Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- 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 an 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

"Fixes to user_events test and ftrace test.
The user_events test was enabled by default in Linux 6.6-rc1. The
following fixes are for bugs found since then:
- add checks for dependencies and skip the test if they aren't met.
The user_events test requires root access, and tracefs and
user_events enabled. It leaves tracefs mounted and a fix is in
progress for that missing piece.
- create user_events test-specific Kconfig fragments
ftrace test fixes:
- unmount tracefs for recovering environment. Fix identified during
the above mentioned user_events dependencies fix.
- adds softlink to latest log directory improving usage"

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Add missing LOCKDOWN checks for eventfs callers
When LOCKDOWN is active for tracing, it causes inconsistent state
when some functions succeed and others fail.
- Use dput() to free the top level eventfs descriptor
There was a race between accesses and freeing it.
- Fix a long standing bug that eventfs exposed due to changing timings
by dynamically creating files. That is, If a event file is opened for
an instance, there's nothing preventing the instance from being
removed which will make accessing the files cause use-after-free
bugs.
- Fix a ring buffer race that happens when iterating over the ring
buffer while writers are active. Check to make sure not to read the
event meta data if it's beyond the end of the ring buffer sub buffer.
- Fix the print trigger that disappeared because the test to create it
was looking for the event dir field being filled, but now it has the
"ef" field filled for the eventfs structure.
- Remove the unused "dir" field from the event structure.
- Fix the order of the trace_dynamic_info as it had it backwards for
the offset and len fields for which one was for which endianess.
- Fix NULL pointer dereference with eventfs_remove_rec()
If an allocation fails in one of the eventfs_add_*() functions, the
caller of it in event_subsystem_dir() or event_create_dir() assigns
the result to the structure. But it's assigning the ERR_PTR and not
NULL. This was passed to eventfs_remove_rec() which expects either a
good pointer or a NULL, not ERR_PTR. The fix is to not assign the
ERR_PTR to the structure, but to keep it NULL on error.
- Fix list_for_each_rcu() to use list_for_each_srcu() in
dcache_dir_open_wrapper(). One iteration of the code used RCU but
because it had to call sleepable code, it had to be changed to use
SRCU, but one of the iterations was missed.
- Fix synthetic event print function to use "as_u64" instead of passing
in a pointer to the union. To fix big/little endian issues, the u64
that represented several types was turned into a union to define the
types properly.

When I'm debugging something with the ftrace selftests and need to look at
the logs, it becomes tedious that I need to do the following:
ls -ltr logs
[ copy the last directory ]
ls logs/<paste-last-dir>
to see where the logs are.
Instead, do the common practice of having a "latest" softlink to the last
run selftest. This way after running the selftest I only need to do:
ls logs/latest/
and it will always give me the directory of the last run selftest logs!

"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

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.

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.

Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe
events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit
even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since
CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS,
it is not available if the architecture only supports
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not
probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture.
But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events.
The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function
(symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments
so that user can trace the function arguments and return values.
The fprobe events syntax is here;
f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS]
f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS]
E.g.
# echo 'f vfs_read $arg1' >> dynamic_events
# echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval' >> dynamic_events
# cat dynamic_events
f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1
f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval
# echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable

Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

selftests/ftrace: Choose target function for filter test from samples
tracing/probe: trace_probe_primary_from_call(): checked list_first_entry
The ftrace selftests do not currently produce KTAP output, they produce a
custom format much nicer for human consumption. This means that when run in
automated test systems we just get a single result for the suite as a whole
rather than recording results for individual test cases, making it harder
to look at the test data and masking things like inappropriate skips.
Address this by adding support for KTAP output to the ftracetest script and
providing a trivial wrapper which will be invoked by the kselftest runner
to generate output in this format by default, users using ftracetest
directly will continue to get the existing output.
This is not the most elegant solution but it is simple and effective. I
did consider implementing this by post processing the existing output
format but that felt more complex and likely to result in all output being
lost if something goes seriously wrong during the run which would not be
helpful. I did also consider just writing a separate runner script but
there's enough going on with things like the signal handling for that to
seem like it would be duplicating too much.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add function names as a way to filter function addresses
- Add sample module to test ftrace ops and dynamic trampolines
- Allow stack traces to be passed from beginning event to end event for
synthetic events. This will allow seeing the stack trace of when a
task is scheduled out and recorded when it gets scheduled back in.
- Add trace event helper __get_buf() to use as a temporary buffer when
printing out trace event output.
- Add kernel command line to create trace instances on boot up.
- Add enabling of events to instances created at boot up.
- Add trace_array_puts() to write into instances.
- Allow boot instances to take a snapshot at the end of boot up.
- Allow live patch modules to include trace events
- Minor fixes and clean ups

There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced
arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug
convinience. I add a new type named 'char' to do it and a new test case
file named 'kprobe_args_char.tc' to do selftest for char type.
For example:
The to be traced function is 'void demo_func(char type, char *name);', we
can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want:
echo 'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' > kprobe_events
we will get the following trace log:
... myprobe: (demo_func+0x0/0x29) arg1='A' arg2={'b','p','f','1',''}

Since commit a1d6cd88c8 ("selftests/ftrace: event_triggers: wait
longer for test_event_enable") introduced bash specific "=="
comparation operator, that test will fail when we run it on a
posix-shell. `checkbashisms` warned it as below.
possible bashism in ftrace/func_event_triggers.tc line 45 (should be 'b = a'):
if [ "$e" == $val ]; then
This replaces it with "=".

Pull trace probes updates from Steven Rostedt:
- New "symstr" type for dynamic events that writes the name of the
function+offset into the ring buffer and not just the address
- Prevent kernel symbol processing on addresses in user space probes
(uprobes).
- And minor fixes and clean ups

On 32bit the trigger-synthetic-eprobe.tc selftest fails with the error:
hist:syscalls:sys_exit_openat: error: Param type doesn't match synthetic event field type
Command: hist:keys=common_pid:filename=$__arg__1,ret=ret:onmatch(syscalls.sys_enter_openat).trace(synth_open,$filename,$ret)
^
This is because the synth_open synthetic event is created with:
echo "$SYNTH u64 filename; s64 ret;" > synthetic_events
Which works fine on 64 bit, as filename is a pointer and the return is
also a long. But for 32 bit architectures, it doesn't work.
Use "unsigned long" and "long" instead so that it works for both 64 bit
and 32 bit architectures.

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.
sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/testing/selftests/ftrace`
Here are the steps to install the latest grep:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make
sudo make install
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
