Subject: [PATCH v4] ftrace: Get the true parent ip for function tracer
When using both function tracer and function graph simultaneously,
it is found that function tracer sometimes captures a fake parent ip
(return_to_handler) instead of the true parent ip.
This issue is easy to reproduce. Below are my reproduction steps:
jeff-labs:~/bin # ./trace-net.sh
jeff-labs:~/bin # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/foo/trace | grep return_to_handler
trace-net.sh-405 [001] ...2. 31.859501: avc_has_perm+0x4/0x190 <-return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
trace-net.sh-405 [001] ...2. 31.859503: simple_setattr+0x4/0x70 <-return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
trace-net.sh-405 [001] ...2. 31.859503: truncate_pagecache+0x4/0x60 <-return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
trace-net.sh-405 [001] ...2. 31.859505: unmap_mapping_range+0x4/0x140 <-return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
trace-net.sh-405 [001] ...3. 31.859508: _raw_spin_unlock+0x4/0x30 <-return_to_handler+0x0/0x40
[...]
The following is my simple trace script:
<snip>
jeff-labs:~/bin # cat ./trace-net.sh
TRACE_PATH="/sys/kernel/debug/tracing"
set_events() {
echo 1 > $1/events/net/enable
echo 1 > $1/events/tcp/enable
echo 1 > $1/events/sock/enable
echo 1 > $1/events/napi/enable
echo 1 > $1/events/fib/enable
echo 1 > $1/events/neigh/enable
}
set_events ${TRACE_PATH}
echo 1 > ${TRACE_PATH}/options/sym-offset
echo 1 > ${TRACE_PATH}/options/funcgraph-tail
echo 1 > ${TRACE_PATH}/options/funcgraph-proc
echo 1 > ${TRACE_PATH}/options/funcgraph-abstime
echo 'tcp_orphan*' > ${TRACE_PATH}/set_ftrace_notrace
echo function_graph > ${TRACE_PATH}/current_tracer
INSTANCE_FOO=${TRACE_PATH}/instances/foo
if [ ! -e $INSTANCE_FOO ]; then
mkdir ${INSTANCE_FOO}
fi
set_events ${INSTANCE_FOO}
echo 1 > ${INSTANCE_FOO}/options/sym-offset
echo 'tcp_orphan*' > ${INSTANCE_FOO}/set_ftrace_notrace
echo function > ${INSTANCE_FOO}/current_tracer
echo 1 > ${TRACE_PATH}/tracing_on
echo 1 > ${INSTANCE_FOO}/tracing_on
echo > ${TRACE_PATH}/trace
echo > ${INSTANCE_FOO}/trace

v4:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20241005101320.766c1100@rorschach.local.home/
- fixed the crash when accessing the "current" if the arch has not implemented noinstr
thanks steve for the testing and the detailed explanation
v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240910001326.87f27e6b312f1d956cf352a2@kernel.org/
- fixed build error when CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=n suggested by Masami
v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20240821095910.1888d7fa@gandalf.local.home/
- Adding __always_inline to function_get_true_parent_ip suggested by Steve
