When working on my user space applications, I found a bug in the synthetic event code where the automated synthetic event field was not matching the event field calculation it was attached to. Looking deeper into it, it was because the calculation hist_field was not given a size. The synthetic event fields are matched to their hist_fields either by having the field have an identical string type, or if that does not match, then the size and signed values are used to match the fields. The problem arose when I tried to match a calculation where the fields were "unsigned int". My tool created a synthetic event of type "u32". But it failed to match. The string was: diff=field1-field2:onmatch(event).trace(synth,$diff) Adding debugging into the kernel, I found that the size of "diff" was 0. And since it was given "unsigned int" as a type, the histogram fallback code used size and signed. The signed matched, but the size of u32 (4) did not match zero, and the event failed to be created. This can be worse if the field you want to match is not one of the acceptable fields for a synthetic event. As event fields can have any type that is supported in Linux, this can cause an issue. For example, if a type is an enum. Then there's no way to use that with any calculations. Have the calculation field simply take on the size of what it is calculating.

alloc_synth_event() currently has the following code to initialize the event fields and dynamic_fields: for (i = 0, j = 0; i < n_fields; i++) { event->fields[i] = fields[i]; if (fields[i]->is_dynamic) { event->dynamic_fields[j] = fields[i]; event->dynamic_fields[j]->field_pos = i; event->dynamic_fields[j++] = fields[i]; event->n_dynamic_fields++; } } 1) It would make more sense to have all fields keep track of their field_pos. 2) event->dynmaic_fields[j] is assigned twice for no reason. 3) We can move updating event->n_dynamic_fields outside the loop, and just assign it to j. This combination makes the code much cleaner. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210721195341.29bb0f77@oasis.local.home Signed-off-by: -

Currently the histogram logic allows the user to write "cpu" in as an event field, and it will record the CPU that the event happened on. The problem with this is that there's a lot of events that have "cpu" as a real field, and using "cpu" as the CPU it ran on, makes it impossible to run histograms on the "cpu" field of events. For example, if I want to have a histogram on the count of the workqueue_queue_work event on its cpu field, running: ># echo 'hist:keys=cpu' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger Gives a misleading and wrong result. Change the command to "common_cpu" as no event should have "common_*" fields as that's a reserved name for fields used by all events. And this makes sense here as common_cpu would be a field used by all events. Now we can even do: ># echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu if cpu < 100' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger ># cat events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/hist # event histogram # # trigger info: hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if cpu < 100 [active] # { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 7, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 1 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 2 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 2 { common_cpu: 1, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 4 { common_cpu: 6, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 4 { common_cpu: 5, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 14 { common_cpu: 4, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 26 { common_cpu: 0, cpu: 0 } hitcount: 39 { common_cpu: 2, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 184 Now for backward compatibility, I added a trick. If "cpu" is used, and the field is not found, it will fall back to "common_cpu" and work as it did before. This way, it will still work for old programs that use "cpu" to get the actual CPU, but if the event has a "cpu" as a field, it will get that event's "cpu" field, which is probably what it wants anyway. I updated the tracefs/README to include documentation about both the common_timestamp and the common_cpu. This way, if that text is present in the README, then an application can know that common_cpu is supported over just plain "cpu".

