When CLANG_CFI is in use, using tracing will occasionally result in
CFI failures, e.g.

| ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
This happens because the function prototype of tp_sub_func doesn't match
the prototype of the tracepoint function. As each tracepoint may have a
distinct prototype, it's not possible to share a common stub function.
Avoid this by comparing the tracepoint function pointer to the value 1
before calling each function.
Prior to this change, it_func_ptr->func was loaded twice per loop
iteration:
it_func = READ_ONCE((it_func_ptr)->func);
[...]
} while ((++it_func_ptr)->func);
With this change, the loaded it_func is used for comparisons with 0 (end
of loop), 1 (skip) and as a function pointer, thus saving a load per
loop.
The comparison with <= TRACEPOINT_FUNC_SKIP is done on purpose to branch
over both comparisons with 0 and 1 with a single branch for each loop
and an extra conditional branch on the last loop to compare with 0.
A simplified example of this compiled on godbolt.org:
#include <stdint.h>
typedef void (*f_t)(void);
volatile f_t *arr;
void fct(void)
{
volatile f_t *iter = &arr[0];
for (;;) {
f_t l_iter = *iter;
if (((uintptr_t)l_iter <= 0x1)) {
if ((uintptr_t)l_iter == 0x1)
continue;
else
break;
}
l_iter();
iter++;
}
}
Generates:
x86-64 gcc 12.2 -O2:
fct:
push rbx
mov rbx, QWORD PTR arr[rip]
.L29:
mov rax, QWORD PTR [rbx]
cmp rax, 1
jbe .L38
.L30:
call rax
mov rax, QWORD PTR [rbx+8]
add rbx, 8
cmp rax, 1
ja .L30
.L38:
je .L29
pop rbx
ret
clang 16.0.0 -O2:
fct: # @fct
push rbx
mov rbx, qword ptr [rip + arr]
.LBB0_1: # =>This Inner Loop Header: Depth=1
mov rax, qword ptr [rbx]
cmp rax, 1
ja .LBB0_4
je .LBB0_1
jmp .LBB0_3
.LBB0_4: # in Loop: Header=BB0_1 Depth=1
call rax
add rbx, 8
jmp .LBB0_1
.LBB0_3:
pop rbx
ret
arr:
.quad 0
On x86, the result of the "cmp" instruction is used to conditionally
branch based on both inequality (jbe, ja) and equality (je), thus
keeping the code size small and limiting the number of instructions to
execute on this tracepoint instrumentation fast path.

It appears there was a typo in this Tested-by address from Mark. Steven,
should I resend or can you correct this as you pick it up ?

Sorry to ping, but are you planning to pick this up, and/or did you want this
resent with the Testing-by typo fixed?
I couldn't spot it in the tracing tree, and I'm not sure if it's still on your
TODO list for review or has just been missed.
Thanks,
Mark.

Actually, we may be going back to your original patches, as having a stub
function for every trace event will allow us to attach fprobes to them. And
we actually have a need to do that (connecting to tracepoints to get more
info than the trace event gives).
Masami is currently working on this.

I think we need another stub function similar to the original patch, because
the __tracestub_* functions are usually not called back. Even if I enabled
the static key to enable the stub callback, if user sets another callback
handler to the tracepoint (e.g. enable trace event on it), the __tracestub_*
function is not called anymore.
Thus I think we just pick this version and add another patch to introduce
__probestub_* functions in macro, and fprobe on it. This new stub function is
something like the original one so that it doesn't break CFI. And it will be
registered to tracepoint when the new fprobe based dynamic event is enabled.
Thank you,

If we are going to add *another* stub, then no, I don't want to use it. But
I don't see why we can't use one stub for both?
What's the issue you are having?
