Fix: libc wrapper: use initial-exec for malloc_nesting TLS
Use the initial-exec TLS model for the malloc_nesting nesting guard
variable to ensure that the glibc implementation of the TLS access don't
trigger infinite recursion by calling the memory allocator wrapper
functions, which can happen with global-dynamic.
Considering that the libc wrapper is meant to be loaded with LD_PRELOAD
anyway (never with dlopen(3)), we always expect the libc to have enough
space to hold the malloc_nesting variable.
In addition to change the malloc_nesting from global-dynamic to
initial-exec, this removes the URCU TLS compatibility layer from the
libc wrapper, which is a good thing: this compatibility layer relies
on pthread key and calloc internally, which makes it a bad fit for TLS
accesses guarding access to malloc wrappers, due to possible infinite
recursion.

ustfork: Fix possible race conditions
Assuming that `dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "symbol")' is invariant for "symbol",
then we could think that memory operations on the `plibc_func' pointers can
be safely done without atomics.
However, consider what would happen if a load to a`plibc_func' pointer
is torn apart by the compiler. Then a thread could see:
1) NULL
2) The stored value as returned by a dlsym() call
3) A mix of 1) and 2)
The same goes for other optimizations that a compiler is authorized to
do (e.g. store tearing, load fusing).
One could question whether such race condition is even possible for the
clone(2) wrapper. Indeed, a thread must be cloned to get into
existence. Therefore, the main thread would always store the value of
`plibc_func' at least once before creating the first sibling thread,
preventing any possible race condition for this wrapper. However, this
assume that the main thread will not call the clone system call directly
before calling the libc wrapper! Thus, to be on the safe side, we do the
same for the clone wrapper.
Fix the race conditions by using the uatomic_read/uatomic_set functions,
on access to `plibc_func' pointers.

Fix: use unaligned pointer accesses for lttng_inline_memcpy

causes issues (traps) specifically on arm 32-bit with 8-byte strings
(including \0).
Use unaligned pointer accesses for loads/stores within

There is an impact on code generation on some architectures. Using the
following test code on godbolt.org:
The resulting assembler (gcc 12.2.0 in -O2) between aligned and
unaligned:
- x86-32: unchanged.
- x86-64: unchanged.
- powerpc32: unchanged.
- powerpc64: unchanged.
- arm32: 16 and 32-bit copy: unchanged. Added code for 64-bit unaligned copy.
- aarch64: unchanged.
- mips32: added code for unaligned.
- mips64: added code for unaligned.
- riscv: added code for unaligned.
If we want to improve the situation on mips and riscv, this would
require introducing a new "lttng_inline_integer_copy" and expose
additional ring buffer client APIs in addition to event_write() which
take integers as inputs. Let's not introduce that complexity yet until

number of CPUs that can be attached to the system for the lifetime of an

that is indexed by the numerical id of the CPUs.
As such we expect that the highest possible CPU id would be one less
than the number returned by sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) which is
unfortunatly not always the case and can vary across libc
implementations and versions.
Glibc up to 2.35 will count the number of "cpuX" directories in

LTTng-UST scheme for letting listener threads wait on session daemon
to wake up a futex is similar to the liburcu workqueue code, which has
an issue with spurious wakeups.
This wait/wakeup scheme is only used after the LTTng-UST listener thread
has been unable to connect to the session daemon.
A spurious wakeup on wait_for_sessiond can cause wait_for_sessiond to
return with a sock_info->wait_shm_mmap state of 0, which is unexpected.
However, this should not cause any user-observable issues other than
using slightly more CPU time than strictly needed, because this spurious
wakeup will only cause an additional connection attempt to the session
daemon to fail.
Cause
=====
From futex(5):
FUTEX_WAIT
Returns 0 if the caller was woken up. Note that a wake-up can
also be caused by common futex usage patterns in unrelated code
that happened to have previously used the futex word's memory
location (e.g., typical futex-based implementations of Pthreads
mutexes can cause this under some conditions). Therefore, call‐
ers should always conservatively assume that a return value of 0
can mean a spurious wake-up, and use the futex word's value
(i.e., the user-space synchronization scheme) to decide whether
to continue to block or not.
Solution
========
We therefore need to validate whether the value differs from 0 in
user-space after the call to FUTEX_WAIT returns 0.
ust_lock_nocheck is meant to be async-signal-safe for use from the
fork() override helper (and fork(2) is async-signal-safe).
Remove calls to strerror() from ust lock functions and from the
cancelstate helper because strerror is not async-signal-safe and indeed
allocates memory.
Fix: remove non-async-signal-safe fflush from ERR()
Commit ff1fedb9f2e8 ("usterr: make error reporting functions signal safe")
changed the logging printout mechanism to use patient_write() to a file
descriptor to ensure signal-safety of the ERR() logging mechanism.
However, the fflush(stderr) was left in place, although it was useless.
Unfortunately, fflush() is not async-signal-safe.
Fix: Pointers are rejected by integer element compile time assertion for array and sequence
commit 2df82195d140b ("Add compile time assertion that array and
sequence have integer elements") introduced a check to validate that
sequences and arrays only contain integers. This was meant to refuse
arrays of double/float which are not supported.
However, as a side-effect, this also refuses arrays and sequences of
pointers, which were accepted prior to lttng-ust 2.13.
Introduce a lttng_ust_is_pointer_type() and use it in the array/sequence
type validation. The trick here is to use the fact that a difference
between two pointers in C is an integer. Therefore, we can validate that
an argument type is a pointer similarly to C++ is_pointer.

