tracing: Add a probe that attaches to trace events

A new dynamic event is introduced: event probe. The event is attached
to an existing tracepoint and uses its fields as arguments. The user
can specify custom format string of the new event, select what tracepoint
arguments will be printed and how to print them.
An event probe is created by writing configuration string in
'dynamic_events' ftrace file:
e[:[SNAME/]ENAME] SYSTEM/EVENT [FETCHARGS] - Set an event probe
-:SNAME/ENAME - Delete an event probe

Where:
SNAME - System name, if omitted 'eprobes' is used.
ENAME - Name of the new event in SNAME, if omitted the SYSTEM_EVENT is used.
SYSTEM - Name of the system, where the tracepoint is defined, mandatory.
EVENT - Name of the tracepoint event in SYSTEM, mandatory.
FETCHARGS - Arguments:
<name>=$<field>[:TYPE] - Fetch given filed of the tracepoint and print
it as given TYPE with given name. Supported
types are:
(u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), basic type
(x8/x16/x32/x64), hexadecimal types
"string", "ustring" and bitfield.

Example, attach an event probe on openat system call and print name of the
file that will be opened:
echo "e:esys/eopen syscalls/sys_enter_openat file=\$filename:string" >> dynamic_events
A new dynamic event is created in events/esys/eopen/ directory. It
can be deleted with:
echo "-:esys/eopen" >> dynamic_events

Filters, triggers and histograms can be attached to the new event, it can
be matched in synthetic events. There is one limitation - an event probe
can not be attached to kprobe, uprobe or another event probe.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Limit the shooting in the foot of tp_printk

The "tp_printk" option redirects the trace event output to printk at
boot up. This is useful when a machine crashes before boot where the
trace events can not be retrieved by the in kernel ring buffer. But it
can be "dangerous" because trace events can be located in high
frequency locations such as interrupts and the scheduler, where a
printk can slow it down that it live locks the machine (because by the
time the printk finishes, the next event is triggered). Thus tp_printk
must be used with care.

It was discovered that the filter logic to trace events does not apply
to the tp_printk events. This can cause a surprise and live lock when
the user expects it to be filtered to limit the amount of events
printed to the console when in fact it still prints everything"

Merge tag 'trace-v5.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Added option for per CPU threads to the hwlat tracer

- Have hwlat tracer handle hotplug CPUs

- New tracer: osnoise, that detects latency caused by interrupts,
softirqs and scheduling of other tasks.

- Added timerlat tracer that creates a thread and measures in detail
what sources of latency it has for wake ups.

- Removed the "success" field of the sched_wakeup trace event. This has
been hardcoded as "1" since 2015, no tooling should be looking at it
now. If one exists, we can revert this commit, fix that tool and try
to remove it again in the future.

- tgid mapping fixed to handle more than PID_MAX_DEFAULT pids/tgids.

- New boot command line option "tp_printk_stop", as tp_printk causes
trace events to write to console. When user space starts, this can
easily live lock the system. Having a boot option to stop just after
boot up is useful to prevent that from happening.

- Have ftrace_dump_on_oops boot command line option take numbers that
match the numbers shown in /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops.

- Bootconfig clean ups, fixes and enhancements.

- New ktest script that tests bootconfig options.

- Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() to register a tracepoint
without triggering a WARN*() if it already exists. BPF has a path
from user space that can do this. All other paths are considered a
bug.

- Small clean ups and fixes

Merge branch 'do_once_lite'

Tanner Love says:

====================
net: update netdev_rx_csum_fault() print dump only once

First patch implements DO_ONCE_LITE to abstract uses of the ".data.once"
trick. It is defined in its own, new header file -- rather than
alongside the existing DO_ONCE in include/linux/once.h -- because
include/linux/once.h includes include/linux/jump_label.h, and this
causes the build to break for some architectures if
include/linux/once.h is included in include/linux/printk.h or
include/asm-generic/bug.h.

Second patch uses DO_ONCE_LITE in netdev_rx_csum_fault to print dump
only once.

once: implement DO_ONCE_LITE for non-fast-path "do once" functionality

Certain uses of "do once" functionality reside outside of fast path,
and so do not require jump label patching via static keys, making
existing DO_ONCE undesirable in such cases.

Replace uses of __section(".data.once") with DO_ONCE_LITE(_IF)?

This patch changes the return values of xfs_printk_once, printk_once,
and printk_deferred_once. Before, they returned whether the print was
performed, but now, they always return true. This is okay because the
return values of the following macros are entirely ignored throughout
the kernel:
- xfs_printk_once
- xfs_warn_once
- xfs_notice_once
- xfs_info_once
- printk_once

trace: Add timerlat tracer

The timerlat tracer aims to help the preemptive kernel developers to
found souces of wakeup latencies of real-time threads. Like cyclictest,
the tracer sets a periodic timer that wakes up a thread. The thread then
computes a *wakeup latency* value as the difference between the *current
time* and the *absolute time* that the timer was set to expire. The main
goal of timerlat is tracing in such a way to help kernel developers.

