Implement bpf_send_signal_task kfunc that is similar to
bpf_send_signal_thread and bpf_send_signal helpers but can be used to
send signals to other threads and processes. It also supports sending a
cookie with the signal similar to sigqueue().
If the receiving process establishes a handler for the signal using the
SA_SIGINFO flag to sigaction(), then it can obtain this cookie via the
si_value field of the siginfo_t structure passed as the second argument
to the handler.

"A couple of fixes to function graph infrastructure:
- Fix allocation of idle shadow stack allocation during hotplug
If function graph tracing is started when a CPU is offline, if it
were come online during the trace then the idle task that
represents the CPU will not get a shadow stack allocated for it.
This means all function graph hooks that happen while that idle
task is running (including in interrupt mode) will have all its
events dropped.
Switch over to the CPU hotplug mechanism that will have any newly
brought on line CPU get a callback that can allocate the shadow
stack for its idle task.
- Fix allocation size of the ret_stack_list array
When function graph tracing converted over to allowing more than
one user at a time, it had to convert its shadow stack from an
array of ret_stack structures to an array of unsigned longs. The
shadow stacks are allocated in batches of 32 at a time and assigned
to every running task. The batch is held by the ret_stack_list
array.
But when the conversion happened, instead of allocating an array of
32 pointers, it was allocated as a ret_stack itself (PAGE_SIZE).
This ret_stack_list gets passed to a function that iterates over
what it believes is its size defined by the
FTRACE_RETSTACK_ALLOC_SIZE macro (which is 32).
Luckily (PAGE_SIZE) is greater than 32 * sizeof(long), otherwise
this would have been an array overflow. This still should be fixed
and the ret_stack_list should be allocated to the size it is
expected to be as someday it may end up being bigger than
SHADOW_STACK_SIZE"

The function rb_check_pages() validates the integrity of a specified
per-CPU tracing ring buffer. It does so by traversing the underlying
linked list and checking its next and prev links.
To guarantee that the list isn't modified during the check, a caller
typically needs to take cpu_buffer->reader_lock. This prevents the check
from running concurrently, for example, with a potential reader which
can make the list temporarily inconsistent when swapping its old reader
page into the buffer.
A problem with this approach is that the time when interrupts are
disabled is non-deterministic, dependent on the ring buffer size. This
particularly affects PREEMPT_RT because the reader_lock is a raw
spinlock which doesn't become sleepable on PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Modify the check so it still attempts to traverse the entire list, but
gives up the reader_lock between checking individual pages. Introduce
for this purpose a new variable ring_buffer_per_cpu.cnt which is bumped
any time the list is modified. The value is used by rb_check_pages() to
detect such a change and restart the check.

The ret_stack_list is an array of ret_stack shadow stacks for the function
graph usage. When the first function graph is enabled, all tasks in the
system get a shadow stack. The ret_stack_list is a 32 element array of
pointers to these shadow stacks. It allocates the shadow stack in batches
(32 stacks at a time), assigns them to running tasks, and continues until
all tasks are covered.
When the function graph shadow stack changed from an array of
ftrace_ret_stack structures to an array of longs, the allocation of
ret_stack_list went from allocating an array of 32 elements to just a
block defined by SHADOW_STACK_SIZE. Luckily, that's defined as PAGE_SIZE
and is much more than enough to hold 32 pointers. But it is way overkill
for the amount needed to allocate.
Change the allocation of ret_stack_list back to a kcalloc() of
FTRACE_RETSTACK_ALLOC_SIZE pointers.

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The function graph infrastructure allocates a shadow stack for every task
when enabled. This includes the idle tasks. The first time the function
graph is invoked, the shadow stacks are created and never freed until the
task exits. This includes the idle tasks.
Only the idle tasks that were for online CPUs had their shadow stacks
created when function graph tracing started. If function graph tracing is
enabled and a CPU comes online, the idle task representing that CPU will
not have its shadow stack created, and all function graph tracing for that
idle task will be silently dropped.
Instead, use the CPU hotplug mechanism to allocate the idle shadow stacks.
This will include idle tasks for CPUs that come online during tracing.
This issue can be reproduced by:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
# echo 0 > set_ftrace_pid
# echo function_graph > current_tracer
# echo 1 > options/funcgraph-proc
# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1
# grep '<idle>' per_cpu/cpu1/trace | head
Before, nothing would show up.
After:
1) <idle>-0 | 0.811 us | __enqueue_entity();
1) <idle>-0 | 5.626 us | } /* enqueue_entity */
1) <idle>-0 | | dl_server_update_idle_time() {

1) <idle>-0 | | dl_server_start() {
1) <idle>-0 | | enqueue_dl_entity() {
1) <idle>-0 | | task_contending() {
Note, if tracing stops and restarts, the old way would then initialize
the onlined CPUs.