Fix: bytecode interpreter context_get_index() leaves byte order uninitialized
Observed Issue
==============
When using the event notification capture feature to capture a context
field, e.g. '$ctx.cpu_id', the captured value is often observed in
reverse byte order.
Cause
=====
Within the bytecode interpreter, context_get_index() leaves the "rev_bo"
field uninitialized in the top of stack.
This only affects the event notification capture bytecode because the
BYTECODE_OP_GET_SYMBOL bytecode instruction (as of lttng-tools 2.13)
is only generated for capture bytecode in lttng-tools. Therefore, only
capture bytecode targeting contexts are affected by this issue. The
reason why lttng-tools uses the "legacy" bytecode instruction to get
context (BYTECODE_OP_GET_CONTEXT_REF) for the filter bytecode is to
preserve backward compatibility of filtering when interacting with
applications linked against LTTng-UST 2.12.
Solution
========
Initialize the rev_bo field based on the context field type
reserve_byte_order field.
Sampling the discarded events count in the buffer_end callback is done
out of order, and may therefore include increments performed by following
events (in following packets) if the thread doing the end-of-packet
event write is preempted for a long time.
Sampling the event discarded counts before reserving space for the last
event in a packet, and keeping this as part of the private ring buffer
context, should fix this race.
When compiling with -DLTTNG_RING_BUFFER_COUNT_EVENTS, the lttng-ust
libringbuffer can count events (with additional overhead). This is never
used or enabled by default. Fix this code so it compiles again when the
define is enabled.
If exec(2) is executed by the application concurrently with LTTng-UST
listener threads between the creation of a file descriptor with
socket(2), recvmsg(2), or pipe(2) and call to fcntl(3) FD_CLOEXEC, those
file descriptors will stay open after the exec, which is not intended.
As a consequence, shared memory files for ring buffers can stay present
on the file system for long-running traced processes.
Use:
- pipe2(2) O_CLOEXEC (supported since Linux 2.6.27, and by FreeBSD),
- socket(2) SOCK_CLOEXEC (supported since Linux 2.6.27, and by FreeBSD),
- recvmsg(2) MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC (supported since Linux 2.6.23 and by FreeBSD),
rather than fcntl(2) FD_CLOEXEC to make sure the file descriptors are
closed on exec immediately upon their creation.

Add 'domain' parameter to the Log4j 2.x agent
The initial Log4j 2.x agent commit only implemented a compatibility mode
to be used with the existing LOG4J domain in lttng-tools.
In this mode the agent converts the new Log4j 2.x loglevel values to
their corresponding Log4j 1.x values in the same way the upstream
compatibility bridge does.
This is great when doing in-place migration using the upstream
compatibility bridge but doesn't cover the usecase of an application
that natively uses Log4j 2.x.
This commit adds a new mandatory 'domain' parameter to the Log4j2 agent
which currently only implements the 'LOG4J' compatibility domain in
preparation to adding a 'LOG4J2' domain.
The configuration for a single appender in Log4j 1.x compat mode will
now look like this:

fix: Convert custom loglevels in Log4j 2.x agent
The loglevel integer representation has changed between log4j 1.x and
2.x, we currently convert the standard loglevels but passthrough the
custom ones.
This can be problematic when using severity ranges as custom loglevels
won't be properly filtered.
Use the same strategy as the upstream Log4j 2.x compatibility layer by
converting the custom loglevels to their equivalent standard loglevel
value.

