Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Have module addresses get updated in the persistent ring buffer
The addresses of the modules from the previous boot are saved in the
persistent ring buffer. If the same modules are loaded and an address
is in the old buffer points to an address that was both saved in the
persistent ring buffer and is loaded in memory, shift the address to
point to the address that is loaded in memory in the trace event.
- Print function names for irqs off and preempt off callsites
When ignoring the print fmt of a trace event and just printing the
fields directly, have the fields for preempt off and irqs off events
still show the function name (via kallsyms) instead of just showing
the raw address.
- Clean ups of the histogram code
The histogram functions saved over 800 bytes on the stack to process
events as they come in. Instead, create per-cpu buffers that can hold
this information and have a separate location for each context level
(thread, softirq, IRQ and NMI).
Also add some more comments to the code.
- Add "common_comm" field for histograms
Add "common_comm" that uses the current->comm as a field in an event
histogram and acts like any of the other fields of the event.
- Show "subops" in the enabled_functions file
When the function graph infrastructure is used, a subsystem has a
"subops" that it attaches its callback function to. Instead of the
enabled_functions just showing a function calling the function that
calls the subops functions, also show the subops functions that will
get called for that function too.
- Add "copy_trace_marker" option to instances
There are cases where an instance is created for tooling to write
into, but the old tooling has the top level instance hardcoded into
the application. New tools want to consume the data from an instance
and not the top level buffer. By adding a copy_trace_marker option,
whenever the top instance trace_marker is written into, a copy of it
is also written into the instance with this option set. This allows
new tools to read what old tools are writing into the top buffer.
If this option is cleared by the top instance, then what is written
into the trace_marker is not written into the top instance. This is a
way to redirect the trace_marker writes into another instance.
- Have tracepoints created by DECLARE_TRACE() use trace_<name>_tp()
If a tracepoint is created by DECLARE_TRACE() instead of
TRACE_EVENT(), then it will not be exposed via tracefs. Currently
there's no way to differentiate in the kernel the tracepoint
functions between those that are exposed via tracefs or not. A
calling convention has been made manually to append a "_tp" prefix
for events created by DECLARE_TRACE(). Instead of doing this
manually, force it so that all DECLARE_TRACE() events have this
notation.
- Use __string() for task->comm in some sched events
Instead of hardcoding the comm to be TASK_COMM_LEN in some of the
scheduler events use __string() which makes it dynamic. Note, if
these events are parsed by user space it they may break, and the
event may have to be converted back to the hardcoded size.
- Have function graph "depth" be unsigned to the user
Internally to the kernel, the "depth" field of the function graph
event is signed due to -1 being used for end of boundary. What
actually gets recorded in the event itself is zero or positive.
Reflect this to user space by showing "depth" as unsigned int and be
consistent across all events.
- Allow an arbitrary long CPU string to osnoise_cpus_write()
The filtering of which CPUs to write to can exceed 256 bytes. If a
machine has 256 CPUs, and the filter is to filter every other CPU,
the write would take a string larger than 256 bytes. Instead of using
a fixed size buffer on the stack that is 256 bytes, allocate it to
handle what is passed in.
- Stop having ftrace check the per-cpu data "disabled" flag
The "disabled" flag in the data structure passed to most ftrace
functions is checked to know if tracing has been disabled or not.
This flag was added back in 2008 before the ring buffer had its own
way to disable tracing. The "disable" flag is now not always set when
needed, and the ring buffer flag should be used in all locations
where the disabled is needed. Since the "disable" flag is redundant
and incorrect, stop using it. Fix up some locations that use the
"disable" flag to use the ring buffer info.
- Use a new tracer_tracing_disable/enable() instead of data->disable
flag
There's a few cases that set the data->disable flag to stop tracing,
but this flag is not consistently used. It is also an on/off switch
where if a function set it and calls another function that sets it,
the called function may incorrectly enable it.
Use a new trace_tracing_disable() and tracer_tracing_enable() that
uses a counter and can be nested. These use the ring buffer flags
which are always checked making the disabling more consistent.
- Save the trace clock in the persistent ring buffer
Save what clock was used for tracing in the persistent ring buffer
and set it back to that clock after a reboot.
- Remove unused reference to a per CPU data pointer in mmiotrace
functions
- Remove unused buffer_page field from trace_array_cpu structure
- Remove more strncpy() instances
- Other minor clean ups and fixes

