tracing: Do not reference char * as a string in histograms

2021-07-20T14:00:09+00:00

commit 704adfb5a9978462cd861f170201ae2b5e3d3a80 upstream.

The histogram logic was allowing events with char * pointers to be used as
normal strings. But it was easy to crash the kernel with:

 # echo 'hist:keys=filename' > events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/trigger

And open some files, and boom!

Where it triggered a fault on strlen(key) where key was the filename.

The reason is that filename is a char * to user space, and the histogram
code just blindly dereferenced it, with obvious bad results.

I originally tried to use strncpy_from_user/kernel_nofault() but found
that there's other places that its dereferenced and not worth the effort.

Just do not allow "char *" to act like strings.

tracing/histograms: Fix parsing of "sym-offset" modifier

2021-07-14T15:06:16+00:00

commit 26c563731056c3ee66f91106c3078a8c36bb7a9e upstream.

With the addition of simple mathematical operations (plus and minus), the
parsing of the "sym-offset" modifier broke, as it took the '-' part of the
"sym-offset" as a minus, and tried to break it up into a mathematical
operation of "field.sym - offset", in which case it failed to parse
(unless the event had a field called "offset").

Both .sym and .sym-offset modifiers should not be entered into
mathematical calculations anyway. If ".sym-offset" is found in the
modifier, then simply make it not an operation that can be calculated on.

tracing: Use a no_filter_buffering_ref to stop using the filter buffer

2021-03-18T16:58:26+00:00

Currently, the trace histograms relies on it using absolute time stamps to
trigger the tracing to not use the temp buffer if filters are set. That's
because the histograms need the full timestamp that is saved in the ring
buffer. That is no longer the case, as the ring_buffer_event_time_stamp()
can now return the time stamp for all events without all triggering a full
absolute time stamp.

Now that the absolute time stamp is an unrelated dependency to not using
the filters. There's nothing about having absolute timestamps to keep from
using the filter buffer. Instead, change the interface to explicitly state
to disable filter buffering that the histogram logic can use.

ring-buffer: Allow ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() to return time stamp of all events

2021-03-18T16:58:26+00:00

Currently, ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() only returns an accurate time
stamp of the event if it has an absolute extended time stamp attached to
it. To make it more robust, use the event_stamp() in case the event does
not have an absolute value attached to it.

This will allow ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() to be used in more cases
than just histograms, and it will also allow histograms to not require
including absolute values all the time.

tracing: Pass buffer of event to trigger operations

2021-03-18T16:58:26+00:00

The ring_buffer_event_time_stamp() is going to be updated to extract the
time stamp for the event without needing it to be set to have absolute
values for all events. But to do so, it needs the buffer that the event is
on as the buffer saves information for the event before it is committed to
the buffer.

If the trace buffer is disabled, a temporary buffer is used, and there's
no access to this buffer from the current histogram triggers, even though
it is passed to the trace event code.

Pass the buffer that the event is on all the way down to the histogram
triggers.

tracing: Add support for dynamic strings to synthetic events

2020-10-05T23:32:18+00:00

Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as:

  # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event.

It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing
trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to
synthetic events via the trace() action.

With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined:

  # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either
dynamic or static strings:

  # echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events

The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as
the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file.

[ : added __set_synth_event_print_fmt() changes:

  I added the following to make it work with trace-cmd. Dynamic strings
  must have __get_str() for events in the print_fmt otherwise it can't be
  parsed correctly. ]

tracing: Save normal string variables

2020-10-05T22:13:53+00:00

String variables created as field variables and save variables are
already handled properly by having their values copied when set.  The
same isn't done for normal variables, but needs to be - simply saving
a pointer to a string contained in an old event isn't sufficient,
since that event's data may quickly become overwritten and therefore a
string pointer to it could yield garbage.

This change uses the same mechanism as field variables and simply
appends the new strings to the existing per-element field_var_str[]
array allocated for that purpose.
