Subject: [for-next][PATCH 1/2] tracing: Fix stacktrace skip depth in trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs()
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 09:24:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160114142454.718809846@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20160114142418.933508009@goodmis.org

From: "Steven Rostedt (Red Hat)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
While cleaning the stacktrace code I unintentially changed the skip depth of
trace_buffer_unlock_commit_regs() from 0 to 6. kprobes uses this function,
and with skipping 6 call backs, it can easily produce no stack.
Here's how I tested it:
# echo 'p:ext4_sync_fs ext4_sync_fs ' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/trace
sync-2394 [005] 502.457060: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
sync-2394 [005] 502.457063: kernel_stack: <stack trace>
sync-2394 [005] 502.457086: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
sync-2394 [005] 502.457087: kernel_stack: <stack trace>
sync-2394 [005] 502.457091: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
After putting back the skip stack to zero, we have:
sync-2270 [000] 748.052693: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
sync-2270 [000] 748.052695: kernel_stack: <stack trace>
=> iterate_supers (ffffffff8126412e)
=> sys_sync (ffffffff8129c4b6)
=> entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff8181f0b2)
sync-2270 [000] 748.053017: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
sync-2270 [000] 748.053019: kernel_stack: <stack trace>
=> iterate_supers (ffffffff8126412e)
=> sys_sync (ffffffff8129c4b6)
=> entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff8181f0b2)
sync-2270 [000] 748.053381: ext4_sync_fs: (ffffffff81317650)
sync-2270 [000] 748.053383: kernel_stack: <stack trace>
=> iterate_supers (ffffffff8126412e)
=> sys_sync (ffffffff8129c4b6)
=> entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath (ffffffff8181f0b2)
