tracing updates for v7.4:
- Add "within" to filter logic Add a way to trace events by what function they fall in. echo 'within == "vfs_read" > events/sched/sched_switch/filter Will only trigger sched_switch events that happen within the vfs_read function. It uses a stacktrace at the event and checks if any entry is within the specified function and if so, it prints the event. - Remove a duplicate definition of ftrace_set_clr_event() from the header - Do not have ftrace_set_clr_event() modify its input buffer Have the buffer passed into ftrace_set_clr_event() to be const char * and not allow modifications to it that might cause side effects. - Add kunit tests for ftrace_parse_event_string() - Add filter argument to __ftrace_set_clr_event() Make it possible to set a filter on an event at the same time it is enabled. - Add event filtering logic to the kernel command line To allow filtering events on boot, allow filtering to be specified on the kernel command line when enabling events. - Rename "ring_buffer_size()" to "ring_buffer_capacity()" "size" refers to how much is allocated whereas the actual return value is the amount of available data in the ring buffer minus its meta data. - Rename "trace_array_entries" to "trace_array_capacity" There's several functions that use "entries" and returns the amount of data that that is usable. "entries" should be only for the number of events, not the amount of data. - Print the histogram "bucket" size as unsigned. If a bucket size is LONG_MAX, then it shows up as a negative number. - Show bucket size in output of histograms The output of what the histogram is shown doesn't show the size of the buckets when buckets are used. The output should be the same as the input and since specifying buckets without a size is an invalid command, the output to display what was entered should also show the size. - Fix stacktrace modifier output Only show the stacktrace modifier when it was specified in creation. - Unregister filed variable histograms when the command fails If one histogram references a variable of another histogram it registers that other histogram. But if the first histogram fails in setup after it registered the other histogram it doesn't unregister it. Have the first histogram add the reference to the other histogram so the failure clean up will unregister the second histogram too. - Fix 64-bit signed histogram fields on 32-bit kernels A fix to convert char * to u64 with added casting also incorrectly added an intermediate cast to convert a long value to u64 which ended up truncating the upper 32 bits for 32-bit kernels. Remove the intermediate typecast. - Print signed histogram keys as signed Histogram keys were being printed as unsigned and with signed keys it was giving the wrong output. - Use copy_from_user() and not __copy_from_user() in syscall tracing The syscall tracing incorrectly was using __copy_from_user() which could be an issue if the system trusts perf doing the trace. - Take trace_types_lock when recording a new module in persistent buffer When a new module is loaded, the persistent ring buffer saves it in its persistent memory. All the trace_arrays are iterated looking for any persistent buffer to add the module to. But it did not hold the trace_types_lock meaning a trace_array could be added or removed while iterating the list. - Only create tracepoint guest_halt_poll_ns when it is used The tracepoint guest_halt_poll_ns is defined in the power management code but it is only used when CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_HALTPOLL is enabled. This wastes memory when that config isn't enabled so wrap the tracepoint around that as well. - Handle empty fields for events in trace_event_get_offsets() The user events could have empty fields and this causes trace_event_get_offsets() to crash as it expects events to always have fields. Make the function handle events with no fields. - Reject incomplete event filter expressions If a filter has an incomplete expression (common_pid == 1111 || ), it will cause a out-of-bounds bug. Have the predicate_parse() only process the expression if it is complete. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCatwDfRQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qk8TAP9buI4fQRvXGetyth9F/j8qGgTAEv19 sL5B48A/HDx2wgD+O6FcFAwwNKTjJHfHPArJUcQMp/D17rNDFSoF4T0kFQU= =F2J6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v7.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Add "within" to filter logic Add a way to trace events by what function they fall in. echo 'within == "vfs_read" > events/sched/sched_switch/filter Will only trigger sched_switch events that happen within the vfs_read function.

