55a0005518 tracing: Fix desc in error path for the trace remote test module
During initialisation in remote_test_load(), if one of the
simple_ring_buffer fails to initialise, the error path attempts to
rollback initialised buffers. However, the rollback incorrectly uses the
global pointer to the trace descriptor, which is only set upon
successful load completion. Fix the error path by using the local
pointer to the descriptor.

657b594b20 fprobe: Fix unregister_fprobe() to wait for RCU grace period
Commit 4346ba1604 ("fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracer")
changed fprobe to register struct fprobe to an rcu-hlist, but it forgot
to wait for RCU GP. Thus there can be use-after-free if the fprobe is
released right after unregistering. This can be happened on fprobe
event and sample module code.

To fix this issue, add synchronize_rcu() in unregister_fprobe().

Note that BPF is OK because fprobe is used as a part of
bpf_kprobe_multi_link. This unregisters its fprobe in
bpf_kprobe_multi_link_release() and it is deallocated via
bpf_kprobe_multi_link_dealloc(), which is invoked from
bpf_link_defer_dealloc_rcu_gp() RCU callback.

For BPF, this also introduced unregister_fprobe_async() which does
NOT wait for RCU grace priod.

b2aa3b4d64 tracing/probes: Limit size of event probe to 3K
There currently isn't a max limit an event probe can be. One could make an
event greater than PAGE_SIZE, which makes the event useless because if
it's bigger than the max event that can be recorded into the ring buffer,
then it will never be recorded.

A event probe should never need to be greater than 3K, so make that the
max size. As long as the max is less than the max that can be recorded
onto the ring buffer, it should be fine.

3b75dd76e6 tracing: branch: Fix inverted check on stat tracer registration
init_annotated_branch_stats() and all_annotated_branch_stats() check the
return value of register_stat_tracer() with "if (!ret)", but
register_stat_tracer() returns 0 on success and a negative errno on
failure. The inverted check causes the warning to be printed on every
successful registration, e.g.:

  Warning: could not register annotated branches stats

while leaving real failures silent. The initcall also returned a
hard-coded 1 instead of the actual error.

Invert the check and propagate ret so that the warning fires on real
errors and the initcall reports the correct status.

   The number of events is also read during boot up and displayed in the

bpf: Add sleepable support for classic tracepoint programs
Add trace_call_bpf_faultable(), a variant of trace_call_bpf() for
faultable tracepoints that supports sleepable BPF programs. It uses
rcu_tasks_trace for lifetime protection and
bpf_prog_run_array_sleepable() for per-program RCU flavor selection,
following the uprobe_prog_run() pattern.

Restructure perf_syscall_enter() and perf_syscall_exit() to run BPF
programs before perf event processing. Previously, BPF ran after the
per-cpu perf trace buffer was allocated under preempt_disable,
requiring cleanup via perf_swevent_put_recursion_context() on filter.
Now BPF runs in faultable context before preempt_disable, reading
syscall arguments from local variables instead of the per-cpu trace
record, removing the dependency on buffer allocation. This allows
sleepable BPF programs to execute and avoids unnecessary buffer
allocation when BPF filters the event. The perf event submission
path (buffer allocation, fill, submit) remains under preempt_disable
as before. Since BPF no longer runs within the buffer allocation
context, the fake_regs output parameter to perf_trace_buf_alloc()
is no longer needed and is replaced with NULL.

Add an attach-time check in __perf_event_set_bpf_prog() to reject
sleepable BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT programs on non-syscall
tracepoints, since only syscall tracepoints run in faultable context.

This prepares the classic tracepoint runtime and attach paths for
sleepable programs. The verifier changes to allow loading sleepable
BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT programs are in a subsequent patch.

bpf: Add sleepable support for raw tracepoint programs
Rework __bpf_trace_run() to support sleepable BPF programs by using
explicit RCU flavor selection, following the uprobe_prog_run() pattern.

For sleepable programs, use rcu_read_lock_tasks_trace() for lifetime
protection with migrate_disable(). For non-sleepable programs, use the
regular rcu_read_lock_dont_migrate().

Remove the preempt_disable_notrace/preempt_enable_notrace pair from
the faultable tracepoint BPF probe wrapper in bpf_probe.h, since
migration protection and RCU locking are now handled per-program
inside __bpf_trace_run().

Adapt bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp() for sleepable programs: reject
BPF_F_TEST_RUN_ON_CPU since sleepable programs cannot run in hardirq
or preempt-disabled context, and call __bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp()
directly instead of via smp_call_function_single(). Rework
__bpf_prog_test_run_raw_tp() to select RCU flavor per-program and
add per-program recursion context guard for private stack safety.

476c5bbae6 tracing/fprobe: Fix to unregister ftrace_ops if it is empty on module unloading
Fix fprobe to unregister ftrace_ops if corresponding type of fprobe
does not exist on the fprobe_ip_table and it is expected to be empty
when unloading modules.

Since ftrace thinks that the empty hash means everything to be traced,
if we set fprobes only on the unloaded module, all functions are traced
unexpectedly after unloading module.
e.g.

 # modprobe xt_LOG.ko
 # echo 'f:test log_tg*' > dynamic_events
 # echo 1 > events/fprobes/test/enable
 # cat enabled_functions
log_tg [xt_LOG] (1)             tramp: 0xffffffffa0004000 (fprobe_ftrace_entry+0x0/0x490) ->fprobe_ftrace_entry+0x0/0x490

0ac0058a74 tracing/fprobe: Check the same type fprobe on table as the unregistered one
Commit 2c67dc457b ("tracing: fprobe: optimization for entry only case")
introduced a different ftrace_ops for entry-only fprobes.

However, when unregistering an fprobe, the kernel only checks if another
fprobe exists at the same address, without checking which type of fprobe
it is.
If different fprobes are registered at the same address, the same address
will be registered in both fgraph_ops and ftrace_ops, but only one of
them will be deleted when unregistering. (the one removed first will not
be deleted from the ops).

This results in junk entries remaining in either fgraph_ops or ftrace_ops.
For example:
 =======
 cd /sys/kernel/tracing

 # 'Add entry and exit events on the same place'
 echo 'f:event1 vfs_read' >> dynamic_events
 echo 'f:event2 vfs_read%return' >> dynamic_events

 # 'Enable both of them'
 echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable
 cat enabled_functions
vfs_read (2)            ->arch_ftrace_ops_list_func+0x0/0x210

 # 'Disable and remove exit event'
 echo 0 > events/fprobes/event2/enable
 echo -:event2 >> dynamic_events

 # 'Disable and remove all events'
 echo 0 > events/fprobes/enable
 echo > dynamic_events

 # 'Add another event'
 echo 'f:event3 vfs_open%return' > dynamic_events
 cat dynamic_events
f:fprobes/event3 vfs_open%return

 echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable
 cat enabled_functions
vfs_open (1)            tramp: 0xffffffffa0001000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60    subops: {ent:fprobe_fgraph_entry+0x0/0x620 ret:fprobe_return+0x0/0x150}
vfs_read (1)            tramp: 0xffffffffa0001000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) ->ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60    subops: {ent:fprobe_fgraph_entry+0x0/0x620 ret:fprobe_return+0x0/0x150}
 =======

As you can see, an entry for the vfs_read remains.

To fix this issue, when unregistering, the kernel should also check if
there is the same type of fprobes still exist at the same address, and
if not, delete its entry from either fgraph_ops or ftrace_ops.

b4e07588e7 tracing: tell git to ignore the generated 'undefsyms_base.c' file
This odd file was added to automatically figure out tool-generated
symbols.

Honestly, it *should* have been just a real honest-to-goodness regular
file in git, instead of having strange code to generate it in the
Makefile, but that is not how that silly thing works.  So now we need to
ignore it explicitly.

bpf: Refactor dynptr mutability tracking
Redefine dynptr mutability and fix inconsistency in the verifier and
kfunc signatures. Dynptr mutability is at two levels. The first is
the bpf_dynptr structure and the second is the memory the dynptr points
to. The verifer currently tracks the mutability of the bpf_dynptr struct
through helper and kfunc prototypes, where "const struct bpf_dynptr *"
means the structure itself is immutable. The second level is tracked
in upper bit of bpf_dynptr->size in runtime and is not changed in this
patch.

There are two type of inconsistency in the verfier regarding the
mutability of the bpf_dynptr struct. First, there are many existing
kfuncs whose prototypes are wrong. For example, bpf_dynptr_adjust()
mutates a dynptr's start and offset but marks the argument as a const
pointer. At the same time many other kfuncs that does not mutate the
dynptr but mark themselves as mutable. Second, the verifier currently
does not honor the const qualifier in kfunc prototypes as it determines
whether tagging the arg_type with MEM_RDONLY or not based on the register
state.

