[PATCH 0/4] uprobes/tracing: uretprobes, initial preparations

[Oleg Nesterov]

Hello.

uretprobes code is almost ready, we need to teach trace_uprobe.c
to support them.

This looks simple, but there is a nasty complication. We do not
want to copy-and-paste the code like trace_kprobe.c does. Just look
at kprobe_event_define_fields() and kretprobe_event_define_fields().
They are non-trivial but almost identical. And there are a lot more
examples.

So I'd like to send 4/4 for review before I'll do other changes.
The patch itself doesn't make sense and complicates the source code a
bit. But note how easy we can change, say, uprobe_event_define_fields(),

	-	DEFINE_FIELD(vaddr[0], FIELD_STRING_IP);
	-	size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(1);
	+	if (!trace_probe_is_return(tu)) {
	+		DEFINE_FIELD(vaddr[0], FIELD_STRING_IP);
	+		size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(1);
	+	} else {
	+		DEFINE_FIELD(vaddr[0], FIELD_STRING_FUNC);
	+		DEFINE_FIELD(vaddr[1], FIELD_STRING_RETIP);
	+		size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(2);
	+	}

without copy-and-paste. The same simple change is possible for other
helpers playing with uprobe_trace_entry_head.

In fact personally I think that trace_kprobe.c should be cleanuped
this way.



Off-topic question... Why uprobe_perf_func() passes "addr = ip" to
perf_trace_buf_submit() ? This just sets perf_sample_data->addr for
PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, do we really need this? and we already have
perf_sample_data->ip initialized by perf. Just curious.

Oleg.

[PATCH 1/4] uprobes/tracing: Kill the pointless task_pt_regs() calls

[Oleg Nesterov]

uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func() do not need task_pt_regs(),
we already have "struct pt_regs *regs".

seq_print_ip_sym(ip) in print_uprobe_event() is pointless,

Thanks :), since the running context of uprobe handler is
different from kprobe one, this change is only needed for uprobe.

Thanks!

Masami, perhaps you can also answer the question I asked in 0/4
marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136458107403835 ?

	Off-topic question... Why uprobe_perf_func() passes "addr = ip" to
	perf_trace_buf_submit() ? This just sets perf_sample_data->addr for
	PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR, do we really need this? and we already have
	perf_sample_data->ip initialized by perf.

kprobe_perf_func() and kretprobe_perf_func() do the same.

Once again, I am just curious and this is completely offtopic.

Oleg.

Good catch! I guess that I might misunderstood that it was used
for sampling execution address. It should be replaced with (u64)0,
as perf_trace_##call() does.

Thanks!

How about this trivial cleanup then? If I have your ack I'll add this
patch to other pending changes.

And... Cough, another question ;) To simplify, lets discuss kprobe_perf_func()
only. Suppose that a task hits the kprobe but this task/cpu doesn't have
a counter. Can't we avoid perf_trace_buf_prepare/submit in this case?
IOW, what do you think about the change below?

[PATCH 1/1] uprobes/tracing: Don't pass addr=ip to perf_trace_buf_submit()

[Oleg Nesterov]

uprobe_perf_print() passes addr=ip to perf_trace_buf_submit() for
no reason. This sets perf_sample_data->addr for PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR,
we already have perf_sample_data->ip initialized if PERF_SAMPLE_IP.

Hmm, I'm not so sure how frequently this happens. And, is this right way to
handle that case? If so, we can do same thing also on trace_events.

Suppose that you do, say, "perf record -e probe:some_func workload". Only
"workload" will have the active counter, any other task which hits the
probed some_func() will do perf_trace_buf_prepare/perf_trace_buf_submit
just to realize that nobody wants perf_swevent_event().

Simple test-case:

	#include <unistd.h>

	int main(void)
	{
		int n;

		for (n = 0; n < 1000 * 1000; ++n)
			getppid();

		return 0;
	}

Without kprobe:

	# time ./ppid

	real    0m0.663s
	user    0m0.163s
	sys     0m0.500s

Activate the probe:

	# perf probe sys_getppid

	# perf record -e probe:sys_getppid sleep 1000 &
	[1] 546

Test it again 3 times:

	# time ./ppid

Before the patch:

	real    0m9.727s
	user    0m0.177s
	sys     0m9.547s

	real    0m9.752s
	user    0m0.180s
	sys     0m9.573s

	real    0m9.761s
	user    0m0.187s
	sys     0m9.573s

After the patch:

	real    0m9.605s
	user	0m0.163s
	sys	0m9.437s

	real	0m9.592s
	user	0m0.167s
	sys	0m9.423s

	real	0m9.613s
	user	0m0.183s
	sys	0m9.427s

So the difference looks measurable but small, and I did the testing
under qemu so I do not really know if we can trust the numbers.

