Then when specifying '-d' for kexec_file_load interface, loaded locations
of kernel/initrd/cmdline etc can be printed out to help debug.
Here replace pr_debug() with the newly added kexec_dprintk() in kexec_file
loading related codes.
And also print out type/start/head of kimage and flags to help debug.

Patch series "kexec_file: print out debugging message if required", v4.
Currently, specifying '-d' on kexec command will print a lot of debugging
informationabout kexec/kdump loading with kexec_load interface.
However, kexec_file_load prints nothing even though '-d' is specified.
It's very inconvenient to debug or analyze the kexec/kdump loading when
something wrong happened with kexec/kdump itself or develper want to check
the kexec/kdump loading.
In this patchset, a kexec_file flag is KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG added and checked
in code. If it's passed in, debugging message of kexec_file code will be
printed out and can be seen from console and dmesg. Otherwise, the
debugging message is printed like beofre when pr_debug() is taken.
Note:
****
=====
1) The code in kexec-tools utility also need be changed to support
passing KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG to kernel when 'kexec -s -d' is specified.
The patch link is here:

[PATCH] kexec_file: add kexec_file flag to support debug printing
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2023-November/028505.html
2) s390 also has kexec_file code, while I am not sure what debugging
information is necessary. So leave it to s390 developer.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch (of 7):
When specifying 'kexec -c -d', kexec_load interface will print loading
information, e.g the regions where kernel/initrd/purgatory/cmdline are
put, the memmap passed to 2nd kernel taken as system RAM ranges, and
printing all contents of struct kexec_segment, etc. These are very
helpful for analyzing or positioning what's happening when kexec/kdump
itself failed. The debugging printing for kexec_load interface is made in
user space utility kexec-tools.
Whereas, with kexec_file_load interface, 'kexec -s -d' print nothing.
Because kexec_file code is mostly implemented in kernel space, and the
debugging printing functionality is missed. It's not convenient when
debugging kexec/kdump loading and jumping with kexec_file_load interface.
Now add KEXEC_FILE_DEBUG to kexec_file flag to control the debugging
message printing. And add global variable kexec_file_dbg_print and macro
kexec_dprintk() to facilitate the printing.
This is a preparation, later kexec_dprintk() will be used to replace the
existing pr_debug(). Once 'kexec -s -d' is specified, it will print out
kexec/kdump loading information. If '-d' is not specified, it regresses
to pr_debug().

All other users of crypto code use 'select' instead of 'depends on', so do
the same thing with KEXEC_FILE for consistency.
In practice this makes very little difference as kernels with kexec
support are very likely to also include some other feature that already
selects both crypto and crypto_sha256, but being consistent here helps for
usability as well as to avoid potential circular dependencies.
This reverts the dependency back to what it was originally before commit
74ca317c26a3f ("kexec: create a new config option CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE for
new syscall"), which changed changed it with the comment "This should be
safer as "select" is not recursive", but that appears to have been done in
error, as "select" is indeed recursive, and there are no other
dependencies that prevent CRYPTO_SHA256 from being selected here.

The cleanup for the CONFIG_KEXEC Kconfig logic accidentally changed the
'depends on CRYPTO=y' dependency to a plain 'depends on CRYPTO', which
causes a link failure when all the crypto support is in a loadable module
and kexec_file support is built-in:
x86_64-linux-ld: vmlinux.o: in function `__x64_sys_kexec_file_load':
(.text+0x32e30a): undefined reference to `crypto_alloc_shash'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e58e): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_update'
x86_64-linux-ld: (.text+0x32e6ee): undefined reference to `crypto_shash_final'
Both s390 and x86 have this problem, while ppc64 and riscv have the
correct dependency already. On riscv, the dependency is only used for the
purgatory, not for the kexec_file code itself, which may be a bit
surprising as it means that with CONFIG_CRYPTO=m, it is possible to enable
KEXEC_FILE but then the purgatory code is silently left out.
Move this into the common Kconfig.kexec file in a way that is correct
everywhere, using the dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256=y only when the
purgatory code is available. This requires reversing the dependency
between ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_PURGATORY and KEXEC_FILE, but the effect
remains the same, other than making riscv behave like the other ones.
On s390, there is an additional dependency on CRYPTO_SHA256_S390, which
should technically not be required but gives better performance. Remove
this dependency here, noting that it was not present in the initial
Kconfig code but was brought in without an explanation in commit
71406883fd357 ("s390/kexec_file: Add kexec_file_load system call").