This backport differs from the master branch for the
'--enable-java-agent-all' option won't select this new agent since we
wanted to avoid introducing a new dependency in existing configurations.
The name of the new agent jar file is "lttng-ust-agent-log4j2.jar".
It will be installed in the arch-agnostic "$prefix/share/java" path
e.g: "/usr/share/java".
It uses the same jni library "liblttng-ust-log4j-jni.so" as the Log4j 1.x agent.
The agent was designed as a mostly drop-in replacement for applications
upgrading from Log4j 1.x to 2.x. It requires no modification to the
tracing configuration as it uses the same domain "-l / LOG4J" and the
loglevels integer representations are converted to the Log4j 1.x values
(excluding custom loglevels).
The recommended way to use this agent with Log4j 2.x is to add an
"Lttng" Appender with an arbiraty name and associate it with one or more
Logger using an AppenderRef.
For example, here is a basic log4j2 xml configuration that would send
all logging statements exlusively to an lttng appender:
More examples can be found in the 'doc/examples' directory.
The implementation of the appender is based on this[1] great guide by
Keith D. Gregory which is so much more detailed than the official
documentation, my thanks to him.

lttng-sessiond does not expect the variant_nestable type when generating
UST metadata. This fix only belongs to the master branch, not to a
stable branch.
LTTng-UST 2.13 serializes the contents of the variant_nestable union
field, but keeps the "atype" as lttng_ust_ctl_atype_variant.
It happens to work by pure chance because the binary layout of the
variant_nestable and legacy.variant union fields are the same, except
for the alignment field of variant_nestable which is zeroed padding in
the legacy.variant. Therefore, as long as the variant_nestable has a
padding of 0, everything works out fine (which is currently the case).
But it's better to fix this discrepancy in case we ever plan to use a
nonzero variant alignment.
Fix: doc/examples/java-log4j: fix paths to directories
Since the directory hierarchy refactoring introduced in the 2.13 release
of lttng-ust, the paths in `run` are wrong, they are missing a `src`
component.
ust-compiler: constructor/destructor whitespaces layout and macro dependency
Introduce LTTNG_UST_COMPILER_COMBINE_TOKENS in lttng/ust-compiler.h to
eliminate a circular dependency from ust-compiler.h to
LTTNG_UST__TP_COMBINE_TOKENS (defined in tracepoint.h). Use it in
LTTNG_UST_DECLARE_CONSTRUCTOR_DESTRUCTOR.
Change the layout of LTTNG_UST_DECLARE_CONSTRUCTOR_DESTRUCTOR to use
tabs rather than spaces.
The default behavior, for AC_CHECK_LIB when the `action-if-found` is NOT
defined, is to prepend the library to LIBS. [1]
"
If action-if-found is not specified, the default action prepends
-llibrary to LIBS and defines ‘HAVE_LIBlibrary’ (in all capitals).
"
It is important to note that the LIBS variable is used for ALL linking.
This is normally not a problem for most distribution since they force
the use of `--as-needed` at the toolchain level (gcc specs) (for example
debian [2]). One could also pass the `--as-needed` flag manually but
libtool reorganize flags in the case of shared object creation [3].
In our case, we always explicitly state the dependencies via the *_LIBADD
automake clause. We do not rely on the LIBS variable.
Simply force the define of HAVE_LIBNUMA to prevent the prepending to
LIBS.

Cause
=====
Building tracepoint instrumentation as C++ using clang causes
LTTNG_UST_ALLOCATE_COMPOUND_LITERAL_ON_HEAP to be defined due to a
compiler version detection problem addressed by another patch.
However, building with LTTNG_UST_ALLOCATE_COMPOUND_LITERAL_ON_HEAP
defined still results in the crash.
When LTTNG_UST_ALLOCATE_COMPOUND_LITERAL_ON_HEAP is defined, the
lttng_ust_event_field lttng_ust__event_fields__[...] structure is
initialized by dynamically-allocating field structures for the various
fields.
As the initialization can't be performed statically, it is performed at
run-time _after_ the execution of the library constructors has
completed.
Moreover, the generated initialization
function of the provider (lttng_ust__events_init__[...]) is declared as being a library
constructor. Hence, this causes it to run before the
tracepoint fields structures has a chance to be initialized.
This all results in a NULL pointer dereference during the validation of
the fields.
Solution
========
When building providers as C++, the initialization function is defined
as the constructor of a class. This class is, in turn, instantiated in
an anonymous namespace.
For the purposes of this patch, the use of an anonymous namespace is
equivalent to declaring the instance as 'static', but it is preferred in
C++11.
Known drawbacks

None.

