[RFC PATCH] function_graph: Support recording and printing the function return address
From: Donglin Peng
Date: Sun Sep 08 2024 - 10:26:04 EST
When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function
execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code
where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more
time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long.
This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address
of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs.
To distinguish the return value, 'V=' is used as the prefix for the kernel
return value, and 'A=' is used as the prefix for the return address in trace
logs. A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been added, and the
option 'sym-addr' can control the format of the return address.
See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled.
4) | load_elf_binary() { /* A=bprm_execve+0x249/0x600 */
4) | load_elf_phdrs() { /* A=load_elf_binary+0x84/0x1730 */
4) | __kmalloc_noprof() { /* A=load_elf_phdrs+0x4a/0xb0 */
4) + 47.910 us | __cond_resched(); /* V=0x0 A=__kmalloc_noprof+0x28c/0x390 */
4) ! 204.142 us | } /* __kmalloc_noprof V=0xffff888201e32c00 */
4) | kernel_read() { /* A=load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0 */
4) | rw_verify_area() { /* A=kernel_read+0x2b/0x50 */
4) | security_file_permission() {
4) | selinux_file_permission() { /* A=security_file_permission+0x26/0x40 */
4) | __inode_security_revalidate() { /* A=selinux_file_permission+0x6d/0x140 */
4) 1.182 us | __cond_resched(); /* V=0x0 A=__inode_security_revalidate+0x5f/0x80 */
4) 4.138 us | } /* __inode_security_revalidate V=0x0 */
4) 1.513 us | avc_policy_seqno(); /* V=0x0 A=selinux_file_permission+0x107/0x140 */
4) + 12.133 us | } /* selinux_file_permission V=0x0 */
4) + 39.834 us | } /* security_file_permission V=0x0 */
4) + 42.710 us | } /* rw_verify_area V=0x0 */
Then, we can use the faddr2line to locate the source code, for example:
$ ./scripts/faddr2line ./vmlinux load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0
load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0:
elf_read at fs/binfmt_elf.c:471
(inlined by) load_elf_phdrs at fs/binfmt_elf.c:531
