tracing/eprobes: Allow use of BTF names to dereference pointers
Add syntax to the parsing of eprobes to be able to typecast a trace event
field that is a pointer to a structure.
Currently, a dereference must be a number, where the user has to figure
out manually the offset of a member of a structure that they want to
dereference.
But for event probes that records a field that happens to be a pointer to
a structure, it cannot dereference these values with BTF naming, but
must use numerical offsets.
For example, to find out what device a sk_buff is pointing to in the
net_dev_xmit trace event, one must first use gdb to find the offsets of the
members of the structures:
(gdb) p &((struct sk_buff *)0)->dev
$1 = (struct net_device **) 0x10
(gdb) p &((struct net_device *)0)->name
$2 = (char (*)[16]) 0x118
And then use the raw numbers to dereference:
# echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit +0x118(+0x10($skbaddr)):string' >> dynamic_events
If BTF is in the kernel, then instead, the skbaddr can be typecast to
sk_buff and use the normal dereference logic.
# echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit (sk_buff)skbaddr->dev->name:string' >> dynamic_events
# echo 1 > events/eprobes/xmit/enable
# cat trace

Documentation/rv: Replace stale website link
The sched monitor page was linking to Daniel's website which is now
down. The main purpose of the link was to point to a source for the
models from the original author and that can be found also in his
published paper.
Replace the link with a reference to Daniel's "A thread synchronization
model for the PREEMPT_RT Linux kernel" which can be found online and
includes the models definitions as well as the work behind them (not the
original patches but since they're based on a 5.0 kernel and are mostly
included upstream, there's little value in keeping them in the docs).

Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt: - Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types No functional changes, only less code duplication. - Add Hybrid Automata model class Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation scripts. - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an example of automaton working with real time variables. - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify. - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline monitors. - Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and exporting helpers. - Add nomiss deadline monitor Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete before their deadline. - Improve rvgen error handling Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones. - Improve python code quality in rvgen Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of __len__(), remove semicolons, use context managers for file operations, fix whitespace violations, extract magic strings into constants, remove unused imports and methods. - Fix small bugs in rvgen The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error in validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance() check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations and typos in comments. - rvgen refactoring Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle required arguments directly in argparse. - Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the sleep monitor as a valid sleep method. * tag 'trace-rv-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (32 commits) rv: Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor rv/rvgen: fix _fill_states() return type annotation rv/rvgen: fix unbound loop variable warning rv/rvgen: enforce presence of initial state rv/rvgen: extract node marker string to class constant rv/rvgen: fix isinstance check in Variable.expand() rv/rvgen: make monitor arguments required in rvgen rv/rvgen: remove unused __get_main_name method rv/rvgen: remove unused sys import from dot2c rv/rvgen: refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing rv/rvgen: use class constant for init marker rv/rvgen: fix DOT file validation logic error rv/rvgen: fix PEP 8 whitespace violations rv/rvgen: fix typos in automata and generator docstring and comments rv/rvgen: use context managers for file operations rv/rvgen: remove unnecessary semicolons rv/rvgen: replace __len__() calls with len() rv/rvgen: replace % string formatting with f-strings rv/rvgen: remove bare except clauses in generator rv/rvgen: introduce AutomataError exception class ... |

Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add remote buffers for pKVM pKVM has a hypervisor component that is used to protect the guest from the host kernel. This hypervisor is a black box to the kernel as the kernel is to user space. The remote buffers are used to have a memory mapping between the hypervisor and the kernel where kernel may send commands to enable tracing within the hypervisor. Then the kernel will read this memory mapping just like user space can read the memory mapped ring buffer of the kernel tracing system. Since the hypervisor only has a single context, it doesn't need to worry about races between normal context, interrupt context and NMIs like the kernel does. The ring buffer it uses doesn't need to be as complex. The remote buffers are a simple version of the ring buffer that works in a single context. They are still per-CPU and use sub buffers. The data layout is the same as the kernel's ring buffer to share the same parsing. Currently, only ARM64 implements pKVM, but there's work to implement it also in x86. The remote buffer code is separated out from the ARM implementation so that it can be used in the future by x86. The ARM64 updates for pKVM is in the ARM/KVM tree and it merged in the remote buffers of this tree. - Make the backup instance non reusable The backup instance is a copy of the persistent ring buffer so that the persistent ring buffer could start recording again without using the data from the previous boot. The backup isn't for normal tracing. It is made read-only, and after it is consumed, it is automatically removed. - Have backup copy persistent instance before it starts recording To allow the persistent ring buffer to start recording from the kernel command line commands, move the copy of the backup instance to before the the command line options start recording. - Report header_page overwrite field as "char" and not "int' The rust parser of the header_page file was triggering a warning when it defined the overwrite variable as "int" but it was only a single byte in size. - Fix memory barriers for the trace_buffer CPU mask When a CPU comes online, the bit is set to allow readers to know that the CPU buffer is allocated. The bit is set after the allocation is done, and a smp_wmb() is performed after the allocation and before the setting of the bit. But instead of adding a smp_rmb() to all readers, since once a buffer is created for a CPU it is not deleted if that CPU goes offline, so this allocation is almost always done at boot up before any readers exist. If for the unlikely case where a CPU comes online for the first time after the system boot has finished, send an IPI to all CPUs to force the smp_rmb() for each CPU. - Show clock function being used in debugging ring buffer data When the ring buffer checks are enabled and the ring buffer detects an inconsistency in the times of the invents, print out the clock being used when the error occurred. There was a very hard to hit bug that would happen every so often and it ended up being only triggered when the jiffies clock was being used. If the bug showed the clock being used, it would have been much easier to find the problem (which was an internal function was being traced which caused the clock accounting to go off). * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (26 commits) ring-buffer: Prevent off-by-one array access in ring_buffer_desc_page() ring-buffer: Report header_page overwrite as char tracing: Allow backup to save persistent ring buffer before it starts tracing/Documentation: Add a section about backup instance tracing: Remove the backup instance automatically after read tracing: Make the backup instance non-reusable ring-buffer: Enforce read ordering of trace_buffer cpumask and buffers ring-buffer: Show what clock function is used on timestamp errors tracing: Check for undefined symbols in simple_ring_buffer tracing: load/unload page callbacks for simple_ring_buffer Documentation: tracing: Add tracing remotes tracing: selftests: Add trace remote tests tracing: Add a trace remote module for testing tracing: Introduce simple_ring_buffer ring-buffer: Export buffer_data_page and macros tracing: Add helpers to create trace remote events tracing: Add events/ root files to trace remotes tracing: Add events to trace remotes tracing: Add init callback to trace remotes tracing: Add non-consuming read to trace remotes ... |

