merge the new subop filters with what it has and enable the new
functions that covers all the subops it has.

To remove a subop, ftrace_shutdown_subops() is called which will use the
subop_list of the manager ops to rebuild all the functions it needs to
trace, and update the ftrace records to only call the functions it now has
registered. If there are no more functions registered, it will then call
ftrace_shutdown() to disable itself completely.

Note, it is up to the manager ops callback to always make sure that the
subops callbacks are called if its filter matches, as there are times in
the update where the callback could be calling more functions than those
that are currently registered.

This could be updated to handle other systems other than function_graph,
for example, fprobes could use this (but will need an interface to call
ftrace_startup_subops()).

Now that function graph tracing can handle more than one user, allow it to
be enabled in the ftrace instances. Note, the filtering of the functions is
still joined by the top level set_ftrace_filter and friends, as well as the
graph and nograph files.

Pass the fgraph_ops structure to the function graph callbacks. This will
allow callbacks to add a descriptor to a fgraph_ops private field that wil
be added in the future and use it for the callbacks. This will be useful
when more than one callback can be registered to the function graph tracer.

Currently, user-space extracts data from the ring-buffer via splice,
which is handy for storage or network sharing. However, due to splice
limitations, it is imposible to do real-time analysis without a copy.

A solution for that problem is to let the user-space map the ring-buffer
directly.

The mapping is exposed via the per-CPU file trace_pipe_raw. The first
element of the mapping is the meta-page. It is followed by each
subbuffer constituting the ring-buffer, ordered by their unique page ID:

  * Meta-page -- include/uapi/linux/trace_mmap.h for a description
  * Subbuf ID 0
  * Subbuf ID 1
     ...

It is therefore easy to translate a subbuf ID into an offset in the
mapping:

  reader_id = meta-&gt;reader-&gt;id;
  reader_offset = meta-&gt;meta_page_size + reader_id * meta-&gt;subbuf_size;

When new data is available, the mapper must call a newly introduced ioctl:
TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER. This will update the Meta-page reader ID to
point to the next reader containing unread data.

Mapping will prevent snapshot and buffer size modifications.