Since all the verifier care is to prevent CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR from
being destroyed in callback and global subprogram, redefine the
mutability at the bpf_dynptr level to just bpf_dynptr_kern->data. Then,
explicitly prohibit passing CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR to an argument tagged
with MEM_UNINIT or OBJ_RELEASE. The mutability of a dynptr's view is not
really interesting so drop MEM_RDONLY annotation for dynptr from the
helpers and kfuncs. Plus, if the mutability of the entire bpf_dynptr
were to be done correctly, it would kill the bpf_dynptr_adjust() usage
in callback and global subporgram.

Implementation wise

- First, make sure all kfunc arg are correctly tagged: Tag the dynptr
  argument of bpf_dynptr_file_discard() with OBJ_RELEASE.
- Then, in process_dynptr_func(), make sure CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR cannot
  be passed to argument tagged with MEM_UNINIT or OBJ_RELEASE. For
  MEM_UNINIT, it is already checked by is_dynptr_reg_valid_uninit().
  For OBJ_RELEASE, check against OBJ_RELEASE instead of MEM_RDONLY and
  drop a now identical check in unmark_stack_slots_dynptr().
- Remove the mutual exclusive check between MEM_UNINIT and MEM_RDONLY,
  but don't add a MEM_UNINIT and OBJ_RELEASE version as it is obviously
  wrong.

Note that while this patch stops following the C semantic for the
mutability of bpf_dynptr, the prototype of kfuncs are still fixed to
maintain the correct C semantics in the implementation. Adding or
removing the const qualifier does not break backward compatibility.
In addition, fix kfuncs dropping the const qualifier when casting the
opaque bpf_dynptr to bpf_dynptr_kern.

In test_kfunc_dynptr_param.c, initialize dynptr to 0 to avoid
-Wuninitialized-const-pointer warning.

- Add TIMERLAT_ALIGN osnoise option
 
   Add a timer alignment option for timerlat that makes it work like the
   cyclictest -A option. timelat creates threads to test the latency of the
   kernel. The alignment option will have these threads trigger at the
   alignment offsets from each other. Instead of having each thread wake up
   at the exact same time, if the alignment is set to "20" each thread will

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.

01f492e181 Arm:
- Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code, which
   should help both debugging and performance analysis.  This uses the
   new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be exposed
   by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came through the
   tracing tree.
 
 - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the starting
   point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM.
 
 - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are unmapped
   from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can be shared back
   from the guest using pKVM hypercalls.  Protected guests are created
   using a new machine type identifier.  As the elusive guestmem has not
   yet delivered on its promises, anonymous memory is also supported.
 
   This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
   example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet isolated.
   Because this does not really yet bring fully what it promises, it is
   hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST + 'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and
   also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is created.  Caveat emptor.
 
 - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
   maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
   various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state immutable.
 
 - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page tables
   on a per-VM basis.
 
 - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to follow.
 
 - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
   generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
   to very bad HW lockups.
 
 - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error cases.
 
 - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
   SMCCC calls.
 
 - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn.
 
 LoongArch:
 
 - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel().
 
 - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support.
 
 RISC-V:
 
 - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks
 
 - Fix vector context allocation leak
 
 - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()
 
 - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()
 
 - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()
 
 - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()
 
 - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging
 
 - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging
 
 - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core
 
 - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests
 
 - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources
 
 - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config
 
 - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources
 
 - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space
 
 s390:
 
 - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors.
 
 - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed anymore with
   the new gmap code.
 
 - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking event
   address register).
 
 x86:
 
 - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before they
   were initialized.
 
 - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting hugepages in
   the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in the page table and
   thus write all bytes.
 
 - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings if the
   target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage.
 
 x86 generic:
 
 - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more precisely
   struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack bugs where KVM
   would dereference stack pointer after an exit to userspace.
 
 - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it easier to
   maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier").
 
 - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of VMX
   and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O.
 
 - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions
 
 - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one of
   KVM's headers that is included multiple times.
 
 - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
   exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
   trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
   unintentionally crashing the VM.
 
 - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec.
 
 - Misc hardening and cleanup changes.
 
 x86 (AMD):
 
 - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it per-vCPU
   so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
   vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs.
 
 - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which KVM would
   overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple CPUs in parallel.
   This should not be a problem because OSVW should usually be the same for
   all CPUs.
 
 - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains about a
   "too large" size based purely on user input.
 
 - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION.
 
 - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted vCPU, as
   doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an RMP violation
   page fault.
 
 - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped queries
   are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep.  Fix various
   bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for the whole
   duration of a function or ioctl.
 
 - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard().
 
 - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD,
   for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6 as a response to ioctls such as
   KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the payload would end up in EXITINFO2
   rather than CR2, for example).  Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of
   the payload is imminent, but on the other hand force delivery of the
   payload in all paths where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6.
 
 - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT instead
   of vmcb02->save.cr2.  The value is out of sync after a save/restore
   or after a #PF is injected into L2.
 
 - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are not
   synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so are not
   up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE.
 
 - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE and
   KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly initialized after
   save+restore.
 
 - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks.
 
 - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields on
   nested #VMEXIT.
 
 - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or #GP for
   SVM-related instructions.
 
 - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM).
 
 - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and (hopefully)
   make the code easier to maintain.
 
 - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard against
   unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined features.
 
 - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when emulating SVM
   instructions.  There are remaining issues in that KVM doesn't handle size
   prefix overrides for 64-bit guests.
 
 - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails instead of
   somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double down on AMD's
   architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP for "unsupported"
   addresses).
 
 - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs.
 
 x86 (Intel):
 
 - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros.
 
 - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
   register input when appropriate.
 
 - Code cleanups.
 
 guest_memfd:
 
 - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't support
   reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage to write
   back to.
 
 LoongArch selftests:
 
 - Add KVM PMU test cases
 
 s390 selftests:
 
 - Enable more memory selftests.
 
 x86 selftests:
 
 - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests.
 
 - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on AMD/Hygon
   CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP.
 
 - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test for a
   bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd folios against
   KVM's will.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Arm:

   - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
     which should help both debugging and performance analysis. This
     uses the new infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers that can be
     exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware, and which came
     through the tracing tree

   - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
     starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM

   - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, where pages are
     unmapped from the host as they are faulted into the guest and can
     be shared back from the guest using pKVM hypercalls. Protected
     guests are created using a new machine type identifier. As the
     elusive guestmem has not yet delivered on its promises, anonymous
     memory is also supported

     This is only a first step towards full isolation from the host; for
     example, the CPU register state and DMA accesses are not yet
     isolated. Because this does not really yet bring fully what it
     promises, it is hidden behind CONFIG_ARM_PKVM_GUEST +
     'kvm-arm.mode=protected', and also triggers TAINT_USER when a VM is
     created. Caveat emptor

   - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
     maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to the
     various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of state
     immutable

   - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow page
     tables on a per-VM basis

   - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard to
     follow

   - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they do not
     generate spurious, out of context table walks that ultimately lead
     to very bad HW lockups

   - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
     cases

   - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
     SMCCC calls

   - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn

  LoongArch:

   - Use CSR_CRMD_PLV for kvm_arch_vcpu_in_kernel()

   - Add DMSINTC irqchip in kernel support

  RISC-V:

   - Fix steal time shared memory alignment checks

   - Fix vector context allocation leak

   - Fix array out-of-bounds in pmu_ctr_read() and pmu_fw_ctr_read_hi()

   - Fix double-free of sdata in kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area()

   - Fix integer overflow in kvm_pmu_validate_counter_mask()

   - Fix shift-out-of-bounds in make_xfence_request()

   - Fix lost write protection on huge pages during dirty logging

   - Split huge pages during fault handling for dirty logging

   - Skip CSR restore if VCPU is reloaded on the same core

   - Implement kvm_arch_has_default_irqchip() for KVM selftests

   - Factored-out ISA checks into separate sources

   - Added hideleg to struct kvm_vcpu_config

   - Factored-out VCPU config into separate sources

   - Support configuration of per-VM HGATP mode from KVM user space

  s390:

   - Support for ESA (31-bit) guests inside nested hypervisors

   - Remove restriction on memslot alignment, which is not needed
     anymore with the new gmap code

   - Fix LPSW/E to update the bear (which of course is the breaking
     event address register)

  x86:

   - Shut up various UBSAN warnings on reading module parameter before
     they were initialized

   - Don't zero-allocate page tables that are used for splitting
     hugepages in the TDP MMU, as KVM is guaranteed to set all SPTEs in
     the page table and thus write all bytes

   - As an optimization, bail early when trying to unsync 4KiB mappings
     if the target gfn can just be mapped with a 2MiB hugepage

  x86 generic:

   - Copy single-chunk MMIO write values into struct kvm_vcpu (more
     precisely struct kvm_mmio_fragment) to fix use-after-free stack
     bugs where KVM would dereference stack pointer after an exit to
     userspace

   - Clean up and comment the emulated MMIO code to try to make it
     easier to maintain (not necessarily "easy", but "easier")