At present, bpf memory allocator uses check_obj_size() to ensure that
ksize() of allocated pointer is equal with the unit_size of used
bpf_mem_cache. Its purpose is to prevent bpf_mem_free() from selecting
a bpf_mem_cache which has different unit_size compared with the
bpf_mem_cache used for allocation. But as reported by lkp, the return
value of ksize() or kmalloc_size_roundup() may change due to slab merge
and it will lead to the warning report in check_obj_size().
The reported warning happened as follows:
(1) in bpf_mem_cache_adjust_size(), kmalloc_size_roundup(96) returns the
object_size of kmalloc-96 instead of kmalloc-cg-96. The object_size of
kmalloc-96 is 96, so size_index for 96 is not adjusted accordingly.
(2) the object_size of kmalloc-cg-96 is adjust from 96 to 128 due to
slab merge in __kmem_cache_alias(). For SLAB, SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN is
enabled by default for kmalloc slab, so align is 64 and size is 128 for
kmalloc-cg-96. SLUB has a similar merge logic, but its object_size will
not be changed, because its align is 8 under x86-64.
(3) when unit_alloc() does kmalloc_node(96, __GFP_ACCOUNT, node),
ksize() returns 128 instead of 96 for the returned pointer.
(4) the warning in check_obj_size() is triggered.
Considering the slab merge can happen in anytime (e.g, a slab created in
a new module), the following case is also possible: during the
initialization of bpf_global_ma, there is no slab merge and ksize() for
a 96-bytes object returns 96. But after that a new slab created by a
kernel module is merged to kmalloc-cg-96 and the object_size of
kmalloc-cg-96 is adjust from 96 to 128 (which is possible for x86-64 +
CONFIG_SLAB, because its alignment requirement is 64 for 96-bytes slab).
So soon or later, when bpf_global_ma frees a 96-byte-sized pointer
which is allocated from bpf_mem_cache with unit_size=96, bpf_mem_free()
will free the pointer through a bpf_mem_cache in which unit_size is 128,
because the return value of ksize() changes. The warning for the
mismatch will be triggered again.
A feasible fix is introducing similar APIs compared with ksize() and
kmalloc_size_roundup() to return the actually-allocated size instead of
size which may change due to slab merge, but it will introduce
unnecessary dependency on the implementation details of mm subsystem.
As for now the pointer of bpf_mem_cache is saved in the 8-bytes area
(or 4-bytes under 32-bit host) above the returned pointer, using
unit_size in the saved bpf_mem_cache to select the target cache instead
of inferring the size from the pointer itself. Beside no extra
dependency on mm subsystem, the performance for bpf_mem_free_rcu() is
also improved as shown below.
Before applying the patch, the performances of bpf_mem_alloc() and
bpf_mem_free_rcu() on 8-CPUs VM with one producer are as follows:
kmalloc : alloc 11.69 ± 0.28M/s free 29.58 ± 0.93M/s
percpu : alloc 14.11 ± 0.52M/s free 14.29 ± 0.99M/s
After apply the patch, the performance for bpf_mem_free_rcu() increases
9% and 146% for kmalloc memory and per-cpu memory respectively:
kmalloc: alloc 11.01 ± 0.03M/s free 32.42 ± 0.48M/s
percpu: alloc 12.84 ± 0.12M/s free 35.24 ± 0.23M/s
After the fixes, there is no need to adjust size_index to fix the
mismatch between allocation and free, so remove it as well. Also return
NULL instead of ZERO_SIZE_PTR for zero-sized alloc in bpf_mem_alloc(),
because there is no bpf_mem_cache pointer saved above ZERO_SIZE_PTR.

When no timer is queued into an empty timer base, the next_expiry will not
be updated. It was originally calculated as
base->clk + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA
When the timer base stays empty long enough (> NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA), the
next_expiry value of the empty base suggests that there is a timer pending
soon. This might be more a kind of a theoretical problem, but the fix
doesn't hurt.
Use only base->next_expiry value as nextevt when timers are
pending. Otherwise nextevt will be jiffies + NEXT_TIMER_MAX_DELTA. As all
information is in place, update base->next_expiry value of the empty timer
base as well.

