If tracing is disabled for some reason (traceoff_on_warning, command line,
etc), the ftrace selftests are guaranteed to fail, as their results are
defined by trace data in the ring buffers. If the ring buffers are turned
off, the tests will fail, due to lack of data.
Because tracing being disabled is for a specific reason (warning, user
decided to, etc), it does not make sense to enable tracing to run the self
tests, as the test output may corrupt the reason for the tracing to be
disabled.
Instead, simply skip the self tests and report that they are being skipped
due to tracing being disabled.

Add tracefs/options/hash-ptr option to show hashed pointer
value by %p in event printk format string.
For the security reason, normal printk will show the hashed
pointer value (encrypted by random number) with %p to printk
buffer to hide the real address. But the tracefs/trace always
shows real address for debug. To bridge those outputs, add an
option to switch the output format. Ftrace users can use it
to find the hashed value corresponding to the real address
in trace log.

To help debugging kernel, show real address for trace event arguments
in tracefs/trace{,pipe} instead of hashed pointer value.
Since ftrace human-readable format uses vsprintf(), all %p are
translated to hash values instead of pointer address.
However, when debugging the kernel, raw address value gives a
hint when comparing with the memory mapping in the kernel.
(Those are sometimes used with crash log, which is not hashed too)
So converting %p with %px when calling trace_seq_printf().
Moreover, this is not improving the security because the tracefs
can be used only by root user and the raw address values are readable
from tracefs/percpu/cpu*/trace_pipe_raw file.

When filters are used by trace events, a page is allocated on each CPU and
used to copy the trace event fields to this page before writing to the ring
buffer. The reason to use the filter and not write directly into the ring
buffer is because a filter may discard the event and there's more overhead
on discarding from the ring buffer than the extra copy.
The problem here is that there is no check against the size being allocated
when using this page. If an event asks for more than a page size while being
filtered, it will get only a page, leading to the caller writing more that
what was allocated.
Check the length of the request, and if it is more than PAGE_SIZE minus the
header default back to allocating from the ring buffer directly. The ring
buffer may reject the event if its too big anyway, but it wont overflow.

PREEMPT_RT does not report "serving softirq" because the tracing core
looks at the preemption counter while PREEMPT_RT does not update it
while processing softirqs in order to remain preemptible. The
information is stored somewhere else.
The in_serving_softirq() macro and the SOFTIRQ_OFFSET define are still
working but not on the preempt-counter.
Use in_serving_softirq() macro which works on PREEMPT_RT. On !PREEMPT_RT
the compiler (gcc-10 / clang-11) is smart enough to optimize the
in_serving_softirq() related read of the preemption counter away.
The only difference I noticed by using in_serving_softirq() on
!PREEMPT_RT is that gcc-10 implemented tracing_gen_ctx_flags() as
reading FLAG, jmp _tracing_gen_ctx_flags(). Without in_serving_softirq()
it inlined _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() into tracing_gen_ctx_flags().

The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.
The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).
The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.
Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.
This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.
As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
-> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
-> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config option called:
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. Currently, only x86_64 enables it.
All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct
pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then
the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the
function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if
a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it
can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough
information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception
(needed for kprobes).
New config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at
most every event recorded. The "check_buffer()" calls will conflict with
mainline, because I purposely added the check without including the fix that
it caught, which is in mainline. Running a kernel built from the commit of
the added check will trigger it.
Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to
the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
callbacks).
Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do
it for it (saving on that extra function call).
New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all
the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer.
This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the
function tracer.
The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work
queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.
Various clean ups and last minute fixes.

In order for tracepoints to export their enums to user space, the use of the
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro is used. On boot up, the strings shown in the
tracefs "print fmt" lines are processed, and all the enums registered by
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM are replaced with the interger value. This way, userspace
tools that read the raw binary data, knows how to evaluate the raw events.
This is currently done in an initcall, but it has been noticed that slow
embedded boards that have tracing may take a few seconds to process them
all, and a few seconds slow down on an embedded device is detrimental to the
system.
Instead, offload the work to a work queue and make sure that its finished by
destroying the work queue (which flushes all work) in a late initcall. This
will allow the system to continue to boot and run the updates in the
background, and this speeds up the boot time. Note, the strings being
updated are only used by user space, so finishing the process before the
system is fully booted will prevent any race issues.

With 5.9 kernel on ARM64, I found ftrace_dump output was broken but
it had no problem with normal output "cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace".
With investigation, it seems coping the data into temporal buffer seems to
break the align binary printf expects if the static buffer is not aligned
with 4-byte. IIUC, get_arg in bstr_printf expects that args has already
right align to be decoded and seq_buf_bprintf says ``the arguments are saved
in a 32bit word array that is defined by the format string constraints``.
So if we don't keep the align under copy to temporal buffer, the output
will be broken by shifting some bytes.
This patch fixes it.

x86 is supported via text patching, otherwise basic indirect calls are used,
with function pointers.
There's a second variant using inline code patching, inspired by jump-labels,
implemented on x86 as well.
The new APIs are utilized in the x86 perf code, a heavy user of function pointers,
where static calls speed up the PMU handler by 4.2% (!).
The generic implementation is not really excercised on other architectures,
outside of the trivial test_static_call_init() self-test.

Merge tag 'core-static_call-2020-10-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull static call support from Ingo Molnar:
"This introduces static_call(), which is the idea of static_branch()
applied to indirect function calls. Remove a data load (indirection)
by modifying the text.
They give the flexibility of function pointers, but with better
performance. (This is especially important for cases where retpolines
would otherwise be used, as retpolines can be pretty slow.)
API overview:
DECLARE_STATIC_CALL(name, func);
DEFINE_STATIC_CALL(name, func);
DEFINE_STATIC_CALL_NULL(name, typename);
static_call(name)(args...);
static_call_cond(name)(args...);
static_call_update(name, func);
x86 is supported via text patching, otherwise basic indirect calls are
used, with function pointers.
There's a second variant using inline code patching, inspired by
jump-labels, implemented on x86 as well.
The new APIs are utilized in the x86 perf code, a heavy user of
function pointers, where static calls speed up the PMU handler by
4.2% (!).
The generic implementation is not really excercised on other
architectures, outside of the trivial test_static_call_init()
self-test"

The temp buffer size variable for trace_find_next_entry() was incorrectly
being updated when the size did not change. The temp buffer size should only
be updated when it is reallocated.
This is mostly an issue when used with ftrace_dump(). That's because
ftrace_dump() can not allocate a new buffer, and instead uses a temporary
buffer with a fix size. But the variable that keeps track of that size is
incorrectly updated with each call, and it could fall into the path that
would try to reallocate the buffer and produce a warning.

For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to
4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs
but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default
becomes 131072 which needs six digits.
This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the
initial upper limit.
Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The
result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a
little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like
on big iron with 98+ CPUs).
Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

While auditing all module notifiers I noticed a whole bunch of fail
wrt the return value. Notifiers have a 'special' return semantics.
As is; NOTIFY_DONE vs NOTIFY_OK is a bit vague; but
notifier_from_errno(0) results in NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_DONE has a
comment that says "Don't care".
From this I've used NOTIFY_DONE when the function completely ignores
the callback and notifier_to_error() isn't used.

- The biggest news in that the tracing ring buffer can now time events that
interrupted other ring buffer events. Before this change, if an interrupt
came in while recording another event, and that interrupt also had an
event, those events would all have the same time stamp as the event it
interrupted. Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time
stamp and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded
while interrupting another event.
- Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a
default config, but then add options to override the default.
- A fix was made to properly filter function graph tracing to the ftrace
PIDs. This came in at the end of the -rc cycle, and needs to be backported.
- Several clean ups, performance updates, and minor fixes as well.

debugfs and relay on it's handling. The code path is to create a
backward compatibility from when tracefs was part of debugfs, it is now
standalone and does not need debugfs. When debugfs is in restricted
it is compiled in but not active and return EPERM to clients and
tracefs wont work if it assumes it is active it is compiled in
kernel.

On a 144 thread system, `perf ftrace` takes about 20 seconds to start
up, due to calling synchronize_rcu() for each CPU.
cat /proc/108560/stack
0xc0003e7eb336f470
__switch_to+0x2e0/0x480
__wait_rcu_gp+0x20c/0x220
synchronize_rcu+0x9c/0xc0
ring_buffer_reset_cpu+0x88/0x2e0
tracing_reset_online_cpus+0x84/0xe0
tracing_open+0x1d4/0x1f0
On a system with 10x more threads, it starts to become an annoyance.
Batch these up so we disable all the per-cpu buffers first, then
synchronize_rcu() once, then reset each of the buffers. This brings
the time down to about 0.5s.

If a process has the trace_pipe open on a trace_array, the current tracer
for that trace array should not be changed. This was original enforced by a
global lock, but when instances were introduced, it was moved to the
current_trace. But this structure is shared by all instances, and a
trace_pipe is for a single instance. There's no reason that a process that
has trace_pipe open on one instance should prevent another instance from
changing its current tracer. Move the reference counter to the trace_array
instead.
This is marked as "Fixes" but is more of a clean up than a true fix.
Backport if you want, but its not critical.
Fixes: cf6ab6d914 ("tracing: Add ref count to tracer for when they are being read by pipe")

To prevent default "trace_printks()" from spamming the top level tracing
ring buffer, only allow trace instances to use trace_array_printk() (which
can be used without the trace_printk() start up warning).
