cb30bf881c tracing updates for v7.1:
- Fix printf format warning for bprintf
 
   sunrpc uses a trace_printk() that triggers a printf warning during the
   compile. Move the __printf() attribute around for when debugging is not
   enabled the warning will go away.
 
 - Remove redundant check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED in event_filter_write()
 
   The FREED flag is checked in the call to event_file_file() and then
   checked again right afterward, which is unneeded.
 
 - Clean up event_file_file() and event_file_data() helpers
 
   These helper functions played a different role in the past, but now with
   eventfs, the READ_ONCE() isn't needed. Simplify the code a bit and also
   add a warning to event_file_data() if the file or its data is not present.
 
 - Remove updating file->private_data in tracing open
 
   All access to the file private data is handled by the helper functions,
   which do not use file->private_data. Stop updating it on open.
 
 - Show ENUM names in function arguments via BTF in function tracing
 
   When showing the function arguments when func-args option is set for
   function tracing, if one of the arguments is found to be an enum, show the
   name of the enum instead of its number.
 
 - Add new trace_call__##name() API for tracepoints
 
   Tracepoints are enabled via static_branch() blocks, where when not
   enabled, there's only a nop that is in the code where the execution will
   just skip over it. When tracing is enabled, the nop is converted to a
   direct jump to the tracepoint code. Sometimes more calculations are
   required to be performed to update the parameters of the tracepoint. In
   this case, trace_##name##_enabled() is called which is a static_branch()
   that gets enabled only when the tracepoint is enabled. This allows the
   extra calculations to also be skipped by the nop:
 
   if (trace_foo_enabled()) {
       x = bar();
       trace_foo(x);
   }
 
   Where the x=bar() is only performed when foo is enabled. The problem with
   this approach is that there's now two static_branch() calls. One for
   checking if the tracepoint is enabled, and then again to know if the
   tracepoint should be called. The second one is redundant.
 
   Introduce trace_call__foo() that will call the foo() tracepoint directly
   without doing a static_branch():
 
   if (trace_foo_enabled()) {
       x = bar();
       trace_call__foo();
   }
 
 - Update various locations to use the new trace_call__##name() API
 
 - Move snapshot code out of trace.c
 
   Cleaning up trace.c to not be a "dump all", move the snapshot code out of
   it and into a new trace_snapshot.c file.
 
 - Clean up some "%*.s" to "%*s"
 
 - Allow boot kernel command line options to be called multiple times
 
   Have options like:
 
     ftrace_filter=foo ftrace_filter=bar ftrace_filter=zoo
 
   Equal to:
 
     ftrace_filter=foo,bar,zoo
 
 - Fix ipi_raise event CPU field to be a CPU field
 
   The ipi_raise target_cpus field is defined as a __bitmask(). There is now a
   __cpumask() field definition. Update the field to use that.
 
 - Have hist_field_name() use a snprintf() and not a series of strcat()
 
   It's safer to use snprintf() that a series of strcat().
 
 - Fix tracepoint regfunc balancing
 
   A tracepoint can define a "reg" and "unreg" function that gets called
   before the tracepoint is enabled, and after it is disabled respectively.
   But on error, after the "reg" func is called and the tracepoint is not
   enabled, the "unreg" function is not called to tear down what the "reg"
   function performed.
 
 - Fix output that shows what histograms are enabled
 
   Event variables are displayed incorrectly in the histogram output.
 
   Instead of "sched.sched_wakeup.$var", it is showing
   "$sched.sched_wakeup.var" where the '$' is in the incorrect location.
 
 - Some other simple cleanups.

93e8fd1a56 ftrace: Use kallsyms binary search for single-symbol lookup
When ftrace_lookup_symbols() is called with a single symbol (cnt == 1),
use kallsyms_lookup_name() for O(log N) binary search instead of the
full linear scan via kallsyms_on_each_symbol().

ftrace_lookup_symbols() was designed for batch resolution of many
symbols in a single pass.  For large cnt this is efficient: a single
O(N) walk over all symbols with O(log cnt) binary search into the
sorted input array.  But for cnt == 1 it still decompresses all ~200K
kernel symbols only to match one.

kallsyms_lookup_name() uses the sorted kallsyms index and needs only
~17 decompressions for a single lookup.

This is the common path for kprobe.session with exact function names,
where libbpf sends one symbol per BPF_LINK_CREATE syscall.

If binary lookup fails (duplicate symbol names where the first match
is not ftrace-instrumented), the function falls through to the existing
linear scan path.

Before (cnt=1, 50 kprobe.session programs):
  Attach: 858 ms  (kallsyms_expand_symbol 25% of CPU)

After:
  Attach:  52 ms  (16x faster)

842b74e5ce tracing: Append repeated boot-time tracing parameters
Some tracing boot parameters already accept delimited value lists, but
their __setup() handlers keep only the last instance seen at boot.
Make repeated instances append to the same boot-time buffer in the
format each parser already consumes.