To improve readability of the code, split base->idle calculation and
expires calculation into separate parts. While at it, update the comment
about timer base idle marking.
Thereby the following subtle change happens if the next event is just one
jiffy ahead and the tick was already stopped: Originally base->is_idle
remains true in this situation. Now base->is_idle turns to false. This may
spare an IPI if a timer is enqueued remotely to an idle CPU that is going
to tick on the next jiffy.

For starting a timer, the timer is enqueued into a bucket of the timer
wheel. The bucket expiry is the defacto expiry of the timer but it is not
equal the timer expiry because of increasing granularity when bucket is in
a higher level of the wheel. To be able to figure out in a trace whether a
timer expired in time or not, the bucket expiry time is required as well.
Add bucket expiry time to the timer_start tracepoint and thereby simplify
the arguments.

When the next tick is in the past, the delta between basemono and the next
tick gets negativ. But the next tick should never be in the past. The
negative effect of a wrong next tick might be a stop of the tick and timers
might expire late.
To prevent expensive debugging when changing underlying code, add a
WARN_ON_ONCE into this code path. To prevent complete misbehaviour, also
reset next_tick to basemono in this case.

As the size of the ring sub buffer page can be changed dynamically,
the logic that reads and writes to the buffer should be fixed to take
that into account. Some internal ring buffer APIs are changed:
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page()
ring_buffer_free_read_page()
ring_buffer_read_page()
A new API is introduced:
ring_buffer_read_page_data()

There are two approaches when changing the size of the ring buffer
sub page:
1. Destroying all pages and allocating new pages with the new size.
2. Allocating new pages, copying the content of the old pages before
destroying them.
The first approach is easier, it is selected in the proposed
implementation. Changing the ring buffer sub page size is supposed to
not happen frequently. Usually, that size should be set only once,
when the buffer is not in use yet and is supposed to be empty.

The trace ring buffer sub page size can be configured, per trace
instance. A new ftrace file "buffer_subbuf_order" is added to get and
set the size of the ring buffer sub page for current trace instance.
The size must be an order of system page size, that's why the new
interface works with system page order, instead of absolute page size:
0 means the ring buffer sub page is equal to 1 system page and so
forth:
0 - 1 system page
1 - 2 system pages
2 - 4 system pages
...
The ring buffer sub page size is limited between 1 and 128 system
pages. The default value is 1 system page.
New ring buffer APIs are introduced:
ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set()
ring_buffer_subbuf_order_get()
ring_buffer_subbuf_size_get()

Add ability to pass a pointer to dynptr into global functions.
This allows to have global subprogs that accept and work with generic
dynptrs that are created by caller. Dynptr argument is detected based on
the name of a struct type, if it's "bpf_dynptr", it's assumed to be
a proper dynptr pointer. Both actual struct and forward struct
declaration types are supported.
This is conceptually exactly the same semantics as
bpf_user_ringbuf_drain()'s use of dynptr to pass a variable-sized
pointer to ringbuf record. So we heavily rely on CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR
bits of already existing logic in the verifier.
During global subprog validation, we mark such CONST_PTR_TO_DYNPTR as
having LOCAL type, as that's the most unassuming type of dynptr and it
doesn't have any special helpers that can try to free or acquire extra
references (unlike skb, xdp, or ringbuf dynptr). So that seems like a safe
"choice" to make from correctness standpoint. It's still possible to
pass any type of dynptr to such subprog, though, because generic dynptr
helpers, like getting data/slice pointers, read/write memory copying
routines, dynptr adjustment and getter routines all work correctly with
any type of dynptr.

