16 years agox86: mmiotrace - trace memory mapped IO
Pekka Paalanen [Mon, 12 May 2008 19:20:56 +0000 (21:20 +0200)]
x86: mmiotrace - trace memory mapped IO

Mmiotrace is a tool for trapping memory mapped IO (MMIO) accesses within
the kernel. It is used for debugging and especially for reverse
engineering evil binary drivers.

Mmiotrace works by wrapping the ioremap family of kernel functions and
marking the returned pages as not present. Access to the IO memory
triggers a page fault, which will be handled by mmiotrace's custom page
fault handler. This will single-step the faulted instruction with the
MMIO page marked as present. Access logs are directed to user space via
relay and debug_fs.

This page fault approach is necessary, because binary drivers have
readl/writel etc. calls inlined and therefore extremely difficult to
trap with with e.g. kprobes.

kbuild: create new CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o option

We currently have a way to add special CFLAGS to code, but we do not have a
way to remove them if needed.

With the case of ftrace, some files should simply not be profiled. Adding
the -pg flag to these files is simply a waste, and adding "notrace" to each
and every function is ugly.

Currently we put in "Makefile turd" [1] to stop the compiler from adding -pg
to certain files. This was clumsy and awkward.

This patch now adds the revese of CFLAGS_(basename).o with
CFLAGS_REMOVE_(basename).o.  This allows developers to prevent certain
CFLAGS from being used to compile files. For example, we can now do

CFLAGS_REMOVE_string.o = -pg

to remove the -pg option from the string.o file in the lib directory.

Note: a space delimited list of options may be added to the REMOVE macro.

ftrace: do not profile lib/string.o

Most archs define the string and memory compare functions in assembly.
Some do not. But these functions may be used in some archs at early
boot up.

Since most archs define this code in assembly and they are not usually
traced, there's no need to trace them when they are not defined in
assembly.

This patch removes the -pg from the CFLAGS for lib/string.o.
This prevents the string functions use in either vdso or early bootup
from crashing the system.

ftrace: add trace_function api for other tracers to use

A new check was added in the ftrace function that wont trace if the CPU
trace buffer is disabled.  Unfortunately, other tracers used ftrace() to
write to the buffer after they disabled it. The new disable check makes
these calls into a nop.

new api for the other tracers to use, called "trace_function". The other
tracers use this interface instead when the trace CPU buffer is already

ftrace - fix dynamic ftrace memory leak

The ftrace dynamic function update allocates a record to store the
instruction pointers that are being modified. If the modified
instruction pointer fails to update, then the record is marked as
failed and nothing more is done.

Worse, if the modification fails, but the record ip function is still
called, it will allocate a new record and try again. In just a matter
of time, will this cause a serious memory leak and crash the system.

This patch plugs this memory leak. When a record fails, it is
included back into the pool of records to be used. Now a record may
fail over and over again, but the number of allocated records will
not increase.