The "rb_per_cpu_empty()" misinterpret the condition (as not-empty) when "head_page" and "commit_page" of "struct ring_buffer_per_cpu" points to the same buffer page, whose "buffer_data_page" is empty and "read" field is non-zero. An error scenario could be constructed as followed (kernel perspective): 1. All pages in the buffer has been accessed by reader(s) so that all of them will have non-zero "read" field. 2. Read and clear all buffer pages so that "rb_num_of_entries()" will return 0 rendering there's no more data to read. It is also required that the "read_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same page, while "head_page" is the next page of them. 3. Invoke "ring_buffer_lock_reserve()" with large enough "length" so that it shot pass the end of current tail buffer page. Now the "head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to the same page. 4. Discard current event with "ring_buffer_discard_commit()", so that "head_page", "commit_page" and "tail_page" points to a page whose buffer data page is now empty. When the error scenario has been constructed, "tracing_read_pipe" will be trapped inside a deadloop: "trace_empty()" returns 0 since "rb_per_cpu_empty()" returns 0 when it hits the CPU containing such constructed ring buffer. Then "trace_find_next_entry_inc()" always return NULL since "rb_num_of_entries()" reports there's no more entry to read. Finally "trace_seq_to_user()" returns "-EBUSY" spanking "tracing_read_pipe" back to the start of the "waitagain" loop. I've also written a proof-of-concept script to construct the scenario and trigger the bug automatically, you can use it to trace and validate my reasoning above: https://github.com/aegistudio/RingBufferDetonator.git Tests has been carried out on linux kernel 5.14-rc2 (2734d6c1), my fixed version of kernel (for testing whether my update fixes the bug) and some older kernels (for range of affected kernels). Test result is also attached to the proof-of-concept repository.

With the addition of simple mathematical operations (plus and minus), the parsing of the "sym-offset" modifier broke, as it took the '-' part of the "sym-offset" as a minus, and tried to break it up into a mathematical operation of "field.sym - offset", in which case it failed to parse (unless the event had a field called "offset"). Both .sym and .sym-offset modifiers should not be entered into mathematical calculations anyway. If ".sym-offset" is found in the modifier, then simply make it not an operation that can be calculated on.

Currently tgid_map is sized at PID_MAX_DEFAULT entries, which means that on systems where pid_max is configured higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT the ftrace record-tgid option doesn't work so well. Any tasks with PIDs higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT are simply not recorded in tgid_map, and don't show up in the saved_tgids file. In particular since systemd v243 & above configure pid_max to its highest possible 1<<22 value by default on 64 bit systems this renders the record-tgids option of little use. Increase the size of tgid_map to the configured pid_max instead, allowing it to cover the full range of PIDs up to the maximum value of PID_MAX_LIMIT if the system is configured that way. On 64 bit systems with pid_max == PID_MAX_LIMIT this will increase the size of tgid_map from 256KiB to 16MiB. Whilst this 64x increase in memory overhead sounds significant 64 bit systems are presumably best placed to accommodate it, and since tgid_map is only allocated when the record-tgid option is actually used presumably the user would rather it spends sufficient memory to actually record the tgids they expect. The size of tgid_map could also increase for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=y configurations, but these seem unlikely to be systems upon which people are both configuring a large pid_max and running ftrace with record-tgid anyway. Of note is that we only allocate tgid_map once, the first time that the record-tgid option is enabled. Therefore its size is only set once, to the value of pid_max at the time the record-tgid option is first enabled. If a user increases pid_max after that point, the saved_tgids file will not contain entries for any tasks with pids beyond the earlier value of pid_max.

The tgid_map array records a mapping from pid to tgid, where the index of an entry within the array is the pid & the value stored at that index is the tgid. The saved_tgids_next() function iterates over pointers into the tgid_map array & dereferences the pointers which results in the tgid, but then it passes that dereferenced value to trace_find_tgid() which treats it as a pid & does a further lookup within the tgid_map array. It seems likely that the intent here was to skip over entries in tgid_map for which the recorded tgid is zero, but instead we end up skipping over entries for which the thread group leader hasn't yet had its own tgid recorded in tgid_map. A minimal fix would be to remove the call to trace_find_tgid, turning: if (trace_find_tgid(*ptr)) into: if (*ptr) ..but it seems like this logic can be much simpler if we simply let seq_read() iterate over the whole tgid_map array & filter out empty entries by returning SEQ_SKIP from saved_tgids_show(). Here we take that approach, removing the incorrect logic here entirely.

All internal use cases for tracepoint_probe_register() is set to not ever be called with the same function and data. If it is, it is considered a bug, as that means the accounting of handling tracepoints is corrupted. If the function and data for a tracepoint is already registered when tracepoint_probe_register() is called, it will call WARN_ON_ONCE() and return with EEXISTS. The BPF system call can end up calling tracepoint_probe_register() with the same data, which now means that this can trigger the warning because of a user space process. As WARN_ON_ONCE() should not be called because user space called a system call with bad data, there needs to be a way to register a tracepoint without triggering a warning. Enter tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist(), which can be called, but will not cause a WARN_ON() if the probe already exists. It will still error out with EEXIST, which will then be sent to the user space that performed the BPF system call. This keeps the previous testing for issues with other users of the tracepoint code, while letting BPF call it with duplicated data and not warn about it.

