Steven Rostedt (VMware) 4681e8820f tracing: Quiet gcc warning about maybe unused link variable
commit 2519c1bbe3 upstream.

Commit 57ea2a34ad ("tracing/kprobes: Fix trace_probe flags on
enable_trace_kprobe() failure") added an if statement that depends on another
if statement that gcc doesn't see will initialize the "link" variable and
gives the warning:

 "warning: 'link' may be used uninitialized in this function"

It is really a false positive, but to quiet the warning, and also to make
sure that it never actually is used uninitialized, initialize the "link"
variable to NULL and add an if (!WARN_ON_ONCE(!link)) where the compiler
thinks it could be used uninitialized.

Artem Savkov 86428ec165 tracing/kprobes: Fix trace_probe flags on enable_trace_kprobe() failure
commit 57ea2a34ad upstream.

If enable_trace_kprobe fails to enable the probe in enable_k(ret)probe
it returns an error, but does not unset the tp flags it set previously.
This results in a probe being considered enabled and failures like being
unable to remove the probe through kprobe_events file since probes_open()
expects every probe to be disabled.

Masami Hiramatsu 70001527f4 tracing: probeevent: Fix to support minus offset from symbol
commit c5d343b6b7 upstream.

In Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt, it says

 @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)

However, the parser doesn't parse minus offset correctly, since
commit 2fba0c8867 ("tracing/kprobes: Fix probe offset to be
unsigned") drops minus ("-") offset support for kprobe probe
address usage.

This fixes the traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() to parse minus
offset again with checking the offset range, and add a minus
offset check in kprobe probe address usage.

Zhou Chengming 75e8387685 perf/ftrace: Fix double traces of perf on ftrace:function
When running perf on the ftrace:function tracepoint, there is a bug
which can be reproduced by:

  perf record -e ftrace:function -a sleep 20 &
  perf record -e ftrace:function ls
  perf script

              ls 10304 [005]   171.853235: ftrace:function:
  perf_output_begin
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853237: ftrace:function:
  perf_output_begin
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853239: ftrace:function:
  task_tgid_nr_ns
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853240: ftrace:function:
  task_tgid_nr_ns
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853242: ftrace:function:
  __task_pid_nr_ns
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853244: ftrace:function:
  __task_pid_nr_ns

We can see that all the function traces are doubled.

The problem is caused by the inconsistency of the register
function perf_ftrace_event_register() with the probe function
perf_ftrace_function_call(). The former registers one probe
for every perf_event. And the latter handles all perf_events
on the current cpu. So when two perf_events on the current cpu,
the traces of them will be doubled.

So this patch adds an extra parameter "event" for perf_tp_event,
only send sample data to this event when it's not NULL.

Sabrina Dubroca 9e52b32567 tracing/kprobes: Allow to create probe with a module name starting with a digit
Always try to parse an address, since kstrtoul() will safely fail when
given a symbol as input. If that fails (which will be the case for a
symbol), try to parse a symbol instead.

This allows creating a probe such as:

    p:probe/vlan_gro_receive 8021q:vlan_gro_receive+0

Which is necessary for this command to work:

    perf probe -m 8021q -a vlan_gro_receive

Thomas Gleixner 30e7d894c1 tracing/kprobes: Enforce kprobes teardown after testing
Enabling the tracer selftest triggers occasionally the warning in
text_poke(), which warns when the to be modified page is not marked
reserved.

The reason is that the tracer selftest installs kprobes on functions marked
__init for testing. These probes are removed after the tests, but that
removal schedules the delayed kprobes_optimizer work, which will do the
actual text poke. If the work is executed after the init text is freed,
then the warning triggers. The bug can be reproduced reliably when the work
delay is increased.

Flush the optimizer work and wait for the optimizing/unoptimizing lists to
become empty before returning from the kprobes tracer selftest. That
ensures that all operations which were queued due to the probes removal
have completed.

  o The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing instances.
    i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
    The old way was written very hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
 
  o New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the set_ftrace_pid
    will have their children added when the processes with their pids
    listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
 
  o Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
 
  o Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function tracer
    (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing will come

Alban Crequy 696ced4fb1 tracing/kprobes: expose maxactive for kretprobe in kprobe_events
When a kretprobe is installed on a kernel function, there is a maximum
limit of how many calls in parallel it can catch (aka "maxactive"). A
kernel module could call register_kretprobe() and initialize maxactive
(see example in samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c).

