Currently unregister_ftrace_function_probe_func() is a void function. It
does not give any feedback if an error occurred or no item was found to

No users of the function probes uses the data field anymore. Remove it, and
change the init function to take a void *data parameter instead of a
void **data, because the init will just get the data that the registering
function was received, and there's no state after it is called.
The other functions for ftrace_probe_ops still take the data parameter, but
it will currently only be passed NULL. It will stay as a parameter for
future data to be passed to these functions.

In order to move the ops to the function probes directly, they need a way to
map function ips to their own data without depending on the infrastructure
of the function probes, as the data field will be going away.
New helper functions are added that are based on the ftrace_hash code.
ftrace_func_mapper functions are there to let the probes map ips to their
data. These can be allocated by the probe ops, and referenced in the
function callbacks.

In preparation to cleaning up the probe function registration code, the

Instead it will receive its own "ops" function, in which it can set up its

Currently, when tracepoint_printk is set (enabled by the "tp_printk" kernel
command line), it causes trace events to print via printk(). This is a very
dangerous operation, but is useful for debugging.
The issue is, it's seldom used, but it is always checked even if it's not
enabled by the kernel command line. Instead of having this feature called by
a branch against a variable, turn that variable into a static key, and this
will remove the test and jump.
To simplify things, the functions output_printk() and
trace_event_buffer_commit() were moved from trace_events.c to trace.c.

The creation of the set_event_pid file was assigned to a variable "entry"
but that variable was never used. Ideally, it should be used to check if the
file was created and warn if it was not.
The files header_page, header_event should also be checked and a warning if
they fail to be created.
The "enable" file was moved up, as it is a more crucial file to have and a
hard failure (return -ENOMEM) should be returned if it is not created.

Because tracepoint callbacks are done with preemption enabled, the trace
events are always called with preempt disable due to the
rcu_read_lock_sched_notrace() in __DO_TRACE(). This causes the preempt count
shown in the recorded trace event to be inaccurate. It is always one more
that what the preempt_count was when the tracepoint was called.
If CONFIG_PREEMPT is enabled, subtract 1 from the preempt_count before
recording it in the trace buffer.

Filtering of events requires the data to be written to the ring buffer
before it can be decided to filter or not. This is because the parameters of
the filter are based on the result that is written to the ring buffer and
not on the parameters that are passed into the trace functions.
The ftrace ring buffer is optimized for writing into the ring buffer and
committing. The discard procedure used when filtering decides the event
should be discarded is much more heavy weight. Thus, using a temporary
filter when filtering events can speed things up drastically.
Without a temp buffer we have:
# trace-cmd start -p nop
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
0.790706626 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.71% )
# trace-cmd start -e all
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.566904059 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.27% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.690598511 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.19% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.707486364 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% )
The first run above is without any tracing, just to get a based figure.
hackbench takes ~0.79 seconds to run on the system.
The second run enables tracing all events where nothing is filtered. This
increases the time by 100% and hackbench takes 1.57 seconds to run.
The third run filters all events where the preempt count will equal "20"
(this should never happen) thus all events are discarded. This takes 1.69
seconds to run. This is 10% slower than just committing the events!
The last run enables all events and filters where the filter will commit all
events, and this takes 1.70 seconds to run. The filtering overhead is
approximately 10%. Thus, the discard and commit of an event from the ring
buffer may be about the same time.
With this patch, the numbers change:
# trace-cmd start -p nop
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
0.778233033 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.38% )
# trace-cmd start -e all
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.582102692 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.28% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.309230710 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.786001924 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.20% )
The first run is again the base with no tracing.
The second run is all tracing with no filtering. It is a little slower, but
that may be well within the noise.
The third run shows that discarding all events only took 1.3 seconds. This
is a speed up of 23%! The discard is much faster than even the commit.
The one downside is shown in the last run. Events that are not discarded by
the filter will take longer to add, this is due to the extra copy of the
event.

Currently register functions for events will be called
through the 'reg' field of event class directly without
any check when seting up triggers.
Triggers for events that don't support register through
debug fs (events under events/ftrace are for trace-cmd to
read event format, and most of them don't have a register
function except events/ftrace/functionx) can't be enabled
at all, and an oops will be hit when setting up trigger
for those events, so just not creating them is an easy way
to avoid the oops.

'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events,
which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file
containing the aggregation in a human-readable format.
The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby
trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and
viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables
completely defined by the user.
This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and
without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter.
A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users
via this simple mechanism. In fact, a large number of the tasks that
users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing
tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be
accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used
in the creation of a hash table.
The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive
list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of
the event format files associated with each trace event. By simply
consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging
them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number
of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties
of the system. See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples.
hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger
infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers
from a user's perspective as well.
The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax. Users start an
aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's
trigger file:
# echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger
Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually
aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key
and a value field named 'hitcount'.
To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist'
file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file:
# cat event/hist
The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and
is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the
virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

Add the infrastructure needed to have the PIDs in set_event_pid to
automatically add PIDs of the children of the tasks that have their PIDs in
set_event_pid. This will also remove PIDs from set_event_pid when a task
exits
This is implemented by adding hooks into the fork and exit tracepoints. On
fork, the PIDs are added to the list, and on exit, they are removed.
Add a new option called event_fork that when set, PIDs in set_event_pid will
automatically get their children PIDs added when they fork, as well as any
task that exits will have its PID removed from set_event_pid.
This works for instances as well.

