Fix: stream intersection fails on snapshot of cleared session
Observed issue
==============
In the following scenario:
lttng create --snapshot
lttng enable-event -u -a
lttng start
taskset -c 0 <tracepoint producing app>
lttng clear
taskset -c 0 <tracepoint producing app>
lttng snapshot record
lttng destroy
When using the stream-intersection mode, babetrace complains that the
time range for the intersection is invalid since the begin timestamp is
after the end timestamp.
This is caused by the presence of "inactive" streams for which no events
are recorded between the clear action and the recording of the snapshot.
These streams have a begin timestamp roughly equal to the moment when
the snapshot was taken (i.e. the end timestamp). Babeltrace, in
stream-intersection mode, attempts to use the latest beginning timestamp
of all streams as the start of the intersection and the earliest end
timestamp as the end boundary.

Cause
=====
The packet beginning timestamps of the buffers are initialized on
creation (on the first "start" of a tracing session). When a "clear" is
performed on a session, all open packets are closed and the existing
contents are purged.
If a stream is inactive, it is possible for no packet to be "opened"
until a snapshot of the tracing session is recorded.
Solution
========
A new consumer command, "open channel packets" is added. This command
performs a "flush empty" operation on all streams of a channel.
This command is invoked after a clear (after the tracing is re-started)
and on start. This ensures that streams are opened as soon as possible
after a clear, a rotation, or a session start.
Known drawbacks
===============
In the case of an inactive stream, this results an extra empty packet at
the beginning of the inactive streams (typically 4kB) in the snapshots.
In the case of an active stream, this change will cause the first packet
to be empty or contain few events. If the stream is active enough to
wrap-around, that empty packet will simply be overwritten.

Fix: relayd: viewer metadata is not rotated after a session clear
Issue observed
==============
Following a session clear, babeltrace sometimes doesn't receive
the content of the metadata that is announced in the get_metadata
reply header.
This causes babeltrace2 to assert (a fix has been submitted) since
the protocol state becomes de-synchronized, causing babeltrace to
interpret follow-up replies as garbage.
This was occasionally observed on the CI when running the "clear" tests.
Cause
=====
There are no provisions made for rotating a viewer metadata stream when
a clear is performed on a live session. This means that a client can
request metadata that is only present in a newer chunk.
In the case of the crashes observed on the CI, the relay daemon attempts
to service a get_new_metadata request of size `4096`. It then fails to
read the data (as it was never present in the original trace chunk).
The relay daemon does not interpret the `0` returned by lttng_read() as
an error and sends a reply announcing `4096`bytes of metadata and no
payload.
Solution
========
Two fixes are rolled into this patch.
First, the return of lttng_read is checked for `0` and that situation is
handled as an error. However, this still leaves the problem of the
metadata stream not being rotated.
Secondly, the metadata relay_stream is checked for a rotation on every
`get_metadata` command. If a rotation has been detected, a viewer
rotation is performed on the metadata stream (very similar to the data
stream).
This solves the problem, but it leaves a case which the protocol does
not account for.
Essentially, the following can take place:
- relayd sets the "NEW_METADATA" flag as part of a `get_next_index`
query reply
- A rotation of the metadata stream occurs, no data is sent.
- client requests metadata
- metadata sent > received (was reset to 0 as part of the rotation)
In this scenario, the current implementation returned NO_NEW_METADATA,
but it is erroneous. Returning this guarantees to the viewer that it
will be able to decode all data packets that follow (until new metadata
is signalled, if ever).
Ideally, we would return a `RETRY` code, as is done by the data stream
handler when it detects that a rotation is taking place. Unfortunately,
such a code doesn't exist for the `get_metadata` command.
We return ̀ OK` with a length of 0, which is technically correct since
viewers are supposed to fetch metadata until the relay daemon returns
the `NO_NEW_METADATA` status code. However, supporting this has required
changes to babeltrace2's lttng-live source component.
I'm anticipating that most implementations don't handle the 0-length
case any better.
Known drawbacks
===============
Older viewers may not handle `OK` replies with a length of 0 gracefully.
Sending `NO_NEW_METADATA` is not an option as it breaks the guarantee
that all necessary metadata will be received before `NO_NEW_METADATA`.

Fix: post-clear trace chunk has a late beginning packet
Observed issue
==============
In the following scenario:
- create a regular session
- enable an event that occurs on only one core
- start tracing
- trace for a while
- stop tracing
- clear the session
- start
- trace for a while (referred to the "active period" later on)
- stop
The resulting trace will contain a very short stream intersection as the
active stream will contain packets spanning the entire active period.