But that is not exposed to userspace and it is currently not possible to
choose maxactive when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

The default maxactive can be as low as 1 on single-core with a
non-preemptive kernel. This is too low and we need to increase it not
only for recursive functions, but for functions that sleep or resched.

This patch updates the format of the command that can be written to
kprobe_events so that maxactive can be optionally specified.

I need this for a bpf program attached to the kretprobe of
inet_csk_accept, which can sleep for a long time.

This patch includes a basic selftest:

Naveen N. Rao 1d585e7090 trace/kprobes: Fix check for kretprobe offset within function entry
perf specifies an offset from _text and since this offset is fed
directly into the arch-specific helper, kprobes tracer rejects
installation of kretprobes through perf. Fix this by looking up the
actual offset from a function for the specified sym+offset.

Refactor and reuse existing routines to limit code duplication -- we
repurpose kprobe_addr() for determining final kprobe address and we
split out the function entry offset determination into a separate
generic helper.

Naveen N. Rao 35b6f55aa9 trace/kprobes: Allow return probes with offsets and absolute addresses
Since the kernel includes many non-global functions with same names, we
will need to use offsets from other symbols (typically _text/_stext) or
absolute addresses to place return probes on specific functions. Also,
the core register_kretprobe() API never forbid use of offsets or
absolute addresses with kretprobes.

Allow its use with the trace infrastructure. To distinguish kernels that
support this, update ftrace README to explicitly call this out.

Marcin Nowakowski d4d7ccc834 kprobes/trace: Fix kprobe selftest for newer gcc
Commit 265a5b7ee3 ("kprobes/trace: Fix kprobe selftest for gcc 4.6")
has added __used attribute to kprobe_trace_selftest_target to ensure
that the method is listed in kallsyms table.

However, even though the method remains in the kernel image, the actual
call is optimized away as there are no side effects and the return value
is never checked.

Add a return value check and a 'noinline' attribute to ensure that an
inlined copy of the method is not used by the caller. Also add checks
that verify that the kprobe was really hit, as at the moment the tests
show positive results despite the test method being optimized away.

Finally, add __init annotations to find_trace_probe_file() and
kprobe_trace_selftest_target() as they are only called from within an
__init method.

Omar Sandoval 35abb67de7 tracing: expose current->comm to [ku]probe events
ftrace is very quick to give up on saving the task command line (see
`trace_save_cmdline()`). The workaround for events which really care
about the command line is to explicitly assign it as part of the entry.
However, this doesn't work for kprobe events, as there's no
straightforward way to get access to current->comm. Add a kprobe/uprobe
event variable $comm which provides exactly that.

Martin KaFai Lau a7636d9ecf kprobes: Optimize hot path by using percpu counter to collect 'nhit' statistics
When doing ebpf+kprobe on some hot TCP functions (e.g.
tcp_rcv_established), the kprobe_dispatcher() function
shows up in 'perf report'.

In kprobe_dispatcher(), there is a lot of cache bouncing
on 'tk->nhit++'.  'tk->nhit' and 'tk->tp.flags' also share
the same cacheline.

perf report (cycles:pp):

	8.30%  ipv4_dst_check
	4.74%  copy_user_enhanced_fast_string
	3.93%  dst_release
	2.80%  tcp_v4_rcv

	~~~~
	1.71%  kprobe_dispatcher
	~~~~
	1.55%  mlx4_en_xmit
	1.09%  __probe_kernel_read

Pull perf changes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Core kernel changes:

   - One of the more interesting features in this cycle is the ability
     to attach eBPF programs (user-defined, sandboxed bytecode executed
     by the kernel) to kprobes.

     This allows user-defined instrumentation on a live kernel image
     that can never crash, hang or interfere with the kernel negatively.
     (Right now it's limited to root-only, but in the future we might
     allow unprivileged use as well.)

     (Alexei Starovoitov)

   - Another non-trivial feature is per event clockid support: this
     allows, amongst other things, the selection of different clock
     sources for event timestamps traced via perf.

     This feature is sought by people who'd like to merge perf generated
     events with external events that were measured with different
     clocks:

       - cluster wide profiling

       - for system wide tracing with user-space events,

       - JIT profiling events

     etc.  Matching perf tooling support is added as well, available via
     the -k, --clockid <clockid> parameter to perf record et al.

