tracing: Avoid soft lockup in trace_pipe
running following commands:
# enable the binary option
echo 1 > ./options/bin
# disable context info option
echo 0 > ./options/context-info
# tracing only events
echo 1 > ./events/enable
cat trace_pipe
plus forcing system to generate many tracing events,
is causing lockup (in NON preemptive kernels) inside
tracing_read_pipe function.
The issue is also easily reproduced by running ltp stress test.
(ftrace_stress_test.sh)
The reasons are:
- bin/hex/raw output functions for events are set to
trace_nop_print function, which prints nothing and
returns TRACE_TYPE_HANDLED value
- LOST EVENT trace do not handle trace_seq overflow
These reasons force the while loop in tracing_read_pipe
function never to break.
The attached patch fixies handling of lost event trace, and
changes trace_nop_print to print minimal info, which is needed
for the correct tracing_read_pipe processing.
v2 changes:
- omit the cond_resched changes by trace_nop_print changes
- WARN changed to WARN_ONCE and added info to be able
to find out the culprit
v3 changes:
- make more accurate patch comment
