Linus Torvalds 965a9d75e3 Tracing updates for 5.20 / 6.0
- Runtime verification infrastructure
   This is the biggest change for this pull request. It introduces the
   runtime verification that is necessary for running Linux on safety
   critical systems. It allows for deterministic automata models to be
   inserted into the kernel that will attach to tracepoints, where the
   information on these tracepoints will move the model from state to state.
   If a state is encountered that does not belong to the model, it will then
   activate a given reactor, that could just inform the user or even panic
   the kernel (for which safety critical systems will detect and can recover
   from).
 
 - Two monitor models are also added: Wakeup In Preemptive (WIP - not to be
   confused with "work in progress"), and Wakeup While Not Running (WWNR).
 
 - Added __vstring() helper to the TRACE_EVENT() macro to replace several
   vsnprintf() usages that were all doing it wrong.
 
 - eprobes now can have their event autogenerated when the event name is left
   off.
 
 - The rest is various cleanups and fixes.

 - Runtime verification infrastructure

   This is the biggest change here. It introduces the runtime
   verification that is necessary for running Linux on safety critical
   systems.

   It allows for deterministic automata models to be inserted into the
   kernel that will attach to tracepoints, where the information on
   these tracepoints will move the model from state to state.

   If a state is encountered that does not belong to the model, it will
   then activate a given reactor, that could just inform the user or
   even panic the kernel (for which safety critical systems will detect
   and can recover from).

 - Two monitor models are also added: Wakeup In Preemptive (WIP - not to
   be confused with "work in progress"), and Wakeup While Not Running
   (WWNR).

 - Added __vstring() helper to the TRACE_EVENT() macro to replace
   several vsnprintf() usages that were all doing it wrong.

 - eprobes now can have their event autogenerated when the event name is
   left off.

 - The rest is various cleanups and fixes.
