The kvfree_rcu() macro's single-argument form is deprecated. Therefore
switch to the new kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() variant. The goal is to
avoid accidental use of the single-argument forms, which can introduce
functionality bugs in atomic contexts and latency bugs in non-atomic
contexts.

The kernel command line ftrace_boot_snapshot by itself is supposed to
trigger a snapshot at the end of boot up of the main top level trace
buffer. A ftrace_boot_snapshot=foo will do the same for an instance called
foo that was created by trace_instance=foo,...
The logic was broken where if ftrace_boot_snapshot was by itself, it would
trigger a snapshot for all instances that had tracing enabled, regardless
if it asked for a snapshot or not.
When a snapshot is requested for a buffer, the buffer's
tr->allocated_snapshot is set to true. Use that to know if a trace buffer
wants a snapshot at boot up or not.
Since the top level buffer is part of the ftrace_trace_arrays list,
there's no reason to treat it differently than the other buffers. Just
iterate the list if ftrace_boot_snapshot was specified.

When user reads file 'trace_pipe', kernel keeps printing following logs
that warn at "cpu_buffer->reader_page->read > rb_page_size(reader)" in
rb_get_reader_page(). It just looks like there's an infinite loop in
tracing_read_pipe(). This problem occurs several times on arm64 platform
when testing v5.10 and below.
Call trace:
rb_get_reader_page+0x248/0x1300
rb_buffer_peek+0x34/0x160
ring_buffer_peek+0xbc/0x224

el0_sync_handler+0xb0/0xb4
el0_sync+0x160/0x180
Then I dump the vmcore and look into the problematic per_cpu ring_buffer,
I found that tail_page/commit_page/reader_page are on the same page while
reader_page->read is obviously abnormal:
tail_page == commit_page == reader_page == {
.write = 0x100d20,
.read = 0x8f9f4805, // Far greater than 0xd20, obviously abnormal!!!
.entries = 0x10004c,
.real_end = 0x0,
.page = {
.time_stamp = 0x857257416af0,
.commit = 0xd20, // This page hasn't been full filled.
// .data[0...0xd20] seems normal.
}
}
The root cause is most likely the race that reader and writer are on the
same page while reader saw an event that not fully committed by writer.
To fix this, add memory barriers to make sure the reader can see the
content of what is committed. Since commit a0fcaaed0c ("ring-buffer: Fix
race between reset page and reading page") has added the read barrier in
rb_get_reader_page(), here we just need to add the write barrier.

The user events was added a bit prematurely, and there were a few kernel
developers that had issues with it. The API also needed a bit of work to
make sure it would be stable. It was decided to make user events "broken"
until this was settled. Now it has a new API that appears to be as stable
as it will be without the use of a crystal ball. It's being used within
Microsoft as is, which means the API has had some testing in real world
use cases. It went through many discussions in the bi-weekly tracing
meetings, and there's been no more comments about updates.
I feel this is good to go.

Operators want to be able to ensure enough tracepoints exist on the
system for kernel components as well as for user components. Since there
are only up to 64K events, by default allow up to half to be used by
user events.
Add a kernel sysctl parameter (kernel.user_events_max) to set a global
limit that is honored among all groups on the system. This ensures hard
limits can be setup to prevent user processes from consuming all event
IDs on the system.

Enablements are now tracked by the lifetime of the task/mm. User
processes need to be able to disable their addresses if tracing is
requested to be turned off. Before unmapping the page would suffice.
However, we now need a stronger contract. Add an ioctl to enable this.
A new flag bit is added, freeing, to user_event_enabler to ensure that
if the event is attempted to be removed while a fault is being handled
that the remove is delayed until after the fault is reattempted.

When events are enabled within the various tracing facilities, such as
ftrace/perf, the event_mutex is held. As events are enabled pages are
accessed. We do not want page faults to occur under this lock. Instead
queue the fault to a workqueue to be handled in a process context safe
way without the lock.
The enable address is marked faulting while the async fault-in occurs.
This ensures that we don't attempt to fault-in more than is necessary.
Once the page has been faulted in, an address write is re-attempted.
If the page couldn't fault-in, then we wait until the next time the
event is enabled to prevent any potential infinite loops.

As part of the discussions for user_events aligned with user space
tracers, it was determined that user programs should register a aligned
value to set or clear a bit when an event becomes enabled. Currently a
shared page is being used that requires mmap(). Remove the shared page
implementation and move to a user registered address implementation.
In this new model during the event registration from user programs 3 new
values are specified. The first is the address to update when the event
is either enabled or disabled. The second is the bit to set/clear to
reflect the event being enabled. The third is the size of the value at
the specified address.
This allows for a local 32/64-bit value in user programs to support
both kernel and user tracers. As an example, setting bit 31 for kernel
tracers when the event becomes enabled allows for user tracers to use
the other bits for ref counts or other flags. The kernel side updates
the bit atomically, user programs need to also update these values
atomically.
User provided addresses must be aligned on a natural boundary, this
allows for single page checking and prevents odd behaviors such as a
enable value straddling 2 pages instead of a single page. Currently
page faults are only logged, future patches will handle these.