Certain uses of "do once" functionality reside outside of fast path, and so do not require jump label patching via static keys, making existing DO_ONCE undesirable in such cases. Replace uses of __section(".data.once") with DO_ONCE_LITE(_IF)? This patch changes the return values of xfs_printk_once, printk_once, and printk_deferred_once. Before, they returned whether the print was performed, but now, they always return true. This is okay because the return values of the following macros are entirely ignored throughout the kernel: - xfs_printk_once - xfs_warn_once - xfs_notice_once - xfs_info_once - printk_once - pr_emerg_once - pr_alert_once - pr_crit_once - pr_err_once - pr_warn_once - pr_notice_once - pr_info_once - pr_devel_once - pr_debug_once - printk_deferred_once - orc_warn Changes v3: - Expand commit message to explain why changing return values of xfs_printk_once, printk_once, printk_deferred_once is benign v2: - Fix i386 build warnings Signed-off-by:Tanner Love <tannerlove@google.com> Acked-by:

The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers to found souces of wakeup latencies of real-time threads. Like cyclictest, the tracer sets a periodic timer that wakes up a thread. The thread then computes a *wakeup latency* value as the difference between the *current time* and the *absolute time* that the timer was set to expire. The main goal of timerlat is tracing in such a way to help kernel developers. Usage Write the ASCII text "timerlat" into the current_tracer file of the tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing). For example: [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ [root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file: [root@f32 tracing]# cat trace # tracer: timerlat # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # || / # |||| ACTIVATION # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP ID CONTEXT LATENCY # | | | |||| | | | | <idle>-0 [000] d.h1 54.029328: #1 context irq timer_latency 932 ns <...>-867 [000] .... 54.029339: #1 context thread timer_latency 11700 ns <idle>-0 [001] dNh1 54.029346: #1 context irq timer_latency 2833 ns <...>-868 [001] .... 54.029353: #1 context thread timer_latency 9820 ns <idle>-0 [000] d.h1 54.030328: #2 context irq timer_latency 769 ns <...>-867 [000] .... 54.030330: #2 context thread timer_latency 3070 ns <idle>-0 [001] d.h1 54.030344: #2 context irq timer_latency 935 ns <...>-868 [001] .... 54.030347: #2 context thread timer_latency 4351 ns The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority that prints two lines at every activation. The first is the *timer latency* observed at the *hardirq* context before the activation of the thread. The second is the *timer latency* observed by the thread, which is the same level that cyclictest reports. The ACTIVATION ID field serves to relate the *irq* execution to its respective *thread* execution. The irq/thread splitting is important to clarify at which context the unexpected high value is coming from. The *irq* context can be delayed by hardware related actions, such as SMIs, NMIs, IRQs or by a thread masking interrupts. Once the timer happens, the delay can also be influenced by blocking caused by threads. For example, by postponing the scheduler execution via preempt_disable(), by the scheduler execution, or by masking interrupts. Threads can also be delayed by the interference from other threads and IRQs. The timerlat can also take advantage of the osnoise: traceevents. For example: [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ [root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer [root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > set_event [root@f32 tracing]# echo 25 > osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us [root@f32 tracing]# tail -10 trace cc1-87882 [005] d..h... 548.771078: #402268 context irq timer_latency 1585 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh1.. 548.771082: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 548.771077442 duration 4597 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771083: irq_noise: reschedule:253 start 548.771083017 duration 56 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771086: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771083811 duration 2048 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771088: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771086814 duration 1495 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771091: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771089194 duration 1558 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771094: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771091719 duration 1932 ns cc1-87882 [005] dNLh2.. 548.771096: irq_noise: call_function_single:251 start 548.771094696 duration 1050 ns cc1-87882 [005] d...3.. 548.771101: thread_noise: cc1:87882 start 548.771078243 duration 10909 ns timerlat/5-1035 [005] ....... 548.771103: #402268 context thread timer_latency 25960 ns For further information see: Documentation/trace/timerlat-tracer.rst Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/71f18efc013e1194bcaea1e54db957de2b19ba62.1624372313.git.bristot@redhat.com Cc: Phil Auld <pauld@redhat.com> Cc: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Cc: Kate Carcia <kcarcia@redhat.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Alexandre Chartre <alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> Cc: Clark Willaims <williams@redhat.com> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Cc: Juri Lelli <juri.lelli@redhat.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: "H.

