10 daysring-buffer: Fix to update per-subbuf entries of persistent ring bufferMasami Hiramatsu (Google)1-1/+1
commit f35dbac6942171dc4ce9398d1d216a59224590a9 upstream. Since the validation loop in rb_meta_validate_events() updates the same cpu_buffer->head_page->entries, the other subbuf entries are not updated. Fix to use head_page to update the entries field, since it is the cursor in this loop.

2026-03-13tracing: Fix WARN_ON in tracing_buffers_mmap_closeQing Wang1-0/+21
commit e39bb9e02b68942f8e9359d2a3efe7d37ae6be0e upstream. When a process forks, the child process copies the parent's VMAs but the user_mapped reference count is not incremented. As a result, when both the parent and child processes exit, tracing_buffers_mmap_close() is called twice. On the second call, user_mapped is already 0, causing the function to return -ENODEV and triggering a WARN_ON. Normally, this isn't an issue as the memory is mapped with VM_DONTCOPY set. But this is only a hint, and the application can call madvise(MADVISE_DOFORK) which resets the VM_DONTCOPY flag. When the application does that, it can trigger this issue on fork. Fix it by incrementing the user_mapped reference count without re-mapping the pages in the VMA's open callback.

2026-03-04tracing: ring-buffer: Fix to check event length before usingMasami Hiramatsu (Google)1-1/+5
[ Upstream commit 912b0ee248c529a4f45d1e7f568dc1adddbf2a4a ] Check the event length before adding it for accessing next index in rb_read_data_buffer(). Since this function is used for validating possibly broken ring buffers, the length of the event could be broken. In that case, the new event (e + len) can point a wrong address. To avoid invalid memory access at boot, check whether the length of each event is in the possible range before using it.

2026-02-11ring-buffer: Avoid softlockup in ring_buffer_resize() during memory freeWupeng Ma1-0/+2
[ Upstream commit 6435ffd6c7fcba330dfa91c58dc30aed2df3d0bf ] When user resize all trace ring buffer through file 'buffer_size_kb', then in ring_buffer_resize(), kernel allocates buffer pages for each cpu in a loop. If the kernel preemption model is PREEMPT_NONE and there are many cpus and there are many buffer pages to be freed, it may not give up cpu for a long time and finally cause a softlockup. To avoid it, call cond_resched() after each cpu buffer free as Commit f6bd2c92488c ("ring-buffer: Avoid softlockup in ring_buffer_resize()") does. Detailed call trace as follow: rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU rcu: 24-....: (14837 ticks this GP) idle=521c/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=230597/230597 fqs=5329 rcu: (t=15004 jiffies g=26003221 q=211022 ncpus=96) CPU: 24 UID: 0 PID: 11253 Comm: bash Kdump: loaded Tainted: G EL 6.18.2+ #278 NONE pc : arch_local_irq_restore+0x8/0x20 arch_local_irq_restore+0x8/0x20 (P) free_frozen_page_commit+0x28c/0x3b0 __free_frozen_pages+0x1c0/0x678 ___free_pages+0xc0/0xe0 free_pages+0x3c/0x50 ring_buffer_resize.part.0+0x6a8/0x880 ring_buffer_resize+0x3c/0x58 __tracing_resize_ring_buffer.part.0+0x34/0xd8 tracing_resize_ring_buffer+0x8c/0xd0 tracing_entries_write+0x74/0xd8 vfs_write+0xcc/0x288 ksys_write+0x74/0x118 __arm64_sys_write+0x24/0x38 Cc: <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251228065008.2396573-1-mawupeng1@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Wupeng Ma <mawupeng1@huawei.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
2025-11-13ring-buffer: Do not warn in ring_buffer_map_get_reader() when reader catches upSteven Rostedt1-0/+4
commit aa997d2d2a0b2e76f4df0f1f12829f02acb4fb6b upstream. The function ring_buffer_map_get_reader() is a bit more strict than the other get reader functions, and except for certain situations the rb_get_reader_page() should not return NULL. If it does, it triggers a warning. This warning was triggering but after looking at why, it was because another acceptable situation was happening and it wasn't checked for. If the reader catches up to the writer and there's still data to be read on the reader page, then the rb_get_reader_page() will return NULL as there's no new page to get. In this situation, the reader page should not be updated and no warning should trigger.

