Linus Torvalds 23b5d045ae tracing: Updates for v7.2:
- Remove a redundant IS_ERR() check
 
   trace_pipe_open() already checks for IS_ERR() and does it again in the
   return path. Remove the return check.
 
 - Export seq_buf_putmem_hex() to allow kunit tests against them
 
   To add Kunit tests on seq_buf_putmem_hex(), it needs to be exported.
 
 - Replace strcat() and strcpy() with seq_buf() logic
 
   The code for synthetic events uses a series of strcat() and strcpy() which
   can be error prone. Replace them with seq_buf() logic that does all the
   necessary bound checking.
 
 - Add a lockdep rcu_is_watching() to trace_##event##_enabled() call
 
   The trace_##event##_enabled() is a static branch that is true if the
   "event" is enabled. But this can hide bugs if this logic is in a location
   where RCU is disabled and not "watching". It would only trigger if lockdep
   is enabled and the event is enabled.
 
   Add a "rcu_is_watching()" warning if lockdep is enabled in that helper
   function to trigger regardless if the event is enabled or not.
 
 - Remove the local variable in the trace_printk() macro
 
   For name space integrity, remove the _______STR variable in the
   trace_printk() macro for using the sizeof() macro directly.
 
 - Use guard()s for the trace_recursion_record.c file
 
 - Fix typo in a comment of eventfs_callback() kerneldoc
 
 - Use trace_call__##event() in events called within trace_##event##_enabled()
 
   A couple of events are called within an if block guarded by
   trace_##event##_enabled(). That is a static key that is only enabled when
   the event is enabled. The trace_call_##event() calls the tracepoint code
   directly without adding a redundant static key for that check.
 
 - Allow perf to read synthetic events
 
   Currently, perf does not have the ability to enable a synthetic event. If
   it does, it will either cause a kernel warning or error with "No such
   device". Synthetic events are not much different than kprobes and perf can
   handle fine with a few modifications.
 
 - Replace printk(KERN_WARNING ...) with pr_warn()
 
 - Replace krealloc() on an array with krealloc_array()
 
 - Fix README file path name for synthetic events
 
 - Change tracing_map tracing_map_array to use a flexible array
 
   Instead of allocating a separate pointer to hold the pages field of
   tracing_map_array, allocate the pages field as a flexible array when
   allocating the structure.
 
 - Fold trace_iterator_increment() into trace_find_next_entry_inc()
 
   The function trace_iterator_increment() was only used by
   trace_find_next_entry_inc(). It's not big enough to be a helper function
   for one user. Fold it into its caller.
 
 - Make field_var_str field a flexible array of hist_elt_data
 
   Instead of allocating a separate pointer for the field_var_str array of
   the hist_elt_data structure, allocate it as a flexible array when
   allocating the structure.
 
 - Disable KCOV for trace_irqsoff.c
 
   Like trace_preemptirq.c, trace_irqsoff.c has code that will crash when
   KCOV is enabled on ARM. The irqsoff tracing can be called on ARM because
   the irqsoff tracing code can be run from early interrupt code and produce
   coverage unrelated to syscall inputs.
 
 - Fix warning in __unregister_ftrace_function() called by perf
 
   Perf calls unregister_ftrace_function() without checking if its ftrace_ops
   has already been unregistered. There's an error path where on clean up it
   will unregister the ftrace_ops even if it wasn't registered and causes a
   warning.