ftrace updates for v7.4:
- Have the stacktrace option work with func-args The func_stack_trace option has it's own ftrace handler and so does the func-args option. When they are both set, neither would run. The function tracer itself would error out. Allow the stacktrace and function args to work together. - Avoid BTF lookup in atomic context The ftrace_dump() can call function graph tracing output from an atomic context (like an NMI watchdog going off). The BTF lookup is not safe to call from atomic context. Have btf_find_func_proto() return if in atomic context. - Build trace_btf.c when CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF is enabled New code is depending on trace_btf.c but that only gets built when BPF_SYSCALL is also enabled. As the new code doesn't depend on that, have trace_btf.c get built with just DEBUG_INFO_BTF set. - Have function graph return values have BTF processing Have the return values printed by the function graph tracer use BTF to print the values in better format. For example, if it's a char, short, signed or unsigned, print according to the value defined by BTF. - Add a "max" field to the function profiler stats The function profiler shows all the functions run in the kernel, the number of times they are called, and the total time they took up. Also add a "max" field which holds the longest time a function ran for. - Fix memory leak in module with all skipped functions On module load, the ftrace entries are recorded to keep track of what functions can be traced or not. Some functions may be skipped for various reasons (some defined by the architecture). If all functions in the module are skipped, its data page is not freed and can leak. Catch this case and free the empty page. - Allow architectures to reject functions from being traced Allow architectures to skip a function address by returning zero from ftrace_call_adjust(). - Initialize modname and offset in print_rec() The variables modname and offset are initialized by kallsyms_lookup(). If that fails, the values are not set, but the code continues to print other information. The modname and offset are used later, but if the kallsyms_lookup() failed, they will not be set. If a module is being loaded and unloaded at the same time as reading the available_filter_functions file, it can cause a fault due to the lookup failing and modname and offset being used uninitialized. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCatplBBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qgAvAQD0xgDPtb6+4T9lB7ZerQwFWHZ2roO7 ghQY+yqcX8s4TwEAn7B85quPdz7XvGzQa3KeKBXMFfpogJx4vljJzpPQoAg= =SgDW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-ftrace-v7.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Have the stacktrace option work with func-args The func_stack_trace option has it's own ftrace handler and so does the func-args option.

landlock: Add documentation for capability and namespace restrictions
Document the two new Landlock permission categories, introduced with ABI 12, in the userspace API guide, admin guide, trace-event guide, UAPI comments, and kernel security documentation. The kernel security documentation generalizes the existing per-object access-rights framing into three restriction models (handled_access_*, handled_permissions, scoped) and states criteria for choosing among them, so future permission or scope additions have a documented place to land.

tracing: Update funcgraph-retval documentation
The existing documentation for funcgraph-retval is outdated and partially incorrect, as it describes limitations that have now been resolved. Recent changes (e.g., using BTF to obtain function return types) have addressed key issues: 1. Return values are now printed only for non-void functions. 2. Values are trimmed to the correct width of the return type, avoiding garbage data from high bits.

tracing: Clamp the printed end of a histogram bucket at U64_MAX
A key with the ".buckets=N" modifier is stored as the start of its bucket,
and hist_trigger_print_key() prints the range it covers as start to
start + N - 1. That addition overflows once the start is within N of
U64_MAX:
# echo 'hist:keys=offset.buckets=10' >> \
events/syscalls/sys_enter_lseek/trigger
# ./seeker 5 -1 # lseek(0, 5) and lseek(0, -1)
# cat events/syscalls/sys_enter_lseek/hist
...
{ offset: ~ 18446744073709551610-3 } hitcount: 1
{ offset: ~ 0-9 } hitcount: 1
...
18446744073709551610 + 10 - 1 does not fit in 64 bits, so the range ends
below where it starts.
The bucket does end at U64_MAX: it holds every value hist_field_bucket()
maps onto its start, and there is no value above U64_MAX. Clamp the printed
end there. Printed honestly the group is shorter than the size asked for,
which histogram.rst does not mention, so say it there.

tracing: Add "within" filter for call-stack-based event filtering
Low-level kernel functions are called from many different paths. When debugging, it is often useful to filter trace events to only those occurring within a specific call chain. Add a "within" filter predicate that tests whether a given function appears in the current call stack at event time. The function name is resolved to its address range via kallsyms during filter setup; at runtime, stack_trace_save() captures the call stack and compares each return address against the stored range. Example: echo 'within == "vfs_read"' > events/sched/sched_switch/filter Only "==" and "!=" operators are supported. The filter depends on CONFIG_STACKTRACE.

landlock: Fix tracepoint contract documentation
The tracepoint documentation claims that denial and lifecycle events
expose every input needed to reproduce a verdict. Instead document how
denial, ruleset, and domain events identify the denying policy, checked
operation and object, and reason for denial. Direct consumers to generic
tracepoints for additional operational context.
State the reconstruction limits: IDs are boot-local, rule checks have no
request ID, and exported records may be lost or cross-CPU reordered.
Also replace the incorrect BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT guidance with libbpf
SEC("tp_btf/...") attachment and refer consumers to the event prototypes
for callback argument layouts.

landlock: Fix rule tracepoint context
Name each event after the identity it reports. Add-rule events describe UAPI rule insertion, so rename them after LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH and LANDLOCK_RULE_NET_PORT. Check-rule events describe matches in internal rule trees, so rename them after LANDLOCK_KEY_INODE and LANDLOCK_KEY_NET_PORT. This remains accurate if multiple UAPI rule types share one lookup and stored rule. Keep denial event names based on filesystem and network families because they describe final access decisions. Use u64 for growable access masks passed by value to add-rule and check-rule typed BTF callbacks. CO-RE can relocate pointer-reached fields, but it cannot widen a scalar callback slot declared by a BPF program. Keep native access_mask_t for internal state and trace records. For add-rule callbacks, report the normalized per-call contribution passed to landlock_insert_rule() and expose the complete validated flags value. Put the ruleset and flags first as a common invocation prefix. This distinguishes duplicate and effective-zero additions without recovering arguments from saved syscall registers.

