When event enablement changes, user_events attempts to update a bit in
the user process. If a fault is hit, an attempt to fault-in the page and
the write is retried if the page made it in. While this normally requires
a couple attempts, it is possible a bad user process could attempt to
cause infinite loops.
Ensure fault-in attempts either sync or async are limited to a max of 10
attempts for each update. When the max is hit, return -EFAULT so another
attempt is not made in all cases.

User processes register an address and bit pair for events. If the same
address and bit pair are registered multiple times in the same process,
it can cause undefined behavior when events are enabled/disabled.
When more than one are used, the bit could be turned off by another
event being disabled, while the original event is still enabled.
Prevent undefined behavior by checking the current mm to see if any
event has already been registered for the address and bit pair. Return
EADDRINUSE back to the user process if it's already being used.
Update ftrace self-test to ensure this occurs properly.

The write index indicates which event the data is for and accesses a

Users expect that events can be filtered by the kernel. User events
currently sets all event fields as FILTER_OTHER which limits to binary
filters only. When strings are being used, functionality is reduced.
Use filter_assign_type() to find the most appropriate filter
type for each field in user events to ensure full kernel capabilities.

Currently, user events are shown using the "hex" output for "safety"
reasons as one cannot trust user events behaving nicely. But the hex
output is not the only utility for safe outputting of trace events. The
print_event_fields() is just as safe and gives user readable output.

Operators want to be able to ensure enough tracepoints exist on the
system for kernel components as well as for user components. Since there
are only up to 64K events, by default allow up to half to be used by
user events.
Add a kernel sysctl parameter (kernel.user_events_max) to set a global
limit that is honored among all groups on the system. This ensures hard
limits can be setup to prevent user processes from consuming all event
IDs on the system.

Operators need a way to limit how much memory cgroups use. User events need
to be included into that accounting. Fix this by using GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT

Enablements are now tracked by the lifetime of the task/mm. User
processes need to be able to disable their addresses if tracing is
requested to be turned off. Before unmapping the page would suffice.
However, we now need a stronger contract. Add an ioctl to enable this.
A new flag bit is added, freeing, to user_event_enabler to ensure that
if the event is attempted to be removed while a fault is being handled
that the remove is delayed until after the fault is reattempted.

When events are enabled within the various tracing facilities, such as
ftrace/perf, the event_mutex is held. As events are enabled pages are
accessed. We do not want page faults to occur under this lock. Instead
queue the fault to a workqueue to be handled in a process context safe
way without the lock.
The enable address is marked faulting while the async fault-in occurs.
This ensures that we don't attempt to fault-in more than is necessary.
Once the page has been faulted in, an address write is re-attempted.
If the page couldn't fault-in, then we wait until the next time the
event is enabled to prevent any potential infinite loops.

As part of the discussions for user_events aligned with user space
tracers, it was determined that user programs should register a aligned
value to set or clear a bit when an event becomes enabled. Currently a
shared page is being used that requires mmap(). Remove the shared page
implementation and move to a user registered address implementation.
In this new model during the event registration from user programs 3 new
values are specified. The first is the address to update when the event
is either enabled or disabled. The second is the bit to set/clear to
reflect the event being enabled. The third is the size of the value at
the specified address.
This allows for a local 32/64-bit value in user programs to support
both kernel and user tracers. As an example, setting bit 31 for kernel
tracers when the event becomes enabled allows for user tracers to use
the other bits for ref counts or other flags. The kernel side updates
the bit atomically, user programs need to also update these values
atomically.
User provided addresses must be aligned on a natural boundary, this
allows for single page checking and prevents odd behaviors such as a
enable value straddling 2 pages instead of a single page. Currently
page faults are only logged, future patches will handle these.

In order to enable namespaces or any sort of isolation within
user_events the register lock and pages need to be broken up into
groups. Each event and file now has a group pointer which stores the
actual pages to map, lookup data and synchronization objects.
This only enables a single group that maps to init_user_ns, as IMA
namespace has done. This enables user_events to start the work of
supporting namespaces by walking the namespaces up to the init_user_ns.
Future patches will address other user namespaces and will align to the
approaches the IMA namespace uses.

User processes may require many events and when they do the cache
performance of a byte index status check is less ideal than a bit index.
The previous event limit per-page was 4096, the new limit is 32,768.
This change adds a bitwise index to the user_reg struct. Programs check
that the bit at status_bit has a bit set within the status page(s).

User processes could open up enough event references to cause rollovers.
These could cause use after free scenarios, which we do not want.
Switching to refcount APIs prevent this, but will leak memory once
saturated.
Once saturated, user processes can still use the events. This prevents
a bad user process from stopping existing telemetry from being emitted.