Merge tag 'pci-v7.1-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pci/pci
Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Enumeration:
- Allow TLP Processing Hints to be enabled for RCiEPs (George Abraham
P)
- Enable AtomicOps only if we know the Root Port supports them (Gerd
Bayer)
- Don't enable AtomicOps for RCiEPs since none of them need Atomic
Ops and we can't tell whether the Root Complex would support them
(Gerd Bayer)
- Leave Precision Time Measurement disabled until a driver enables it
to avoid PCIe errors (Mika Westerberg)
- Make pci_set_vga_state() fail if bridge doesn't support VGA
routing, i.e., PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA is not writable, and return
errors to vga_get() callers including userspace via
/dev/vga_arbiter (Simon Richter)
- Validate max-link-speed from DT in j721e, brcmstb, mediatek-gen3,
rzg3s drivers (where the actual controller constraints are known),
and remove validation from the generic OF DT accessor (Hans Zhang)
- Remove pc110pad driver (no longer useful after 486 CPU support
removed) and no_pci_devices() (pc110pad was the last user) (Dmitry
Torokhov, Heiner Kallweit)
Resource management:
- Prevent assigning space to unimplemented bridge windows; previously
we mistakenly assumed prefetchable window existed and assigned
space and put a BAR there (Ahmed Naseef)
- Avoid shrinking bridge windows to fit in the initial Root Port
window; fixes one problem with devices with large BARs connected
via switches, e.g., Thunderbolt (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Pass full extent of empty space, not just the aligned space, to
resource_alignf callback so free space before the requested
alignment can be used (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Place small resources before larger ones for better utilization of
address space (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Fix alignment calculation for resource size larger than align,
e.g., bridge windows larger than the 1MB required alignment (Ilpo
Järvinen)
Reset:
- Update slot handling so all ARI functions are treated as being in
the same slot. They're all reset by Secondary Bus Reset, but
previously drivers of ARI functions that appeared to be on a
non-zero device weren't notified and fatal hardware errors could
result (Keith Busch)
- Make sysfs reset_subordinate hotplug safe to avoid spurious hotplug
events (Keith Busch)
- Hide Secondary Bus Reset ('bus') from sysfs reset_methods if masked
by CXL because it has no effect (Vidya Sagar)
- Avoid FLR for AMD NPU device, where it causes the device to hang
(Lizhi Hou)
Error handling:
- Clear only error bits in PCIe Device Status to avoid accidentally
clearing Emergency Power Reduction Detected (Shuai Xue)
- Check for AER errors even in devices without drivers (Lukas Wunner)
- Initialize ratelimit info so DPC and EDR paths log AER error
information (Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan)
Power control:
- Add UPD720201/UPD720202 USB 3.0 xHCI Host Controller .compatible so
generic pwrctrl driver can control it (Neil Armstrong)
Hotplug:
- Set LED_HW_PLUGGABLE for NPEM hotplug-capable ports so LED core
doesn't complain when setting brightness fails because the endpoint
is gone (Richard Cheng)
Peer-to-peer DMA:
- Allow wildcards in list of host bridges that support peer-to-peer
DMA between hierarchy domains and add all Google SoCs (Jacob
Moroni)
Endpoint framework:
- Advertise dynamic inbound mapping support in pci-epf-test and
update host pci_endpoint_test to skip doorbell testing if not
advertised by endpoint (Koichiro Den)
- Return 0, not remaining timeout, when MHI eDMA ops complete so
mhi_ep_ring_add_element() doesn't interpret non-zero as failure
(Daniel Hodges)
- Remove vntb and ntb duplicate resource teardown that leads to oops
when .allow_link() fails or .drop_link() is called (Koichiro Den)
- Disable vntb delayed work before clearing BAR mappings and
doorbells to avoid oops caused by doing the work after resources
have been torn down (Koichiro Den)
- Add a way to describe reserved subregions within BARs, e.g.,
platform-owned fixed register windows, and use it for the RK3588
BAR4 DMA ctrl window (Koichiro Den)
- Add BAR_DISABLED for BARs that will never be available to an EPF
driver, and change some BAR_RESERVED annotations to BAR_DISABLED
(Niklas Cassel)
- Add NTB .get_dma_dev() callback for cases where DMA API requires a
different device, e.g., vNTB devices (Koichiro Den)
- Add reserved region types for MSI-X Table and PBA so Endpoint
controllers can them as describe hardware-owned regions in a
BAR_RESERVED BAR (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Make Tegra194/234 BAR0 programmable and remove 1MB size limit
(Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Expose Tegra BAR2 (MSI-X) and BAR4 (DMA) as 64-bit BAR_RESERVED
(Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Add Tegra194 and Tegra234 device table entries to pci_endpoint_test
(Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Skip the BAR subrange selftest if there are not enough inbound
window resources to run the test (Christian Bruel)
New native PCIe controller drivers:
- Add DT binding and driver for Andes QiLai SoC PCIe host controller
(Randolph Lin)
- Add DT binding and driver for ESWIN PCIe Root Complex (Senchuan
Zhang)
Baikal T-1 PCIe controller driver:
- Remove driver since it never quite became usable (Andy Shevchenko)
Cadence PCIe controller driver:
- Implement byte/word config reads with dword (32-bit) reads because
some Cadence controllers don't support sub-dword accesses (Aksh
Garg)
CIX Sky1 PCIe controller driver:
- Add 'power-domains' to DT binding for SCMI power domain (Gary Yang)
Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Add i.MX94 and i.MX943 to fsl,imx6q-pcie-ep DT binding (Richard
Zhu)
- Delay instead of polling for L2/L3 Ready after PME_Turn_off when
suspending i.MX6SX because LTSSM registers are inaccessible
(Richard Zhu)
- Separate PERST# assertion (for resetting endpoints) from core reset
(for resetting the RC itself) to prepare for new DTs with PERST#
GPIO in per-Root Port nodes (Sherry Sun)
- Retain Root Port MSI capability on i.MX7D, i.MX8MM, and i.MX8MQ so
MSI from downstream devices will work (Richard Zhu)
- Fix i.MX95 reference clock source selection when internal refclk is
used (Franz Schnyder)
Freescale Layerscape PCIe controller driver:
- Allow building as a removable module (Sascha Hauer)
MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:
- Use dev_err_probe() to simplify error paths and make deferred probe
messages visible in /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred (Chen-Yu
Tsai)
- Power off device if setup fails (Chen-Yu Tsai)
- Integrate new pwrctrl API to enable power control for WiFi/BT
adapters on mainboard or in PCIe or M.2 slots (Chen-Yu Tsai)
NVIDIA Tegra194 PCIe controller driver:
- Poll less aggressively and non-atomically for PME_TO_Ack during
transition to L2 (Vidya Sagar)
- Disable LTSSM after transition to Detect on surprise link down to
stop toggling between Polling and Detect (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Don't force the device into the D0 state before L2 when suspending
or shutting down the controller (Vidya Sagar)
- Disable PERST# IRQ only in Endpoint mode because it's not
registered in Root Port mode (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Handle 'nvidia,refclk-select' as optional (Vidya Sagar)
- Disable direct speed change in Endpoint mode so link speed change
is controlled by the host (Vidya Sagar)
- Set LTR values before link up to avoid bogus LTR messages with 0