   - Move VMXON+VMXOFF and EFER.SVME toggling out of KVM (not *all* of
     VMX and SVM enabling) as it is needed for trusted I/O

   - Advertise support for AVX512 Bit Matrix Multiply (BMM) instructions

   - Immediately fail the build if a required #define is missing in one
     of KVM's headers that is included multiple times

   - Reject SET_GUEST_DEBUG with -EBUSY if there's an already injected
     exception, mostly to prevent syzkaller from abusing the uAPI to
     trigger WARNs, but also because it can help prevent userspace from
     unintentionally crashing the VM

   - Exempt SMM from CPUID faulting on Intel, as per the spec

   - Misc hardening and cleanup changes

  x86 (AMD):

   - Fix and optimize IRQ window inhibit handling for AVIC; make it
     per-vCPU so that KVM doesn't prematurely re-enable AVIC if multiple
     vCPUs have to-be-injected IRQs

   - Clean up and optimize the OSVW handling, avoiding a bug in which
     KVM would overwrite state when enabling virtualization on multiple
     CPUs in parallel. This should not be a problem because OSVW should
     usually be the same for all CPUs

   - Drop a WARN in KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION where KVM complains
     about a "too large" size based purely on user input

   - Clean up and harden the pinning code for KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_REG_REGION

   - Disallow synchronizing a VMSA of an already-launched/encrypted
     vCPU, as doing so for an SNP guest will crash the host due to an
     RMP violation page fault

   - Overhaul KVM's APIs for detecting SEV+ guests so that VM-scoped
     queries are required to hold kvm->lock, and enforce it by lockdep.
     Fix various bugs where sev_guest() was not ensured to be stable for
     the whole duration of a function or ioctl

   - Convert a pile of kvm->lock SEV code to guard()

   - Play nicer with userspace that does not enable
     KVM_CAP_EXCEPTION_PAYLOAD, for which KVM needs to set CR2 and DR6
     as a response to ioctls such as KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS (even if the
     payload would end up in EXITINFO2 rather than CR2, for example).
     Only set CR2 and DR6 when consumption of the payload is imminent,
     but on the other hand force delivery of the payload in all paths
     where userspace retrieves CR2 or DR6

   - Use vcpu->arch.cr2 when updating vmcb12's CR2 on nested #VMEXIT
     instead of vmcb02->save.cr2. The value is out of sync after a
     save/restore or after a #PF is injected into L2

   - Fix a class of nSVM bugs where some fields written by the CPU are
     not synchronized from vmcb02 to cached vmcb12 after VMRUN, and so
     are not up-to-date when saved by KVM_GET_NESTED_STATE

   - Fix a class of bugs where the ordering between KVM_SET_NESTED_STATE
     and KVM_SET_{S}REGS could cause vmcb02 to be incorrectly
     initialized after save+restore

   - Add a variety of missing nSVM consistency checks

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly update VMCB fields
     on nested #VMEXIT

   - Fix several bugs where KVM failed to correctly synthesize #UD or
     #GP for SVM-related instructions

   - Add support for save+restore of virtualized LBRs (on SVM)

   - Refactor various helpers and macros to improve clarity and
     (hopefully) make the code easier to maintain

   - Aggressively sanitize fields when copying from vmcb12, to guard
     against unintentionally allowing L1 to utilize yet-to-be-defined
     features

   - Fix several bugs where KVM botched rAX legality checks when
     emulating SVM instructions. There are remaining issues in that KVM
     doesn't handle size prefix overrides for 64-bit guests

   - Fail emulation of VMRUN/VMLOAD/VMSAVE if mapping vmcb12 fails
     instead of somewhat arbitrarily synthesizing #GP (i.e. don't double
     down on AMD's architectural but sketchy behavior of generating #GP
     for "unsupported" addresses)

   - Cache all used vmcb12 fields to further harden against TOCTOU bugs

  x86 (Intel):

   - Drop obsolete branch hint prefixes from the VMX instruction macros

   - Use ASM_INPUT_RM() in __vmcs_writel() to coerce clang into using a
     register input when appropriate

   - Code cleanups

  guest_memfd:

   - Don't mark guest_memfd folios as accessed, as guest_memfd doesn't
     support reclaim, the memory is unevictable, and there is no storage
     to write back to

  LoongArch selftests:

   - Add KVM PMU test cases

  s390 selftests:

   - Enable more memory selftests

  x86 selftests:

   - Add support for Hygon CPUs in KVM selftests

   - Fix a bug in the MSR test where it would get false failures on
     AMD/Hygon CPUs with exactly one of RDPID or RDTSCP

   - Add an MADV_COLLAPSE testcase for guest_memfd as a regression test
     for a bug where the kernel would attempt to collapse guest_memfd
     folios against KVM's will"

4245bf4dc5 tracing/osnoise: Add option to align tlat threads
Add an option called TIMERLAT_ALIGN to osnoise/options, together with a
corresponding setting osnoise/timerlat_align_us.

This option sets the alignment of wakeup times between different
timerlat threads, similarly to cyclictest's -A/--aligned option. If
TIMERLAT_ALIGN is set, the first thread that reaches the first cycle
records its first wake-up time. Each following thread sets its first
wake-up time to a fixed offset from the recorded time, and increments
it by the same offset.

Example:

osnoise/timerlat_period is set to 1000, osnoise/timerlat_align_us is
set to 20. There are four threads, on CPUs 1 to 4.

- CPU 4 enters first cycle first. The current time is 20000us, so
the wake-up of the first cycle is set to 21000us. This time is recorded.
- CPU 2 enter first cycle next. It reads the recorded time, increments
it to 21020us, and uses this value as its own wake-up time for the first
cycle.
- CPU 3 enters first cycle next. It reads the recorded time, increments
it to 21040 us, and uses the value as its own wake-up time.
- CPU 1 proceeds analogically.

In each next cycle, the wake-up time (called "absolute period" in
timerlat code) is incremented by the (relative) period of 1000us. Thus,
the wake-ups in the following cycles (provided the times are reached and
not in the past) will be as follows:

CPU 1		CPU 2		CPU 3	 	CPU 4
21080us		21020us		21040us		21000us
22080us		22020us		22040us		22000us
...		...		...		...

Even if any cycle is skipped due to e.g. the first cycle calculation
happening later, the alignment stays in place.

fdbfee9fc5 Runtime Verification updates for 7.1:
- Refactor da_monitor header to share handlers across monitor types
 
   No functional changes, only less code duplication.
 
 - Add Hybrid Automata model class
 
   Add a new model class that extends deterministic automata by adding
   constraints on transitions and states. Those constraints can take into
   account wall-clock time and as such allow RV monitor to make
   assertions on real time. Add documentation and code generation
   scripts.
 
 - Add stall monitor as hybrid automaton example
 
   Add a monitor that triggers a violation when a task is stalling as an
   example of automaton working with real time variables.
 
 - Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton
 
   The opid monitor can be heavily simplified if written as a hybrid
   automaton: instead of tracking preempt and interrupt enable/disable
   events, it can just run constraints on the preemption/interrupt
   states when events like wakeup and need_resched verify.
 
 - Add support for per-object monitors in DA/HA
 
   Allow writing deterministic and hybrid automata monitors for generic
   objects (e.g. any struct), by exploiting a hash table where objects
   are saved. This allows to track more than just tasks in RV. For
   instance it will be used to track deadline entities in deadline
   monitors.
 
 - Add deadline tracepoints and move some deadline utilities
 
   Prepare the ground for deadline monitors by defining events and
   exporting helpers.
 
 - Add nomiss deadline monitor
 
   Add first example of deadline monitor asserting all entities complete
   before their deadline.
 
 - Improve rvgen error handling
 
   Introduce AutomataError exception class and better handle expected
   exceptions while showing a backtrace for unexpected ones.
 
 - Improve python code quality in rvgen
 
   Refactor the rvgen generation scripts to align with python best
   practices: use f-strings instead of %, use len() instead of __len__(),
   remove semicolons, use context managers for file operations, fix
   whitespace violations, extract magic strings into constants, remove
   unused imports and methods.
 
 - Fix small bugs in rvgen
 
   The generator scripts presented some corner case bugs: logical error in
   validating what a correct dot file looks like, fix an isinstance()
   check, enforce a dot file has an initial state, fix type annotations
   and typos in comments.
 
 - rvgen refactoring
 
   Refactor automata.py to use iterator-based parsing and handle required
   arguments directly in argparse.
 
 - Allow epoll in rtapp-sleep monitor
 
   The epoll_wait call is now rt-friendly so it should be allowed in the
   sleep monitor as a valid sleep method.

e4bf304f00 ring-buffer updates for 7.1:
- Add remote buffers for pKVM
 
   pKVM has a hypervisor component that is used to protect the guest from the
   host kernel. This hypervisor is a black box to the kernel as the kernel is
   to user space. The remote buffers are used to have a memory mapping
   between the hypervisor and the kernel where kernel may send commands to
   enable tracing within the hypervisor. Then the kernel will read this
   memory mapping just like user space can read the memory mapped ring buffer
   of the kernel tracing system.
 