Most tracepoints in the kernel are created with TRACE_EVENT(). The
TRACE_EVENT() macro (and DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() where in
reality, TRACE_EVENT() is just a helper macro that calls those other two
macros), will create not only a tracepoint (the function trace_<event>()
used in the kernel), it also exposes the tracepoint to user space along
with defining what fields will be saved by that tracepoint.
There are a few places that tracepoints are created in the kernel that are
not exposed to userspace via tracefs. They can only be accessed from code
within the kernel. These tracepoints are created with DEFINE_TRACE()
Most of these tracepoints end with "_tp". This is useful as when the
developer sees that, they know that the tracepoint is for in-kernel only
(meaning it can only be accessed inside the kernel, either directly by the
kernel or indirectly via modules and BPF programs) and is not exposed to
user space.
Instead of making this only a process to add "_tp", enforce it by making
the DECLARE_TRACE() append the "_tp" suffix to the tracepoint. This
requires adding DECLARE_TRACE_EVENT() macros for the TRACE_EVENT() macro
to use that keeps the original name.

There are applications that have it hard coded to write into the top level
trace_marker instance (/sys/kernel/tracing/trace_marker). This can be
annoying if a profiler is using that instance for other work, or if it
needs all writes to go into a new instance.
A new option is created called "copy_trace_marker". By default, the top
level has this set, as that is the default buffer that writing into the
top level trace_marker file will go to. But now if an instance is created
and sets this option, all writes into the top level trace_marker will also
be written into that instance buffer just as if an application were to
write into the instance's trace_marker file.
If the top level instance disables this option, then writes to its own
trace_marker and trace_marker_raw files will not go into its buffer.
If no instance has this option set, then the write will return an error
and errno will contain ENODEV.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Persistent buffer cleanups and simplifications.
It was mistaken that the physical memory returned from "reserve_mem"
had to be vmap()'d to get to it from a virtual address. But
reserve_mem already maps the memory to the virtual address of the
kernel so a simple phys_to_virt() can be used to get to the virtual
address from the physical memory returned by "reserve_mem". With this
new found knowledge, the code can be cleaned up and simplified.
- Enforce that the persistent memory is page aligned
As the buffers using the persistent memory are all going to be
mapped via pages, make sure that the memory given to the tracing
infrastructure is page aligned. If it is not, it will print a
warning and fail to map the buffer.
- Use phys_to_virt() to get the virtual address from reserve_mem
Instead of calling vmap() on the physical memory returned from
"reserve_mem", use phys_to_virt() instead.
As the memory returned by "memmap" or any other means where a
physical address is given to the tracing infrastructure, it still
needs to be vmap(). Since this memory can never be returned back to
the buddy allocator nor should it ever be memmory mapped to user
space, flag this buffer and up the ref count. The ref count will
keep it from ever being freed, and the flag will prevent it from
ever being memory mapped to user space.
- Use vmap_page_range() for memmap virtual address mapping
For the memmap buffer, instead of allocating an array of struct
pages, assigning them to the contiguous phsycial memory and then
passing that to vmap(), use vmap_page_range() instead
- Replace flush_dcache_folio() with flush_kernel_vmap_range()
Instead of calling virt_to_folio() and passing that to
flush_dcache_folio(), just call flush_kernel_vmap_range() directly.
This also fixes a bug where if a subbuffer was bigger than
PAGE_SIZE only the PAGE_SIZE portion would be flushed"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull latency tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add some trace events to osnoise and timerlat sample generation
This adds more information to the osnoise and timerlat tracers as
well as allows BPF programs to be attached to these locations to
extract even more data.
- Fix to DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION() macro
It wasn't used but now will be and it happened to be broken causing
the build to fail.
- Add scheduler specification monitors to runtime verifier (RV)
This is a continuation of Daniel Bristot's work.
RV allows monitors to run and react concurrently. Running the
cumulative model is equivalent to running single components using the
same reactors, with the advantage that it's easier to point out which
specification failed in case of error.
This update introduces nested monitors to RV, in short, the sysfs
monitor folder will contain a monitor named sched, which is nothing
but an empty container for other monitors. Controlling the sched
monitor (enable, disable, set reactors) controls all nested monitors.
The following scheduling monitors are added:
- sco: scheduling context operations
Monitor to ensure sched_set_state happens only in thread context
- tss: task switch while scheduling
Monitor to ensure sched_switch happens only in scheduling context
- snroc: set non runnable on its own context
Monitor to ensure set_state happens only in the respective task's context
- scpd: schedule called with preemption disabled
Monitor to ensure schedule is called with preemption disabled
- snep: schedule does not enable preempt
Monitor to ensure schedule does not enable preempt