- Allow system suspend when the Endpoint link is down (Vidya Sagar)
- Use DWC IP core version, not Tegra custom values, to avoid DWC core
version check warnings (Manikanta Maddireddy)

as 4.90a (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Disable PM Substate L1.2 in Endpoint mode to work around Tegra234
erratum (Vidya Sagar)
- Delay post-PERST# cleanup until core is powered on to avoid CBB
timeout (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Assert CLKREQ# so switches that forward it to their downstream side
can bring up those links successfully (Vidya Sagar)
- Calibrate pipe to UPHY for Endpoint mode to reset stale PLL state
from any previous bad link state (Vidya Sagar)
- Remove IRQF_ONESHOT flag from Endpoint interrupt registration so
DMA driver and Endpoint controller driver can share the interrupt
line (Vidya Sagar)
- Enable DMA interrupt to support DMA in both Root Port and Endpoint
modes (Vidya Sagar)
- Enable hardware link retraining after link goes down in Endpoint
mode (Vidya Sagar)
- Add DT binding and driver support for core clock monitoring (Vidya
Sagar)
Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:

Renesas R-Car PCIe controller driver:
- Mark Endpoint BAR0 and BAR2 as Resizable (Koichiro Den)

tracing: Documentation: Update histogram-design.rst for fn() handling
The histogram documentation describes the old method of the histogram triggers using the fn() field of the histogram field structure to process the field. But due to Spectre mitigation, the function pointer to handle the fields at runtime caused a noticeable overhead. It was converted over to a fn_num and hist_fn_call() is now used to call the specific functions for the fields via a switch statement based on the field's fn_num value. Update the documentation to reflect this change.

rv: Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton
The opid monitor validates that wakeup and need_resched events only occur with interrupts and preemption disabled by following the preemptirq tracepoints. As reported in [1], those tracepoints might be inaccurate in some situations (e.g. NMIs). Since the monitor doesn't validate other ordering properties, remove the dependency on preemptirq tracepoints and convert the monitor to a hybrid automaton to validate the constraint during event handling. This makes the monitor more robust by also removing the workaround for interrupts missing the preemption tracepoints, which was working on PREEMPT_RT only and allows the monitor to be built on kernels without the preemptirqs tracepoints.