Use a shared trace_append_boot_param() helper for the ftrace filters,
trace_options, and kprobe_event boot parameters.

This also lets Bootconfig array values work naturally when they expand
to repeated param=value entries.

Before this change, only the last instance from each repeated
parameter survived boot.

50b35c9e50 ftrace: Use hash argument for tmp_ops in update_ftrace_direct_mod
The modify logic registers temporary ftrace_ops object (tmp_ops) to trigger
the slow path for all direct callers to be able to safely modify attached
addresses.

At the moment we use ops->func_hash for tmp_ops filter, which represents all
the systems attachments. It's faster to use just the passed hash filter, which
contains only the modified sites and is always a subset of the ops->func_hash.

cc337974cd ftrace: Disable preemption in the tracepoint callbacks handling filtered pids
When function trace PID filtering is enabled, the function tracer will
attach a callback to the fork tracepoint as well as the exit tracepoint
that will add the forked child PID to the PID filtering list as well as
remove the PID that is exiting.

Commit a46023d561 ("tracing: Guard __DECLARE_TRACE() use of
__DO_TRACE_CALL() with SRCU-fast") removed the disabling of preemption
when calling tracepoint callbacks.

The callbacks used for the PID filtering accounting depended on preemption
being disabled, and now the trigger a "suspicious RCU usage" warning message.

Make them explicitly disable preemption.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

3c6e577d5a tracing updates for 7.0:
User visible changes:
 
 - Add an entry into MAINTAINERS file for RUST versions of code
 
   There's now RUST code for tracing and static branches. To differentiate
   that code from the C code, add entries in for the RUST version (with "[RUST]"
   around it) so that the right maintainers get notified on changes.
 
 - New bitmask-list option added to tracefs
 
   When this is set, bitmasks in trace event are not displayed as hex
   numbers, but instead as lists: e.g. 0-5,7,9 instead of 0000015f
 
 - New show_event_filters file in tracefs
 
   Instead of having to search all events/*/*/filter for any active filters
   enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_filters will list them
   so that there's only one file that needs to be examined to see if any
   filters are active.
 
 - New show_event_triggers file in tracefs
 
   Instead of having to search all events/*/*/trigger for any active triggers
   enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_triggers will list them
   so that there's only one file that needs to be examined to see if any
   triggers are active.
 
 - Have traceoff_on_warning disable trace pintk buffer too
 
   Recently recording of trace_printk() could go to other trace instances
   instead of the top level instance. But if traceoff_on_warning triggers, it
   doesn't stop the buffer with trace_printk() and that data can easily be
   lost by being overwritten. Have traceoff_on_warning also disable the
   instance that has trace_printk() being written to it.
 
 - Update the hist_debug file to show what function the field uses
 
   When CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled, a hist_debug file exists for
   every event. This displays the internal data of any histogram enabled for
   that event. But it is lacking the function that is called to process one
   of its fields. This is very useful information that was missing when
   debugging histograms.
 
 - Up the histogram stack size from 16 to 31
 
   Stack traces can be used as keys for event histograms. Currently the size
   of the stack that is stored is limited to just 16 entries. But the storage
   space in the histogram is 256 bytes, meaning that it can store up to 31
   entries (plus one for the count of entries). Instead of letting that space
   go to waste, up the limit from 16 to 31. This makes the keys much more
   useful.
 
 - Fix permissions of per CPU file buffer_size_kb
 
   The per CPU file of buffer_size_kb was incorrectly set to read only in a
   previous cleanup. It should be writable.
 
 - Reset "last_boot_info" if the persistent buffer is cleared
 
   The last_boot_info shows address information of a persistent ring buffer
   if it contains data from a previous boot. It is cleared when recording
   starts again, but it is not cleared when the buffer is reset. The data is
   useless after a reset so clear it on reset too.
 
 Internal changes:
 
 - A change was made to allow tracepoint callbacks to have preemption
   enabled, and instead be protected by SRCU. This required some updates to
   the callbacks for perf and BPF.
 
   perf needed to disable preemption directly in its callback because it
   expects preemption disabled in the later code.
 
   BPF needed to disable migration, as its code expects to run completely on
   the same CPU.
 
 - Have irq_work wake up other CPU if current CPU is "isolated"
 
   When there's a waiter waiting on ring buffer data and a new event happens,
   an irq work is triggered to wake up that waiter. This is noisy on isolated
   CPUs (running NO_HZ_FULL). Trigger an IPI to a house keeping CPU instead.
 
 - Use proper free of trigger_data instead of open coding it in.
 
 - Remove redundant call of event_trigger_reset_filter()
 
   It was called immediately in a function that was called right after it.
 