     (Peter Zijlstra)

  Hardware enablement kernel changes:

   - x86 Intel Processor Trace (PT) support: which is a hardware tracer
     on steroids, available on Broadwell CPUs.

     The hardware trace stream is directly output into the user-space
     ring-buffer, using the 'AUX' data format extension that was added
     to the perf core to support hardware constraints such as the
     necessity to have the tracing buffer physically contiguous.

     This patch-set was developed for two years and this is the result.
     A simple way to make use of this is to use BTS tracing, the PT
     driver emulates BTS output - available via the 'intel_bts' PMU.
     More explicit PT specific tooling support is in the works as well -
     will probably be ready by 4.2.

     (Alexander Shishkin, Peter Zijlstra)

   - x86 Intel Cache QoS Monitoring (CQM) support: this is a hardware
     feature of Intel Xeon CPUs that allows the measurement and
     allocation/partitioning of caches to individual workloads.

     These kernel changes expose the measurement side as a new PMU
     driver, which exposes various QoS related PMU events.  (The
     partitioning change is work in progress and is planned to be merged
     as a cgroup extension.)

     (Matt Fleming, Peter Zijlstra; CPU feature detection by Peter P
     Waskiewicz Jr)

   - x86 Intel Haswell LBR call stack support: this is a new Haswell
     feature that allows the hardware recording of call chains, plus
     tooling support.  To activate this feature you have to enable it
     via the new 'lbr' call-graph recording option:

        perf record --call-graph lbr
        perf report

     or:

        perf top --call-graph lbr

     This hardware feature is a lot faster than stack walk or dwarf
     based unwinding, but has some limitations:

       - It reuses the current LBR facility, so LBR call stack and
         branch record can not be enabled at the same time.

       - It is only available for user-space callchains.

     (Yan, Zheng)

   - x86 Intel Broadwell CPU support and various event constraints and
     event table fixes for earlier models.

     (Andi Kleen)

   - x86 Intel HT CPUs event scheduling workarounds.  This is a complex
     CPU bug affecting the SNB,IVB,HSW families that results in counter
     value corruption.  The mitigation code is automatically enabled and
     is transparent.

     (Maria Dimakopoulou, Stephane Eranian)

  The perf tooling side had a ton of changes in this cycle as well, so
  I'm only able to list the user visible changes here, in addition to
  the tooling changes outlined above:

  User visible changes affecting all tools:

      - Improve support of compressed kernel modules (Jiri Olsa)
      - Save DSO loading errno to better report errors (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
      - Bash completion for subcommands (Yunlong Song)
      - Add 'I' event modifier for perf_event_attr.exclude_idle bit (Jiri Olsa)
      - Support missing -f to override perf.data file ownership. (Yunlong Song)
      - Show the first event with an invalid filter (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  User visible changes in individual tools:

    'perf data':

        New tool for converting perf.data to other formats, initially
        for the CTF (Common Trace Format) from LTTng (Jiri Olsa,
        Sebastian Siewior)

    'perf diff':

        Add --kallsyms option (David Ahern)

    'perf list':

        Allow listing events with 'tracepoint' prefix (Yunlong Song)

        Sort the output of the command (Yunlong Song)

    'perf kmem':

        Respect -i option (Jiri Olsa)

        Print big numbers using thousands' group (Namhyung Kim)

        Allow -v option (Namhyung Kim)

        Fix alignment of slab result table (Namhyung Kim)

    'perf probe':

        Support multiple probes on different binaries on the same command line (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Support unnamed union/structure members data collection. (Masami Hiramatsu)

        Check kprobes blacklist when adding new events. (Masami Hiramatsu)

    'perf record':

        Teach 'perf record' about perf_event_attr.clockid (Peter Zijlstra)

        Support recording running/enabled time (Andi Kleen)

    'perf sched':

        Improve the performance of 'perf sched replay' on high CPU core count machines (Yunlong Song)

    'perf report' and 'perf top':

        Allow annotating entries in callchains in the hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Indicate which callchain entries are annotated in the
        TUI hists browser (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Add pid/tid filtering to 'report' and 'script' commands (David Ahern)

        Consider PERF_RECORD_ events with cpumode == 0 in 'perf top', removing one
        cause of long term memory usage buildup, i.e. not processing PERF_RECORD_EXIT
        events (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

    'perf stat':

        Report unsupported events properly (Suzuki K. Poulose)