Merge tag 'trace-v7.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"User visible changes:
- Add an entry into MAINTAINERS file for RUST versions of code
There's now RUST code for tracing and static branches. To
differentiate that code from the C code, add entries in for the
RUST version (with "[RUST]" around it) so that the right
maintainers get notified on changes.
- New bitmask-list option added to tracefs
When this is set, bitmasks in trace event are not displayed as hex
numbers, but instead as lists: e.g. 0-5,7,9 instead of 0000015f
- New show_event_filters file in tracefs
Instead of having to search all events/*/*/filter for any active
filters enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_filters
will list them so that there's only one file that needs to be
examined to see if any filters are active.
- New show_event_triggers file in tracefs
Instead of having to search all events/*/*/trigger for any active
triggers enabled in the trace instance, the file
show_event_triggers will list them so that there's only one file
that needs to be examined to see if any triggers are active.
- Have traceoff_on_warning disable trace pintk buffer too
Recently recording of trace_printk() could go to other trace
instances instead of the top level instance. But if
traceoff_on_warning triggers, it doesn't stop the buffer with
trace_printk() and that data can easily be lost by being
overwritten. Have traceoff_on_warning also disable the instance
that has trace_printk() being written to it.
- Update the hist_debug file to show what function the field uses
When CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled, a hist_debug file
exists for every event. This displays the internal data of any
histogram enabled for that event. But it is lacking the function
that is called to process one of its fields. This is very useful
information that was missing when debugging histograms.
- Up the histogram stack size from 16 to 31
Stack traces can be used as keys for event histograms. Currently
the size of the stack that is stored is limited to just 16 entries.
But the storage space in the histogram is 256 bytes, meaning that
it can store up to 31 entries (plus one for the count of entries).
Instead of letting that space go to waste, up the limit from 16 to
31. This makes the keys much more useful.
- Fix permissions of per CPU file buffer_size_kb
The per CPU file of buffer_size_kb was incorrectly set to read only
in a previous cleanup. It should be writable.
- Reset "last_boot_info" if the persistent buffer is cleared
The last_boot_info shows address information of a persistent ring
buffer if it contains data from a previous boot. It is cleared when
recording starts again, but it is not cleared when the buffer is
reset. The data is useless after a reset so clear it on reset too.
Internal changes:
- A change was made to allow tracepoint callbacks to have preemption
enabled, and instead be protected by SRCU. This required some
updates to the callbacks for perf and BPF.
perf needed to disable preemption directly in its callback because
it expects preemption disabled in the later code.
BPF needed to disable migration, as its code expects to run
completely on the same CPU.
- Have irq_work wake up other CPU if current CPU is "isolated"
When there's a waiter waiting on ring buffer data and a new event
happens, an irq work is triggered to wake up that waiter. This is
noisy on isolated CPUs (running NO_HZ_FULL). Trigger an IPI to a
house keeping CPU instead.
- Use proper free of trigger_data instead of open coding it in.
- Remove redundant call of event_trigger_reset_filter()
It was called immediately in a function that was called right after
it.
- Workqueue cleanups
- Report errors if tracing_update_buffers() were to fail.
- Make the enum update workqueue generic for other parts of tracing
On boot up, a work queue is created to convert enum names into
their numbers in the trace event format files. This work queue can
also be used for other aspects of tracing that takes some time and
shouldn't be called by the init call code.
The blk_trace initialization takes a bit of time. Have the
initialization code moved to the new tracing generic work queue
function.
- Skip kprobe boot event creation call if there's no kprobes defined
on cmdline
The kprobe initialization to set up kprobes if they are defined on
the cmdline requires taking the event_mutex lock. This can be held
by other tracing code doing initialization for a long time. Since
kprobes added to the kernel command line need to be setup
immediately, as they may be tracing early initialization code, they
cannot be postponed in a work queue and must be setup in the
initcall code.
If there's no kprobe on the kernel cmdline, there's no reason to
take the mutex and slow down the boot up code waiting to get the
lock only to find out there's nothing to do. Simply exit out early
if there's no kprobes on the kernel cmdline.
If there are kprobes on the cmdline, then someone cares more about
tracing over the speed of boot up.
- Clean up the trigger code a bit
- Move code out of trace.c and into their own files
trace.c is now over 11,000 lines of code and has become more
difficult to maintain. Start splitting it up so that related code
is in their own files.
Move all the trace_printk() related code into trace_printk.c.
Move the __always_inline stack functions into trace.h.
Move the pid filtering code into a new trace_pid.c file.
- Better define the max latency and snapshot code
The latency tracers have a "max latency" buffer that is a copy of
the main buffer and gets swapped with it when a new high latency is
detected. This keeps the trace up to the highest latency around
where this max_latency buffer is never written to. It is only used
to save the last max latency trace.
A while ago a snapshot feature was added to tracefs to allow user
space to perform the same logic. It could also enable events to
trigger a "snapshot" if one of their fields hit a new high. This
was built on top of the latency max_latency buffer logic.
Because snapshots came later, they were dependent on the latency
tracers to be enabled. In reality, the latency tracers depend on
the snapshot code and not the other way around. It was just that
they came first.
Restructure the code and the kconfigs to have the latency tracers
depend on snapshot code instead. This actually simplifies the logic
a bit and allows to disable more when the latency tracers are not
defined and the snapshot code is.
- Fix a "false sharing" in the hwlat tracer code
The loop to search for latency in hardware was using a variable
that could be changed by user space for each sample. If the user
change this variable, it could cause a bus contention, and reading
that variable can show up as a large latency in the trace causing a
false positive. Read this variable at the start of the sample with
a READ_ONCE() into a local variable and keep the code from sharing
cache lines with readers.
- Fix function graph tracer static branch optimization code
When only one tracer is defined for function graph tracing, it uses
a static branch to call that tracer directly. When another tracer
is added, it goes into loop logic to call all the registered
callbacks.
The code was incorrect when going back to one tracer and never
re-enabled the static branch again to do the optimization code.
- And other small fixes and cleanups"
