[PATCH RFC 0/2] Add basic tracing support for m68k

[PATCH RFC 0/2] Add basic tracing support for m68k

[Jean-Michel Hautbois]

In order to debug latency issues, I wanted to use ftrace on my M54418
coldfire. Sadly, it is not supported yet.
Thanks to Steven [1] it does not sound too difficult.

This small series adds basic functions to make it work, and for the few
tests I could do, it seems to be working well.

Here is a simple output I get:

```

```

I am very interested by any relevant test to do (switch events ?
Anything else ?) to improve the series (and the platform :-)).

I am quite sure I missed a *lot* of things, but it seems to do what I
need :-). I post it as RFC for now, in particular because I added a new
file, and I am not sure if it is the proper way.

Thanks for your remarks and improvements !

[PATCH RFC 1/2] m68k: Add tracirqs

[Jean-Michel Hautbois]

The TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT requires the architecture to call
trace_hardirqs_off() when interrupts are disabled and
trace_hardirqs_on() when they are enabled.
Add those calls to do_IRQ function.

This part of the patch shouldn't be needed because those shoudl be
called by irq_enter() and irq_exit(). Does this not work if you don't
have these?

Thanks for your quick review !
Indeed, it works without those lines, so the patch is now a one-liner 
:-). I will wait for the second part to be reviewed before sending v2.

I don't know enough about m68k to review that patch. Just incase you

I was not really expecting you to review the m68k one no :-).
I think I have other issues which might have impact on ftrace too.
For instance, when I launch cyclictest I have a warning about HRTIMERS:
# cyclictest -p 99
WARN: stat /dev/cpu_dma_latency failed: No such file or directory
WARN: High resolution timers not available
policy: fifo: loadavg: 1.21 0.40 0.14 1/122 245

T: 0 (  245) P:99 I:1000 C:  11203 Min:     92 Act:  623 Avg:  775 Max: 
   3516

The latencies are quite high...

But regarding ftrace it seems that the trace is not able to give me more 
than a microsecond precision. I addded a few trace_printk() in a driver 
of mine and I get:
  irq/182-dspi-sl-112     [000] D....   277.160000: dspi_interrupt:

Do you have any clue ?

Yes, if you don't have high resolution timers, the latency will be high.

Yes. The ring buffer clock is dependent on the architecture's clock. By
default, it uses whatever the scheduler clock uses. If the scheduler
clock is 1ms resolution, so will the tracing data be.

According to my config, I should have those:
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y

By default. So, I could change it to mono_raw for instance :-). It seems

Does your hardware have a high resolution timer, and do you have
a driver for it?

$ git grep hrtimer -- arch/m68k/

No, there is nothing with hrtimer. But, the architecture has four dma 
timers, with a 8ns resolution at 125MHz says the documentation. I will 
try to find a way to implement the missing part.

I gave it a hacky try. And it seems to be *a lot* better:
# cyclictest -p 99 -l 10000
WARN: stat /dev/cpu_dma_latency failed: No such file or directory
policy: fifo: loadavg: 1.18 0.71 0.33 1/122 258

I will try to clean it a bit for another patch set :-).

You will also have to add these calls to the three sites in 
arch/m68k/coldfire/head.S where interrupts are enabled or disabled.

Here:

There's one similar site in arch/m68k/kernel/head.S (ret_from_exception) 
where interrupts are enabled that would need a similar change, if you 
want to enable this for all m68k.

Registers %d0-%d5 and %a0-%a2 are saved on the stack at this point and 
can be clobbered if need be.

Cheers,

	Michael

Thanks for this ! I prepared a v2 with those calls added. I am wondering 
if my second patch is ok, I think it is not, could you please review it 
? There may already be something related to the stack in the assembly 
part useful to implement arch_stack_walk() in a different way ?

I won't be able to test it though ;-).
I see there are a few interrupts disabling in 
arch/m68k/include/asm/entry.h too ?

I don't know if they need to be clobbered...

Good -

I'll have to read up on how arch_stack_walk is supposed to work - have 
never seen that code before.

I doubt it

Right - that's different in the coldfire stack save/restore macros. I 
missed that before.

Looks like wherever SAVE_ALL_SYS, SAVE_ALL_INT and RESTORE_USER are 
used, calls to trace_irqs_on/off() are required as well.

RESTORE_USER only restores the IPL in the CONFIG_COLDFIRE_SW_A7, which 
makes this a little tricky ... you might have to add these calls to the 
macros to get the correct behaviour.

I meant to say that if you need registers to prepare function arguments 
for trace_irqs_on/off() on the stack, these can be used. But that may 
not be necessary in this case.

Note, the trace_hardirqs_on/off() needs to be done when interrupts are
disabled. That is:

	__local_irq_disable();
	trace_hardirqs_off();

	[..]

	trace_hardirqs_on();
	__local_irq_enable();

I don't know the m68k assembly, but from the comments it looks like you
are calling these with interrupts enabled.

