Hi, Here is the 5th version of the series to re-implement the fprobe on function-graph tracer. The previous version is;
https://lore.kernel.org/all/170203105427.579004.8033550792660734570.stgit@devnote2/ This version fixes a bug of simple LRU [12/34] which caused some bug reports and add a testcase to avoid regression [33/34]. Overview -------- This series does major 2 changes, enable multiple function-graphs on the ftrace (e.g. allow function-graph on sub instances) and rewrite the fprobe on this function-graph. The former changes had been sent from Steven Rostedt 4 years ago (*), which allows users to set different setting function-graph tracer (and other tracers based on function-graph) in each trace-instances at the same time. (*) https://lore.kernel.org/all/20190525031633.811342...@goodmis.org/ The purpose of latter change are; 1) Remove dependency of the rethook from fprobe so that we can reduce the return hook code and shadow stack. 2) Make 'ftrace_regs' the common trace interface for the function boundary. 1) Currently we have 2(or 3) different function return hook codes, the function-graph tracer and rethook (and legacy kretprobe). But since this is redundant and needs double maintenance cost, I would like to unify those. From the user's viewpoint, function- graph tracer is very useful to grasp the execution path. For this purpose, it is hard to use the rethook in the function-graph tracer, but the opposite is possible. (Strictly speaking, kretprobe can not use it because it requires 'pt_regs' for historical reasons.) 2) Now the fprobe provides the 'pt_regs' for its handler, but that is wrong for the function entry and exit. Moreover, depending on the architecture, there is no way to accurately reproduce 'pt_regs' outside of interrupt or exception handlers. This means fprobe should not use 'pt_regs' because it does not use such exceptions. (Conversely, kprobe should use 'pt_regs' because it is an abstract interface of the software breakpoint exception.) This series changes fprobe to use function-graph tracer for tracing function entry and exit, instead of mixture of ftrace and rethook. Unlike the rethook which is a per-task list of system-wide allocated nodes, the function graph's ret_stack is a per-task shadow stack. Thus it does not need to set 'nr_maxactive' (which is the number of pre-allocated nodes). Also the handlers will get the 'ftrace_regs' instead of 'pt_regs'. Since eBPF mulit_kprobe/multi_kretprobe events still use 'pt_regs' as their register interface, this changes it to convert 'ftrace_regs' to 'pt_regs'. Of course this conversion makes an incomplete 'pt_regs', so users must access only registers for function parameters or return value. Design ------ Instead of using ftrace's function entry hook directly, the new fprobe is built on top of the function-graph's entry and return callbacks with 'ftrace_regs'. Since the fprobe requires access to 'ftrace_regs', the architecture must support CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, which enables to call function-graph entry callback with 'ftrace_regs', and also CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS, which passes the ftrace_regs to return_to_handler. All fprobes share a single function-graph ops (means shares a common ftrace filter) similar to the kprobe-on-ftrace. This needs another layer to find corresponding fprobe in the common function-graph callbacks, but has much better scalability, since the number of registered function-graph ops is limited. In the entry callback, the fprobe runs its entry_handler and saves the address of 'fprobe' on the function-graph's shadow stack as data. The return callback decodes the data to get the 'fprobe' address, and runs the exit_handler. The fprobe introduces two hash-tables, one is for entry callback which searches fprobes related to the given function address passed by entry callback. The other is for a return callback which checks if the given 'fprobe' data structure pointer is still valid. Note that it is possible to unregister fprobe before the return callback runs. Thus the address validation must be done before using it in the return callback. Series ------ - Patch [1/34] and [2/34] are adding a comment for ftrace_regs. - Patch [3/34] to [18/34] are the multiple function-graph support. - Patch [19/34] and [20/34] adds new function-graph callbacks with ftrace_regs and x86-64 implementation. - Patch [21/34] to [27/34] are preparation (adding util functions) of the new fprobe and its user. - Patch [28/34] to [32/34] rewrites fprobes and updates its users. - Patch [33/34] adds new testcase of fprobe register/unregsiter repeatedly. - Patch [34/34] is a documentation update. This series can be applied against the trace-v6.7-rc4 on linux-trace tree.