However, all other streams will contain a single packet at the end of
the active period with a duration of 0 ns.
This presents two problems:
1) This makes the stream intersection mode of viewers unusable,
2) This misleads the user into thinking that tracing was not active
for some buffers.
Cause
=====
The packet beginning timestamps of the buffers are initialized on
creation (on the first "start" of a tracing session). When a "clear" is
performed on a session, all open packets are closed and the existing
contents are purged.
If a stream is inactive, it is possible for no packet to be "opened"
until the "stop" of the tracing session.
On stop, a "flush_empty" is performed. Such a flush opens a packet
(if it was not already the case), closes it, and marks the packet as
being ready for consumption.
Solution
========
Attempt to flush an empty packet as close to the rotation point as
possible. In the event where a stream remains inactive after the
rotation point, this ensures that the new trace chunk has a beginning
timestamp set at the begining of the trace chunk instead of only
creating an empty packet when the trace chunk is stopped.
This indicates to the viewers that the stream was being recorded, but
more importantly it allows viewers to determine a useable trace
intersection.
This presents a problem in the case where the ring-buffer is completely
full.
Consider the following scenario:
- The consumption of data is slow (slow network, for instance),
- The ring buffer is full,
- A rotation is initiated,
- The flush below does nothing (no space left to open a new packet),
- The other streams rotate very soon, and new data is produced in the
new chunk,
- This stream completes its rotation long after the rotation was
initiated
- The session is stopped before any event can be produced in this
stream's buffers.
The resulting trace chunk will have a single packet temporaly at the end
of the trace chunk for this stream making the stream intersection more
narrow than it should be.
To work-around this, an empty flush is performed after the first
consumption of a packet during a rotation if the initial flush failed.
The idea is that consuming a packet frees enough space to switch packets
in this scenario and allows the tracer to "stamp" the beginning of the
new trace chunk at the earliest possible point.
Note that metadata streams are always skipped when opening a packet.
This is done for two reasons:
1) Timestamps are not relevant to the metadata stream
2) Inserting an empty packet in the metadata stream after a rotation
breaks the use of "clear" in live mode.
The contents of the metadata streams of successive chunks must be
strict superset of one another as live clients only receive the
information appended to a metadata stream (i.e. the parts it
already has received can't change).
If a flush_empty was performed after a clear/rotation, it would
result in an empty packet being inserted at the beginning of the
metadata stream that wasn't present in the first chunk.
This would cause the live client and relay daemon to have
mismatching copies of the metadata stream.
Known drawbacks
===============
In the case of an inactive stream, this results in the completed trace
chunk archive containing an extra empty packet at the beginning of the
stream (typically 4kB).
In the case of an active stream, this change will cause the first packet
to be empty or contain few events.
Those are all efficiency losses that are inevitable (AFAIK) given the
current buffer control APIs. It will be possible to recoup those losses
if an API allowing the consumer daemon to open a new packet is
introduced.
As noted in the comments, this patch is not final. The flush after the
rotation should not be open-coded in lttng_consumer_read_subbuffer. It
should be a data-stream specific "post-consume" step.

Fix: kconsumer: missing wait for metadata thread in do_sync_metadata
The `do_sync_metadata` function is invoked everytime a data sub-buffer
is consumed in live mode.
In the user space case, lttng_ustconsumer_sync_metadata() returns
EAGAIN (positive) when there is new metadata to consume. This causes the
"metadata rendez-vous" synchronization to take place. However, the
kernel variant of this function returns 0 when there is new data to
consume, causing the "rendez-vous" to be skipped.
I have not observed an issue caused by this first-hand, but the check
appears bogus and skips over an essential synchronization step.
This check has been in place since at least 2013, although the callees
and their return values may have changed at some point in the past.
Solution
--------
The user space and kernel code paths mix various return code conventions
(negative errno, positive errno, 0/-1) which makes it difficult to
understand the final return codes and most likely lead to this confusion
in the first place.
Moreover, returning EAGAIN to indicate that data is ready to be consumed
is not appropriate in view of the existing conventions in the code base.
An explicit `enum sync_metadata_status` is returned by the domains'
sync_metadata operations which allows the common code to handle the
various conditions in a straight-forward manner and for the
"rendez-vous" to take place in the kernel case.

The hang is caused by the check of ongoing rotation which never finishes.
The consumer reports that the trace chunk still exists. This is caused
by an imbalance of the reference count for the trace chunk on close.
This is caused by a missing lttng_trace_chunk_put in destroy_channel
which is called on the error path for the consumer channel creation.
Solution
========
Call lttng_trace_chunk_put if the channel->trace_chunk is assigned
inside the channel_destroy function.