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too
There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did
the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for
both algorithms to use the same logic in one place.
- Add poll to trace event hist files
It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some
filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the
event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake
up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know
that the event it is waiting for happened.
- Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.
Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event,
then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or
cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded.
This also works from the kernel command line, where
"trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up,
its events will be enabled then.

The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the
function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to
hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace
when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be
created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function
graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has
slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This
is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such
as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this
method does not scale.
The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started,
every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that
is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to
allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be
one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe
methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new
technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of
hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only
one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex.
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.
- Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer
When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable
interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs
and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the
disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of
interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This
greatly improves its performance.
- Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the
kernel command line.
The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.
Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
(before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

When the :mod: command is written into /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event (or
that file within an instance), if the module specified after the ":mod:"
is not yet loaded, it will store that string internally. When the module
is loaded, it will enable the events as if the module was loaded when the
string was written into the set_event file.
This can also be useful to enable events that are in the init section of
the module, as the events are enabled before the init section is executed.
This also works on the kernel command line:
trace_event=:mod:<module>
Will enable the events for <module> when it is loaded.

Add a :mod: command to enable only events from a given module from the
set_events file.
echo '*:mod:<module>' > set_events
Or
echo ':mod:<module>' > set_events
Will enable all events for that module. Specific events can also be
enabled via:
echo '<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events
Or
echo '<system>:<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events
Or
echo '*:<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events
The ":mod:" keyword is consistent with the function tracing filter to
enable functions from a given module.

The function graph tracer now calculates the calltime internally and for
each instance. If there are two instances that are running function graph
tracer and are tracing the same functions, the timings of the length of
those functions may be slightly different:

# trace-cmd report

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Addition of faultable tracepoints
There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit.
This location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are
called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can
sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault
in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been
made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space
parameters and record them.
Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers
(perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow
faults.
- Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic
- Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API
- Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used
- Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic
- Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()
- Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr()
- Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled
- Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with
atomic64_inc_return(counter)
- Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE
- Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used
- Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph
tracer is also running.
When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the
parent function of the function tracer sometimes is
"return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record
the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the
fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address.
- Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure
- Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack
function filter.
echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
Would cause a kernel NULL dereference.
- Minor clean ups

It was possible to enable tracing with no IRQ tracing support. The
tracing infrastructure would then record TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT as
the only tracing flag and show an 'X' in the output.
The last user of this feature was PPC32 which managed to implement it
during PowerPC merge in 2009. Since then, it was unused and the PPC32
dependency was finally removed in commit 0ea5ee035133a ("tracing: Remove
PPC32 wart from config TRACING_SUPPORT").
Since the PowerPC merge the code behind !CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
with TRACING enabled can no longer be selected used and the 'X' is not
displayed or recorded.
Remove the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT from the tracing code. Remove
TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT.