 - Workqueue cleanups
 
 - Report errors if tracing_update_buffers() were to fail.
 
 - Make the enum update workqueue generic for other parts of tracing
 
   On boot up, a work queue is created to convert enum names into their
   numbers in the trace event format files. This work queue can also be used
   for other aspects of tracing that takes some time and shouldn't be called
   by the init call code.
 
   The blk_trace initialization takes a bit of time. Have the initialization
   code moved to the new tracing generic work queue function.
 
 - Skip kprobe boot event creation call if there's no kprobes defined on cmdline
 
   The kprobe initialization to set up kprobes if they are defined on the
   cmdline requires taking the event_mutex lock. This can be held by other
   tracing code doing initialization for a long time. Since kprobes added to
   the kernel command line need to be setup immediately, as they may be
   tracing early initialization code, they cannot be postponed in a work
   queue and must be setup in the initcall code.
 
   If there's no kprobe on the kernel cmdline, there's no reason to take the
   mutex and slow down the boot up code waiting to get the lock only to find
   out there's nothing to do. Simply exit out early if there's no kprobes on
   the kernel cmdline.
 
   If there are kprobes on the cmdline, then someone cares more about tracing
   over the speed of boot up.
 
 - Clean up the trigger code a bit
 
 - Move code out of trace.c and into their own files
 
   trace.c is now over 11,000 lines of code and has become more difficult to
   maintain. Start splitting it up so that related code is in their own
   files.
 
   Move all the trace_printk() related code into trace_printk.c.
 
   Move the __always_inline stack functions into trace.h.
 
   Move the pid filtering code into a new trace_pid.c file.
 
 - Better define the max latency and snapshot code
 
   The latency tracers have a "max latency" buffer that is a copy of the main
   buffer and gets swapped with it when a new high latency is detected. This
   keeps the trace up to the highest latency around where this max_latency
   buffer is never written to. It is only used to save the last max latency
   trace.
 
   A while ago a snapshot feature was added to tracefs to allow user space to
   perform the same logic. It could also enable events to trigger a
   "snapshot" if one of their fields hit a new high. This was built on top of
   the latency max_latency buffer logic.
 
   Because snapshots came later, they were dependent on the latency tracers
   to be enabled. In reality, the latency tracers depend on the snapshot code
   and not the other way around. It was just that they came first.
 
   Restructure the code and the kconfigs to have the latency tracers depend
   on snapshot code instead. This actually simplifies the logic a bit and
   allows to disable more when the latency tracers are not defined and the
   snapshot code is.
 
 - Fix a "false sharing" in the hwlat tracer code
 
   The loop to search for latency in hardware was using a variable that could
   be changed by user space for each sample. If the user change this
   variable, it could cause a bus contention, and reading that variable can
   show up as a large latency in the trace causing a false positive. Read
   this variable at the start of the sample with a READ_ONCE() into a local
   variable and keep the code from sharing cache lines with readers.
 
 - Fix function graph tracer static branch optimization code
 
   When only one tracer is defined for function graph tracing, it uses a
   static branch to call that tracer directly. When another tracer is added,
   it goes into loop logic to call all the registered callbacks.
 
   The code was incorrect when going back to one tracer and never re-enabled
   the static branch again to do the optimization code.
 
 - And other small fixes and cleanups.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "User visible changes:

   - Add an entry into MAINTAINERS file for RUST versions of code

     There's now RUST code for tracing and static branches. To
     differentiate that code from the C code, add entries in for the
     RUST version (with "[RUST]" around it) so that the right
     maintainers get notified on changes.

   - New bitmask-list option added to tracefs

     When this is set, bitmasks in trace event are not displayed as hex
     numbers, but instead as lists: e.g. 0-5,7,9 instead of 0000015f

   - New show_event_filters file in tracefs

     Instead of having to search all events/*/*/filter for any active
     filters enabled in the trace instance, the file show_event_filters
     will list them so that there's only one file that needs to be
     examined to see if any filters are active.

   - New show_event_triggers file in tracefs

     Instead of having to search all events/*/*/trigger for any active
     triggers enabled in the trace instance, the file
     show_event_triggers will list them so that there's only one file
     that needs to be examined to see if any triggers are active.

   - Have traceoff_on_warning disable trace pintk buffer too

     Recently recording of trace_printk() could go to other trace
     instances instead of the top level instance. But if
     traceoff_on_warning triggers, it doesn't stop the buffer with
     trace_printk() and that data can easily be lost by being
     overwritten. Have traceoff_on_warning also disable the instance
     that has trace_printk() being written to it.

   - Update the hist_debug file to show what function the field uses

     When CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG is enabled, a hist_debug file
     exists for every event. This displays the internal data of any
     histogram enabled for that event. But it is lacking the function
     that is called to process one of its fields. This is very useful
     information that was missing when debugging histograms.