> And, is this right way to
> handle that case?

If only I was sure ;) I am asking.

And, to clarify, it is not that I think this change can really
improve the perfomance. Just I am trying to understand what I have
missed.

> If so, we can do same thing also on trace_events.
> (perf_trace_##call in include/trace/ftrace.h)

Yes, yes, this is not kprobe-specific. It seems that more users of
perf_trace_buf_submit() could be changed the same way.

Thanks,

Oleg.

Wow, you're right. Seems that perf goes through a lot of work for every
time a tracepoint is hit for *all tasks*.

Sure, will be happy to do.

But can I change uprobes/perf first? I have a lot more pending changes in
trace_uprobe.c which I am going to ask to pull, I'd like to add this simple
patch to "oleg/misc uprobes/core" if I have your ack.

Oleg.

[PATCH 1/1] uprobes/perf: Avoid perf_trace_buf_prepare/submit if ->perf_events is empty

[Oleg Nesterov]

perf_trace_buf_prepare() + perf_trace_buf_submit() make no sense
if this task/CPU has no active counters. Change uprobe_perf_print()
to return if hlist_empty(call->perf_events).

Note: this is not uprobe-specific, we can change other users too.

Everything looks trivial except DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS()->perf_trace_*() which
should also check __task != NULL.

In fact this _looks_ simple too, we could move TP_perf_assign() logic into
TP_ARGS(), but probably this is too ugly. I'll try think more.

How about instead, just change the above two and have:

	/* uprobes are never called with preemption disabled */
	pc = 0;
	irq_flags = 0;

and leave the rest the same. This will help in future reviewers of the
code to not have to look up what that "0, 0" is for, and then wonder if
it should be that way. gcc should optimize it to be exactly the same as
this patch.

Hmm, just to remind which arguments trace_current_buffer_*() has?

Personally I disagree. And, for example, ftrace_syscall_enter/exit just
use 0,0 for the same reason.

So please tell me if you really want the dummy variables/arguments, in
this case I'll change this code even if I do not like it.

Oleg.

I'm not attached to it, so if you really don't like it, then sure, go
ahead and scrap it. I was just fueled by the hatred of "1" and "2" in
your other patch that it carried over to this one ;-)

[PATCH 4/4] uprobes/tracing: generalize struct uprobe_trace_entry_head

[Oleg Nesterov]

struct uprobe_trace_entry_head has a single member for reporting,
"unsigned long ip". If we want to support uretprobes we need to
create another struct which has "func" and "ret_ip" and duplicate
a lot of functions, like trace_kprobe.c does.

To avoid this copy-and-paste horror we turn ->ip into ->vaddr[]
and add couple of trivial helpers to calculate sizeof/data. This
uglifies the code a bit, but this allows us to avoid a lot more
complications later, when we add the support for ret-probes.

That '1' is confusing. When I first looked at this code, I thought it
was a bug as it should have been '0' (thinking of arrays). And then I
realized that you want the entry *after* the element.

Instead of '1' and I assume '2' for ret probes, how about defining an
enum:

enum {
	UPROBE_NORM	= 1,
	UPROBE_RET	= 2,
};

and then you can have;

	size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(UPROBE_NORM);

and later:

	size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(UPROBE_RET);

Same goes for DATAOF_TRACE_ENTRY().

This would make it a lot easier to understand and review, and much less
bug prone when we have to deal with two different types of
uprobe_trace_entry_head's.

OK, will do.

Or. Instead of enum we can use "bool is_return". So, instead of

	if (is_ret_probe(tu))
		size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(UPROBE_ENTRY_RETPROBE);
	else
		size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(UPROBE_ENTRY_NORMAL);

we can do

	size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(is_ret_probe(tu));

What do you like more?

Oleg.

Which ever is easier ;-)

I just hated the magic "1" and "2". As long as I (or any reviewer) does
not need to go searching for numbers, and can easily figure out what is
going on by looking at the code at hand, I'm happy.

Both the above satisfy that requirement.

Your "is_ret_probe(tu)" may have the added bonus of being less error
prone.

Thanks,

OK, please see v2.

Change SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY/DATAOF_TRACE_ENTRY to accept "bool is_return"
rather than "int nr".

Srikar, I preserved your acks, hopefully this is fine. But 4/7 still
doesn't have your ack.

[PATCH v2 1/7] uprobes/tracing: Generalize struct uprobe_trace_entry_head

[Oleg Nesterov]

struct uprobe_trace_entry_head has a single member for reporting,
"unsigned long ip". If we want to support uretprobes we need to
create another struct which has "func" and "ret_ip" and duplicate
a lot of functions, like trace_kprobe.c does.

