Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on. I.e., performing a drain every (n) records. MFC after: 1 month Discussed with: jhb Requested by: Marc Olzheim <marcolz at stack dot nl>

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

/*
* The ktrace facility allows the tracing of certain key events in user space
* processes, such as system calls, signal delivery, context switches, and
* user generated events using utrace(2). It works by streaming event
* records and data to a vnode associated with the process using the
* ktrace(2) system call. In general, records can be written directly from
* the context that generates the event. One important exception to this is
* during a context switch, where sleeping is not permitted. To handle this
* case, trace events are generated using in-kernel ktr_request records, and
* then delivered to disk at a convenient moment -- either immediately, the
* next traceable event, at system call return, or at process exit.
*
* When dealing with multiple threads or processes writing to the same event
* log, ordering guarantees are weak: specifically, if an event has multiple
* records (i.e., system call enter and return), they may be interlaced with
* records from another event. Process and thread ID information is provided
* in the record, and user applications can de-interlace events if required.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on.

Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches.

Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue.

The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode).

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread.

The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on. I.e., performing a drain every (n) records. MFC after: 1 month Discussed with: jhb Requested by: Marc Olzheim <marcolz at stack dot nl>

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode).

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on. I.e., performing a drain every (n) records. MFC after: 1 month Discussed with: jhb Requested by: Marc Olzheim <marcolz at stack dot nl>

The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on. I.e., performing a drain every (n) records. MFC after: 1 month Discussed with: jhb Requested by: Marc Olzheim <marcolz at stack dot nl>

Change the cap_rights_t type from uint64_t to a structure that we can extend in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way. The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285 rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough. The structure definition looks like this: struct cap_rights { uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2]; }; The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0. The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to 0, we have 2 array elements. The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0. The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means there can be at most five array elements in the future. To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg. #define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL) We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong to the same array element, eg: #define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL) #define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL) #define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP) There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure: cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...); void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...); void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...); bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...); bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights); void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src); void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src); bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little); Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(), cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by separating them with commas, eg: cap_rights_t rights; cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT); There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are actually macros that take care of the termination, eg: #define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \ __cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL) void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...); Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1: cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL); Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition. This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls, but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still experimental and this change is not going to 9.x. Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on.

I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory.

If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue. The ktrace kernel thread grabs requests off the head of the queue and processes them using the trace vnode and credentials of the thread triggering the event. Since we cannot assume that the user memory referenced when doing a ktrgenio() will be valid and since we can't access it from the ktrace worker thread without a bit of hassle anyways, ktrgenio() requests are still handled synchronously. However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on.

The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on. I.e., performing a drain every (n) records. MFC after: 1 month Discussed with: jhb Requested by: Marc Olzheim <marcolz at stack dot nl>

However, in order to ensure that the requests from a given thread still maintain relative order to one another, when a synchronous ktrace event (such as a genio event) is triggered, we still put the request object on the todo list to synchronize with the worker thread. The original thread blocks atomically with putting the item on the queue. When the worker thread comes across an asynchronous request, it wakes up the original thread and then blocks to ensure it doesn't manage to write a later event before the original thread has a chance to write out the synchronous event. When the original thread wakes up, it writes out the synchronous using its own context and then finally wakes the worker thread back up. Yuck. The sychronous events aren't pretty but they do work. Since ktrace events can be triggered in fairly low-level areas (msleep() and cv_wait() for example) the ktrace code is designed to use very few locks when posting an event (currently just the ktrace_mtx lock and the vnode interlock to bump the refcoun on the trace vnode). This also means that we can't allocate a ktrace request object when an event is triggered. Instead, ktrace request objects are allocated from a pre-allocated pool and returned to the pool after a request is serviced. The size of this pool defaults to 100 objects, which is about 13k on an i386 kernel. The size of the pool can be adjusted at compile time via the KTRACE_REQUEST_POOL kernel option, at boot time via the kern.ktrace_request_pool loader tunable, or at runtime via the kern.ktrace_request_pool sysctl. If the pool of request objects is exhausted, then a warning message is printed to the console. The message is rate-limited in that it is only printed once until the size of the pool is adjusted via the sysctl. I have tested all kernel traces but have not tested user traces submitted by utrace(2), though they should work fine in theory. Since a ktrace request has several properties (content of event, trace vnode, details of originating process, credentials for I/O, etc.), I chose to drop the first argument to the various ktrfoo() functions. Currently the functions just assume the event is posted from curthread. If there is a great desire to do so, I suppose I could instead put back the first argument but this time make it a thread pointer instead of a vnode pointer. Also, KTRPOINT() now takes a thread as its first argument instead of a process. This is because the check for a recursive ktrace event is now per-thread instead of process-wide.

