Subject: [PATCH v7 0/6] tracing: More synthetic event error fixes

Hi,

This is v7 of the synthetic event error fix patchset. This version
addresses the comments from v6:

- moved check_command() from '[PATCH v6 3/6] tracing: Update synth
command errors' to '[PATCH v6 2/6] tracing: Rework synthetic event
command parsing'.

- in __create_synth_event(), moved mutex_lock(&event_mutex) after
is_good_name() check and changed related error handling.

- simplified check_command() a bit by calling argv_free() sooner as
suggested by Steve.

- added Steve's comment about check_field_version() into that
function and added additional comments to the caller.

Tom


v6 text:

Hi,

This is v6 of the synthetic event error fix patchset. This version
removes the semicolon-adding pass and instead adds an inner loop as
suggested by Masami. A different mechanism adding per-version field
checks was also added in place of the previous whole-string audit.

Also, moved the parse_synth_field() error message back into patch 2/6
(tracing: Rework synthetic event command parsing) and fixed the
problem with the !name problem as also noted by Masami, and added a
new patch (selftests/ftrace: Add '!event' synthetic event syntax
check) to check for that and prevent future changes from breaking it
again.

Tom


v5 text:

Hi,

This is v5 of the sythetic event error fix patchset. This version is
the same as v4 but with a few variable-initialization fixes flagged by
Dan Carpenter and the kernel test robot.

Tom

v4 text:

Hi,

This is v4 of the sythetic event error fix patchset. As suggested by
Steve, I added a new pass that adds semicolons to 'old' commands that
may be missing them, in order to maintain backward compatibility. All
commands are handled by the new and improved parsing code, but
commands missing the semicolons have them added before processing and
are therefore still valid. At some point in the future, as new
features are added and we can require any command containing them to
require semicolons, this pass can be completely skipped by detecting
those features in the currently empty audit_old_buffer() hook.

Also, as a result, the patch adding semicolons to the selftests is no
longer necessary (selftests/ftrace: Add synthetic event field
separators) and has been dropped in this series.

Tom


v3 text:

Hi,

This is v3 of the sythetic event error fix patchset. As suggested by
Masami, I split the 'tracing/dynevent: Delegate parsing to create
function' into two - one containing just the interface changes and the
second with the synthetic event parsing changes the first enabled.

I also replaced a couple argv_split() with strpbrk() as suggested by
Masami, along with removing the no-longer-used consume lines and
another line that tested ECANCELED that was no longer needed.

Also, removed a test case that was no longer needed since the commands
are now stripped of whitespace first.

Thanks, Masami, for the suggestions.

Tom

v2 text:

This is v2 of the previous sythetic event error fix patchset.

This version drops the original ([PATCH 1/4] tracing: Make
trace_*_run_command() more flexible) and (tracing: Use new
trace_run_command() options) patches and replaces them with Masami's
patch (tracing/dynevent: Delegate parsing to create function) [1].
The new version adds in all the synthetic event changes needed to
compile and use the new interface.

A new patch was also added (selftests/ftrace: Add synthetic event
field separators) that fixes more invalid synthetic event syntax I
found while testing.

I also added some more new checks to the synthetic event sytax error
testcase.

As before, I didn't see any problems running the entire ftrace
testsuite or the test modules that also use the things that were
touched here.

v1 text:

Hi,

This patchset addresses the synthetic event error anomalies reported
by Masami in the last patchset [1].

It turns out that most of the problems boil down to clunky separator
parsing; adding a couple new abilities to trace_run_command() and then
adapting the existing users seemed to me the best way to fix these
things, and also gets rid of some code.

Also, to make things easier for error display, I changed these to
preserve the original command string and pass it through the callback
instead of rebuilding it for error display.

I added some new error strings and removed unused ones as well, and
added a bunch of new test cases to the synthetic parser error test
case.

I didn't see any problems running the entire ftrace testsuite or the
test modules that also use the things that were touched here.

Thanks,

Tom

Subject: [PATCH v7 1/6] tracing/dynevent: Delegate parsing to create function

From: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]>

Delegate command parsing to each create function so that the
command syntax can be customized.

This requires changes to the kprobe/uprobe/synthetic event handling,
which are also included here.

Subject: [PATCH v7 5/6] selftests/ftrace: Update synthetic event syntax errors

Some of the synthetic event errors and positions have changed in the
code - update those and add several more tests.

Also add a runtime check to ensure that the kernel supports dynamic
strings in synthetic events, which these tests require.

Fixes: 81ff92a93d95 (selftests/ftrace: Add test case for synthetic
event syntax errors)

Subject: [PATCH v7 4/6] tracing: Add a backward-compatibility check for synthetic event creation

The synthetic event parsing rework now requires semicolons between
synthetic event fields. That requirement breaks existing users who
might already have used the old synthetic event command format, so
this adds an inner loop that can parse more than one field, if
present, between semicolons. For each field, parse_synth_field()
checks in which version that field was introduced, using
check_field_version(). The caller, __create_synth_event() can then use
that version information to determine whether or not to enforce the
requirement on the command as a whole.

In the future, if/when new features are added, the requirement will be
that any field/string containing the new feature must use semicolons,
and the check_field_version() check can then check for those and
enforce it. Using a version number allows this scheme to be extended
if necessary.

Subject: [PATCH v7 2/6] tracing: Rework synthetic event command parsing

Now that command parsing has been delegated to the create functions
and we're no longer constrained by argv_split(), we can modify the
synthetic event command parser to better match the higher-level
structure of the synthetic event commands, which is basically an event
name followed by a set of semicolon-separated fields.

Since we're also now passed the raw command, we can also save it
directly and can get rid of save_cmdstr().

After applying these, the following test fails:

test.d/trigger/inter-event/trigger-synthetic_event_syntax_errors.tc

It appears that:

echo 'myevent char str[];; int v' > synthetic_events

doesn't error after these changes.

Did you apply '[PATCH v7 5/6] selftests/ftrace: Update synthetic event
syntax errors' before you ran the test? It actually removes the test
that failed. Here's what I get with all patches applied:

# ./ftracetest test.d/trigger/inter-event/
=== Ftrace unit tests ===
[1] event trigger - test inter-event histogram trigger expected fail
actions [XFAIL]
[2] event trigger - test field variable support [PASS]

[4] event trigger - test multiple actions on hist trigger [PASS]
[5] event trigger - test inter-event histogram trigger onchange action

[6] event trigger - test inter-event histogram trigger onmatch action
[PASS]
[7] event trigger - test inter-event histogram trigger onmatch-onmax

Right, it shouldn't fail any more - that was one of the reasons for
reworking the parser, so things like that wouldn't fail.

My assumption, and the reason for adding '[PATCH v7 4/6] tracing: Add a
backward-compatibility check for synthetic event creation', was that we
didn't want previously-working things to suddenly start failing after
the rework, but not that things that used to fail would continue to
backwards-compatibly fail.

I thought I did, but I forgot that I applied your patches to a staging
branch, and not the one I checked out on the test machine.

Just checkout out the correct branch and reran the tests. They all
work. Sorry for the noise ;-)