   - Up the histogram stack size from 16 to 31

     Stack traces can be used as keys for event histograms. Currently
     the size of the stack that is stored is limited to just 16 entries.
     But the storage space in the histogram is 256 bytes, meaning that
     it can store up to 31 entries (plus one for the count of entries).
     Instead of letting that space go to waste, up the limit from 16 to
     31. This makes the keys much more useful.

   - Fix permissions of per CPU file buffer_size_kb

     The per CPU file of buffer_size_kb was incorrectly set to read only
     in a previous cleanup. It should be writable.

   - Reset "last_boot_info" if the persistent buffer is cleared

     The last_boot_info shows address information of a persistent ring
     buffer if it contains data from a previous boot. It is cleared when
     recording starts again, but it is not cleared when the buffer is
     reset. The data is useless after a reset so clear it on reset too.

  Internal changes:

   - A change was made to allow tracepoint callbacks to have preemption
     enabled, and instead be protected by SRCU. This required some
     updates to the callbacks for perf and BPF.

     perf needed to disable preemption directly in its callback because
     it expects preemption disabled in the later code.

     BPF needed to disable migration, as its code expects to run
     completely on the same CPU.

   - Have irq_work wake up other CPU if current CPU is "isolated"

     When there's a waiter waiting on ring buffer data and a new event
     happens, an irq work is triggered to wake up that waiter. This is
     noisy on isolated CPUs (running NO_HZ_FULL). Trigger an IPI to a
     house keeping CPU instead.

   - Use proper free of trigger_data instead of open coding it in.

   - Remove redundant call of event_trigger_reset_filter()

     It was called immediately in a function that was called right after
     it.

   - Workqueue cleanups

   - Report errors if tracing_update_buffers() were to fail.

   - Make the enum update workqueue generic for other parts of tracing

     On boot up, a work queue is created to convert enum names into
     their numbers in the trace event format files. This work queue can
     also be used for other aspects of tracing that takes some time and
     shouldn't be called by the init call code.

     The blk_trace initialization takes a bit of time. Have the
     initialization code moved to the new tracing generic work queue
     function.

   - Skip kprobe boot event creation call if there's no kprobes defined
     on cmdline

     The kprobe initialization to set up kprobes if they are defined on
     the cmdline requires taking the event_mutex lock. This can be held
     by other tracing code doing initialization for a long time. Since
     kprobes added to the kernel command line need to be setup
     immediately, as they may be tracing early initialization code, they
     cannot be postponed in a work queue and must be setup in the
     initcall code.

     If there's no kprobe on the kernel cmdline, there's no reason to
     take the mutex and slow down the boot up code waiting to get the
     lock only to find out there's nothing to do. Simply exit out early
     if there's no kprobes on the kernel cmdline.

     If there are kprobes on the cmdline, then someone cares more about
     tracing over the speed of boot up.

   - Clean up the trigger code a bit

   - Move code out of trace.c and into their own files

     trace.c is now over 11,000 lines of code and has become more
     difficult to maintain. Start splitting it up so that related code
     is in their own files.

     Move all the trace_printk() related code into trace_printk.c.

     Move the __always_inline stack functions into trace.h.

     Move the pid filtering code into a new trace_pid.c file.

   - Better define the max latency and snapshot code

     The latency tracers have a "max latency" buffer that is a copy of
     the main buffer and gets swapped with it when a new high latency is
     detected. This keeps the trace up to the highest latency around
     where this max_latency buffer is never written to. It is only used
     to save the last max latency trace.

     A while ago a snapshot feature was added to tracefs to allow user
     space to perform the same logic. It could also enable events to
     trigger a "snapshot" if one of their fields hit a new high. This
     was built on top of the latency max_latency buffer logic.

     Because snapshots came later, they were dependent on the latency
     tracers to be enabled. In reality, the latency tracers depend on
     the snapshot code and not the other way around. It was just that
     they came first.

     Restructure the code and the kconfigs to have the latency tracers
     depend on snapshot code instead. This actually simplifies the logic
     a bit and allows to disable more when the latency tracers are not
     defined and the snapshot code is.

   - Fix a "false sharing" in the hwlat tracer code

     The loop to search for latency in hardware was using a variable
     that could be changed by user space for each sample. If the user
     change this variable, it could cause a bus contention, and reading
     that variable can show up as a large latency in the trace causing a
     false positive. Read this variable at the start of the sample with
     a READ_ONCE() into a local variable and keep the code from sharing
     cache lines with readers.

   - Fix function graph tracer static branch optimization code

     When only one tracer is defined for function graph tracing, it uses
     a static branch to call that tracer directly. When another tracer
     is added, it goes into loop logic to call all the registered
     callbacks.