perf tools updates for v7.3
perf c2c:
- Add 'function view' in perf c2c report TUI (switched by pressing 'TAB'
in the cacheline view) to organize samples around functions rather than
cachelines in 3-level hierarchy:
Level 1: Read-side function (sorted by estimated Cycles %)
Level 2: Contending writer functions (sorted by Store count)
Level 3: Shared cacheline addresses
Users can navigate the entries and fold/unfold using 'e' key. An example
output would look like below:
Shared Data Functions Table (19 entries, sorted on Cycles %)
Cycles Store
% count Function / Contending function / Cacheline
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ 35.67% 876 + [k] cpupri_set
+ 24.31% 424 + [k] pull_rt_task
- 16.53% 555 - [k] dequeue_pushable_task

145 0xff2d0082809da080
139 - [k] enqueue_pushable_task
70 0xff2d00a2071f9640
69 0xff2d0082809da000
python module support:
- Extend "perf" python module so that it can be fully functional. The goal
is to run scripts directly, not by 'perf script' command. This would give
better performance as well as more control to build standalone programs
with UI.
- Add LiveSession helper (perf_live.py) to enable live event collection
directly from Python using perf.evlist and perf.parse_events.
perf stat:
- Add --hide-zero-events option to suppress zero-count events.
- Reject conflicting --field-separator and --json-output options.
- Fix duplicate event output with --for-each-cgroup.
perf sched latency:
- Add -H/--histogram and --hist-mode (log|linear) options to show scheduler
wait latency histograms.
- Add --time option to filter analysis by time span in 'perf sched latency'.
ARM CoreSight:
- Synthesize callchains for instruction samples from CoreSight trace
using thread stack ('--itrace=g...').
- Support call indentation ('perf script -F +callindent') to display call
depth hierarchy on branch samples.
- Decode ETE (Embedded Trace Extension) exception packets.
Build system:
- Add 'make install-build-deps' target to install required packages.
- Parallelize JSON and metric pre-computation in jevents.py for faster builds.
Vendor event/metric updates:
- Add Intel Nova Lake events and update tables for existing models.
- Update AMD Zen 5 and Zen 6 core events.
- Update Arm64 Tegra410 metrics and PowerPC hcalls.
Internal changes and fixes:
- Harden trace-event and synthetic event parsing against corrupted data.
- Fix unwinding of multi-threaded processes in libdw unwinder.
- Fix memory leaks in various commands and python bindings.
- Speed up 'perf test' shell tests.

ftrace updates for 7.3:
- Deprecrate ftrace_enabled in disabling ftrace The file /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled was created when ftrace was first introduced back in 2008. It was to be a "kill switch" if something was to go wrong. It was also used as a way to turn off function tracing for the latency tracers that would have it on by default. But in 2013 (Linux 3.10) the option "function-trace" was introduced to disable function tracing for the latency tracers as the "ftrace_enabled" file was considered too big of a hammer and caused too many side effects. When live kernel patching came along, disabling ftrace via the ftrace_enabled file would put the system into an unstable state if a live kernel patch was installed. This created the need to mark some function hooks as "PERMANENT". Now there's a need for BPF usage marked as PERMANENT for the same reasons. The file "ftrace_enabled" usage is no longer viable. It doesn't do what it says it does and there is no reason to use it. Make writing '0' to it a nop and print a message saying its usage is deprecated. The return value of writing '0' is -EOPNOTSUPP so that user space will error on that write (hopefully to inform any developer that it no longer works). Eventually the file should be removed completely, but for now just making it not do anything is the path forward to that. - Update the livepatch tests to handle ftrace_enabled being disabled Because in the past, livepatch was broken by ftrace_enabled being turned off, there's a test case that checks to make sure it still doesn't break. But having the write of '0' return an error caused that test to break. Updated the test to handle the new change. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCan9buBQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qkrAAP9lStpPUUVGUVprdRttG8tv4LlSMqX3 +A5WdksIKD+XMAD+ODdXKQkjynRpTf9YnIV3PXNg6Adi3ItOXG1+UsbWGQY= =QLhM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ftrace-v7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Deprecrate ftrace_enabled in disabling ftrace The file /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled was created when ftrace was first introduced back in 2008.

