tracing/kprobes: Fix kprobe-tracer to support stack trace
Fix to support kernel stack trace correctly on kprobe-tracer. Since the execution path of kprobe-based dynamic events is different from other tracepoint-based events, normal ftrace_trace_stack() doesn't work correctly. To fix that, this introduces ftrace_trace_stack_regs() which traces stack via pt_regs instead of current stack register. e.g. # echo p schedule+4 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable # head -n 20 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace bash-2968 [000] 10297.050245: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) bash-2968 [000] 10297.050247: <stack trace> => schedule_timeout => n_tty_read => tty_read => vfs_read => sys_read => system_call_fastpath kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050265: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050266: <stack trace> => worker_thread => kthread => kernel_thread_helper sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: <stack trace> => sysret_careful Note: Even with this fix, the first entry will be skipped if the probe is put on the function entry area before the frame pointer is set up (usually, that is 4 bytes (push %bp; mov %sp %bp) on x86), because stack unwinder depends on the frame pointer.