consumerd: refactor: split read_subbuf into sub-operations
[...]
Cause
=====
The commit that introduced the issue refactored the sub-buffer
consumption loop to eliminate code duplications between the user space
and kernel consumer daemons.
In doing so, it eleminated a metadata version check from the consumption
path.
The consumption of a metadata sub-buffer follows those relevant
high-level steps:
- `get` the sub-buffer
- /!\ user space specific /!\
- if the `get` fails, attempt to flush the metadata cache's
contents to the ring-buffer
- populate `stream_subbuffer` properties (size, version, etc.)
- check the sub-buffer's version against the last known metadata
version (pre-consume step)
- if they don't match, a metadata regeneration occurred: reset the
metadata consumed position
- consume (actual write/send)
- `put` sub-buffer
[...]
As shown above, the user space consumer must manage the flushing of the
metadata cache explicitly as opposed to the kernel domain for which the
tracer performs the flushing implicitly through the `get` operation.
When the user space consumer encounters a `get` failure, it checks
if all the metadata cache was flushed (consumed position != cache size),
and flushes any remaining contents.
However, the metadata version could have changed and yielded an
identical cache size: a regeneration without any new metadata will
yield the same cache size.
Since
6f9449c22, the metadata version check is only performed after
a successful `get`. This means that after a regeneration, `get`
never succeeds (there is seemingly nothing to consume), and the
metadata version check is never performed.
Therefore, the metadata stream is never put in the `reset` mode,
effectively not regenerating the data.
Note that producing new metadata (e.g. a newly registering app
announcing new events) would work around the problem here.
Solution
========
Add a metadata version check when failing to `get` a metadata
sub-buffer. This is done in `commit_one_metadata_packet()` when the
cache size is seen to be equal to the consumed position.
When this occurs, `consumer_stream_metadata_set_version()`, a new
consumer stream method, is invoked which sets the new metadata version,
sets the `reset` flag, and discards any previously bucketized metadata.
The metadata cache's consumed position is also reset, allowing the
cache flush to take place.
`metadata_stream_reset_cache()` is renamed to
`metadata_stream_reset_cache_consumed_position()` since its name is
misleading and since it is used as part of the fix.

actions: introduce action group
This patch introduces action groups as a new kind of action.
When creating a trigger, it is only possible to attach a single action.
Action groups allow users to attach more than one action.
A group is created using lttng_action_group_create. Actions are added
to it using lttng_action_group_add_action. The group can then be used
in a trigger, like any other action.
The operations required to be implemented by actions (serialize,
create_from_buffer, validate) are implemented by executing the operation
on all elements.
Current limitations are:
- To avoid any cycle, it is not possible to add a group inside a group.

[error] opening trace "net://localhost:xxxx/host/session/live_session" for reading.
[error] none of the specified trace paths could be opened.
```
While debugging both viewers, I noticed that both were attempting to
receive the available metadata before consuming the "data" streams'
content.
Typically, the following exchange between the relay daemon and the
lttng-live client occurs when the problem is observed:
bt lttng-live:
emits LTTNG_VIEWER_GET_METADATA command
relayd:
returns LTTNG_VIEWER_METADATA_OK, len = 4096 (default packet size)
bt lttng-live:
consume 4096 bytes of metadata
emits LTTNG_VIEWER_GET_METADATA command
relayd:
returns LTTNG_VIEWER_NO_NEW_METADATA
When the lttng-live client receives the LTTNG_VIEWER_NO_NEW_METADATA
status code, it attempts to parse all the metadata it has received
since the last LTTNG_VIEWER_NO_NEW_METADATA reply. In effect, it is
expected that this forms a logical unit of metadata that is parseable
on its own.
If this is the first time metadata is received for that trace, the
metadata is expected to contain a trace declaration, packet header
declaration, etc.
If metadata was already received, it is expected that the newly parsed
declarations can be "appended" to the existing trace schema.
It appears that the relay daemon sends the
LTTNG_VIEWER_NO_NEW_METADATA while the metadata it has sent up to that
point is not parseable on its own.
The live protocol description does not require or imply that a viewer
should attempt to parse metadata packets until it hopefully succeeds
at some point. Anyhow:
1) This would make it impossible for a live viewer to correctly
handle a corrupted metadata stream beyond retrying forever,
2) This behaviour is not implemented by the two reference
implementations of the protocol.
Cause
=====
The relay daemon provides a guarantee that it will send any available
metadata before allowing a data stream packet to be served to the
client.
In other words, a client requesting a data packet will receive the
LTTNG_VIEWER_FLAG_NEW_METADATA status code (and no data) if it
attempts to get a data stream packet while the relay daemon has
metadata already available.