To avoid this copy-and-paste horror we turn ->ip into ->vaddr[]
and add couple of trivial helpers to calculate sizeof/data. This
uglifies the code a bit, but this allows us to avoid a lot more
complications later, when we add the support for ret-probes.

[PATCH v2 2/7] uprobes/tracing: Introduce uprobe_{trace,perf}_print() helpers

[Oleg Nesterov]

Extract the output code from uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func()
into the new helpers, they will be used by ->ret_handler() too. We also
add the unused "unsigned long func" argument in advance, to simplify the
next changes.

[PATCH v2 3/7] uprobes/tracing: Introduce is_ret_probe() and uretprobe_dispatcher()

[Oleg Nesterov]

Create the new functions we need to support uretprobes, and change
alloc_trace_uprobe() to initialize consumer.ret_handler if the new
"is_ret" argument is true. Curently this argument is always false,
so the new code is never called and is_ret_probe(tu) is false too.

[Oleg Nesterov]

Change uprobe_trace_print() and uprobe_perf_print() to check
is_ret_probe() and fill ring_buffer_event accordingly.

Also change uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func() to not
_print() if is_ret_probe() is true. Note that we keep ->handler()
nontrivial even for uretprobe, we need this for filtering and for
other potential extensions.

And the rest of the necessary changes to support uretprobes.

To remind, this is on top of Anton's uretprobes implementation which is
not finished yet. This series can't be even compiled, but I think it can
be already reviewed. All it needs to compile is the new
uprobe_consumer->ret_handler().

[PATCH 1/6] uprobes/tracing: Introduce uprobe_{trace,perf}_print() helpers

[Oleg Nesterov]

Extract the output code from uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func()
into the new helpers, they will be used by ->ret_handler() too. We also
add the unused "unsigned long func" argument in advance, to simplify the
next changes.

[PATCH 2/6] uprobes/tracing: Introduce is_ret_probe() and uretprobe_dispatcher()

[Oleg Nesterov]

Create the new functions we need to support uretprobes, and change
alloc_trace_uprobe() to initialize consumer.ret_handler if the new
"is_ret" argument is true. Curently this argument is always false,
so the new code is never called and is_ret_probe(tu) is false too.

[PATCH 3/6] uprobes/tracing: Make uprobe_{trace,perf}_print() uretprobe-friendly

[Oleg Nesterov]

Change uprobe_trace_print() and uprobe_perf_print() to check
is_ret_probe() and fill ring_buffer_event accordingly.

Also change uprobe_trace_func() and uprobe_perf_func() to not
_print() if is_ret_probe() is true. Note that we keep ->handler()
nontrivial even for uretprobe, we need this for filtering and for
other potential extensions.

One nit:
Here and couple of places below .. we could check for func instead of
is_ret_probe() right?
Or is there an advantage of checking is_ret_probe() over func?

Should this hunk be in the previous patch?

Also something for the future:
Most times a user uses a return probe, the user probably wants to probe
the function entry too. So should we extend the abi from p+r to
p+r+..<something else> to mean it traces both function entry and return.
Esp given that uretprobe has been elegantly been designed to make this a
possibility.

Yes we could. And note that we do not really need both uprobe_trace_func()
and uretprobe_perf_func(), we could use a single function and check "func".

But:

> Or is there an advantage of checking is_ret_probe() over func?

I believe yes. Firstly, we can't use 0ul as "invalid func address" to detect
the !is_ret_probe() case, we need, say, -1ul which probably needs a symbolic
name. In fact, I'd prefer to add another "is_return" argument if we want to
avoid is_ret_probe() and unify 2 functions.

But more importantly, I think that is_ret_probe() is much more grep-friendly
and thus more understandable and consistent with other checks which can not
rely on "func".

Well, I dunno. Even if this hunk goes into the previous patch it won't
make the "print" logic correct until we change uprobe_trace_print(), iow
to me this logically connects to uprobe_trace_print() changed by this patch.

And correctness-wise this doesn't matter, until 6/6 make is_ret_probe() == T
possible we should not worry about the "missed" is_ret_probe() checks.

Oh, perhaps, but this is really for the future. In particular, it is not
clear how we can specify normal-fetchargs + ret-fetchargs.

Again, having an enum for 1 and 2 would make this much more readable:

	if (is_ret_probe(tu))
		size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(UPROBE_ENTRY_RETPROBE);
	else
		size = SIZEOF_TRACE_ENTRY(UPROBE_ENTRY_NORMAL);

[PATCH 6/6] uprobes/tracing: Change create_trace_uprobe() to support uretprobes

[Oleg Nesterov]

Finally change create_trace_uprobe() to check if argv[0][0] == 'r'
and pass the correct "is_ret" to alloc_trace_uprobe().