        Output running time and run/enabled ratio in CSV mode (Andi Kleen)

    'perf trace':

        Handle legacy syscalls tracepoints (David Ahern, Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Only insert blank duration bracket when tracing syscalls (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Filter out the trace pid when no threads are specified (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Dump stack on segfaults (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        No need to explicitely enable evsels for workload started from perf, let it
        be enabled via perf_event_attr.enable_on_exec, removing some events that take
        place in the 'perf trace' before a workload is really started by it.
        (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

        Allow mixing with tracepoints and suppressing plain syscalls. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

  There's also been a ton of infrastructure work done, such as the
  split-out of perf's build system into tools/build/ and other changes -
  see the shortlog and changelog for details"

Linus Torvalds eeee78cf77 Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.
 
 Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
 __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
 displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the
 TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that
 user space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data
 and express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
 macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
 much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's
 because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values
 by the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the
 format file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.
 
 The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings
 in the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is
 shown to user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently
 has this in its format file:
 
      __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
         { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
         { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
         { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
         { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })
 
 After adding:
 
      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
      TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);
 
 Its format file will contain this:
 
      __print_symbolic(REC->reason,
         { 0, "flush on task switch" },
         { 1, "remote shootdown" },
         { 2, "local shootdown" },

Linus Torvalds 3f3c73de77 This adds the new tracefs file system. This has been in linux-next for
more than one release, as I had it ready for the 4.0 merge window, but
 a last minute thing that needed to go into Linux first had to be done.
 That was that perf hard coded the file system number when reading
 /sys/kernel/debugfs/tracing directory making sure that the path had
 the debugfs mount # before it would parse the tracing file. This broke
 other use cases of perf, and the check is removed.
 
 Now when mounting /sys/kernel/debug, tracefs is automatically mounted
 in /sys/kernel/debug/tracing such that old tools will still see that
 path as expected. But now system admins can mount tracefs directly
 and not need to mount debugfs, which can expose security issues.
 A new directory is created when tracefs is configured such that
 system admins can now mount it separately (/sys/kernel/tracing).
 
 This branch is based off of Al Viro's vfs debugfs_automount branch
 at commit 163f9eb95a
 debugfs: Provide a file creation function that also takes an initial size
 to get the debugfs_create_automount() operation.
 I just noticed that Al rebased the pull to add his Signed-off-by to
 that commit, and the commit is now e59b4e9187.
 I did a git diff of those two and see they are the same. Only the
 latter has Al's SOB.

Alexei Starovoitov 2541517c32 tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes
BPF programs, attached to kprobes, provide a safe way to execute
user-defined BPF byte-code programs without being able to crash or
hang the kernel in any way. The BPF engine makes sure that such
programs have a finite execution time and that they cannot break
out of their sandbox.

The user interface is to attach to a kprobe via the perf syscall:

	struct perf_event_attr attr = {
		.type	= PERF_TYPE_TRACEPOINT,
		.config	= event_id,
		...
	};

	event_fd = perf_event_open(&attr,...);
	ioctl(event_fd, PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);

'prog_fd' is a file descriptor associated with BPF program
previously loaded.

'event_id' is an ID of the kprobe created.

Closing 'event_fd':

	close(event_fd);

... automatically detaches BPF program from it.

BPF programs can call in-kernel helper functions to:

  - lookup/update/delete elements in maps

  - probe_read - wraper of probe_kernel_read() used to access any
    kernel data structures

BPF programs receive 'struct pt_regs *' as an input ('struct pt_regs' is
architecture dependent) and return 0 to ignore the event and 1 to store
kprobe event into the ring buffer.

Note, kprobes are a fundamentally _not_ a stable kernel ABI,
so BPF programs attached to kprobes must be recompiled for
every kernel version and user must supply correct LINUX_VERSION_CODE
in attr.kern_version during bpf_prog_load() call.

Stephen Rothwell d9a16d3ab8 trace: Don't use __weak in header files
The commit that added a check for this to checkpatch says:

"Using weak declarations can have unintended link defects.  The __weak on
the declaration causes non-weak definitions to become weak."

