From 395b97a3aeff0b8d949ee3e67bf8c11c5ffd6861 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:31:28 -0400 Subject: ftrace: Do not call stub functions in control loop The function tracing control loop used by perf spits out a warning if the called function is not a control function. This is because the control function references a per cpu allocated data structure on struct ftrace_ops that is not allocated for other types of functions. commit 0a016409e42 "ftrace: Optimize the function tracer list loop" Had an optimization done to all function tracing loops to optimize for a single registered ops. Unfortunately, this allows for a slight race when tracing starts or ends, where the stub function might be called after the current registered ops is removed. In this case we get the following dump: root# perf stat -e ftrace:function sleep 1 [ 74.339105] WARNING: at include/linux/ftrace.h:209 ftrace_ops_control_func+0xde/0xf0() [ 74.349522] Hardware name: PRIMERGY RX200 S6 [ 74.357149] Modules linked in: sg igb iTCO_wdt ptp pps_core iTCO_vendor_support i7core_edac dca lpc_ich i2c_i801 coretemp edac_core crc32c_intel mfd_core ghash_clmulni_intel dm_multipath acpi_power_meter pcspk r microcode vhost_net tun macvtap macvlan nfsd kvm_intel kvm auth_rpcgss nfs_acl lockd sunrpc uinput xfs libcrc32c sd_mod crc_t10dif sr_mod cdrom mgag200 i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper ttm qla2xxx mptsas ahci drm li bahci scsi_transport_sas mptscsih libata scsi_transport_fc i2c_core mptbase scsi_tgt dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_mod [ 74.446233] Pid: 1377, comm: perf Tainted: G W 3.9.0-rc1 #1 [ 74.453458] Call Trace: [ 74.456233] [] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0xc0 [ 74.462997] [] ? rcu_note_context_switch+0xa0/0xa0 [ 74.470272] [] ? __unregister_ftrace_function+0xa2/0x1a0 [ 74.478117] [] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [ 74.484681] [] ftrace_ops_control_func+0xde/0xf0 [ 74.491760] [] ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.497511] [] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.503486] [] ? ftrace_call+0x5/0x2f [ 74.509500] [] ? synchronize_sched+0x5/0x50 [ 74.516088] [] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.522268] [] ? synchronize_sched+0x5/0x50 [ 74.528837] [] ? __unregister_ftrace_function+0xa2/0x1a0 [ 74.536696] [] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.542878] [] ? mutex_lock+0x1d/0x50 [ 74.548869] [] unregister_ftrace_function+0x27/0x50 [ 74.556243] [] perf_ftrace_event_register+0x9f/0x140 [ 74.563709] [] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.569887] [] ? mutex_lock+0x1d/0x50 [ 74.575898] [] perf_trace_destroy+0x2e/0x50 [ 74.582505] [] tp_perf_event_destroy+0x9/0x10 [ 74.589298] [] free_event+0x70/0x1a0 [ 74.595208] [] perf_event_release_kernel+0x69/0xa0 [ 74.602460] [] ? _cond_resched+0x5/0x40 [ 74.608667] [] put_event+0x90/0xc0 [ 74.614373] [] perf_release+0x10/0x20 [ 74.620367] [] __fput+0xf4/0x280 [ 74.625894] [] ____fput+0xe/0x10 [ 74.631387] [] task_work_run+0xa7/0xe0 [ 74.637452] [] do_notify_resume+0x71/0xb0 [ 74.643843] [] int_signal+0x12/0x17 To fix this a new ftrace_ops flag is added that denotes the ftrace_list_end ftrace_ops stub as just that, a stub. This flag is now checked in the control loop and the function is not called if the flag is set. Thanks to Jovi for not just reporting the bug, but also pointing out where the bug was in the code.
