The scenario:
# Start an instrumented app
./app
gdb lttng-sessiond
# put a breakpoint on ustctl_set_filter
lttng create my_session
lttng enable-event -u tp:tp_test
lttng start
lttng enable-event -u __dummy --filter 'my_field == "user34"'
# The tracepoint should hit. Do not continue.
kill -s SIGSTOP $(pgrep app)
# Continue lttng-sessiond.
# enable-event will return an error. This a bug in itself, still let's
# continue with the current bug.
lttng stop
# Start a new app that will register.
./app &
sleep 1
lttng start
# lttng-sessiond should segfault.
Cause
=====
During the "lttng enable-event" command, the timeout error bubbles up
all the way to event_ust_enable_tracepoint and is different from
LTTNG_UST_ERR_EXIST. `trace_ust_destroy_event` is called and frees the
`uevent` object. Note that contrary to the comment `uevent` is added to
the channel event hash table at this point.
On the next `lttng start` command, the event node is still present in
the hash table and is iterated on. lttng-sessiond segfault on the first
data access of the previously freed memory.
The problem was introduced by commit 88e3c2f5610b9ac89b0923d448fee34140fc46fb [1]. Which essentially move the
callsite of `add_unique_ust_event` before `ust_app_*_event_glb` calls.
Solution
========
Go to `end` label to prevent freeing of the uevent object.
Note that app synchronization should not force an error at the channel
level, since a single app can fail but the whole channel should not.

Fix: userspace-probe: unreported error on string copy error
Issue
=====
String copy errors, either due to the length or an allocation failure,
are not reported by
lttng_userspace_probe_location_tracepoint_create_from_payload
and don't log a clear error message.
This allowed truncation bugs like the one fixed in b45a296 to go
unnoticed.
Fix
===
Return an "invalid" status code and log a more descriptive error
message.
Fix: userspace-probe: truncating binary path for SDT
Issue
=====
This issue was uncovered when we enabled the testing of the SDT
userspace probe instrumentation on the CI, where the paths to file are
specially long.
The important part to notice is that the path to the binary is truncated
compared to was is expected by the test case.
The problem is caused by the
`lttng_userspace_probe_location_tracepoint_create_from_payload()`
function that strdup() the path string using the wrong defined value.
Fix
===
Use LTTNG_PATH_MAX rather then LTTNG_SYMBOL_NAME_LEN to copy the binary
path.

This also happens for the track command. You can replace the `lttng
enable-event -u -a` with `lttng track --userspace --vuid=0` then launch
an app and the same backtrace gets generated.
Cause
=====
During `process_client_msg` the `create_ust_session` function is called
and a ust session is assigned to the "system_trace" session with a
state of `active` set to 0 (false). This is not a problem.
The problem seems to lie with a single call site for
`ust_app_global_update` in `update_ust_app`. The status of the ust
session is not checked before calling the `ust_app_global_update`. It is
important to note that all `ust_app_global_update_all` callsites guard
the call with a check against the status of the session.
Solution
========
Guard the call to `ust_app_global_update` with a check of the ust
session active state.
Known drawbacks

None.

After some digging, I found that this warning was caused by the padding
of the `struct lttng_session_list_schedules_return` during the
`LTTNG_SESSION_LIST_ROTATION_SCHEDULES` command.
All the fields are of the stack allocated struct are initialised by the
designated initializer but the padding is not.
These padding bytes are reported by Valgrind as being used
uninitialised.
Fix
===
Remove the padding by adding the LTTNG_PACKED attribute to the nested
structs in `struct lttng_session_list_schedules_return`.
Notes
=====
In light of the actual root cause, this is stacktrace is not really
useful.
The realloc call to grow the buffer makes it hard to find what is the
actual uninitialised stack allocation because Valgrind reports the
realloc call as the problematic site.
I was able to track this issue by adding a "consuming" step in the
`lttng_dynamic_buffer_append()` function. This consuming step would sum
all the bytes of the `buf` parameter so as to force Valgrind to check
each byte and not wait until the `sendmsg()` call. This way, I was able
to get a more precise location of the root cause of the issue.

