Unlike /proc, which is only meant for information +about a process, or sysfs, which has strict one-value-per-file rules, +debugfs has no rules at all. Developers can put any information they want +there. The debugfs filesystem is also intended to not serve as a stable +ABI to user space; in theory, there are no stability constraints placed on +files exported there. The real world is not always so simple, though [1]; +even debugfs interfaces are best designed with the idea that they will need +to be maintained forever. + +Debugfs is typically mounted with a command like: + + mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug + +(Or an equivalent /etc/fstab line). + +Note that the debugfs API is exported GPL-only to modules. + +Code using debugfs should include <linux/debugfs.h>. Then, the first order +of business will be to create at least one directory to hold a set of +debugfs files: + + struct dentry *debugfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent); + +This call, if successful, will make a directory called name underneath the +indicated parent directory. If parent is NULL, the directory will be +created in the debugfs root. On success, the return value is a struct +dentry pointer which can be used to create files in the directory (and to +clean it up at the end). A NULL return value indicates that something went +wrong. If ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) is returned, that is an indication that the +kernel has been built without debugfs support and none of the functions +described below will work. + +The most general way to create a file within a debugfs directory is with: + + struct dentry *debugfs_create_file(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, void *data, + const struct file_operations *fops); + +Here, name is the name of the file to create, mode describes the access +permissions the file should have, parent indicates the directory which +should hold the file, data will be stored in the i_private field of the +resulting inode structure, and fops is a set of file operations which +implement the file's behavior. At a minimum, the read() and/or write() +operations should be provided; others can be included as needed. Again, +the return value will be a dentry pointer to the created file, NULL for +error, or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) if debugfs support is missing. + +In a number of cases, the creation of a set of file operations is not +actually necessary; the debugfs code provides a number of helper functions +for simple situations. Files containing a single integer value can be +created with any of: + + struct dentry *debugfs_create_u8(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, u8 *value); + struct dentry *debugfs_create_u16(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, u16 *value); + struct dentry *debugfs_create_u32(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, u32 *value); + struct dentry *debugfs_create_u64(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, u64 *value); + +These files support both reading and writing the given value; if a specific +file should not be written to, simply set the mode bits accordingly. The +values in these files are in decimal; if hexadecimal is more appropriate, +the following functions can be used instead: + + struct dentry *debugfs_create_x8(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, u8 *value); + struct dentry *debugfs_create_x16(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, u16 *value); + struct dentry *debugfs_create_x32(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, u32 *value); + +Note that there is no debugfs_create_x64(). + +These functions are useful as long as the developer knows the size of the +value to be exported. Some types can have different widths on different +architectures, though, complicating the situation somewhat. There is a +function meant to help out in one special case: + + struct dentry *debugfs_create_size_t(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, + size_t *value); + +As might be expected, this function will create a debugfs file to represent +a variable of type size_t. + +Boolean values can be placed in debugfs with: + + struct dentry *debugfs_create_bool(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, u32 *value); + +A read on the resulting file will yield either Y (for non-zero values) or +N, followed by a newline. If written to, it will accept either upper- or +lower-case values, or 1 or 0. Any other input will be silently ignored. + +Finally, a block of arbitrary binary data can be exported with: + + struct debugfs_blob_wrapper { + void *data; + unsigned long size; + }; + + struct dentry *debugfs_create_blob(const char *name, mode_t mode, + struct dentry *parent, + struct debugfs_blob_wrapper *blob); + +A read of this file will return the data pointed to by the +debugfs_blob_wrapper structure. Some drivers use "blobs" as a simple way +to return several lines of (static) formatted text output. This function +can be used to export binary information, but there does not appear to be +any code which does so in the mainline. Note that all files created with +debugfs_create_blob() are read-only. + +There are a couple of other directory-oriented helper functions: + + struct dentry *debugfs_rename(struct dentry *old_dir, + struct dentry *old_dentry, + struct dentry *new_dir, + const char *new_name); + + struct dentry *debugfs_create_symlink(const char *name, + struct dentry *parent, + const char *target); + +A call to debugfs_rename() will give a new name to an existing debugfs +file, possibly in a different directory.