Add a option "trace_printk_dest" that will make the tracing instance the
location that trace_printk() will go to. This is useful if the
trace_printk or one of the top level tracers is too noisy and there's a
need to separate the two. Then an instance can be created, the
trace_printk can be set to go there instead, where it will not be lost in
the noise of the top level tracer.
Note, only one instance can be the destination of trace_printk at a time.
If an instance sets this flag, the instance that had it set will have it
cleared. There is always one instance that has this set. By default, that
is the top instance. This flag cannot be cleared from the top instance.
Doing so will result in an -EINVAL. The only way this flag can be cleared
from the top instance is by another instance setting it.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Rewrite of function graph tracer to allow multiple users
Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user
attached to it. If another user tried to attach to the function graph
tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing
function graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for
since 2009, but it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so
it never happened. Until now!
There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is
kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function
graph tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes
uses a shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a
shadow stack for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it
possible to trace the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs
that feature too, allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed.
BPF also wants to trace the return of many probes and its method
doesn't scale either. Having it use function graph tracer would
improve that.
By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both
kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This
will allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version
will no longer be needed.
Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16 simultaneous users,
due to shadow stack size and allocated slots"

Pull tracing ring buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Add ring_buffer memory mappings.
The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with
the splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers
and the reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer
that's part of the write buffer. It then has total access to the
swapped out sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory
into other mediums (file system, network, etc).
The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the
kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space
task itself.
A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring
buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader
sub-buffer (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change
which sub-buffer is the new reader sub-buffer.
The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the
ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer
that the writer will not write over.
A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as an
example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external to
the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is
disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be
enabled by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used
for testing applications that perform better with the buffer being
mapped.
Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can
not be used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped,
snapshots will be disabled. If any logic is set to trigger snapshots
on a buffer, that buffer will not be allowed to be mapped"

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:
- tracing/probes: Add new pseudo-types %pd and %pD support for dumping
dentry name from 'struct dentry *' and file name from 'struct file *'
- uprobes performance optimizations:
- Speed up the BPF uprobe event by delaying the fetching of the
uprobe event arguments that are not used in BPF

User programs can now ask user_events to handle the synchronization of
multiple different formats for an event with the same name via the new
USER_EVENT_REG_MULTI_FORMAT flag.
Add a section for USER_EVENT_REG_MULTI_FORMAT that explains the intended
purpose and caveats of using it. Explain how deletion works in these
cases and how to use /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events for per-version
deletion.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are
created
Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it
can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care
about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the
sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and
only those events are exposed to this instance.
- Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than
just the architecture page size.
A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The
user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in
kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the
sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user
only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to
the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in
10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is
the next available size that can hold 10K pages.
- Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring
buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a
debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of
the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information
to this dump that helps with debugging.
- Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is
enabled)
- Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes.
- Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just
under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold).
- Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can
hold.
- Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has
been removed.
- More selftests were added.
- Some code clean ups as well.

Pull documentation update from Jonathan Corbet:
"Another moderately busy cycle for documentation, including:
- The minimum Sphinx requirement has been raised to 2.4.4, following
a warning that was added in 6.2
- Some reworking of the Documentation/process front page to,
hopefully, make it more useful
- Various kernel-doc tweaks to, for example, make it deal properly
with __counted_by annotations
- We have also restored a warning for documentation of nonexistent
structure members that disappeared a while back. That had the
delightful consequence of adding some 600 warnings to the docs
build. A sustained effort by Randy, Vegard, and myself has
addressed almost all of those, bringing the documentation back into
sync with the code. The fixes are going through the appropriate
maintainer trees
- Various improvements to the HTML rendered docs, including automatic
links to Git revisions and a nice new pulldown to make translations
easy to access
- Speaking of translations, more of those for Spanish and Chinese
... plus the usual stream of documentation updates and typo fixes"
