[PATCH v2 0/9] arm64: stacktrace: unify unwind code

[PATCH v2 0/9] arm64: stacktrace: unify unwind code

[Mark Rutland]

For historical reasons arm64 has a number of open-coded unwind functions. We'd
like to unify these to reduce the amount of unwind code we have to expose, and
to make it easier for subsequent patches to rework the unwind code for
RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.

These patches unify the various unwinders using arch_stack_walk(). So that we
can use arch_stack_walk() without having to expose /proc/${PID}/stack, I've
picked Peter's patch decoupling ARCH_STACKWALK from STACKTRACE, which was
previously posted at:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211022152104.356586621@infradead.org/

As the direction of travel seems to be to not unify the get_wchan()
implementations, Peter suggested I pick the patch for now. This is the only
patch in the series touching other architectures.

The bulk of the series was perviously posted in Madhavan's series adding
reliability checks to the unwinder:

  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20211015025847.17694-1-madvenka@linux.microsoft.com/

I have made some minor tweaks and updated each commit message to explain why
the transformation is safe. Largely the changes should have no functional
effect, but in a couple of cases there is a (benign and/or desirable)
functional change, which is described in the relevant commit message.

To make it possible for get_wchan() to use arch_stack_walk(), and to correct
the expected behaviour of stack_trace_consume_entry_nosched() and
stack_trace_save_tsk(), we need to mark arm64's __switch_to() as __sched, for
which I've added a preparatory patch.

Since v1 [1]:
* Add necessary includes of <linux/stacktrace.h>
* Remove unnecessary includes of <asm/stacktrace.h>
* Rebase to v5.16-rc3

[Mark Rutland]

We added stack_info::kr_cur in commit:

  cd9bc2c9258816dc ("arm64: Recover kretprobe modified return address in stacktrace")

... but didn't add anything in the corresponding comment block.

For consistency, add a corresponding comment.

[PATCH v2 3/9] arm64: Mark __switch_to() as __sched

[Mark Rutland]

Unlike most architectures (and only in keeping with powerpc), arm64 has
a non __sched() function on the path to our cpu_switch_to() assembly
function.

It is expected that for a blocked task, in_sched_functions() can be used
to skip all functions between the raw context switch assembly and the
scheduler functions that call into __switch_to(). This is the behaviour
expected by stack_trace_consume_entry_nosched(), and the behaviour we'd
like to have such that we an simplify arm64's __get_wchan()
implementation to use arch_stack_walk().

This patch mark's arm64's __switch_to as __sched. This *will not* change
the behaviour of arm64's current __get_wchan() implementation, which
always performs an initial unwind step which skips __switch_to(). This
*will* change the behaviour of stack_trace_consume_entry_nosched() and
stack_trace_save_tsk() to match their expected behaviour on blocked
tasks, skipping all scheduler-internal functions including
__switch_to().

Other than the above, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.

[PATCH v2 4/9] arm64: Make perf_callchain_kernel() use arch_stack_walk()

[Mark Rutland]

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@linux.microsoft.com>

To enable RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH on arm64, we need to
substantially rework arm64's unwinding code. As part of this, we want to
minimize the set of unwind interfaces we expose, and avoid open-coding
of unwind logic outside of stacktrace.c.

Currently perf_callchain_kernel() walks the stack of an interrupted
context by calling start_backtrace() with the context's PC and FP, and
iterating unwind steps using walk_stackframe(). This is functionally
equivalent to calling arch_stack_walk() with the interrupted context's
pt_regs, which will start with the PC and FP from the regs.

Make perf_callchain_kernel() use arch_stack_walk(). This simplifies
perf_callchain_kernel(), and in future will alow us to make
walk_stackframe() private to stacktrace.c.

At the same time, we update the callchain_trace() callback to check the
return value of perf_callchain_store(), which indicates whether there is
space for any further entries. When a non-zero value is returned,
further calls will be ignored, and are redundant, so we can stop the
unwind at this point.

We also remove the stale and confusing comment for callchain_trace.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

[PATCH v2 5/9] arm64: Make __get_wchan() use arch_stack_walk()

[Mark Rutland]

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@linux.microsoft.com>

To enable RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH on arm64, we need to
substantially rework arm64's unwinding code. As part of this, we want to
minimize the set of unwind interfaces we expose, and avoid open-coding
of unwind logic outside of stacktrace.c.

Currently, __get_wchan() walks the stack of a blocked task by calling
start_backtrace() with the task's saved PC and FP values, and iterating
unwind steps using unwind_frame(). The initialization is functionally
equivalent to calling arch_stack_walk() with the blocked task, which
will start with the task's saved PC and FP values.

Currently __get_wchan() always performs an initial unwind step, which
will stkip __switch_to(), but as this is now marked as a __sched
function, this no longer needs special handling and will be skipped in
the same way as other sched functions.

Make __get_wchan() use arch_stack_walk(). This simplifies __get_wchan(),
and in future will alow us to make unwind_frame() private to
stacktrace.c. At the same time, we can simplify the try_get_task_stack()
check and avoid the unnecessary `stack_page` variable.