Add support for annotating global BPF subprog arguments to provide more
information about expected semantics of the argument. Currently,
verifier relies purely on argument's BTF type information, and supports
three general use cases: scalar, pointer-to-context, and
pointer-to-fixed-size-memory.
Scalar and pointer-to-fixed-mem work well in practice and are quite
natural to use. But pointer-to-context is a bit problematic, as typical
BPF users don't realize that they need to use a special type name to
signal to verifier that argument is not just some pointer, but actually
a PTR_TO_CTX. Further, even if users do know which type to use, it is
limiting in situations where the same BPF program logic is used across
few different program types. Common case is kprobes, tracepoints, and
perf_event programs having a helper to send some data over BPF perf
buffer. bpf_perf_event_output() requires `ctx` argument, and so it's
quite cumbersome to share such global subprog across few BPF programs of
different types, necessitating extra static subprog that is context
type-agnostic.
Long story short, there is a need to go beyond types and allow users to
add hints to global subprog arguments to define expectations.
This patch adds such support for two initial special tags:
- pointer to context;
- non-null qualifier for generic pointer arguments.
All of the above came up in practice already and seem generally useful
additions. Non-null qualifier is an often requested feature, which
currently has to be worked around by having unnecessary NULL checks
inside subprogs even if we know that arguments are never NULL. Pointer
to context was discussed earlier.
As for implementation, we utilize btf_decl_tag attribute and set up an
"arg:xxx" convention to specify argument hint. As such:
- btf_decl_tag("arg:ctx") is a PTR_TO_CTX hint;
- btf_decl_tag("arg:nonnull") marks pointer argument as not allowed to
be NULL, making NULL check inside global subprog unnecessary.

Remove duplicated BTF parsing logic when it comes to subprog call check.
Instead, use (potentially cached) results of btf_prepare_func_args() to
abstract away expectations of each subprog argument in generic terms
(e.g., "this is pointer to context", or "this is a pointer to memory of
size X"), and then use those simple high-level argument type
expectations to validate actual register states to check if they match
expectations.

Subprog call logic in btf_check_subprog_call() currently has both a lot
of BTF parsing logic (which is, presumably, what justified putting it
into btf.c), but also a bunch of register state checks, some of each
utilize deep verifier logic helpers, necessarily exported from
verifier.c: check_ptr_off_reg(), check_func_arg_reg_off(),
and check_mem_reg().
Going forward, btf_check_subprog_call() will have a minimum of
BTF-related logic, but will get more internal verifier logic related to
register state manipulation. So move it into verifier.c to minimize
amount of verifier-specific logic exposed to btf.c.
We do this move before refactoring btf_check_func_arg_match() to
preserve as much history post-refactoring as possible.
No functional changes.

Generalize btf_prepare_func_args() to support both global and static
subprogs. We are going to utilize this property in the next patch,
reusing btf_prepare_func_args() for subprog call logic instead of
reparsing BTF information in a completely separate implementation.
btf_prepare_func_args() now detects whether subprog is global or static
makes slight logic adjustments for static func cases, like not failing
fatally (-EFAULT) for conditions that are allowable for static subprogs.
Somewhat subtle (but major!) difference is the handling of pointer arguments.
Both global and static functions need to handle special context
arguments (which are pointers to predefined type names), but static
subprogs give up on any other pointers, falling back to marking subprog
as "unreliable", disabling the use of BTF type information altogether.
For global functions, though, we are assuming that such pointers to
unrecognized types are just pointers to fixed-sized memory region (or
error out if size cannot be established, like for `void *` pointers).
This patch accommodates these small differences and sets up a stage for
refactoring in the next patch, eliminating a separate BTF-based parsing
logic in btf_check_func_arg_match().

Instead of btf_check_subprog_arg_match(), use btf_prepare_func_args()
logic to validate "trustworthiness" of main BPF program's BTF information,
if it is present.
We ignored results of original BTF check anyway, often times producing
confusing and ominously-sounding "reg type unsupported for arg#0
function" message, which has no apparent effect on program correctness
and verification process.
All the -EFAULT returning sanity checks are already performed in
check_btf_info_early(), so there is zero reason to have this duplication
of logic between btf_check_subprog_call() and btf_check_subprog_arg_match().
Dropping btf_check_subprog_arg_match() simplifies
btf_check_func_arg_match() further removing `bool processing_call` flag.
One subtle bit that was done by btf_check_subprog_arg_match() was
potentially marking main program's BTF as unreliable. We do this
explicitly now with a dedicated simple check, preserving the original
behavior, but now based on well factored btf_prepare_func_args() logic.