     The code was incorrect when going back to one tracer and never
     re-enabled the static branch again to do the optimization code.

424f6a3610 bpf,x86: Use single ftrace_ops for direct calls
Using single ftrace_ops for direct calls update instead of allocating
ftrace_ops object for each trampoline.

With single ftrace_ops object we can use update_ftrace_direct_* api
that allows multiple ip sites updates on single ftrace_ops object.

Adding HAVE_SINGLE_FTRACE_DIRECT_OPS config option to be enabled on
each arch that supports this.

At the moment we can enable this only on x86 arch, because arm relies
on ftrace_ops object representing just single trampoline image (stored
in ftrace_ops::direct_call). Archs that do not support this will continue
to use *_ftrace_direct api.

8d2c1233f3 ftrace: Add update_ftrace_direct_del function
Adding update_ftrace_direct_del function that removes all entries
(ip -> addr) provided in hash argument to direct ftrace ops and
updates its attachments.

The difference to current unregister_ftrace_direct is
 - hash argument that allows to unregister multiple ip -> direct
   entries at once
 - we can call update_ftrace_direct_del multiple times on the
   same ftrace_ops object, becase we do not need to unregister
   all entries at once, we can do it gradualy with the help of
   ftrace_update_ops function

This change will allow us to have simple ftrace_ops for all bpf
direct interface users in following changes.

4be42c9222 ftrace,bpf: Remove FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP ftrace_ops flag
At the moment the we allow the jmp attach only for ftrace_ops that
has FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP set. This conflicts with following changes
where we use single ftrace_ops object for all direct call sites,
so all could be be attached via just call or jmp.

We already limit the jmp attach support with config option and bit
(LSB) set on the trampoline address. It turns out that's actually
enough to limit the jmp attach for architecture and only for chosen
addresses (with LSB bit set).

Each user of register_ftrace_direct or modify_ftrace_direct can set
the trampoline bit (LSB) to indicate it has to be attached by jmp.

The bpf trampoline generation code uses trampoline flags to generate
jmp-attach specific code and ftrace inner code uses the trampoline
bit (LSB) to handle return from jmp attachment, so there's no harm
to remove the FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP bit.

The fexit/fmodret performance stays the same (did not drop),
current code:

  fentry         :   77.904 ± 0.546M/s
  fexit          :   62.430 ± 0.554M/s
  fmodret        :   66.503 ± 0.902M/s

with this change:

  fentry         :   80.472 ± 0.061M/s
  fexit          :   63.995 ± 0.127M/s

be55257fab ftrace: Do not over-allocate ftrace memory
The pg_remaining calculation in ftrace_process_locs() assumes that
ENTRIES_PER_PAGE multiplied by 2^order equals the actual capacity of the
allocated page group. However, ENTRIES_PER_PAGE is PAGE_SIZE / ENTRY_SIZE
(integer division). When PAGE_SIZE is not a multiple of ENTRY_SIZE (e.g.
4096 / 24 = 170 with remainder 16), high-order allocations (like 256 pages)
have significantly more capacity than 256 * 170. This leads to pg_remaining
being underestimated, which in turn makes skip (derived from skipped -
pg_remaining) larger than expected, causing the WARN(skip != remaining)
to trigger.

Extra allocated pages for ftrace: 2 with 654 skipped
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7295 ftrace_process_locs+0x5bf/0x5e0

A similar problem in ftrace_allocate_records() can result in allocating
too many pages. This can trigger the second warning in
ftrace_process_locs().

Extra allocated pages for ftrace
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7276 ftrace_process_locs+0x548/0x580

Use the actual capacity of a page group to determine the number of pages
to allocate. Have ftrace_allocate_pages() return the number of allocated
pages to avoid having to calculate it. Use the actual page group capacity
when validating the number of unused pages due to skipped entries.
Drop the definition of ENTRIES_PER_PAGE since it is no longer used.

Linus Torvalds
69c5079b49 tracing updates for v6.19:
- Merge branch shared with kprobes on extending trace options
 
   The trace options were defined by a 32 bit variable. This limits the
   tracing instances to have a total of 32 different options. As that limit
   has been hit, and more options are being added, increase the option mask
   to a 64 bit number, doubling the number of options available.
 
   As this is required for the kprobe topic branches as well as the tracing
   topic branch, a separate branch was created and merged into both.
 
 - Make trace_user_fault_read() available for the rest of tracing
 
   The function trace_user_fault_read() is used by trace_marker file read to
   allow reading user space to be done fast and without locking or
   allocations. Make this available so that the system call trace events can
   use it too.
 
 - Have system call trace events read user space values
 
   Now that the system call trace events callbacks are called in a faultable
   context, take advantage of this and read the user space buffers for
   various system calls. For example, show the path name of the openat system
   call instead of just showing the pointer to that path name in user space.
   Also show the contents of the buffer of the write system call. Several
   system call trace events are updated to make tracing into a light weight
   strace tool for all applications in the system.
 
