Mahe reported missing function from stack trace on top of kprobe
multi program. The missing function is the very first one in the
stacktrace, the one that the bpf program is attached to.
# bpftrace -e 'kprobe:__x64_sys_newuname* { print(kstack)}'
Attaching 1 probe...
do_syscall_64+134
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+118
('*' is used for kprobe_multi attachment)
The reason is that the previous change (the Fixes commit) fixed
stack unwind for tracepoint, but removed attached function address
from the stack trace on top of kprobe multi programs, which I also
overlooked in the related test (check following patch).
The tracepoint and kprobe_multi have different stack setup, but use
same unwind path. I think it's better to keep the previous change,
which fixed tracepoint unwind and instead change the kprobe multi
unwind as explained below.
The bpf program stack unwind calls perf_callchain_kernel for kernel
portion and it follows two unwind paths based on X86_EFLAGS_FIXED
bit in pt_regs.flags.
When the bit set we unwind from stack represented by pt_regs argument,
otherwise we unwind currently executed stack up to 'first_frame'
boundary.
The 'first_frame' value is taken from regs.rsp value, but ftrace_caller
and ftrace_regs_caller (ftrace trampoline) functions set the regs.rsp
to the previous stack frame, so we skip the attached function entry.
If we switch kprobe_multi unwind to use the X86_EFLAGS_FIXED bit,
we set the start of the unwind to the attached function address.
As another benefit we also cut extra unwind cycles needed to reach
the 'first_frame' boundary.
The speedup can be measured with trigger bench for kprobe_multi
program and stacktrace support.
- trigger bench with stacktrace on current code:
kprobe-multi : 0.810 ± 0.001M/s
kretprobe-multi: 0.808 ± 0.001M/s
- and with the fix:
kprobe-multi : 1.264 ± 0.001M/s
kretprobe-multi: 1.401 ± 0.002M/s
With the fix, the entry probe stacktrace:
# bpftrace -e 'kprobe:__x64_sys_newuname* { print(kstack)}'
Attaching 1 probe...
__x64_sys_newuname+9
do_syscall_64+134
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+118
The return probe skips the attached function, because it's no longer
on the stack at the point of the unwind and this way is the same how
standard kretprobe works.
# bpftrace -e 'kretprobe:__x64_sys_newuname* { print(kstack)}'
Attaching 1 probe...
do_syscall_64+134
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+118