landlock: Document tracepoints
Until now, Landlock observability documentation covered only audit records. The tracepoints added by the previous commits introduce a second channel with different semantics (firing regardless of audit configuration and domain log flags, exposing the full ruleset and domain state to eBPF via BTF), which kernel developers, administrators, and userspace tool authors need to discover and compare against audit. Add a dedicated "Landlock Trace Events" reference covering the event categories, enabling events via tracefs, ruleset versioning, eBPF access through BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT, and the same_exec and logged denial fields (logged being the kernel's audit-logging decision, so a stateless ftrace filter can select the denials audit would record with logged==1). Cross-reference it from the administrator, kernel-internals, and userspace API documents, contrasting tracepoints with audit: when each channel is preferred, what each guarantees, and how NOAUDIT hooks and audit rate limiting affect them. Also document the relational other-party domain fields the scope and ptrace denial tracepoints expose (tracee_domain, target_domain, peer_domain; 0 when the other party is unsandboxed), so a consumer can resolve them against the lifecycle events and reproduce the two-domain verdict.

ftrace: deprecate disabling via ftrace_enabled sysctl
Writing 0 to kernel.ftrace_enabled has not reliably disabled ftrace for years (FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT users already block it, and more callers rely on ftrace always being on). Refuse the write instead of leaving it in an inconsistent "disables some, not all" state: return -EOPNOTSUPP and log a message. Reads and enabling (writing 1) are unaffected.

tracing/boot: Add support for eprobe, fprobe, and tprobe events
Boot-time tracing currently supports kprobe-events and synthetic-events under per-event configuration options. Extend boot-time tracing to support newly added dynamic probe types: - event probes (eprobe) under the "eprobes" event group - function probes (fprobe) under the "fprobes" event group - tracepoint probes (tprobe) under the "tracepoints" or "tprobes" event group To support this cleanly, update dyn_event_create() in trace_dynevent.c so that passing NULL as the type parameter delegates to create_dyn_event(), allowing generic creation of any registered dynamic event type from a raw command string. Update Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst accordingly to describe the new per-event bootconfig options.

epoll_wait() is a valid sleeping reason for real-time tasks because it uses PI-aware locking, but the rtapp sleep monitor documentation only discusses clock_nanosleep() and futexes. Document it. ABORT_SLEEP represents a task restoring TASK_RUNNING before entering the scheduler. Since the task does not actually block, it becomes runnable again without a wakeup sequence unsafe for real-time.

perf hisi-ptt: Fix PTT trace TLP header parsing
TLP Headers traced by HiSilicon PCIe tune and trace device (PTT) in
4DW format are shown in the document as below:
bits [31:30] [ 29:25 ][24][23][22][21][ 20:11 ][ 10:0 ]
|-----|---------|---|---|---|---|-------------|-------------|
DW0 [ Fmt ][ Type ][T9][T8][TH][SO][ Length ][ Time ]
DW1 [ Header DW1 ]
DW2 [ Header DW2 ]
DW3 [ Header DW3 ]
Problem:
The DW0 bit field layout of the hisi_ptt_4dw union does not match the
actual bit ordering in little-endian memory, causing incorrect field
decoding.
Test on Kunpeng 930 SOC, generating data flow with `iperf` commands:
- server side:
iperf -s
- client side:
iperf -c $ip_addr -t 30
Trace the TLP headers with hisi_ptt on server side at the same time:
perf record -e hisi_ptt12_0/type=4,filter=0x05101,direction=2,format=0/ \
--max-size 50M -o perf.data &
The trace aims to capture completion TLPs, learn more in the document:
https://docs.kernel.org/trace/hisi-ptt.html
Decode perf.data with hisi_ptt decoder:
perf report -D
The hisi_ptt decoder produces the following result:
[...perf headers and other information]
. ... HISI PTT data: size 8388608 bytes
. 00000000: 68 87 20 94 Format 3 Type 1a T9 0 T8 1 TH 1 SO 1 Length 10 Time 4a1
. 00000004: 40 00 00 00 Header DW1
. 00000008: 40 00 01 51 Header DW2
. 0000000c: 00 00 00 00 Header DW3
[...other hisi_ptt TLP headers]
According to PCIe r5.0 sec 2.2.1, the Fmt & Type of Cpl/CplD is supposed
to be 8b'00001010' / 8b'01001010'
However, the Format & Type decoder analyzing result is 8b'01111010'.
It does not match field encodings of any TLP.
Correct decoder result should be:
[...perf headers and other information]
. ... HISI PTT data: size 8388608 bytes
. 00000000: 94 20 87 68 Format 2 Type a T9 0 T8 0 TH 0 SO 1 Length 10 Time 768
. 00000004: 00 00 00 40 Header DW1
. 00000008: 51 01 00 40 Header DW2
. 0000000c: 00 00 00 00 Header DW3
[...other hisi_ptt TLP headers]
To solve the problem:
1. Drop the union and C bitfield struct, store the raw DW value in
a plain uint32_t, and extract the fields with FIELD_GET() against
GENMASK/BIT masks declared in the header so they can be reused by
other translation units. The masks are portable across endianness and
compilers.
2. Print all DW hex values in big-endian byte order for readability,
matching the bit field layout shown in the 4DW format diagram.
3. Read the DW value with get_unaligned_le32() instead of an unaligned
pointer cast, avoiding both strict-aliasing violations and
alignment hazards on hosts that do not support unaligned access.

