The functions:
fetch_store_strlen_user()
fetch_store_strlen()
fetch_store_string_user()
fetch_store_string()
are identical in both trace_kprobe.c and trace_eprobe.c. Move them into
a new header file trace_probe_kernel.h to share it. This code will later
be used by the synthetic events as well.
Marked for stable as a fix for a crash in synthetic events requires it.

The function hooks (ftrace) is a completely different subsystem from the
general tracing. It manages how to attach callbacks to most functions in
the kernel. It is also used by live kernel patching. It really is not part
of tracing, although tracing uses it.
Create a separate entry for FUNCTION HOOKS (FTRACE) to be separate from
tracing itself in the MAINTAINERS file.
Perhaps it should be moved out of the kernel/trace directory, but that's
for another time.

The ftrace_boot_snapshot and alloc_snapshot cmdline options allocate the
snapshot buffer at boot up for use later. The ftrace_boot_snapshot in
particular requires the snapshot to be allocated because it will take a
snapshot at the end of boot up allowing to see the traces that happened
during boot so that it's not lost when user space takes over.
When a tracer is registered (started) there's a path that checks if it
requires the snapshot buffer or not, and if it does not and it was
allocated it will do a synchronization and free the snapshot buffer.
This is only required if the previous tracer was using it for "max
latency" snapshots, as it needs to make sure all max snapshots are
complete before freeing. But this is only needed if the previous tracer
was using the snapshot buffer for latency (like irqoff tracer and
friends). But it does not make sense to free it, if the previous tracer
was not using it, and the snapshot was allocated by the cmdline
parameters. This basically takes away the point of allocating it in the
first place!
Note, the allocated snapshot worked fine for just trace events, but fails
when a tracer is enabled on the cmdline.
Further investigation, this goes back even further and it does not require
a tracer on the cmdline to fail. Simply enable snapshots and then enable a
tracer, and it will remove the snapshot.

Weak functions started causing havoc as they showed up in the
"available_filter_functions" and this confused people as to why some
functions marked as "notrace" were listed, but when enabled they did
nothing. This was because weak functions can still have fentry calls, and
these addresses get added to the "available_filter_functions" file.
kallsyms is what converts those addresses to names, and since the weak
functions are not listed in kallsyms, it would just pick the function
before that.
To solve this, there was a trick to detect weak functions listed, and
these records would be marked as DISABLED so that they do not get enabled
and are mostly ignored. As the processing of the list of all functions to
figure out what is weak or not can take a long time, this process is put
off into a kernel thread and run in parallel with the rest of start up.
Now the issue happens whet function tracing is enabled via the kernel
command line. As it starts very early in boot up, it can be enabled before
the records that are weak are marked to be disabled. This causes an issue
in the accounting, as the weak records are enabled by the command line
function tracing, but after boot up, they are not disabled.
The ftrace records have several accounting flags and a ref count. The
DISABLED flag is just one. If the record is enabled before it is marked
DISABLED it will get an ENABLED flag and also have its ref counter
incremented. After it is marked for DISABLED, neither the ENABLED flag nor
the ref counter is cleared. There's sanity checks on the records that are
performed after an ftrace function is registered or unregistered, and this
detected that there were records marked as ENABLED with ref counter that
should not have been.
Note, the module loading code uses the DISABLED flag as well to keep its
functions from being modified while its being loaded and some of these
flags may get set in this process. So changing the verification code to
ignore DISABLED records is a no go, as it still needs to verify that the
module records are working too.
Also, the weak functions still are calling a trampoline. Even though they
should never be called, it is dangerous to leave these weak functions
calling a trampoline that is freed, so they should still be set back to
nops.
There's two places that need to not skip records that have the ENABLED
and the DISABLED flags set. That is where the ftrace_ops is processed and
sets the records ref counts, and then later when the function itself is to
be updated, and the ENABLED flag gets removed. Add a helper function
"skip_record()" that returns true if the record has the DISABLED flag set
but not the ENABLED flag.