A ring buffer which has its buffered mapped at boot up to fixed memory
should not be freed. Other buffers can be. The ref counting setup was
wrong for both. It made the not mapped buffers ref count have zero, and the
boot mapped buffer a ref count of 1. But an normally allocated buffer
should be 1, where it can be removed.
Keep the ref count of a normal boot buffer with its setup ref count (do
not decrement it), and increment the fixed memory boot mapped buffer's ref
count.

mis-classifying preemption vs blocking.
Notably p->on_rq is no longer sufficient to determine if a task is
runnable or blocked -- the aforementioned commit introduces tasks that
remain on the runqueue even through they will not run again, and
should be considered blocked for many cases.
Add the task_is_runnable() helper to classify things and audit all
external users of the p->on_rq state. Also add a few comments.

Previously when retrieving `bpf_link_info.uprobe_multi` with `path` and
`path_size` fields unset, the `path_size` field is not populated
(remains 0). This behavior was inconsistent with how other input/output
string buffer fields work, as the field should be populated in cases
when:
- both buffer and length are set (currently works as expected)
- both buffer and length are unset (not working as expected)
This patch now fills the `path_size` field when `path` and `path_size`

When a tracepoint event is created with attr.freq = 1,
'hwc->period_left' is not initialized correctly. As a result,
in the perf_swevent_overflow() function, when the first time the event occurs,
it calculates the event overflow and the perf_swevent_set_period() returns 3,
this leads to the event are recorded for three duplicate times.
Step to reproduce:
1. Enable the tracepoint event & starting tracing
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/module/module_free
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
2. Record with perf
$ perf record -a --strict-freq -F 1 -e "module:module_free"
3. Trigger module_free event.
$ modprobe -i sunrpc
$ modprobe -r sunrpc
Result:
- Trace pipe result:
$ cat trace_pipe
modprobe-174509 [003] ..... 6504.868896: module_free: sunrpc
- perf sample:

modprobe 174509 [003] 6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc
By setting period_left via perf_swevent_set_period() as other sw_event did,
This problem could be solved.

When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function
execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code
where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more
time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long.
This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address
of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs.
To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return
value, while '<-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to
make it look more like the function tracer.
A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the
existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return
address.
See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled.

After tracing the scheduling event, it was discovered that the migration
of the "timerlat/1" thread was performed during thread creation. Further
analysis confirmed that it is because the CPU online processing for
osnoise is implemented through workers, which is asynchronous with the
offline processing. When the worker was scheduled to create a thread, the
CPU may has already been removed from the cpu_online_mask during the offline
process, resulting in the inability to select the right CPU:
T1 | T2
[CPUHP_ONLINE] | cpu_device_down()
osnoise_hotplug_workfn() |
| cpus_write_lock()
| takedown_cpu(1)
| cpus_write_unlock()
[CPUHP_OFFLINE] |
cpus_read_lock() |
start_kthread(1) |
cpus_read_unlock() |
To fix this, skip online processing if the CPU is already offline.

When the tp_printk kernel command line is used, the trace events go
directly to printk(). It is still checked via the trace_check_vprintf()
function to make sure the pointers of the trace event are legit.
The addition of reading buffers from previous boots required adding a
delta between the addresses of the previous boot and the current boot so
that the pointers in the old buffer can still be used. But this required
adding a trace_array pointer to acquire the delta offsets.
The tp_printk code does not provide a trace_array (tr) pointer, so when
the offsets were examined, a NULL pointer dereference happened and the
kernel crashed.
If the trace_array does not exist, just default the delta offsets to zero,
as that also means the trace event is not being read from a previous boot.

graph and profiler entry functions will save it in its own graph storage and
retrieve it in its exit functions.

The fgraph "sleep-time" option tells the function graph tracer and the
profiler whether to include the time a function "sleeps" (is scheduled off
the CPU) in its duration for the function. By default it is true, which
means the duration of a function is calculated by the timestamp of when the
function was entered to the timestamp of when it exits.
If the "sleep-time" option is disabled, it needs to remove the time that the
task was not running on the CPU during the function. Currently it is done in
a sched_switch tracepoint probe where it moves the "calltime" (time of entry
of the function) forward by the sleep time calculated. It updates all the
calltime in the shadow stack.
This is time consuming for those users of the function graph tracer that
does not care about the sleep time. Instead, add a "ftrace_sleeptime" to the
task_struct that gets the sleep time added each time the task wakes up. Then
have the function entry save the current "ftrace_sleeptime" and on function
exit, move the calltime forward by the difference of the current
"ftrace_sleeptime" from the saved sleeptime.
This removes one dependency of "calltime" needed to be on the shadow stack.
It also simplifies the code that removes the sleep time of functions.
TODO: Only enable the sched_switch tracepoint when this is needed.

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b144
("fs: remove no_llseek")
To quote that commit,
At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek -
git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do
sed -i '/\<no_llseek\>/d' $i
done
would do it.
Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so
that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the
form
.llseek = no_llseek,
so it's obviously safe.

