7 years agoFix: race between lttng-ust getenv() and application setenv()
Mathieu Desnoyers [Fri, 10 Mar 2017 23:08:25 +0000 (18:08 -0500)] 
Fix: race between lttng-ust getenv() and application setenv()

The LTTng-UST listener threads invoke getenv(), which can cause issues
if the application issues setenv() concurrently. This is a legitimate
use by the application because it may have a single thread and not be
aware that it runs with liblttng-ust.

Fix this by keeping our own environment variable table for the variables
we care about. Initialize this table within the lttng-ust library
constructor, when we don't race with the application.

As this thread shows:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5069#c10

getenv() does _not_ appear to be thread-safe if an application uses
setenv() or putenv().

Philippe Proulx [Fri, 17 Feb 2017 09:14:40 +0000 (04:14 -0500)] 
Filtering: add support for star-only globbing patterns

This patch adds the support for "full" star-only globbing patterns to be
used in filter literal strings. A star-only globbing pattern is a
globbing pattern with the star (`*`) being the only special character.
This means `?` and character sets (`[abc-k]`) are not supported here. We
cannot support them without a strategy to differentiate the globbing
pattern because `?` and `[` are not special characters in filter literal
strings right now. The eventual strategy to support them would probably
look like this:

    filename =* "?sys*.[ch]"

The filter bytecode generator in LTTng-tools's session daemon creates
the new FILTER_OP_LOAD_STAR_GLOB_STRING operation when the interpreter
should load a star globbing pattern literal string. Even if both
"plain", or legacy strings and star globbing pattern strings are literal
strings, they do not represent the same thing, that is, the == and !=
operators act differently.

The validation process checks that:

1. There's no binary operator between two
   FILTER_OP_LOAD_STAR_GLOB_STRING operations. It is illegal to compare
   two star globbing patterns, as this is not trivial to implement, and
   completely useless as far as I know.

2. Only the == and != binary operators are allowed between a
   star globbing pattern and a string.

For the special case of star globbing patterns with a star at the end
only, the current behaviour is not changed to preserve a maximum of
backward compatibility. This is also why the UST ABI version is changed
from 7.1 to 7.2, not to 8.0.

== or != operations between REG_STRING and REG_STAR_GLOB_STRING
registers is specialized to FILTER_OP_EQ_STAR_GLOB_STRING and
FILTER_OP_NE_STAR_GLOB_STRING. Which side is the actual globbing pattern
(the one with the REG_STAR_GLOB_STRING type) is checked at execution
time. The strutils_star_glob_match() function is used to perform the
match operation. See the implementation for more details.

8 years agoAdd perf context support for ARMv7
Julien Desfossez [Mon, 27 Jun 2016 21:40:01 +0000 (17:40 -0400)] 
Add perf context support for ARMv7

Allow to add perf context to UST traces. ARMv7 does not have a reliable
way to read perf PMU counters entirely from user-space like we do on
x86, so this approach requires a system call every time a counter needs
to be read which has a significant performance impact.

ARMv7 does not have way to read PMU from userspace because it requires
write access to the debug coprocessor to select which PMU counter to
read which defeats user-space/kernel protection. For that reason, the
bits required to allow user-space access to those registers are not
enabled in the kernel and Perf does not expose any information in the
shared mmap page, so we do not know what is the counter index. Also, for
ARMv7 we cannot set the exclude_kernel flag, so the counter stays active
even when the process is executing in kernel context (system calls
mainly).

This generic approach might work on other architecture, but it has not
yet been tested so it is not enabled in the code.

generated, and these two are linked with the tracepoint provider shared
library.
