06afb0f361 tracing updates for v6.13:
- 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

e9f0a36347 tracing: Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT
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 0ea5ee0351 ("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.

ef2bd81d0c tracing: Add option to set an instance to be the trace_printk destination
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.

70045bfc4c ftrace: Rewrite of function graph tracer
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.

53683e4080 tracing ring buffer updates for v6.10:
- 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 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"

- 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

2f84b39f48 tracing: Update subbuffer with kilobytes not page order
Using page order for deciding what the size of the ring buffer sub buffers
are is exposing a bit too much of the implementation. Although the sub
buffers are only allocated in orders of pages, allow the user to specify
the minimum size of each sub-buffer via kilobytes like they can with the
buffer size itself.

If the user specifies 3 via:

  echo 3 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb

Then the sub-buffer size will round up to 4kb (on a 4kb page size system).

If they specify:

  echo 6 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb

The sub-buffer size will become 8kb.

and so on.

e49c0b1401 Documentation: coresight: fix make refcheckdocs warning
This reference uses a glob pattern to match multiple files, but the
asterisk was escaped as \* in order to not be interpreted by sphinx
as reStructuredText markup.

refcheckdocs/documentation-file-ref-check doesn't know about rST syntax
and tries to interpret the \* literally (instead of as a glob).

We can work around the warning by putting the Documentation reference
inside double backticks (``..``), which allows us to not escape the
asterisk.

31e5f934ff Tracing updates for v6.7:
- Remove eventfs_file descriptor
 
   This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
   create its files dynamically.
 
   In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
   mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and
   file inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The
   directories were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files
   were represented by a eventfs_file.
 
   In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
   directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format",
   etc files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf
   eventfs directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a
   callback. When a event is added to the eventfs, it registers
   an array of evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and
   the callbacks to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets
   the name so that the same callback may be used by multiple files.
   The callback then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed
   to create this file.
 
   This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
   instances down by 2 megs each!
 
 - User events now has persistent events that are not associated
   to a single processes. These are privileged events that hang around
   even if no process is attached to them.
 
 - Clean up of seq_buf.
   There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and friends.
   But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf to be
   able to do this.
 
 - Expand instance ring buffers individually
   Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
   enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
   top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
   memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance.
 
 - Other minor clean ups and fixes.

   - Huang Ying has enhanced memory tiering's calculation of memory
     distances. This is used to permit the dax/kmem driver to use 'high
     bandwidth memory' in addition to Optane Data Center Persistent
     Memory Modules (DCPMM). The series is named 'memory tiering:
     calculate abstract distance based on ACPI HMAT'

   - In the series 'Smart scanning mode for KSM' Stefan Roesch has
     optimized KSM by teaching it to retain and use some historical
     information from previous scans

   - Yosry Ahmed has fixed some inconsistencies in memcg statistics in
     the series 'mm: memcg: fix tracking of pending stats updates
     values'

   - In the series 'Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info
     about PTEs' Peter Xu has added an ioctl to /proc/<pid>/pagemap
     which permits us to atomically read-then-clear page softdirty
     state. This is mainly used by CRIU

   - Hugh Dickins contributed the series 'shmem,tmpfs: general
     maintenance', a bunch of relatively minor maintenance tweaks to
     this code

   - Matthew Wilcox has increased the use of the VMA lock over
     file-backed page faults in the series 'Handle more faults under the
     VMA lock'. Some rationalizations of the fault path became possible
     as a result

   - In the series 'mm/rmap: convert page_move_anon_rmap() to
     folio_move_anon_rmap()' David Hildenbrand has implemented some
     cleanups and folio conversions

   - In the series 'various improvements to the GUP interface' Lorenzo
     Stoakes has simplified and improved the GUP interface with an eye
     to providing groundwork for future improvements

   - Andrey Konovalov has sent along the series 'kasan: assorted fixes
     and improvements' which does those things

   - Some page allocator maintenance work from Kemeng Shi in the series
     'Two minor cleanups to break_down_buddy_pages'

   - In thes series 'New selftest for mm' Breno Leitao has developed
     another MM self test which tickles a race we had between madvise()
     and page faults

   - In the series 'Add folio_end_read' Matthew Wilcox provides cleanups
     and an optimization to the core pagecache code

   - Nhat Pham has added memcg accounting for hugetlb memory in the
     series 'hugetlb memcg accounting'

   - Cleanups and rationalizations to the pagemap code from Lorenzo
     Stoakes, in the series 'Abstract vma_merge() and split_vma()'

   - Audra Mitchell has fixed issues in the procfs page_owner code's new
     timestamping feature which was causing some misbehaviours. In the
     series 'Fix page_owner's use of free timestamps'

   - Lorenzo Stoakes has fixed the handling of new mappings of sealed
     files in the series 'permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared
     mappings'

   - Mike Kravetz has optimized the hugetlb vmemmap optimization in the
     series 'Batch hugetlb vmemmap modification operations'

   - Some buffer_head folio conversions and cleanups from Matthew Wilcox
     in the series 'Finish the create_empty_buffers() transition'

   - As a page allocator performance optimization Huang Ying has added
     automatic tuning to the allocator's per-cpu-pages feature, in the
     series 'mm: PCP high auto-tuning'

   - Roman Gushchin has contributed the patchset 'mm: improve
     performance of accounted kernel memory allocations' which improves
     their performance by ~30% as measured by a micro-benchmark

   - folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series 'mm: convert page
     cpupid functions to folios'

   - Some kmemleak fixups in Liu Shixin's series 'Some bugfix about
     kmemleak'

   - Qi Zheng has improved our handling of memoryless nodes by keeping
     them off the allocation fallback list. This is done in the series
     'handle memoryless nodes more appropriately'

   - khugepaged conversions from Vishal Moola in the series 'Some
     khugepaged folio conversions'"

[ bcachefs conflicts with the dynamically allocated shrinkers have been
  resolved as per Stephen Rothwell in

     https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230913093553.4290421e@canb.auug.org.au/

  with help from Qi Zheng.