Usage

Write the ASCII text "timerlat" into the current_tracer file of the
tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing).

For example:

[root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
[root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer

It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file:

[root@f32 tracing]# cat trace
# tracer: timerlat
#
# _-----=> irqs-off
# / _----=> need-resched
# | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
# || / _--=> preempt-depth
# || /
# |||| ACTIVATION
# TASK-PID CPU# |||| TIMESTAMP ID CONTEXT LATENCY
# | | | |||| | | | |

<...>-867 [000] .... 54.029339: #1 context thread timer_latency 11700 ns
<idle>-0 [001] dNh1 54.029346: #1 context irq timer_latency 2833 ns
<...>-868 [001] .... 54.029353: #1 context thread timer_latency 9820 ns
<idle>-0 [000] d.h1 54.030328: #2 context irq timer_latency 769 ns
<...>-867 [000] .... 54.030330: #2 context thread timer_latency 3070 ns
<idle>-0 [001] d.h1 54.030344: #2 context irq timer_latency 935 ns
<...>-868 [001] .... 54.030347: #2 context thread timer_latency 4351 ns

The tracer creates a per-cpu kernel thread with real-time priority that
prints two lines at every activation. The first is the *timer latency*
observed at the *hardirq* context before the activation of the thread.
The second is the *timer latency* observed by the thread, which is the
same level that cyclictest reports. The ACTIVATION ID field
serves to relate the *irq* execution to its respective *thread* execution.

The irq/thread splitting is important to clarify at which context
the unexpected high value is coming from. The *irq* context can be
delayed by hardware related actions, such as SMIs, NMIs, IRQs
or by a thread masking interrupts. Once the timer happens, the delay
can also be influenced by blocking caused by threads. For example, by
postponing the scheduler execution via preempt_disable(), by the
scheduler execution, or by masking interrupts. Threads can
also be delayed by the interference from other threads and IRQs.

The timerlat can also take advantage of the osnoise: traceevents.
For example:

[root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
[root@f32 tracing]# echo timerlat > current_tracer
[root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > set_event
[root@f32 tracing]# echo 25 > osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us
[root@f32 tracing]# tail -10 trace

trace: Add osnoise tracer

In the context of high-performance computing (HPC), the Operating System
Noise (*osnoise*) refers to the interference experienced by an application
due to activities inside the operating system. In the context of Linux,
NMIs, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and any other system thread can cause noise to the
system. Moreover, hardware-related jobs can also cause noise, for example,
via SMIs.

The osnoise tracer leverages the hwlat_detector by running a similar
loop with preemption, SoftIRQs and IRQs enabled, thus allowing all
the sources of *osnoise* during its execution. Using the same approach
of hwlat, osnoise takes note of the entry and exit point of any
source of interferences, increasing a per-cpu interference counter. The
osnoise tracer also saves an interference counter for each source of
interference. The interference counter for NMI, IRQs, SoftIRQs, and
threads is increased anytime the tool observes these interferences' entry
events. When a noise happens without any interference from the operating
system level, the hardware noise counter increases, pointing to a
hardware-related noise. In this way, osnoise can account for any
source of interference. At the end of the period, the osnoise tracer
prints the sum of all noise, the max single noise, the percentage of CPU
available for the thread, and the counters for the noise sources.

Usage

Write the ASCII text "osnoise" into the current_tracer file of the
tracing system (generally mounted at /sys/kernel/tracing).

For example::

[root@f32 ~]# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
[root@f32 tracing]# echo osnoise > current_tracer

It is possible to follow the trace by reading the trace trace file::

[root@f32 tracing]# cat trace
# tracer: osnoise
#
# _-----=> irqs-off
# / _----=> need-resched
# | / _---=> hardirq/softirq
# || / _--=> preempt-depth MAX

In addition to the regular trace fields (from TASK-PID to TIMESTAMP), the
tracer prints a message at the end of each period for each CPU that is
running an osnoise/CPU thread. The osnoise specific fields report:

- The RUNTIME IN USE reports the amount of time in microseconds that
the osnoise thread kept looping reading the time.
- The NOISE IN US reports the sum of noise in microseconds observed
by the osnoise tracer during the associated runtime.
- The % OF CPU AVAILABLE reports the percentage of CPU available for
the osnoise thread during the runtime window.
- The MAX SINGLE NOISE IN US reports the maximum single noise observed
during the runtime window.
- The Interference counters display how many each of the respective
interference happened during the runtime window.