cds_lfht_destroy is used from within RCU read-side critical sections
which is only allowed for urcu >= 0.10 (see userspace-rcu commit d0ec0ed2f).
Such uses were introduced as part of the 2.11 release (contemporary
to urcu 0.10).
This version of the fix differs from 879000628 since the configure
script has changed significantly for the 2.13 release (use of PKG_CONFIG
rather than looking for a version-specific symbol).
The configure script looks for `urcu_memb_barrier` which was introduced
in liburcu 0.11.
Fix: list_lttng_agent_events: unbalanced RCU read-side lock on error
The error label jumps to the end label which releases the RCU read-side
lock. There are many error paths in this function which goto error
without holding the RCU read-side lock, thus causing unbalanced RCU
read-side lock.
There is no point in keeping so short RCU read-side critical sections,
so cover the entire function with a single read-side critical section.
[ Applies to stable-2.12 and possibly prior versions. Does _not_ apply
to stable-2.13+. ]

Cause
=====
At the moment the viewer attach is done, no streams exist. On the
following viewer_get_new_streams (~30 seconds later), streams now exist
since they were allocated lazily following the first application
registration, but LTTNG_VIEWER_SEEK_LAST is used. This essentially
"discards" any events in the stream that happened between the attach
time and the viewer_get_new_stream execution.
Note that the same problem would happen if a new UID (in per-uid mode)
would happen to begin tracing in between viewer retry.
Solution
========
Always use `LTTNG_VIEWER_SEEK_BEGINNING` during
`viewer_get_new_streams`.
Known drawbacks
=========
This does not fix the per-pid problem where an app run and die in between
the viewer retries.
Fix: lttng-ctl: erroneous check if user is part of the tracing group
in_tgroup is set to `-1` whenever the current user is not part of the
tracing group _or_ if an error occurred while looking up if the user
is part of the tracing group. In other words, the value '0' is unused.
in_tgroup must be explicitly checked against '1' and can't be assumed
to behave as a boolean value.
This is _not_ a security issue: if the user is not part of the tracing
group, she will fail to open the root session damon's socket because
of the kernel-side permission checking. However, the behaviour of the
lttng client (and error reporting) will be confusing.
Fix: kernel consumer: get next subbuffer EAGAIN handling
The caller of get next subbuffer (data and metadata) callbacks only
expects -ENODATA when there is no data to read. However, the kernel
tracer distinguishes between no data for a finalized stream (-ENODATA)
and no data for a non-finalized stream (-EAGAIN).
Given that the consumer daemon uses the POLLHUP returned by epoll to
detect stream end of life, it does not care about the distinction
between -EAGAIN and -ENODATA when streaming.
However, taking a snapshot of a metadata stream uses the distinction
between nodata and again. Change this so it considers a return value of
0 from lttng_consumer_read_subbuffer to mean there is no more data to
read, so we can combine -EAGAIN and -ENODATA within get next subbuffer
callbacks and return -ENODATA for both.
Fix: kernel consumer: signal metadata ready condition variable
The behaviour of the kernel consumer does not match that of the user
space consumer. When a live metadata stream goes back to "sleep", it
must broadcast on the metadata_rdv to wake-up any thread that is
performing a metadata sync.
This mismatch causes a hang in the kernel consumer during the kernel
clear tests.
The check for the availability of the 'get_next_check_metadata'
operation attempts to use the operation at the creation of the metadata
stream. Most of the time this occurs before any metadata could be
generated.
However, the check will sometimes (very rarely) occur after the
generation of some metadata causing the 'get' to succeed and,
consequently, a subbuffer to be acquired. In those cases, the subbuffer
must be released immediately.
Fix: tests: health thread stall: only stop consumerd when required
Since a0f8e3109, stop_lttng_consumerd will report a failure when
there is no consumer daemon to kill. This fix ensures it is only
invoked for tests that launch a consumer daemon.