rv/rtapp: Add wakeup monitor
Add a wakeup monitor to detect a lower-priority task waking up a higher-priority task. The rtapp/sleep monitor already detects this. However, that monitor triggers an error in the context of the wakee task and user only gets the stacktrace of that task. It is also extremely useful to get the stacktrace of the waker task, which this monitor offers. In other words, this monitor complements the rtapp/sleep monitor.

rv/rtapp/sleep: Stop monitoring kernel threads
The rtapp/sleep monitor's primary purpose is detecting common mistakes
with user-space real-time design. Monitoring real-time issues with
kernel threads is a bonus.
However, accomodating kernel threads complicates the monitor due to
the edge cases which is seen by the monitor as lower-priority task
waking higher-priority task:
- kthread_stop() wakes up the task in order to stop it.
- The rcu thread and migration thread can be woken by any task.
- The ktimerd thread is woken near the end of irq_exit_rcu(), where
the preempt counter is "broken" and falsely says this is task
context. This requires the monitor to use the hardirq_context flag
instead of the preempt counter.
Beside complicating the monitor, the final case also requires enabling
CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS (so that "hardirq_context" can be used). This
adds overhead to the kernel even when the monitor is not active. This
may be an obstacle to enabling this monitor in distros' kernels.
Furthermore, kernel threads usually are started before the monitor is
enabled. Consequently, the threads' states (i.o.w. the monitor's
atomic propositions for the threads) are not fully known to the
monitor. As a result, the kernel threads mostly cannot be monitored.
Overall, the downsides of accomodating kernel threads outweights the
benefits. Thus, exclude kernel threads to simplify the monitor.

rv/rtapp/sleep: Make the error more informative for user
The rtapp/sleep monitor detects real-time tasks which go to sleep in an
real-time-unsafe manner. If this happen, the monitor triggers a trace event
in the sched_wakeup tracepoint's handler.
However, the invoking context of that trace event is not the most
informative, because of the stack trace of that event is the wakeup's code
path which is not very helpful:
74.669317: rv:error_sleep: condvar[254]: violation detected
ltl_validate+0x345 ([kernel.kallsyms])
handle_sched_wakeup+0x34 ([kernel.kallsyms])

sched_ttwu_pending+0x104 ([kernel.kallsyms])
__flush_smp_call_function_queue+0x15b ([kernel.kallsyms])
__sysvec_call_function_single+0x18 ([kernel.kallsyms])
sysvec_call_function_single+0x66 ([kernel.kallsyms])
asm_sysvec_call_function_single+0x1a ([kernel.kallsyms])

cpu_startup_entry+0x24 ([kernel.kallsyms])
start_secondary+0xf8 ([kernel.kallsyms])
common_startup_64+0x13e ([kernel.kallsyms])
What would be much more valuable is the stack trace of the task itself.
Instead of using the sched_wakeup tracepoint, use the sched_exit
tracepoint. This makes the event happen in the task's context, making

tracing/probes: Add this_cpu_read() and this_cpu_ptr() dereference method to fetcharg
When tracing the kernel local variables, sometimes we need to get the CPU local variables. To access it, current simple dereference is not enough. Thus, introduce a special this_cpu_read() dereference to access per-cpu variable for the current CPU (accessing other CPU variable may race with updates on other CPUs). Also this_cpu_ptr() is for accessing per-cpu pointer. Those are working as same as the kernel percpu macro.

tracing/probes: Add $current variable support
Since we can use the BTF to cast value to a structure pointer type, it is useful to introduce "$current" special variable support to fetcharg. User can define a fetcharg to access current task_struct properties using BTF info. e.g. $current->cpus_ptr Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/178271366709.1176915.15320906169981578568.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> |

tracing/probes: Support field specifier option for typecast
Add a field specifier option for the typecast. This works like
container_of() macro.
(STRUCT[,FIELD[.FIELD2...]])VAR
This is equivalent to :
container_of(VAR, struct STRUCT, FIELD[.FIELD2...])
For example:
echo "f tick_nohz_handler next_tick=(tick_sched,sched_timer)timer->next_tick" >> dynamic_events
This will trace tick_nohz_handler() with its tick_sched::next_tick which
is converted from @timer by contianer_of(tick, struct tick_sched, sched_timer).
So, if you enabkle both fprobes:tick_nohz_handler__entry and
timer:hrtimer_expire_entry events, we will see something like:
<idle>-0 [002] d.h1. 3778.087272: hrtimer_expire_entry: hrtimer=00000000d63db328 f
unction=tick_nohz_handler now=3777450051040
<idle>-0 [002] d.h1. 3778.087281: tick_nohz_handler__entry: (tick_nohz_handler+0x4
/0x140) next_tick=3777450000000

