[PATCH] tracing/snapshot: resize spare buffer if size changed

From: Eiichi Tsukata
Date: Mon Jun 24 2019 - 21:29:23 EST


Current snapshot implementation swaps two ring_buffers even though their
sizes are different from each other, that can cause an inconsistency
between the contents of buffer_size_kb file and the current buffer size.

For example:

# cat buffer_size_kb
7 (expanded: 1408)
# echo 1 > events/enable
# grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats
bytes: 1441020
# echo 1 > snapshot // current:1408, spare:1408
# echo 123 > buffer_size_kb // current:123, spare:1408
# echo 1 > snapshot // current:1408, spare:123
# grep bytes per_cpu/cpu0/stats
bytes: 1443700
# cat buffer_size_kb
123 // != current:1408

And also, a similar per-cpu case hits the following WARNING:

Reproducer:

# echo 1 > per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
# echo 123 > buffer_size_kb
# echo 1 > per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot

This patch adds resize_buffer_duplicate_size() to check if there is a
difference between current/spare buffer sizes and resize a spare buffer
if necessary.
