From 38b14061947fa546491656e3f5e388d4fedf8dba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2025 15:20:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/7] ftrace: Fix accounting of adding subops to a manager ops Function graph uses a subops and manager ops mechanism to attach to ftrace. The manager ops connects to ftrace and the functions it connects to is defined by a list of subops that it manages. The function hash that defines what the above ops attaches to limits the functions to attach if the hash has any content. If the hash is empty, it means to trace all functions. The creation of the manager ops hash is done by iterating over all the subops hashes. If any of the subops hashes is empty, it means that the manager ops hash must trace all functions as well. The issue is in the creation of the manager ops. When a second subops is attached, a new hash is created by starting it as NULL and adding the subops one at a time. But the NULL ops is mistaken as an empty hash, and once an empty hash is found, it stops the loop of subops and just enables all functions. # echo "f:myevent1 kernel_clone" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions kernel_clone (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 # echo "f:myevent2 schedule_timeout" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions trace_initcall_start_cb (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 run_init_process (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 try_to_run_init_process (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 x86_pmu_show_pmu_cap (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 cleanup_rapl_pmus (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 uncore_free_pcibus_map (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 uncore_types_exit (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 uncore_pci_exit.part.0 (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 kvm_shutdown (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 vmx_dump_msrs (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 vmx_cleanup_l1d_flush (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0309000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 [..] Fix this by initializing the new hash to NULL and if the hash is NULL do not treat it as an empty hash but instead allocate by copying the content of the first sub ops. Then on subsequent iterations, the new hash will not be NULL, but the content of the previous subops. If that first subops attached to all functions, then new hash may assume that the manager ops also needs to attach to all functions.

The content of the enabled_functions shows the functions that have a callback attached to them. The fprobe attached to those functions properly. Then the fprobes were cleared, and enabled_functions was empty after that. But after adding a fprobe on kmem_cache_free, the enabled_functions shows that the schedule_timeout was attached again. This is because it was still left in the fprobe ops that is used to tell function graph what functions it wants callbacks from.

The fprobe_graph_active variable keeps track of the number of fprobes that are using function graph. If two fprobes attach to the same function, it increments the fprobe_graph_active for each of them. But when they are removed, the first fprobe to be removed will see that the function it is attached to is also used by another fprobe and it will not remove that function from function_graph. The logic will skip decrementing the fprobe_graph_active variable. This causes the fprobe_graph_active variable to not go to zero when all fprobes are removed, and in doing so it does not unregister from function graph. As the fgraph ops hash will now be empty, and an empty filter hash means all functions are enabled, this triggers function graph to add a callback to the fprobe infrastructure for every function! # echo "f:myevent1 kernel_clone" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # echo "f:myevent2 kernel_clone%return" >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions kernel_clone (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0024000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60 # > /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions trace_initcall_start_cb (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 run_init_process (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 try_to_run_init_process (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 x86_pmu_show_pmu_cap (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 cleanup_rapl_pmus (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 uncore_free_pcibus_map (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 uncore_types_exit (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 uncore_pci_exit.part.0 (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 kvm_shutdown (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 vmx_dump_msrs (1) tramp: 0xffffffffc0026000 (function_trace_call+0x0/0x170) ->function_trace_call+0x0/0x170 [..] # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/enabled_functions | wc -l 54702 If a fprobe is being removed and all its functions are also traced by other fprobes, still decrement the fprobe_graph_active counter.