2025-08-15ring-buffer: Remove ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync()Steven Rostedt1-53/+10
[ Upstream commit 119a5d573622ae90ba730d18acfae9bb75d77b9a ] When the ring buffer was first introduced, reading the non-consuming "trace" file required disabling the writing of the ring buffer. To make sure the writing was fully disabled before iterating the buffer with a non-consuming read, it would set the disable flag of the buffer and then call an RCU synchronization to make sure all the buffers were synchronized. The function ring_buffer_read_start() originally would initialize the iterator and call an RCU synchronization, but this was for each individual per CPU buffer where this would get called many times on a machine with many CPUs before the trace file could be read. The commit 72c9ddfd4c5bf ("ring-buffer: Make non-consuming read less expensive with lots of cpus.") separated ring_buffer_read_start into ring_buffer_read_prepare(), ring_buffer_read_sync() and then ring_buffer_read_start() to allow each of the per CPU buffers to be prepared, call the read_buffer_read_sync() once, and then the ring_buffer_read_start() for each of the CPUs which made things much faster. The commit 1039221cc278 ("ring-buffer: Do not disable recording when there is an iterator") removed the requirement of disabling the recording of the ring buffer in order to iterate it, but it did not remove the synchronization that was happening that was required to wait for all the buffers to have no more writers. It's now OK for the buffers to have writers and no synchronization is needed. Remove the synchronization and put back the interface for the ring buffer iterator back before commit 72c9ddfd4c5bf was applied.

2025-06-19ring-buffer: Do not trigger WARN_ON() due to a commit_overrunSteven Rostedt1-8/+18
commit 4fc78a7c9ca994e1da5d3940704d4e8f0ea8c5e4 upstream. When reading a memory mapped buffer the reader page is just swapped out with the last page written in the write buffer. If the reader page is the same as the commit buffer (the buffer that is currently being written to) it was assumed that it should never have missed events. If it does, it triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE(). But there just happens to be one scenario where this can legitimately happen. That is on a commit_overrun. A commit overrun is when an interrupt preempts an event being written to the buffer and then the interrupt adds so many new events that it fills and wraps the buffer back to the commit. Any new events would then be dropped and be reported as "missed_events". In this case, the next page to read is the commit buffer and after the swap of the reader page, the reader page will be the commit buffer, but this time there will be missed events and this triggers the following warning: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1127 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:7357 ring_buffer_map_get_reader+0x49a/0x780 Modules linked in: kvm_intel kvm irqbypass CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 1127 Comm: trace-cmd Not tainted 6.15.0-rc7-test-00004-g478bc2824b45-dirty #564 PREEMPT Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:ring_buffer_map_get_reader+0x49a/0x780 Code: 00 00 00 48 89 fe 48 c1 ee 03 80 3c 2e 00 0f 85 ec 01 00 00 4d 3b a6 a8 00 00 00 0f 85 8a fd ff ff 48 85 c0 0f 84 55 fe ff ff <0f> 0b e9 4e fe ff ff be 08 00 00 00 4c 89 54 24 58 48 89 54 24 50 RSP: 0018:ffff888121787dc0 EFLAGS: 00010002 RAX: 00000000000006a2 RBX: ffff888100062800 RCX: ffffffff8190cb49 RDX: ffff888126934c00 RSI: 1ffff11020200a15 RDI: ffff8881010050a8 RBP: dffffc0000000000 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffed1024d26982 R10: ffff888126934c17 R11: ffff8881010050a8 R12: ffff888126934c00 R13: ffff8881010050b8 R14: ffff888101005000 R15: ffff888126930008 FS: 00007f95c8cd7540(0000) GS:ffff8882b576e000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f95c8de4dc0 CR3: 0000000128452002 CR4: 0000000000172ef0 Call Trace: <TASK> ? __pfx_ring_buffer_map_get_reader+0x10/0x10 tracing_buffers_ioctl+0x283/0x370 __x64_sys_ioctl+0x134/0x190 do_syscall_64+0x79/0x1c0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e RIP: 0033:0x7f95c8de48db Code: 00 48 89 44 24 18 31 c0 48 8d 44 24 60 c7 04 24 10 00 00 00 48 89 44 24 08 48 8d 44 24 20 48 89 44 24 10 b8 10 00 00 00 0f 05 <89> c2 3d 00 f0 ff ff 77 1c 48 8b 44 24 18 64 48 2b 04 25 28 00 00 RSP: 002b:00007ffe037ba110 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000010 RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 00007ffe037bb2b0 RCX: 00007f95c8de48db RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000005220 RDI: 0000000000000006 RBP: 00007ffe037ba180 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: 00007ffe037bb6f8 R14: 00007f95c9065000 R15: 00005575c7492c90 </TASK> irq event stamp: 5080 hardirqs last enabled at (5079): [<ffffffff83e0adb0>] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore+0x50/0x70 hardirqs last disabled at (5080): [<ffffffff83e0aa83>] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x63/0x70 softirqs last enabled at (4182): [<ffffffff81516122>] handle_softirqs+0x552/0x710 softirqs last disabled at (4159): [<ffffffff815163f7>] __irq_exit_rcu+0x107/0x210 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- The above was triggered by running on a kernel with both lockdep and KASAN as well as kmemleak enabled and executing the following command: # perf record -o perf-test.dat -a -- trace-cmd record --nosplice -e all -p function hackbench 50 With perf interjecting a lot of interrupts and trace-cmd enabling all events as well as function tracing, with lockdep, KASAN and kmemleak enabled, it could cause an interrupt preempting an event being written to add enough events to wrap the buffer. trace-cmd was modified to have --nosplice use mmap instead of reading the buffer. The way to differentiate this case from the normal case of there only being one page written to where the swap of the reader page received that one page (which is the commit page), check if the tail page is on the reader page. The difference between the commit page and the tail page is that the tail page is where new writes go to, and the commit page holds the first write that hasn't been committed yet. In the case of an interrupt preempting the write of an event and filling the buffer, it would move the tail page but not the commit page. Have the warning only trigger if the tail page is also on the reader page, and also print out the number of events dropped by a commit overrun as that can not yet be safely added to the page so that the reader can see there were events dropped.