Fix: sessiond: session destroy hang in per-uid when context cannot be added
Observed issue
==============
The system_test CI jobs hang on the perf test suite during the destroy
command steps of the ust perf raw subtest.
Cause
=====
The system_test are running inside a kvm as root. It turns out that the
PMU (UNHALTED_REFERENCE_CYCLES) the test suite is trying to add is
unavailable on the qemu host.
ustctl_add_context return -1024 since it fails to add the context.
This leads us down the error path for the callstack leading to the
ustctl_add_context call.
1) `ust_app_channel_create` returns `ret` != 0;
2) `find_or_create_ust_app_channel` returns `ret != 0`;
3) `ust_app_synchronize` based on the `ret` value goes directly to the
end of the function to an error path without passing on the
`create_ust_app_metadata` function and clean-up structure related to
the app.
Note that being in per-uid mode, data and metadata
channel/streams/buffer allocation is done on the fly for the first app
during `ust_app_synchronize` and its callee. For the current problematic
scenario, only the data channels have been allocated on the consumer for
the uid at that point. The metadata for that uid is not yet created.
Now that we know more of what is going on during an ""add context""
let's take a look at the actual hang.
The client never complete the destroy command since the consumerd
indicates that the trace chunk for the session is not closed. The trace
chunk still exists despite the fact that a close chunk command has been
issued. This is the case since its refcount never reaches zero and thus
the release does not complete.
In a normal execution without the use of contexts, the release of the
trace hunk (refcount == 0) occurs during the final rotation on destroy.
Upon further comparison between a working execution and a non-working
execution, in a non-working execution the `cmd_rotate_session` does not
issue the rotation for the data channels since the loop detects that no
metadata is present. Which, as we discussed earlier, can happen if we
fail to add the context to the app channel.
if (!reg->registry->reg.ust->metadata_key) {
/* Skip since no metadata is present */
continue;
}
....
/* Rotate the data channels. */
cds_lfht_for_each_entry(reg->registry->channels->ht, &iter.iter,
reg_chan, node.node) {
ret = consumer_rotate_channel(socket,
reg_chan->consumer_key,
usess->uid, usess->gid,
usess->consumer,
/* is_metadata_channel */ false);
if (ret < 0) {
cmd_ret = LTTNG_ERR_ROTATION_FAIL_CONSUMER;
goto error;
}
}
....
}
```
Solution
========
Move the metadata check after the data channel rotation since it is
possible to have data channels but no metadata channel, although it is a
corner case.
Note that per-pid mode and kernel are not affected by the current bug
since a complete teardown of all objects is done. This only affect
per-uid due to the "on the fly" allocation nature of it since we need to
share the channel/stream/buffers across apps.

The sole caller of utils_partial_realpath, _utils_expand_path, passes
the same buffer (resolved_path) for the input and output. This causes
utils_partial_realpath to call strncpy with overlapping strings.
Fix it by making utils_partial_realpath allocate new memory for the
returned string itself. This causes one more allocation than the
current code, because we don't re-use the existing buffer, but this
should be fine since this isn't exactly performance-critical code.
I think the code is easier to follow as a result.

Fix: ust-consumer: metadata thread not woken-up after version change
Issue observed
==============
The metadata regeneration test fails, very rarely, in the "streaming"
case on the CI. The interesting part of the test boils down to:
1) start session
2) launch an app tracing one event
3) stop session
4) delete metadata file
5) start session
6) regenerate metadata
7) stop session
8) destroy session
9) read trace: babeltrace fails on an invalid metadata file.
The problem is hard to capture, but modifying the test allows us to see
that there appears to be a short window between steps 7 and 8 where the
metadata file is empty or doesn't exist.
Cause
=====
When metadata is regenerated, its version is bumped and the metadata
cache is "reset". In some cases, such as in this test, the new metadata
will have exactly the same size as it had prior as nothing happened to
change that (e.g. no new apps/probes were registered).
When this occurs, the metadata thread is not woken-up by
consumer_metadata_cache_write() as it sees that max_offset of the
metadata cache didn't change; the data was replaced but it has the same
size.
The metadata consumption thread also checks for version bumps and
resets the amount of consumed metadata. Hence, if the "cache write"
operation woke up the metadata consumption thread, the stream's
"ust metadata pushed" state would be reset and the new contents would
be consumed.
Solution