In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating System Noise (*osnoise*) refers to the interference experienced by an application due to activities inside the operating system. In the context of Linux, NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread can cause noise to the system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can also cause noise, for example, via SMIs. The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all the sources of *osnoise* during its execution. Using the same approach of hwlat, osnoise takes note of the entry and exit point of any source of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source of interference. The interference counter for NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and threads is increased anytime the tool observes these interferences' entry events. When a noise happens without any interference from the operating system level, the hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a hardware-related noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any source of interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer prints the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources. Usage Write the ASCII text "osnoise" into the current_tracer file of the tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing). For example:: [root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/ [root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > current_tracer It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file:: [root@f32 tracing]# cat trace # tracer: osnoise # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth MAX # || / SINGLE Interference counters: # |||| RUNTIME NOISE % OF CPU NOISE +-----------------------------+ # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP IN US IN US AVAILABLE IN US HW NMI IRQ SIRQ THREAD # | | | |||| | | | | | | | | | | <...>-859 [000] .... 81.637220: 1000000 190 99.98100 9 18 0 1007 18 1 <...>-860 [001] .... 81.638154: 1000000 656 99.93440 74 23 0 1006 16 3 <...>-861 [002] .... 81.638193: 1000000 5675 99.43250 202 6 0 1013 25 21 <...>-862 [003] .... 81.638242: 1000000 125 99.98750 45 1 0 1011 23 0 <...>-863 [004] .... 81.638260: 1000000 1721 99.82790 168 7 0 1002 49 41 <...>-864 [005] .... 81.638286: 1000000 263 99.97370 57 6 0 1006 26 2 <...>-865 [006] .... 81.638302: 1000000 109 99.98910 21 3 0 1006 18 1 <...>-866 [007] .... 81.638326: 1000000 7816 99.21840 107 8 0 1016 39 19 In addition to the regular trace fields (from TASK-PID to TIMESTAMP), the tracer prints a message at the end of each period for each CPU that is running an osnoise/CPU thread. The osnoise specific fields report: - The RUNTIME IN USE reports the amount of time in microseconds that the osnoise thread kept looping reading the time. - The NOISE IN US reports the sum of noise in microseconds observed by the osnoise tracer during the associated runtime. - The % OF CPU AVAILABLE reports the percentage of CPU available for the osnoise thread during the runtime window. - The MAX SINGLE NOISE IN US reports the maximum single noise observed during the runtime window. - The Interference counters display how many each of the respective interference happened during the runtime window. Note that the example above shows a high number of HW noise samples. The reason being is that this sample was taken on a virtual machine, and the host interference is detected as a hardware interference. Tracer options The tracer has a set of options inside the osnoise directory, they are: - osnoise/cpus: CPUs at which a osnoise thread will execute. - osnoise/period_us: the period of the osnoise thread. - osnoise/runtime_us: how long an osnoise thread will look for noise. - osnoise/stop_tracing_us: stop the system tracing if a single noise higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this option. - osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us: stop the system tracing if total noise higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this option. - tracing_threshold: the minimum delta between two time() reads to be considered as noise, in us. When set to 0, the default value will be used, which is currently 5 us. Additional Tracing In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to facilitate the identification of the osnoise source. - osnoise:sample_threshold: printed anytime a noise is higher than the configurable tolerance_ns. - osnoise:nmi_noise: noise from NMI, including the duration. - osnoise:irq_noise: noise from an IRQ, including the duration. - osnoise:softirq_noise: noise from a SoftIRQ, including the duration. - osnoise:thread_noise: noise from a thread, including the duration. Note that all the values are *net values*. For example, if while osnoise is running, another thread preempts the osnoise thread, it will start a thread_noise duration at the start. Then, an IRQ takes place, preempting the thread_noise, starting a irq_noise. When the IRQ ends its execution, it will compute its duration, and this duration will be subtracted from the thread_noise, in such a way as to avoid the double accounting of the IRQ execution. This logic is valid for all sources of noise. Here is one example of the usage of these tracepoints:: osnoise/8-961 [008] d.h. 5789.857532: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.857529929 duration 1845 ns osnoise/8-961 [008] dNh. 5789.858408: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.858404871 duration 2848 ns migration/8-54 [008] d... 5789.858413: thread_noise: migration/8:54 start 5789.858409300 duration 3068 ns osnoise/8-961 [008] .... 5789.858413: sample_threshold: start 5789.858404555 duration 8723 ns interferences 2 In this example, a noise sample of 8 microseconds was reported in the last line, pointing to two interferences. Looking backward in the trace, the two previous entries were about the migration thread running after a timer IRQ execution. The first event is not part of the noise because it took place one millisecond before. It is worth noticing that the sum of the duration reported in the tracepoints is smaller than eight us reported in the sample_threshold. The reason roots in the overhead of the entry and exit code that happens before and after any interference execution. This justifies the dual approach: measuring thread and tracing.

