Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 1/2] ring-buffer: Show persistent buffer dropped events in trace_pipe file
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 15:14:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260910191427.1482318-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026090939-revisable-paving-9733@gregkh>

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

[ Upstream commit 8928e4a3be34bf053f9ef1cad67263604bf4f05e ]

When the persistent ring buffer is validated on boot up, if a subbuffer is
deemed invalid, it resets the buffer and continues. Have the code preserve
the RB_MISSED_EVENTS flag in the commit portion of the subbuffer header
and pass that back so that the trace_pipe file can show the missed events
like the trace file does.

For example:

   <...>-1242    [005] d....  4429.120116: page_fault_user: address=0x7ffaebb6e728 ip=0x7ffaeb9d4960 error_code=0x7

   <...>-1242    [005] d..2.  4429.120132: tlb_flush: pages:1 reason:local MM shootdown (3)
CPU:5 [LOST EVENTS]
   <...>-1242    [005] d....  4429.120661: page_fault_user: address=0x55ba7c2d0944 ip=0x55ba7c20cd02 error_code=0x7

Backport notes for 6.18:

Keep the ring_buffer_read_page() changes needed as context for
6365c44a824f ("ring-buffer: Allow splice reads on static buffers").
Separate the raw commit flags from the page byte count and preserve the
lost-events flag when copying page contents. Keep the existing bpage name,
rb_page_capacity(reader) bounds and unsigned lost-event count. Read and
mask bpage->commit directly instead of adding the newer data-page helpers.

Drop the reader-page unknown-loss propagation: this tree lacks the
persistent invalid-subbuffer recovery and signed-loss reporting changes
that make that path meaningful.

Keep the copy loop bounded by the page size, not event_size, avoiding the
one-event-per-read regression subsequently fixed by af05b4e06279. Preserve
the loss flag when trimming a swapped page to real_end, and combine output
flags with bitwise OR so an already-set flag is not added a second time.