 - Update perf system call tracing to do the same
 
 - And a config and syscall_user_buf_size file to control the size of the buffer
 
   Limit the amount of data that can be read from user space. The default
   size is 63 bytes but that can be expanded to 165 bytes.
 
 - Allow the persistent ring buffer to print system calls normally
 
   The persistent ring buffer prints trace events by their type and ignores
   the print_fmt. This is because the print_fmt may change from kernel to
   kernel. As the system call output is fixed by the system call ABI itself,
   there's no reason to limit that. This makes reading the system call events
   in the persistent ring buffer much nicer and easier to understand.
 
 - Add options to show text offset to function profiler
 
   The function profiler that counts the number of times a function is hit
   currently lists all functions by its name and offset. But this becomes
   ambiguous when there are several functions with the same name. Add a
   tracing option that changes the output to be that of _text+offset
   instead. Now a user space tool can use this information to map the
   _text+offset to the unique function it is counting.
 
 - Report bad dynamic event command
 
   If a bad command is passed to the dynamic_events file, report it properly
   in the error log.
 
 - Clean up tracer options
 
   Clean up the tracer option code a bit, by removing some useless code and
   also using switch statements instead of a series of if statements.
 
 - Have tracing options be instance specific
 
   Tracers can have their own options (function tracer, irqsoff tracer,
   function graph tracer, etc). But now that the same tracer can be enabled
   in multiple trace instances, their options are still global. The API is
   per instance, thus changing one affects other instances. This isn't even
   consistent, as the option take affect differently depending on when an
   tracer started in an instance.  Make the options for instances only affect
   the instance it is changed under.
 
 - Optimize pid_list lock contention
 
   Whenever the pid_list is read, it uses a spin lock. This happens at every
   sched switch. Taking the lock at sched switch can be removed by instead
   using a seqlock counter.
 
 - Clean up the trace trigger structures
 
   The trigger code uses two different structures to implement a single
   tigger. This was due to trying to reuse code for the two different types
   of triggers (always on trigger, and count limited trigger). But by adding
   a single field to one structure, the other structure could be absorbed
   into the first structure making he code easier to understand.
 
 - Create a bulk garbage collector for trace triggers
 
   If user space has triggers for several hundreds of events and then removes
   them, it can take several seconds to complete. This is because each
   removal calls the slow tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() that can take
   hundreds of milliseconds to complete. Instead, create a helper thread that
   will do the clean up. When a trigger is removed, it will create the
   kthread if it isn't already created, and then add the trigger to a llist.
   The kthread will take the items off the llist, call
   tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(), and then remove the items it took
   off. It will then check if there's more items to free before sleeping.
 
   This makes user space removing all these triggers to finish in less than a
   second.
 
 - Allow function tracing of some of the tracing infrastructure code
 
   Because the tracing code can cause recursion issues if it is traced by the
   function tracer the entire tracing directory disables function tracing.
   But not all of tracing causes issues if it is traced. Namely, the event
   tracing code. Add a config that enables some of the tracing code to be
   traced to help in debugging it. Note, when this is enabled, it does add
   noise to general function tracing, especially if events are enabled as
   well (which is a common case).
 
 - Add boot-time backup instance for persistent buffer
 
   The persistent ring buffer is used mostly for kernel crash analysis in the
   field. One issue is that if there's a crash, the data in the persistent
   ring buffer must be read before tracing can begin using it. This slows
   down the boot process. Once tracing starts in the persistent ring buffer,
   the old data must be freed and the addresses no longer match and old
   events can't be in the buffer with new events.
 
   Create a way to create a backup buffer that copies the persistent ring
   buffer at boot up. Then after a crash, the always on tracer can begin
   immediately as well as the normal boot process while the crash analysis
   tooling uses the backup buffer. After the backup buffer is finished being
   read, it can be removed.
 
 - Enable function graph args and return address options at the same time
 
   Currently the when reading of arguments in the function graph tracer is
   enabled, the option to record the parent function in the entry event can
   not be enabled. Update the code so that it can.
 
 - Add new struct_offset() helper macro
 
   Add a new macro that takes a pointer to a structure and a name of one of
   its members and it will return the offset of that member. This allows the
   ring buffer code to simplify the following:
 
   From:  size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id));
     To:  size = struct_offset(entry, id) + cnt;
 
   There should be other simplifications that this macro can help out with as
   well.

25e4e3565d ftrace: Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP
For now, the "nop" will be replaced with a "call" instruction when a
function is hooked by the ftrace. However, sometimes the "call" can break
the RSB and introduce extra overhead. Therefore, introduce the flag
FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP, which indicate that the ftrace_ops should be called
with a "jmp" instead of "call". For now, it is only used by the direct
call case.

