Currently backtrace from ftraced function does not contain ftraced function itself. e.g. for "path_openat": arch_stack_walk+0x15c/0x2d8 stack_trace_save+0x50/0x68 stack_trace_call+0x15e/0x3d8 ftrace_graph_caller+0x0/0x1c <-- ftrace code do_filp_open+0x7c/0xe8 <-- ftraced function caller do_open_execat+0x76/0x1b8 open_exec+0x52/0x78 load_elf_binary+0x180/0x1160 search_binary_handler+0x8e/0x288 load_script+0x2a8/0x2b8 search_binary_handler+0x8e/0x288 __do_execve_file.isra.39+0x6fa/0xb40 __s390x_sys_execve+0x56/0x68 system_call+0xdc/0x2d8 Ftraced function is expected in the backtrace by ftrace kselftests, which are now failing. It would also be nice to have it for clarity reasons. "ftrace_caller" itself is called without stack frame allocated for it and does not store its caller (ftraced function). Instead it simply allocates a stack frame for "ftrace_trace_function" and sets backchain to point to ftraced function stack frame (which contains ftraced function caller in saved r14). To fix this issue make "ftrace_caller" allocate a stack frame for itself just to store ftraced function for the stack unwinder. As a result backtrace looks like the following: arch_stack_walk+0x15c/0x2d8 stack_trace_save+0x50/0x68 stack_trace_call+0x15e/0x3d8 ftrace_graph_caller+0x0/0x1c <-- ftrace code path_openat+0x6/0xd60 <-- ftraced function do_filp_open+0x7c/0xe8 <-- ftraced function caller do_open_execat+0x76/0x1b8 open_exec+0x52/0x78 load_elf_binary+0x180/0x1160 search_binary_handler+0x8e/0x288 load_script+0x2a8/0x2b8 search_binary_handler+0x8e/0x288 __do_execve_file.isra.39+0x6fa/0xb40 __s390x_sys_execve+0x56/0x68 system_call+0xdc/0x2d8 Reported-by: Sven Schnelle <sven.schnelle@ibm.com> Tested-by: Sven Schnelle <sven.schnelle@ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