In order to enable namespaces or any sort of isolation within
user_events the register lock and pages need to be broken up into
groups. Each event and file now has a group pointer which stores the
actual pages to map, lookup data and synchronization objects.
This only enables a single group that maps to init_user_ns, as IMA
namespace has done. This enables user_events to start the work of
supporting namespaces by walking the namespaces up to the init_user_ns.
Future patches will address other user namespaces and will align to the
approaches the IMA namespace uses.

The ring buffer is broken up into sub buffers (currently of page size).
Each sub buffer has a pointer to its "tail" (the last event written to the
sub buffer). When a new event is requested, the tail is locally
incremented to cover the size of the new event. This is done in a way that
there is no need for locking.
If the tail goes past the end of the sub buffer, the process of moving to
the next sub buffer takes place. After setting the current sub buffer to
the next one, the previous one that had the tail go passed the end of the
sub buffer needs to be reset back to the original tail location (before
the new event was requested) and the rest of the sub buffer needs to be
"padded".
The race happens when a reader takes control of the sub buffer. As readers
do a "swap" of sub buffers from the ring buffer to get exclusive access to
the sub buffer, it replaces the "head" sub buffer with an empty sub buffer
that goes back into the writable portion of the ring buffer. This swap can
happen as soon as the writer moves to the next sub buffer and before it
updates the last sub buffer with padding.
Because the sub buffer can be released to the reader while the writer is
still updating the padding, it is possible for the reader to see the event
that goes past the end of the sub buffer. This can cause obvious issues.
To fix this, add a few memory barriers so that the reader definitely sees
the updates to the sub buffer, and also waits until the writer has put
back the "tail" of the sub buffer back to the last event that was written
on it.
To be paranoid, it will only spin for 1 second, otherwise it will
warn and shutdown the ring buffer code. 1 second should be enough as
the writer does have preemption disabled. If the writer doesn't move
within 1 second (with preemption disabled) something is horribly
wrong. No interrupt should last 1 second!

The wake up waiters only checks the "wakeup_full" variable and not the
"full_waiters_pending". The full_waiters_pending is set when a waiter is
added to the wait queue. The wakeup_full is only set when an event is
triggered, and it clears the full_waiters_pending to avoid multiple calls
to irq_work_queue().
The irq_work callback really needs to check both wakeup_full as well as
full_waiters_pending such that this code can be used to wake up waiters
when a file is closed that represents the ring buffer and the waiters need
to be woken up.

If a page is partially read, and then the splice system call is run
against the ring buffer, it will always fail to read, no matter how much
is in the ring buffer. That's because the code path for a partial read of
the page does will fail if the "full" flag is set.
The splice system call wants full pages, so if the read of the ring buffer
is not yet full, it should return zero, and the splice will block. But if
a previous read was done, where the beginning has been consumed, it should
still be given to the splice caller if the rest of the page has been
written to.
This caused the splice command to never consume data in this scenario, and
let the ring buffer just fill up and lose events.

It was found that some tracing functions in kernel/trace/trace.c acquire
an arch_spinlock_t with preemption and irqs enabled. An example is the
tracing_saved_cmdlines_size_read() function which intermittently causes
a "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible" warning when the LTP
read_all_proc test is run.
That can be problematic in case preemption happens after acquiring the
lock. Add the necessary preemption or interrupt disabling code in the
appropriate places before acquiring an arch_spinlock_t.
The convention here is to disable preemption for trace_cmdline_lock and
interupt for max_lock.

There is a recursive lock on the cpu_hotplug_lock.
In kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:<start/stop>_per_cpu_kthreads:
- start_per_cpu_kthreads calls cpus_read_lock() and if
start_kthreads returns a error it will call stop_per_cpu_kthreads.
- stop_per_cpu_kthreads then calls cpus_read_lock() again causing
deadlock.
Fix this by calling cpus_read_unlock() before calling
stop_per_cpu_kthreads. This behavior can also be seen in commit

E.g.

Then it can filter the events only on first 4 cores.
Note that the fields used for 'if' must be the fields in the original
