A boot up test function update_pred_fn() dereferences filter->prog without
the proper rcu annotation.
To do this, we must also take the event_mutex first. Normally, this isn't
needed because this test function can not race with other use cases that
touch the event filters (it is disabled if any events are enabled).

In commit 932066a15335 ("tracing: Default to using trace_global_clock if

trying to reduce the width of the message by using an early return

accidentally left the predicate inverted.

Function tracing can trace in NMIs and such. If the TSC is determined
to be unstable, the tracing clock will switch to the global clock on
boot up, unless "trace_clock" is specified on the kernel command line.
The global clock disables interrupts to access sched_clock_cpu(), and in
doing so can be done within lockdep internals (because of function
tracing and NMIs). This can trigger false lockdep splats.
The trace_clock_global() is special, best not to trace the irq logic
within it.

As si_mem_available() can say there is enough memory even though the memory
available is not useable by the ring buffer, it is best to not kill innocent
applications because the ring buffer is taking up all the memory while it is
trying to allocate a great deal of memory.
If the allocator is user space (because kernel threads can also increase the
size of the kernel ring buffer on boot up), then after si_mem_available()
says there is enough memory, set the OOM killer to kill the current task if
an OOM triggers during the allocation.

The ring buffer is made up of a link list of pages. When making the ring
buffer bigger, it will allocate all the pages it needs before adding to the
ring buffer, and if it fails, it frees them and returns an error. This makes
increasing the ring buffer size an all or nothing action. When this was
first created, the pages were allocated with "NORETRY". This was to not
cause any Out-Of-Memory (OOM) actions from allocating the ring buffer. But
NORETRY was too strict, as the ring buffer would fail to expand even when
there's memory available, but was taken up in the page cache.
Commit 848618857d ("tracing/ring_buffer: Try harder to allocate") changed
the allocating from NORETRY to RETRY_MAYFAIL. The RETRY_MAYFAIL would
allocate from the page cache, but if there was no memory available, it would
simple fail the allocation and not trigger an OOM.
This worked fine, but had one problem. As the ring buffer would allocate one
page at a time, it could take up all memory in the system before it failed
to allocate and free that memory. If the allocation is happening and the
ring buffer allocates all memory and then tries to take more than available,
its allocation will not trigger an OOM, but if there's any allocation that
happens someplace else, that could trigger an OOM, even though once the ring
buffer's allocation fails, it would free up all the previous memory it tried
to allocate, and allow other memory allocations to succeed.
Commit d02bd27bd3 ("mm/page_alloc.c: calculate 'available' memory in a
separate function") separated out si_mem_availble() as a separate function
that could be used to see how much memory is available in the system. Using
this function to make sure that the ring buffer could be allocated before it
tries to allocate pages we can avoid allocating all memory in the system and
making it vulnerable to OOMs if other allocations are taking place.

Actions also need to be considered when checking for matching triggers
- triggers differing only by action should be allowed, but currently
aren't because the matching check ignores the action and erroneously
returns -EEXIST.
Add and call an actions_match() function to address that.
Here's an example using onmatch() actions. The first -EEXIST shouldn't
occur because the onmatch() is different in the second wakeup_latency()
param. The second -EEXIST shouldn't occur because it's a different
action (in this case, it doesn't have an action, so shouldn't be seen
as being the same and therefore rejected).
In the after case, both are correctly accepted (and trying to add one of
them again returns -EEXIST as it should).

Across suspend, we may see a very large drift in timestamps if the sched
clock is unstable, prompting the global trace's ringbuffer code to warn
and suggest switching to the global clock. Preempt this request by
detecting when the sched clock is unstable (determined during
late_initcall) and automatically switching the default clock over to
trace_global_clock.
This should prevent requiring user interaction to resolve warnings such
as:

please switch to the trace global clock:

== The problem ==
There are use-cases when a program of some type can be attached to
multiple attach points and those attach points must have different
permissions to access context or to call helpers.
E.g. context structure may have fields for both IPv4 and IPv6 but it
doesn't make sense to read from / write to IPv6 field when attach point
is somewhere in IPv4 stack.
Same applies to BPF-helpers: it may make sense to call some helper from
some attach point, but not from other for same prog type.
== The solution ==
Introduce `expected_attach_type` field in in `struct bpf_attr` for
`BPF_PROG_LOAD` command. If scenario described in "The problem" section
is the case for some prog type, the field will be checked twice:
1) At load time prog type is checked to see if attach type for it must
be known to validate program permissions correctly. Prog will be
rejected with EINVAL if it's the case and `expected_attach_type` is
not specified or has invalid value.
2) At attach time `attach_type` is compared with `expected_attach_type`,
if prog type requires to have one, and, if they differ, attach will
be rejected with EINVAL.
The `expected_attach_type` is now available as part of `struct bpf_prog`
in both `bpf_verifier_ops->is_valid_access()` and
`bpf_verifier_ops->get_func_proto()` () and can be used to check context
accesses and calls to helpers correspondingly.
Initially the idea was discussed by Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> and
Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> here:

Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT bpf program type to access
kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their raw form.
>From bpf program point of view the access to the arguments look like:
struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args {
__u64 args[0];
};
int bpf_prog(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx)
{
// program can read args[N] where N depends on tracepoint
// and statically verified at program load+attach time
}
kprobe+bpf infrastructure allows programs access function arguments.
This feature allows programs access raw tracepoint arguments.
Similar to proposed 'dynamic ftrace events' there are no abi guarantees
to what the tracepoints arguments are and what their meaning is.
The program needs to type cast args properly and use bpf_probe_read()
helper to access struct fields when argument is a pointer.
For every tracepoint __bpf_trace_##call function is prepared.
In assembler it looks like:
(gdb) disassemble __bpf_trace_xdp_exception
Dump of assembler code for function __bpf_trace_xdp_exception:
0xffffffff81132080 <+0>: mov %ecx,%ecx
0xffffffff81132082 <+2>: jmpq 0xffffffff811231f0 <bpf_trace_run3>
where
TRACE_EVENT(xdp_exception,
TP_PROTO(const struct net_device *dev,
const struct bpf_prog *xdp, u32 act),
The above assembler snippet is casting 32-bit 'act' field into 'u64'
to pass into bpf_trace_run3(), while 'dev' and 'xdp' args are passed as-is.
All of ~500 of __bpf_trace_*() functions are only 5-10 byte long
and in total this approach adds 7k bytes to .text.
This approach gives the lowest possible overhead
while calling trace_xdp_exception() from kernel C code and
transitioning into bpf land.
Since tracepoint+bpf are used at speeds of 1M+ events per second
this is valuable optimization.
The new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN sys_bpf command is introduced
that returns anon_inode FD of 'bpf-raw-tracepoint' object.
The user space looks like:
// load bpf prog with BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT type
prog_fd = bpf_prog_load(...);
// receive anon_inode fd for given bpf_raw_tracepoint with prog attached
raw_tp_fd = bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd);
Ctrl-C of tracing daemon or cmdline tool that uses this feature
will automatically detach bpf program, unload it and
unregister tracepoint probe.
On the kernel side the __bpf_raw_tp_map section of pointers to
tracepoint definition and to __bpf_trace_*() probe function is used
to find a tracepoint with "xdp_exception" name and
corresponding __bpf_trace_xdp_exception() probe function
which are passed to tracepoint_probe_register() to connect probe
with tracepoint.
Addition of bpf_raw_tracepoint doesn't interfere with ftrace and perf
tracepoint mechanisms. perf_event_open() can be used in parallel
on the same tracepoint.
Multiple bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd) are permitted.
Each with its own bpf program. The kernel will execute
all tracepoint probes and all attached bpf programs.
In the future bpf_raw_tracepoints can be extended with
query/introspection logic.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here...
For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel
adds. Trivially resolved.
In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the
function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in
'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed.
In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the
'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that
added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied
over here.
The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating
the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst
a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code.
The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial,
the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and
here are their notes:
====================
Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc
branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started
being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial
merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch
and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and
provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can
be based.
Conflicts:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f95
(IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and
commit b5ca15ad7e (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support)
add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the
init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new
representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch
needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list
added by the representors patch needed to be modified to
match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup
patch.
Updates:
drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function
prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function
names as changed by cleanup patch

Commit 4bebdc7a85 ("bpf: add helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value")
added helper bpf_perf_prog_read_value so that perf_event type program
can read event counter and enabled/running time.
This commit, however, introduced a bug which allows this helper
for tracepoint type programs. This is incorrect as bpf_perf_prog_read_value
needs to access perf_event through its bpf_perf_event_data_kern type context,
which is not available for tracepoint type program.
This patch fixed the issue by separating bpf_func_proto between tracepoint
and perf_event type programs and removed bpf_perf_prog_read_value
from tracepoint func prototype.

Al Viro reviewed the filter logic of ftrace trace events and found it to be
very troubling. It creates a binary tree based on the logic operators and
walks it during tracing. He sent myself and Tom Zanussi a long explanation
(and formal proof) of how to do the string parsing better and end up with a
program array that can be simply iterated to come up with the correct
results.
I took his ideas and his pseudo code and rewrote the filter logic based on
them. In doing so, I was able to remove a lot of code, and have a much more
condensed filter logic in the process. I wrote a very long comment
describing the methadology that Al proposed in my own words. For more info

The pred_funcs_##type arrays consist of five functions that are assigned
based on the ops. The array must be in the same order of the ops each
function represents. The PRED_FUNC_START macro denotes the op enum that
starts the op that maps to the pred_funcs_##type arrays. This is all very
subtle and prone to bugs if the code is changed.
Add comments describing how PRED_FUNC_START and pred_funcs_##type array is
used, and also a PRED_FUNC_MAX that is the maximum number of functions in
the arrays.
Clean up select_comparison_fn() that assigns the predicates to the
pred_funcs_##type array function as well as add protection in case an op is
passed in that does not map correctly to the array.