tracing/probes: Support nested typecast
When we hit an open parenthesis right after typecast closing parenthesis, it means we have nested typecast. This allows us to typecast a generic data member in a structure to a pointer to another structure. For example, to cast a DATA_MEMBER of VAR structure to STRUCT pointer and get MEMBER value. (STRUCT)(VAR->DATA_MEMBER)->MEMBER Also, we can nest typecast. (STRUCT1)((STRUCT2)$ARG->FIELD2)->FIELD1 Currently the max nest level is limited to 3. This also allows user to use typecasting for registers or stacks on kprobe events. e.g. (STRUCT)(%ax)->MEMBER (STRUCT)($stack0)->MEMBER Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/178271363855.1176915.16793301788257446529.stgit@devnote2/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> |

tracing/probes: Support typecast for various probe events
Support BTF typecast feature on other probe events, but only if it is kernel function entry or return, and must use function parameter name or $retval. This means you can do: (STRUCT)PARAM->MEMBER Note: you can not use other variables like $stackN, %reg etc. That needs nesting support. To support other probe events, we just need to use last_struct type when we find a function parameter in parse_btf_arg(). This also updates <tracefs>/README file to show struct typecast.

tracing/eprobes: Allow use of BTF names to dereference pointers
Add syntax to the parsing of eprobes to be able to typecast a trace event
field that is a pointer to a structure.
Currently, a dereference must be a number, where the user has to figure
out manually the offset of a member of a structure that they want to
dereference.
But for event probes that records a field that happens to be a pointer to
a structure, it cannot dereference these values with BTF naming, but
must use numerical offsets.
For example, to find out what device a sk_buff is pointing to in the
net_dev_xmit trace event, one must first use gdb to find the offsets of the
members of the structures:
(gdb) p &((struct sk_buff *)0)->dev
$1 = (struct net_device **) 0x10
(gdb) p &((struct net_device *)0)->name
$2 = (char (*)[16]) 0x118
And then use the raw numbers to dereference:
# echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit +0x118(+0x10($skbaddr)):string' >> dynamic_events
If BTF is in the kernel, then instead, the skbaddr can be typecast to
sk_buff and use the normal dereference logic.
# echo 'e:xmit net.net_dev_xmit (sk_buff)skbaddr->dev->name:string' >> dynamic_events
# echo 1 > events/eprobes/xmit/enable
# cat trace

Documentation/rv: Replace stale website link
The sched monitor page was linking to Daniel's website which is now
down. The main purpose of the link was to point to a source for the
models from the original author and that can be found also in his
published paper.
Replace the link with a reference to Daniel's "A thread synchronization
model for the PREEMPT_RT Linux kernel" which can be found online and
includes the models definitions as well as the work behind them (not the
original patches but since they're based on a 5.0 kernel and are mostly
included upstream, there's little value in keeping them in the docs).

- Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types No functional changes, only less code duplication. - Add Hybrid Automata model class Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take into account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation scripts. - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an example of automaton working with real time variables. - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify. - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline monitors. - Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and exporting helpers. - Add nomiss deadline monitor Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete before their deadline. - Improve rvgen error handling Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones. - Improve python code quality in rvgen Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of __len__(), remove semicolons, use context managers for file operations, fix whitespace violations, extract magic strings into constants, remove unused imports and methods. - Fix small bugs in rvgen The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error in validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance() check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations and typos in comments. - rvgen refactoring Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle required arguments directly in argparse. - Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the sleep monitor as a valid sleep method. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYKADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCad4kUxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qiJgAPsGJ0TCTubdn2x6fpwLDKUcSsNsYrok m8gLHeK0rmkKNQD/ajUW+RBsOufXAsnSzUoUcl7sw1TSiQJ085U+0+ZeDgM= =WZqk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-rv-v7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull runtime verification updates from Steven Rostedt: - Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types No functional changes, only less code duplication. - Add Hybrid Automata model class Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding constraints on transitions and states.

