Analyzing system call failures with the function_graph tracer can be a time-consuming process, particularly when locating the kernel function that first returns an error in the trace logs. This change aims to simplify the process by recording the function return value to the 'retval' member of 'ftrace_graph_ent' and printing it when outputting the trace log. We have introduced new trace options: funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retval-hex. The former controls whether to display the return value, while the latter controls the display format. Please note that even if a function's return type is void, a return value will still be printed. You can simply ignore it. This patch only establishes the fundamental infrastructure. Subsequent patches will make this feature available on some commonly used processor architectures. Here is an example: I attempted to attach the demo process to a cpu cgroup, but it failed: echo `pidof demo` > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/tasks -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument The strace logs indicate that the write system call returned -EINVAL(-22): ... write(1, "273\n", 4) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument) ... To capture trace logs during a write system call, use the following commands: cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ echo 0 > tracing_on echo > trace echo *sys_write > set_graph_function echo *spin* > set_graph_notrace echo *rcu* >> set_graph_notrace echo *alloc* >> set_graph_notrace echo preempt* >> set_graph_notrace echo kfree* >> set_graph_notrace echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid echo function_graph > current_tracer echo 1 > options/funcgraph-retval echo 0 > options/funcgraph-retval-hex echo 1 > tracing_on echo `pidof demo` > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/tasks echo 0 > tracing_on cat trace > ~/trace.log To locate the root cause, search for error code -22 directly in the file trace.log and identify the first function that returned -22. Once you have identified this function, examine its code to determine the root cause. For example, in the trace log below, cpu_cgroup_can_attach returned -22 first, so we can focus our analysis on this function to identify the root cause. ... 1) | cgroup_migrate() { 1) 0.651 us | cgroup_migrate_add_task(); /* = 0xffff93fcfd346c00 */ 1) | cgroup_migrate_execute() { 1) | cpu_cgroup_can_attach() { 1) | cgroup_taskset_first() { 1) 0.732 us | cgroup_taskset_next(); /* = 0xffff93fc8fb20000 */ 1) 1.232 us | } /* cgroup_taskset_first = 0xffff93fc8fb20000 */ 1) 0.380 us | sched_rt_can_attach(); /* = 0x0 */ 1) 2.335 us | } /* cpu_cgroup_can_attach = -22 */ 1) 4.369 us | } /* cgroup_migrate_execute = -22 */ 1) 7.143 us | } /* cgroup_migrate = -22 */ ...