Problem initially reported on dotnet/runtime's issue tracker:
https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/62398
The pthread cancelstate disable performed to ensure threads are not
cancelled while holding mutexes which are used in library destructors
does not currently support that those mutexes may be nested. It
generates error messages when using the fork and fd helpers when running
with LTTNG_UST_DEBUG=1. The effect of this is that the pthread
cancelstate can be re-enabled too soon when the first unlock is
performed (in a nested lock scenario), thus allowing the thread to be
cancelled while still holding a lock, and causing a deadlock on
application exit.

Cause
=====
An enable command is processed at the same time that the lttng-ust
destructor is run. At the end of the command handling,
`handle_pending_statedump` is called. Multiple variables from the
`sock_info` struct are checked outside the UST lock at that point.
lttng-ust-comm.c +1406:
/*
* Performed delayed statedump operations outside of the UST
* lock. We need to take the dynamic loader lock before we take
* the UST lock internally within handle_pending_statedump().
*/
handle_pending_statedump(sock_info);
`statedump_pending` is set during the enable command
(`lttng_session_statedump`, lttng-events.c +631) in the same thread.
As for `registration_done` and `initial_statedump_done` they are invariant
from the registration of the app until `lttng_ust_cleanup` is called.
`cleanup_sock_info` called by `lttng_ust_cleanup`, itself called by
`lttng_ust_exit` resets the `registration_done` and
`initial_statedump_done` fields. Note that these operations are done
outside of the listener thread.
Note that by that point `lttng_ust_exit` expects all "getters" on
`sock_info` to fail while trying to acquire the UST lock due to
`lttng_ust_comm_should_quit` set to 1. Note that the listener threads
can still exist because we do not join them, we only execute
pthread_cancel which is async.
Clearly we are missing mutual exclusion provided by locking
when accessing `registration_done` and `initial_statedump_done`.
Solution
========
Here we can do better and simply not require any mutual exclusion based on locking.
`registration_done` and `initial_statedump_done` only need to be reset
to zero when we are not actually exiting (`lttng_ust_after_fork_child`).
In this case, no concurrent listener thread exists at that point
that could access those fields during the reset. Hence we can move the
reset to only the non-exiting code path and alleviate the current
situation.

fix: allocating C++ compound literal on heap with Clang
Exclude Clang from the GCC version macro check for <= 4.8 since most
versions of Clang seem to identify themselves as GCC 4.2 which in this
case forces the allocation of C++ compound literals on the heap which
is only supported starting with Clang >= 6.0.
The macro was also broken for GCC <= 4.8 in C mode, add missing
parentheses around the 'or' statement to properly distinguish between C
and C++.
Also document the minimal supported version of Clang 4.0 to build C++
probe providers.

Check for C++11 when building C++ probe providers
The compiler used to build probe providers might differ from the one
used to build lttng-ust, make sure that when a probe provider is built
by a C++ compiler, it supports C++11.

fix: liblttng-ust-fd async-signal-safe close()
"close(2)" is documented as async-signal-safe (see signal-safety(7)) and
as such our override function should also be. This means we shouldn't do
lazy initialization of the function pointer to the original libc close
symbol in the override function.
If we move the initialization of the function pointer in the library
constructor we risk breaking other constructors that may run before ours
and call close().
A compromise is to explicitly do the initialization in the constructor
but keep a lazy init scheme if close() is called before it is executed.
The dlsym call is now done only once, if it fails the wrappers will
return -1 and set errno to ENOSYS.

