function_graph_enter_regs() prevents itself from recursion by
ftrace_test_recursion_trylock(), but __ftrace_return_to_handler(),
which is called at the exit, does not prevent such recursion.
Therefore, while it can prevent recursive calls from
fgraph_ops::entryfunc(), it is not able to prevent recursive calls
to fgraph from fgraph_ops::retfunc(), resulting in a recursive loop.
This can lead an unexpected recursion bug reported by Menglong.
is_endbr() is called in __ftrace_return_to_handler -> fprobe_return
-> kprobe_multi_link_exit_handler -> is_endbr.
To fix this issue, acquire ftrace_test_recursion_trylock() in the
__ftrace_return_to_handler() after unwind the shadow stack to mark
this section must prevent recursive call of fgraph inside user-defined
fgraph_ops::retfunc().
This is essentially a fix to commit 4346ba1604 ("fprobe: Rewrite
fprobe on function-graph tracer"), because before that fgraph was
only used from the function graph tracer. Fprobe allowed user to run
any callbacks from fgraph after that commit.

The function graph infrastructure is now generic so that kretprobes,
fprobes and BPF can use it. But there is still some leftover logic that
only the function graph tracer itself uses. This is the calculation of the
calltime and return time of the functions. The calculation of the calltime
has been moved into the function graph tracer and those users that need it
so that it doesn't cause overhead to the other users. But the return
function timestamp was still called.
Instead of just moving the taking of the timestamp into the function graph
trace remove the calltime and rettime completely from the ftrace_graph_ret
structure. Instead, move it into the function graph return entry event
structure and this also moves all the calltime and rettime logic out of
the generic fgraph.c code and into the tracing code that uses it.
This has been reported to decrease the overhead by ~27%.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure
The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function.
The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the
function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to
hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace
when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be
created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function
graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has
slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This
is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such
as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this
method does not scale.
The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started,
every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that
is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to
allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be
one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe
methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new
technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of
hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only
one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex.
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer
When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable
interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs
and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the
disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of
interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This
greatly improves its performance.
- Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the
kernel command line.
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.
Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
(before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

In __ftrace_return_to_handler(), a loop iterates over the fgraph_array[]
elements, which are fgraph_ops. The loop checks if an element is a
fgraph_stub to prevent using a fgraph_stub afterward.
However, if the compiler reloads fgraph_array[] after this check, it might
race with an update to fgraph_array[] that introduces a fgraph_stub. This
could result in the stub being processed, but the stub contains a null
"func_hash" field, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
To ensure that the gops compared against the fgraph_stub matches the gops
processed later, add a READ_ONCE(). A similar patch appears in commit
63a8dfb ("function_graph: Add READ_ONCE() when accessing fgraph_array[]").

A bug was discovered where the idle shadow stacks were not initialized
for offline CPUs when starting function graph tracer, and when they came
online they were not traced due to the missing shadow stack. To fix
this, the idle task shadow stack initialization was moved to using the
CPU hotplug callbacks. But it removed the initialization when the
function graph was enabled. The problem here is that the hotplug
callbacks are called when the CPUs come online, but the idle shadow
stack initialization only happens if function graph is currently
active. This caused the online CPUs to not get their shadow stack
initialized.
The idle shadow stack initialization still needs to be done when the
function graph is registered, as they will not be allocated if function
graph is not registered.

In the future, this size may change and may not be a power of two. Having

The ret_stack_list is an array of ret_stack shadow stacks for the function
graph usage. When the first function graph is enabled, all tasks in the
system get a shadow stack. The ret_stack_list is a 32 element array of
pointers to these shadow stacks. It allocates the shadow stack in batches
(32 stacks at a time), assigns them to running tasks, and continues until
all tasks are covered.
When the function graph shadow stack changed from an array of
ftrace_ret_stack structures to an array of longs, the allocation of
ret_stack_list went from allocating an array of 32 elements to just a
block defined by SHADOW_STACK_SIZE. Luckily, that's defined as PAGE_SIZE
and is much more than enough to hold 32 pointers. But it is way overkill
for the amount needed to allocate.
Change the allocation of ret_stack_list back to a kcalloc() of
FTRACE_RETSTACK_ALLOC_SIZE pointers.