btf_prepare_func_args() is used to understand expectations and
restrictions on global subprog arguments. But current implementation is
hard to extend, as it intermixes BTF-based func prototype parsing and
interpretation logic with setting up register state at subprog entry.
Worse still, those registers are not completely set up inside
btf_prepare_func_args(), requiring some more logic later in
do_check_common(). Like calling mark_reg_unknown() and similar
initialization operations.
This intermixing of BTF interpretation and register state setup is
problematic. First, it causes duplication of BTF parsing logic for global
subprog verification (to set up initial state of global subprog) and
global subprog call sites analysis (when we need to check that whatever
is being passed into global subprog matches expectations), performed in
btf_check_subprog_call().
Given we want to extend global func argument with tags later, this
duplication is problematic. So refactor btf_prepare_func_args() to do
only BTF-based func proto and args parsing, returning high-level
argument "expectations" only, with no regard to specifics of register
state. I.e., if it's a context argument, instead of setting register
state to PTR_TO_CTX, we return ARG_PTR_TO_CTX enum for that argument as
"an argument specification" for further processing inside
do_check_common(). Similarly for SCALAR arguments, PTR_TO_MEM, etc.
This allows to reuse btf_prepare_func_args() in following patches at
global subprog call site analysis time. It also keeps register setup
code consistently in one place, do_check_common().
Besides all this, we cache this argument specs information inside
env->subprog_info, eliminating the need to redo these potentially
expensive BTF traversals, especially if BPF program's BTF is big and/or
there are lots of global subprog calls.

We can derive some new information for BPF_JNE in regs_refine_cond_op().
Take following code for example:
/* The type of "a" is u32 */
if (a > 0 && a < 100) {
/* the range of the register for a is [0, 99], not [1, 99],
* and will cause the following error:
*
* invalid zero-sized read
*
* as a can be 0.
*/
bpf_skb_store_bytes(skb, xx, xx, a, 0);
}
In the code above, "a > 0" will be compiled to "jmp xxx if a == 0". In the
TRUE branch, the dst_reg will be marked as known to 0. However, in the
fallthrough(FALSE) branch, the dst_reg will not be handled, which makes
the [min, max] for a is [0, 99], not [1, 99].
For BPF_JNE, we can reduce the range of the dst reg if the src reg is a
const and is exactly the edge of the dst reg.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"While working on the ring buffer, I found one more bug with the
timestamp code, and the fix for this removed the need for the final
64-bit cmpxchg!
The ring buffer events hold a "delta" from the previous event. If it
is determined that the delta can not be calculated, it falls back to
adding an absolute timestamp value. The way to know if the delta can
be used is via two stored timestamps in the per-cpu buffer meta data:
before_stamp and write_stamp
The before_stamp is written by every event before it tries to allocate
its space on the ring buffer. The write_stamp is written after it
allocates its space and knows that nothing came in after it read the
previous before_stamp and write_stamp and the two matched.
A previous fix dd9394257078 ("ring-buffer: Do not try to put back
write_stamp") removed putting back the write_stamp to match the
before_stamp so that the next event could use the delta, but races
were found where the two would match, but not be for of the previous
event.
It was determined to allow the event reservation to not have a valid
write_stamp when it is finished, and this fixed a lot of races.
The last use of the 64-bit timestamp cmpxchg depended on the
write_stamp being valid after an interruption. But this is no longer
the case, as if an event is interrupted by a softirq that writes an
event, and that event gets interrupted by a hardirq or NMI and that
writes an event, then the softirq could finish its reservation without
a valid write_stamp.
In the slow path of the event reservation, a delta can still be used
if the write_stamp is valid. Instead of using a cmpxchg against the
write stamp, the before_stamp needs to be read again to validate the
write_stamp. The cmpxchg is not needed.
This updates the slowpath to validate the write_stamp by comparing it
to the before_stamp and removes all rb_time_cmpxchg() as there are no
more users of that function.
The removal of the 32-bit updates of rb_time_t will be done in the
next merge window"

The check_buffer() which checks the timestamps of the ring buffer
sub-buffer page, when enabled, only checks if the adding of deltas of the
events from the last absolute timestamp or the timestamp of the sub-buffer
page adds up to the current event.
What it does not check is if the absolute timestamp causes the time of the
events to go backwards, as that can cause issues elsewhere.
Test for the timestamp going backwards too.
This also fixes a slight issue where if the warning triggers at boot up
(because of the resetting of the tsc), it will disable all further checks,
even those that are after boot Have it continue checking if the warning
was ignored during boot up.