With the coming addition of the osnoise tracer, the configs needed to include the latency_fsnotify() has become more complex, and to keep the declaration in the header file the same as in the C file, just have the logic needed to define it in one place, and that defines LATENCY_FS_NOTIFY which will be used in the C code.

hwlat has some time operation checks on the sample loop, and it is currently using pr_err (printk) to report them. The problem is that this can lead the system to an unresponsible state due to an overflow of printk messages. This problem can be mitigated by writing the error message to the trace buffer. Remove the printk messages from the sampling loop, switching the to messages in the trace buffer. No functional change.

The hwlat detector and (in preparation for) the osnoise/timerlat tracers have a set of u64 parameters that the user can read/write via tracefs. For instance, we have hwlat_detector's window and width. To reduce the code duplication, hwlat's window and width share the same read function. However, they do not share the write functions because they do different parameter checks. For instance, the width needs to be smaller than the window, while the window needs to be larger than the window. The same pattern repeats on osnoise/timerlat, and a large portion of the code was devoted to the write function. Despite having different checks, the write functions have the same structure: read a user-space buffer take the lock that protects the value check for minimum and maximum acceptable values save the value release the lock return success or error To reduce the code duplication also in the write functions, this patch provides a generic read and write implementation for u64 values that need to be within some minimum and/or maximum parameters, while (potentially) being protected by a lock. To use this interface, the structure trace_min_max_param needs to be filled: struct trace_min_max_param { struct mutex *lock; u64 *val; u64 *min; u64 *max; }; The desired value is stored on the variable pointed by *val. If *min points to a minimum acceptable value, it will be checked during the write operation. Likewise, if *max points to a maximum allowable value, it will be checked during the write operation. Finally, if *lock points to a mutex, it will be taken at the beginning of the operation and released at the end. The definition of a trace_min_max_param needs to passed as the (private) *data for tracefs_create_file(), and the trace_min_max_fops (added by this patch) as the *fops file_operations.

Implements the per-cpu mode in which a sampling thread is created for each cpu in the "cpus" (and tracing_mask). The per-cpu mode has the potention to speed up the hwlat detection by running on multiple CPUs at the same time, at the cost of higher cpu usage with irqs disabled. Use with care.

When in the round-robin mode, if the tracer detects a change in the hwlatd thread affinity by an external tool, e.g., taskset, the round-robin logic is disabled. The disable_migrate variable currently tracks this. With the addition of the "mode" config and the mode "none," the disable_migrate logic is equivalent to switch to the "none" mode. Hence, instead of using a hidden variable to track this behavior, switch the mode to none, informing the user about this change.