Overhaul the ktrace subsystem a bit. For the most part, the actual vnode operations to dump a ktrace event out to an output file are now handled asychronously by a ktrace worker thread. This enables most ktrace events to not need Giant once p_tracep and p_traceflag are suitably protected by the new ktrace_lock. There is a single todo list of pending ktrace requests. The various ktrace tracepoints allocate a ktrace request object and tack it onto the end of the queue.

Moderate rewrite of kernel ktrace code to attempt to generally improve reliability when tracing fast-moving processes or writing traces to slow file systems by avoiding unbounded queueuing and dropped records. Record loss was previously possible when the global pool of records become depleted as a result of record generation outstripping record commit, which occurred quickly in many common situations. These changes partially restore the 4.x model of committing ktrace records at the point of trace generation (synchronous), but maintain the 5.x deferred record commit behavior (asynchronous) for situations where entering VFS and sleeping is not possible (i.e., in the scheduler). Records are now queued per-process as opposed to globally, with processes responsible for committing records from their own context as required. - Eliminate the ktrace worker thread and global record queue, as they are no longer used. Keep the global free record list, as records are still used. - Add a per-process record queue, which will hold any asynchronously generated records, such as from context switches. This replaces the global queue as the place to submit asynchronous records to. - When a record is committed asynchronously, simply queue it to the process. - When a record is committed synchronously, first drain any pending per-process records in order to maintain ordering as best we can. Currently ordering between competing threads is provided via a global ktrace_sx, but a per-process flag or lock may be desirable in the future. - When a process returns to user space following a system call, trap, signal delivery, etc, flush any pending records. - When a process exits, flush any pending records. - Assert on process tear-down that there are no pending records. - Slightly abstract the notion of being "in ktrace", which is used to prevent the recursive generation of records, as well as generating traces for ktrace events. Future work here might look at changing the set of events marked for synchronous and asynchronous record generation, re-balancing queue depth, timeliness of commit to disk, and so on. I.e., performing a drain every (n) records. MFC after: 1 month Discussed with: jhb Requested by: Marc Olzheim <marcolz at stack dot nl>

This Implements the mumbled about "Jail" feature. This is a seriously beefed up chroot kind of thing. The process is jailed along the same lines as a chroot does it, but with additional tough restrictions imposed on what the superuser can do. For all I know, it is safe to hand over the root bit inside a prison to the customer living in that prison, this is what it was developed for in fact: "real virtual servers". Each prison has an ip number associated with it, which all IP communications will be coerced to use and each prison has its own hostname. Needless to say, you need more RAM this way, but the advantage is that each customer can run their own particular version of apache and not stomp on the toes of their neighbors. It generally does what one would expect, but setting up a jail still takes a little knowledge. A few notes: I have no scripts for setting up a jail, don't ask me for them. The IP number should be an alias on one of the interfaces. mount a /proc in each jail, it will make ps more useable. /proc/<pid>/status tells the hostname of the prison for jailed processes. Quotas are only sensible if you have a mountpoint per prison. There are no privisions for stopping resource-hogging. Some "#ifdef INET" and similar may be missing (send patches!) If somebody wants to take it from here and develop it into more of a "virtual machine" they should be most welcome! Tools, comments, patches & documentation most welcome. Have fun...