========
The metadata stream's "ust metadata pushed" position is directly reset
to zero when a metadata version change is detected by the metadata
cache. The metadata poll thread is also woken up to resume the
consumption of the newly-available data.
It is unclear why the change to the consumption position was only done
on the metadata consumption thread's code path and not directly by the
session daemon command handling.
Note that a session rotation will also result in a reset of the pushed
position and a wake-up of the metadata poll thread from the command
handling thread. I am speculating that this couldn't be done due to the
design of the locking at the time of the original
implementation (I haven't checked).
In implementing this change, the metadata reception code path is
untangled a bit to separate the logic that affects the metadata stream
from the logic that manages the metadata cache. I suspect the original
error stems from a mix-up/confusion between both concerns.
When a metadata version change happens, the metadata cache resets its
'max_offset' (in other words, it's current size) and notifies the
caller. The caller then resets the "ust pushed metadata" position to
zero and wakes-up the metadata thread to consume the new contents of the
metadata cache.
Clean-up: ust-consumer: simplify metadata cache unlock on error path
The metadata cache lock can be released directly after the call to
consumer_metadata_cache_write() since nothing depends on the cache
being locked after.
This simplifies the unlocking of the metadata cache by removing an
extra "unlock" that is specific to an error path.

init_kernel_tracer is used from main() after other threads are created,
and also from process_client_msg() when a user attempts to interact with
the kernel domain if the kernel tracer has not yet been successfully
initialized.
Fix: liblttng-ctl: unreported truncations when copying strings
gcc 10.2 reports a large number of string truncation warning in
liblttng-ctl. Replace the uses of lttng_ctl_copy_string() util by
lttng_strncpy() (handling the null source case when applicable) and
report the truncations when they occur.
Example gcc warning:
lttng-ctl.c:86:3: warning: ‘strncpy’ output may be truncated copying 254 bytes from a string of length 254 [-Wstringop-truncation]
The newly-released autoconf 2.70 introduces a number of breaking
changes [1] and is being rolled-out by some distros.
Amongst those changes, the AC_PROG_CC_STDC macro is marked as obsolete
and was merged into AC_PROG_CC, which we already use. On 2.70, this
results in a warning which we handle as an error.
A version check is added to invoke the AC_PROG_CC_STDC macro only when
running a pre-2.70 version of autoconf, fixing the issue.
A single use of the AC_HELP_STRING macro is replaced by AS_HELP_STRING
as the former was marked as obsolete.
The AC_PROG_LEX now takes an argument, and the argument-less version is
marked as obsolete. The macro is invoked with the `noyywrap` option, as
recommended in the documentation.
Also, the AX_PTHREAD macro makes use of the $as_echo built-in shell
variable which no longer exists in 2.70. A patch was submitted to the
GNU Autoconf archive in March, but there have been no signs of life
given since then [2].
As such, our local copy is updated to the latest version and the patch
(which looks fairly straight-forward / safe) is applied. This should
minimize changes once we go back to an "official" version of the macro.
Fix: sessiond: metadata not created on app unregistration during start
Issue observed
==============
A test for an incoming feature (trigger actions on on-event conditions)
hangs. While this problem was discovered using this test, it exercises a
scenario that is problematic as of this fix.
The destruction of a session can hang if a single application being
traced unregisters (dies) during the 'start' of a session.
Cause
=====
When a per-uid session is started, its buffers (channels and streams)
are allocated only if an instrumented application is registered to the
session daemon at that moment.
For historical reasons, the 'data' and 'metadata' buffers are allocated
in separate code paths. The 'data' buffers are allocated in
ust_app_synchronize() and the 'metadata' buffers are allocated in
ust_app_start_trace(). Both functions perform their own look-up for an
application session and will gracefully fail if an application session
can't be found; it typically means the application has exited.
This leaves a race window open where ust_app_synchronize() can succeed
in looking-up the application session, and ust_app_start_trace() can
fail following the death of the application.
When this occurs, the session is left with 'data' buffers allocated and
unallocated ''metadata' buffers. This is an unexpected state and results
in the rotation code attempting to rotate a partially initialized
metadata stream.