2025-05-22ring-buffer: Fix persistent buffer when commit page is the reader pageSteven Rostedt1-3/+5
commit 1d6c39c89f617c9fec6bbae166e25b16a014f7c8 upstream. The ring buffer is made up of sub buffers (sometimes called pages as they are by default PAGE_SIZE). It has the following "pages": "tail page" - this is the page that the next write will write to "head page" - this is the page that the reader will swap the reader page with. "reader page" - This belongs to the reader, where it will swap the head page from the ring buffer so that the reader does not race with the writer. The writer may end up on the "reader page" if the ring buffer hasn't written more than one page, where the "tail page" and the "head page" are the same. The persistent ring buffer has meta data that points to where these pages exist so on reboot it can re-create the pointers to the cpu_buffer descriptor. But when the commit page is on the reader page, the logic is incorrect. The check to see if the commit page is on the reader page checked if the head page was the reader page, which would never happen, as the head page is always in the ring buffer. The correct check would be to test if the commit page is on the reader page. If that's the case, then it can exit out early as the commit page is only on the reader page when there's only one page of data in the buffer. There's no reason to iterate the ring buffer pages to find the "commit page" as it is already found. To trigger this bug: # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped/events/syscalls/sys_enter_fchownat/enable # touch /tmp/x # chown sshd /tmp/x # reboot On boot up, the dmesg will have: Ring buffer meta [0] is from previous boot! Ring buffer meta [1] is from previous boot! Ring buffer meta [2] is from previous boot! Ring buffer meta [3] is from previous boot! Ring buffer meta [4] commit page not found Ring buffer meta [5] is from previous boot! Ring buffer meta [6] is from previous boot! Ring buffer meta [7] is from previous boot! Where the buffer on CPU 4 had a "commit page not found" error and that buffer is cleared and reset causing the output to be empty and the data lost. When it works correctly, it has: # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_mapped/trace_pipe <...>-1137 [004] ..... 998.205323: sys_enter_fchownat: __syscall_nr=0x104 (260) dfd=0xffffff9c (4294967196) filename=(0xffffc90000a0002c) user=0x3e8 (1000) group=0xffffffff (4294967295) flag=0x0 (0 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250513115032.3e0b97f7@gandalf.local.home Fixes: 5f3b6e839f3ce ("ring-buffer: Validate boot range memory events") Reported-by: Tasos Sahanidis <tasos@tasossah.com> Tested-by: Tasos Sahanidis <tasos@tasossah.com> Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2025-04-20ring-buffer: Use flush_kernel_vmap_range() over flush_dcache_folio()Steven Rostedt1-2/+3
commit e4d4b8670c44cdd22212cab3c576e2d317efa67c upstream. Some architectures do not have data cache coherency between user and kernel space. For these architectures, the cache needs to be flushed on both the kernel and user addresses so that user space can see the updates the kernel has made. Instead of using flush_dcache_folio() and playing with virt_to_folio() within the call to that function, use flush_kernel_vmap_range() which takes the virtual address and does the work for those architectures that need it. This also fixes a bug where the flush of the reader page only flushed one page. If the sub-buffer order is 1 or more, where the sub-buffer size would be greater than a page, it would miss the rest of the sub-buffer content, as the "reader page" is not just a page, but the size of a sub-buffer.

