From: "Robin H. Johnson" <robbat2@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e531e90b5ab0f7ce5ff298e165214c1aec6ed187 upstream. Running endpoint security solutions like Sentinel1 that use perf-based tracing heavily lead to this repeated dump complaining about dockerd. The default value of 2048 is nowhere near not large enough. Using the prior patch "tracing: show size of requested buffer", we get "perf buffer not large enough, wanted 6644, have 6144", after repeated up-sizing (I did 2/4/6/8K). With 8K, the problem doesn't occur at all, so below is the trace for 6K. I'm wondering if this value should be selectable at boot time, but this is a good starting point. ``` ------------[ cut here ]------------ perf buffer not large enough, wanted 6644, have 6144 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4997 at kernel/trace/trace_event_perf.c:402 perf_trace_buf_alloc+0x8c/0xa0 Modules linked in: [..] CPU: 1 PID: 4997 Comm: sh Tainted: G T 5.13.13-x86_64-00039-gb3959163488e #63 Hardware name: LENOVO 20KH002JUS/20KH002JUS, BIOS N23ET66W (1.41 ) 09/02/2019 RIP: 0010:perf_trace_buf_alloc+0x8c/0xa0 Code: 80 3d 43 97 d0 01 00 74 07 31 c0 5b 5d 41 5c c3 ba 00 18 00 00 89 ee 48 c7 c7 00 82 7d 91 c6 05 25 97 d0 01 01 e8 22 ee bc 00 <0f> 0b 31 c0 eb db 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 00 55 89 RSP: 0018:ffffb922026b7d58 EFLAGS: 00010282 RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff9da5ee012000 RCX: 0000000000000027 RDX: ffff9da881657828 RSI: 0000000000000001 RDI: ffff9da881657820 RBP: 00000000000019f4 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: ffffb922026b7b80 R10: ffffb922026b7b78 R11: ffffffff91dda688 R12: 000000000000000f R13: ffff9da5ee012108 R14: ffff9da8816570a0 R15: ffffb922026b7e30 FS: 00007f420db1a080(0000) GS:ffff9da881640000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000060 CR3: 00000002504a8006 CR4: 00000000003706e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: kprobe_perf_func+0x11e/0x270 ? do_execveat_common.isra.0+0x1/0x1c0 ? do_execveat_common.isra.0+0x5/0x1c0 kprobe_ftrace_handler+0x10e/0x1d0 0xffffffffc03aa0c8 ? do_execveat_common.isra.0+0x1/0x1c0 do_execveat_common.isra.0+0x5/0x1c0 __x64_sys_execve+0x33/0x40 do_syscall_64+0x6b/0xc0 ? do_syscall_64+0x11/0xc0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae RIP: 0033:0x7f420dc1db37 Code: ff ff 76 e7 f7 d8 64 41 89 00 eb df 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 f7 d8 64 41 89 00 eb dc 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 b8 3b 00 00 00 0f 05 <48> 3d 01 f0 ff ff 73 01 c3 48 8b 0d 01 43 0f 00 f7 d8 64 89 01 48 RSP: 002b:00007ffd4e8b4e38 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 000000000000003b RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 00007f420dc1db37 RDX: 0000564338d1e740 RSI: 0000564338d32d50 RDI: 0000564338d28f00 RBP: 0000564338d28f00 R08: 0000564338d32d50 R09: 0000000000000020 R10: 00000000000001b6 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000564338d28f00 R13: 0000564338d32d50 R14: 0000564338d1e740 R15: 0000564338d28c60 ---[ end trace 83ab3e8e16275e49 ]--- ``` Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210831043723.13481-2-robbat2@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Robin H.