This guarantee is properly enforced as far as I can tell. However,
looking at the consumer daemon implementation, it appears that
metadata packets are sent as soon as they are available.
A metadata packet is not guaranteed to be parseable on its own. For
instance, it can end in the middle the an event declaration.
Hence, this hints at a race involving the tracer, the consumer daemon,
the relay daemon, and the lttng-live client.
Consider the following scenario:
- Metadata packets (sub-buffers) are configured to be 4kB in size,
- a large number of kernel events are enabled (e.g. --kernel --all),
- the network connection between the consumer and relay daemons is
slow
1) The kernel tracer will produce enough TSDL metadata to fill the
first sub-buffer of the "metadata" ring-buffer and signal the
consumer daemon that a buffer is ready. The tracer then starts
writing the remaining data in the following available sub-buffers.
2) The consumer daemon metadata thread is woken up and consumes the
first metadata sub-buffer and sends it to the relay daemon.
3) A live client establishes an lttng-live connection to the relay
daemon and attempts to consume the available metadata. It receives
the first packet and, since the relay daemon doesn't know about any
follow-up metadata, receives LTTNG_VIEWER_NO_NEW_METADATA on the
next attempt.
4) Having received LTTNG_VIEWER_NO_NEW_METADATA, the lttng-live client
attempts to parse the metadata it has received and fails.
This scenario is easy to reproduce by inserting a "sleep(1)" at
src/bin/lttng-relayd/main.c:1978 (as of this revision). This simulates
a relay daemon that would be slow to receive/process metadata packets
from the consumer daemon.
This problem similarly applies to the user space tracer.
Solution
========
Having no knowledge of TSDL, the relay daemon can't "bundle" packets
of metadata until they form a "parseable unit" to send to the consumer
daemon.
To provide the parseability guarantee expected by the viewers, and by
the relay daemon implicitly, we need to ensure that the consumer
daemons only send "parseable units" of metadata to the relay daemon.
Unfortunately, the consumer daemons do not know how to parse TSDL
either. In fact, only the metadata producers are able to provide the
boundaries of the "parseable units" of metadata.
The general idea of the fix is to accumulate metadata up to a point
where a "parseable unit" boundary has been identified and send that
content in one request to the relay daemon. Note that the solution
described here only concerns the live mode. In other cases, the
mechanisms described are simply bypassed.
A "metadata bucket" is added to lttng_consumer_stream when it is
created from a live channel. This bucket is filled until the
consumption position reaches the "parseable unit" end position.
A refresher about the handling of metadata in live mode
-------------------------------------------------------
Three "events" are of interest here and can cause metadata to be
consumed more or less indirectly:
1) A metadata packet is closed, causing the metadata thread to wake
up
2) The live timer expires
3) A data sub-buffer is closed, causing the data thread to wake-up
1) The first case is simple and happens regardless of whether or not
the tracing session is in live mode or not. Metadata is always
consumed by the metadata thread in the same way. However, this
scenario can be "caused" by (2) and (3). See [1]. A sub-buffer is
"acquired" from the metadata ring-buffer and sent to the relayd
daemon as the payload of a "RELAYD_SEND_METADATA" command.
2) When the live timer expires [2], the 'check_stream' function is
called on all data streams of the session. As its name clearly
implies, this function is responsible for flushing all streams or
sending a "live beacon" (called an "empty index" in the code) if
there is no data to flush. Any flushed data will result in (3).
3) When a data sub-buffer is ready to be consumed, [1] is invoked
by the data thread. This function acquires a sub-buffer and sends
it to the relay daemon through the data connection.
Then, an important synchronization step takes place. The index of
the newly-sent packet will be sent through the control
connection. The relay daemon waits for both the data packet and its
matching index before making the new packet visible to live
viewers.
Since a data packet could contain data that requires "newer"
metadata to be decoded, the data thread flushes the metadata stream
and enters a "waiting" phase to pause until all metadata present in
the metadata ring buffer has been consumed [3].
At the end of this waiting phase, the data thread sends the data
packet's index to the relay daemon, allowing the relayd to make it
visible to its live clients.
How to identify a "parseable unit" boundary?
--------------------------------------------
In the case of the kernel domain, the kernel tracer produces the
actual TSDL descriptions directly. The TSDL metadata is serialized to
a metadata cache and is flushed "just in time" to the metadata
ring-buffer when a "get next" operation is performed.
There is no way, from user space, to query whether or not the metadata
cache of the kernel tracer is empty. Hence, a new
RING_RING_BUFFER_GET_NEXT_SUBBUF_METADATA_CHECK command was added to
query whether or not the kernel tracer's metadata cache is empty when
acquiring a sub-buffer.
