PowerPC, ftrace: Add PPC raw syscall tracepoints & ftrace fixes (mimimal subset only) v4

PowerPC, ftrace: Add PPC raw syscall tracepoints & ftrace fixes (mimimal subset only) v4

[Ian Munsie]

Hi All,

This is a partial version of my 'ftrace syscalls, PowerPC: Various fixes,
Compat Syscall support and PowerPC implementation'. This is updated from
yesterday with arch_syscall_addr changed to a static inline function from
Steven's suggestion.

This subset implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC which has been
requested recently.  It also fixes ftrace syscalls to ensure that events will
only be created for syscalls that successfully map their metadata to a syscall
number, so that non-working phantom events are not created. Patches #2 and #6
in this series are not strictly necessary for this, they just optimise ftrace
syscalls a bit.

What's missing from this series that was in the full 40 patch v2 series is the
conversion of all the syscalls implemented under /arch/powerpc, Jason Baron's
compat syscall support and the conversion of the remaining native and compat
syscalls to this infrastructure.

Cheers,
-Ian


Changelog:
Subset v4:
- Changed arch_syscall_addr to a static inline function from Steven's
  suggestion. Archs implementing their own function must now define
  ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_MATCH_SYM_NAME in their asm/ftrace.h

Subset v3:
- Rather than removing the redundant syscall_nr checks completely, I have
  turned them into WARN_ON_ONCE to catch possible future regressions, from
  Steven Rostedt's suggestion.
- From Mike Frysinger's suggestion, arch_syscall_addr is now a macro rather
  than a weak function to minimise the overhead at boot. Archs with special
  requirements (such as ppc64) can define their own macro in asm/ftrace.h.
  Steven Rostedt suggested this be made a static inline function, but I don't
  see how this would be possible (at least without #defines and #ifndefs) given
  that it has to be weak to allow archs to override it (Unless I misunderstood
  something?  Steven?).

Subset v2:
- Minimal unchanged subset from 'ftrace syscalls, PowerPC: Various fixes,
  Compat Syscall support and PowerPC implementation' v2 patch series.

[PATCH 1/6] ftrace syscalls: don't add events for unmapped syscalls

[Ian Munsie]

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>

FTRACE_SYSCALLS would create events for each and every system call, even
if it had failed to map the system call's name with it's number. This
resulted in a number of events being created that would not behave as
expected.

This could happen, for example, on architectures who's symbol names are
unusual and will not match the system call name. It could also happen
with system calls which were mapped to sys_ni_syscall.

This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1.
If the system call name from the metadata is not successfully mapped to
a system call number during boot, than the event initialisation routine
will now return an error, preventing the event from being created.

[PATCH 2/6] ftrace syscalls: Convert redundant syscall_nr checks into WARN_ON

[Ian Munsie]

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>

With the ftrace events now checking if the syscall_nr is valid upon
initialisation it should no longer be possible to register or unregister
a syscall event without a valid syscall_nr since they should not be
created. This adds a WARN_ON_ONCE in the register and unregister
functions to locate potential regressions in the future.

[PATCH 3/6] ftrace syscalls: Make arch_syscall_addr weak

[Ian Munsie]

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>

Some architectures use non-trivial system call tables and will not work
with the generic arch_syscall_addr code. For example, PowerPC64 uses a
table of twin long longs.

This patch makes the generic arch_syscall_addr weak to allow
architectures with non-trivial system call tables to override it.

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au.ibm.com>

This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports
them for ftrace syscalls to use.

To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread
info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit
within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions
in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the
_TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing
is enabled.

In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and
arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to
work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that
start with a period.

[PATCH 6/6] ftrace syscalls: Early terminate search for sys_ni_syscall

[Ian Munsie]

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>

Many system calls are unimplemented and mapped to sys_ni_syscall, but at
boot ftrace would still search through every syscall metadata entry for
a match which wouldn't be there.

This patch adds causes the search to terminate early if the system call
is not mapped.

Re: [PATCH 5/6] ftrace, powerpc: Implement raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC

[Steven Rostedt]

Ben,

How do you want to work this? Do you want to ack it and I take this
patch with the others through the tracing tree, or do you want to wait
till the tracing tree gets updated into mainline and then pull this in
though the ppc tree. As this touches a bit of the ppc side.

-- Steve

Re: [PATCH 5/6] ftrace, powerpc: Implement raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC

[Steven Rostedt]

Ben,

How do you want to work this? Do you want to ack it and I take this
patch with the others through the tracing tree, or do you want to wait
till the tracing tree gets updated into mainline and then pull this in
though the ppc tree. As this touches a bit of the ppc side.

I was waiting to see what you were up to vs. the rest of the series :-)

I still need to review that one closely, at which point I'm happy for
you to take it.

I was waiting to see what you were up to vs. the rest of the series :-)

I still need to review that one closely, at which point I'm happy for
you to take it.

tracing/syscalls: Don't add events for unmapped syscalls

FTRACE_SYSCALLS would create events for each and every system call, even
if it had failed to map the system call's name with it's number. This
resulted in a number of events being created that would not behave as
expected.

This could happen, for example, on architectures who's symbol names are
unusual and will not match the system call name. It could also happen
with system calls which were mapped to sys_ni_syscall.

This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1.
If the system call name from the metadata is not successfully mapped to
a system call number during boot, than the event initialisation routine
will now return an error, preventing the event from being created.

tracing/syscalls: Convert redundant syscall_nr checks into WARN_ON

With the ftrace events now checking if the syscall_nr is valid upon
initialisation it should no longer be possible to register or unregister
a syscall event without a valid syscall_nr since they should not be
created. This adds a WARN_ON_ONCE in the register and unregister
functions to locate potential regressions in the future.

tracing/syscalls: Make arch_syscall_addr weak

Some architectures use non-trivial system call tables and will not work
with the generic arch_syscall_addr code. For example, PowerPC64 uses a
table of twin long longs.

This patch makes the generic arch_syscall_addr weak to allow
architectures with non-trivial system call tables to override it.

tracing/syscalls: Allow arch specific syscall symbol matching

Some architectures have unusual symbol names and the generic code to
match the symbol name with the function name for the syscall metadata
will fail. For example, symbols on PPC64 start with a period and the
generic code will fail to match them.

This patch moves the match logic out into a separate function which an
arch can override by defining ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_MATCH_SYM_NAME in
asm/ftrace.h and implementing arch_syscall_match_sym_name.

tracing/syscalls: Early terminate search for sys_ni_syscall

Many system calls are unimplemented and mapped to sys_ni_syscall, but at
boot ftrace would still search through every syscall metadata entry for
a match which wouldn't be there.

This patch adds causes the search to terminate early if the system call
is not mapped.

[PATCH 1/6] ftrace syscalls: don't add events for unmapped syscalls

[Ian Munsie]

From: Ian Munsie <imunsie@au1.ibm.com>

FTRACE_SYSCALLS would create events for each and every system call, even
if it had failed to map the system call's name with it's number. This
resulted in a number of events being created that would not behave as
expected.

This could happen, for example, on architectures who's symbol names are
unusual and will not match the system call name. It could also happen
with system calls which were mapped to sys_ni_syscall.

This patch changes the default system call number in the metadata to -1.
If the system call name from the metadata is not successfully mapped to
a system call number during boot, than the event initialisation routine
will now return an error, preventing the event from being created.
