Fix: lttng-modules teardown NULL pointer OOPS

Accessing the lttng channel and lttng session from the metadata ring
buffer client is a bad idea, because we don't have any reference
ensuring those are valid for the lifetime of the metadata cache.
Therefore, rather than keeping a lttng channel as private data pointer
for the metadata ring buffer channel, keep a pointer to the metadata
cache instead: this will ensure we don't shoot ourself in the foot and
access data we for which coherency is not guaranteed (we don't hold any
reference to it).

Anyway, the only reason why we needed to access the lttng session from
the metadata client in the first place was the UUID of the session. Copy
it into the metadata cache instead.

Fix: handle concurrent flush vs get_next_subbuf on metadata cache

The "flush" operation can be performed on the metadata file descriptor
concurrently with get_next_subbuffer operations by different processes
(e.g. lttng session daemon issuing flush at "stop" concurrently with
consumer daemon issuing get_next_subbuf for metadata I/O). We need
to protect the metadata cache from those concurrent use by introducing a
mutex.

This fixes a race where metadata from a kernel trace is corrupted due to
this scenario. The corruption shows up like the same metadata content (a
metadata packet) being written twice consecutively in the metadata

Fix: pass proper args when writing commit counter

lib_ring_buffer_write_commit_counter()'s 'buf_offset' argument should
contain offset of beginning of area used by the record being comitted.

However, lib_ring_buffer_commit() passes ctx->buf_offset, that gets
advanced by lib_ring_buffer_write() and thus points to just-after-
end-of-record at lib_ring_buffer_commit() time. This causes
lib_ring_buffer_write_commit_counter() to return without changing
commit_hot[idx].seq, due to

if (unlikely(subbuf_offset(offset - commit_count, chan)))
return;

Since after-crash data extraction tool checks 'seq' field to find out
how much data is in buffer, this results into inavailability of
data from partially-filled subbuffer for after-crash analysis.

This patch modifies lib_ring_buffer_write_commit_counter() and all its
callers to pass and expect the end of the area. So code works as it
should, and complete information becomes visible in crash dump.

Mathieu Desnoyers [Sun, 24 Nov 2013 09:09:04 +0000 (04:09 -0500)] 
Fix: eliminate timestamp overlap between packets

By using the timestamp sampled at space reservation when the packet is
being filled as "end timestamp" for a packet, we can ensure there is no
overlap between packet timestamp ranges, so that packet timestamp end <=
following packets timestamp begin.

Overlap between consecutive packets becomes an issue when the end
timestamp of a packet is greater than the end timestamp of a following
packet, IOW a packet completely contains the timestamp range of a
following packet.  This kind of situation does not allow trace viewers
to do binary search within the packet timestamps. This kind of situation
will typically never occur if packets are significantly larger than
event size, but this fix ensures it can never even theoretically happen.

The only case where packets can still theoretically overlap is if they
have equal begin and end timestamps, which is valid.

Fix: ring buffer: handle concurrent update in nested buffer wrap around check

With stress-test loads that trigger sub-buffer switch very frequently
(small 4kB sub-buffers, frequent flush), we currently observe this kind
of warnings once every few minutes:

[65335.896208] ring buffer relay-overwrite-mmap, cpu 5: records were lost. Caused by:
[65335.896208]   [ 0 buffer full, 1 nest buffer wrap-around, 0 event too big ]

It appears that the check for nested buffer wrap-around does not take
into account that a concurrent execution contexts (either nested for
per-cpu buffers, or from another CPU or nested for global buffers) can
update the commit_count value concurrently.

What we really want to do with this check is to ensure that if we enter
a sub-buffer that had an unbalanced reserve/commit count, assuming there
is no hope that this gets rebalanced promptly, we detect this and drop
the current event. However, in the case where the commit counter has
been concurrently updated by another reserve or a switch, we want to
retry the entire reserve operation.

One way to detect this is to sample the reserve offset twice, around the
commit counter read, along with the appropriate memory barriers.
Therefore, we can detect if the mismatch between reserve and commit
counter is actually caused by a concurrent update, which necessarily has
updated the reserve counter.

lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() is always called when an event exactly
fills a sub-buffer, which makes padding_size always 0. However, there is
one side-effect that lib_ring_buffer_switch_new_end() needs to have: it
calls subbuffer_set_data_size() to update the size of the data to be
read from the sub-buffer.

10 years agoFix: handle writes of length 0
Mathieu Desnoyers [Sun, 30 Jun 2013 21:38:50 +0000 (17:38 -0400)] 
Fix: handle writes of length 0

lib_ring_buffer_write(), lib_ring_buffer_memset() and
lib_ring_buffer_copy_from_user_inatomic() could be passed a length of 0.
This typically has no side-effect as far as writing into the buffers is
concerned, except for one detail: in overwrite mode, there is a check to
make sure the sub-buffer can be written into. This check is performed
even if length is 0. In the case where this would fall exactly at the
end of a sub-buffer, the check would fail, because the offset would fall
exactly at the beginning of the next sub-buffer.

It triggers this warning:
