e310396bb8 Tracing updates:
- Added new "bootconfig".
    Looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options.
    This has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.
    Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.
    Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.
 
  - Created dynamic event creation.
    Merges common code between creating synthetic events and
      kprobe events.
 
  - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"
 
  - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"
    Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"
 
  - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.
 
  - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized
 
  - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly
 
  - Various other small fixes and clean ups

- Various kerneldoc script enhancements.
 
  - More RST conversions; those are slowing down as we run out of things to
    convert, but we're a ways from done still.
 
  - Dan's "maintainer profile entry" work landed at last.  Now we just need
    to get maintainers to fill in the profiles...
 
  - A reworking of the parallel build setup to work better with a variety of
    systems (and to not take over huge systems entirely in particular).
 
  - The MAINTAINERS file is now converted to RST during the build.
    Hopefully nobody ever tries to print this thing, or they will need to
    load a lot of paper.
 
  - A script and documentation making it easy for maintainers to add Link:
    tags at commit time.
 
 Also included is the removal of a bunch of spurious CR characters.

95f1fa9e34 New tracing features:
- PERAMAENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a function
    As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable all
    attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on live
    kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a ftrace_ops
    is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it will prevent
    ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if ftrace_enabled is already
    disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops with PREMANENT flag set from
    being registered.
 
  - New register_ftrace_direct(). As eBPF would like to register its own
    trampolines to be called by the ftrace nop locations directly,
    without going through the ftrace trampoline, this function has been
    added. This allows for eBPF trampolines to live along side of
    ftrace, perf, kprobe and live patching. It also utilizes the ftrace
    enabled_functions file that keeps track of functions that have been
    modified in the kernel, to allow for security auditing.
 
  - Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances. Subsystems in
    the kernel can now create and destroy their own tracing instances
    which allows them to have their own tracing buffer, and be able
    to record events without worrying about other users from writing over
    their data.
 
  - New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
    seq_buf usage.
 
  - Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
    to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency tracers.
 
  - Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch and
    friends.
 
  - More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)
 
  - Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
    system call trace events.
 
 This along with small clean ups and fixes.

7162431dcf ftrace: Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flag
Livepatch uses ftrace for redirection to new patched functions. It means
that if ftrace is disabled, all live patched functions are disabled as
well. Toggling global 'ftrace_enabled' sysctl thus affect it directly.
It is not a problem per se, because only administrator can set sysctl
values, but it still may be surprising.

Introduce PERMANENT ftrace_ops flag to amend this. If the
FTRACE_OPS_FL_PERMANENT is set on any ftrace ops, the tracing cannot be
disabled by disabling ftrace_enabled. Equally, a callback with the flag
set cannot be registered if ftrace_enabled is disabled.

 - Addition of adding immediates to probe parameters

 - Clean up of the recordmcount.c code. This brings us closer to merging
   recordmcount into objtool, and reuse code.

The current text could mislead the user into believing that only read()
disables tracing. Clarify that any open() call that requests read access
disables tracing.

6218bf9f4d tracing/probe: Add immediate parameter support
Add immediate value parameter (\1234) support to
probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate
(or dummy) parameter instead of fetching from memory
or register.

This feature looks odd, but imagine when you put a probe
on a code to trace some data. If the code is compiled into
2 instructions and 1 instruction has a value but other has
nothing since it is optimized out.
In that case, you can not fold those into one event, even
if ftrace supported multiple probes on one event.
With this feature, you can set a dummy value like
foo=\deadbeef instead of something like foo=%di.

970988e19e tracing/kprobe: Add kprobe_event= boot parameter
Add kprobe_event= boot parameter to define kprobe events
at boot time.
The definition syntax is similar to tracefs/kprobe_events
interface, but use ',' and ';' instead of ' ' and '\n'
respectively. e.g.

  kprobe_event=p,vfs_read,$arg1,$arg2

This puts a probe on vfs_read with argument1 and 2, and
enable the new event.

e65f7ae7f4 tracing/probe: Support user-space dereference
Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments
to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space.