While user_events API is under development and has been marked for broken
to not let the API become fixed, move the header file out of the uapi
directory. This is to prevent it from being installed, then later changed,
and then have an old distro user space update with a new kernel, where
applications see the user_events being available, but the old header is in
place, and then they get compiled incorrectly.
Also, surround the include with CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST to the current
location, but when the BROKEN tag is taken off, it will use the uapi
directory, and fail to compile. This is a good way to remind us to move
the header back.

Tracefs by default is locked down heavily. System operators can open up
some files, such as user_events to a broader set of users. These users
do not have access within tracefs beyond just the user_event files. Due
to this restriction the trace_add_event_call/remove calls will silently
fail since the caller does not have permissions to create directories.
To fix this trace_add_event_call/remove calls will be issued with
override creds of the global root UID. Creds are reverted immediately
afterward.

Find user_events always while under the event_mutex and before leaving

under the event_mutex that check the ref counts will be synchronized.
The ioctl add/delete paths are protected by the reg_mutex. However,
dyn_event is only protected by the event_mutex. The dyn_event delete
path cannot acquire reg_mutex, since that could cause a deadlock between
the ioctl delete case acquiring event_mutex after acquiring the reg_mutex.

Ensures that when dynamic events requests a match with arguments that
they match what is in the user_event.

Minimal support for interacting with dynamic events, trace_event and
ftrace. Core outline of flow between user process, ioctl and trace_event
APIs.
User mode processes that wish to use trace events to get data into
ftrace, perf, eBPF, etc are limited to uprobes today. The user events
features enables an ABI for user mode processes to create and write to
trace events that are isolated from kernel level trace events. This
enables a faster path for tracing from user mode data as well as opens
managed code to participate in trace events, where stub locations are
dynamic.
User processes often want to trace only when it's useful. To enable this
a set of pages are mapped into the user process space that indicate the
current state of the user events that have been registered. User
processes can check if their event is hooked to a trace/probe, and if it
is, emit the event data out via the write() syscall.
Two new files are introduced into tracefs to accomplish this:
user_events_status - This file is mmap'd into participating user mode
processes to indicate event status.
user_events_data - This file is opened and register/delete ioctl's are
issued to create/open/delete trace events that can be used for tracing.
The typical scenario is on process start to mmap user_events_status. Processes
then register the events they plan to use via the REG ioctl. The ioctl reads
and updates the passed in user_reg struct. The status_index of the struct is
used to know the byte in the status page to check for that event. The
write_index of the struct is used to describe that event when writing out to
the fd that was used for the ioctl call. The data must always include this
index first when writing out data for an event. Data can be written either by
write() or by writev().
For example, in memory:
int index;
char data[];
Psuedo code example of typical usage:
struct user_reg reg;
int page_fd = open("user_events_status", O_RDWR);
char *page_data = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, page_fd, 0);
close(page_fd);
int data_fd = open("user_events_data", O_RDWR);
reg.size = sizeof(reg);
reg.name_args = (__u64)"test";
ioctl(data_fd, DIAG_IOCSREG, ®);
int status_id = reg.status_index;
int write_id = reg.write_index;
struct iovec io[2];
io[0].iov_base = &write_id;
io[0].iov_len = sizeof(write_id);
io[1].iov_base = payload;
io[1].iov_len = sizeof(payload);
if (page_data[status_id])
writev(data_fd, io, 2);
User events are also exposed via the dynamic_events tracefs file for
both create and delete. Current status is exposed via the user_events_status
tracefs file.
Simple example to register a user event via dynamic_events:
echo u:test >> dynamic_events
cat dynamic_events
u:test
If an event is hooked to a probe, the probe hooked shows up:
echo 1 > events/user_events/test/enable
cat user_events_status
1:test # Used by ftrace
Active: 1
Busy: 1
Max: 4096
If an event is not hooked to a probe, no probe status shows up:
echo 0 > events/user_events/test/enable
cat user_events_status
1:test
Active: 1
Busy: 0
Max: 4096
Users can describe the trace event format via the following format:
name[:FLAG1[,FLAG2...] [field1[;field2...]]
Each field has the following format:
type name
Example for char array with a size of 20 named msg:
echo 'u:detailed char[20] msg' >> dynamic_events
cat dynamic_events
u:detailed char[20] msg
Data offsets are based on the data written out via write() and will be
updated to reflect the correct offset in the trace_event fields. For dynamic
data it is recommended to use the new __rel_loc data type. This type will be
the same as __data_loc, but the offset is relative to this entry. This allows
user_events to not worry about what common fields are being inserted before
the data.
The above format is valid for both the ioctl and the dynamic_events file.