3dfbb555c9 mm, vmscan: remove ISOLATE_UNMAPPED
This isolate_mode_t flag is effectively unused since 89f6c88a6a ("mm:
__isolate_lru_page_prepare() in isolate_migratepages_block()") as
sc->may_unmap is now checked directly (and only node_reclaim has a mode
that sets it to 0).  The last remaining place is mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
tracepoint for the isolate_mode parameter.  That one was mainly used to
indicate the active/inactive mode, which the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl
script consumed, but that got silently broken.  After fixing the script by
the previous patch, it does not need the isolate_mode anymore.  So just
remove the parameter and with that the whole ISOLATE_UNMAPPED flag.

83121580f2 trace-vmscan-postprocess: sync with tracepoints updates
The script has fallen behind tracepoint changes for a while, fix it up.

Most changes are mechanical (renames, removal of tracepoint parameters
that are not used by the script).  More notable change involves
mm_vmscan_lru_isolate which is relying on the isolate_mode to determine if
the inactive list is being scanned.  However the parameter currently only
indicates ISOLATE_UNMAPPED.  We can use the lru parameter instead to
determine which list is scanned, and stop checking isolate_mode.

Users need to know how to make events persist now that we allow for
that. We also now allow the dynamic_events file to create events by
utilizing the persist flag during event register.

Add back in to documentation how /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events can
be used to create persistent user_events. Add a section under registering
for the currently supported flags (USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST) and the
required permissions. Add a note under deleting that deleting a
persistent event also requires sufficient permission.

34232fcfe9 Tracing updates for 6.6:
User visible changes:
 
   - Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:
      # echo 'cpumask & CPUS{17-42}' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ipi_send_cpumask/filter
 
   - Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer size via
     buffer_size_kb. Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual
     size rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.
 
  Major changes:
 
   - Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and dentries of
     tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of events, and each event
     has several inodes and dentries that currently exist even when tracing is
     never used, they take up precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate
     the inodes and dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There
     is now metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will create
     the inodes and dentries when they are used.
 
     Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data, but will
     wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's a little more
     complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code works properly before
     adding more complexity, making it easier to revert if need be.
 
  Minor changes:
 
   - Optimization to user event list traversal.
 
   - Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the intermediate
     permission removes all access to the files so it is not a security concern,
     but just a clean up.)
 
   - Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event logic.
 
   - Other minor clean ups.

d2a6fd45c5 Probes updates for v6.5:
- fprobe: Pass return address to the fprobe entry/exit callbacks so that
   the callbacks don't need to analyze pt_regs/stack to find the function
   return address.
 
 - kprobe events: cleanup usage of TPARG_FL_FENTRY and TPARG_FL_RETURN
   flags so that those are not set at once.
 
 - fprobe events:
  . Add a new fprobe events for tracing arbitrary function entry and
    exit as a trace event.
  . Add a new tracepoint events for tracing raw tracepoint as a trace
    event. This allows user to trace non user-exposed tracepoints.
  . Move eprobe's event parser code into probe event common file.
  . Introduce BTF (BPF type format) support to kernel probe (kprobe,
    fprobe and tracepoint probe) events so that user can specify traced
    function arguments by name. This also applies the type of argument
    when fetching the argument.
  . Introduce '$arg*' wildcard support if BTF is available. This expands
    the '$arg*' meta argument to all function argument automatically.
  . Check the return value types by BTF. If the function returns 'void',
    '$retval' is rejected.
  . Add some selftest script for fprobe events, tracepoint events and
    BTF support.
  . Update documentation about the fprobe events.
  . Some fixes for above features, document and selftests.
 
 - selftests for ftrace (except for new fprobe events):
  . Add a test case for multiple consecutive probes in a function which
    checks if ftrace based kprobe, optimized kprobe and normal kprobe
    can be defined in the same target function.
  . Add a test case for optimized probe, which checks whether kprobe
    can be optimized or not.

cccf0c2ee5 Tracing updates for 6.5:
- Add new feature to have function graph tracer record the return value.
   Adds a new option: funcgraph-retval ; when set, will show the return
   value of a function in the function graph tracer.
 
 - Also add the option: funcgraph-retval-hex where if it is not set, and
   the return value is an error code, then it will return the decimal of
   the error code, otherwise it still reports the hex value.
 
 - Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu<cpu>/timerlat_fd
   That when a application opens it, it becomes the task that the timer lat
   tracer traces. The application can also read this file to find out how
   it's being interrupted.
 
 - Add the file /sys/kernel/tracing/available_filter_functions_addrs
   that works just the same as available_filter_functions but also shows
   the addresses of the functions like kallsyms, except that it gives the
   address of where the fentry/mcount jump/nop is. This is used by BPF to
   make it easier to attach BPF programs to ftrace hooks.
 
 - Replace strlcpy with strscpy in the tracing boot code.