commit 97937834ae876f29565415ab15f1284666dc6be3 upstream. The pages_touched field represents the number of subbuffers in the ring buffer that have content that can be read. This is used in accounting of "dirty_pages" and "buffer_percent" to allow the user to wait for the buffer to be filled to a certain amount before it reads the buffer in blocking mode. The persistent buffer never updated this value so it was set to zero, and this accounting would take it as it had no content. This would cause user space to wait for content even though there's enough content in the ring buffer that satisfies the buffer_percent.

2025-02-21ring-buffer: Validate the persistent meta data subbuf arraySteven Rostedt1-2/+20
commit f5b95f1fa2ef3a03f49eeec658ba97e721412b32 upstream. The meta data for a mapped ring buffer contains an array of indexes of all the subbuffers. The first entry is the reader page, and the rest of the entries lay out the order of the subbuffers in how the ring buffer link list is to be created. The validator currently makes sure that all the entries are within the range of 0 and nr_subbufs. But it does not check if there are any duplicates. While working on the ring buffer, I corrupted this array, where I added duplicates. The validator did not catch it and created the ring buffer link list on top of it. Luckily, the corruption was only that the reader page was also in the writer path and only presented corrupted data but did not crash the kernel. But if there were duplicates in the writer side, then it could corrupt the ring buffer link list and cause a crash. Create a bitmask array with the size of the number of subbuffers. Then clear it. When walking through the subbuf array checking to see if the entries are within the range, test if its bit is already set in the subbuf_mask. If it is, then there is duplicates and fail the validation. If not, set the corresponding bit and continue.

2025-02-17ring-buffer: Make reading page consistent with the code logicJeongjun Park1-1/+3
[ Upstream commit 6e31b759b076eebb4184117234f0c4eb9e4bc460 ] In the loop of __rb_map_vma(), the 's' variable is calculated from the same logic that nr_pages is and they both come from nr_subbufs. But the relationship is not obvious and there's a WARN_ON_ONCE() around the 's' variable to make sure it never becomes equal to nr_subbufs within the loop. If that happens, then the code is buggy and needs to be fixed. The 'page' variable is calculated from cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids[s] which is an array of 'nr_subbufs' entries. If the code becomes buggy and 's' becomes equal to or greater than 'nr_subbufs' then this will be an out of bounds hit before the WARN_ON() is triggered and the code exiting safely. Make the 'page' initialization consistent with the code logic and assign it after the out of bounds check.

2024-12-14ring-buffer: Limit time with disabled interrupts in rb_check_pages()Petr Pavlu1-26/+72
[ Upstream commit b237e1f7d2273fdcffac20100b72c002bdd770dd ] The function rb_check_pages() validates the integrity of a specified per-CPU tracing ring buffer. It does so by traversing the underlying linked list and checking its next and prev links. To guarantee that the list isn't modified during the check, a caller typically needs to take cpu_buffer->reader_lock. This prevents the check from running concurrently, for example, with a potential reader which can make the list temporarily inconsistent when swapping its old reader page into the buffer. A problem with this approach is that the time when interrupts are disabled is non-deterministic, dependent on the ring buffer size. This particularly affects PREEMPT_RT because the reader_lock is a raw spinlock which doesn't become sleepable on PREEMPT_RT kernels. Modify the check so it still attempts to traverse the entire list, but gives up the reader_lock between checking individual pages. Introduce for this purpose a new variable ring_buffer_per_cpu.cnt which is bumped any time the list is modified. The value is used by rb_check_pages() to detect such a change and restart the check.

2024-11-14Revert: "ring-buffer: Do not have boot mapped buffers hook to CPU hotplug"Steven Rostedt1-6/+3
A crash happened when testing cpu hotplug with respect to the memory mapped ring buffers. It was assumed that the hot plug code was adding a per CPU buffer that was already created that caused the crash. The real problem was due to ref counting and was fixed by commit 2cf9733891a4 ("ring-buffer: Fix refcount setting of boot mapped buffers"). When a per CPU buffer is created, it will not be created again even with CPU hotplug, so the fix to not use CPU hotplug was a red herring. In fact, it caused only the boot CPU buffer to be created, leaving the other CPU per CPU buffers disabled. Revert that change as it was not the culprit of the fix it was intended to be.

