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.

<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.

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.

<title>function_graph: Support recording and printing the return value of function</title>
<updated>2023-06-20T22:38:37Z</updated>

<name>Donglin Peng</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=a1be9ccc57f07d54278be34eed6bd679bc941c97'/>
<id>urn:sha1:a1be9ccc57f07d54278be34eed6bd679bc941c97</id>
<content type='text'>
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` &gt; /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 &gt; tracing_on
echo &gt; trace
echo *sys_write &gt; set_graph_function
echo *spin* &gt; set_graph_notrace
echo *rcu* &gt;&gt; set_graph_notrace
echo *alloc* &gt;&gt; set_graph_notrace
echo preempt* &gt;&gt; set_graph_notrace
echo kfree* &gt;&gt; set_graph_notrace
echo $$ &gt; set_ftrace_pid
echo function_graph &gt; current_tracer
echo 1 &gt; options/funcgraph-retval
echo 0 &gt; options/funcgraph-retval-hex
echo 1 &gt; tracing_on
echo `pidof demo` &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/tasks
echo 0 &gt; tracing_on
cat trace &gt; ~/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.

...

 1)          | cgroup_migrate() {
 1) 0.651 us |   cgroup_migrate_add_task(); /* = 0xffff93fcfd346c00 */
 1)          |   cgroup_migrate_execute() {
 1)          |     cpu_cgroup_can_attach() {
 1)          |       cgroup_taskset_first() {
 1) 0.732 us |         cgroup_taskset_next(); /* = 0xffff93fc8fb20000 */
 1) 1.232 us |       } /* cgroup_taskset_first = 0xffff93fc8fb20000 */
 1) 0.380 us |       sched_rt_can_attach(); /* = 0x0 */
 1) 2.335 us |     } /* cpu_cgroup_can_attach = -22 */
 1) 4.369 us |   } /* cgroup_migrate_execute = -22 */
 1) 7.143 us | } /* cgroup_migrate = -22 */

<content type='text'>
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.

<title>tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:36590c50b2d0729952511129916beeea30d31d81</id>
<content type='text'>
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() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()

In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

A build with all tracers enabled on x86-64 with and without the patch:

    text     data      bss      dec      hex    filename
21970669 17084168  7639260 46694097  2c87ed1 vmlinux.old
21970293 17084168  7639260 46693721  2c87d59 vmlinux.new

text shrank by 379 bytes, data remained constant.
