ring-buffer: Only update pages_touched when a new page is touched

2024-04-17T09:18:22+00:00

commit ffe3986fece696cf65e0ef99e74c75f848be8e30 upstream.

The "buffer_percent" logic that is used by the ring buffer splice code to
only wake up the tasks when there's no data after the buffer is filled to
the percentage of the "buffer_percent" file is dependent on three
variables that determine the amount of data that is in the ring buffer:

 1) pages_read - incremented whenever a new sub-buffer is consumed
 2) pages_lost - incremented every time a writer overwrites a sub-buffer
 3) pages_touched - incremented when a write goes to a new sub-buffer

The percentage is the calculation of:

  (pages_touched - (pages_lost + pages_read)) / nr_pages

Basically, the amount of data is the total number of sub-bufs that have been
touched, minus the number of sub-bufs lost and sub-bufs consumed. This is
divided by the total count to give the buffer percentage. When the
percentage is greater than the value in the "buffer_percent" file, it
wakes up splice readers waiting for that amount.

It was observed that over time, the amount read from the splice was
constantly decreasing the longer the trace was running. That is, if one
asked for 60%, it would read over 60% when it first starts tracing, but
then it would be woken up at under 60% and would slowly decrease the
amount of data read after being woken up, where the amount becomes much
less than the buffer percent.

This was due to an accounting of the pages_touched incrementation. This
value is incremented whenever a writer transfers to a new sub-buffer. But
the place where it was incremented was incorrect. If a writer overflowed
the current sub-buffer it would go to the next one. If it gets preempted
by an interrupt at that time, and the interrupt performs a trace, it too
will end up going to the next sub-buffer. But only one should increment
the counter. Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Change the cmpxchg() that does the real switch of the tail-page into a
try_cmpxchg(), and on success, perform the increment of pages_touched. This
will only increment the counter once for when the writer moves to a new
sub-buffer, and not when there's a race and is incremented for when a
writer and its preempting writer both move to the same new sub-buffer.

ring-buffer: use READ_ONCE() to read cpu_buffer->commit_page in concurrent environment

2024-04-13T11:05:15+00:00

[ Upstream commit f1e30cb6369251c03f63c564006f96a54197dcc4 ]

In function ring_buffer_iter_empty(), cpu_buffer->commit_page is read
while other threads may change it. It may cause the time_stamp that read
in the next line come from a different page. Use READ_ONCE() to avoid
having to reason about compiler optimizations now and in future.

tracing: Use .flush() call to wake up readers

2024-04-03T13:19:40+00:00

commit e5d7c1916562f0e856eb3d6f569629fcd535fed2 upstream.

The .release() function does not get called until all readers of a file
descriptor are finished.

If a thread is blocked on reading a file descriptor in ring_buffer_wait(),
and another thread closes the file descriptor, it will not wake up the
other thread as ring_buffer_wake_waiters() is called by .release(), and
that will not get called until the .read() is finished.

The issue originally showed up in trace-cmd, but the readers are actually
other processes with their own file descriptors. So calling close() would wake
up the other tasks because they are blocked on another descriptor then the
one that was closed(). But there's other wake ups that solve that issue.

When a thread is blocked on a read, it can still hang even when another
thread closed its descriptor.

This is what the .flush() callback is for. Have the .flush() wake up the
readers.

ring-buffer: Use wait_event_interruptible() in ring_buffer_wait()

2024-04-03T13:19:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 7af9ded0c2caac0a95f33df5cb04706b0f502588 ]

Convert ring_buffer_wait() over to wait_event_interruptible(). The default
condition is to execute the wait loop inside __wait_event() just once.

This does not change the ring_buffer_wait() prototype yet, but
restructures the code so that it can take a "cond" and "data" parameter
and will call wait_event_interruptible() with a helper function as the
condition.

The helper function (rb_wait_cond) takes the cond function and data
parameters. It will first check if the buffer hit the watermark defined by
the "full" parameter and then call the passed in condition parameter. If
either are true, it returns true.

If rb_wait_cond() does not return true, it will set the appropriate
"waiters_pending" flag and returns false.

ring-buffer: Fix full_waiters_pending in poll

2024-04-03T13:19:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 8145f1c35fa648da662078efab299c4467b85ad5 ]

If a reader of the ring buffer is doing a poll, and waiting for the ring
buffer to hit a specific watermark, there could be a case where it gets
into an infinite ping-pong loop.

The poll code has:

  rbwork->full_waiters_pending = true;
  if (!cpu_buffer->shortest_full ||
      cpu_buffer->shortest_full > full)
         cpu_buffer->shortest_full = full;

The writer will see full_waiters_pending and check if the ring buffer is
filled over the percentage of the shortest_full value. If it is, it calls
an irq_work to wake up all the waiters.

