3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: "zhangwei(Jovi)" <jovi.zhangwei@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 11034ae9c20f4057a6127fc965906417978e69b2 upstream. All syscall tracing irqs-off tags are wrong, the syscall enter entry doesn't disable irqs. [root@jovi tracing]#echo "syscalls:sys_enter_open" > set_event [root@jovi tracing]# cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 13/13 #P:2 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | irqbalance-513 [000] d... 56115.496766: sys_open(filename: 804e1a6, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) irqbalance-513 [000] d... 56115.497008: sys_open(filename: 804e1bb, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) sendmail-771 [000] d... 56115.827982: sys_open(filename: b770e6d1, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) The reason is syscall tracing doesn't record irq_flags into buffer. The proper display is: [root@jovi tracing]#echo "syscalls:sys_enter_open" > set_event [root@jovi tracing]# cat trace # tracer: nop # # entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 14/14 #P:2 # # _-----=> irqs-off # / _----=> need-resched # | / _---=> hardirq/softirq # || / _--=> preempt-depth # ||| / delay # TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | |||| | | irqbalance-514 [001] .... 46.213921: sys_open(filename: 804e1a6, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) irqbalance-514 [001] .... 46.214160: sys_open(filename: 804e1bb, flags: 0, mode: 1b6) <...>-920 [001] .... 47.307260: sys_open(filename: 4e82a0c5, flags: 80000, mode: 0) Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1365564393-10972-3-git-send-email-jovi.zhangwei@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # 2.6.35 Signed-off-by: zhangwei(Jovi) <jovi.zhangwei@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c | 18 ++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) --- a/kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c @@ -305,6 +305,8 @@ void ftrace_syscall_enter(void *ignore, struct ring_buffer *buffer; int size; int syscall_nr; + unsigned long irq_flags; + int pc; syscall_nr = syscall_get_nr(current, regs); if (syscall_nr < 0) @@ -318,8 +320,11 @@ void ftrace_syscall_enter(void *ignore, size = sizeof(*entry) + sizeof(unsigned long) * sys_data->nb_args; + local_save_flags(irq_flags); + pc = preempt_count(); + event = trace_current_buffer_lock_reserve(&buffer, - sys_data->enter_event->event.type, size, 0, 0); + sys_data->enter_event->event.type, size, irq_flags, pc); if (!event) return; @@ -329,7 +334,8 @@ void ftrace_syscall_enter(void *ignore, if (!filter_current_check_discard(buffer, sys_data->enter_event, entry, event)) - trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit(buffer, event, 0, 0); + trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit(buffer, event, + irq_flags, pc); } void ftrace_syscall_exit(void *ignore, struct pt_regs *regs, long ret) @@ -339,6 +345,8 @@ void ftrace_syscall_exit(void *ignore, s struct ring_buffer_event *event; struct ring_buffer *buffer; int syscall_nr; + unsigned long irq_flags; + int pc; syscall_nr = syscall_get_nr(current, regs); if (syscall_nr < 0) @@ -351,7 +359,8 @@ void ftrace_syscall_exit(void *ignore, s return; event = trace_current_buffer_lock_reserve(&buffer, - sys_data->exit_event->event.type, sizeof(*entry), 0, 0); + sys_data->exit_event->event.type, sizeof(*entry), + irq_flags, pc); if (!event) return; @@ -361,7 +370,8 @@ void ftrace_syscall_exit(void *ignore, s if (!filter_current_check_discard(buffer, sys_data->exit_event, entry, event)) - trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit(buffer, event, 0, 0); + trace_current_buffer_unlock_commit(buffer, event, + irq_flags, pc); } int reg_event_syscall_enter(struct ftrace_event_call *call) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