The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value.

 +|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>)

e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si))

For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy,
param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new
probe as below;

 p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3)

Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the
dereference method automatically because we do not know whether
the given address is in userspace or kernel on some archs.

So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to
carefully choose the dereference method.

88903c4643 tracing/probe: Add ustring type for user-space string
Add "ustring" type for fetching user-space string from kprobe event.
User can specify ustring type at uprobe event, and it is same as
"string" for uprobe.

Note that probe-event provides this option but it doesn't choose the
correct type automatically since we have not way to decide the address
is in user-space or not on some arch (and on some other arch, you can
fetch the string by "string" type). So user must carefully check the
target code (e.g. if you see __user on the target variable) and
use this new type.

886cf1901d mm: move recent_rotated pages calculation to shrink_inactive_list()
Patch series "mm: Generalize putback functions"]

putback_inactive_pages() and move_active_pages_to_lru() are almost
similar, so this patchset merges them ina single function.

This patch (of 4):

The patch moves the calculation from putback_inactive_pages() to
shrink_inactive_list().  This makes putback_inactive_pages() looking more
similar to move_active_pages_to_lru().

To do that, we account activated pages in reclaim_stat::nr_activate.
Since a page may change its LRU type from anon to file cache inside
shrink_page_list() (see ClearPageSwapBacked()), we have to account pages
for the both types.  So, nr_activate becomes an array.

Previously we used nr_activate to account PGACTIVATE events, but now we
account them into pgactivate variable (since they are about number of
pages in general, not about sum of hpage_nr_pages).

39a39d5b6b Documentation/trace: Add clarification how histogram onmatch works
The current trace documentation, the section describing histogram's "onmatch"
is not straightforward enough about how this action is applied. It is not

describing what exactly is compared in order to match the events.

e91eefd731 tracing: Add alternative synthetic event trace action syntax
Add a 'trace(synthetic_event_name, params)' alternative to
synthetic_event_name(params).

Currently, the syntax used for generating synthetic events is to
invoke synthetic_event_name(params) i.e. use the synthetic event name
as a function call.

Users requested a new form that more explicitly shows that the
synthetic event is in effect being traced.  In this version, a new
'trace()' keyword is used, and the synthetic event name is passed in
as the first argument.

In addition, for the sake of consistency with other actions, change
the documention to emphasize the trace() form over the function-call
form, which remains documented as equivalent.

f79b3f3385 ftrace: Allow enabling of filters via index of available_filter_functions
Enabling of large number of functions by echoing in a large subset of the
functions in available_filter_functions can take a very long time. The
process requires testing all functions registered by the function tracer
(which is in the 10s of thousands), and doing a kallsyms lookup to convert
the ip address into a name, then comparing that name with the string passed
in.

When a function causes the function tracer to crash the system, a binary
bisect of the available_filter_functions can be done to find the culprit.
But this requires passing in half of the functions in
available_filter_functions over and over again, which makes it basically a
O(n^2) operation. With 40,000 functions, that ends up bing 1,600,000,000
opertions! And enabling this can take over 20 minutes.

As a quick speed up, if a number is passed into one of the filter files,
instead of doing a search, it just enables the function at the corresponding
line of the available_filter_functions file. That is:

 # echo 50 > set_ftrace_filter
 # cat set_ftrace_filter
 x86_pmu_commit_txn

 # head -50 available_filter_functions | tail -1
 x86_pmu_commit_txn

This allows setting of half the available_filter_functions to take place in
less than a second!

 # time seq 20000 > set_ftrace_filter
 real    0m0.042s
 user    0m0.005s
 sys     0m0.015s

 # wc -l set_ftrace_filter
 20000 set_ftrace_filter

495d714ad1 Tracing changes for v4.21:
- Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
    the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.
 
  - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure.
    This will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions
    to get the callback (return) of the function. This is the ground
    work for having kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.
 
  - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
    features to the histograms in the future.
 
  - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently
    is a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but
    only returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be
    removed in the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.
 
  - A few other various clean ups as well.