I would suggest using Hatari for testing it, as that emulates real HW 
more accurately than Aranym, and provides better debugging & profiling 
utilities than either Aranym or real HW [1], especially for kernel side.

(Because ColdFire is close to m68k, Hatari can help in debugging also 
issues that are in Linux code they share.)

Here are detailed and IMHO easy instructions on how to do that:
https://hatari.tuxfamily.org/doc/m68k-linux.txt


I'd recommend using Git HEAD of Hatari [2] for testing though, because 
there was a recent fix to handling prefetch during bus errors, when 030 
MMU is enabled, and without that fix, prefetch + cache emulation would 
need to to be disabled for user-space to work correctly.  If you disable 
those (--compatible off --cycle-exact off), you can start with Hatari 
version from Linux distros though...

(You can mail me directly if you have problems with Hatari.  Getting 
ftrace working on m68k would be interesting.)

[PATCH RFC 2/2] arch: m68k: Add STACKTRACE support

[Jean-Michel Hautbois]

In order to use tracing, implement a basic arch_stack_walk() based on
the one in PowerPC.
Tested on a M54418 coldfire.

Well, I said it was tested, but it was only compile tested basically.
AFAICT now, I think it is not working as when I use wakeup_rt as a 
tracer, I don't have the stack trace:

Geert, Greg, and maybe other highly skilled m68k people, could you

If I am understanding what this is intended to do then this is probably not right.
This will be returning the current stack pointer, which will almost certainly not
be the current stack frame pointer. This will be the top of stack at the call site,
which will be after the pushed locals and saved registers at the very least for m68k.

Does your kernel config have CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER enabled?
The default for m68k is usually disabled. Without this there won't be a
chain of frame pointers to follow like the code is trying to do below in
arch_stack_walk().

Regards
Greg

Thanks, I added the frame pointers support (select 
ARCH_WANT_FRAME_POINTERS) but this is not better.

Oh, yeah, there is more required.

The current_stack_frame() function needs to change to actually return
with the start of the frame pointer chain. You need it to look like this:


static inline unsigned long current_stack_frame(void)
{
         unsigned long sp;

         asm volatile("movl %%fp, %0" : "=r"(sp));
         return sp;
}


Note that it is returning the "%fp" register - the current frame pointer.

Greg

Oh, thank you for this !
It is now really helpful !

I will use it and see if I can have more informations but, this makes

As you can see, stack_trace appears, but nothing is displayed so I 
suppose it does not walk at all...

I did a few tests (well, a *lot* to be honest :-)) after adding HR 
timers support on my m68k coldfire kernel.

Now, I think ftrace shows a nice issue, but I think my stack_trace is 
not correct ?

Nevertheless it sounds like a really high latency for wake_up().

I have a custom driver which basically gets an IRQ, and calls wake_up on 
a read() call. This wake_up() on a high cpu usage can be more than 1ms ! 
Even with a fifo/99 priority for my kernel thread !

I don't know if it rings any bell ?
I can obviously do more tests if it can help getting down to the issue :-).

Thanks !

awful is relative ;-) If that was on x86, I would say it was bad.

Also check out rtla (in tools/trace/rtla).

Thanks ! I knew it only by name, so I watched a presentation recorded 
during OSS summit given by Daniel Bristot de Oliveira who wrote it and 
it is really impressive !

I had to modify the source code a bit, as it does not compile with my 
uclibc toolchain:

But it is not enough, as executing rtla fails with a segfault.
I can dump a core, but I could not manage to build gdb for my board so I 
can't debug it (I don't know how to debug a coredump without gdb !).

I'm not sure what the consequence of the above would be. Perhaps Daniel
just copied this from other code?

Indeed printf gave me clues !
It appears to be a bug in libtracefs (v1.8.1). rtla segfaults when 
calling tracefs_local_events() in trace_instance_init().

Debugging libtracefs pointed me to the load_events() function, and the 
segfault happens after tep_parse_event() is called for 
"/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/vmscan/mm_vmscan_write_folio/format".

Going through the calls I get to event_read_print_args().
I changed libtraceevent log level to get the warnings, and it says:
libtraceevent: Resource temporarily unavailable
   unknown op '.'
Segmentation fault

Can you do me a favor and send me privately a tarball of:

 # cp -r /sys/kernel/tracing/events /tmp/events
 # cd /tmp
 # tar -cvjf events.tar.bz2 events

You can't call tar on the /sys/kernel/tracing files as those are pseudo
files with size of zero, and tar will just record empty files :-p

It crashes on parsing this:

name: mm_vmscan_write_folio
ID: 198
format:
	field:unsigned short common_type;	offset:0;	size:2;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_flags;	offset:2;	size:1;	signed:0;
	field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;	offset:3;	size:1;	signed:0;

	field:unsigned long pfn;	offset:8;	size:4;	signed:0;
	field:int reclaim_flags;	offset:12;	size:4;	signed:1;

print fmt: "page=%p pfn=0x%lx flags=%s", (mem_map + ((REC->pfn) - (m68k_memory[0].addr >> 13))), REC->pfn, (REC->reclaim_flags) ? __print_flags(REC->reclaim_flags, "|", {0x0001u, "RECLAIM_WB_ANON"}, {0x0002u, "RECLAIM_WB_FILE"}, {0x0010u, "RECLAIM_WB_MIXED"}, {0x0004u, "RECLAIM_WB_SYNC"}, {0x0008u, "RECLAIM_WB_ASYNC"} ) : "RECLAIM_WB_NONE"


