Thu, 02 Jul 2026 14:12:40 +0200

tracing/probes: Support dumping fetcharg program for debugging dynamic eventsFor debugging probe events, it is helpful to verify the compiledfetch instructions for each probe argument. This introduces a newkernel config CONFIG_PROBE_EVENTS_DUMP_FETCHARG to decode theinstruction sequence of each argument and display it under acommented line starting with '#' immediately following the dynamicevent definition (such as in dynamic_events, kprobe_events,uprobe_events, etc.).For example: /sys/kernel/tracing # cat dynamic_events p:kprobes/p_vfs_read_0 vfs_read arg1=+0(file):ustring arg2=%ax:x16 # arg1: ARG(0) -> ST_USTRING(offset=0,size=4) -> END # arg2: REG(80) -> ST_RAW(size=2) -> ENDLink: https://lore.kernel.org/all/178271359508.1176915.11895926894608440183.stgit@devnote2/Assisted-by: Antigravity:gemini-3.5-flashSigned-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) List of files: /linux/kernel/trace/Kconfig

Merge tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-tracePull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt - Do not invalidate entire buffer for invalid sub-buffers For the persistent ring buffer, if one sub-buffer is found to be invalid, it invalidates the entire per CPU ring buffer. This can lose a lot of valuable data if there's some corruption with the writes to the buffer not syncing properly on a hard crash. Instead, if a sub-buffer is found to be invalid, simply zero it out and mark it for "missed events". When the persistent ring buffer is read and a sub-buffer that was cleared due to being invalid on boot up is discovered, the output will show "[LOST EVENTS]" to let the user know that events were missing at that location. Displaying the events from valid buffers can still be useful. - Add a test to be able to test corrupted sub-buffers If a persistent ring buffer is created as "ptraingtest" and the new config that adds the test is enabled, when a panic happens, the kernel will randomly corrupt one of the per CPU ring buffers. On boot up, the sub-buffers with the corruption should be cleared and flagged. When reading this buffer, the missed events should should [LOST EVENTS]. - Add commit number in the sub-buffer meta debug info The commit is used to know the content of a meta page. Add it to the buffer_meta file that is shown for each per CPU buffer. - Clean up the persistent ring buffer validation code Add some helper functions and make variable names more consistent.* tag 'trace-ring-buffer-v7.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Better comment the use of RB_MISSED_EVENTS ring-buffer: Show persistent buffer dropped events in trace_pipe file ring-buffer: Show persistent buffer dropped events in trace file ring-buffer: Have dropped subbuffers be persistent across reboots ring-buffer: Cleanup buffer_data_page related code ring-buffer: Cleanup persistent ring buffer validation ring-buffer: Show commit numbers in buffer_meta file ring-buffer: Add persistent ring buffer invalid-page inject test ring-buffer: Skip invalid sub-buffers when rewinding persistent ring buffer ring-buffer: Skip invalid sub-buffers when validating persistent ring buffer List of files: /linux/kernel/trace/Kconfig

68413a36f0051bd7ba7ea37ae2167951aeae5bd2 - ring-buffer: Add persistent ring buffer invalid-page inject test

Fri, 22 May 2026 19:09:00 +0200

ring-buffer: Add persistent ring buffer invalid-page inject testAdd a self-corrupting test for the persistent ring buffer.This will inject an erroneous value to some sub-buffer pages (wherethe index is even or multiples of 5) in the persistent ring bufferwhen the kernel panics, and checks whether the number of detectedinvalid pages and the total entry_bytes are the same as the recordedvalues after reboot.This ensures that the kernel can correctly recover a partiallycorrupted persistent ring buffer after a reboot or panic.The test only runs on the persistent ring buffer whose name is"ptracingtest". The user has to fill it with events before akernel panic.To run the test, enable CONFIG_RING_BUFFER_PERSISTENT_INJECTand add the following kernel cmdline: reserve_mem=20M:2M:trace trace_instance=ptracingtest^traceoff@trace panic=1Run the following commands after the 1st boot: cd /sys/kernel/tracing/instances/ptracingtest echo 1 > tracing_on echo 1 > events/enable sleep 3 echo c > /proc/sysrq-triggerAfter panic message, the kernel will reboot and run the verificationon the persistent ring buffer, e.g. Ring buffer meta [2] invalid buffer page detected Ring buffer meta [2] is from previous boot!
