SubjectRe: [PATCH 2/2] tracing/events/lockdep: move tracepoints within recursive protection

Here's the dump that I get that triggers the lockdep warning:

WARNING: at kernel/lockdep.c:2893 check_flags+0x1a7/0x1d0()

Note, for some reason we hit int3 ??

Tracepoints do not use int3 does it?

I have kprobes defined but not any kprobe self tests on.

Anyway, let me describe what the above is and what I found in my
investigation.

The lockdep took a check_flags error when it noticed that interrupts were
enabled, but the current->hardirqs_enabled was 0. Lockdep thought
interrupts were disabled but they were in fact enabled.


The last 4 lines of the warning have the numbers in the parenthesis
annotate the order of events: (Here they are in order)

softirqs last enabled at (12566): [<ffffffff80514d2b>] lock_sock_nested+0xfb/0x110
hardirqs last enabled at (12567): [<ffffffff8026206a>] local_bh_enable+0xaa/0x110
softirqs last disabled at (12568): [<ffffffff8058454e>] tcp_prequeue_process+0x2e/0xa0
hardirqs last disabled at (12569): [<ffffffff80610c76>] int3+0x16/0x40

The last change that lockdep saw was interrupts being disabled by int3. I
still don't understand why int3 was enabled. I have startup tests for
ftrace and the event tracer, but this blob happened when I first ssh'd
into the box.

In arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S we have:

paranoidzeroentry_ist int3 do_int3 DEBUG_STACK

.macro paranoidzeroentry sym do_sym
ENTRY(\sym)
INTR_FRAME
PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME
pushq $-1 /* ORIG_RAX: no syscall to restart */
CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET 8
subq $15*8, %rsp
call save_paranoid
TRACE_IRQS_OFF
movq %rsp,%rdi /* pt_regs pointer */
xorl %esi,%esi /* no error code */
call \do_sym
jmp paranoid_exit /* %ebx: no swapgs flag */
CFI_ENDPROC
END(\sym)
.endm


ENTRY(paranoid_exit)
INTR_FRAME
DISABLE_INTERRUPTS(CLBR_NONE)
TRACE_IRQS_OFF
testl %ebx,%ebx /* swapgs needed? */
jnz paranoid_restore
testl $3,CS(%rsp)
jnz paranoid_userspace
paranoid_swapgs:
TRACE_IRQS_IRETQ 0
SWAPGS_UNSAFE_STACK
paranoid_restore:
RESTORE_ALL 8
jmp irq_return


irq_return:
INTERRUPT_RETURN


INTERRUPT_RETURN is simply defined as iretq


I see that we call TRACE_IRQS_OFF when entering paranoid_exit, but if we
do not need to swapgs (we don't because int3 looks like it happened in
kernel space) we just call irq_return and jump back. We miss the fact that
the irq_return enables interrupts for us.

I'd try to come up with a fix, but this gets a bit complex, and I figured
I let the lockdep irq-tracing guru's play with this magic. I'm just
reporting the problem ;-)