The rotation of this partially initialized metadata stream never
completes which, in turn, never allows the session to complete its
implicit rotation on destruction.
This race window is fairly narrow, but can be reproduced by sleep()-ing
at the beginning of ust_app_start_trace() and killing an application
that is being traced during the sleep period.
Solution
========
The creation of the metadata channel is performed as part of
ust_app_synchronize() if the application look-up succeeds. When it
fails, both 'data' and 'metadata' streams will fail to be created
resulting in an expected and valid state.
Cleanup: use `modprobe --remove` rather than `rmmod`
Background
==========
According to the rmmod(8) man page:
rmmod is a trivial program to remove a module (when module unloading
support is provided) from the kernel. Most users will want to use
modprobe(8) with the -r option instead.
`rmmod` simply unloads the provided module and decrements the refcount
of the modules it depended on but doesn't unload those dependencies if
their refcount is zero.
Issue
=====
With the following scenario we can end up if modules with a zero
refcount still loaded in the kernel:
modprobe lttng-test
lttng-sessiond
... (test case) ...
ctrl+c sessiond
rmmod lttng-test
When we teardown the lttng-sessiond, some modules are kept in the kernel
because the `lttng-test` module depends on them. So unloading
`lttng-test` using `rmmod` keeps those dependencies in the kernel.
Solution
========
Use `modprobe --remove` to unload modules and their now unused
dependencies.
From the modprobe(8) man page:
-r, --remove
This option causes modprobe to remove rather than insert a module.
If the modules it depends on are also unused, modprobe will try to
remove them too. Unlike insertion, more than one module can be
specified on the command line
Note
====
This commit also replaces existing uses of `modprobe -r` to `modprobe
--remove` for consistency.

This is can be problematic for the `test_kernel`

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.

Fix: consumer: dangling chunk on buffer allocation failure
Observed issue
==============
Using docker the /dev/shm mount size is 64 MB by default. On system
with many threads (256), combined with the default subbuffer count and

the /dev/shm mountpoint is too small.
When a user try to destroy the problematic session, the destroy

lttng-sessiond should output:
Error: ask_channel_creation consumer command failed
Error: Error creating UST channel "test" on the consumer daemon
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.

essentially:
- Setups a user space session
- Enables events
- Traces an application
- Stops tracing
- Validates the trace

- Starts tracing
- Regenerates the metadata
- Stops the session
- Validates the trace
The last trace validation step fails on an empty file (locally) or
a garbled file (remote).

test much. They verify that the command works (returns 0) but do not

Date: Sun May 10 18:00:26 2020 -0400
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.

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: consumerd: live client receives incomplete metadata
Observed issue
==============
Babeltrace 1.5.x and Babeltrace 2.x can both report errors (albeit
differently) when using the "lttng-live" protocol that imply that the
metadata they received is incomplete.
For instance, babeltrace 1.5.3 reports the following error:
```
[error] Error creating AST
[error] [Context] Cannot open_mmap_trace of format ctf.
[error] Error adding trace
[warning] [Context] Cannot open_trace of format lttng-live at path net://localhost:xxxx/host/session/live_session.
[warning] [Context] cannot open trace "net://localhost:xxxx/host/session/live_session" for reading.
[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:
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.
consumerd: refactor: split read_subbuf into sub-operations
The read_subbuf code paths intertwine domain-specific operations and
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.
consumerd: pass channel instance to stream creation function
Both callsites of consumer_allocate_stream() set the stream's "chan"
pointer after the creation. Pass the channel directly to the stream
creation function so it can initialize the stream according to the
channel's settings.
consumerd: move address computation from on_read_subbuffer_mmap
The computation of the subbuffer's address is moved outside of
lttng_consumer_on_read_subbuffer_mmap to make it usable with a regular
buffer. This facilitates an upcoming change.
Moreover this has the benefit of isolating domain-specific logic from
this function which is supposed to be domain-agnostic.
Add a wrapper for RING_RING_BUFFER_GET_NEXT_SUBBUF_METADATA_CHECK
which gets the next metadata subbuffer and returns a boolean flag
indicating whether the metadata is guaranteed to be in a consistent
state at the end of this sub-buffer (can be parsed).