When a direct ftrace_ops is marked with FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP, the last bit of
the ops->direct_call will be set to 1. Therefore, we can tell if we should
use "jmp" for the callback in ftrace_call_replace().

instance that is also running the function graph tracer. This can lead to
confusing results.

1149fcf759 tracing: Add an option to show symbols in _text+offset for function profiler
Function profiler shows the hit count of each function using its symbol
name. However, there are some same-name local symbols, which we can not
distinguish.
To solve this issue, this introduces an option to show the symbols
in "_text+OFFSET" format. This can avoid exposing the random shift of
KASLR. The functions in modules are shown as "MODNAME+OFFSET" where the
offset is from ".text".

E.g. for the kernel text symbols, specify vmlinux and the output to
 addr2line, you can find the actual function and source info;

  $ addr2line -fie vmlinux _text+3078208
  __balance_callbacks
  kernel/sched/core.c:5064

for modules, specify the module file and .text+OFFSET;

  $ addr2line -fie samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.ko .text+8224
  do_simple_thread_func
  samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.c:23

3e9a18e1c3 ftrace: bpf: Fix IPMODIFY + DIRECT in modify_ftrace_direct()
ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() checks IPMODIFY and DIRECT ftrace_ops on
the same kernel function. When needed, ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable()
calls ops->ops_func() to prepare the direct ftrace (BPF trampoline) to
share the same function as the IPMODIFY ftrace (livepatch).

ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() is called in register_ftrace_direct() path,
but not called in modify_ftrace_direct() path. As a result, the following
operations will break livepatch:

1. Load livepatch to a kernel function;
2. Attach fentry program to the kernel function;
3. Attach fexit program to the kernel function.

After 3, the kernel function being used will not be the livepatched
version, but the original version.

Fix this by adding __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify() to
__modify_ftrace_direct() and adjust some logic around the call.

56b3c85e15 ftrace: Fix BPF fexit with livepatch
When livepatch is attached to the same function as bpf trampoline with
a fexit program, bpf trampoline code calls register_ftrace_direct()
twice. The first time will fail with -EAGAIN, and the second time it
will succeed. This requires register_ftrace_direct() to unregister
the address on the first attempt. Otherwise, the bpf trampoline cannot
attach. Here is an easy way to reproduce this issue:

  insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.ko
  bpftrace -e 'fexit:cmdline_proc_show {}'
  ERROR: Unable to attach probe: fexit:vmlinux:cmdline_proc_show...

Fix this by cleaning up the hash when register_ftrace_function_nolock hits
errors.

Also, move the code that resets ops->func and ops->trampoline to the error
path of register_ftrace_direct(); and add a helper function reset_direct()
in register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct().

4099b98203 ftrace: Fix softlockup in ftrace_module_enable
A soft lockup was observed when loading amdgpu module.
If a module has a lot of tracable functions, multiple calls
to kallsyms_lookup can spend too much time in RCU critical
section and with disabled preemption, causing kernel panic.
This is the same issue that was fixed in
commit d0b24b4e91 ("ftrace: Prevent RCU stall on PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
kernels") and commit 42ea22e754 ("ftrace: Add cond_resched() to

bfb336cf97 ftrace: Also allocate and copy hash for reading of filter files
Currently the reader of set_ftrace_filter and set_ftrace_notrace just adds
the pointer to the global tracer hash to its iterator. Unlike the writer
that allocates a copy of the hash, the reader keeps the pointer to the
filter hashes. This is problematic because this pointer is static across
function calls that release the locks that can update the global tracer
hashes. This can cause UAF and similar bugs.

Allocate and copy the hash for reading the filter files like it is done
for the writers. This not only fixes UAF bugs, but also makes the code a
bit simpler as it doesn't have to differentiate when to free the
iterator's hash between writers and readers.

4d6d0a6263 tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD
Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it
requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when
a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all
architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are
added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other
architectures can still function until they too have been updated.

The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where
applicable.

kernel: ftrace: export ftrace_sync_ipi
The following ftrace patch for riscv uses a data store to update ftrace
function. Therefore, a romote fence is required to order it against
function_trace_op updates. The mechanism is similar to the fence between
function_trace_op and update_ftrace_func in the generic ftrace, so we
leverage the same ftrace_sync_ipi function.

(2) insmod test.ko;
(3)  Module triggers ftrace disabled;
(4) rmmod test.ko;
(5) cat /proc/kallsyms; --> Will trigger UAF as test.ko already removed;
ftrace_mod_get_kallsym()
...
strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);
...

The problem is when a module triggers an issue with ftrace and
sets ftrace_disable. The ftrace_disable is set when an anomaly is
discovered and to prevent any more damage, ftrace stops all text
modification. The issue that happened was that the ftrace_disable stops
more than just the text modification.

