The 'bytes' info in file 'per_cpu/cpu<X>/stats' means the number of
bytes in cpu buffer that have not been consumed. However, currently
after consuming data by reading file 'trace_pipe', the 'bytes' info
was not changed as expected.
# cat per_cpu/cpu0/stats
entries: 0
overrun: 0
commit overrun: 0
bytes: 568 <--- 'bytes' is problematical !!!
oldest event ts: 8651.371479
now ts: 8653.912224
dropped events: 0
read events: 8
The root cause is incorrect stat on cpu_buffer->read_bytes. To fix it:
1. When stat 'read_bytes', account consumed event in rb_advance_reader();
2. When stat 'entries_bytes', exclude the discarded padding event which
is smaller than minimum size because it is invisible to reader. Then
use rb_page_commit() instead of BUF_PAGE_SIZE at where accounting for
page-based read/remove/overrun.
Also correct the comments of ring_buffer_bytes_cpu() in this patch.

Using the following code with libtracefs:
int dfd;
// create the directory events/kprobes/kp1
tracefs_kprobe_raw(NULL, "kp1", "schedule_timeout", "time=$arg1");
// Open the kprobes directory
dfd = tracefs_instance_file_open(NULL, "events/kprobes", O_RDONLY);
// Do a lookup of the kprobes/kp1 directory (by looking at enable)
tracefs_file_exists(NULL, "events/kprobes/kp1/enable");
// Now create a new entry in the kprobes directory
tracefs_kprobe_raw(NULL, "kp2", "schedule_hrtimeout", "expires=$arg1");
// Do another lookup to create the dentries
tracefs_file_exists(NULL, "events/kprobes/kp2/enable"))
// Close the directory
close(dfd);
What happened above, the first open (dfd) will call
dcache_dir_open_wrapper() that will create the dentries and up their ref
counts.
Now the creation of "kp2" will add another dentry within the kprobes
directory.
Upon the close of dfd, eventfs_release() will now do a dput for all the
entries in kprobes. But this is where the problem lies. The open only
upped the dentry of kp1 and not kp2. Now the close is decrementing both
kp1 and kp2, which causes kp2 to get a negative count.
Doing a "trace-cmd reset" which deletes all the kprobes cause the kernel
to crash! (due to the messed up accounting of the ref counts).
To solve this, save all the dentries that are opened in the
dcache_dir_open_wrapper() into an array, and use this array to know what
dentries to do a dput on in eventfs_release().
Since the dcache_dir_open_wrapper() calls dcache_dir_open() which uses the
file->private_data, we need to also add a wrapper around dcache_readdir()
that uses the cursor assigned to the file->private_data. This is because
the dentries need to also be saved in the file->private_data. To do this
create the structure:
struct dentry_list {
void *cursor;
struct dentry **dentries;
};
Which will hold both the cursor and the dentries. Some shuffling around is
needed to make sure that dcache_dir_open() and dcache_readdir() only see
the cursor.
