[PATCH v10 0/5] tracepoints: Add warnings for unused tracepoints and trace events

[PATCH v10 0/5] tracepoints: Add warnings for unused tracepoints and trace events

[Steven Rostedt]

Every trace event can take up to 5K of memory in text and metadata regardless
if they are used or not. Trace events should not be created if they are not
used.  Currently there's several events in the kernel that are defined
but unused, either because their callers were removed without removing the
trace event with it, or a config hides the trace event caller but not the
trace event itself. And in some cases, trace events were simply added but were
never called for whatever reason. The number of unused trace events continues
to grow.

This patch series aims to fix this.

The first patch moves the elf parsing out of sorttable.c so that it can be
used by other tooling.

The second patch creates a new program to run during build called
tracepoint-update (note this may be extended to do other tracepoint
modifications in the future). It also creates a new section called
__tracepoint_check, where all callers of a tracepoint creates a variable
that is placed in this section with the name of the tracepoint they use.
The scripts/tracepoint-update.c is used to find tracepoints that are defined
but not used which would mean they would not be in the __tracepoint_check
section. It sorts the names from that section, and then reads the
__tracepoint_strings section that has all compiled in tracepoint names. It
makes sure that every tracepoint is found in the check section and if not, it
prints a warning message about it.  This lists the missing tracepoints at
build time.

The third patch adds EXPORT_TRACEPOINT() to the __tracepoint_check section as
well. There was several locations that adds tracepoints in the kernel proper
that are only used in modules. It was getting quite complex trying to move
things around that I just decided to make any tracepoint in a
EXPORT_TRACEPOINT "used". I'm using the analogy of static and global
functions. An unused static function gets a warning but an unused global one
does not.

The last patch triggers warnings when a module defines a tracepoint but
does not use it.

The fourth patch updates the tracepoint-update program to handle modules.

Instead of hiding this behind a config option, where allmodconfig can
cause the warnings to trigger, and we don't want current warnings
to suddenly appear. Have the warnings trigger by a new make command line:

   make UT=1

This will enable the unused tracepoints warnings. Now this should not
be an issue to upstream before all warnings are removed. When all current
warnings are removed, we can then make this the default option where
it will always cause the build to warn if there's a unused tracepoint
defined. The UT=1 command line can then be removed.

Changes since v9: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20251015203842.618059565@kernel.org/

- Add backslash to end of __tracepoint_check in vmlinux.lds.h
  (Nathan Chancellor)

- Put the enabling of this around ifdef CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS as the
  tracepoint-update is only compiled when that is enabled.

- Add comment in make help that the UT=1 option is only temporary and will
  be removed when all current unused tracepoints are eliminated.

- Make updating tracepoint-update.c to handle modules a separate
  patch. This also allowed to pass "--module" to it to denote that
  the object is a module so that it can handle it differently.

- Remove use of "" in Makefile script (Nathan Chancellor)

- Use $(objtree) instead of ${obtree} (Nathan Chancellor)

- Move the update to tracepoint-update.c to a separate patch
  (Nathan Chancellor)

- Remove unneeded "else" block for cmd_check_tracepoint define
  (Nicolas Schier)

[PATCH v10 1/5] sorttable: Move ELF parsing into scripts/elf-parse.[ch]

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

In order to share the elf parsing that is in sorttable.c so that other
programs could use the same code, move it into elf-parse.c and
elf-parse.h.

[PATCH v10 2/5] tracing: Add a tracepoint verification check at build time

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If a tracepoint is defined via DECLARE_TRACE() or TRACE_EVENT() but never
called (via the trace_<tracepoint>() function), its metadata is still
around in memory and not discarded.

When created via TRACE_EVENT() the situation is worse because the
TRACE_EVENT() creates metadata that can be around 5k per trace event.
Having unused trace events causes several thousand of wasted bytes.

Add a verifier that injects a string of the name of the tracepoint it
calls that is added to the discarded section "__tracepoint_check".
For every builtin tracepoint, its name (which is saved in the in-memory
section "__tracepoint_strings") will have its name also in the
"__tracepoint_check" section if it is used.