But the code could get into a circular loop:

	CPU 0					CPU 1
	-----					-----
 [ Poll ]
   [ shortest_full = 0 ]
   rbwork->full_waiters_pending = true;
					  if (rbwork->full_waiters_pending &&
					      [ buffer percent ] > shortest_full) {
					         rbwork->wakeup_full = true;
					         [ queue_irqwork ]

   cpu_buffer->shortest_full = full;

					  [ IRQ work ]
					  if (rbwork->wakeup_full) {
					        cpu_buffer->shortest_full = 0;
					        wakeup poll waiters;
  [woken]
   if ([ buffer percent ] > full)
      break;
   rbwork->full_waiters_pending = true;
					  if (rbwork->full_waiters_pending &&
					      [ buffer percent ] > shortest_full) {
					         rbwork->wakeup_full = true;
					         [ queue_irqwork ]

   cpu_buffer->shortest_full = full;

					  [ IRQ work ]
					  if (rbwork->wakeup_full) {
					        cpu_buffer->shortest_full = 0;
					        wakeup poll waiters;
  [woken]

 [ Wash, rinse, repeat! ]

In the poll, the shortest_full needs to be set before the
full_pending_waiters, as once that is set, the writer will compare the
current shortest_full (which is incorrect) to decide to call the irq_work,
which will reset the shortest_full (expecting the readers to update it).

Also move the setting of full_waiters_pending after the check if the ring
buffer has the required percentage filled. There's no reason to tell the
writer to wake up waiters if there are no waiters.

ring-buffer: Fix resetting of shortest_full

2024-04-03T13:19:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 68282dd930ea38b068ce2c109d12405f40df3f93 ]

The "shortest_full" variable is used to keep track of the waiter that is
waiting for the smallest amount on the ring buffer before being woken up.
When a tasks waits on the ring buffer, it passes in a "full" value that is
a percentage. 0 means wake up on any data. 1-100 means wake up from 1% to
100% full buffer.

As all waiters are on the same wait queue, the wake up happens for the
waiter with the smallest percentage.

The problem is that the smallest_full on the cpu_buffer that stores the
smallest amount doesn't get reset when all the waiters are woken up. It
does get reset when the ring buffer is reset (echo > /sys/kernel/tracing/trace).

This means that tasks may be woken up more often then when they want to
be. Instead, have the shortest_full field get reset just before waking up
all the tasks. If the tasks wait again, they will update the shortest_full
before sleeping.

Also add locking around setting of shortest_full in the poll logic, and
change "work" to "rbwork" to match the variable name for rb_irq_work
structures that are used in other places.

ring-buffer: Do not set shortest_full when full target is hit

2024-04-03T13:19:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit 761d9473e27f0c8782895013a3e7b52a37c8bcfc ]

The rb_watermark_hit() checks if the amount of data in the ring buffer is
above the percentage level passed in by the "full" variable. If it is, it
returns true.

But it also sets the "shortest_full" field of the cpu_buffer that informs
writers that it needs to call the irq_work if the amount of data on the
ring buffer is above the requested amount.

The rb_watermark_hit() always sets the shortest_full even if the amount in
the ring buffer is what it wants. As it is not going to wait, because it
has what it wants, there's no reason to set shortest_full.

ring-buffer: Fix waking up ring buffer readers

2024-04-03T13:19:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit b3594573681b53316ec0365332681a30463edfd6 ]

A task can wait on a ring buffer for when it fills up to a specific
watermark. The writer will check the minimum watermark that waiters are
waiting for and if the ring buffer is past that, it will wake up all the
waiters.

The waiters are in a wait loop, and will first check if a signal is
pending and then check if the ring buffer is at the desired level where it
should break out of the loop.

If a file that uses a ring buffer closes, and there's threads waiting on
the ring buffer, it needs to wake up those threads. To do this, a
"wait_index" was used.

Before entering the wait loop, the waiter will read the wait_index. On
wakeup, it will check if the wait_index is different than when it entered
the loop, and will exit the loop if it is. The waker will only need to
update the wait_index before waking up the waiters.

This had a couple of bugs. One trivial one and one broken by design.

The trivial bug was that the waiter checked the wait_index after the
schedule() call. It had to be checked between the prepare_to_wait() and
the schedule() which it was not.

The main bug is that the first check to set the default wait_index will
always be outside the prepare_to_wait() and the schedule(). That's because
the ring_buffer_wait() doesn't have enough context to know if it should
break out of the loop.

The loop itself is not needed, because all the callers to the
ring_buffer_wait() also has their own loop, as the callers have a better
sense of what the context is to decide whether to break out of the loop
or not.

Just have the ring_buffer_wait() block once, and if it gets woken up, exit
the function and let the callers decide what to do next.

bpf: Remove trace_printk_lock

2024-02-23T08:12:51+00:00

commit e2bb9e01d589f7fa82573aedd2765ff9b277816a upstream.

Both bpf_trace_printk and bpf_trace_vprintk helpers use static buffer guarded
with trace_printk_lock spin lock.

The spin lock contention causes issues with bpf programs attached to
contention_begin tracepoint [1][2].

Andrii suggested we could get rid of the contention by using trylock, but we
could actually get rid of the spinlock completely by using percpu buffers the
same way as for bin_args in bpf_bprintf_prepare function.

Adding new return 'buf' argument to struct bpf_bprintf_data and making
bpf_bprintf_prepare to return also the buffer for printk helpers.
