Pull trace event string verifier fix from Steven Rostedt:
"The run-time string verifier checks all trace event formats as
they are read from the tracing file to make sure that the %s pointers
are not reading something that no longer exists.
However, it failed to account for the valid case of '%*.s' where the
length given is zero, and the string is NULL. It incorrectly flagged
it as a null pointer dereference and gave a WARN_ON()"

tracing: Have trace event string test handle zero length strings
|

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the
kernel describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a
byte in a page mapping that it can check against. A privileged task
can then enable that event like any other event, which will change
the mapped byte to true, telling the user space application to start
writing the event to the tracing buffer.
- Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When
set, the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot
up when the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep
the traces that happened at boot up available even if user space boot
up has tracing as well.
- Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type
descriptions. Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum,
the user space trace event parsers can still know how to parse that
array.
- Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This
will make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not
be stuck at only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.
- Fixes to tracing error logging.
- Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events
for mapping).

If a trace event has in its TP_printk():
"%*.s", len, len ? __get_str(string) : NULL
It is perfectly valid if len is zero and passing in the NULL.
Unfortunately, the runtime string check at time of reading the trace sees
the NULL and flags it as a bad string and produces a WARN_ON().
Handle this case by passing into the test function if the format has an
asterisk (star) and if so, if the length is zero, then mark it as safe.

Add ftrace_boot_snapshot kernel parameter that will take a snapshot at the
end of boot up just before switching over to user space (it happens during
the kernel freeing of init memory).
This is useful when there's interesting data that can be collected from
kernel start up, but gets overridden by user space start up code. With
this option, the ring buffer content from the boot up traces gets saved in
the snapshot at the end of boot up. This trace can be read from:
/sys/kernel/tracing/snapshot

__setup() handlers should generally return 1 to indicate that the
boot options have been handled.
Using invalid option values causes the entire kernel boot option
string to be reported as Unknown and added to init's environment
strings, polluting it.
Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6
kprobe_event=p,syscall_any,$arg1 trace_options=quiet
trace_clock=jiffies", will be passed to user space.
Run /sbin/init as init process
with arguments:
/sbin/init
with environment:
HOME=/
TERM=linux
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/bzImage-517rc6
kprobe_event=p,syscall_any,$arg1
trace_options=quiet
trace_clock=jiffies
Return 1 from the __setup() handlers so that init's environment is not
polluted with kernel boot options.

Currently, tracing_log_err.cmd strings are restricted to a length of
MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL (256), which is too short for some commands already
seen in the wild (with cmd strings longer than that showing up
truncated).
Remove the restriction so that no command string is ever truncated.

The kernel parameter "tp_printk_stop_on_boot" starts with "tp_printk" which is
the same as another kernel parameter "tp_printk". If "tp_printk" setup is
called before the "tp_printk_stop_on_boot", it will override the latter
and keep it from being set.
This is similar to other kernel parameter issues, such as:
Commit 745a600cf1a6 ("um: console: Ignore console= option")
or init/do_mounts.c:45 (setup function of "ro" kernel param)
Fix it by checking for a "_" right after the "tp_printk" and if that
exists do not process the parameter.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"New:
- The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools
directory.
- Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~
"match-string"
- eprobes can now be filtered like any other event.
- trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads
to safely write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing
user space, but we will not know until we hear about it, and then
can revert the change if need be.
- New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled.
- Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time
instead of at bootup.
Infrastructure changes to support future efforts:
- Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but
the offset to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the
descriptor and not the beginning of the event. Needed for user
defined events.
- Some simplification of event trigger code.
- Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder
other event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined
events.
And other small fixes and cleanups"

Disabling only bottom halves via local_bh_disable() disables also
preemption but this remains invisible to tracing. On a CONFIG_PREEMPT
kernel one might wonder why there is no scheduling happening despite the
N flag in the trace. The reason might be the a rcu_read_lock_bh()
section.
Add a 'b' to the tracing output if in task context with disabled bottom
halves.

osnoise tracer on ppc64le is triggering osnoise_taint() for negative
duration in get_int_safe_duration() called from
trace_sched_switch_callback()->thread_exit().
The problem though is that the check for a valid trace_percpu_buffer is
incorrect in get_trace_buf(). The check is being done after calculating
the pointer for the current cpu, rather than on the main percpu pointer.
Fix the check to be against trace_percpu_buffer.