This operation may be invoked concurrently with readers that rely on some of the modified data, such as the head bit (RB_PAGE_HEAD), or the ring_buffer_per_cpu.pages and reader_page pointers. However, no exclusive access is acquired by ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set(). Modifying the mentioned data while a reader also operates on them can then result in incorrect memory access and various crashes. Fix the problem by taking the reader_lock when updating a specific ring_buffer_per_cpu in ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set().

2024-10-09ring-buffer: Do not have boot mapped buffers hook to CPU hotplugSteven Rostedt1-3/+6
The boot mapped ring buffer has its buffer mapped at a fixed location found at boot up. It is not dynamic. It cannot grow or be expanded when new CPUs come online. Do not hook fixed memory mapped ring buffers to the CPU hotplug callback, otherwise it can cause a crash when it tries to add the buffer to the memory that is already fully occupied.

2024-08-26ring-buffer: Align meta-page to sub-buffers for improved TLB usageVincent Donnefort1-13/+20
Previously, the mapped ring-buffer layout caused misalignment between the meta-page and sub-buffers when the sub-buffer size was not a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. This prevented hardware with larger TLB entries from utilizing them effectively. Add a padding with the zero-page between the meta-page and sub-buffers. Also update the ring-buffer map_test to verify that padding.

2024-08-26ring-buffer: Add magic and struct size to boot up meta dataSteven Rostedt1-0/+14
Add a magic number as well as save the struct size of the ring_buffer_meta structure in the meta data to also use as validation. Updating the magic number could be used to force a invalidation between kernel versions, and saving the structure size is also a good method to make sure the content is what is expected.

2024-08-26ring-buffer: Don't reset persistent ring-buffer meta saved addressesSteven Rostedt1-8/+24
The text and data address is saved in the meta data so that it can be used to know the delta of the text and data addresses of the last boot compared to the text and data addresses of the current boot. The delta is used to convert function pointer entries in the ring buffer to something that can be used by kallsyms (note this only works for built-in functions). But the saved addresses get reset on boot up. If the buffer is not used and there's another reboot, then the saved text and data addresses will be of the last boot and not that of the boot that created the content in the ring buffer. To get an idea of the issue: # trace-cmd start -B boot_mapped -p function # reboot # trace-cmd show -B boot_mapped | tail <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983243: native_apic_msr_write <-native_kick_ap <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983244: __pfx_native_apic_msr_eoi <-native_kick_ap <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983244: reserve_irq_vector_locked <-native_kick_ap <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983262: branch_emulate_op <-native_kick_ap <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983262: __ia32_sys_ia32_pread64 <-native_kick_ap <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983263: native_kick_ap <-__smpboot_create_thread <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983263: store_cache_disable <-native_kick_ap <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983279: acpi_power_off_prepare <-native_kick_ap <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983280: __pfx_acpi_ns_delete_node <-acpi_suspend_enter <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983280: __pfx_acpi_os_release_lock <-acpi_suspend_enter # reboot # trace-cmd show -B boot_mapped |tail <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983243: 0xffffffffa9669220 <-0xffffffffa965f3db <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983244: 0xffffffffa96690f0 <-0xffffffffa965f3db <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983244: 0xffffffffa9663fa0 <-0xffffffffa965f3db <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983262: 0xffffffffa9672e80 <-0xffffffffa965f3e0 <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983262: 0xffffffffa962b940 <-0xffffffffa965f3ec <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983263: 0xffffffffa965f540 <-0xffffffffa96e1362 <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983263: 0xffffffffa963c940 <-0xffffffffa965f55b <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983279: 0xffffffffa9ee30c0 <-0xffffffffa965f59b <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983280: 0xffffffffa9f16c10 <-0xffffffffa9ee3157 <...>-1 [000] d..1. 461.983280: 0xffffffffa9ee02e0 <-0xffffffffa9ee3157 By not updating the saved text and data addresses in the meta data at every boot up and only updating them when the buffer is reset, it allows multiple boots to see the same data.

2024-06-14tracing/ring-buffer: Add last_boot_info file to boot instanceSteven Rostedt (Google)1-0/+23
If an instance is mapped to memory on boot up, create a new file called "last_boot_info" that will hold information that can be used to properly parse the raw data in the ring buffer. It will export the delta of the addresses for text and data from what it was from the last boot. It does not expose actually addresses (unless you knew what the actual address was from the last boot). The output will look like: # cat last_boot_info text delta: -268435456 data delta: -268435456 The text and data are kept separate in case they are ever made different.