The change to the skipping logic means we may terminate one frame
earlier than previously where there are an excessive number of sched
functions in the trace, but this isn't seen in practice, and wchan is
best-effort anyway, so this should not be a problem.

Other than the above, there should be no functional change as a result
of this patch.

[PATCH v2 6/9] arm64: Make return_address() use arch_stack_walk()

[Mark Rutland]

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@linux.microsoft.com>

To enable RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH on arm64, we need to
substantially rework arm64's unwinding code. As part of this, we want to
minimize the set of unwind interfaces we expose, and avoid open-coding
of unwind logic outside of stacktrace.c.

Currently return_address() walks the stack of the current task by
calling start_backtrace() with return_address as the PC and the frame
pointer of return_address() as the next frame, iterating unwind steps
using walk_stackframe(). This is functionally equivalent to calling
arch_stack_walk() for the current stack, which will start from its
caller (i.e. return_address()) as the PC and it's caller's frame record
as the next frame.

Make return_address() use arch_stackwalk(). This simplifies
return_address(), and in future will alow us to make walk_stackframe()
private to stacktrace.c.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

[PATCH v2 7/9] arm64: Make profile_pc() use arch_stack_walk()

[Mark Rutland]

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@linux.microsoft.com>

To enable RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH on arm64, we need to
substantially rework arm64's unwinding code. As part of this, we want to
minimize the set of unwind interfaces we expose, and avoid open-coding
of unwind logic outside of stacktrace.c.

Currently profile_pc() walks the stack of an interrupted context by
calling start_backtrace() with the context's PC and FP, and iterating
unwind steps using walk_stackframe(). This is functionally equivalent to
calling arch_stack_walk() with the interrupted context's pt_regs, which
will start with the PC and FP from the regs.

Make profile_pc() use arch_stack_walk(). This simplifies profile_pc(),
and in future will alow us to make walk_stackframe() private to
stacktrace.c.

At the same time, we remove the early return for when regs->pc is not in
lock functions, as this will be handled by the first call to the
profile_pc_cb() callback.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

[PATCH v2 8/9] arm64: Make dump_backtrace() use arch_stack_walk()

[Mark Rutland]

From: "Madhavan T. Venkataraman" <madvenka@linux.microsoft.com>

To enable RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and LIVEPATCH on arm64, we need to
substantially rework arm64's unwinding code. As part of this, we want to
minimize the set of unwind interfaces we expose, and avoid open-coding
of unwind logic.

Currently, dump_backtrace() walks the stack of the current task or a
blocked task by calling stact_backtrace() and iterating unwind steps
using unwind_frame(). This can be written more simply in terms of
arch_stack_walk(), considering three distinct cases:

1) When unwinding a blocked task, start_backtrace() is called with the
   blocked task's saved PC and FP, and the unwind proceeds immediately
   from this point without skipping any entries. This is functionally
   equivalent to calling arch_stack_walk() with the blocked task, which
   will start with the task's saved PC and FP.

   There is no functional change to this case.

2) When unwinding the current task without regs, start_backtrace() is
   called with dump_backtrace() as the PC and __builtin_frame_address(0)
   as the next frame, and the unwind proceeds immediately without
   skipping. This is *almost* functionally equivalent to calling
   arch_stack_walk() for the current task, which will start with its
   caller (i.e. an offset into dump_backtrace()) as the PC, and the
   callers frame record as the next frame.

   The only difference being that dump_backtrace() will be reported with
   an offset (which is strictly more correct than currently). Otherwise
   there is no functional cahnge to this case.

3) When unwinding the current task with regs, start_backtrace() is
   called with dump_backtrace() as the PC and __builtin_frame_address(0)
   as the next frame, and the unwind is performed silently until the
   next frame is the frame pointed to by regs->fp. Reporting starts
   from regs->pc and continues from the frame in regs->fp.

   Historically, this pre-unwind was necessary to correctly record
   return addresses rewritten by the ftrace graph calller, but this is
   no longer necessary as these are now recovered using the FP since
   commit:

   c6d3cd32fd0064af ("arm64: ftrace: use HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR")

   This pre-unwind is not necessary to recover return addresses
   rewritten by kretprobes, which historically were not recovered, and
   are now recovered using the FP since commit:

   cd9bc2c9258816dc ("arm64: Recover kretprobe modified return address in stacktrace")

   Thus, this is functionally equivalent to calling arch_stack_walk()
   with the current task and regs, which will start with regs->pc as the
   PC and regs->fp as the next frame, without a pre-unwind.

This patch makes dump_backtrace() use arch_stack_walk(). This simplifies
dump_backtrace() and will permit subsequent changes to the unwind code.

Aside from the improved reporting when unwinding current without regs,
there should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

[PATCH v2 9/9] arm64: Make some stacktrace functions private

[Mark Rutland]

Now that open-coded stack unwinds have been converted to
arch_stack_walk(), we no longer need to expose any of unwind_frame(),
walk_stackframe(), or start_backtrace() outside of stacktrace.c.

Make those functions private to stacktrace.c, removing their prototypes
from <asm/stacktrace.h> and marking them static.
