Demo of using etm traces on arm for instructions and functions recording and reverse debugging

by Zied Guermazi

hi all, to demonstrate extending gdb to use etm traces for implementing btrace on arm processors, I have made this video available on youtube https://youtu.be/ptKbJRNUqUI users can then have access to process record and replay, on instructions and functions level (https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/Process-Record-and-Replay…) and reverse debugging(https://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/news/reversible.html) we have all functionalities available for intel PT except tracing multi-threaded applications. In this demo I have "reconstructed" the cspr register to enable setting breakpoints in reverse debugging. it is still dirty (adds arm specific register to an architecture agnostic structure) but it shows that it works when implemented properly Kind Regards Zied Guermazi

[PATCH v5 0/9] perf cs-etm: Support thread stack and callchain

by Leo Yan

This patch series adds support for thread stack and callchain; this patch set depends on the instruction sample fix patch set [1]. This patch set get more complex, so before divide into small groups, I'd like to use this patch set version to include all relevant patches, hope this can give whole context for related code change. Briefly, this patch can be divided into three parts, which also can be reviewed separately for every part: Patches 01, 02 are used to fix samples for one corner case is for accessing the branch's target address and trigger an exception. Essentially, an extra branch sample is added to reflect this mediate branch between the previous branch and exception entry. Patches 03, 04, 05, 06 are coming from patch v4, which are used to support thread stack and callchain. Patches 07, 08, 09 are used to fixup for exception entry and exit. This is mainly used to fix two cases, one part is to fixup the thread stack and callchain for the case when access branch target address and trigger exception; another part is to fixup the thread stack for instruction emulation (and other single step cases). This patch set has been tested on Juno-r2 after applied on perf/core branch with latest commit 85fc95d75970 ("perf maps: Add missing unlock to maps__insert() error case"), and this patch set is also applied on top of instruction sample fix patch set [1].

GDB: status of branch tracing on arm processors using coresight etm traces

by Zied Guermazi

hi all I am announcing updates in the implementation of branch tracing using coresight etm in GDB. in this update, functions and instruction history are running successfully on single threaded applications. reverse debugging is basically working with the limitation that sometimes cspr register (register 25) is required but current implementation does not provide it. the feature requires linux kernel v 4.19 or higher with manual etm sink setup. 5.9.1 or higher for automatic sink selection. GDB gdb.btrace test suite was adapted to run on arm processors. here is the summary of the gdb.btrace test results executed on an STM32MP157 (ARM cortex A7) with Linux kernel 5.9.1 === gdb Summary === # of expected passes 390 # of unexpected failures 119 # of unsupported tests 4 following tests are 100% successful: - buffer-size - enable - instruction_history - function_call_history - data - delta - cpu - gcore - record_goto-step - dlopen - vdso - segv GDB source code is available on https://github.com/gzied/binutils-gdb/tree/gdb_arm_coresight many thanks to GDB and linaro communities for their support Kind Regards Zied Guermazi

[PATCHv2 0/4] coresight: etf/etb10/etr: Fix NULL pointer dereference crashes

by Sai Prakash Ranjan

There was a report of NULL pointer dereference in ETF enable path for perf CS mode with PID monitoring. It is almost 100% reproducible when the process to monitor is something very active such as chrome and with ETF as the sink and not ETR. Currently in a bid to find the pid, the owner is dereferenced via task_pid_nr() call in tmc_enable_etf_sink_perf() and with owner being NULL, we get a NULL pointer dereference. Looking at the ETR and other places in the kernel, ETF and the ETB are the only places trying to dereference the task(owner) in tmc_enable_etf_sink_perf() which is also called from the sched_in path as in the call trace. Owner(task) is NULL even in the case of ETR in tmc_enable_etr_sink_perf(), but since we cache the PID in alloc_buffer() callback and it is done as part of etm_setup_aux() when allocating buffer for ETR sink, we never dereference this NULL pointer and we are safe. So lets do the same thing with ETF and ETB and cache the PID to which the cs_buffer belongs in alloc_buffer() callback for ETF and ETB as done for ETR. This will also remove the unnecessary function calls (task_pid_nr()) in tmc_enable_etr_sink_perf() and etb_enable_perf(). In addition to this, add a check to validate event->owner before dereferencing it in ETR, ETB and ETF to avoid any possible NULL pointer dereference crashes in their corresponding alloc_buffer callbacks and check for kernel events as well. Easily reproducible running below: perf record -e cs_etm/@tmc_etf0/ -N -p <pid> Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000548 Mem abort info: ESR = 0x96000006 EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits SET = 0, FnV = 0 EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 Data abort info: ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000006 CM = 0, WnR = 0 <snip>...

GDB: etm traces decoding and breakpoints for arm targets

by Zied Guermazi

hi, while testing the implementation in gdb of branch tracing on arm processors using etm, I faced the the situation where a breakpoint was set, was hit and then the execution of the program was continued. While decoding generated traces, I got the address of the breakpoint (0x400552) executed twice, and then the following address (0x400554) also executed twice. the instruction at (0x400554) is a BL ( a function call) and the second execution corrupts the function history. here is a dump of generated trace elements --------------------------------- trace_chan_id: 18 isa: CS_ETM_ISA_T32 start addr = 0x400552 end addr = 0x400554 instructions count = 1 last_i_type: OCSD_INSTR_OTHER last_i_subtype: OCSD_S_INSTR_NONE last instruction was executed last instruction size: 2 --------------------------------- trace_chan_id: 18 isa: CS_ETM_ISA_T32 start addr = 0x400552 end addr = 0x400554 instructions count = 1 last_i_type: OCSD_INSTR_OTHER last_i_subtype: OCSD_S_INSTR_NONE last instruction was executed last instruction size: 2 --------------------------------- trace_chan_id: 18 isa: CS_ETM_ISA_T32 start addr = 0x400554 end addr = 0x400558 instructions count = 1 last_i_type: OCSD_INSTR_BR last_i_subtype: OCSD_S_INSTR_BR_LINK last instruction was executed last instruction size: 4 --------------------------------- trace_chan_id: 18 isa: CS_ETM_ISA_T32 start addr = 0x400554 end addr = 0x400558 instructions count = 1 last_i_type: OCSD_INSTR_BR last_i_subtype: OCSD_S_INSTR_BR_LINK last instruction was executed last instruction size: 4 the explanation I have for this behavior is that : -when setting the software breakpoint, the memory content of the instruction (at 0x400552) was altered to the instruction BKPT, -when the breakpoint was hit, the original opcode was set at (0x400552) and a BKPT was set to the next instruction address (0x400554), then the execution was continued -when the second breakpoint (0x400554) was hit, the a BKPT opcode was set at (0x400552) and the original opcode was set at (0x400554) then the execution was continued I am using the function "int target_read_code (CORE_ADDR memaddr, gdb_byte *myaddr, ssize_t len)" to give program memory content to the decoder. so the collected etm traces are correct, but, as memory was altered in between, the decoder is "cheated". I need to identify the re-execution of code due to breakpoint handling, and roll back its impact on etm decoding. is there a mean to get the actual content of program memory including patched addresses? is there a means of getting the history of patched addresses during the debugging of a program? what is the type and subtype of a BKPT instruction in a decoded trace elements? do you have any other idea for handling this situation? I am attaching the source code of the program as well as the disassembled binary. the code was compiled as an application running on linux on an ARMv7 A (STM32MP157 SoC). the breakpoint was set at line 43 in the source code (line 238 in the disassembled code) Kind Regards Zied Guermazi