   Since the hypervisor only has a single context, it doesn't need to worry
   about races between normal context, interrupt context and NMIs like the
   kernel does. The ring buffer it uses doesn't need to be as complex. The
   remote buffers are a simple version of the ring buffer that works in a
   single context. They are still per-CPU and use sub buffers. The data
   layout is the same as the kernel's ring buffer to share the same parsing.
 
   Currently, only ARM64 implements pKVM, but there's work to implement it
   also in x86. The remote buffer code is separated out from the ARM
   implementation so that it can be used in the future by x86.
 
   The ARM64 updates for pKVM is in the ARM/KVM tree and it merged in the
   remote buffers of this tree.
 
 - Merge commit f35dbac694 ("ring-buffer: Fix to update per-subbuf entries of persistent ring buffer")`
 
   A fix was merged upstream that some new changes depended on. The upstream
   commit was merged into the ring buffer branch to fulfil the dependency.
 
 - Make the backup instance non reusable
 
   The backup instance is a copy of the persistent ring buffer so that the
   persistent ring buffer could start recording again without using the data
   from the previous boot. The backup isn't for normal tracing. It is made
   read-only, and after it is consumed, it is automatically removed.
 
 - Have backup copy persistent instance before it starts recording
 
   To allow the persistent ring buffer to start recording from the kernel
   command line commands, move the copy of the backup instance to before the
   the command line options start recording.
 
 - Report header_page overwrite field as "char" and not "int'
 
   The rust parser of the header_page file was triggering a warning when it
   defined the overwrite variable as "int" but it was only a single byte in
   size.
 
 - Fix memory barriers for the trace_buffer CPU mask
 
   When a CPU comes online, the bit is set to allow readers to know that the
   CPU buffer is allocated. The bit is set after the allocation is done, and
   a smp_wmb() is performed after the allocation and before the setting of
   the bit. But instead of adding a smp_rmb() to all readers, since once a
   buffer is created for a CPU it is not deleted if that CPU goes offline, so
   this allocation is almost always done at boot up before any readers exist.
 
   If for the unlikely case where a CPU comes online for the first time after
   the system boot has finished, send an IPI to all CPUs to force the
   smp_rmb() for each CPU.
 
 - Show clock function being used in debugging ring buffer data
 
   When the ring buffer checks are enabled and the ring buffer detects an
   inconsistency in the times of the invents, print out the clock being used
   when the error occurred. There was a very hard to hit bug that would
   happen every so often and it ended up being only triggered when the jiffies
   clock was being used. If the bug showed the clock being used, it would
   have been much easier to find the problem (which was an internal function
   was being traced which caused the clock accounting to go off).

   boot up before any readers exist.

   If for the unlikely case where a CPU comes online for the first time
   after the system boot has finished, send an IPI to all CPUs to force
   the smp_rmb() for each CPU.

 - Show clock function being used in debugging ring buffer data

   When the ring buffer checks are enabled and the ring buffer detects
   an inconsistency in the times of the invents, print out the clock
   being used when the error occurred. There was a very hard to hit bug
   that would happen every so often and it ended up being only triggered
   when the jiffies clock was being used. If the bug showed the clock
   being used, it would have been much easier to find the problem (which
   was an internal function was being traced which caused the clock
   accounting to go off).

1521829632 ftrace updates for 7.1:
- Speed up ftrace_lookup_symbols() for single lookups
 
   The kallsyms lookup in ftrace_lookup_symbols() does a linear search over
   each symbol. This is fine when it must match multiple strings, but when
   there's only a single string being searched for, using a binary search is
   much more efficient. When a single string is passed in to search, use the
   binary search method.

   8k line were moved. verifier.c still stands at 20k lines.

   Further refactoring is planned for the next release.

 - Replace dynamic stack liveness with static stack liveness based on
   data flow analysis.

c1fe867b5b Updates for the timer/timekeeping core:
- A rework of the hrtimer subsystem to reduce the overhead for frequently
     armed timers, especially the hrtick scheduler timer.
 
       - Better timer locality decision
 
       - Simplification of the evaluation of the first expiry time by
         keeping track of the neighbor timers in the RB-tree by providing a
         RB-tree variant with neighbor links. That avoids walking the
         RB-tree on removal to find the next expiry time, but even more
         important allows to quickly evaluate whether a timer which is
         rearmed changes the position in the RB-tree with the modified
         expiry time or not. If not, the dequeue/enqueue sequence which both
         can end up in rebalancing can be completely avoided.
 
       - Deferred reprogramming of the underlying clock event device. This
         optimizes for the situation where a hrtimer callback sets the need
         resched bit. In that case the code attempts to defer the
         re-programming of the clock event device up to the point where the
         scheduler has picked the next task and has the next hrtick timer
         armed. In case that there is no immediate reschedule or soft
         interrupts have to be handled before reaching the reschedule point
         in the interrupt entry code the clock event is reprogrammed in one
         of those code paths to prevent that the timer becomes stale.
 
       - Support for clocksource coupled clockevents
 
       	The TSC deadline timer is coupled to the TSC. The next event is
       	programmed in TSC time. Currently this is done by converting the
       	CLOCK_MONOTONIC based expiry value into a relative timeout,
       	converting it into TSC ticks, reading the TSC adding the delta
       	ticks and writing the deadline MSR.
 
 	As the timekeeping core has the conversion factors for the TSC
 	already, the whole back and forth conversion can be completely
 	avoided. The timekeeping core calculates the reverse conversion
 	factors from nanoseconds to TSC ticks and utilizes the base
 	timestamps of TSC and CLOCK_MONOTONIC which are updated once per
 	tick. This allows a direct conversion into the TSC deadline value
 	without reading the time and as a bonus keeps the deadline
 	conversion in sync with the TSC conversion factors, which are
 	updated by adjtimex() on systems with NTP/PTP enabled.
 
      - Allow inlining of the clocksource read and clockevent write
        functions when they are tiny enough, e.g. on x86 RDTSC and WRMSR.
 
     With all those enhancements in place a hrtick enabled scheduler
     provides the same performance as without hrtick. But also other hrtimer
     users obviously benefit from these optimizations.
 
   - Robustness improvements and cleanups of historical sins in the hrtimer
     and timekeeping code.
 
   - Rewrite of the clocksource watchdog.
 
     The clocksource watchdog code has over time reached the state of an
     impenetrable maze of duct tape and staples. The original design, which was
     made in the context of systems far smaller than today, is based on the
     assumption that the to be monitored clocksource (TSC) can be trivially
     compared against a known to be stable clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM timer).
 
     Over the years this rather naive approach turned out to have major
     flaws. Long delays between the watchdog invocations can cause wrap
     arounds of the reference clocksource. The access to the reference
     clocksource degrades on large multi-sockets systems dure to
     interconnect congestion. This has been addressed with various
     heuristics which degraded the accuracy of the watchdog to the point
     that it fails to detect actual TSC problems on older hardware which
     exposes slow inter CPU drifts due to firmware manipulating the TSC to
     hide SMI time.
 
     The rewrite addresses this by:
 
       - Restricting the validation against the reference clocksource to the
         boot CPU which is usually closest to the legacy block which
         contains the reference clocksource (HPET/ACPI-PM).
 
       - Do a round robin validation betwen the boot CPU and the other CPUs
         based only on the TSC with an algorithm similar to the TSC
         synchronization code during CPU hotplug.
 
       - Being more leniant versus remote timeouts
 
   - The usual tiny fixes, cleanups and enhancements all over the place

Currently, this does not cause problems, as the page ID always comes

5ec1d1e97d tracing: Rebuild full_name on each hist_field_name() call
hist_field_name() uses a static MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL buffer for fully
qualified variable-reference names, but it currently appends into that
buffer with strcat() without rebuilding it first. As a result, repeated
calls append a new "system.event.field" name onto the previous one,
which can eventually run past the end of full_name.

Build the name with snprintf() on each call and return NULL if the fully
qualified name does not fit in MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL.

The header_page tracefs metadata currently reports overwrite as an

Keep the shared offset with commit as-is, but report overwrite as

is already carried separately by the emitted signed field.

e74c3a8891 KVM/arm64 updates for 7.1
* New features:
 
 - Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
   which should help both debugging and performance analysis.
   This comes with a full infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers
   that can be exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware.
 
 - Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
   starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM.
 
 - Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, with anonymous
   memory being used as a backing store. About time!
 
 * Improvements and bug fixes:
 
 - Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
   maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to
   the various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of
   state immutable.
 
 - Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow
   page tables on a per-VM basis.
 
 - Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard
   to follow.
 
 - Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they
   do not generate spurious, out of context table walks that
   ultimately lead to very bad HW lockups.
 
 - A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
   cases.
 
 - Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
   SMCCC calls.
 
 - The usual cleanups and other selftest churn.

