From: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoim...@kernel.org> Introduce a generic API for unwinding user stacks.
In order to expand user space unwinding to be able to handle more complex scenarios, such as deferred unwinding and reading user space information, create a generic interface that all architectures can use that support the various unwinding methods. This is an alternative method for handling user space stack traces from the simple stack_trace_save_user() API. This does not replace that interface, but this interface will be used to expand the functionality of user space stack walking. None of the structures introduced will be exposed to user space tooling.

There's no reason that they need to be used by other files. - Move for_each_user_frame() macro into user.c - Remove extra parenthesis around start in for_each_user_frame() macro (Mathieu Desnoyers) MAINTAINERS | 8 +++++ arch/Kconfig | 3 ++ include/linux/unwind_user.h | 9 +++++ include/linux/unwind_user_types.h | 31 +++++++++++++++++ kernel/Makefile | 1 + kernel/unwind/Makefile | 1 + kernel/unwind/user.c | 58 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 7 files changed, 111 insertions(+) create mode 100644 include/linux/unwind_user.h create mode 100644 include/linux/unwind_user_types.h create mode 100644 kernel/unwind/Makefile create mode 100644 kernel/unwind/user.c diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS index fad6cb025a19..370d780fd5f8 100644 --- a/MAINTAINERS +++ b/MAINTAINERS @@ -25928,6 +25928,14 @@ F: Documentation/driver-api/uio-howto.rst F: drivers/uio/ F: include/linux/uio_driver.h +USERSPACE STACK UNWINDING +M: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoim...@kernel.org> +M: Steven Rostedt <rost...@goodmis.org> +S: Maintained +F: include/linux/unwind*.h +F: kernel/unwind/ + + UTIL-LINUX PACKAGE M: Karel Zak <k...@redhat.com> L: util-li...@vger.kernel.org diff --git a/arch/Kconfig b/arch/Kconfig index a3308a220f86..ea59e5d7cc69 100644 --- a/arch/Kconfig +++ b/arch/Kconfig @@ -435,6 +435,9 @@ config HAVE_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR_ARCH It uses the same command line parameters, and sysctl interface, as the generic hardlockup detectors. +config UNWIND_USER + bool + config HAVE_PERF_REGS bool help diff --git a/include/linux/unwind_user.h b/include/linux/unwind_user.h new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..1d77bed8de2c --- /dev/null +++ b/include/linux/unwind_user.h @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */ +#ifndef _LINUX_UNWIND_USER_H +#define _LINUX_UNWIND_USER_H + +#include <linux/unwind_user_types.h> + +int unwind_user(struct unwind_stacktrace *trace, unsigned int max_entries); + +#endif /* _LINUX_UNWIND_USER_H */ diff --git a/include/linux/unwind_user_types.h b/include/linux/unwind_user_types.h new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..6ed1b4ae74e1 --- /dev/null +++ b/include/linux/unwind_user_types.h @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ +/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */ +#ifndef _LINUX_UNWIND_USER_TYPES_H +#define _LINUX_UNWIND_USER_TYPES_H + +#include <linux/types.h> + +enum unwind_user_type { + UNWIND_USER_TYPE_NONE, +}; + +struct unwind_stacktrace { + unsigned int nr; + unsigned long *entries; +}; + +struct unwind_user_frame { + s32 cfa_off; + s32 ra_off; + s32 fp_off; + bool use_fp; +}; + +struct unwind_user_state { + unsigned long ip; + unsigned long sp; + unsigned long fp; + enum unwind_user_type type; + bool done; +}; + +#endif /* _LINUX_UNWIND_USER_TYPES_H */ diff --git a/kernel/Makefile b/kernel/Makefile index 32e80dd626af..541186050251 100644 --- a/kernel/Makefile +++ b/kernel/Makefile @@ -55,6 +55,7 @@ obj-y += rcu/ obj-y += livepatch/ obj-y += dma/ obj-y += entry/ +obj-y += unwind/ obj-$(CONFIG_MODULES) += module/ obj-$(CONFIG_KCMP) += kcmp.o diff --git a/kernel/unwind/Makefile b/kernel/unwind/Makefile new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..349ce3677526 --- /dev/null +++ b/kernel/unwind/Makefile @@ -0,0 +1 @@ + obj-$(CONFIG_UNWIND_USER) += user.o diff --git a/kernel/unwind/user.c b/kernel/unwind/user.c new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..d0cf3ee2706d --- /dev/null +++ b/kernel/unwind/user.c @@ -0,0 +1,58 @@ +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 +/* +* Generic interfaces for unwinding user space +*/ +#include <linux/kernel.h> +#include <linux/sched.h> +#include <linux/sched/task_stack.h> +#include <linux/unwind_user.h> + +#define for_each_user_frame(state) \ + for (unwind_user_start(state); !(state)->done; unwind_user_next(state)) + +static int unwind_user_next(struct unwind_user_state *state) +{ + /* no implementation yet */ + return -EINVAL; +} + +static int unwind_user_start(struct unwind_user_state *state) +{ + struct pt_regs *regs = task_pt_regs(current); + + memset(state, 0, sizeof(*state)); + + if ((current->flags & PF_KTHREAD) || !user_mode(regs)) { + state->done = true; + return -EINVAL; + } + + state->type = UNWIND_USER_TYPE_NONE; + + state->ip = instruction_pointer(regs); + state->sp = user_stack_pointer(regs); + state->fp = frame_pointer(regs); + + return 0; +} + +int unwind_user(struct unwind_stacktrace *trace, unsigned int max_entries) +{ + struct unwind_user_state state; + + trace->nr = 0; + + if (!max_entries) + return -EINVAL; + + if (current->flags & PF_KTHREAD) + return 0; + + for_each_user_frame(&state) { + trace->entries[trace->nr++] = state.ip; + if (trace->nr >= max_entries) + break; + } + + return 0; +} -- 2.47.2