Similar changes are needed for +pthread_cond_timedwait() and pthread_cond_signal(). + +Implementation +-------------- + +In order to ensure the rt_mutex has an owner if it has waiters, it +is necessary for both the requeue code, as well as the waiting code, +to be able to acquire the rt_mutex before returning to user space. +The requeue code cannot simply wake the waiter and leave it to +acquire the rt_mutex as it would open a race window between the +requeue call returning to user space and the waiter waking and +starting to run. This is especially true in the uncontended case. + +The solution involves two new rt_mutex helper routines, +rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() and rt_mutex_finish_proxy_lock(), which +allow the requeue code to acquire an uncontended rt_mutex on behalf +of the waiter and to enqueue the waiter on a contended rt_mutex. +Two new system calls provide the kernel<->user interface to +requeue_pi: FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI and FUTEX_REQUEUE_CMP_PI. + +FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI is called by the waiter (pthread_cond_wait() +and pthread_cond_timedwait()) to block on the initial futex and wait +to be requeued to a PI-aware futex. The implementation is the +result of a high-speed collision between futex_wait() and +futex_lock_pi(), with some extra logic to check for the additional +wake-up scenarios. + +FUTEX_REQUEUE_CMP_PI is called by the waker +(pthread_cond_broadcast() and pthread_cond_signal()) to requeue and +possibly wake the waiting tasks. Internally, this system call is +still handled by futex_requeue (by passing requeue_pi=1). Before +requeueing, futex_requeue() attempts to acquire the requeue target +PI futex on behalf of the top waiter. If it can, this waiter is +woken. futex_requeue() then proceeds to requeue the remaining +nr_wake+nr_requeue tasks to the PI futex, calling +rt_mutex_start_proxy_lock() prior to each requeue to prepare the +task as a waiter on the underlying rt_mutex. It is possible that +the lock can be acquired at this stage as well, if so, the next +waiter is woken to finish the acquisition of the lock. + +FUTEX_REQUEUE_PI accepts nr_wake and nr_requeue as arguments, but +their sum is all that really matters. futex_requeue() will wake or +requeue up to nr_wake + nr_requeue tasks. It will wake only as many +tasks as it can acquire the lock for, which in the majority of cases +should be 0 as good programming practice dictates that the caller of +either pthread_cond_broadcast() or pthread_cond_signal() acquire the +mutex prior to making the call.

A similar method is used by the +Valgrind tool (memcheck --leak-check) to detect the memory leaks in +user-space applications. + +Usage +----- + +CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK in "Kernel hacking" has to be enabled. A kernel +thread scans the memory every 10 minutes (by default) and prints any new +unreferenced objects found. To trigger an intermediate scan and display +all the possible memory leaks: + + # mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug/ + # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak + +Note that the orphan objects are listed in the order they were allocated +and one object at the beginning of the list may cause other subsequent +objects to be reported as orphan. + +Memory scanning parameters can be modified at run-time by writing to the +/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file. The following parameters are supported: + + off - disable kmemleak (irreversible) + stack=on - enable the task stacks scanning + stack=off - disable the tasks stacks scanning + scan=on - start the automatic memory scanning thread + scan=off - stop the automatic memory scanning thread + scan=<secs> - set the automatic memory scanning period in seconds (0 + to disable it) + +Kmemleak can also be disabled at boot-time by passing "kmemleak=off" on +the kernel command line. + +Basic Algorithm +--------------- + +The memory allocations via kmalloc, vmalloc, kmem_cache_alloc and +friends are traced and the pointers, together with additional +information like size and stack trace, are stored in a prio search tree. +The corresponding freeing function calls are tracked and the pointers +removed from the kmemleak data structures. + +An allocated block of memory is considered orphan if no pointer to its +start address or to any location inside the block can be found by +scanning the memory (including saved registers). This means that there +might be no way for the kernel to pass the address of the allocated +block to a freeing function and therefore the block is considered a +memory leak. + +The scanning algorithm steps: + + 1. mark all objects as white (remaining white objects will later be + considered orphan) + 2. scan the memory starting with the data section and stacks, checking + the values against the addresses stored in the prio search tree. If + a pointer to a white object is found, the object is added to the + gray list + 3. scan the gray objects for matching addresses (some white objects + can become gray and added at the end of the gray list) until the + gray set is finished + 4. the remaining white objects are considered orphan and reported via + /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak + +Some allocated memory blocks have pointers stored in the kernel's +internal data structures and they cannot be detected as orphans. To +avoid this, kmemleak can also store the number of values pointing to an +address inside the block address range that need to be found so that the +block is not considered a leak. One example is __vmalloc(). + +Kmemleak API +------------ + +See the include/linux/kmemleak.h header for the functions prototype. + +kmemleak_init - initialize kmemleak +kmemleak_alloc - notify of a memory block allocation +kmemleak_free - notify of a memory block freeing +kmemleak_not_leak - mark an object as not a leak +kmemleak_ignore - do not scan or report an object as leak +kmemleak_scan_area - add scan areas inside a memory block +kmemleak_no_scan - do not scan a memory block +kmemleak_erase - erase an old value in a pointer variable +kmemleak_alloc_recursive - as kmemleak_alloc but checks the recursiveness +kmemleak_free_recursive - as kmemleak_free but checks the recursiveness + +Dealing with false positives/negatives +-------------------------------------- + +The false negatives are real memory leaks (orphan objects) but not +reported by kmemleak because values found during the memory scanning +point to such objects. To reduce the number of false negatives, kmemleak +provides the kmemleak_ignore, kmemleak_scan_area, kmemleak_no_scan and +kmemleak_erase functions (see above). The task stacks also increase the +amount of false negatives and their scanning is not enabled by default. + +The false positives are objects wrongly reported as being memory leaks +(orphan). For objects known not to be leaks, kmemleak provides the +kmemleak_not_leak function. The kmemleak_ignore could also be used if +the memory block is known not to contain other pointers and it will no +longer be scanned. + +Some of the reported leaks are only transient, especially on SMP +systems, because of pointers temporarily stored in CPU registers or +stacks. Kmemleak defines MSECS_MIN_AGE (defaulting to 1000) representing +the minimum age of an object to be reported as a memory leak. + +Limitations and Drawbacks +------------------------- + +The main drawback is the reduced performance of memory allocation and +freeing. To avoid other penalties, the memory scanning is only performed +when the /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak file is read. Anyway, this tool is +intended for debugging purposes where the performance might not be the +most important requirement. + +To keep the algorithm simple, kmemleak scans for values pointing to any +address inside a block's address range. This may lead to an increased +number of false negatives. However, it is likely that a real memory leak +will eventually become visible. + +Another source of false negatives is the data stored in non-pointer +values. In a future version, kmemleak could only scan the pointer +members in the allocated structures. This feature would solve many of +the false negative cases described above. + +The tool can report false positives. These are cases where an allocated +block doesn't need to be freed (some cases in the init_call functions), +the pointer is calculated by other methods than the usual container_of +macro or the pointer is stored in a location not scanned by kmemleak. + +Page allocations and ioremap are not tracked. Only the ARM and x86 +architectures are currently supported. diff --git a/Documentation/lguest/Makefile b/Documentation/lguest/Makefile index 1f4f9e888bd..28c8cdfcafd 100644 --- a/Documentation/lguest/Makefile +++ b/Documentation/lguest/Makefile @@ -1,6 +1,5 @@ # This creates the demonstration utility "lguest" which runs a Linux guest. -CFLAGS:=-Wall -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -O3 -I../../include -I../../arch/x86/include -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -LDLIBS:=-lz +CFLAGS:=-m32 -Wall -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -O3 -I../../include -I../../arch/x86/include -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE all: lguest diff --git a/Documentation/lguest/lguest.c b/Documentation/lguest/lguest.c index d36fcc0f271..9ebcd6ef361 100644 --- a/Documentation/lguest/lguest.c +++ b/Documentation/lguest/lguest.c @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/wait.h> +#include <sys/eventfd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <stdbool.h> #include <errno.h> @@ -59,7 +60,6 @@ typedef uint8_t u8; /*:*/ #define PAGE_PRESENT 0x7 /* Present, RW, Execute */ -#define NET_PEERNUM 1 #define BRIDGE_PFX "bridge:" #ifndef SIOCBRADDIF #define SIOCBRADDIF 0x89a2 /* add interface to bridge */ @@ -76,19 +76,12 @@ static bool verbose; do { if (verbose) printf(args); } while(0) /*:*/ -/* File descriptors for the Waker. */ -struct { - int pipe[2]; - int lguest_fd; -} waker_fds; - /* The pointer to the start of guest memory. */ static void *guest_base; /* The maximum guest physical address allowed, and maximum possible. */ static unsigned long guest_limit, guest_max; -/* The pipe for signal hander to write to. */ -static int timeoutpipe[2]; -static unsigned int timeout_usec = 500; +/* The /dev/lguest file descriptor. */ +static int lguest_fd; /* a per-cpu variable indicating whose vcpu is currently running */ static unsigned int __thread cpu_id; @@ -96,11 +89,6 @@ static unsigned int __thread cpu_id; /* This is our list of devices. */ struct device_list { - /* Summary information about the devices in our list: ready to pass to - * select() to ask which need servicing.*/ - fd_set infds; - int max_infd; - /* Counter to assign interrupt numbers. */ unsigned int next_irq; @@ -126,22 +114,21 @@ struct device /* The linked-list pointer. */ struct device *next; - /* The this device's descriptor, as mapped into the Guest. */ + /* The device's descriptor, as mapped into the Guest. */ struct lguest_device_desc *desc; + /* We can't trust desc values once Guest has booted: we use these. */ + unsigned int feature_len; + unsigned int num_vq; + /* The name of this device, for --verbose. */ const char *name; - /* If handle_input is set, it wants to be called when this file - * descriptor is ready. */ - int fd; - bool (*handle_input)(int fd, struct device *me); - /* Any queues attached to this device */ struct virtqueue *vq; - /* Handle status being finalized (ie. feature bits stable). */ - void (*ready)(struct device *me); + /* Is it operational */ + bool running; /* Device-specific data. */ void *priv; @@ -164,22 +151,28 @@ struct virtqueue /* Last available index we saw. */ u16 last_avail_idx; - /* The routine to call when the Guest pings us, or timeout. */ - void (*handle_output)(int fd, struct virtqueue *me, bool timeout); + /* How many are used since we sent last irq?