Merge tag 'kvmarm-7.1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvmarm/kvmarm into HEAD

KVM/arm64 updates for 7.1

* New features:

- Add support for tracing in the standalone EL2 hypervisor code,
  which should help both debugging and performance analysis.
  This comes with a full infrastructure for 'remote' trace buffers
  that can be exposed by non-kernel entities such as firmware.

- Add support for GICv5 Per Processor Interrupts (PPIs), as the
  starting point for supporting the new GIC architecture in KVM.

- Finally add support for pKVM protected guests, with anonymous
  memory being used as a backing store. About time!

* Improvements and bug fixes:

- Rework the dreaded user_mem_abort() function to make it more
  maintainable, reducing the amount of state being exposed to
  the various helpers and rendering a substantial amount of
  state immutable.

- Expand the Stage-2 page table dumper to support NV shadow
  page tables on a per-VM basis.

- Tidy up the pKVM PSCI proxy code to be slightly less hard
  to follow.

- Fix both SPE and TRBE in non-VHE configurations so that they
  do not generate spurious, out of context table walks that
  ultimately lead to very bad HW lockups.

- A small set of patches fixing the Stage-2 MMU freeing in error
  cases.

- Tighten-up accepted SMC immediate value to be only #0 for host
  SMCCC calls.

- The usual cleanups and other selftest churn.

1870ddcd94 bpf: Prefer vmlinux symbols over module symbols for unqualified kprobes
When an unqualified kprobe target exists in both vmlinux and a loaded
module, number_of_same_symbols() returns a count greater than 1,
causing kprobe attachment to fail with -EADDRNOTAVAIL even though the
vmlinux symbol is unambiguous.

When no module qualifier is given and the symbol is found in vmlinux,
return the vmlinux-only count without scanning loaded modules. This
preserves the existing behavior for all other cases:
- Symbol only in a module: vmlinux count is 0, falls through to module
  scan as before.
- Symbol qualified with MOD:SYM: mod != NULL, unchanged path.
- Symbol ambiguous within vmlinux itself: count > 1 is returned as-is.

3515572dd0 tracing: Allow backup to save persistent ring buffer before it starts
When the persistent ring buffer was first introduced, it did not make
sense to start tracing for it on the kernel command line. That's because
if there was a crash, the start of events would invalidate the events from
the previous boot that had the crash.

But now that there's a "backup" instance that can take a snapshot of the
persistent ring buffer when boot starts, it is possible to have the
persistent ring buffer start events at boot up and not lose the old events.

Update the code where the boot events start after all boot time instances
are created. This will allow the backup instance to copy the persistent
ring buffer from the previous boot, and allow the persistent ring buffer
to start tracing new events for the current boot.

  reserve_mem=100M:12M:trace trace_instance=boot_mapped^@trace,sched trace_instance=backup=boot_mapped

The above will create a boot_mapped persistent ring buffer and enabled the
scheduler events. If there's a crash, a "backup" instance will be created
holding the events of the persistent ring buffer from the previous boot,
while the persistent ring buffer will once again start tracing scheduler
events of the current boot.

Now the user doesn't have to remember to start the persistent ring buffer.
It will always have the events started at each boot.

20ad8b0888 ring-buffer: Enforce read ordering of trace_buffer cpumask and buffers
On CPU hotplug, if it is the first time a trace_buffer sees a CPU, a
ring_buffer_per_cpu will be allocated and its corresponding bit toggled
in the cpumask. Many readers check this cpumask to know if they can
safely read the ring_buffer_per_cpu but they are doing so without memory
ordering and may observe the cpumask bit set while having NULL buffer
pointer.

Enforce the memory read ordering by sending an IPI to all online CPUs.
The hotplug path is a slow-path anyway and it saves us from adding read
barriers in numerous call sites.

cleared from the trace_buffer CPU mask, preventing the creation of a

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)

d1a03c2906 tracing: Preserve repeated trace_trigger boot parameters
trace_trigger= tokenizes bootup_trigger_buf in place and stores pointers
into that buffer for later trigger registration. Repeated trace_trigger=
parameters overwrite the buffer contents from earlier calls, leaving
only the last set of parsed event and trigger strings.

Keep each new trace_trigger= string at the end of bootup_trigger_buf and
parse only the appended range. That preserves the earlier event and
trigger strings while still letting repeated parameters queue additional
boot-time triggers.

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

Before this change, only the last trace_trigger= instance survived boot.

2b406fdb33 rv: Convert the opid monitor to a hybrid automaton
The opid monitor validates that wakeup and need_resched events only
occur with interrupts and preemption disabled by following the
preemptirq tracepoints.
As reported in [1], those tracepoints might be inaccurate in some
situations (e.g. NMIs).

Since the monitor doesn't validate other ordering properties, remove the
dependency on preemptirq tracepoints and convert the monitor to a hybrid
automaton to validate the constraint during event handling.
This makes the monitor more robust by also removing the workaround for
interrupts missing the preemption tracepoints, which was working on
PREEMPT_RT only and allows the monitor to be built on kernels without
the preemptirqs tracepoints.

250ab25391 tracing: Drain deferred trigger frees if kthread creation fails
Boot-time trigger registration can fail before the trigger-data cleanup
kthread exists. Deferring those frees until late init is fine, but the
post-boot fallback must still drain the deferred list if kthread
creation never succeeds.

Otherwise, boot-deferred nodes can accumulate on
trigger_data_free_list, later frees fall back to synchronously freeing
only the current object, and the older queued entries are leaked
forever.

To trigger this, add the following to the kernel command line:

  trace_event=sched_switch trace_trigger=sched_switch.traceon,sched_switch.traceon

The second traceon trigger will fail and be freed. This triggers a NULL
pointer dereference and crashes the kernel.

Keep the deferred boot-time behavior, but when kthread creation fails,
drain the whole queued list synchronously. Do the same in the late-init
drain path so queued entries are not stranded there either.

The trace.c file was a dumping ground for most tracing code. Start
organizing it better by moving various functions out into their own files.
Move all the snapshot code, including the max trace code into its own
trace_snapshot.c file.

23d1cfc021 ring-buffer: Show what clock function is used on timestamp errors
The testing for tracing was triggering a timestamp count issue that was
always off by one. This has been happening for some time but has never
been reported by anyone else. It was finally discovered to be an issue
with the "uptime" (jiffies) clock that happened to be traced and the
internal recursion caused the discrepancy. This would have been much
easier to solve if the clock function being used was displayed when the
error was detected.

Add the clock function to the error output.

The commit f35dbac694 ("ring-buffer: Fix to update per-subbuf entries of
persistent ring buffer") was a fix and merged upstream. It is needed for
some other work in the ring buffer. The current branch has the remote
buffer code that is shared with the Arm64 subsystem and can't be rebased.

Merge in the upstream commit to allow continuing of the ring buffer work.

f54f08b1b8 tracing: Free up file->private_data for use by individual events
The tracing_open_file_tr() function currently copies the trace_event_file
pointer from inode->i_private to file->private_data when the file is
successfully opened. This duplication is not particularly useful, as all
event code should utilize event_file_file() or event_file_data() to
retrieve a trace_event_file pointer from a file struct and these access
functions read file->f_inode->i_private. Moreover, this setup requires the
code for opening hist files to explicitly clear file->private_data before
calling single_open(), since this function expects the private_data member
to be set to NULL and uses it to store a pointer to a seq_file.

Remove the unnecessary setting of file->private_data in
tracing_open_file_tr() and simplify the hist code.

f0eaed2723 tracing: Clean up access to trace_event_file from a file pointer
The tracing code provides two functions event_file_file() and
event_file_data() to obtain a trace_event_file pointer from a file struct.
The primary method to use is event_file_file(), as it checks for the
EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag to determine whether the event is being removed.
The second function event_file_data() is an optimization for retrieving the
same data when the event_mutex is still held.

In the past, when removing an event directory in remove_event_file_dir(),
the code set i_private to NULL for all event files and readers were
expected to check for this state to recognize that the event is being
removed. In the case of event_id_read(), the value was read using
event_file_data() without acquiring the event_mutex. This required
event_file_data() to use READ_ONCE() when retrieving the i_private data.

With the introduction of eventfs, i_private is assigned when an eventfs
inode is allocated and remains set throughout its lifetime.

Remove the now unnecessary READ_ONCE() access to i_private in both
event_file_file() and event_file_data(). Inline the access to i_private in
remove_event_file_dir(), which allows event_file_data() to handle i_private
solely as a trace_event_file pointer. Add a check in event_file_data() to
ensure that the event_mutex is held and that file->flags doesn't have the
EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag set. Finally, move event_file_data() immediately
after event_file_code() since the latter provides a comment explaining how
both functions should be used together.

f55c09dabb tracing: Remove unnecessary check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED
The event_filter_write() function calls event_file_file() to retrieve
a trace_event_file associated with a given file struct. If a non-NULL
pointer is returned, the function then checks whether the trace_event_file
instance has the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag set. This check is redundant
because event_file_file() already performs this validation and returns NULL
if the flag is set. The err value is also already initialized to -ENODEV.