tracepoints: print debug message when lttng-ust-tracepoint.so is not found
Rather than silently disable tracepoints when lttng-ust-tracepoint.so is
not found in the library search path, print a debug message when either
the compile unit including tracepoint.h has defined LTTNG_UST_DEBUG, or
when the LTTNG_UST_DEBUG environment variable is set.
gcc 4.8 introduces support for C11, and gcc 4.6 introduces support for
_Static_assert. Therefore, using _Static_assert when C11 is detected is
always OK.
However, using static_assert in C11 depends on glibc >= 2.16. Even
though the minimum version requirement for glibc is not documented in
the README.md file, make a best effort to keep compatibility with older
glibc.
Fix: combined tracing of lttng-ust 2.12/2.13 generates corrupted traces
Observed issue
==============
When tracing applications linked against lttng-ust 2.12 and lttng-ust
2.13 in parallel with a lttng-tools 2.13 into the same per-uid buffers,
with the "procname" context enabled, babeltrace fails with "Event id NN
is outside range" when reading the trace:
[14:51:58.717006865] (+5.927872956) x lttng_ust_statedump:start: { cpu_id = 1 }, { procname = "sample-2.13-ust" }, { }
[error] Event id 41984 is outside range.
[error] Reading event failed.
Error printing trace.
Cause
=====
Inspection of the trace reveals that the layout of the procname context
field changed from 17 bytes to 16 bytes between 2.12 and 2.13. This is
an issue when applications share a per-uid ring buffer, because context
fields are associated with channels, and need to have the same layout
across all processes tracing into a given channel.
The layout of the procname field described by the trace metadata is that
of the first application which happens to register that channel in the
session lifetime.
Therefore, the procname context field length is part of the LTTng-UST
ABI and cannot be changed without breaking the LTTng-UST ABI (bumping
LTTNG_UST_ABI_MAJOR_VERSION_OLDEST_COMPATIBLE), which is unwanted
between 2.12 and 2.13. Keeping compatibility for combined use by
different applications between lttng-ust 2.12 and 2.13 is a required
feature for this release, because lttng-ust 2.13 introduces a library
ABI break (soname bump).
An example scenario leading to this issue:
1) trace created for per-uid buffers,
2) add procname context
3) start tracing
4) Application [a] linked against lttng-ust 2.13 registers the channel to
lttng-sessiond, sending its context descriptions with a 16-byte
procname context field,
5) Application [b] linked against lttng-ust 2.12 registers the same channel
to lttng-sessiond,
6) Application [b] traces an event with the procname context, followed
by an event payload with a single "string" field.
7) A trace viewer will observe the procname context, followed by an
extra null character, and thus mistakenly consider the event payload
to be an empty string. Reading the next event header will fail
because the string payload will be expected to contain an event ID.
Solution
========
Revert the procname context field size to 17 bytes to stay compatible
with lttng-ust 2.12.
In an abundance of caution, also revert the size of the
lttng_ust_statedump:procname "procname" field to 17, so there won't be
duplicated event IDs for this event when applications linked against
lttng-ust 2.12 and 2.13 are traced concurrently for the same user ID
in per-uid tracing.
History
=======
This issue was introduced by commit 0db3d6ee9be ("port: fix
pthread_setname_np integration") within the 2.13 development cycle.
Known drawbacks
===============
Applications currently running which are linked against a liblttng-ust
2.13 without this fix should be restarted after upgrading the library to
liblttng-ust 2.13 with this fix.
Documentation: clarify API backward compatibility comment
Considering that the ABI (soname major version) and API version can

doc/man: only mention `-llttng-ust-common` in synopses (conditionally)
LTTng-UST only requires that you link your application or tracepoint
provider package with `-llttng-ust-common` if you define
`_LGPL_SOURCE` before you include, directly or indirectly,
`<lttng/tracepoint.h>`.
The `_LGPL_SOURCE` definition is specific to the EfficiOS/LTTng
projects.
Because defining `_LGPL_SOURCE` is not considered the typical scenario,
remove instructions to link with `-llttng-ust-common` throughout the
manual pages, except in synopses, to make such instructions more
readable/light.

vtracelog and vtracef were introduced between lttng-ust 2.12 and 2.13
(not released yet). They are replaced by lttng_ust_vtracelog and
lttng_ust_vtracef in the v1 API, newly introduced in lttng-ust 2.13.
Therefore, there is no need to expose a v0 compat API for the vtracelog
and vtracef macros which were never officially part of any release
other than the 2.13 release candidates.

Add serialized ABI definition files
This commit contains the serialized ABI definitions for a typical build
of the lttng-ust librairies. This information is extracted using
libabigail (https://sourceware.org/libabigail/).
The artefacts used to generate these were built with CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb"

You can compare the serialized ABI with a shared object to check for
changes. For example, here we compare an in-tree built version of
liblttng-ust.so with the serialized ABI of stable-2.13 :
