[PATCH v4 29/57] ftrace/x86: implement HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Thu Aug 18 2016 - 09:28:08 EST
This allows the use of the more reliable version of
ftrace_graph_ret_addr() so we no longer have to worry about the unwinder
getting out of sync with the function graph ret_stack index, which can
happen if the unwinder skips any frames before calling
ftrace_graph_ret_addr().
This fixes this issue (and several others like it):
Before:
$ cat /proc/self/stack
[<ffffffff810489a2>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x22/0x40
[<ffffffff81311a89>] proc_pid_stack+0xb9/0x110
[<ffffffff813127c4>] proc_single_show+0x54/0x80
[<ffffffff812be088>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
[<ffffffff812923d7>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x140
[<ffffffff812929d9>] vfs_read+0x99/0x140
[<ffffffff81293f28>] SyS_read+0x58/0xc0
[<ffffffff818af97c>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x1f/0xbd
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
After:
$ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
$ cat /proc/self/stack
[<ffffffff818b2428>] ? return_to_handler+0x0/0x27
[<ffffffff810394cc>] print_context_stack+0xfc/0x100
[<ffffffff818b2428>] ? return_to_handler+0x0/0x27
[<ffffffff8103891b>] dump_trace+0x12b/0x350
[<ffffffff818b2428>] ? return_to_handler+0x0/0x27
[<ffffffff810489a2>] save_stack_trace_tsk+0x22/0x40
[<ffffffff818b2428>] ? return_to_handler+0x0/0x27
[<ffffffff81311a89>] proc_pid_stack+0xb9/0x110
[<ffffffff818b2428>] ? return_to_handler+0x0/0x27
[<ffffffff813127c4>] proc_single_show+0x54/0x80
[<ffffffff818b2428>] ? return_to_handler+0x0/0x27
[<ffffffff812be088>] seq_read+0x108/0x3e0
[<ffffffff818b2428>] ? return_to_handler+0x0/0x27
[<ffffffff812923d7>] __vfs_read+0x37/0x140
[<ffffffff818b2428>] ? return_to_handler+0x0/0x27
[<ffffffff812929d9>] vfs_read+0x99/0x140
[<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff
Enabling function graph tracing caused the stack trace to change: it was
offset by 2 frames because the unwinder started with an earlier stack
frame and got out of sync with the ret_stack index.