Remove the unnecessary check for EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED in
event_filter_write().

473e470f16 tracing: move __printf() attribute on __ftrace_vbprintk()
The sunrpc change to use trace_printk() for debugging caused
a new warning for every instance of dprintk() in some configurations,
when -Wformat-security is enabled:

fs/nfs/getroot.c: In function 'nfs_get_root':
fs/nfs/getroot.c:90:17: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
   90 |                 nfs_errorf(fc, "NFS: Couldn't getattr on root");

I've been slowly chipping away at those warnings over time with the
intention of enabling them by default in the future. While I could not
figure out why this only happens for this one instance, I see that the
__trace_bprintk() function is always called with a local variable as
the format string, rather than a literal.

Move the __printf(2,3) annotation on this function from the declaration
to the caller. As this is can only be validated for literals, the
attribute on the declaration causes the warnings every time, but
removing it entirely introduces a new warning on the __ftrace_vbprintk()
definition.

The format strings still get checked because the underlying literal keeps
getting passed into __trace_printk() in the "else" branch, which is not
taken but still evaluated for compile-time warnings.

07183aac4a tracing: Fix trace_marker copy link list updates
When the "copy_trace_marker" option is enabled for an instance, anything
written into /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_marker is also copied into that
instances buffer. When the option is set, that instance's trace_array
descriptor is added to the marker_copies link list. This list is protected
by RCU, as all iterations uses an RCU protected list traversal.

When the instance is deleted, all the flags that were enabled are cleared.
This also clears the copy_trace_marker flag and removes the trace_array
descriptor from the list.

The issue is after the flags are called, a direct call to
update_marker_trace() is performed to clear the flag. This function
returns true if the state of the flag changed and false otherwise. If it
returns true here, synchronize_rcu() is called to make sure all readers
see that its removed from the list.

But since the flag was already cleared, the state does not change and the
synchronization is never called, leaving a possible UAF bug.

Move the clearing of all flags below the updating of the copy_trace_marker
option which then makes sure the synchronization is performed.

Also use the flag for checking the state in update_marker_trace() instead
of looking at if the list is empty.

edca33a562 tracing: Fix failure to read user space from system call trace events
The system call trace events call trace_user_fault_read() to read the user
space part of some system calls. This is done by grabbing a per-cpu
buffer, disabling migration, enabling preemption, calling
copy_from_user(), disabling preemption, enabling migration and checking if
the task was preempted while preemption was enabled. If it was, the buffer
is considered corrupted and it tries again.

There's a safety mechanism that will fail out of this loop if it fails 100
times (with a warning). That warning message was triggered in some
pi_futex stress tests. Enabling the sched_switch trace event and
traceoff_on_warning, showed the problem:

What happened was the task 1375 was flagged to be migrated. When
preemption was enabled, the migration thread woke up to migrate that task,
but failed because migration for that task was disabled. This caused the
loop to fail to exit because the task scheduled out while trying to read
user space.

Every time the task enabled preemption the migration thread would schedule
in, try to migrate the task, fail and let the task continue. But because
the loop would only enable preemption with migration disabled, it would
always fail because each time it enabled preemption to read user space,
the migration thread would try to migrate it.

To solve this, when the loop fails to read user space without being
scheduled out, enabled and disable preemption with migration enabled. This
will allow the migration task to successfully migrate the task and the
next loop should succeed to read user space without being scheduled out.

1211907ac0 tracing: Generate undef symbols allowlist for simple_ring_buffer
Compiler and tooling-generated symbols are difficult to maintain
across all supported architectures. Make the allowlist more robust by
replacing the harcoded list with a mechanism that automatically detects
these symbols.

This mechanism generates a C function designed to trigger common
compiler-inserted symbols.

7e4b6c9430 tracing: add more symbols to whitelist
Randconfig builds show a number of cryptic build errors from
hitting undefined symbols in simple_ring_buffer.o:

make[7]: *** [/home/arnd/arm-soc/kernel/trace/Makefile:147: kernel/trace/simple_ring_buffer.o.checked] Error 1

These happen with CONFIG_TRACE_BRANCH_PROFILING, CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS,
CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR, CONFIG_DEBUG_IRQFLAGS and indirectly from WARN_ON().

Add exceptions for each one that I have hit so far on arm64, x86_64 and arm
randconfig builds.

Other architectures likely hit additional ones, so it would be nice
to produce a little more verbose output that include the name of the
missing symbols directly.

 - Fix multiple events on the command line and bootconfig
 
   If multiple events are enabled on the command line separately and not
   grouped, only the last event gets enabled. That is:
 
     trace_event=sched_switch trace_event=sched_waking
 
   Will only enable sched_waking where as:
 
     trace_event=sched_switch,sched_waking
 
   Will enable both.
 
   The bootconfig makes it even worse as the second way is the more common
   method.
 
   The issue is that a temporary buffer is used to store the events to enable
   later in boot. Each time the cmdline callback is called, it overwrites
   what was previously there.
 
   Have the callback append the next value (delimited by a comma) if the
   temporary buffer already has content.

d008ba8be8 tracing: Fix trace_buf_size= cmdline parameter with sizes >= 2G
Some of the sizing logic through tracer_alloc_buffers() uses int
internally, causing unexpected behavior if the user passes a value that
does not fit in an int (on my x86 machine, the result is uselessly tiny
buffers).

Fix by plumbing the parameter's real type (unsigned long) through to the
ring buffer allocation functions, which already use unsigned long.

It has always been possible to create larger ring buffers via the sysfs
interface: this only affects the cmdline parameter.

3b1679e086 tracing: Fix enabling multiple events on the kernel command line and bootconfig
Multiple events can be enabled on the kernel command line via a comma
separator. But if the are specified one at a time, then only the last
event is enabled. This is because the event names are saved in a temporary
buffer, and each call by the init cmdline code will reset that buffer.

This also affects names in the boot config file, as it may call the
callback multiple times with an example of:

  kernel.trace_event = ":mod:rproc_qcom_common", ":mod:qrtr", ":mod:qcom_aoss"

Change the cmdline callback function to append a comma and the next value
if the temporary buffer already has content.

457965c13f tracing: Add NULL pointer check to trigger_data_free()
If trigger_data_alloc() fails and returns NULL, event_hist_trigger_parse()
jumps to the out_free error path. While kfree() safely handles a NULL
pointer, trigger_data_free() does not. This causes a NULL pointer
dereference in trigger_data_free() when evaluating
data->cmd_ops->set_filter.

Fix the problem by adding a NULL pointer check to trigger_data_free().

The problem was found by an experimental code review agent based on
gemini-3.1-pro while reviewing backports into v6.18.y.

e39bb9e02b tracing: Fix WARN_ON in tracing_buffers_mmap_close
When a process forks, the child process copies the parent's VMAs but the
user_mapped reference count is not incremented. As a result, when both the
parent and child processes exit, tracing_buffers_mmap_close() is called
twice. On the second call, user_mapped is already 0, causing the function to
return -ENODEV and triggering a WARN_ON.

Normally, this isn't an issue as the memory is mapped with VM_DONTCOPY set.
But this is only a hint, and the application can call
madvise(MADVISE_DOFORK) which resets the VM_DONTCOPY flag. When the
application does that, it can trigger this issue on fork.

Fix it by incrementing the user_mapped reference count without re-mapping
the pages in the VMA's open callback.

The tracepoint callbacks recently were changed to allow preemption. The
event PID filtering callbacks that were attached to the fork and exit
tracepoints expected preemption disabled in order to access the RCU
protected PID lists.

Add a guard(preempt)() to protect the references to the PID list.

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.

0a663b764d tracing: Fix syscall events activation by ensuring refcount hits zero
When multiple syscall events are specified in the kernel command line
(e.g., trace_event=syscalls:sys_enter_openat,syscalls:sys_enter_close),
they are often not captured after boot, even though they appear enabled
in the tracing/set_event file.

The issue stems from how syscall events are initialized. Syscall
tracepoints require the global reference count (sys_tracepoint_refcount)
to transition from 0 to 1 to trigger the registration of the syscall
work (TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT) for tasks, including the init process (pid 1).

The current implementation of early_enable_events() with disable_first=true
used an interleaved sequence of "Disable A -> Enable A -> Disable B -> Enable B".
If multiple syscalls are enabled, the refcount never drops to zero,
preventing the 0->1 transition that triggers actual registration.

Fix this by splitting early_enable_events() into two distinct phases:
1. Disable all events specified in the buffer.
2. Enable all events specified in the buffer.

This ensures the refcount hits zero before re-enabling, allowing syscall
events to be properly activated during early boot.

The code is also refactored to use a helper function to avoid logic
duplication between the disable and enable phases.

b96d0c59cd fgraph: Fix thresh_return nosleeptime double-adjust
trace_graph_thresh_return() called handle_nosleeptime() and then delegated
to trace_graph_return(), which calls handle_nosleeptime() again. When
sleep-time accounting is disabled this double-adjusts calltime and can
produce bogus durations (including underflow).

