SystemTap for Android - patchset

SystemTap for Android - patchset

[Alexander Lochmann]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1522 bytes --]


Hi folks!

Finally, I decided to submit my patch, which makes SystemTap work for
Android. Moreover, it adds two new features:
- Support for ignoring all available tapset directories, except the one
that is provided by -K
- Support for a pid file in staprun, parameter is -U
I had to modify several source files of staprun. Those changes are
mostly copied from the corresponding files contained in commit
2c10863bfe41b51272eff714a837f4977bdc257a. For some reasons, those ifdef
parts have been removed. I readded them, and changed the macro, which
activates them.

The patch contains two bugfixes for the SystemTap as well.
Unfortunately, I failed to extract those fixes properly. :(
The first fix starts at line 510, and goes until line 555.
Since an older kernel like 3.0 does not support uprobes, systemtap
includes 'runtime/linux/task_finder_stubs.c'. That file itself does
*not* include 'syscall.h', which declares several syscall-related functions.
The second fix starts at line 1106. For some reasons in the Linux kernel
3.0 the macro cputime_to_usecs() has a semicolon at the end of its
definition. Therefore, the defition of cputime_to_msecs() in '
tapset/linux/task_time.stp' must be modified to deal with that fact.

Cheers,
Alex

Alex,

Thanks for working on this and sending us the patch. Is there any way to
separate out the changes into one logical change per patch? Combining
all the changes into one patch makes things quite hard to review.

Can you explain why you need this?

One can already override the primary tapset directory with the
environment SYSTEMTAP_TAPSET.  Ignoring -I options also seems
questionable, especially since this depends on the order -- it looks
like -I specified after -K will still be used, while those before will
be ignored.

> - Support for a pid file in staprun, parameter is -U

And you added -M on stap itself.  I don't understand either of those
letter choices.

The functionality itself is not too controversial, but I'd still like to
see your justification in the commit log, and some examples how this is
used in Android.

That commit is "man stap: fixed typos".  Did you mean something else?

As David said, it would help us a lot if you separated each of these
changes into distinct commits.  If you have the changes in a working git
directory, "git add -p" can help you mark specific changes to be
committed.  "git-gui" is also pretty good for selecting hunks.  Feel
free to ask for help on #systemtap if you still have trouble.

So. Let me start.
First of all, I extracted the patches properly, and attached the files.
(Btw, I found a third bug. :) )
FYI, I just fixed the bugs for the kernel versions I'm dealing with,
because I don't know which other versions are affected as well.

Honestly? I don't know. :D I had some trouble with SystemTap looking for
tapsets systemwide, which made me write that patch/fix. It's been a long
time since I wrote it. Anyway, I tried your proposed solution, and it
works. I'll adapt my build script to use the enviroment variable.
You can skip that part of the patch if you want.

Did I? It might be possible that I want be able to pass the argument to
staprun.

I chose the letters randomly. For me, it doesn't matter. I just need an
argument to tell staprun to create a pid file. :)

Yeah, sure. Since I run stap on Android, I have a background service,
which periodically checks if every single stap instance is still
running. Yes, it might be possible having more than one stap script
running. :)
Moreover, if I start it more than once, I want to be able to kill
specific instance. For that I need its process id.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] The syscall defines were not compatible with older
 kernels, namely 3.0.x

Older kernels, at least the 3.0.x, define their syscalls in different files.
The stap runtime has to include those file properly. Moreover, for pre-uprobe kernels
no syscall file has been included at all. This job is normally done by task_finder.c.
The task_finder_stubs.c has been extended by the needed include directive.

Would it be enough for staprun to have that pid option?
That would mean the stap script would have to be compiled
through to -p4 only, then staprun invoked manually.

