Re: [PATCH v5 11/34] function_graph: Have the instances use their own ftrace_ops for filtering

From: Mark Rutland
Date: Mon Jan 08 2024 - 07:26:14 EST


Hi,

There's a bit more of an info-dump below; I'll go try to dump the fgraph shadow
stack so that we can analyse this in more detail.

Yes; I see it during the function_graph boot-time self-test if I also enable
CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER=y. I can also trigger it regardless of
CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER if I cat /proc/self/stack with the function_graph tracer
enabled (note that I hacked the unwinder to continue after failing to recover a
return address):

One interesting thing there is that there are two distinct failure modes: the
unwind for the WARNING gives return_to_handler instead of the original return
address, and the unwind returned from /proc/self/stack gives ftrace_stub_graph
rather than the original return address.

The portion of the trace with:

__do_softirq+0xe8/0x43c
return_to_handler+0x0/0x48
return_to_handler+0x0/0x48
do_softirq_own_stack+0x24/0x38

... should be something like:

__do_softirq
____do_softirq
call_on_irq_stack // asm trampoline, not traceable
do_softirq_own_stack

The generated assembly for do_softirq_own_stack(), ____do_softirq(), and
__do_softirq() is as I'd expect with no tail calls, so I can't see an obvious
reason the return address cannot be recovered correctly.

Do you mean HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST?

That is enabled, and there are warnings from ftrace_pop_return_trace(), so I
believe push/pop is balanced.

We also have HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RET_ADDR_PTR, but since the return address is
not on the stack at the point function-entry is intercepted we use the FP as
the retp value -- in the absence of tail calls this will be different between a
caller and callee.

Cool; thanks for confirming!

Sounds like a plan; as above I'll have a go at putting that together and will
dump the results here.

Thanks for the help! :)