The tracing marker files are write-only streams with no meaningful
concept of file position. Using stream_open() to mark them as
stream-link indicates this and has the added advantage that a single
file descriptor can now be used from multiple threads without contention
thanks to clearing FMODE_ATOMIC_POS.
Note that this has the potential to break existing userspace by since
both lseek(2) and pwrite(2) will now return ESPIPE when previously lseek
would have updated the stored offset and pwrite would have appended to
the trace. A survey of libtracefs and several other projects found to
use trace_marker(_raw) [1][2][3] suggests that everyone limits
themselves to calling write(2) and close(2) on these file descriptors so
there is a good chance this will go unnoticed and the benefits of
reduced overhead and lock contention seem worth the risk.

In case trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() is called with preemption
enabled, the algorithm that defines the usage of the per cpu filter buffer
may fail if the task schedules to another CPU after determining which
buffer it will use.
Disable preemption when using the filter buffer. And because that same
buffer must be used throughout the call, keep preemption disabled until
the filter buffer is released.
This will also keep the semantics between the use case of when the filter
buffer is used, and when the ring buffer itself is used, as that case also
disables preemption until the ring buffer is released.

If trace_seq becomes full, trace_seq_vprintf() no longer consumes
arguments from va_list, making va_list out of sync with format
processing by trace_check_vprintf().
This causes va_arg() in trace_check_vprintf() to return wrong
positional argument, which results into a WARN_ON_ONCE() hit.
ftrace_stress_test from LTP triggers this situation.
Fix it by explicitly avoiding further use if va_list at the point
when it's consistency can no longer be guaranteed.

- Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform
calculations against the event's fields.
- Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace

When building the files in the tracefs file system, do not by default set
any permissions for OTH (other). This will make it easier for admins who
want to define a group for accessing tracefs and not having to first
disable all the permission bits for "other" in the file system.
As tracing can leak sensitive information, it should never by default
allowing all users access. An admin can still set the permission bits for
others to have access, which may be useful for creating a honeypot and
seeing who takes advantage of it and roots the machine.

Instead of having the logic that does trace_pid_list open coded, wrap it in
abstract functions. This will allow a rewrite of the logic that implements
the trace_pid_list without affecting the users.
Note, this causes a change in behavior. Every time a pid is written into
the set_*_pid file, it creates a new list and uses RCU to update it. If
pid_max is lowered, but there was a pid currently in the list that was
higher than pid_max, those pids will now be removed on updating the list.
The old behavior kept that from happening.
The rewrite of the pid_list logic will no longer depend on pid_max,
and will return the old behavior.

migrate_disable() forbids task migration to another CPU. It is available
since v5.11 and has already users such as highmem or BPF. It is useful
to observe this task state in tracing which already has other states
like the preemption counter.
Instead of adding the migrate disable counter as a new entry to struct
trace_entry, which would extend the whole struct by four bytes, it is
squashed into the preempt-disable counter. The lower four bits represent
the preemption counter, the upper four bits represent the migrate
disable counter. Both counter shouldn't exceed 15 but if they do, there
is a safety net which caps the value at 15.
Add the migrate-disable counter to the trace entry so it shows up in the
trace. Due to the users mentioned above, it is already possible to
observe it:
| bash-1108 [000] ...21 73.950578: rss_stat: mm_id=2213312838 curr=0 type=MM_ANONPAGES size=8192B
| bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: irq_disable: caller=flush_tlb_mm_range+0x115/0x130 parent=ptep_clear_flush+0x42/0x50
| bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: tlb_flush: pages:1 reason:local mm shootdown (3)
The last value is the migrate-disable counter.
Things that popped up:
- trace_print_lat_context() does not print the migrate counter. Not sure
if it should. It is used in "verbose" mode and uses 8 digits and I'm
not sure ther is something processing the value.
- trace_define_common_fields() now defines a different variable. This
probably breaks things. No ide what to do in order to preserve the old
behaviour. Since this is used as a filter it should be split somehow
to be able to match both nibbles here.