When debugging a crash that appears to be related to ftrace, but not for
sure, it is useful to know if a function was ever enabled by ftrace or
not. It could be that a BPF program was attached to it, or possibly a live
patch.
We are having crashes in the field where this information is not always
known. But having ftrace set a flag if a function has ever been attached
since boot up helps tremendously in trying to know if a crash had to do
with something using ftrace.
For analyzing crashes, the use of a kdump image can have access to the
flags. When looking at issues where the kernel did not panic, the
touched_functions file can simply be used.

Use try_cmpxchg instead of cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) == old.
x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so this change
saves a compare after cmpxchg (and related move instruction in
front of cmpxchg).
Also, try_cmpxchg implicitly assigns old *ptr value to "old" when cmpxchg
fails. There is no need to re-read the value in the loop.

The ftrace selftest code has a trace_direct_tramp() function which it
uses as a direct call trampoline. This happens to work on x86, since the
direct call's return address is in the usual place, and can be returned
to via a RET, but in general the calling convention for direct calls is
different from regular function calls, and requires a trampoline written
in assembly.
On s390, regular function calls place the return address in %r14, and an
ftrace patch-site in an instrumented function places the trampoline's
return address (which is within the instrumented function) in %r0,
preserving the original %r14 value in-place. As a regular C function
will return to the address in %r14, using a C function as the trampoline
results in the trampoline returning to the caller of the instrumented
function, skipping the body of the instrumented function.
Note that the s390 issue is not detcted by the ftrace selftest code, as
the instrumented function is trivial, and returning back into the caller
happens to be equivalent.
On arm64, regular function calls place the return address in x30, and
an ftrace patch-site in an instrumented function saves this into r9
and places the trampoline's return address (within the instrumented
function) in x30. A regular C function will return to the address in
x30, but will not restore x9 into x30. Consequently, using a C function
as the trampoline results in returning to the trampoline's return
address having corrupted x30, such that when the instrumented function
returns, it will return back into itself.
To avoid future issues in this area, remove the trace_direct_tramp()
function, and require that each architecture with direct calls provides
a stub trampoline, named ftrace_stub_direct_tramp. This can be written
to handle the architecture's trampoline calling convention, and in
future could be used elsewhere (e.g. in the ftrace ops sample, to
measure the overhead of direct calls), so we may as well always build it
in.

Direct called trampolines can be called in two ways:
- either from the ftrace callsite. In this case, they do not access any
struct ftrace_regs nor pt_regs
- Or, if a ftrace ops is also attached, from the end of a ftrace
trampoline. In this case, the call_direct_funcs ops is in charge of
setting the direct call trampoline's address in a struct ftrace_regs
Since:
commit 9705bc7096 ("ftrace: pass fregs to arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller()")
The later case no longer requires a full pt_regs. It only needs a struct
ftrace_regs so DIRECT_CALLS can work with both WITH_ARGS or WITH_REGS.
With architectures like arm64 already abandoning WITH_REGS in favor of
WITH_ARGS, it's important to have DIRECT_CALLS work WITH_ARGS only.

All direct calls are now registered using the register_ftrace_direct API
so each ops can jump to only one direct-called trampoline.
By storing the direct called trampoline address directly in the ops we
can save one hashmap lookup in the direct call ops and implement arm64
direct calls on top of call ops.

A common pattern when using the ftrace_direct_multi API is to unregister
the ops and also immediately free its filter. We've noticed it's very
easy for users to miss calling ftrace_free_filter().
This adds a "free_filters" argument to unregister_ftrace_direct_multi()
to both remind the user they should free filters and also to make their
life easier.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix setting affinity of hwlat threads in containers
Using sched_set_affinity() has unwanted side effects when being
called within a container. Use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() instead
- Fix per cpu thread management of the hwlat tracer:
- Do not start per_cpu threads if one is already running for the CPU
- When starting per_cpu threads, do not clear the kthread variable
as it may already be set to running per cpu threads
- Fix return value for test_gen_kprobe_cmd()
On error the return value was overwritten by being set to the result
of the call from kprobe_event_delete(), which would likely succeed,
and thus have the function return success
- Fix splice() reads from the trace file that was broken by commit
36e2c7421f ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit
ops")
- Remove obsolete and confusing comment in ring_buffer.c
The original design of the ring buffer used struct page flags for
tricks to optimize, which was shortly removed due to them being
tricks. But a comment for those tricks remained
- Set local functions and variables to static

There is a problem with the behavior of hwlat in a container,
resulting in incorrect output. A warning message is generated:
"cpumask changed while in round-robin mode, switching to mode none",
and the tracing_cpumask is ignored. This issue arises because
the kernel thread, hwlatd, is not a part of the container, and
the function sched_setaffinity is unable to locate it using its PID.
Additionally, the task_struct of hwlatd is already known.
Ultimately, the function set_cpus_allowed_ptr achieves
the same outcome as sched_setaffinity, but employs task_struct
instead of PID.
Test case:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 0 > tracing_on
# echo round-robin > hwlat_detector/mode
# echo hwlat > current_tracer
# unshare --fork --pid bash -c 'echo 1 > tracing_on'

Don't check the ip when pg->index is 0.

The function hist_field_name() cannot handle being passed a NULL field
parameter. It should never be NULL, but due to a previous bug, NULL was
passed to the function and the kernel crashed due to a NULL dereference.
Mark Rutland reported this to me on IRC.
The bug was fixed, but to prevent future bugs from crashing the kernel,
check the field and add a WARN_ON() if it is NULL.