The function graph infrastructure allocates a shadow stack for every task
when enabled. This includes the idle tasks. The first time the function
graph is invoked, the shadow stacks are created and never freed until the
task exits. This includes the idle tasks.
Only the idle tasks that were for online CPUs had their shadow stacks
created when function graph tracing started. If function graph tracing is
enabled and a CPU comes online, the idle task representing that CPU will
not have its shadow stack created, and all function graph tracing for that
idle task will be silently dropped.
Instead, use the CPU hotplug mechanism to allocate the idle shadow stacks.
This will include idle tasks for CPUs that come online during tracing.
This issue can be reproduced by:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 0 > set_ftrace_pid
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# echo 1 > options/funcgraph-proc
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1
# grep '<idle>' per_cpu/cpu1/trace | head
Before, nothing would show up.
After:
1) <idle>-0 | 0.811 us | __enqueue_entity();
1) <idle>-0 | 5.626 us | } /* enqueue_entity */
1) <idle>-0 | | dl_server_update_idle_time() {

1) <idle>-0 | | enqueue_dl_entity() {
1) <idle>-0 | | task_contending() {
Note, if tracing stops and restarts, the old way would then initialize

When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function
execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code
where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more
time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long.
This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address
of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs.
To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return
value, while '<-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to
make it look more like the function tracer.
A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the
existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return
address.
See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled.

The fgraph "sleep-time" option tells the function graph tracer and the
profiler whether to include the time a function "sleeps" (is scheduled off
the CPU) in its duration for the function. By default it is true, which
means the duration of a function is calculated by the timestamp of when the
function was entered to the timestamp of when it exits.
If the "sleep-time" option is disabled, it needs to remove the time that the
task was not running on the CPU during the function. Currently it is done in
a sched_switch tracepoint probe where it moves the "calltime" (time of entry
of the function) forward by the sleep time calculated. It updates all the
calltime in the shadow stack.
This is time consuming for those users of the function graph tracer that
does not care about the sleep time. Instead, add a "ftrace_sleeptime" to the
task_struct that gets the sleep time added each time the task wakes up. Then
have the function entry save the current "ftrace_sleeptime" and on function
exit, move the calltime forward by the difference of the current
"ftrace_sleeptime" from the saved sleeptime.
This removes one dependency of "calltime" needed to be on the shadow stack.
It also simplifies the code that removes the sleep time of functions.

Since the register_ftrace_graph() assigns a new fgraph_ops to
fgraph_array before registring it by ftrace_startup_subops(), the new
fgraph_ops can be used in function_graph_enter().
In most cases, it is still OK because those fgraph_ops's hashtable is
already initialized by ftrace_set_filter*() etc.
But if a user registers a new fgraph_ops which does not initialize the
hash list, ftrace_ops_test() in function_graph_enter() causes a NULL
pointer dereference BUG because fgraph_ops->ops.func_hash is NULL.
This can be reproduced by the below commands because function profiler's
fgraph_ops does not initialize the hash list;
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# echo 1 > function_profile_enabled
To fix this problem, add a new fgraph_ops to fgraph_array after
ftrace_startup_subops(). Thus, until the new fgraph_ops is initialized,
we will see fgraph_stub on the corresponding fgraph_array entry.

In function_graph_enter() there's a loop that looks at fgraph_array[]
elements which are fgraph_ops. It first tests if it is a fgraph_stub op,
and if so skips it, as that's just there as a place holder. Then it checks
the fgraph_ops filters to see if the ops wants to trace the current
function.
But if the compiler reloads the fgraph_array[] after the check against
fgraph_stub, it could race with the fgraph_array[] being updated with the
fgraph_stub. That would cause the stub to be processed. But the stub has a
null "func_hash" field which will cause a NULL pointer dereference.
Add a READ_ONCE() so that the gops that is compared against the
fgraph_stub is also the gops that is processed later.

There are cases where a single system will use a single function callback
to handle multiple users. For example, to allow function_graph tracer to
have multiple users where each can trace their own set of functions, it is
useful to only have one ftrace_ops registered to ftrace that will call a
function by the function_graph tracer to handle the multiplexing with the
different registered function_graph tracers.
Add a "subop_list" to the ftrace_ops that will hold a list of other
ftrace_ops that the top ftrace_ops will manage.
The function ftrace_startup_subops() that takes the manager ftrace_ops and
a subop ftrace_ops it will manage. If there are no subops with the
ftrace_ops yet, it will copy the ftrace_ops subop filters to the manager
ftrace_ops and register that with ftrace_startup(), and adds the subop to
its subop_list. If the manager ops already has something registered, it
will then merge the new subop filters with what it has and enable the new
functions that covers all the subops it has.
To remove a subop, ftrace_shutdown_subops() is called which will use the
subop_list of the manager ops to rebuild all the functions it needs to
trace, and update the ftrace records to only call the functions it now has
registered. If there are no more functions registered, it will then call
ftrace_shutdown() to disable itself completely.
Note, it is up to the manager ops callback to always make sure that the
subops callbacks are called if its filter matches, as there are times in
the update where the callback could be calling more functions than those
that are currently registered.
This could be updated to handle other systems other than function_graph,
for example, fprobes could use this (but will need an interface to call
ftrace_startup_subops()).