A new dynamic event is introduced: event probe. The event is attached
to an existing tracepoint and uses its fields as arguments. The user
can specify custom format string of the new event, select what tracepoint
arguments will be printed and how to print them.
An event probe is created by writing configuration string in
'dynamic_events' ftrace file:
e[:[SNAME/]ENAME] SYSTEM/EVENT [FETCHARGS] - Set an event probe
-:SNAME/ENAME - Delete an event probe
Where:
SNAME - System name, if omitted 'eprobes' is used.
ENAME - Name of the new event in SNAME, if omitted the SYSTEM_EVENT is used.
SYSTEM - Name of the system, where the tracepoint is defined, mandatory.
EVENT - Name of the tracepoint event in SYSTEM, mandatory.
FETCHARGS - Arguments:
<name>=$<field>[:TYPE] - Fetch given filed of the tracepoint and print
it as given TYPE with given name. Supported
types are:
(u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), basic type
(x8/x16/x32/x64), hexadecimal types
"string", "ustring" and bitfield.
Example, attach an event probe on openat system call and print name of the
file that will be opened:
echo "e:esys/eopen syscalls/sys_enter_openat file=\$filename:string" >> dynamic_events
A new dynamic event is created in events/esys/eopen/ directory. It
can be deleted with:
echo "-:esys/eopen" >> dynamic_events
Filters, triggers and histograms can be attached to the new event, it can
be matched in synthetic events. There is one limitation - an event probe
can not be attached to kprobe, uprobe or another event probe.

As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to
one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep
the dynamic event from going away.
Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure,
make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for
each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the
DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.

All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the
message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI
context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough.
There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into
the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk
deferred printing:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c
arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c
kernel/trace/trace.c
For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new
function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the
same objective.
For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was
added in commit 03fc7f9c99c1 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when
accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce
storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context.
It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context.
There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are
always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled
transparently in vprintk().

Currently the histogram logic allows the user to write "cpu" in as an
event field, and it will record the CPU that the event happened on.
The problem with this is that there's a lot of events that have "cpu"
as a real field, and using "cpu" as the CPU it ran on, makes it
impossible to run histograms on the "cpu" field of events.
For example, if I want to have a histogram on the count of the
workqueue_queue_work event on its cpu field, running:
># echo 'hist:keys=cpu' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
Gives a misleading and wrong result.
Change the command to "common_cpu" as no event should have "common_*"
fields as that's a reserved name for fields used by all events. And
this makes sense here as common_cpu would be a field used by all events.
Now we can even do:
># echo 'hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu if cpu < 100' > events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/trigger
># cat events/workqueue/workqueue_queue_work/hist
# event histogram
#
# trigger info: hist:keys=common_cpu,cpu:vals=hitcount:sort=hitcount:size=2048 if cpu < 100 [active]
#
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 7, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 7 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 1
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 2
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 2
{ common_cpu: 1, cpu: 1 } hitcount: 4
{ common_cpu: 6, cpu: 6 } hitcount: 4
{ common_cpu: 5, cpu: 5 } hitcount: 14
{ common_cpu: 4, cpu: 4 } hitcount: 26
{ common_cpu: 0, cpu: 0 } hitcount: 39
{ common_cpu: 2, cpu: 2 } hitcount: 184
Now for backward compatibility, I added a trick. If "cpu" is used, and
the field is not found, it will fall back to "common_cpu" and work as
it did before. This way, it will still work for old programs that use
"cpu" to get the actual CPU, but if the event has a "cpu" as a field, it
will get that event's "cpu" field, which is probably what it wants
anyway.
I updated the tracefs/README to include documentation about both the
common_timestamp and the common_cpu. This way, if that text is present in
the README, then an application can know that common_cpu is supported over
just plain "cpu".