When the ring buffer timestamp verifier triggers, it dumps the content of
the sub-buffer. But currently it only dumps the timestamps and the offset
of the data as well as the deltas. It would be even more informative if
the event data also showed the interrupt context level it was in.
That is, if each event showed that the event was written in normal,
softirq, irq or NMI context. Then a better idea about how the events may
have been interrupted from each other.
As the payload of the ring buffer is really a black box of the ring
buffer, just assume that if the payload is larger than a trace entry, that
it is a trace entry. As trace entries have the interrupt context
information saved in a flags field, look at that location and report the
output of the flags.
If the payload is not a trace entry, there's no way to really know, and
the information will be garbage. But that's OK, because this is for
debugging only (this output is not used in production as the buffer check
that calls it causes a huge overhead to the tracing). This information,
when available, is crucial for debugging timestamp issues. If it's
garbage, it will also be pretty obvious that its garbage too.
As this output usually happens in kselftests of the tracing code, the user
will know what the payload is at the time.

Each event has a 27 bit timestamp delta that is used to hold the delta
from the last event. If the time between events is greater than 2^27, then
a timestamp is added that holds a 59 bit absolute timestamp.
Until a389d86f7fd09 ("ring-buffer: Have nested events still record running
time stamp"), if an interrupt interrupted an event in progress, all the
events delta would be zero to not deal with the races that need to be
handled. The commit a389d86f7fd09 changed that to handle the races giving
all events, even those that preempt other events, still have an accurate
timestamp.
To handle those races requires performing 64-bit cmpxchg on the
timestamps. But doing 64-bit cmpxchg on 32-bit architectures is considered
very slow. To try to deal with this the timestamp logic was broken into
two and then three 32-bit cmpxchgs, with the thought that two (or three)
32-bit cmpxchgs are still faster than a single 64-bit cmpxchg on 32-bit
architectures.
Part of the problem with this is that I didn't have any 32-bit
architectures to test on. After hitting several subtle bugs in this code,
an effort was made to try and see if three 32-bit cmpxchgs are indeed
faster than a single 64-bit. After a few people brushed off the dust of
their old 32-bit machines, tests were done, and even though 32-bit cmpxchg
was faster than a single 64-bit, it was in the order of 50% at best, not
300%.
After some more refactoring of the code, all 4 64-bit cmpxchg were removed:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231211114420.36dde01b@gandalf.local.home
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231214222921.193037a7@gandalf.local.home

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231218230712.3a76b081@gandalf.local.home/
With all the 64-bit cmpxchg removed, the complex 32-bit workaround can also be
removed.
The 32-bit and 64-bit logic is now exactly the same.

There's no reason to give an arbitrary limit to the size of a raw trace
marker. Just let it be as big as the size that is allowed by the ring
buffer itself.
And there's also no reason to artificially break up the write to
TRACE_BUF_SIZE, as that's not even used.

If a trace_marker write is bigger than what trace_seq can hold, then it
will print "LINE TOO BIG" message and not what was written.
Instead, check if the write is bigger than the trace_seq and break it
up by that size.
Ideally, we could make the trace_seq dynamic that could hold this. But
that's for another time.

Now that trace_marker can hold more than 1KB string, and can write as much
as the ring buffer can hold, the trace_seq is not big enough to hold
writes:
~# a="1234567890"
~# cnt=4080
~# s=""
~# while [ $cnt -gt 10 ]; do
~# s="${s}${a}"
~# cnt=$((cnt-10))
~# done
~# echo $s > trace_marker
~# cat trace
# tracer: nop

By increasing the trace_seq buffer to almost two pages, it can now print
out the first line.
This also subtracts the rest of the trace_seq fields from the buffer, so
that the entire trace_seq is now PAGE_SIZE aligned.

Allow a trace write to be as big as the ring buffer tracing data will
allow. Currently, it only allows writes of 1KB in size, but there's no
reason that it cannot allow what the ring buffer can hold.