Note: since the kernel does not have any information about the tracepoints
in the unloaded modules, fprobe events can not check whether the tracepoint
exists nor extend the BTF based arguments.

trace_uprobe->nhit counter is not incremented atomically, so its value
is questionable in when uprobe is hit on multiple CPUs simultaneously.
Also, doing this shared counter increment across many CPUs causes heavy
cache line bouncing, limiting uprobe/uretprobe performance scaling with
number of CPUs.
Solve both problems by making this a per-CPU counter.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- tracing/ring-buffer: persistent buffer across reboots
This allows for the tracing instance ring buffer to stay persistent
across reboots. The way this is done is by adding to the kernel
command line:
trace_instance=boot_map@0x285400000:12M
This will reserve 12 megabytes at the address 0x285400000, and then
map the tracing instance "boot_map" ring buffer to that memory. This
will appear as a normal instance in the tracefs system:
/sys/kernel/tracing/instances/boot_map
A user could enable tracing in that instance, and on reboot or kernel
crash, if the memory is not wiped by the firmware, it will recreate
the trace in that instance. For example, if one was debugging a
shutdown of a kernel reboot:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# echo function > instances/boot_map/current_tracer
# reboot
[..]
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# tail instances/boot_map/trace

On reboot, the buffer is examined to make sure it is valid. The
validation check even steps through every event to make sure the meta
data of the event is correct. If any test fails, it will simply reset
the buffer, and the buffer will be empty on boot.
- Allow the tracing persistent boot buffer to use the "reserve_mem"
option
Instead of having the admin find a physical address to store the
persistent buffer, which can be very tedious if they have to
administrate several different machines, allow them to use the
"reserve_mem" option that will find a location for them. It is not as
reliable because of KASLR, as the loading of the kernel in different
locations can cause the memory allocated to be inconsistent. Booting
with "nokaslr" can make reserve_mem more reliable.
- Have function graph tracer handle offsets from a previous boot.
The ring buffer output from a previous boot may have different
addresses due to kaslr. Have the function graph tracer handle these
by using the delta from the previous boot to the new boot address
space.
- Only reset the saved meta offset when the buffer is started or reset
In the persistent memory meta data, it holds the previous address
space information, so that it can calculate the delta to have
function tracing work. But this gets updated after being read to hold
the new address space. But if the buffer isn't used for that boot, on
reboot, the delta is now calculated from the previous boot and not
the boot that holds the data in the ring buffer. This causes the
functions not to be shown. Do not save the address space information
of the current kernel until it is being recorded.
- Add a magic variable to test the valid meta data
Add a magic variable in the meta data that can also be used for
validation. The validator of the previous buffer doesn't need this
magic data, but it can be used if the meta data is changed by a new
kernel, which may have the same format that passes the validator but
is used differently. This magic number can also be used as a
"versioning" of the meta data.
- Align user space mapped ring buffer sub buffers to improve TLB
entries
Linus mentioned that the mapped ring buffer sub buffers were
misaligned between the meta page and the sub-buffers, so that if the
sub-buffers were bigger than PAGE_SIZE, it wouldn't allow the TLB to
use bigger entries.
- Add new kernel command line "traceoff" to disable tracing on boot for
instances
If tracing is enabled for a boot instance, there needs a way to be
able to disable it on boot so that new events do not get entered into
the ring buffer and be mixed with events from a previous boot, as
that can be confusing.
- Allow trace_printk() to go to other instances
Currently, trace_printk() can only go to the top level instance. When
debugging with a persistent buffer, it is really useful to be able to
add trace_printk() to go to that buffer, so that you have access to
them after a crash.
- Do not use "bin_printk()" for traces to a boot instance
The bin_printk() saves only a pointer to the printk format in the
ring buffer, as the reader of the buffer can still have access to it.
But this is not the case if the buffer is from a previous boot. If
the trace_printk() is going to a "persistent" buffer, it will use the
slower version that writes the printk format into the buffer.
- Add command line option to allow trace_printk() to go to an instance
Allow the kernel command line to define which instance the
trace_printk() goes to, instead of forcing the admin to set it for
every boot via the tracefs options.
- Start a document that explains how to use tracefs to debug the kernel
- Add some more kernel selftests to test user mapped ring buffer

Pull bpf updates from Alexei Starovoitov:
- Introduce '__attribute__((bpf_fastcall))' for helpers and kfuncs with
corresponding support in LLVM.
It is similar to existing 'no_caller_saved_registers' attribute in
GCC/LLVM with a provision for backward compatibility. It allows
compilers generate more efficient BPF code assuming the verifier or
JITs will inline or partially inline a helper/kfunc with such
attribute. bpf_cast_to_kern_ctx, bpf_rdonly_cast,
bpf_get_smp_processor_id are the first set of such helpers.
- Harden and extend ELF build ID parsing logic.
When called from sleepable context the relevants parts of ELF file
will be read to find and fetch .note.gnu.build-id information. Also
harden the logic to avoid TOCTOU, overflow, out-of-bounds problems.

- Allow passing BPF iterators as kfunc arguments
- Make the pointer returned from iter_next method trusted
- Fix x86 JIT convergence issue due to growing/shrinking conditional
jumps in variable length encoding
