From 11aff32439df6ca5b3b891b43032faf88f4a6a29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: pengdonglin pengdonglin@xiaomi.com Date: Mon, 12 May 2025 17:42:46 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: Fix preemption accounting for stacktrace filter command
The preemption count of the stacktrace filter command to trace ksys_read is consistently incorrect:
$ echo ksys_read:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
<...>-453 [004] ...1. 38.308956: <stack trace> => ksys_read => do_syscall_64 => entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
The root cause is that the trace framework disables preemption when invoking the filter command callback in function_trace_probe_call:
preempt_disable_notrace(); probe_ops->func(ip, parent_ip, probe_opsbe->tr, probe_ops, probe->data); preempt_enable_notrace();
Use tracing_gen_ctx_dec() to account for the preempt_disable_notrace(), which will output the correct preemption count:
$ echo ksys_read:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
<...>-410 [006] ..... 31.420396: <stack trace> => ksys_read => do_syscall_64 => entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe