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Added option for per CPU threads to the hwlat tracer
- Have hwlat tracer handle hotplug CPUs
- New tracer: osnoise, that detects latency caused by interrupts,
softirqs and scheduling of other tasks.
- Added timerlat tracer that creates a thread and measures in detail
what sources of latency it has for wake ups.
- Removed the "success" field of the sched_wakeup trace event. This has
been hardcoded as "1" since 2015, no tooling should be looking at it
now. If one exists, we can revert this commit, fix that tool and try
to remove it again in the future.
- tgid mapping fixed to handle more than PID_MAX_DEFAULT pids/tgids.
- New boot command line option "tp_printk_stop", as tp_printk causes
trace events to write to console. When user space starts, this can
easily live lock the system. Having a boot option to stop just after
boot up is useful to prevent that from happening.
- Have ftrace_dump_on_oops boot command line option take numbers that
match the numbers shown in /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops.
- Bootconfig clean ups, fixes and enhancements.
- New ktest script that tests bootconfig options.
- Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() to register a tracepoint
without triggering a WARN*() if it already exists. BPF has a path
from user space that can do this. All other paths are considered a
bug.

Currently tgid_map is sized at PID_MAX_DEFAULT entries, which means that
on systems where pid_max is configured higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT the
ftrace record-tgid option doesn't work so well. Any tasks with PIDs
higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT are simply not recorded in tgid_map, and
don't show up in the saved_tgids file.
In particular since systemd v243 & above configure pid_max to its
highest possible 1<<22 value by default on 64 bit systems this renders
the record-tgids option of little use.
Increase the size of tgid_map to the configured pid_max instead,
allowing it to cover the full range of PIDs up to the maximum value of
PID_MAX_LIMIT if the system is configured that way.
On 64 bit systems with pid_max == PID_MAX_LIMIT this will increase the
size of tgid_map from 256KiB to 16MiB. Whilst this 64x increase in
memory overhead sounds significant 64 bit systems are presumably best
placed to accommodate it, and since tgid_map is only allocated when the
record-tgid option is actually used presumably the user would rather it
spends sufficient memory to actually record the tgids they expect.
The size of tgid_map could also increase for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=y
configurations, but these seem unlikely to be systems upon which people
are both configuring a large pid_max and running ftrace with record-tgid
anyway.
Of note is that we only allocate tgid_map once, the first time that the
record-tgid option is enabled. Therefore its size is only set once, to
the value of pid_max at the time the record-tgid option is first
enabled. If a user increases pid_max after that point, the saved_tgids
file will not contain entries for any tasks with pids beyond the earlier
value of pid_max.

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out panic and
oops helpers.
There are several purposes of doing this:
- dropping dependency in bug.h
- dropping a loop by moving out panic_notifier.h
- unload kernel.h from something which has its own domain
At the same time convert users tree-wide to use new headers, although for
the time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.

The tgid_map array records a mapping from pid to tgid, where the index
of an entry within the array is the pid & the value stored at that index
is the tgid.
The saved_tgids_next() function iterates over pointers into the tgid_map
array & dereferences the pointers which results in the tgid, but then it
passes that dereferenced value to trace_find_tgid() which treats it as a
pid & does a further lookup within the tgid_map array. It seems likely
that the intent here was to skip over entries in tgid_map for which the
recorded tgid is zero, but instead we end up skipping over entries for
which the thread group leader hasn't yet had its own tgid recorded in
tgid_map.
A minimal fix would be to remove the call to trace_find_tgid, turning:
if (trace_find_tgid(*ptr))
into:
if (*ptr)
..but it seems like this logic can be much simpler if we simply let
seq_read() iterate over the whole tgid_map array & filter out empty
entries by returning SEQ_SKIP from saved_tgids_show(). Here we take that
approach, removing the incorrect logic here entirely.

declaration in the header file the same as in the C file, just have the
logic needed to define it in one place, and that defines LATENCY_FS_NOTIFY
which will be used in the C code.