This allows the consumer daemon to identify a "coherent" position in
the metadata stream that is safe to use as a "parseable unit"
boundary.
As for the user space domain, since the session daemon is responsible
for generating the TSDL representation of the metadata, there is no
need to change LTTng-ust APIs.
The session daemon generates coherent units of metadata and adds them
to its "registry" at once (protected by the registry's lock). It then
flushes the contents to the consumer daemon and waits for that data to
be consumed before proceeding further.
On the consumer daemon side, the metadata cache is filled with the
newly-produced contents. This is done atomically with respect to
accesses to the metadata cache as all accesses happen through a
dedicated metadata cache lock.
When the consumer's metadata polling thread is woken-up, it will
attempt to acquire (`get_next`) a sub-buffer from the metadata stream
ring-buffer. If it fails, it will flush a sub-buffer's worth of
metadata to the ring-buffer and attempt to acquire a sub-buffer again.
At this point, it is possible to determine if that sub-buffer is the
last one of a parseable metadata unit: the cache must be empty and the
ring-buffer must be empty following the consumption of this
sub-buffer. When those conditions are met, the resulting metadata
`stream_subbuffer` is tagged as being `coherent`.
Metadata bucket
---------------
A helper interface, metadata_bucket, is introduced as part of this
fix. A metadata_bucket is `fill`ed with `stream_subbuffer`s, and is
eventually `flushed` when it is filled by a `coherent` sub-buffer.
As older versions of LTTng-modules must remain supported, this new
helper is not used when the
RING_RING_BUFFER_GET_NEXT_SUBBUF_METADATA_CHECK operation is not
available. When the operation is available, the metadata stream's
bucketization is enabled, causing a bucket to be created and the
`consume` callback to be swapped.
The `consume` callback of the metadata streams is replaced by a new
implementation when the metadata bucketization is activated on the
stream. This implementation returns the padded size of the consumed
sub-buffer when they could be added to the bucket. When the bucket is
flushed, the regular `mmap`-based consumption function is called with
the bucket's contents.
Known drawbacks
===============
This implementation causes the consumer daemon to buffer the whole
initial unit of metadata before sending it. In practice, this is not
expected to be a problem since the largest metadata files we have seen
in real use are a couple of megabytes wide.
Beyond the (temporary) memory use, this causes the metadata thread to
block while this potentially large chunk of metadata is sent (rather
than blocking while sending 4kb at a time).
The second point is just a consequence of existing shortcomings of the
consumerd; slow IO should not affect other unrelated streams. The
fundamental problem is that blocking IO is used and we should switch
to non-blocking communication if this is a problem (as is done in the
relay daemon).
The first point is more problematic given the existing tracer APIs.
If the tracer could provide the boundary of a "parseable unit" of
metadata, we could send the header of the RELAYD_SEND_METADATA command
with that size and send the various metadata packets as they are made
available. This would make no difference to the relay daemon as it is
not blocking on that socket and will not make the metadata size change
visible to the "live server" until it has all been received.
This size can't be determined right now since it could exceed the
total size of the "metadata" ring buffer. In other words, we can't wait
for the production of metadata to complete before starting to consume.
Finally, while implementing this fix, I also realized that the
computation of the rotation position of the metadata streams is
erroneous. The rotation code makes use of the ring-buffer's positions
to determine the rotation position. However, since both user space and
kernel domains make use of a "cache" behind the ring-buffer, that
cached content must be taken into account when computing the metadata
stream's rotation position.

metadata/data-specific logic which makes modifications error prone and
introduces a fair amount of code duplication.
lttng_consumer_read_subbuffer is effectively turned into a template
method invoking overridable callbacks making most of the consumption
logic domain and data/metadata agnostic.
The goal is not to extensively clean-up that code path. A follow-up
fix introduces metadata buffering logic which would not reasonably fit
in the current scheme. This clean-up makes it easier to safely
introduce those changes.
No changes in behaviour are intended by this change.

consumerd: move rotation logic to domain-agnostic read path
The "rotation ready" logic is duplicated in both user space and kernel
specializations of the read subbuffer functions.
It is moved to the domain-agnostic caller where it is needed only
once. This makes it easier to implement a follow-up fix and reduces
code duplication.

sessiond: enforce mmap output type for kernel metadata channel
A follow-up fix causes the consumer daemon to accumulate metadata
packets into a complete "unit" that can be parsed before sending it to
the relay daemon.
The consumer daemon will also need to extract the contents of the
metadata cache when computing a rotation position (follow-up fix too).