On bugs that have the ring buffer timestamp get out of sync, the config
CONFIG_RING_BUFFER_VALIDATE_TIME_DELTAS, that checks for it and if it is
detected it causes a dump of the bad sub buffer.
It shows each event and their timestamp as well as the delta in the event.
But it's also good to see the offset into the subbuffer for that event to
know if how close to the end it is.
Also print where the last event actually ended compared to where it was
expected to end.

A trace instance may only need to enable specific events. As the eventfs
directory of an instance currently creates all events which adds overhead,
allow internal instances to be created with just the events in systems
that they care about. This currently only deals with systems and not
individual events, but this should bring down the overhead of creating
instances for specific use cases quite bit.
The trace_array_get_by_name() now has another parameter "systems". This
parameter is a const string pointer of a comma/space separated list of
event systems that should be created by the trace_array. (Note if the
trace_array already exists, this parameter is ignored).
The list of systems is saved and if a module is loaded, its events will
not be added unless the system for those events also match the systems
string.

To synchronize the timestamps with the ring buffer reservation, there are
two timestamps that are saved in the buffer meta data.
1. before_stamp
2. write_stamp
When the two are equal, the write_stamp is considered valid, as in, it may
be used to calculate the delta of the next event as the write_stamp is the
timestamp of the previous reserved event on the buffer.
This is done by the following:
/*A*/ w = current position on the ring buffer
before = before_stamp
after = write_stamp
ts = read current timestamp
if (before != after) {
write_stamp is not valid, force adding an absolute
timestamp.
}
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts
/*C*/ write = local_add_return(event length, position on ring buffer)
if (w == write - event length) {
/* Nothing interrupted between A and C */
/*E*/ write_stamp = ts;
delta = ts - after
/*
* If nothing interrupted again,
* before_stamp == write_stamp and write_stamp
* can be used to calculate the delta for
* events that come in after this one.
*/
} else {
/*
* The slow path!
* Was interrupted between A and C.
*/
This is the place that there's a bug. We currently have:
after = write_stamp
ts = read current timestamp
/*F*/ if (write == current position on the ring buffer &&
after < ts && cmpxchg(write_stamp, after, ts)) {
delta = ts - after;
} else {
delta = 0;
}
The assumption is that if the current position on the ring buffer hasn't
moved between C and F, then it also was not interrupted, and that the last
event written has a timestamp that matches the write_stamp. That is the
write_stamp is valid.
But this may not be the case:
If a task context event was interrupted by softirq between B and C.
And the softirq wrote an event that got interrupted by a hard irq between
C and E.
and the hard irq wrote an event (does not need to be interrupted)
We have:
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts of normal context
---> interrupted by softirq
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts of softirq context
---> interrupted by hardirq
/*B*/ before_stamp = ts of hard irq context
/*E*/ write_stamp = ts of hard irq context
/* matches and write_stamp valid */
<----
/*E*/ write_stamp = ts of softirq context
/* No longer matches before_stamp, write_stamp is not valid! */
<---
w != write - length, go to slow path
// Right now the order of events in the ring buffer is:
//
// |-- softirq event --|-- hard irq event --|-- normal context event --|
//
after = write_stamp (this is the ts of softirq)
ts = read current timestamp
if (write == current position on the ring buffer [true] &&
after < ts [true] && cmpxchg(write_stamp, after, ts) [true]) {
delta = ts - after [Wrong!]
The delta is to be between the hard irq event and the normal context
event, but the above logic made the delta between the softirq event and
the normal context event, where the hard irq event is between the two. This
will shift all the remaining event timestamps on the sub-buffer
incorrectly.
The write_stamp is only valid if it matches the before_stamp. The cmpxchg
does nothing to help this.
Instead, the following logic can be done to fix this:
before = before_stamp
ts = read current timestamp
before_stamp = ts
after = write_stamp
if (write == current position on the ring buffer &&
after == before && after < ts) {
delta = ts - after
} else {
delta = 0;
}
The above will only use the write_stamp if it still matches before_stamp
and was tested to not have changed since C.
As a bonus, with this logic we do not need any 64-bit cmpxchg() at all!
This means the 32-bit rb_time_t workaround can finally be removed. But
that's for a later time.