When a module is loaded, its init functions can also be traced. Because
kallsyms deletes the init functions after a module has loaded, ftrace
saves them when the module is loaded and function tracing is enabled. This
allows the output of the function trace to show the init function names
instead of just their raw memory addresses.

When a module is removed, ftrace_release_mod() is called, and if
ftrace_disable is set, it just returns without doing anything more. The
problem here is that it leaves the mod_list still around and if kallsyms
is called, it will call into this code and access the module memory that
has already been freed as it will return:

  strscpy(module_name, mod_map->mod->name, MODULE_NAME_LEN);

Where the "mod" no longer exists and triggers a UAF bug.

The structure ftrace_func_mapper only contains a single field and that is
a ftrace_hash. It is used to abstract it out from a normal hash to control
users of how it gets modified.

The freeing of a ftrace_func_mapper structure is:

  free_ftrace_hash(&mapper->hash);

Without context, this looks like a bug. It should be commented that it is
not a bug and it is freed this way.

c45c585dde ftrace: Free ftrace hashes after they are replaced in the subops code
The subops processing creates new hashes when adding and removing subops.
There were some places that the old hashes that were replaced were not
freed and this caused some memory leaks.

08275e59a7 ftrace: Reinitialize hash to EMPTY_HASH after freeing
There's several locations that free a ftrace hash pointer but may be
referenced again. Reset them to EMPTY_HASH so that a u-a-f bug doesn't
happen.

31d1139956 ftrace: Initialize variables for ftrace_startup/shutdown_subops()
The reworking to fix and simplify the ftrace_startup_subops() and the
ftrace_shutdown_subops() made it possible for the filter_hash and
notrace_hash variables to be used uninitialized in a way that the compiler
did not catch it.

Initialize both filter_hash and notrace_hash to the EMPTY_HASH as that is
what they should be if they never are used.

0ae6b8ce20 ftrace: Fix accounting of subop hashes
The function graph infrastructure uses ftrace to hook to functions. It has
a single ftrace_ops to manage all the users of function graph. Each
individual user (tracing, bpf, fprobes, etc) has its own ftrace_ops to
track the functions it will have its callback called from. These
ftrace_ops are "subops" to the main ftrace_ops of the function graph
infrastructure.

Each ftrace_ops has a filter_hash and a notrace_hash that is defined as:

  Only trace functions that are in the filter_hash but not in the
  notrace_hash.

If the filter_hash is empty, it means to trace all functions.
If the notrace_hash is empty, it means do not disable any function.

The function graph main ftrace_ops needs to be a superset containing all
the functions to be traced by all the subops it has. The algorithm to
perform this merge was incorrect.

When the first subops was added to the main ops, it simply made the main
ops a copy of the subops (same filter_hash and notrace_hash).

When a second ops was added, it joined the new subops filter_hash with the
main ops filter_hash as a union of the two sets. The intersect between the
new subops notrace_hash and the main ops notrace_hash was created as the
new notrace_hash of the main ops.

The issue here is that it would then start tracing functions than no
subops were tracing. For example if you had two subops that had:

subops 1:

  filter_hash = '*sched*' # trace all functions with "sched" in it
  notrace_hash = '*time*' # except do not trace functions with "time"

subops 2:

  filter_hash = '*lock*' # trace all functions with "lock" in it
  notrace_hash = '*clock*' # except do not trace functions with "clock"

The intersect of '*time*' functions with '*clock*' functions could be the
empty set. That means the main ops will be tracing all functions with
'*time*' and all "*clock*" in it!

Instead, modify the algorithm to be a bit simpler and correct.

First, when adding a new subops, even if it's the first one, do not add
the notrace_hash if the filter_hash is not empty. Instead, just add the
functions that are in the filter_hash of the subops but not in the
notrace_hash of the subops into the main ops filter_hash. There's no
reason to add anything to the main ops notrace_hash.

The notrace_hash of the main ops should only be non empty iff all subops
filter_hashes are empty (meaning to trace all functions) and all subops
notrace_hashes include the same functions.

That is, the main ops notrace_hash is empty if any subops filter_hash is
non empty.

The main ops notrace_hash only has content in it if all subops
filter_hashes are empty, and the content are only functions that intersect
all the subops notrace_hashes. If any subops notrace_hash is empty, then
so is the main ops notrace_hash.

42ea22e754 ftrace: Add cond_resched() to ftrace_graph_set_hash()
When the kernel contains a large number of functions that can be traced,
the loop in ftrace_graph_set_hash() may take a lot of time to execute.
This may trigger the softlockup watchdog.

Add cond_resched() within the loop to allow the kernel to remain
responsive even when processing a large number of functions.

This matches the cond_resched() that is used in other locations of the
code that iterates over all functions that can be traced.
