Tiezhu Yang f76fbbbb50 samples/kretprobes: Fix return value if register_kretprobe() failed
Use the actual return value instead of always -1 if register_kretprobe()
failed.

E.g. without this patch:

 # insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func
 insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Operation not permitted

With this patch:

 # insmod samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko func=no_such_func
 insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.ko: Unknown symbol in module

Masami Hiramatsu 1f6d3a8f5e kprobes: Add a test case for stacktrace from kretprobe handler
Add a test case for stacktrace from kretprobe handler and
nested kretprobe handlers.

This test checks both of stack trace inside kretprobe handler
and stack trace from pt_regs. Those stack trace must include
actual function return address instead of kretprobe trampoline.
The nested kretprobe stacktrace test checks whether the unwinder
can correctly unwind the call frame on the stack which has been
modified by the kretprobe.

Since the stacktrace on kretprobe is correctly fixed only on x86,
this introduces a meta kconfig ARCH_CORRECT_STACKTRACE_ON_KRETPROBE
which tells user that the stacktrace on kretprobe is correct or not.

The test results will be shown like below;

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 17b251a290 ftrace/sh: Add arch_ftrace_ops_list_func stub to have compressed image still link
Using the linker script to fix an issue where some archs call the
function tracer with just the ip (instruction pointer) and pip (parent
instruction pointer) where as more up to date archs also pass in the
associated ftrace_ops and the ftrace_regs pointer, the generic code
will be called either with two parameters or four. To avoid any C
undefined behavior of calling two parameters to four or four to two
parameter function, two functions are created, where a preprocessor
macro uses the one that matches the architecture. As the function
pointers for them may be different, a typecast is used. But this
triggers issues with newer compilers that will fail due to -Werror.

A linker trick is now used to map the generic function to the function
that is used (note the generic function is only used to set the default
function callback). The linker trick defines ftrace_ops_list_func (the
generic function) to arch_ftrace_ops_list_func (the arch defined one).

Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20200617165616.52241bde@oasis.local.home/

But this fails sh arch because their linker script is included in their
compressed image that does not define arch_ftrace_ops_list_func at all

  sh4-linux-ld:arch/sh/boot/compressed/../../kernel/vmlinux.lds:32: undefined symbol `arch_ftrace_ops_list_func' referenced in expression

Included a stub by that name in the misc.c to allow the code to
compile and link, even though it's not used.

This is similar to what was done for ftrace_stub:

  ftrace_graph_return using ftrace_stub")

queue_full_warning is a pointer, so it is wrong to use sizeof to calculate

The correct way is to use strlen(). We don't need to add 1 to the strlen()

Masami Hiramatsu fed240d9c9 ARM: Recover kretprobe modified return address in stacktrace
Since the kretprobe replaces the function return address with
the kretprobe_trampoline on the stack, arm unwinder shows it
instead of the correct return address.

This finds the correct return address from the per-task
kretprobe_instances list and verify it is in between the
caller fp and callee fp.

Note that this supports both GCC and clang if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y
and CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND=n. For the ARM unwinder, this is still
not working correctly.

Masami Hiramatsu 7e9bf33b81 ARM: kprobes: Make a frame pointer on __kretprobe_trampoline
Currently kretprobe on ARM just fills r0-r11 of pt_regs, but
that is not enough for the stacktrace. Moreover, from the user
kretprobe handler, stacktrace needs a frame pointer on the
__kretprobe_trampoline.

This adds a frame pointer on __kretprobe_trampoline for both gcc
and clang case. Those have different frame pointer so we need
different but similar stack on pt_regs.

Gcc makes the frame pointer (fp) to point the 'pc' address of
the {fp, ip (=sp), lr, pc}, this means {r11, r13, r14, r15}.
Thus if we save the r11 (fp) on pt_regs->r12, we can make this
set on the end of pt_regs.

On the other hand, Clang makes the frame pointer to point the
'fp' address of {fp, lr} on stack. Since the next to the
pt_regs->lr is pt_regs->sp, I reused the pair of pt_regs->fp
and pt_regs->ip.
So this stores the 'lr' on pt_regs->ip and make the fp to point
pt_regs->fp.

For both cases, saves __kretprobe_trampoline address to
pt_regs->lr, so that the stack tracer can identify this frame
pointer has been made by the __kretprobe_trampoline.

Note that if the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set, this keeps
fp as is.

Masami Hiramatsu b3ea5d56f2 ARM: clang: Do not rely on lr register for stacktrace
Currently the stacktrace on clang compiled arm kernel uses the 'lr'
register to find the first frame address from pt_regs. However, that
is wrong after calling another function, because the 'lr' register
is used by 'bl' instruction and never be recovered.

As same as gcc arm kernel, directly use the frame pointer (r11) of
the pt_regs to find the first frame address.

Note that this fixes kretprobe stacktrace issue only with
CONFIG_UNWINDER_FRAME_POINTER=y. For the CONFIG_UNWINDER_ARM,
we need another fix.

This checks whether the next return address is the

Arnd Bergmann 8720aeecc2 tracing: use %ps format string to print symbols
clang started warning about excessive stack usage in
hist_trigger_print_key()

kernel/trace/trace_events_hist.c:4723:13: error: stack frame size (1336) exceeds limit (1024) in function 'hist_trigger_print_key' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]

The problem is that there are two 512-byte arrays on the stack if
hist_trigger_stacktrace_print() gets inlined. I don't think this has
changed in the past five years, but something probably changed the
inlining decisions made by the compiler, so the problem is now made
more obvious.

Rather than printing the symbol names into separate buffers, it
seems we can simply use the special %ps format string modifier
to print the pointers symbolically and get rid of both buffers.

Marking hist_trigger_stacktrace_print() would be a simpler
way of avoiding the warning, but that would not address the
excessive stack usage.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) ed29271894 ftrace/direct: Do not disable when switching direct callers
Currently to switch a set of "multi" direct trampolines from one
trampoline to another, a full shutdown of the current set needs to be
done, followed by an update to what trampoline the direct callers would
call, and then re-enabling the callers. This leaves a time when the
functions will not be calling anything, and events may be missed.

Instead, use a trick to allow all the functions with direct trampolines
attached will always call either the new or old trampoline while the
switch is happening. To do this, first attach a "dummy" callback via
ftrace to all the functions that the current direct trampoline is attached
to. This will cause the functions to call the "list func" instead of the
direct trampoline. The list function will call the direct trampoline
"helper" that will set the function it should call as it returns back to
the ftrace trampoline.

At this moment, the direct caller descriptor can safely update the direct
call trampoline. The list function will pick either the new or old
function (depending on the memory coherency model of the architecture).

Now removing the dummy function from each of the locations of the direct
trampoline caller, will put back the direct call, but now to the new
trampoline.

A better visual is:

[ Changing direct call from my_direct_1 to my_direct_2 ]

  <traced_func>:
     call my_direct_1

 ||||||||||||||||||||
 vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

  <traced_func>:
     call ftrace_caller

  <ftrace_caller>:
    [..]
    call ftrace_ops_list_func

	ftrace_ops_list_func()
	{
		ops->func() -> direct_helper -> set rax to my_direct_1 or my_direct_2
	}

   call rax (to either my_direct_1 or my_direct_2

 ||||||||||||||||||||
 vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

  <traced_func>:
     call my_direct_2