Note that the example above shows a high number of HW noise samples.
The reason being is that this sample was taken on a virtual machine,
and the host interference is detected as a hardware interference.

Tracer options

The tracer has a set of options inside the osnoise directory, they are:

- osnoise/cpus: CPUs at which a osnoise thread will execute.
- osnoise/period_us: the period of the osnoise thread.
- osnoise/runtime_us: how long an osnoise thread will look for noise.
- osnoise/stop_tracing_us: stop the system tracing if a single noise
higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this
option.
- osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us: stop the system tracing if total noise
higher than the configured value happens. Writing 0 disables this
option.
- tracing_threshold: the minimum delta between two time() reads to be
considered as noise, in us. When set to 0, the default value will
be used, which is currently 5 us.

Additional Tracing

In addition to the tracer, a set of tracepoints were added to
facilitate the identification of the osnoise source.

- osnoise:sample_threshold: printed anytime a noise is higher than
the configurable tolerance_ns.
- osnoise:nmi_noise: noise from NMI, including the duration.
- osnoise:irq_noise: noise from an IRQ, including the duration.
- osnoise:softirq_noise: noise from a SoftIRQ, including the
duration.
- osnoise:thread_noise: noise from a thread, including the duration.

Note that all the values are *net values*. For example, if while osnoise
is running, another thread preempts the osnoise thread, it will start a
thread_noise duration at the start. Then, an IRQ takes place, preempting
the thread_noise, starting a irq_noise. When the IRQ ends its execution,
it will compute its duration, and this duration will be subtracted from
the thread_noise, in such a way as to avoid the double accounting of the
IRQ execution. This logic is valid for all sources of noise.

Here is one example of the usage of these tracepoints::

osnoise/8-961 [008] d.h. 5789.857532: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.857529929 duration 1845 ns
osnoise/8-961 [008] dNh. 5789.858408: irq_noise: local_timer:236 start 5789.858404871 duration 2848 ns
migration/8-54 [008] d... 5789.858413: thread_noise: migration/8:54 start 5789.858409300 duration 3068 ns
osnoise/8-961 [008] .... 5789.858413: sample_threshold: start 5789.858404555 duration 8723 ns interferences 2

In this example, a noise sample of 8 microseconds was reported in the last
line, pointing to two interferences. Looking backward in the trace, the
two previous entries were about the migration thread running after a
timer IRQ execution. The first event is not part of the noise because
it took place one millisecond before.

It is worth noticing that the sum of the duration reported in the
tracepoints is smaller than eight us reported in the sample_threshold.
The reason roots in the overhead of the entry and exit code that happens
before and after any interference execution. This justifies the dual
approach: measuring thread and tracing.

With the coming addition of the osnoise tracer, the configs needed to
include the latency_fsnotify() has become more complex, and to keep the
declaration in the header file the same as in the C file, just have the
logic needed to define it in one place, and that defines LATENCY_FS_NOTIFY
which will be used in the C code.

trace: Add a generic function to read/write u64 values from tracefs

The hwlat detector and (in preparation for) the osnoise/timerlat tracers
have a set of u64 parameters that the user can read/write

trace: Add a generic function to read/write u64 values from tracefs

The hwlat detector and (in preparation for) the osnoise/timerlat tracers
have a set of u64 parameters that the user can read/write via tracefs.
For instance, we have hwlat_detector's window and width.

To reduce the code duplication, hwlat's window and width share the same
read function. However, they do not share the write functions because
they do different parameter checks. For instance, the width needs to
be smaller than the window, while the window needs to be larger
than the window. The same pattern repeats on osnoise/timerlat, and
a large portion of the code was devoted to the write function.

Despite having different checks, the write functions have the same
structure:

read a user-space buffer
take the lock that protects the value
check for minimum and maximum acceptable values
save the value
release the lock
return success or error

To reduce the code duplication also in the write functions, this patch
provides a generic read and write implementation for u64 values that
need to be within some minimum and/or maximum parameters, while
(potentially) being protected by a lock.

To use this interface, the structure trace_min_max_param needs to be
filled:

struct trace_min_max_param {
struct mutex *lock;
u64 *val;
u64 *min;
u64 *max;
};

The desired value is stored on the variable pointed by *val. If *min
points to a minimum acceptable value, it will be checked during the
write operation. Likewise, if *max points to a maximum allowable value,
it will be checked during the write operation. Finally, if *lock points
to a mutex, it will be taken at the beginning of the operation and
released at the end.

The definition of a trace_min_max_param needs to passed as the
(private) *data for tracefs_create_file(), and the trace_min_max_fops
(added by this patch) as the *fops file_operations.
