This patch implements the kernel side support for ftrace event
record sampling.
A new counter sampling attribute is added:
PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD
which requests ftrace events record sampling. In this case
if a PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT counter is active and a tracepoint
fires, we emit the tracepoint binary record to the
perfcounter event buffer, as a sample.
Result, after setting PERF_SAMPLE_TP_RECORD attribute from perf
record:
perf record -f -F 1 -a -e workqueue:workqueue_execution
perf report -D
0x21e18 [0x48]: event: 9
.
. ... raw event: size 72 bytes

.
0x21e18 [0x48]: PERF_EVENT_SAMPLE (IP, 1): 10: 0xffffffff8100c7d0 period: 33
The raw ftrace binary record starts at offset 0020.
Translation:
struct trace_entry {
type = 0x2b = 43;
flags = 1;
preempt_count = 2;
pid = 0xa = 10;
tgid = 0xa = 10;
}
thread_comm = "events/1"
thread_pid = 0xa = 10;
func = 0xffffffff8131b1e0 = flush_to_ldisc()
What will come next?
- Userspace support ('perf trace'), 'flight data recorder' mode
for perf trace, etc.
- The unconditional copy from the profiling callback brings
some costs however if someone wants no such sampling to
occur, and needs to be fixed in the future. For that we need
to have an instant access to the perf counter attribute.
This is a matter of a flag to add in the struct ftrace_event.
- Take care of the events recursivity! Don't ever try to record
a lock event for example, it seems some locking is used in
the profiling fast path and lead to a tracing recursivity.
That will be fixed using raw spinlock or recursivity
protection.
- [...]
- Profit! :-)

TP_perf_assign(

Which, when specified make the swcounter increment with @foo instead
of the usual 1, and report @bar for PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR (data address

While looking at Jens Rosenboom bug report
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/27/35) about strange sys_futex call done from
a dying "ps" program, we found following problem.
clone() syscall has special support for TID of created threads. This
support includes two features.
One (CLONE_CHILD_SETTID) is to set an integer into user memory with the
TID value.
One (CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID) is to clear this same integer once the created
thread dies.
The integer location is a user provided pointer, provided at clone()
time.
kernel keeps this pointer value into current->clear_child_tid.
At execve() time, we should make sure kernel doesnt keep this user
provided pointer, as full user memory is replaced by a new one.
As glibc fork() actually uses clone() syscall with CLONE_CHILD_SETTID and
CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID set, chances are high that we might corrupt user
memory in forked processes.
Following sequence could happen:
1) bash (or any program) starts a new process, by a fork() call that
glibc maps to a clone( ... CLONE_CHILD_SETTID | CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID
...) syscall
2) When new process starts, its current->clear_child_tid is set to a
location that has a meaning only in bash (or initial program) context
(&THREAD_SELF->tid)
3) This new process does the execve() syscall to start a new program.
current->clear_child_tid is left unchanged (a non NULL value)
4) If this new program creates some threads, and initial thread exits,
kernel will attempt to clear the integer pointed by
current->clear_child_tid from mm_release() :
if (tsk->clear_child_tid
&& !(tsk->flags & PF_SIGNALED)
&& atomic_read(&mm->mm_users) > 1) {
u32 __user * tidptr = tsk->clear_child_tid;
tsk->clear_child_tid = NULL;
/*
* We don't check the error code - if userspace has
* not set up a proper pointer then tough luck.
*/
<< here >> put_user(0, tidptr);
sys_futex(tidptr, FUTEX_WAKE, 1, NULL, NULL, 0);
}
5) OR : if new program is not multi-threaded, but spied by /proc/pid
users (ps command for example), mm_users > 1, and the exiting program
could corrupt 4 bytes in a persistent memory area (shm or memory mapped
file)
If current->clear_child_tid points to a writeable portion of memory of the
new program, kernel happily and silently corrupts 4 bytes of memory, with
unexpected effects.
Fix is straightforward and should not break any sane program.

When calling rb_buffer_peek() from ring_buffer_consume() and a
padding event is returned, the function rb_advance_reader() is
called twice. This may lead to missing samples or under high
workloads to the warning below. This patch fixes this. If a padding
event is returned by rb_buffer_peek() it will be consumed by the
calling function now.
Also, I simplified some code in ring_buffer_consume().

Not all tracepoints are created equal, in specific the ftrace
tracepoints are created with TRACE_EVENT_FORMAT() which does
not generate the needed bits to tie them into perf counters.

In the event of a lock steal or owner died,
rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() will give the rt_mutex to the
waiting task, but it fails to release the wait_lock. This leads
to subsequent deadlocks when other tasks try to acquire the
rt_mutex.
I also removed a few extra blank lines that really spaced this
routine out. I must have been high on the \n when I wrote this

Will permanently set oops_in_progress on any lockdep failure.
When this triggers it will cause any read from the ring buffer to
permanently disable the ring buffer (not to mention no locking of
printk).
This patch removes the check. It keeps the print in NMI which makes
sense. This is probably OK, since the ring buffer should not cause
something to set oops_in_progress anyway.
