- # Here's how to use this:
- #
- # This script is used to help find functions that are being traced by function
- # tracer or function graph tracing that causes the machine to reboot, hang, or
- # crash. Here's the steps to take.
- #
- # First, determine if function tracing is working with a single function:
- #
- # (note, if this is a problem with function_graph tracing, then simply
- # replace "function" with "function_graph" in the following steps).
- #
- # # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
- # # echo schedule > set_ftrace_filter
- # # echo function > current_tracer
- #
- # If this works, then we know that something is being traced that shouldn't be.
- #
- # # echo nop > current_tracer
- #
- # Starting with v5.1 this can be done with numbers, making it much faster:
- #
- # The old (slow) way, for kernels before v5.1.
- #
- # [old-way] # cat available_filter_functions > ~/full-file
- #
- # [old-way] *** Note *** this process will take several minutes to update the
- # [old-way] filters. Setting multiple functions is an O(n^2) operation, and we
- # [old-way] are dealing with thousands of functions. So go have coffee, talk
- # [old-way] with your coworkers, read facebook. And eventually, this operation
- # [old-way] will end.
- #
- # The new way (using numbers) is an O(n) operation, and usually takes less than a second.
- #
- # seq `wc -l available_filter_functions | cut -d' ' -f1` > ~/full-file
- #
- # This will create a sequence of numbers that match the functions in
- # available_filter_functions, and when echoing in a number into the
- # set_ftrace_filter file, it will enable the corresponding function in
- # O(1) time. Making enabling all functions O(n) where n is the number of
- # functions to enable.
- #
- # For either the new or old way, the rest of the operations remain the same.
- #
- # # ftrace-bisect ~/full-file ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
- # # cat ~/test-file > set_ftrace_filter
- #
- # # echo function > current_tracer
- #
- # If it crashes, we know that ~/test-file has a bad function.
- #
- # Reboot back to test kernel.
- #
- # # cd /sys/kernel/tracing
- # # mv ~/test-file ~/full-file
- #
- # If it didn't crash.
- #
- # # echo nop > current_tracer
- # # mv ~/non-test-file ~/full-file
- #
- # Get rid of the other test file from previous run (or save them off somewhere).
- # # rm -f ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
- #
- # And start again:
- #
- # # ftrace-bisect ~/full-file ~/test-file ~/non-test-file
- #
- # The good thing is, because this cuts the number of functions in ~/test-file
- # by half, the cat of it into set_ftrace_filter takes half as long each
- # iteration, so don't talk so much at the water cooler the second time.
- #
- # Eventually, if you did this correctly, you will get down to the problem
- # function, and all we need to do is to notrace it.
- #
- # The way to figure out if the problem function is bad, just do:
- #
- # # echo <problem-function> > set_ftrace_notrace
- # # echo > set_ftrace_filter
- # # echo function > current_tracer
- #
- # And if it doesn't crash, we are done.
- #
- # If it does crash, do this again (there's more than one problem function)
- # but you need to echo the problem function(s) into set_ftrace_notrace before
- # enabling function tracing in the above steps. Or if you can compile the
- # kernel, annotate the problem functions with "notrace" and start again.