Since your background service is already custom, maybe a custom shell
script wrapper like this could serve your purposes without having to
change staprun/stap at all:

% cat pidwrapper
#! /bin/sh
pidfile="$1"; shift
program="$1"; shift
echo $$ > $pidfile
exec $program ${1+$@}  # exec to preserve $$ pid

and then you invoke staprun via:

% sh pidwrapper /path/to/this.pid staprun foo bar baz

That would be a nice workaround. I went through the source code. The
commandline option is used by stapio. Stapio creates the pidfile. If I
send a SIGKILL (or was it a SIGTERM? what so ever) to staprun, stap and
the module won't be shutdown properly. Hence, I have to send the signal
to stapio.

Since staprun exec's stapio, the latter will also share the same pid.
So this wrapper would work, whichever process happens to be running at
the moment.  (Send SIGTERM or SIGINT for a clean shutdown.)

Indeed... strange. If I remember it correctly, I would say that wasn't
the case in that past. But git blame says something different.
Thus, I suppose it was my "fault". I thing I simply misinterpreted my
observations with "ps aux" back in that days. Anyway, I'll try your bash
wrapper. :-)

Do you have any concerns about the rest of my Android patch?
Namely the build script and those ifdefs in staprun.c.

I checked in a tweaked version of your "[PATCH 3/3] Linux kernel 3.4
does not define PR_SET_MM_ARG_START" patch as commit 0920f8c. Instead of
checking for kernel version, I checked to see if those defines were
actually defined.

Looking at your 2nd patch, '[PATCH 2/3] The syscall defines were not
compatible with older kernels, namely 3.0.x', this bit doesn't seem
correct at all:

Including <asm-generic/syscall.h> is highly suspicious. Did you try to

errors. Not including your arch's real syscall.h file will cause errors
down the road.

An arch-specific syscall.h does not exist for arm. :(
The kernel tree for both the Galaxy Nexus (maguro) and the Nexus 4 do
not have a syscall.h (path: arch/arm/include/asm/syscall.h does not exist).

OK, I'll believe you. However, your fix above still isn't correct. The
whole point of autoconf-asm-syscall.c is to test if asm/syscall.h exists
and is usable. If so, STAPCONF_ASM_SYSCALL_H will get defined. If
autoconf-asm-syscall.c doesn't compile correctly, then
STAPCONF_ASM_SYSCALL_H won't be defined.

What needs to happen next here is for you to back out this change,
recompile systemtap, then try to compile a few systemtap scripts. We'll
need to see the errors to know what to fix. I'd guess we'll need to test
STAPCONF_ASM_SYSCALL_H in some more places.

The problem you are trying to fix in your patch "[PATCH 1/3] Definition
of cputime_to_usecs in Linux kernel 3.0 is broken" is interesting. I
don't think you've got quite the right solution. Testing for a kernel
version here works for you, but really isn't a general solution -
depending on arch there could be a kernel in that range with a
reasonable cputime_to_usecs().

I've got a couple of thoughts here:

comment about why we're doing that).

- Here's an untested workaround idea that might work for all kernels:

Why not? :) Since the kernel and every module of course is compiled with
-O3 (or -O2?),  it shouldn't make any difference in the resulting
assembler code.

And so does this version. The compiler should be smart enough to
recognize __usecs is a local variable, and thus could be stored in a
register.

Ok. Here is the error message I get:
/tmp/stapE7HrAi/alexv9_src.c: In function 
'function___global__stp_syscall_nr__overload_0':
/tmp/stapE7HrAi/alexv9_src.c:7975:2: error: implicit declaration of 
function '_stp_syscall_get_nr'

I tested three scripts so far. All of them do not compile due to the 
above error.
Do you need one of the scripts?

Nope.

One of the reasons we include <asm/syscall.h> is to get the kernel's
syscall_get_nr() macros. If the kernel doesn't have a <asm/syscall.h>,
we define our own versions of syscall_get_nr() in runtime/syscall.h. The
arm platform already has our custom version of that macro in
runtime/syscall.h.

I'd guess we aren't including systemtap's runtime/syscall.h in the
proper place.  Here's a patch that might work:

Yes. Works. :) At least for the four scripts I tested.