In this case, when a PowerPC kernel is built with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT
but not CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT, it generates the following warning:

WARNING: 1 bad relocations
c0000000014f2190 R_PPC64_ADDR64    uprobes_fetch_type_table

This is fixed by passing the fetch_table arrays to
traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() which also means that they can never be NULL.

  o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT()
 
  o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways to

    code was made, and these features are mostly unknown. Developers
    have been making their own hacks to do things that are already available.
 
  o Performance improvements. Most notably, I found a performance bug where
    a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer will
    see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep. The sched
    event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up again.
    It would see that there was still not a full page, and go back to sleep
    again, and that would wake it up again, until finally it would see a
    full page. This change has been marked for stable.
 
    Other improvements include removing global locks from fast paths.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 8434dc9340 tracing: Convert the tracing facility over to use tracefs
debugfs was fine for the tracing facility as a quick way to get
an interface. Now that tracing has matured, it should separate itself
from debugfs such that it can be mounted separately without needing
to mount all of debugfs with it. That is, users resist using tracing
because it requires mounting debugfs. Having tracing have its own file
system lets users get the features of tracing without needing to bring
in the rest of the kernel's debug infrastructure.

Another reason for tracefs is that debubfs does not support mkdir.
Currently, to create instances, one does a mkdir in the tracing/instance
directory. This is implemented via a hack that forces debugfs to do
something it is not intended on doing. By converting over to tracefs, this
hack can be removed and mkdir can be properly implemented. This patch does
not address this yet, but it lays the ground work for that to be done.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 14a5ae40f0 tracing: Use IS_ERR() check for return value of tracing_init_dentry()
tracing_init_dentry() will soon return NULL as a valid pointer for the
top level tracing directroy. NULL can not be used as an error value.
Instead, switch to ERR_PTR() and check the return status with
IS_ERR().

Peter Zijlstra (Intel) 86038c5ea8 perf: Avoid horrible stack usage
Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf
related callbacks have massive stack bloat.

The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to
properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we
could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled
it with minimal bits required for operation.

Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it
turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available,
making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste.

This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events
have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static
per-cpu storage instead of on-stack.

Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers
of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular
perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be
optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler.

We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs()
like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler
and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the
recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs
element to use).

One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we
allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs
pointer available and do not need another.

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 85224da0b8 kprobes/tracing: Use trace_seq_has_overflowed() for overflow checks
Instead of checking the return value of trace_seq_printf() and friends
for overflowing of the buffer, use the trace_seq_has_overflowed() helper
function.

This cleans up the code quite a bit and also takes us a step closer to
changing the return values of trace_seq_printf() and friends to void.

Rasmus Villemoes 1177e43641 trace: Replace single-character seq_puts with seq_putc
Printing a single character to a seqfile might as well be done with
seq_putc instead of seq_puts; this avoids a strlen() call and a memory
access. It also shaves another few bytes off the generated code.

Rasmus Villemoes fa6f0cc751 tracing: Replace seq_printf by simpler equivalents
Using seq_printf to print a simple string or a single character is a
lot more expensive than it needs to be, since seq_puts and seq_putc
exist.

These patches do

  seq_printf(m, s) -> seq_puts(m, s)
  seq_printf(m, "%s", s) -> seq_puts(m, s)
  seq_printf(m, "%c", c) -> seq_putc(m, c)

Subsequent patches will simplify further.

Masami Hiramatsu fbc1963d2c kprobes, ftrace: Allow probing on some functions
There is no need to prohibit probing on the functions
used for preparation and uprobe only fetch functions.
Those are safely probed because those are not invoked
from kprobe's breakpoint/fault/debug handlers. So there
is no chance to cause recursive exceptions.

Following functions are now removed from the kprobes blacklist:

	update_bitfield_fetch_param
	free_bitfield_fetch_param
	kprobe_register
	FETCH_FUNC_NAME(stack, type) in trace_uprobe.c
	FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, type) in trace_uprobe.c
	FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, string) in trace_uprobe.c
	FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, string_size) in trace_uprobe.c

Mathieu Desnoyers de7b297390 tracepoint: Use struct pointer instead of name hash for reg/unreg tracepoints
Register/unregister tracepoint probes with struct tracepoint pointer
rather than tracepoint name.

This change, which vastly simplifies tracepoint.c, has been proposed by
Steven Rostedt. It also removes 8.8kB (mostly of text) to the vmlinux
size.

From this point on, the tracers need to pass a struct tracepoint pointer
to probe register/unregister. A probe can now only be connected to a
tracepoint that exists. Moreover, tracers are responsible for
unregistering the probe before the module containing its associated
tracepoint is unloaded.