Fix this by computing rettime once, applying handle_nosleeptime() only
once, using the adjusted calltime for threshold comparison, and writing
the return event directly via __trace_graph_return() when the threshold is
met.

6ca8379b5d fgraph: Fix thresh_return clear per-task notrace
When tracing_thresh is enabled, function graph tracing uses
trace_graph_thresh_return() as the return handler. Unlike
trace_graph_return(), it did not clear the per-task TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE
flag set by the entry handler for set_graph_notrace addresses. This could
leave the task permanently in "notrace" state and effectively disable
function graph tracing for that task.

Mirror trace_graph_return()'s per-task notrace handling by clearing
TRACE_GRAPH_NOTRACE and returning early when set.

Ihor and Kumar reported splat from ftrace_get_addr_curr [1], which happened
because of the missing ftrace_lock in update_ftrace_direct_add/del functions

The ftrace_update_ops function must be guarded by ftrace_lock, adding that.

da46b5dfef blktrace: fix __this_cpu_read/write in preemptible context
tracing_record_cmdline() internally uses __this_cpu_read() and
__this_cpu_write() on the per-CPU variable trace_cmdline_save, and
trace_save_cmdline() explicitly asserts preemption is disabled via
lockdep_assert_preemption_disabled(). These operations are only safe
when preemption is off, as they were designed to be called from the
scheduler context (probe_wakeup_sched_switch() / probe_wakeup()).

__blk_add_trace() was calling tracing_record_cmdline(current) early in
the blk_tracer path, before ring buffer reservation, from process
context where preemption is fully enabled. This triggers the following
using blktests/blktrace/002:

The same BUG fires from blk_add_trace_plug(), blk_add_trace_unplug(),
and blk_add_trace_rq() paths as well.

The purpose of tracing_record_cmdline() is to cache the task->comm for

meaningful when a trace event is actually being recorded. Ring buffer
reservation via ring_buffer_lock_reserve() disables preemption, and
preemption remains disabled until the event is committed :-

32a92f8c89 Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL

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

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 *".

- Fix possible dereference of uninitialized pointer
 
   When validating the persistent ring buffer on boot up, if the first
   validation fails, a reference to "head_page" is performed in the
   error path, but it skips over the initialization of that variable.
   Move the initialization before the first validation check.
 
 - Fix use of event length in validation of persistent ring buffer
 
   On boot up, the persistent ring buffer is checked to see if it is
   valid by several methods. One being to walk all the events in the
   memory location to make sure they are all valid. The length of the
   event is used to move to the next event. This length is determined
   by the data in the buffer. If that length is corrupted, it could
   possibly make the next event to check located at a bad memory location.
 
   Validate the length field of the event when doing the event walk.
 
 - Fix function graph on archs that do not support use of ftrace_ops
 
   When an architecture defines HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, it means
   that its function graph tracer uses the ftrace_ops of the function
   tracer to call its callbacks. This allows a single registered callback
   to be called directly instead of checking the callback's meta data's
   hash entries against the function being traced.
 
   For architectures that do not support this feature, it must always
   call the loop function that tests each registered callback (even if
   there's only one). The loop function tests each callback's meta data
   against its hash of functions and will call its callback if the
   function being traced is in its hash map.
 
   The issue was that there was no check against this and the direct
   function was being called even if the architecture didn't support it.
   This meant that if function tracing was enabled at the same time
   as a callback was registered with the function graph tracer, its
   callback would be called for every function that the function tracer
   also traced, even if the callback's meta data only wanted to be
   called back for a small subset of functions.
 
   Prevent the direct calling for those architectures that do not support
   it.
 
 - Fix references to trace_event_file for hist files
 
   The hist files used event_file_data() to get a reference to the
   associated trace_event_file the histogram was attached to. This
   would return a pointer even if the trace_event_file is about to
   be freed (via RCU). Instead it should use the event_file_file()
   helper that returns NULL if the trace_event_file is marked to be
   freed so that no new references are added to it.
 
 - Wake up hist poll readers when an event is being freed
 
   When polling on a hist file, the task is only awoken when a hist
   trigger is triggered. This means that if an event is being freed
   while there's a task waiting on its hist file, it will need to wait
   until the hist trigger occurs to wake it up and allow the freeing
   to happen. Note, the event will not be completely freed until all
   references are removed, and a hist poller keeps a reference. But
   it should still be woken when the event is being freed.

9678e53179 tracing: Wake up poll waiters for hist files when removing an event
The event_hist_poll() function attempts to verify whether an event file is
being removed, but this check may not occur or could be unnecessarily
delayed. This happens because hist_poll_wakeup() is currently invoked only
from event_hist_trigger() when a hist command is triggered. If the event
file is being removed, no associated hist command will be triggered and a
waiter will be woken up only after an unrelated hist command is triggered.

Fix the issue by adding a call to hist_poll_wakeup() in
remove_event_file_dir() after setting the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag. This
ensures that a task polling on a hist file is woken up and receives
EPOLLERR.

f0a0da1f90 tracing: Fix checking of freed trace_event_file for hist files
The event_hist_open() and event_hist_poll() functions currently retrieve
a trace_event_file pointer from a file struct by invoking
event_file_data(), which simply returns file->f_inode->i_private. The
functions then check if the pointer is NULL to determine whether the event
is still valid. This approach is flawed because i_private is assigned when
an eventfs inode is allocated and remains set throughout its lifetime.
Instead, the code should call event_file_file(), which checks for
EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED. Using the incorrect access function may result in the
code potentially opening a hist file for an event that is being removed or
becoming stuck while polling on this file.

Correct the access method to event_file_file() in both functions.

f4ff9f646a fgraph: Do not call handlers direct when not using ftrace_ops
The function graph tracer was modified to us the ftrace_ops of the
function tracer. This simplified the code as well as allowed more features
of the function graph tracer.

Not all architectures were converted over as it required the
implementation of HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS to implement. For those
architectures, it still did it the old way where the function graph tracer
handle was called by the function tracer trampoline. The handler then had
to check the hash to see if the registered handlers wanted to be called by
that function or not.

In order to speed up the function graph tracer that used ftrace_ops, if
only one callback was registered with function graph, it would call its
function directly via a static call.

Now, if the architecture does not support the use of using ftrace_ops and
still has the ftrace function trampoline calling the function graph
handler, then by doing a direct call it removes the check against the
handler's hash (list of functions it wants callbacks to), and it may call
that handler for functions that the handler did not request calls for.

On 32bit x86, which does not support the ftrace_ops use with function
graph tracer, it shows the issue:

 ~# trace-cmd start -p function -l schedule
 ~# trace-cmd show
 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
  2) * 11898.94 us |  schedule();
  3) # 1783.041 us |  schedule();
  1)               |  schedule() {
  ------------------------------------------
  1)   bash-8369    =>  kworker-7669
  ------------------------------------------
  1)               |        schedule() {
  ------------------------------------------
  1)  kworker-7669  =>   bash-8369
  ------------------------------------------
  1) + 97.004 us   |  }
  1)               |  schedule() {
 [..]

Now by starting the function tracer is another instance:

 ~# trace-cmd start -B foo -p function

This causes the function graph tracer to trace all functions (because the
function trace calls the function graph tracer for each on, and the
function graph trace is doing a direct call):

 ~# trace-cmd show
 # tracer: function_graph
 #
 # CPU  DURATION                  FUNCTION CALLS
 # |     |   |                     |   |   |   |
  1)   1.669 us    |          } /* preempt_count_sub */
  1) + 10.443 us   |        } /* _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore */
  1)               |        tick_program_event() {
  1)               |          clockevents_program_event() {
  1)   1.044 us    |            ktime_get();
  1)   6.481 us    |            lapic_next_event();
  1) + 10.114 us   |          }
  1) + 11.790 us   |        }
  1) ! 181.223 us  |      } /* hrtimer_interrupt */
  1) ! 184.624 us  |    } /* __sysvec_apic_timer_interrupt */
  1)               |    irq_exit_rcu() {
  1)   0.678 us    |      preempt_count_sub();

When it should still only be tracing the schedule() function.

To fix this, add a macro FGRAPH_NO_DIRECT to be set to 0 when the
architecture does not support function graph use of ftrace_ops, and set to
1 otherwise. Then use this macro to know to allow function graph tracer to
call the handlers directly or not.

dfe48ea179 blk-mq: use NOIO context to prevent deadlock during debugfs creation
Creating debugfs entries can trigger fs reclaim, which can enter back
into the block layer request_queue. This can cause deadlock if the
queue is frozen.

Previously, a WARN_ON_ONCE check was used in debugfs_create_files()
to detect this condition, but it was racy since the queue can be frozen
from another context at any time.

Introduce blk_debugfs_lock()/blk_debugfs_unlock() helpers that combine
the debugfs_mutex with memalloc_noio_save()/restore() to prevent fs
reclaim from triggering block I/O. Also add blk_debugfs_lock_nomemsave()
and blk_debugfs_unlock_nomemrestore() variants for callers that don't
need NOIO protection (e.g., debugfs removal or read-only operations).