Hence, it is not possible to rely on the splice back-end as the
consumer daemon may need to accumulate more content than can be backed
by the ring buffer's underlying pages.
In both cases, the splice output mode could still be used when
combined with a memfd, but I see no tangible benefit. Moreover, it
would require a 3.17 kernel.
Curiously the kernel metadata channel configuration appears to be
hard-coded twice; once in the ltt_kernel_session's
ltt_kernel_metadata, and once again in
kernel_consumer_add_metadata(). kernel_consumer_add_metadata is
modified to use the kernel session's metadata configuration.

consumerd: tag metadata channel as being part of a live session
metadata channels that are part of a live session must be handled
differently than when they are part of non-live sessions since
complete "metadata units" must be accumulated before they are
forwarded to a relay daemon.
This allows a follow-up fix to use this information since the
live_timer_interval of a metadata channel is always 0.

DEBUG1 - Sent 262156 bytes for stream 4 (in viewer_get_packet() at live.c:1852)
Cause
=====
The fs_handle_seek function calls lseek on a stream file of ~2.5GB. The
return value of the lseek call is downcasted from off_t (signed 64 bit
on my system) to int. The resulting value is negative and force an error
at the call sites.
Solution
========
Use off_t as the return type.
Note that current call sites of fs_handle_seek already expect an off_t
return value.
ag fs_handle_seek:
src/bin/lttng-relayd/stream.c
249: lseek_ret = fs_handle_seek(previous_stream_file, previous_stream_copy_origin, SEEK_SET);
src/bin/lttng-relayd/live.c
1804: lseek_ret = fs_handle_seek(vstream->stream_file.handle,
src/bin/lttng-relayd/viewer-stream.c
176: lseek_ret = fs_handle_seek(
ag lseek_ret:
src/bin/lttng-relayd/stream.c
193: off_t lseek_ret, previous_stream_copy_origin;
src/bin/lttng-relayd/live.c
1760: off_t lseek_ret;
src/bin/lttng-relayd/viewer-stream.c
174: off_t lseek_ret;
Known drawbacks
=========
This limitation existed before this patch.
On 32bit system without _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined at compile time
(-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) the lseek operation could return EOVERFLOW for
stream file bigger then 2,147,483,647 bytes. Anybody working on a 32bit
system should be aware of the limitation of working in 32bit.

Error: 2 trace chunks are leaked by lttng-consumerd. This can be caused by an internal error of the session daemon.
Cause
=====
The trace_chunk->timestamp_close is not set since the result from time()
is smaller than the creation timestamp.
The close timestamp is smaller because the calendar system time is
modified by an administrator.
time() offers no monotonicity guarantee and hence is exposed to time
modification of the system.
The begin and close timestamps are strictly used in the name generation
of the chunk/archives. Given the current usage of these timestamps
validating monotonicity should not be a fatal error. Name uniqueness is
provided by the chunk name suffix (auto increment).
Solution
========
Do not enforce monotonicity for the begin and close timestamps but warn
on unexpected return (begin > close).
Known drawbacks

Adds two sync points:
`--sync-in-main`: create a file when `gen-ust-nevents` when app is in
main,
`--sync-before-first-event`: wait on a file before starting to
generate any events.
Those two sync points allow for tests to do work when the testapp has

This is useful to perform actions on a UST channel once tracing has

* Use `≥` instead of `>=` (welcome to 2020).
* Do not specify why you need to configure with `--disable-epoll` to use
a Linux kernel < 2.6.27: I don't think the end user needs to know

Fix: sessiond: sessiond and agent deadlock on destroy
Observed issue

While running the out-of-tree java agent tests [1], the session daemon

Attaching gdb to the session daemon, we can see that two threads are
blocked in an intriguing state.

T8 is holding session list lock while the cmd_destroy_session
command is being processed. More specifically, it is attempting
to destroy an "agent_context" by communicating with an "agent"
application.
Meanwhile, T13 is still registering that same "agent" application.
Cause
-----
The deadlock itself is pretty simple to understand.
The "agent thread" (T13) has the responsability of accepting new agent
application connections. When such a connection occurs, the thread
creates a new `agent_app` instance and sends the current sessions'
configuration (i.e. their event rules and contexts) to the agent
application. When that "update" is complete, a "registration done"
message is sent to the new agent application.
From the stacktrace above, we can see that T13 is attempting to update
the agent application with its initial configuration, but it is
blocked on the acquisition of the session list lock. The application's
agent is also blocked since it is waiting for the "registration done"
message before allowing tracing to proceed (not shown here, but seen
in the test logs).