In order to add the ability to let tasks that are filtered by the events
have their children also be traced on fork (and then not traced on exit),
convert the array into a pid bitmask. Most of the time the number of pids is
only 32768 pids or a 4k bitmask, which is the same size as the default list
currently is, and that list could grow if more pids are listed.
This also greatly simplifies the code.

Commit 9f61668073 "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and
process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the
current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events
that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event.
That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated.
echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter
will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that
migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash"
itself gets migrated.
This fix requires a couple of changes.
1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events
fields before looking at the generic filters.
2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the
generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test
against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function.
3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based
on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field.
Do the same for "cpu" field, adding a FILTER_CPU and a filter "CPU".

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.
Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.
Commit 9b63776fa3 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.
One documented way to enable all events is to:
cat available_events > set_event
But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:

The set_event_pid filter relies on attaching to the sched_switch and
sched_wakeup tracepoints to see if it should filter the tracing on schedule
tracepoints. By adding the callbacks to sched_wakeup, pids in the
set_event_pid file will trace the wakeups of those tasks with those pids.
But sched_wakeup_new and sched_waking were missed. These two should also be
traced. Luckily, these tracepoints share the same class as sched_wakeup
which means they can use the same pre and post callbacks as sched_wakeup

Both early_enable_events() and apply_trace_boot_options() parse a boot
string that may get parsed later on. They both use strsep() which converts a
comma into a nul character. To still allow the boot string to be parsed
again the same way, the nul character gets converted back to a comma after
the token is processed.
The problem is that these two functions check for an empty parameter (two
commas in a row ",,"), and continue the loop if the parameter is empty, but
fails to place the comma back. In this case, the second parsing will end at
this blank field, and not process fields afterward.
In most cases, users should not have an empty field, but if its going to be
checked, the code might as well be correct.

Add the necessary hooks to use the pids loaded in set_event_pid to filter
all the events enabled in the tracing instance that match the pids listed.
Two probes are added to both sched_switch and sched_wakeup tracepoints to be
called before other probes are called and after the other probes are called.
The first is used to set the necessary flags to let the probes know to test
if they should be traced or not.
The sched_switch pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the
previous or next task has a matching pid.
The sched_switch probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the next task
does not match the matching pid.
The pre probe allows for probes tracing sched_switch to be traced if
necessary.
The sched_wakeup pre probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if neither the
current task nor the wakee task has a matching pid.
The sched_wakeup post probe will set the "ignore_pid" flag if the current
task does not have a matching pid.

function, but will be used to filter all events for the tracing instance or
the pids that are added to the file.
The reason no functionality is added with this commit is that this commit
focuses on the creation and removal of the pids in a safe manner. And tests
can be made against this change to make sure things are correct before
hooking features to the list of pids.

The kernel now has kstrdup_const/kfree_const for reusing .rodata
(typically string literals) when possible; there's no reason to
duplicate that logic in the tracing system. Moreover, as the comment
above core_kernel_data states, it may not always return true for
.rodata - that is for example the case on x86_64, where we thus end up
kstrdup'ing all the passed-in strings.
Arguably, testing for .rodata explicitly (as kstrdup_const does) is
also more correct: I don't think one is supposed to be able to change
the name after creating the event_subsystem by passing the address of
a static char (but non-const) array.

In preparation for the multi buffer instances to have their own trace_flags,
the check in ftrace_trace_stack() needs to test the trace_array descriptor
flag that is for the current event, not the global_trace descriptor.

In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags
needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace
instance trace_array structure.
There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use
trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For
those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes
setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is
created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be
able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the
trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace,
where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

In preparation for having trace options be per instance, the trace_array
needs to be passed to the trace_buffer_unlock_commit(). The
trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() already passes in the trace_event_file
where the trace_array can be derived from.
Also added a "__init" to the boot up test event plus function tracing
function function_test_events_call().

By extending the filter rules by more generic fields
we can write triggers filters like
echo 'stacktrace if cpu == 1' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
or
echo 'stacktrace if comm == sshd' > \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
CPU and COMM are not part of struct trace_entry. We could add the two
new fields to ftrace_common_field list and fix up all depending
sides. But that looks pretty ugly. Another thing I would like to
avoid that the 'format' file contents changes.
All this can be avoided by introducing another list which contains
non field members of struct trace_entry.

and function graph tracer is the tracer that is being reported.
The second fix is bad parsing of the trace_events from the kernel
command line, where it would ignore specific events if the system
name is used with defining the event(it enables all events within the
system).
The last one is a fix to the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), where a check was missing
to see if the ptr was incremented to the end of the string, but the loop
increments it again and can miss the nul delimiter to stop processing.

tracing: Fix possible out of bounds memory access when parsing enums
tracing: Fix incorrect enabling of trace events by boot cmdline
tracing: Handle ftrace_dump() atomic context in graph_trace_open()
The code that replaces the enum names with the enum values in the
tracepoints' format files could possible miss the end of string nul
character. This was caused by processing things like backslashes, quotes
and other tokens. After processing the tokens, a check for the nul
character needed to be done before continuing the loop, because the loop
incremented the pointer before doing the check, which could bypass the nul
character.

There is a problem that trace events are not properly enabled with
boot cmdline. The problem is that if we pass "trace_event=kmem:mm_page_alloc"
to the boot cmdline, it enables all kmem trace events, and not just
the page_alloc event.
This is caused by the parsing mechanism. When we parse the cmdline, the buffer
contents is modified due to tokenization. And, if we use this buffer
again, we will get the wrong result.
Unfortunately, this buffer is be accessed three times to set trace events
properly at boot time. So, we need to handle this situation.
There is already code handling ",", but we need another for ":".
This patch adds it.