Provides the "mode" config to the hardware latency detector. hwlatd has two different operation modes. The default mode is the "round-robin" one, in which a single hwlatd thread runs, migrating among the allowed CPUs in a "round-robin" fashion. This is the current behavior. The "none" sets the allowed cpumask for a single hwlatd thread at the startup, but skips the round-robin, letting the scheduler handle the migration. In preparation to the per-cpu mode.

The trace_clock_global() tries to make sure the events between CPUs is somewhat in order. A global value is used and updated by the latest read of a clock. If one CPU is ahead by a little, and is read by another CPU, a lock is taken, and if the timestamp of the other CPU is behind, it will simply use the other CPUs timestamp. The lock is also only taken with a "trylock" due to tracing, and strange recursions can happen. The lock is not taken at all in NMI context. In the case where the lock is not able to be taken, the non synced timestamp is returned. But it will not be less than the saved global timestamp. The problem arises because when the time goes "backwards" the time returned is the saved timestamp plus 1. If the lock is not taken, and the plus one to the timestamp is returned, there's a small race that can cause the time to go backwards! CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- trace_clock_global() { ts = clock() [ 1000 ] trylock(clock_lock) [ success ] global_ts = ts; [ 1000 ] <interrupted by NMI> trace_clock_global() { ts = clock() [ 999 ] if (ts < global_ts) ts = global_ts + 1 [ 1001 ] trylock(clock_lock) [ fail ] return ts [ 1001] } unlock(clock_lock); return ts; [ 1000 ] } trace_clock_global() { ts = clock() [ 1000 ] if (ts < global_ts) [ false 1000 == 1000 ] trylock(clock_lock) [ success ] global_ts = ts; [ 1000 ] unlock(clock_lock) return ts; [ 1000 ] } The above case shows to reads of trace_clock_global() on the same CPU, but the second read returns one less than the first read. That is, time when backwards, and this is not what is allowed by trace_clock_global(). This was triggered by heavy tracing and the ring buffer checker that tests for the clock going backwards: Ring buffer clock went backwards: 20613921464 -> 20613921463 ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 0 at kernel/trace/ring_buffer.c:3412 check_buffer+0x1b9/0x1c0 Modules linked in: [..] [CPU: 2]TIME DOES NOT MATCH expected:20620711698 actual:20620711697 delta:6790234 before:20613921463 after:20613921463 [20613915818] PAGE TIME STAMP [20613915818] delta:0 [20613915819] delta:1 [20613916035] delta:216 [20613916465] delta:430 [20613916575] delta:110 [20613916749] delta:174 [20613917248] delta:499 [20613917333] delta:85 [20613917775] delta:442 [20613917921] delta:146 [20613918321] delta:400 [20613918568] delta:247 [20613918768] delta:200 [20613919306] delta:538 [20613919353] delta:47 [20613919980] delta:627 [20613920296] delta:316 [20613920571] delta:275 [20613920862] delta:291 [20613921152] delta:290 [20613921464] delta:312 [20613921464] delta:0 TIME EXTEND [20613921464] delta:0 This happened more than once, and always for an off by one result.

A while ago, when the "trace" file was opened, tracing was stopped, and code was added to stop recording the comms to saved_cmdlines, for mapping of the pids to the task name. Code has been added that only records the comm if a trace event occurred, and there's no reason to not trace it if the trace file is opened.

The saved_cmdlines is used to map pids to the task name, such that the output of the tracing does not just show pids, but also gives a human readable name for the task. If the name is not mapped, the output looks like this: <...>-1316 [005] ...2 132.044039: ... Instead of this: gnome-shell-1316 [005] ...2 132.044039: ... The names are updated when tracing is running, but are skipped if tracing is stopped. Unfortunately, this stops the recording of the names if the top level tracer is stopped, and not if there's other tracers active. The recording of a name only happens when a new event is written into a ring buffer, so there is no need to test if tracing is on or not. If tracing is off, then no event is written and no need to test if tracing is off or not. Remove the check, as it hides the names of tasks for events in the instance buffers.
