ftrace: Reverse what the RECURSION flag means in the ftrace_ops
Now that all callbacks are recursion safe, reverse the meaning of the RECURSION flag and rename it from RECURSION_SAFE to simply RECURSION. Now only callbacks that request to have recursion protecting it will have the added trampoline to do so. Also remove the outdated comment about "PER_CPU" when determining to use the ftrace_ops_assist_func.

This requires extra care to what can be done inside a callback. A callback
|
||||
can be called outside the protective scope of RCU.
|
||||
|
||||
The ftrace infrastructure has some protections against recursions and RCU
|
||||
but one must still be very careful how they use the callbacks.
|
||||
There are helper functions to help against recursion, and making sure
|

RCU is watching. These are explained below.

@ -108,6 +108,50 @@ The prototype of the callback function is as follows (as of v4.14):
|
|||
at the start of the function where ftrace was tracing. Otherwise it
|
||||
either contains garbage, or NULL.
|
||||
|
||||
Protect your callback
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
As functions can be called from anywhere, and it is possible that a function
|
||||
called by a callback may also be traced, and call that same callback,
|
||||
recursion protection must be used. There are two helper functions that
|
||||
can help in this regard. If you start your code with:
|
||||
|
||||
int bit;
|
||||
|
||||
bit = ftrace_test_recursion_trylock();
|
||||
if (bit < 0)
|
||||
return;
|
||||
|
||||
and end it with:
|
||||
|
||||
ftrace_test_recursion_unlock(bit);
|
||||
|
||||
The code in between will be safe to use, even if it ends up calling a
|
||||
function that the callback is tracing. Note, on success,
|
||||
ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() will disable preemption, and the
|
||||
ftrace_test_recursion_unlock() will enable it again (if it was previously
|
||||
enabled).
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, if the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION flag is set on the ftrace_ops
|
||||
(as explained below), then a helper trampoline will be used to test
|
||||
for recursion for the callback and no recursion test needs to be done.
|
||||
But this is at the expense of a slightly more overhead from an extra
|
||||
function call.
|
||||
|
||||
If your callback accesses any data or critical section that requires RCU
|
||||
protection, it is best to make sure that RCU is "watching", otherwise
|
||||
that data or critical section will not be protected as expected. In this
|
||||
case add:
|
||||
|
||||
if (!rcu_is_watching())
|
||||
return;
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, if the FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU flag is set on the ftrace_ops
|
||||
(as explained below), then a helper trampoline will be used to test
|
||||
for rcu_is_watching for the callback and no other test needs to be done.
|
||||
But this is at the expense of a slightly more overhead from an extra
|
||||
function call.

will not fail with this flag set. But the callback must check if
|
||||
regs is NULL or not to determine if the architecture supports it.
|
||||
|
||||
FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION_SAFE
|
||||
By default, a wrapper is added around the callback to
|
||||
make sure that recursion of the function does not occur. That is,
|
||||
if a function that is called as a result of the callback's execution
|
||||
is also traced, ftrace will prevent the callback from being called
|
||||
again. But this wrapper adds some overhead, and if the callback is
|
||||
safe from recursion, it can set this flag to disable the ftrace
|
||||
protection.
|
||||
FTRACE_OPS_FL_RECURSION
|
||||
By default, it is expected that the callback can handle recursion.
|
||||
But if the callback is not that worried about overehead, then
|
||||
setting this bit will add the recursion protection around the
|
||||
callback by calling a helper function that will do the recursion
|
||||
protection and only call the callback if it did not recurse.
|
||||
|
||||
Note, if this flag is set, and recursion does occur, it could cause
|
||||
the system to crash, and possibly reboot via a triple fault.
|
||||
Note, if this flag is not set, and recursion does occur, it could
|
||||
cause the system to crash, and possibly reboot via a triple fault.
|
||||
|
||||
It is OK if another callback traces a function that is called by a
|
||||
callback that is marked recursion safe. Recursion safe callbacks
|
||||
must never trace any function that are called by the callback
|
||||
itself or any nested functions that those functions call.
|
||||
|
||||
If this flag is set, it is possible that the callback will also
|
||||
be called with preemption enabled (when CONFIG_PREEMPTION is set),
|
||||
but this is not guaranteed.
|
||||
Not, if this flag is set, then the callback will always be called
|
||||
with preemption disabled. If it is not set, then it is possible
|
||||
(but not guaranteed) that the callback will be called in

||||
preemptable context.
