- The ring buffer is no longer disabled when reading the trace file.
The trace_pipe file was made to be used for live tracing and reading
as it acted like the normal producer/consumer. As the trace file
would not consume the data, the easy way of handling it was to just
disable writes to the ring buffer. This came to a surprise to the
BPF folks who complained about lost events due to reading.
This is no longer an issue. If someone wants to keep the old disabling
there's a new option "pause-on-trace" that can be set.
- New set_ftrace_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will not be traced
by the function tracer. Similar to set_ftrace_pid, which makes the
function tracer only trace those tasks with PIDs in the file, the
set_ftrace_notrace_pid does the reverse.
- New set_event_notrace_pid file. PIDs in this file will cause events
not to be traced if triggered by a task with a matching PID.
Similar to the set_event_pid file but will not be traced.
Note, sched_waking and sched_switch events may still be trace if
one of the tasks referenced by those events contains a PID that
is allowed to be traced.
Tracing related features:
- New bootconfig option, that is attached to the initrd file.
If bootconfig is on the command line, then the initrd file
is searched looking for a bootconfig appended at the end.
- New GPU tracepoint infrastructure to help the gfx drivers to get
off debugfs (acked by Greg Kroah-Hartman)
Other minor updates and fixes.

Show line and column when we got a parse error in bootconfig tool.
Current lib/bootconfig shows the parse error with byte offset, but
that is not human readable.
This makes xbc_init() not showing error message itself but able to
pass the error message and position to caller, so that the caller
can decode it and show the error message with line number and columns.
With this patch, bootconfig tool shows an error with line:column as
below.
$ cat samples/bad-dotword.bconf
# do not start keyword with .
key {
.word = 1
}
$ ./bootconfig -a samples/bad-dotword.bconf initrd
Parse Error: Invalid keyword at 3:3

Add append value operator "+=" support to bootconfig syntax.
With this operator, user can add new value to the key as
an entry of array instead of overwriting.
For example,
foo = bar
...
foo += baz
Then the key "foo" has "bar" and "baz" values as an array.

Currently, bootconfig adds a new value on the existing key to the tail of an
array. But this looks a bit confusing because an admin can easily rewrite
the original value in the same config file.
This rejects the following value re-definition.
key = value1
...
key = value2
You should rewrite value1 to value2 in this case.

Reject if a value node is mixed with subkey node on same
parent key node.
A value node can not co-exist with subkey node under some key
node, e.g.
key = value
key.subkey = another-value
This is not be allowed because bootconfig API is not designed
to handle such case.

Remove error message silent knob, we don't need it anymore
because we can check if there is a bootconfig by checking
the magic word.
If there is a magic word, but failed to load a bootconfig
from initrd, there is a real problem.

Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd
image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there.
Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or
parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic
word, there must be a bootconfig.
The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word.
Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is
as follows.
[Initrd][bootconfig][size][csum][#BOOTCONFIG\n]

Since printk() wrapper macro uses __VA_ARGS__ without "##" prefix, it causes
a build error if there is no variable arguments (e.g. only fmt is

Show the number of bootconfig nodes when applying new bootconfig to
initrd.
Since there are limitations of bootconfig not only in its filesize,
but also the number of nodes, the number should be shown when applying
so that user can get the feeling of scale of current bootconfig.

Add "bootconfig" command which operates the bootconfig
config-data on initrd image.
User can add/delete/verify the boot config on initrd
image using this command.
e.g.
Add a boot config to initrd image
# bootconfig -a myboot.conf /boot/initrd.img
Remove it.
# bootconfig -d /boot/initrd.img
Or verify (and show) it.
# bootconfig /boot/initrd.img
