Linus Torvalds 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.
