Pull the base implementation of ktime_get_clock_ts64() for PTP, which
contains a temporary CLOCK_AUX* workaround. That was created to allow
integration of depending changes into the networking tree. The workaround
is going to be removed in a subsequent change in the timekeeping tree.

PTP implements an inline switch case for taking timestamps from various
POSIX clock IDs, which already consumes quite some text space. Expanding it
for auxiliary clocks really becomes too big for inlining.
Provide a out of line version.
The function invalidates the timestamp in case the clock is invalid. The
invalidation allows to implement a validation check without the need to
propagate a return value through deep existing call chains.
Due to merge logistics this temporarily defines CLOCK_AUX[_LAST] if
undefined, so that the plain branch, which does not contain any of the core
timekeeper changes, can be pulled into the networking tree as prerequisite
for the PTP side changes. These temporary defines are removed after that
branch is merged into the tip::timers/ptp branch. That way the result in
-next or upstream in the next merge window has zero dependencies.

In __timekeeping_advance() the pointer to struct tk_data is hardcoded by the
use of &tk_core. As long as there is only a single timekeeper (tk_core),
this is not a problem. But when __timekeeping_advance() will be reused for
per auxiliary timekeepers, __timekeeping_advance() needs to be generalized.
Add a pointer to struct tk_data as function argument of
__timekeeping_advance() and adapt all call sites.

To support auxiliary timekeeping and the related user space interfaces,
it's required to define a clock ID range for them.
Reserve 8 auxiliary clock IDs after the regular timekeeping clock ID space.
This is the maximum number of auxiliary clocks the kernel can support. The actual
number of supported clocks depends obviously on the presence of related devices
and might be constraint by the available VDSO space.
Add the corresponding timekeeper IDs as well.

As long as there is only a single timekeeper, there is no need to clarify
which timekeeper is used. But with the upcoming reusage of the timekeeper
infrastructure for auxiliary clock timekeepers, an ID is required to
differentiate.
Introduce an enum for timekeeper IDs, introduce a field in struct tk_data
to store this timekeeper id and add also initialization. The id struct
field is added at the end of the second cachline, as there is a 4 byte hole
anyway.

If an exiting non-autoreaping task has already passed exit_notify() and
calls handle_posix_cpu_timers() from IRQ, it can be reaped by its parent
or debugger right after unlock_task_sighand().
If a concurrent posix_cpu_timer_del() runs at that moment, it won't be
able to detect timer->it.cpu.firing != 0: cpu_timer_task_rcu() and/or
lock_task_sighand() will fail.
Add the tsk->exit_state check into run_posix_cpu_timers() to fix this.
This fix is not needed if CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK=y, because
exit_task_work() is called before exit_notify(). But the check still
makes sense, task_work_add(&tsk->posix_cputimers_work.work) will fail
anyway in this case.

Pull more tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix regression of waiting a long time on updating trace event filters
When the faultable trace points were added, it needed task trace RCU
synchronization.
This was added to the tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() function.
The filter logic always called this function whenever it updated the
trace event filters before freeing the old filters. This increased
the time of "trace-cmd record" from taking 13 seconds to running over
2 minutes to complete.
Move the freeing of the filters to call_rcu*() logic, which brings
the time back down to 13 seconds.
- Fix ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() error path lock protection
The error path of the ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() released the
mutex too early and allowed subsequent accesses to setting the
subbuffer size to corrupt the data and cause a bug.
By moving the mutex locking to the end of the error path, it prevents
the reentrant access to the critical data and also allows the
function to convert the taking of the mutex over to the guard()
logic.
- Remove unused power management clock events
The clock events were added in 2010 for power management. In 2011 arm
used them. In 2013 the code they were used in was removed. These
events have been wasting memory since then.
- Fix sparse warnings

where file->filter was referenced directly, but it is annotated with
an __rcu tag. Use the helper functions and fix them up to use

When faultable trace events were added, a trace event may no longer use
normal RCU to synchronize but instead used synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace().
This synchronization takes a much longer time to synchronize.
The filter logic would free the filters by calling
tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() after it unhooked the filter strings
and before freeing them. With this function now calling
synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() this increased the time to free a filter
tremendously. On a PREEMPT_RT system, it was even more noticeable.
# time trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1
[..]
real 2m29.052s
user 0m0.244s
sys 0m20.136s
As trace-cmd would clear out all the filters before recording, it could
take up to 2 minutes to do a recording of "sleep 1".
To find out where the issues was:
~# trace-cmd sqlhist -e -n sched_stack select start.prev_state as state, end.next_comm as comm, TIMESTAMP_DELTA_USECS as delta, start.STACKTRACE as stack from sched_switch as start join sched_switch as end on start.prev_pid = end.next_pid
Which will produce the following commands (and -e will also execute them):
echo 's:sched_stack s64 state; char comm[16]; u64 delta; unsigned long stack[];' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events
echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid:__arg_18057_2=prev_state,__arg_18057_4=common_timestamp.usecs,__arg_18057_7=common_stacktrace' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:__state_18057_1=$__arg_18057_2,__comm_18057_3=next_comm,__delta_18057_5=common_timestamp.usecs-$__arg_18057_4,__stack_18057_6=$__arg_18057_7:onmatch(sched.sched_switch).trace(sched_stack,$__state_18057_1,$__comm_18057_3,$__delta_18057_5,$__stack_18057_6)' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
The above creates a synthetic event that creates a stack trace when a task
schedules out and records it with the time it scheduled back in. Basically
the time a task is off the CPU. It also records the state of the task when
it left the CPU (running, blocked, sleeping, etc). It also saves the comm
of the task as "comm" (needed for the next command).
~# echo 'hist:keys=state,stack.stacktrace:vals=delta:sort=state,delta if comm == "trace-cmd" && state & 3' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/sched_stack/trigger
The above creates a histogram with buckets per state, per stack, and the
value of the total time it was off the CPU for that stack trace. It filters
on tasks with "comm == trace-cmd" and only the sleeping and blocked states
(1 - sleeping, 2 - blocked).
~# trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1
~# cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/synthetic/sched_stack/hist | tail -18

This shows that this particular trace waited for 99 seconds on
synchronize_rcu_tasks() in apply_subsystem_event_filter().
In fact, there's a lot of places in the filter code that spends a lot of
time waiting for synchronize_rcu_tasks_trace() in order to free the
filters.
Add helper functions that will use call_rcu*() variants to asynchronously
free the filters. This brings the timings back to normal:
# time trace-cmd record -p function sleep 1
[..]
real 0m14.681s
user 0m0.335s
sys 0m28.616s

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

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix UAF in module unload in ftrace when there's a bug in the module
If a module is buggy and triggers ftrace_disable which is set when an
anomaly is detected, when it gets unloaded it doesn't free the hooks
into kallsyms, and when a kallsyms lookup is performed it may access
the mod->modname field and crash via UAF.
Fix this by still freeing the mod_maps that are attached to kallsyms
on module unload regardless if ftrace_disable is set or not.
- Do not bother allocating mod_maps for kallsyms if ftrace_disable is
set
- Remove unused trace events
When a trace event or tracepoint is created but not used, it still
creates the code and data structures needed for that trace event.
This just wastes memory.
Remove the trace events that are created but not used. This does not
remove trace events that are created but are not used due configs not
being set. That will be handled later. This only removes events that
have no user under any config.