ring-buffer updates for 7.1:
- Add remote buffers for pKVM
pKVM has a hypervisor component that is used to protect the guest from the
host kernel. This hypervisor is a black box to the kernel as the kernel is
to user space. The remote buffers are used to have a memory mapping
between the hypervisor and the kernel where kernel may send commands to
enable tracing within the hypervisor. Then the kernel will read this
memory mapping just like user space can read the memory mapped ring buffer
of the kernel tracing system.
Since the hypervisor only has a single context, it doesn't need to worry
about races between normal context, interrupt context and NMIs like the
kernel does. The ring buffer it uses doesn't need to be as complex. The
remote buffers are a simple version of the ring buffer that works in a
single context. They are still per-CPU and use sub buffers. The data
layout is the same as the kernel's ring buffer to share the same parsing.
Currently, only ARM64 implements pKVM, but there's work to implement it
also in x86. The remote buffer code is separated out from the ARM
implementation so that it can be used in the future by x86.
The ARM64 updates for pKVM is in the ARM/KVM tree and it merged in the
remote buffers of this tree.

Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Enumeration:
- Allow TLP Processing Hints to be enabled for RCiEPs (George Abraham
P)
- Enable AtomicOps only if we know the Root Port supports them (Gerd
Bayer)
- Don't enable AtomicOps for RCiEPs since none of them need Atomic
Ops and we can't tell whether the Root Complex would support them
(Gerd Bayer)
- Leave Precision Time Measurement disabled until a driver enables it
to avoid PCIe errors (Mika Westerberg)
- Make pci_set_vga_state() fail if bridge doesn't support VGA
routing, i.e., PCI_BRIDGE_CTL_VGA is not writable, and return
errors to vga_get() callers including userspace via
/dev/vga_arbiter (Simon Richter)
- Validate max-link-speed from DT in j721e, brcmstb, mediatek-gen3,
rzg3s drivers (where the actual controller constraints are known),
and remove validation from the generic OF DT accessor (Hans Zhang)
- Remove pc110pad driver (no longer useful after 486 CPU support
removed) and no_pci_devices() (pc110pad was the last user) (Dmitry
Torokhov, Heiner Kallweit)
Resource management:
- Prevent assigning space to unimplemented bridge windows; previously
we mistakenly assumed prefetchable window existed and assigned
space and put a BAR there (Ahmed Naseef)
- Avoid shrinking bridge windows to fit in the initial Root Port
window; fixes one problem with devices with large BARs connected
via switches, e.g., Thunderbolt (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Pass full extent of empty space, not just the aligned space, to
resource_alignf callback so free space before the requested
alignment can be used (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Place small resources before larger ones for better utilization of
address space (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Fix alignment calculation for resource size larger than align,
e.g., bridge windows larger than the 1MB required alignment (Ilpo
Järvinen)
Reset:
- Update slot handling so all ARI functions are treated as being in
the same slot. They're all reset by Secondary Bus Reset, but
previously drivers of ARI functions that appeared to be on a
non-zero device weren't notified and fatal hardware errors could
result (Keith Busch)
- Make sysfs reset_subordinate hotplug safe to avoid spurious hotplug
events (Keith Busch)
- Hide Secondary Bus Reset ('bus') from sysfs reset_methods if masked
by CXL because it has no effect (Vidya Sagar)
- Avoid FLR for AMD NPU device, where it causes the device to hang
(Lizhi Hou)
Error handling:
- Clear only error bits in PCIe Device Status to avoid accidentally
clearing Emergency Power Reduction Detected (Shuai Xue)
- Check for AER errors even in devices without drivers (Lukas Wunner)
- Initialize ratelimit info so DPC and EDR paths log AER error
information (Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan)
Power control:
- Add UPD720201/UPD720202 USB 3.0 xHCI Host Controller .compatible so
generic pwrctrl driver can control it (Neil Armstrong)
Hotplug:
- Set LED_HW_PLUGGABLE for NPEM hotplug-capable ports so LED core
doesn't complain when setting brightness fails because the endpoint
is gone (Richard Cheng)
Peer-to-peer DMA:
- Allow wildcards in list of host bridges that support peer-to-peer
DMA between hierarchy domains and add all Google SoCs (Jacob
Moroni)
Endpoint framework:
- Advertise dynamic inbound mapping support in pci-epf-test and
update host pci_endpoint_test to skip doorbell testing if not
advertised by endpoint (Koichiro Den)
- Return 0, not remaining timeout, when MHI eDMA ops complete so
mhi_ep_ring_add_element() doesn't interpret non-zero as failure
(Daniel Hodges)
- Remove vntb and ntb duplicate resource teardown that leads to oops
when .allow_link() fails or .drop_link() is called (Koichiro Den)
- Disable vntb delayed work before clearing BAR mappings and
doorbells to avoid oops caused by doing the work after resources
have been torn down (Koichiro Den)
