We have been trying to use rasdaemon to monitor hardware errors like
correctable memory errors. rasdaemon uses trace events to monitor
various hardware errors. In order to test it, we have to inject some
hardware errors, unfortunately not all of them provide error
injections. MCE does provide a way to inject MCE errors, but errors
like PCI error and devlink error don't, it is not easy to add error
injection to each of them. Instead, it is relatively easier to just
allow users to inject trace events in a generic way so that all trace
events can be injected.
This patch introduces trace event injection, where a new 'inject' is
added to each tracepoint directory. Users could write into this file
with key=value pairs to specify the value of each fields of the trace
event, all unspecified fields are set to zero values by default.
For example, for the net/net_dev_queue tracepoint, we can inject:
INJECT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/inject
echo "" > $INJECT
echo "name='test'" > $INJECT
echo "name='test' len=1024" > $INJECT
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
...
<...>-614 [000] .... 36.571483: net_dev_queue: dev= skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=0

<...>-614 [001] .N.. 208.431878: net_dev_queue: dev=test skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=1024
Triggers could be triggered as usual too:
echo "stacktrace if len == 1025" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/trigger
echo "len=1025" > $INJECT
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

=> event_inject_write
=> vfs_write

=> do_syscall_64

The only thing that can't be injected is string pointers as they
require constant string pointers, this can't be done at run time.

Currently, a lot of memory is wasted for architectures like MIPS when
init_ftrace_syscalls() allocates the array for syscalls using kcalloc.
This is because syscalls numbers start from 4000, 5000 or 6000 and
array elements up to that point are unused.
Fix this by using a data structure more suited to storing sparsely
populated arrays. The XARRAY data structure, implemented using radix
trees, is much more memory efficient for storing the syscalls in
question.

The ftrace_graph_stub was created and points to ftrace_stub as a way to
assign the functon graph tracer function pointer to a stub function with a
different prototype than what ftrace_stub has and not trigger the C
verifier. The ftrace_graph_stub was created via the linker script
vmlinux.lds.h. Unfortunately, powerpc already uses the name
ftrace_graph_stub for its internal implementation of the function graph
tracer, and even though powerpc would still build, the change via the linker
script broke function tracer on powerpc from working.
By using the name ftrace_stub_graph, which does not exist anywhere else in
the kernel, this should not be a problem.

If a direct ftrace callback is at a location that does not have any other
ftrace helpers attached to it, it is possible to simply just change the
text to call the new caller (if the architecture supports it). But this
requires special architecture code. Currently, modify_ftrace_direct() uses a
trick to add a stub ftrace callback to the location forcing it to call the
ftrace iterator. Then it can change the direct helper to call the new
function in C, and then remove the stub. Removing the stub will have the
location now call the new location that the direct helper is using.
The new helper function does the registering the stub trick, but is a weak
function, allowing an architecture to override it to do something a bit more
direct.

The C compiler is allowing more checks to make sure that function pointers
are assigned to the correct prototype function. Unfortunately, the function
graph tracer uses a special name with its assigned ftrace_graph_return
function pointer that maps to a stub function used by the function tracer
(ftrace_stub). The ftrace_graph_return variable is compared to the
ftrace_stub in some archs to know if the function graph tracer is enabled or
not. This means we can not just simply create a new function stub that
compares it without modifying all the archs.
Instead, have the linker script create a function_graph_stub that maps to
ftrace_stub, and this way we can define the prototype for it to match the
prototype of ftrace_graph_return, and make the compiler checks all happy!

This burst feature enables the user to generate a burst of
preempt/irqsoff latencies. This makes it possible to test whether we
are able to detect latencies that systematically occur very close to
each other.
The maximum burst size is 10. We also create 10 identical test
functions, so that we get 10 different backtraces; this is useful
when we want to test whether we can detect all the latencies in a
burst. Otherwise, there would be no easy way of differentiating
between which latency in a burst was captured by the tracer.
In addition, there is a sysfs trigger, so that it's not necessary to
reload the module to repeat the test. The trigger will appear as
/sys/kernel/preemptirq_delay_test/trigger in sysfs.

