Merge tag 'trace-v6.4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- User events are finally ready!
After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally
locked down on a stable interface for user events that can also work
with user space only tracing.
This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user space library, but
that part is user space only and not part of this patch set), where
the variable is that the application uses to know if something is
listening to the trace.
There's also an interface to tell the kernel about these events,
which will show up in the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/
directory, where it can be enabled.
When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell the
application to start writing to the kernel.
See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/
- Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
direct trampolines.
Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but instead of jumping to
the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF) can register their
own trampoline for performance reasons.
- Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient
than kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that
kprobes on ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes
will be exposed as dynamic events.
- More updates to references to the obsolete path of
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.
- Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer
line by line instead of all at once.
There are users in production kernels that have a large data dump
that originally used printk() directly, but the data dump was larger
than what printk() allowed as a single print.
Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.
- Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions
that was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used
for debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a
crash by a bpf program or live patching.
- Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields
of the events. It's easier to read by humans.
- Some minor fixes and clean ups.
