5 years agoFix: alignment of ring buffer shm space reservation
Mathieu Desnoyers [Fri, 10 May 2019 15:51:10 +0000 (11:51 -0400)] 
Fix: alignment of ring buffer shm space reservation

commit a9ff648cc "Implement file-backed ring buffer" changes the order
of backend fields with respect to the frontend per-subbuffer
commit_counters_hot and commit_counters_cold arrays, but does not change
that order when calculating the space needed in the initial pass.

This discrepancy can be an issue for field alignment calculation.
Let's analyse the situation. If the incorrect position of alignment
calculation leads to a larger space reserved than the actual
allocations, no ill effect will be perceived by the user. However,
if space calculation is less than the allocations, it will cause the
ring buffer (and thus channel) creation to fail.

The fields that are incorrectly misplaced in size calculation (in
officially released versions) are:

* struct commit_counters_hot is aligned on CAA_CACHE_LINE_SIZE,
* struct commit_counters_cold is aligned on CAA_CACHE_LINE_SIZE,

Those are placed after (should be before) the backend fields:

* struct lttng_ust_lib_ring_buffer_backend_pages_shmp aligned on the
  natural alignment of ssize_t,
* alignment on page size,
* struct lttng_ust_lib_ring_buffer_backend_pages, aligned on the natural
  alignment of ssize_t,
* struct lttng_ust_lib_ring_buffer_backend_subbuffer, aligned on natural
  alignment of unsigned long,
* struct lttng_ust_lib_ring_buffer_backend_counts, aligned on natural
  alignment of uint64_t.

The largest alignment is the alignment on page size in the backend
fields. If we have a channel configured within specific ranges of
sub-buffer count, we should reach commit counters array dimensions
which cause the page size alignment to be lower than it should be in
the space calculation, and therefore leads to a problematic scenario
where space allocation will fail, thus leading to channel creation
failures.

5 years agoFix: don't access packet header for stream_id and stream_instance_id getters
Mathieu Desnoyers [Wed, 10 Apr 2019 14:31:47 +0000 (10:31 -0400)] 
Fix: don't access packet header for stream_id and stream_instance_id getters

The stream ID and stream instance ID are invariant for a stream, so
there is no point reading them from the packet header currently owned by
the consumer (between get/put subbuf).

Actually, the consumer try to access the stream_id from the live timer
when sending a live beacon without getting the reader subbuffer first.
Doing so is racy against producers. In typical live scenarios
(non-overwrite channels), the producers will always write the same
stream id and stream instance id values at the same header offsets,
which will "work", except for the initial state of an empty buffer:
the value "0" will be returned (erroneously).

For the less frequently used scenario of a live session with "overwrite"
channels, this is handled by issuing a CHAN_WARN_ON, which disables
tracing for the channel, and prints warning to the consumerd console
when running consumerd with LTTNG_UST_DEBUG=1.

In the case where a ring buffer does not have any data ready, it makes
no sense to try to get a subbuffer for reading anyway, so the approach
was broken.

So return the stream id and stream instance id from the internal
data structures rather than reading it from the ring buffer.

Move wait_shm_mmap initialization to library constructor

Prevent us from deadlocking ourself if some glibc implementation
decide to hold the dl_load_* locks on fork operation.

This happens on Yocto Rocko and up when performing python tracing (import
lttngust). Why Yocto decided to patch glibc this way is a mystery
(ongoing effort) [1][2][3].

Anyhow, we can prevent this by moving the initialization of the
wait_shm_mmap to the library constructor since the dl_load_* locks are
nestable mutex.

Nothing in the git log for the wait_shm_mmap indicate a specific reason
to why it was done inside the listener thread. Doing it inside
wait_for_sessiond can help in some corner cases were /dev/shm
(or the shm path) files are unlinked. This is not much of an advantage.

Fix: race between statedump and library destructor

The locking scheme for ust_lock() returns a teardown state (variable
lttng_ust_comm_should_quit) which is set by library destructor with lock
held.

It requires that when ust listener threads use this lock to protect
against concurrent accesses to a data structure, in addition to take
the lock, they need to check the return value of ust_lock() and
skip their critical section entirely if the return value indicates
that teardown is ongoing.

Iteration over all loaded libraries by lttng_ust_dl_update() starts by
iter_begin which grabs the lock, and sets data->cancel state
appropriately if teardown is ongoing. Then extract_bin_info_events()
uses the data->cancel state to skip over use of the protected structures
as needed, but iter_end() fails to take this data->cancel state into
account. Therefore, it can access data structures concurrently while
their teardown is ongoing which leads to crashes.

Performance: mark ring buffer do_copy callers always inline

The underlying copy operation is more efficient if the size is a
constant, which only happens if this function is inlined in the caller.
Otherwise, we end up calling memcpy for each field.

Force inlining for performance reasons for:
  - lib_ring_buffer_write,
  - lib_ring_buffer_do_strcpy,
  - lib_ring_buffer_strcpy.

Note that in lttng-ust, the probe provider serialization functions need
to call the lttng_event_write() client callback, which will fallback to
the memcpy operation.

Inlining those functions helps for the event header code, which can
inline them.