Instead of having a separate enum that is the index into another array, like
a string array, make a single macro that combines them into a single list,
and then the two can not get out of sync. This makes it easier to add and
remove items.
The macro trick is:
#define DOGS \
C( JACK, "Jack Russell") \
C( ITALIAN, "Italian Greyhound") \
C( GERMAN, "German Shepherd")
#undef C
#define C(a, b) a

The replace_filter_string() frees the current string and then copies a given
string. But in the two locations that it was used, the allocation happened
right after the filter was allocated (nothing to replace). There's no need
for this to be a helper function. Embedding the allocation in the two places
where it was called will make changing the code in the future easier.
Also make the variable consistent (always use "filter_string" as the name,

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The ring-buffer code has recusion protection in case tracing ends up tracing
itself, the ring-buffer will detect that it was called at the same context
(normal, softirq, interrupt or NMI), and not continue to record the event.
With the histogram synthetic events, they are called while tracing another
event at the same context. The recusion protection triggers because it
detects tracing at the same context and stops it.
Add ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end() that will notify the
ring buffer that a trace is about to happen within another trace and that it
is intended, and not to trigger the recursion blocking.

Add a 'last error' facility accessible via the erroring event's 'hist'
file. Reading the hist file after an error will display more detailed
information about what went wrong, if information is available. This
extended error information will be available until the next hist
trigger command for that event.

Aliases are a way of creating a new name for an existing variable, for
flexibly in making naming more clear in certain cases. For example in
the below the user perhaps feels that using $new_lat in the synthetic
event invocation is opaque or doesn't fit well stylistically with
previous triggers, so creates an alias of $new_lat named $latency and
uses that in the call instead:

Add an 'onmax(var).save(field,...)' hist trigger action which is
invoked whenever an event exceeds the current maximum.
The end result is that the trace event fields or variables specified
as the onmax.save() params will be saved if 'var' exceeds the current
maximum for that hist trigger entry. This allows context from the
event that exhibited the new maximum to be saved for later reference.
When the histogram is displayed, additional fields displaying the
saved values will be printed.
As an example the below defines a couple of hist triggers, one for
sched_wakeup and another for sched_switch, keyed on pid. Whenever a
sched_wakeup occurs, the timestamp is saved in the entry corresponding
to the current pid, and when the scheduler switches back to that pid,
the timestamp difference is calculated. If the resulting latency
exceeds the current maximum latency, the specified save() values are
saved:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs \
if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:\
wakeup_lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:\
onmax($wakeup_lat).save(next_comm,prev_pid,prev_prio,prev_comm) \
if next_comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
When the histogram is displayed, the max value and the saved values
corresponding to the max are displayed following the rest of the
fields:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist
{ next_pid: 3728 } hitcount: 199 \
max: 123 next_comm: cyclictest prev_pid: 0 \

Add an 'onmatch(matching.event).<synthetic_event_name>(param list)'
hist trigger action which is invoked with the set of variables or
event fields named in the 'param list'. The result is the generation
of a synthetic event that consists of the values contained in those
variables and/or fields at the time the invoking event was hit.
As an example the below defines a simple synthetic event using a
variable defined on the sched_wakeup_new event, and shows the event
definition with unresolved fields, since the sched_wakeup_new event
with the testpid variable hasn't been defined yet:
# echo 'wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
wakeup_new_test pid_t pid; int prio
The following hist trigger both defines a testpid variable and
specifies an onmatch() trace action that uses that variable along with
a non-variable field to generate a wakeup_new_test synthetic event
whenever a sched_wakeup_new event occurs, which because of the 'if
comm == "cyclictest"' filter only happens when the executable is
cyclictest:
# echo 'hist:testpid=pid:keys=$testpid:\
onmatch(sched.sched_wakeup_new).wakeup_new_test($testpid, prio) \
if comm=="cyclictest"' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup_new/trigger
Creating and displaying a histogram based on those events is now just
a matter of using the fields and new synthetic event in the
tracing/events/synthetic directory, as usual:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid,prio:sort=pid,prio' >> \
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/synthetic/wakeup_new_test/trigger

Users should be able to directly specify event fields in hist trigger
'actions' rather than being forced to explicitly create a variable for
that purpose.
Add support allowing fields to be used directly in actions, which
essentially does just that - creates 'invisible' variables for each
bare field specified in an action. If a bare field refers to a field
on another (matching) event, it even creates a special histogram for
the purpose (since variables can't be defined on an existing histogram
after histogram creation).
Here's a simple example that demonstrates both. Basically the
onmatch() action creates a list of variables corresponding to the
parameters of the synthetic event to be generated, and then uses those
values to generate the event. So for the wakeup_latency synthetic
event 'call' below the first param, $wakeup_lat, is a variable defined
explicitly on sched_switch, where 'next_pid' is just a normal field on
sched_switch, and prio is a normal field on sched_waking.
Since the mechanism works on variables, those two normal fields just
have 'invisible' variables created internally for them. In the case of
'prio', which is on another event, we actually need to create an
additional hist trigger and define the invisible variable on that, since
once a hist trigger is defined, variables can't be added to it later.