Add a new program that is run on build called tracepoint-update. This is
executed on the vmlinux.o before the __tracepoint_check section is
discarded (the section is discarded before vmlinux is created). This
program will create an array of each string in the __tracepoint_check
section and then sort it. Then it will walk the strings in the
__tracepoint_strings section and do a binary search to check if its name
is in the __tracepoint_check section. If it is not, then it is unused and
a warning is printed.

Note, this currently only handles tracepoints that are builtin and not in
modules.

Enabling this currently with a given config produces:

warning: tracepoint 'sched_move_numa' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'sched_stick_numa' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'sched_swap_numa' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'pelt_hw_tp' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'pelt_irq_tp' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'rcu_preempt_task' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'rcu_unlock_preempted_task' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xdp_bulk_tx' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xdp_redirect_map' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xdp_redirect_map_err' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'vma_mas_szero' is unused.

warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_update_pmd' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'hugepage_update_pud' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'block_rq_remap' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_handle_event' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_handle_transfer' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_gadget_ep_queue' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_alloc_request' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_free_request' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_queue_request' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'xhci_dbc_giveback_request' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_wrong_maclen' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_mismatch' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_key_not_found' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_rnext_request' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_synack_no_key' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_snd_sne_update' is unused.
warning: tracepoint 'tcp_ao_rcv_sne_update' is unused.

Some of the above is totally unused but others are not used due to their
"trace_" functions being inside configs, in which case, the defined
tracepoints should also be inside those same configs. Others are
architecture specific but defined in generic code, where they should
either be moved to the architecture or be surrounded by #ifdef for the
architectures they are for.

This tool could be updated to process modules in the future.

I'd like to thank Mathieu Desnoyers for suggesting using strings instead
of pointers, as using pointers in vmlinux.o required handling relocations
and it required implementing almost a full feature linker to do so.

To enable this check, run the build with: make UT=1

Note, when all the existing unused tracepoints are removed from the build,
the "UT=1" will be removed and this will always be enabled when
tracepoints are configured to warn on any new tracepoints. The reason this
isn't always enabled now is because it will introduce a lot of warnings
for the current unused tracepoints, and all bisects would end at this
commit for those warnings.

Changes since v9: https://lore.kernel.org/20251015203924.391455037@kernel.org

- Add backslash to end of __tracepoint_check in vmlinux.lds.h
  (Nathan Chancellor)

- Put the enabling of this around ifdef CONFIG_TRACEPOINTS as the
  tracepoint-update is only compiled when that is enabled.

- Add comment in make help that the UT=1 option is only temporary and will
  be removed when all current unused tracepoints are eliminated.

[PATCH v10 3/5] tracepoint: Do not warn for unused event that is exported

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

There are a few generic events that may only be used by modules. They are
defined and then set with EXPORT_TRACEPOINT*(). Mark events that are
exported as being used, even though they still waste memory in the kernel
proper.

[PATCH v10 4/5] tracing: Allow tracepoint-update.c to work with modules

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

In order for tracepoint-update.c to work with modules, it cannot error out
if both "__tracepoint_check" and "__tracepoints_strings" are not found.
When enabled, the vmlinux.o may be required to have both, but modules only
have these sections if they have tracepoints. Modules without tracepoints
will not have either. They should not fail to build because of that.

If one section exists the other one should too. Note, if a module defines
a tracepoint but doesn't use any, it can cause this to fail.

Add a new "--module" parameter to tracepoint-update to be used when
running on module code. It will not error out if this is set and both
sections are missing. If this is set, and only the "__tracepoint_check"
section is missing, it means the module has defined tracepoints but none
of them are used. In that case, it prints a warning that the module has
only unused tracepoints and exits normally to not fail the build.

If the "__tracepoint_check" section exists but not the
"__tracepoint_strings", then that is an error and should fail the build.

[PATCH v10 5/5] tracing: Add warnings for unused tracepoints for modules

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If a modules has TRACE_EVENT() but does not use it, add a warning about it
at build time.

Currently, the build must be made by adding "UT=1" to the make command
line in order for this to trigger.
