In powerpc pseries system, below behaviour is observed while
enabling tracing on hcall:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# cat events/powerpc/hcall_exit/enable
0
# echo 1 > events/powerpc/hcall_exit/enable
# ls
-bash: fork: Bad address
Above is from power9 lpar with latest kernel. Past this, softlockup
is observed. Initially while attempting via perf_event_open to
use "PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT", kernel panic was observed.
perf config used:
================
memset(&pe[1],0,sizeof(struct perf_event_attr));
pe[1].type=PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT;
pe[1].size=96;
pe[1].config=0x26ULL; /* 38 raw_syscalls/sys_exit */
pe[1].sample_type=0; /* 0 */
pe[1].read_format=PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|PERF_FORMAT_TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING|PERF_FORMAT_ID|PERF_FORMAT_GROUP|0x10ULL; /* 1f */
pe[1].inherit=1;
pe[1].precise_ip=0; /* arbitrary skid */
pe[1].wakeup_events=0;
pe[1].bp_type=HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY;
pe[1].config1=0x1ULL;

git bisect tracked this down to below commit:
'commit baa49d81a94b ("powerpc/pseries: hvcall stack frame overhead")'
This commit changed STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD (112 ) to
STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE (32 ) since 32 bytes is the minimum size
for ELFv2 stack. With the latest kernel, when running on ELFv2,
STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE is used to allocate stack size.
During plpar_hcall_trace, first call is made to HCALL_INST_PRECALL
which saves the registers and allocates new stack frame. In the
plpar_hcall_trace code, STK_PARAM is accessed at two places.
1. To save r4: std r4,STK_PARAM(R4)(r1)
2. To access r4 back: ld r12,STK_PARAM(R4)(r1)
HCALL_INST_PRECALL precall allocates a new stack frame. So all
the stack parameter access after the precall, needs to be accessed
with +STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE. So the store instruction should be:
std r4,STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE+STK_PARAM(R4)(r1)
If the "std" is not updated with STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE, we will
end up with overwriting stack contents and cause corruption.
But instead of updating 'std', we can instead remove it since
HCALL_INST_PRECALL already saves it to the correct location.
similarly load instruction should be:
ld r12,STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE+STK_PARAM(R4)(r1)
Fix the load instruction to correctly access the stack parameter
with +STACK_FRAME_MIN_SIZE and remove the store of r4 since the
precall saves it correctly.