Replace all raw debugfs_mutex lock/unlock pairs with these helpers,
using the _nomemsave/_nomemrestore variants where appropriate.

2d10a48871 Probes for v7.0
- kprobes: Use a dedicated kernel thread to optimize the kprobes
   instead of using workqueue thread. Since the kprobe optimizer waits
   a long time for synchronize_rcu_task(), it can block other workers
   in the same queue if it uses a workqueue.
 
 - kprobe-events: Returns immediately if no new probe events are
   specified on the kernel command line at boot time. This shorten the
   kernel boot time.
 
 - kprobes: When a kprobe is fully removed from the kernel code,
   retry optimizing another kprobe which is blocked by that kprobe.

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.

53b2fae90f function_graph: Restore direct mode when callbacks drop to one
When registering a second fgraph callback, direct path is disabled and
array loop is used instead.  When ftrace_graph_active falls back to one,
we try to re-enable direct mode via ftrace_graph_enable_direct(true, ...).
But ftrace_graph_enable_direct() incorrectly disables the static key
rather than enabling it.  This leaves fgraph_do_direct permanently off
after first multi-callback transition, so direct fast mode is never
restored.

   Complete refactor of da_monitor.h to reduce reliance on macros

   The change essentially relies on functions with generic names (e.g.

f743435f98 tracing: Fix false sharing in hwlat get_sample()
The get_sample() function in the hwlat tracer assumes the caller holds
hwlat_data.lock, but this is not actually happening. The result is
unprotected data access to hwlat_data, and in per-cpu mode can result in
false sharing which may show up as false positive latency events.

The specific case of false sharing observed was primarily between
hwlat_data.sample_width and hwlat_data.count. These are separated by
just 8B and are therefore likely to share a cache line. When one thread
modifies count, the cache line is in a modified state so when other
threads read sample_width in the main latency detection loop, they fetch
the modified cache line. On some systems, the fetch itself may be slow
enough to count as a latency event, which could set up a self
reinforcing cycle of latency events as each event increments count which
then causes more latency events, continuing the cycle.

The other result of the unprotected data access is that hwlat_data.count
can end up with duplicate or missed values, which was observed on some
systems in testing.

Convert hwlat_data.count to atomic64_t so it can be safely modified
without locking, and prevent false sharing by pulling sample_width into
a local variable.

One system this was tested on was a dual socket server with 32 CPUs on
each numa node. With settings of 1us threshold, 1000us width, and
2000us window, this change reduced the number of latency events from
500 per second down to approximately 1 event per minute. Some machines
tested did not exhibit measurable latency from the false sharing.

c4f1fe47b1 tracing: Better separate SNAPSHOT and MAX_TRACE options
The latency tracers (scheduler, irqsoff, etc) were created when tracing
was first added. These tracers required a "snapshot" buffer that was the
same size as the ring buffer being written to. When a new max latency was
hit, the main ring buffer would swap with the snapshot buffer so that the
trace leading up to the latency would be saved in the snapshot buffer (The
snapshot buffer is never written to directly and the data within it can be
viewed without fear of being overwritten).

Later, a new feature was added to allow snapshots to be taken by user
space or even event triggers. This created a "snapshot" file that allowed
users to trigger a snapshot from user space to save the current trace.

The config for this new feature (CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT) would select the
latency tracer config (CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_LATENCY) as it would need all the
functionality from it as it already existed. But this was incorrect. As
the snapshot feature is really what the latency tracers need and not the
other way around.

Have CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE select CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT where the
tracers that needs the max latency buffer selects the TRACE_MAX_TRACE
which will then select TRACER_SNAPSHOT.

Also, go through trace.c and trace.h and make the code that only needs the
TRACER_MAX_TRACE protected by that and the code that always requires the
snapshot to be protected by TRACER_SNAPSHOT.

694b3f6fe0 tracing: Rename trace_array field max_buffer to snapshot_buffer
When tracing was first added, there were latency tracers that would take a
snapshot of the current trace when a new max latency was hit. This
snapshot buffer was called "max_buffer". Since then, a snapshot feature
was added that allowed user space or event triggers to trigger a snapshot
of the current buffer using the same max_buffer of the trace_array.

As this snapshot buffer now has a more generic use case, calling it
"max_buffer" is confusing. Rename it to snapshot_buffer.

98021e37d6 tracing: Move pid filtering into trace_pid.c
The trace.c file was a dumping ground for most tracing code. Start
organizing it better by moving various functions out into their own files.
Move the PID filtering functions from trace.c into its own trace_pid.c
file.

af1eea12ad tracing: Use system_state in trace_printk_init_buffers()
The function trace_printk_init_buffers() is used to expand tha
trace_printk buffers when trace_printk() is used within the kernel or in
modules. On kernel boot up, it holds off from starting the sched switch
cmdline recorder, but will start it immediately when it is added by a
module.

Currently it uses a trick to see if the global_trace buffer has been
allocated or not to know if it was called by module load or not. But this
is more of a hack, and can not be used when this code is moved out of
trace.c. Instead simply look at the system_state and if it is running then
it is know that it could only be called by module load.

f377912b3d tracing: Have trace_printk functions use flags instead of using global_trace
The trace.c file has become a dumping ground for all tracing code and has
become quite large. In order to move the trace_printk functions out of it
these functions can not access global_trace directly, as that is something
that needs to stay static in trace.c.

Instead of testing the trace_array tr pointer to &global_trace, test the
tr->flags to see if TRACE_ARRAY_FL_GLOBAL set.

Have tracing_update_buffers() take NULL for its trace_array to denote it

to be used outside of trace.c and still update the global_trace
trace_array.

1c53d781d4 tracing: Make printk_trace global for tracing system
The printk_trace is used to determine which trace_array trace_printk()
writes to. By making it a global variable among the tracing subsystem it
will allow the trace_printk functions to be moved out of trace.c and still
have direct access to that variable.

The file trace.c has become a catchall for most things tracing. Start
making it smaller by breaking out various aspects into their own files.

Make ftrace_trace_stack() into a static inline that tests if stack tracing
is enabled and if so to call __ftrace_trace_stack() to do the stack trace.
This keeps the test inlined in the fast paths and only does the function
call if stack tracing is enabled.

Move the __always_inline functions __trace_buffer_lock_reserve(),

64dee86ad7 tracing: Make tracing_disabled global for tracing system
The tracing_disabled variable is set to one on boot up to prevent some
parts of tracing to access the tracing infrastructure before it is set up.
It also can be set after boot if an anomaly is discovered.

It is currently a static variable in trace.c and can be accessed via a
function call trace_is_disabled(). There's really no reason to use a
function call as the tracing subsystem should be able to access it
directly.

By making the variable accessed directly, code can be moved out of trace.c
without adding overhead of a function call to see if tracing is disabled
or not.

Make tracing_disabled global and remove the tracing_is_disabled() helper
function. Also add some "unlikely()"s around tracing_disabled where it's
checked in hot paths.

ba73713da5 tracing: Clean up use of trace_create_maxlat_file()
In trace.c, the function trace_create_maxlat_file() is defined behind the
 #ifdef CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE block. The #else part defines it as:

 #define trace_create_maxlat_file(tr, d_tracer)				\
	trace_create_file("tracing_max_latency", TRACE_MODE_WRITE,	\
			  d_tracer, tr, &tracing_max_lat_fops)

But the one place that it it used has:

 #ifdef CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE
	trace_create_maxlat_file(tr, d_tracer);
 #endif

Which is pointless and also wrong!

It only gets created when both CONFIG_TRACE_MAX_TRACE and CONFIG_FS_NOTIFY
is defined, but the file itself should not be dependent on
CONFIG_FS_NOTIFY. Always create that file when TRACE_MAX_TRACE is defined
regardless if FS_NOTIFY is or is not.

c8b039c3e3 tracing: Have all triggers expect a file parameter

parameter passed to them and things needed to be done generically.

generic code and add a "if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!file))" to each trigger.

2cdfe39dc9 tracing/kprobes: Skip setup_boot_kprobe_events() when no cmdline event
When the 'kprobe_event=' kernel command-line parameter is not provided,
there is no need to execute setup_boot_kprobe_events().

This change optimizes the initialization function init_kprobe_trace()
by skipping unnecessary work and effectively prevents potential blocking
that could arise from contention on the event_mutex lock in subsequent
operations.

0c2580a809 blktrace: Make init_blk_tracer() asynchronous
The init_blk_tracer() function causes significant boot delay as it
waits for the trace_event_sem lock held by trace_event_update_all().
Specifically, its child function register_trace_event() requires
this lock, which is occupied for an extended period during boot.

To resolve this, the execution of primary init_blk_tracer() is moved
to the trace_init_wq workqueue, allowing it to run asynchronously,
and prevent blocking the main boot thread.