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
=========
None.

Fix this warning by using the RANDOM_STRING_LEN value as the max number

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.

Fix: lttng-destroy: missing newline on session destruction message
The lost packets/discarded events statistics are printed on the same
line as the session destruction progress message when the session is
stopped as part of the `destroy` command.
This is a consequence of printing the statistics as they are
retrieved; the statistics must be fetched before the destruction,
but the progress indicator is still being printed.
The statistics output is now formatted to a buffer and printed
after the session's destruction has completed.

Fix: lttng-list: don't warn when the kernel domain has no channels
Some commands beside lttng-enable-channel have the side-effect of
creating a domain. For instance, the lttng-track and lttng-untrack
commands will implicitly create their target domains if they don't
exist. Thus, it is not unexpected for a domain to exist without
channels.
Currently, tracking process attributes in the user space and kernel
domains will result in a warning being printed when lttng-status
(or lttng-list `the_session`) is invoked.
Example output:
Tracing session arielle_bolduc: [inactive]
Trace output: /home/jgalar/lttng-traces/arielle_bolduc-20200323-191128
=== Domain: Linux kernel ===
Tracked process attributes
Process IDs: all
Virtual Process IDs: 12365, 526, 41
User IDs: all
Virtual User IDs: all
Group IDs: all
Virtual Group IDs: all
Warning: No kernel channel
=== Domain: User space ===
Buffering scheme: per-user
Tracked process attributes
Virtual Process IDs: 12365, 526, 41
Virtual User IDs: all
Virtual Group IDs: all
The warning is removed since it can only confuse users.
Fix: sessiond: occasional badfd error on repeated SIGTERM
The session daemon occasionally prints the following messages
when it received multiple SIGTERM signals:
PERROR - 16:50:18.505585257 [49845/49845]: write poll pipe: Bad file
descriptor (in notify_thread_pipe() at utils.c:35)
This is caused by a (somewhat inevitable) race between the teardown of
the daemon and the closing of its quit pipe. This happens more often
when kernel modules take a long time to be unloaded and the user
spams ctrl+c in the hope of convincing the daemon process to close
faster since modules are unloaded after closing the quit pipe.
Setting closed pipe fds to '-1' is safe anyway and is already
handled by the notify_thread_pipe() util.
Fix: lttng: incorrect domain list printed when no domain is provided
The following commands make use of a common utility function to
validate the count of domains specified and print an error when it
is invalid:
- lttng-enable-event,
- lttng-disable-event,
- lttng-track,
- lttng-untrack,
- lttng-add-context,
- lttng-enable-channel,
- lttng-disable-channel.
Those commands do not allow the same domains to be used. In fact, they
all expect --kernel or --userspace only, except for the
lttng-enable-event, lttng-disable-event, and lttng-add-context
commands which allow the --log4j, --jul, and --python domain options
to be used.
Currently, the error message when no domain is specified is incorrect
for all of those commands. The error reads as follows:
`Error: Please specify a domain (-k/-u/-j).`
For most commands, the -j option cannot be used. For those that allow
agent domains, the message is missing the -l and -p domains.
This ensures that the expected domains are printed for each of those
commands.
Moreover, the message is clarified by using the long form option
names.