It shouldn't crash, but it also found a bug in your code ;-)

You reference two variables that are not part of the event:

 "mem_map" and "m68k_memory[0].addr"

Do these variables ever change? Because the TP_printk() part of the
TRACE_EVENT() macro is called a long time after the event is recorded. It
could be seconds, minutes, days or even months (and unlikely possibly
years) later.

The event takes place and runs the TP_fast_assign() to record the event in
the ring buffer. Then some time later, when you read the "trace" file, the
TP_printk() portion gets run. If you wait months before reading that, it is
executed months later.

Now you have "mem_map" and "m68k_memory[0].addr" in that output that gets
run months after the fact. Are they constant throughout the boot?

Now another issue is that user space has no idea what those values are. Now
user space can not print the values. Currently the code crashes because you
are the first one to reference a global value from a trace event print fmt.
That should probably be fixed to simply fail to parse the event and ignore
the print format logic (which defaults to just printing the raw fields).

Running gdb on this, I found that it crashed on the "m68k_memory[0].addr"
because it failed to fail on the '.' that it doesn't know how to parse.

This patch should stop the crash (against libtraceevent)

I am really not the best placed to answer.
AFAIK, it sounds like those are never changing.

That would mean they are OK and will not corrupt the trace, but it will be
meaningless for tools like perf and trace-cmd.

Indeed, but the result is not straightforward this time :-(.

Long story short: it fails at kbuffer_load_subbuffer() call in
read_cpu_pages().

I added printf in the kbuffer helpers in libevent, and it finishes at:
__read_long_4: call read_4 at 0x600230c2
__read_4_sw: ptr=0x8044e2ac

static unsigned int __read_4_sw(void *ptr)
{
	printf("%s: ptr=%p, value: %08x\n", __func__, ptr, *(unsigned int *)ptr);
	unsigned int data = *(unsigned int *)ptr;
	printf("%s: data=%08x\n", __func__, data);

	return swap_4(data);
}

As soon as ptr is dereferenced, the segfault appears.
ptr should be ok though, as the address is valid afaik...

I must say that now I am stuck :-(.

Thanks,
JM

But you don't know what ptr it failed on, right?

If dereferencing a pointer will crash, the below line:

 	printf("%s: ptr=%p, value: %08x\n", __func__, ptr, *(unsigned int *)ptr);

Will crash before printing, because you are dereferencing ptr. Perhaps you
should change this to:

 	printf("%s: ptr=%p\n" value: %08x\n", __func__, ptr);
	printf("    value: %08x\n", *(unsigned int *)ptr);

And that way you will see what 'ptr' is before the crash. Or did you do
that already?

m68k_memory[0].addr never changes (that segment is usually where the 
kernel is loaded to, and can't be hotplugged).

mem_map is equal to NODE_DATA(0)->node_mem_map on m68k 
(mm/mm_init.c:__init alloc_node_mem_map()) and won't change either.

glibc added a gettid() wrapper with version 2.30; earlier glibc and
uclibc do not have it. That can be fixed by conditionally including
the inline function if on glibc lower than 2.30 or another libc; for
reference on how to detect that, see how kernel self tests do it [1].

As of the FOPTS changes: are those necessary for rtla to build, or
were you just using them for easier debugging? AFAIK rtla shouldn't
depend on unwind tables or stack protection for functionality.

I have seen a similar libtraceevent-related rtla segfault recently on
ARM64, which was fixed by updating libtraceevent to a version that
includes the fix. Such issues are caused by the files for kernel
tracepoint tracefs having different contents on different

Thanks, I will cook a patch !

Well, my toolchain does not support it, so it fails at link time:
   LINK    /home/yocto/Projects/wabtec/linux/tools/tracing/rtla/rtla
/opt/m68k-buildroot-linux-uclibc_sdk-buildroot/bin/../lib/gcc/m68k-buildroot-linux-uclibc/13.3.0/../../../../m68k-buildroot-linux-uclibc/bin/ld:

  <snip>

That's why I removed this option.

I will try to use the very last versions of both libtracefs and 
libtracevent and see if it is still happening !

Thanks !

Sorry, I misread the diff. I thought you were adding options, but you
are just removing  -fstack-protector-strong, right? I believe rtla
should check for the feature first before adding
-fstack-protector-strong, like perf does in
tools/perf/Makefile.config:

ifeq ($(feature-stackprotector-all), 1)
 CORE_CFLAGS += -fstack-protector-all
endif

The feature-stackprotector-all does a test build, if you have a
toolchain where building with -fstack-protector-all is broken for any
reason, it will return 0. You can try doing something similar for
rtla.
