2021-10-08tracing: Disable "other" permission bits in the tracefs filesSteven Rostedt (VMware)
When building the files in the tracefs file system, do not by default set any permissions for OTH (other). This will make it easier for admins who want to define a group for accessing tracefs and not having to first disable all the permission bits for "other" in the file system. As tracing can leak sensitive information, it should never by default allowing all users access. An admin can still set the permission bits for others to have access, which may be useful for creating a honeypot and seeing who takes advantage of it and roots the machine.

2021-08-18tracing: Have dynamic events have a ref counterSteven Rostedt (VMware)
As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep the dynamic event from going away. Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure, make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.

2021-08-18tracing: Add DYNAMIC flag for dynamic eventsSteven Rostedt (VMware)
To differentiate between static and dynamic events, add a new flag DYNAMIC to the event flags that all dynamic events have set. This will allow to differentiate when attaching to a dynamic event from a static event. Static events have a mod pointer that references the module they were created in (or NULL for core kernel). This can be incremented when the event has something attached to it. But there exists no such mechanism for dynamic events. This is dangerous as the dynamic events may now disappear without the "attachment" knowing that it no longer exists. To enforce the dynamic flag, change dyn_event_add() to pass the event that is being created such that it can set the DYNAMIC flag of the event. This helps make sure that no location that creates a dynamic event misses setting this flag.

2021-07-23tracing: Clean up alloc_synth_event()Steven Rostedt (VMware)
alloc_synth_event() currently has the following code to initialize the event fields and dynamic_fields: for (i = 0, j = 0; i < n_fields; i++) { event->fields[i] = fields[i]; if (fields[i]->is_dynamic) { event->dynamic_fields[j] = fields[i]; event->dynamic_fields[j]->field_pos = i; event->dynamic_fields[j++] = fields[i]; event->n_dynamic_fields++; } } 1) It would make more sense to have all fields keep track of their field_pos. 2) event->dynmaic_fields[j] is assigned twice for no reason. 3) We can move updating event->n_dynamic_fields outside the loop, and just assign it to j. This combination makes the code much cleaner. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210721195341.29bb0f77@oasis.local.home Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

2021-02-09tracing: Add a backward-compatibility check for synthetic event creationTom Zanussi
The synthetic event parsing rework now requires semicolons between synthetic event fields. That requirement breaks existing users who might already have used the old synthetic event command format, so this adds an inner loop that can parse more than one field, if present, between semicolons. For each field, parse_synth_field() checks in which version that field was introduced, using check_field_version(). The caller, __create_synth_event() can then use that version information to determine whether or not to enforce the requirement on the command as a whole. In the future, if/when new features are added, the requirement will be that any field/string containing the new feature must use semicolons, and the check_field_version() check can then check for those and enforce it. Using a version number allows this scheme to be extended if necessary.

2020-11-02tracing: Make -ENOMEM the default error for parse_synth_field()Steven Rostedt (VMware)
parse_synth_field() returns a pointer and requires that errors get surrounded by ERR_PTR(). The ret variable is initialized to zero, but should never be used as zero, and if it is, it could cause a false return code and produce a NULL pointer dereference. It makes no sense to set ret to zero. Set ret to -ENOMEM (the most common error case), and have any other errors set it to something else. This removes the need to initialize ret on *every* error branch.

2020-10-15tracing: support "bool" type in synthetic trace eventsAxel Rasmussen
It's common [1] to define tracepoint fields as "bool" when they contain a true / false value. Currently, defining a synthetic event with a "bool" field yields EINVAL. It's possible to work around this by using e.g. u8 (assuming sizeof(bool) is 1, and bool is unsigned; if either of these properties don't match, you get EINVAL [2]). Supporting "bool" explicitly makes hooking this up easier and more portable for userspace.

2020-10-05tracing: Add support for dynamic strings to synthetic eventsTom Zanussi
Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as: # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event. It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to synthetic events via the trace() action. With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined: # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either dynamic or static strings: # echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file.

2020-09-21tracing/boot, kprobe, synth: Initialize boot-time tracing earlierMasami Hiramatsu
Initialize boot-time tracing in core_initcall_sync instead of fs_initcall, and initialize required tracers (kprobes and synth) in core_initcall. This will allow the boot-time tracing to trace __init code from the beginning of postcore_initcall stage.

pointer Current tracing_init_dentry() return a d_entry pointer, while is not necessary. This function returns NULL on success or error on failure, which means there is no valid d_entry pointer return. Let's return 0 on success and negative value for error.

2020-06-01tracing: Move synthetic events to a separate fileTom Zanussi
With the addition of the in-kernel synthetic event API, synthetic events are no longer specifically tied to the histogram triggers. The synthetic event code is also making trace_event_hist.c very bloated, so for those reasons, move it to a separate file, trace_events_synth.c, along with a new trace_synth.h header file. Because synthetic events are now independent from hist triggers, add a new CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENTS config option, and have CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS select it, and have CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENT_GEN_TEST depend on it.