- Add a way to describe reserved subregions within BARs, e.g.,
platform-owned fixed register windows, and use it for the RK3588
BAR4 DMA ctrl window (Koichiro Den)
- Add BAR_DISABLED for BARs that will never be available to an EPF
driver, and change some BAR_RESERVED annotations to BAR_DISABLED
(Niklas Cassel)
- Add NTB .get_dma_dev() callback for cases where DMA API requires a
different device, e.g., vNTB devices (Koichiro Den)
- Add reserved region types for MSI-X Table and PBA so Endpoint
controllers can them as describe hardware-owned regions in a
BAR_RESERVED BAR (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Make Tegra194/234 BAR0 programmable and remove 1MB size limit
(Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Expose Tegra BAR2 (MSI-X) and BAR4 (DMA) as 64-bit BAR_RESERVED
(Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Add Tegra194 and Tegra234 device table entries to pci_endpoint_test
(Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Skip the BAR subrange selftest if there are not enough inbound
window resources to run the test (Christian Bruel)
New native PCIe controller drivers:
- Add DT binding and driver for Andes QiLai SoC PCIe host controller
(Randolph Lin)
- Add DT binding and driver for ESWIN PCIe Root Complex (Senchuan
Zhang)
Baikal T-1 PCIe controller driver:
- Remove driver since it never quite became usable (Andy Shevchenko)
Cadence PCIe controller driver:
- Implement byte/word config reads with dword (32-bit) reads because
some Cadence controllers don't support sub-dword accesses (Aksh
Garg)
CIX Sky1 PCIe controller driver:
- Add 'power-domains' to DT binding for SCMI power domain (Gary Yang)
Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Add i.MX94 and i.MX943 to fsl,imx6q-pcie-ep DT binding (Richard
Zhu)
- Delay instead of polling for L2/L3 Ready after PME_Turn_off when
suspending i.MX6SX because LTSSM registers are inaccessible
(Richard Zhu)
- Separate PERST# assertion (for resetting endpoints) from core reset
(for resetting the RC itself) to prepare for new DTs with PERST#
GPIO in per-Root Port nodes (Sherry Sun)
- Retain Root Port MSI capability on i.MX7D, i.MX8MM, and i.MX8MQ so
MSI from downstream devices will work (Richard Zhu)
- Fix i.MX95 reference clock source selection when internal refclk is
used (Franz Schnyder)
Freescale Layerscape PCIe controller driver:
- Allow building as a removable module (Sascha Hauer)
MediaTek PCIe Gen3 controller driver:
- Use dev_err_probe() to simplify error paths and make deferred probe
messages visible in /sys/kernel/debug/devices_deferred (Chen-Yu
Tsai)
- Power off device if setup fails (Chen-Yu Tsai)
- Integrate new pwrctrl API to enable power control for WiFi/BT
adapters on mainboard or in PCIe or M.2 slots (Chen-Yu Tsai)
NVIDIA Tegra194 PCIe controller driver:
- Poll less aggressively and non-atomically for PME_TO_Ack during
transition to L2 (Vidya Sagar)
- Disable LTSSM after transition to Detect on surprise link down to
stop toggling between Polling and Detect (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Don't force the device into the D0 state before L2 when suspending
or shutting down the controller (Vidya Sagar)
- Disable PERST# IRQ only in Endpoint mode because it's not
registered in Root Port mode (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Handle 'nvidia,refclk-select' as optional (Vidya Sagar)
- Disable direct speed change in Endpoint mode so link speed change
is controlled by the host (Vidya Sagar)
- Set LTR values before link up to avoid bogus LTR messages with 0
latency (Vidya Sagar)
- Allow system suspend when the Endpoint link is down (Vidya Sagar)
- Use DWC IP core version, not Tegra custom values, to avoid DWC core
version check warnings (Manikanta Maddireddy)
- Apply ECRC workaround to devices based on DesignWare 5.00a as well
as 4.90a (Manikanta Maddireddy)

tracing: Documentation: Update histogram-design.rst for fn() handling
The histogram documentation describes the old method of the histogram triggers using the fn() field of the histogram field structure to process the field. But due to Spectre mitigation, the function pointer to handle the fields at runtime caused a noticeable overhead. It was converted over to a fn_num and hist_fn_call() is now used to call the specific functions for the fields via a switch statement based on the field's fn_num value. Update the documentation to reflect this change.

rv: Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton
The opid monitor validates that wakeup and need_resched events only occur with interrupts and preemption disabled by following the preemptirq tracepoints. As reported in [1], those tracepoints might be inaccurate in some situations (e.g. NMIs). Since the monitor doesn't validate other ordering properties, remove the dependency on preemptirq tracepoints and convert the monitor to a hybrid automaton to validate the constraint during event handling. This makes the monitor more robust by also removing the workaround for interrupts missing the preemption tracepoints, which was working on PREEMPT_RT only and allows the monitor to be built on kernels without the preemptirqs tracepoints.