The hwlat detector and (in preparation for) the osnoise/timerlat tracers
have a set of u64 parameters that the user can read/write via tracefs.
For instance, we have hwlat_detector's window and width.
To reduce the code duplication, hwlat's window and width share the same
read function. However, they do not share the write functions because
they do different parameter checks. For instance, the width needs to
be smaller than the window, while the window needs to be larger
than the window. The same pattern repeats on osnoise/timerlat, and
a large portion of the code was devoted to the write function.
Despite having different checks, the write functions have the same
structure:
read a user-space buffer
take the lock that protects the value
check for minimum and maximum acceptable values
save the value
release the lock
return success or error
To reduce the code duplication also in the write functions, this patch
provides a generic read and write implementation for u64 values that
need to be within some minimum and/or maximum parameters, while
(potentially) being protected by a lock.
To use this interface, the structure trace_min_max_param needs to be
filled:
struct trace_min_max_param {
struct mutex *lock;
u64 *val;
u64 *min;
u64 *max;
};
The desired value is stored on the variable pointed by *val. If *min
points to a minimum acceptable value, it will be checked during the
write operation. Likewise, if *max points to a maximum allowable value,
it will be checked during the write operation. Finally, if *lock points
to a mutex, it will be taken at the beginning of the operation and
released at the end.
The definition of a trace_min_max_param needs to passed as the
(private) *data for tracefs_create_file(), and the trace_min_max_fops
(added by this patch) as the *fops file_operations.

A while ago, when the "trace" file was opened, tracing was stopped, and
code was added to stop recording the comms to saved_cmdlines, for mapping
of the pids to the task name.
Code has been added that only records the comm if a trace event occurred,
and there's no reason to not trace it if the trace file is opened.

The saved_cmdlines is used to map pids to the task name, such that the
output of the tracing does not just show pids, but also gives a human
readable name for the task.
If the name is not mapped, the output looks like this:
<...>-1316 [005] ...2 132.044039: ...
Instead of this:
gnome-shell-1316 [005] ...2 132.044039: ...
The names are updated when tracing is running, but are skipped if tracing
is stopped. Unfortunately, this stops the recording of the names if the
top level tracer is stopped, and not if there's other tracers active.
The recording of a name only happens when a new event is written into a
ring buffer, so there is no need to test if tracing is on or not. If
tracing is off, then no event is written and no need to test if tracing is
off or not.
Remove the check, as it hides the names of tasks for events in the
instance buffers.

The kernel parameter for ftrace_dump_on_oops can take a single assignment.
That is, it can be:
ftrace_dump_on_oops or ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu
But the content in the sysctl file is a number.
0 for disabled
1 for ftrace_dump_on_oops (all CPUs)
2 for ftrace_dump_on_oops (orig CPU)
Allow the kernel command line to take a number as well to match the sysctl
numbers.
That is:
ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 is the same as ftrace_dump_on_oops
and
ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 is the same as ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu

Add a kernel command line option that disables printing of events to
console at late_initcall_sync(). This is useful when needing to see
specific events written to console on boot up, but not wanting it when
user space starts, as user space may make the console so noisy that the
system becomes inoperable.

When filtering is enabled, the event is copied into a temp buffer instead
of being written into the ring buffer directly, because the discarding of
events from the ring buffer is very expensive, and doing the extra copy is
much faster than having to discard most of the time.
As that logic is subtle, add comments to explain in more detail to what is
going on and how it works.

When filtering trace events, a temp buffer is used because the extra copy
from the temp buffer into the ring buffer is still faster than the direct
write into the ring buffer followed by a discard if the filter does not
match.
But the data that can be stored in the temp buffer is a PAGE_SIZE minus the
ring buffer event header. The calculation of that header size is complex,
but using the helper macro "struct_size()" can simplify it.