This patch implements the feature that the tracing_max_latency file,
e.g. /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency will receive
notifications through the fsnotify framework when a new latency is
available.
One particularly interesting use of this facility is when enabling
threshold tracing, through /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_thresh,
together with the preempt/irqsoff tracers. This makes it possible to
implement a user space program that can, with equal probability,
obtain traces of latencies that occur immediately after each other in
spite of the fact that the preempt/irqsoff tracers operate in overwrite
mode.
This facility works with the hwlat, preempt/irqsoff, and wakeup
tracers.
The tracers may call the latency_fsnotify() from places such as
__schedule() or do_idle(); this makes it impossible to call
queue_work() directly without risking a deadlock. The same would
happen with a softirq, kernel thread or tasklet. For this reason we
use the irq_work mechanism to call queue_work().
This patch creates a new workqueue. The reason for doing this is that
I wanted to use the WQ_UNBOUND and WQ_HIGHPRI flags. My thinking was
that WQ_UNBOUND might help with the latency in some important cases.
If we use:
queue_work(system_highpri_wq, &tr->fsnotify_work);
then the work will (almost) always execute on the same CPU but if we are
unlucky that CPU could be too busy while there could be another CPU in
the system that would be able to process the work soon enough.
queue_work_on() could be used to queue the work on another CPU but it
seems difficult to select the right CPU.

Looking for ways to shrink the size of the dyn_ftrace structure, knowing the
information about how many pages and the number of groups of those pages, is
useful in working out the best ways to save on memory.
This adds one info print on how many groups of pages were used to allocate
the ftrace dyn_ftrace structures, and also shows the number of pages and
groups in the dyn_ftrace_total_info (which is used for debugging).

Objtool complains about the new ftrace direct trampoline code:
arch/x86/kernel/ftrace_64.o: warning: objtool: ftrace_regs_caller()+0x190: stack state mismatch: cfa1=7+16 cfa2=7+24
Typically, code has a deterministic stack layout, such that at a given
instruction address, the stack frame size is always the same.
That's not the case for the new ftrace_regs_caller() code after it
adjusts the stack for the direct case. Just plead ignorance and assume
it's always the non-direct path. Note this creates a tiny window for
ORC to get confused.

As testing for direct calls from the function graph tracer adds a little
overhead (which is a lot when tracing every function), add a counter that
can be used to test if function_graph tracer needs to test for a direct
caller or not.
It would have been nicer if we could use a static branch, but the static
branch logic fails when used within the function graph tracer trampoline.

may be called directly from an ftrace mcount/fentry location.

The register_ftrace_direct() takes a different path if there's already a
direct call registered, but this was not tested in the self tests. Now that
there's a second direct caller test module, we can use this to test not only
one direct caller, but two.

Add another module sample that registers a direct trampoline to a function
via register_ftrace_direct(). Having another module that does this allows to
test the use case of multiple direct callers registered, as more than one
direct caller goes into another path, and is needed to perform proper
testing of the register_ftrace_direct() call.

Add two test cases that test the new ftrace direct functionality if the
ftrace-direct sample module is available. One test case tests against each
available tracer (function, function_graph, mmiotrace, etc), and the other
test tests against a kprobe at the same location as the direct caller. Both
tests follow the same pattern of testing combinations:
enable test (either the tracer or the kprobe)
load direct function module
unload direct function module
disable test
enable test
load direct function module
disable test
unload direct function module
load direct function module
enable test
disable test
unload direct function module
load direct function module
enable test
unload direct function module
disable test
As most the bugs in development happened with various ways of enabling or
disabling the direct calls with function tracer in one of these
combinations.

As function_graph tracer modifies the return address to insert a trampoline
to trace the return of a function, it must be aware of a direct caller, as
when it gets called, the function's return address may not be at on the
stack where it expects. It may have to see if that return address points to
the a direct caller and adjust if it is.

Add the start of the functionality to allow other trampolines to use the
ftrace mcount/fentry/nop location. This adds two new functions:
register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct()
Both take two parameters: the first is the instruction address of where the
mcount/fentry/nop exists, and the second is the trampoline to have that
location called.
This will handle cases where ftrace is already used on that same location,
and will make it still work, where the registered direct called trampoline
will get called after all the registered ftrace callers are handled.
Currently, it will not allow for IP_MODIFY functions to be called at the
same locations, which include some kprobes and live kernel patching.
At this point, no architecture supports this. This is only the start of
implementing the framework.

Create a new function called lookup_rec() from the functionality of
ftrace_location_range(). The difference between lookup_rec() is that it
returns the record that it finds, where as ftrace_location_range() returns
only if it found a match or not.
The lookup_rec() is static, and can be used for new functionality where
ftrace needs to find a record of a specific address.

Most of the functionality of __ftrace_hash_move() can be reused, but not all
of it. That is, __ftrace_hash_move() is used to simply make a new hash from
an existing one, using the same size as the original. Creating a dup_hash(),
where we can specify a new size will be useful when we want to create a hash
with a default size, or simply copy the old one.