Meanwhile, T8 is holding the session list lock while destroying a
session. This is expected as all client commands are executed with
this lock held. It is, amongst other reasons, used to serialize
changes to the sessions' configuration and configuration updates sent
to the tracers (i.e. because new apps appear or to keep existing
tracers in sync with the users' session configuration).
The question becomes: why is T8 tearing down an application that is
not yet registered?
First, inspecting `agent_app` immediately shows that this structure
has no built-in synchronization mechanism. Therefore, the fact that
two threads are accessing it at the same time raises a big red flag.
Speculating on the intentions of the original design, my intuition is
that the "agent_management" thread's role is limited to instantiating
an `agent_app` and synchronizing it with the various sessions'
configuration. Once that synchronization is performed, the agent
application should be published and never accessed again by the "agent
thread".
Configuration updates (i.e. new event rules, contexts) are then sent
synchronously as they are requested by a client in the context of the
client thread. Those updates are performed while holding the session
list lock.
Hence, there is only one thread that should manipulate the agent
application at any given time making an explicit `agent_app` lock
unnecessary.
Overall, this would echo what is done when a 'user space tracer'
application registers to the session daemon (see dispatch.c:368).
Evidently this isn't what is happening here.
The agent thread creates the `agent_app`, publishes it, and then
performs an "agent app update" (sending the configuration) while
holding the session list lock. This means that there is a window where
an agent application is visible to the other threads, yet has not been
properly registered.
Solution
--------
The acquisition of the session list lock is moved outside of
update_agent_app() to allow the "agent thread" to hold the session
list lock during the "configuration update" phase of the agent
application registration.
Essentially, the sequence of operation changes from:
- Agent tcp connection established
- call handle_registration()
- agent version check
- allocation of agent_app instance
- new agent_add is published through the global agent_apps_ht_by_sock
hashtable
***
it is now reachable by all other threads without any form of
exclusivity synchronization.
***
- update_agent_app
- acquire session list lock
- iterate over sessions
- send configuration
- release session list lock
- send registration done
to:
- Agent tcp connection established
- call accept_agent_registration()
- agent version check
- allocation of agent_app instance
- acquire session list lock
- update_agent_app
- iterate over sessions
- send configuration
- send registration done
- new agent_add is published through the global agent_apps_ht_by_sock
hashtable
- release session list lock

Fix: load: incomplete error handling for load_session_from_file
This fix is adapted from a fix against the stable-2.11 branch. The
commit message of the stable-2.11 branch follows.
An equivalent fix was already in place in `load_session_from_path()`,
but the same problem as the stable-2.11 branch is present in
`load_session_from_file()`.
Original message:
Observed issue
==============
lttng-ivc test fails to fail.
test_save_load_blocking_timeout[lttng-tools-2.12-lttng-tools-2.11-False]
Here we load a xml created by lttng-tools-2.12 and try to load it using
lttng-tools 2.11. We expect this to fail on the load.
The command report an error on the stderr but the command return code
value is zero.
From lttng-ivc test runtime.log:
Command #0
Return value: 0
Command: lttng load --input-path=/home/joraj/lttng/lttng-ivc/.tox/py3/tmp/test_save_load_blocking_timeou0/save_load saved_trace
STDOUT:
Session saved_trace has been loaded successfully
STDERR:
XML Error: Element 'process_attr_trackers': This element is not expected.
Error: Session configuration file validation failed
Cause
=====
The error coming from load_session_from_file is not handled correctly.
Solution
========
Rework error handling in load_session_from_path and
load_session_from_file.
LTTNG_ERR_LOAD_SESSION_NOENT is NOT an error when session_name is
specified in load_session_from_path. In this scenario, we are actively
looking for the configuration of the session.

The 2.12 release changes the way tracked process attributes are
expressed in the MI and save/restore formats. While the MI schema was
bumped to 4.0, the save/restore schema only undergoes a minor bump to
accomodate existing users.
The original commit introducing this change justified the breaking
change as saved PIDs being fairly unlikely. However, even the

existed and made all existing configurations incompatible.

Fix: python: suppress -Wmissing-prototypes warning with SWIG 3.0.10
SWIG 3.0.10 is used on SLES 12. It produces this warning:
CC lttng_wrap.lo
lttng_wrap.c:3411:1: error: no previous prototype for ‘SWIG_strnlen’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
3411 | SWIG_strnlen(const char* s, size_t maxlen)
| ^~~~~~
SWIG_strnlen is defined like this:
size_t
SWIG_strnlen(const char* s, size_t maxlen)
{
...
