Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu: - kprobes: use struct_size() for variable size kretprobe_instance data structure. - eprobe: Simplify trace_eprobe list iteration. - probe events: Data structure field access support on BTF argument. - Update BTF argument support on the functions in the kernel loadable modules (only loaded modules are supported). - Move generic BTF access function (search function prototype and get function parameters) to a separated file. - Add a function to search a member of data structure in BTF. - Support accessing BTF data structure member from probe args by C-like arrow('->') and dot('.') operators. e.g. 't sched_switch next=next->pid vruntime=next->se.vruntime' - Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g. 'f getname_flags%return +0($retval->name):string' - Add string type checking if BTF type info is available. This will reject if user specify ":string" type for non "char pointer" type. - Automatically assume the fprobe event as a function return event if $retval is used. - selftests/ftrace: Add BTF data field access test cases. - Documentation: Update fprobe event example with BTF data field. * tag 'probes-v6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: Documentation: tracing: Update fprobe event example with BTF field selftests/ftrace: Add BTF fields access testcases tracing/fprobe-event: Assume fprobe is a return event by $retval tracing/probes: Add string type check with BTF tracing/probes: Support BTF field access from $retval tracing/probes: Support BTF based data structure field access tracing/probes: Add a function to search a member of a struct/union tracing/probes: Move finding func-proto API and getting func-param API to trace_btf tracing/probes: Support BTF argument on module functions tracing/eprobe: Iterate trace_eprobe directly kernel: kprobes: Use struct_size()

Recent commits have introduced some coding style issues, fix those up. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230901151039.125186-5-vschneid@redhat.com Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)

tracing/filters: Change parse_pred() cpulist ternary into an if block

2023-09-02T01:27:22Z

Review comments noted that an if block would be clearer than a ternary, so swap it out. No change in behaviour intended Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230901151039.125186-4-vschneid@redhat.com Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Valentin Schneider Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google)

tracing/filters: Fix double-free of struct filter_pred.mask

2023-09-02T01:27:22Z

When a cpulist filter is found to contain a single CPU, that CPU is saved as a scalar and the backing cpumask storage is freed. Also NULL the mask to avoid a double-free once we get down to free_predicate().

tracing/filters: Fix error-handling of cpulist parsing buffer

2023-09-02T01:27:22Z

parse_pred() allocates a string buffer to parse the user-provided cpulist, but doesn't check the allocation result nor does it free the buffer once it is no longer needed. Add an allocation check, and free the buffer as soon as it is no longer needed.

tracing: Zero the pipe cpumask on alloc to avoid spurious -EBUSY

2023-09-02T01:26:07Z

The pipe cpumask used to serialize opens between the main and percpu trace pipes is not zeroed or initialized. This can result in spurious -EBUSY returns if underlying memory is not fully zeroed. This has been observed by immediate failure to read the main trace_pipe file on an otherwise newly booted and idle system: # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe cat: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe: Device or resource busy Zero the allocation of pipe_cpumask to avoid the problem.

ftrace: Use within_module to check rec->ip within specified module.

2023-09-02T01:17:10Z

within_module_core && within_module_init condition is same to within module but it's more readable. Use within_module instead of former condition to check rec->ip within specified module area or not.

Based on above analysis, we can easily reproduce by following testcase: ``` bash #!/bin/bash dmesg -n 7 sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_warn=1 TR=/sys/kernel/tracing echo 7 > ${TR}/buffer_size_kb echo "sched:sched_switch" > ${TR}/set_event while [ true ]; do echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot done & while [ true ]; do echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot done & while [ true ]; do echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot done & ``` To fix it, IIUC, we can use smp_call_function_single() to do the swap on the target cpu where the buffer is located, so that above race would be avoided.