}
Since the function is not static and has no previous declaration, the
diagnostic is emitted. We can see that they have fixed it in SWIG
3.0.12, where the same function is defined as:
SWIGINTERN size_t
SWIG_strnlen(const char* s, size_t maxlen)
{
...
}
SWIGINTERN is defined as static.
We can workaround the warning by adding our own declaration for
SWIG_strnlen in lttng.i(.in).
Tested by build with SWIG 3.0.10, 3.0.11 and 3.0.12.

Fix: relayd: harmonize path format in backward-compat mode
Observed issue
==============
Currently, the relay daemon produces the following path formats
depending on the whether a tracepath is provided, the version of the
session daemon peer, and the grouping option specified on launch of
the relay daemon.
Hostname grouping, no custom trace path
pre 2.11: $BASE/$SHOSTNAME/$SESSION-$DATETIME
2.12: $BASE/$SHOSTNAME/$SESSION-$DATETIME
Hostname grouping, custom trace path
pre 2.11: $BASE/$HOSTNAME/$TRACEPATH
2.12: $BASE/$HOSTNAME/$TRACEPATH
Tracing session grouping, no custom trace path
pre 2.11: $BASE/$SESSION/$HOSTNAME-$DATETIME
2.12: $BASE/$SESSION/$HOSTNAME-$DATETIME
Tracing session grouping, custom trace path
pre 2.11: $BASE/$SESSION/$HOSTNAME/$TRACEPATH
2.12: $BASE/$SESSION/$HOSTNAME-$DATETIME/$TRACEPATH
As you can see, there is a single case where the format
diverges based on the version of the session daemon.
Cause
=====
Pre-2.11 session daemons do not transmit a session creation time when
a TRACEPATH is specified as part of the streaming url (e.g.
`lttng create my_session --set-url net://localhost/a_path`)
Hence, the backward compatibility path formatting code does not
insert a "DATETIME" string in the resulting path.
Solution
========
The relay daemon samples the time when it creates its session and that
time is formatted into the DATETIME representation if no DATETIME is
present in the path provided by pre-2.11 peers.
Drawbacks
=========
Sampling the relay session creation time will not yield the exact same
behaviour as what a 2.11+ peer would produce, but it is a reasonable
approximation for most use-cases.
Users depending on this time being the exact same as that sampled by
the session daemon will need to adapt tools anyhow if they use the new
--group-output-by-session option, so the change doesn't introduce more
problems.
This behaviour can be surprising when snapshots are streamed by
pre-2.11 peers as the session creation DATETIME will be different for
all snapshots. This is not ideal, but still less jarring than getting
a completely different path format depending on a peer's version.

Bump session.xsd version to 2.12
The session schema has changed to include new tracked process
attributes. This change is technically non-backward compatible if
tracked PIDs were saved.
As it is extremely unlikely that anyone saves PIDs to a session
configuration to load it in another lttng-tools version, the schema
does not allow the pre-2.12 PID tracking specification to be
expressed. In my opinion, this is unlikely enough not to warrant a
major version bump.
This can be changed if someone really encounters this in the wild or
has a legitimate use case for going through this trouble.

Fix: relayd: assertion fails on creation of session by peer < 2.11
Observed issue
==============
An assertion that a chunk has no active directory handle fails when
creating an anonymous chunk. More specifically, this occurs when
associating an fd tracker to the newly created anonymous trace chunk.
This occurs when a session is created by a peer that is older than
2.11.
Cause
=====
Trace chunks that should monitor their file descriptors with a file
descriptor tracker must be associated with the tracker before any
other operation occurs on the chunk. This is to ensure that "raw" file
descriptors are not created when they were meant to be tracked.
Here, the credentials and session output directory are set before the
file descriptor tracker was provided to the anonymous chunk which is a
breach of the API contract (enforced by the assert()).
Solution
========
Associate the fd tracker immediately to the anonymous chunk before
providing it with a reference to the file descriptor
tracker. Moreover, a leak of the output_directory is prevented by not
setting it to NULL. The trace chunk will acquire a reference to the
trace chunk; it is not transferred to the trace chunk.
Note
====
The problem was introduced during the 2.12 release cycle (clear
feature); this doesn't need to be backported.

Cause
=====
lttng_trace_chunk_set_as_owner() correctly handles the case
where a trace chunk has no output path, but expects the path
to be an empty string rather than being NULL.
This is not correct as an anonymous chunk, created in backward
compatibility mode when interacting with older peers, has no
path; the path is transmitted as part of the streams' attributes
upon their creation.
Solution
========
Simply check for a NULL pointer in the same place where the empty
chunk path string is created. The rest of the code in trace-chunk.c
doesn't assume that the chunk's path is non-NULL.
