Instead of checking for -E2BIG, it is better to just check for less than
zero of strscpy() for error. Testing for -E2BIG is not very robust, and
the calling code does not really care about the error code, just that
there was an error.
One of the updates to convert strlcpy() to strscpy() had a v2 version
that changed the test from testing against -E2BIG to less than zero, but I
took the v1 version that still tested for -E2BIG.

strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
Direct replacement is safe here since return value of -E2BIG
is used to check for truncation instead of sizeof(dest).

Since there are xbc_node_for_each_child() (loop on all child

trace_boot_hist_add_array() uses the combination of

child node of the key node. But since it missed to check
the child node is data node or not, user can pass the
subkey node for the array node (anode).
To avoid this issue, check the array node is a data node.
Actually, there is xbc_node_find_value(node, key, vnode),
which ensures the @vnode is a value node, so use it in
trace_boot_hist_add_array() to fix this issue.

Support multiple handlers for per-event histogram in boot-time tracing.
Since the histogram can register multiple same handler-actions with
different parameters, this expands the syntax to support such cases.
With this update, the 'onmax', 'onchange' and 'onmatch' handler subkeys
under per-event histogram option will take a number subkeys optionally
as below. (see [.N])
ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]event.GROUP.EVENT.hist {
onmax|onchange[.N] { var = <VAR>; <ACTION> [= <PARAM>] }
onmatch[.N] { event = <EVENT>; <ACTION> [= <PARAM>] }
}
The 'N' must be a digit (or digit started word).
Thus user can add several handler-actions to the histogram,
for example,
ftrace.event.SOMEGROUP.SOMEEVENT.hist {
keys = SOME_ID; lat = common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0
onmatch.1 {
event = GROUP1.STARTEVENT1
trace = latency_event, SOME_ID, $lat
}
onmatch.2 {
event = GROUP2.STARTEVENT2
trace = latency_event, SOME_ID, $lat
}
}
Then, it can trace the elapsed time from GROUP1.STARTEVENT1 to
SOMEGROUP.SOMEEVENT, and from GROUP2.STARTEVENT2 to
SOMEGROUP.SOMEEVENT with SOME_ID key.

Fix boottime kprobe events to report and abort after each failure when
adding probes.
As an example, when we try to set multiprobe kprobe events in
bootconfig like this:
ftrace.event.kprobes.vfsevents {
probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2,,
!error! not reported;?", // leads to error
"vfs_write $arg1 $arg2"
}
This will not work as expected. After
commit da0f1f4167 ("tracing/boottime: Fix kprobe event API usage"),
the function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event will not produce any error
message when adding a probe fails at kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start.
Furthermore, we continue to add probes when kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end fails
(and kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start did not fail). In this case the function
even returns successfully when the last call to kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end
is successful.
The behaviour of reporting and aborting after failures is not
consistent.
The function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event now reports each failure and
stops adding probes immediately.

count to it, that prevents user space from removing it.
As the bootconfig just creates the instance on boot up, it should still be

Also, change the documentation on trace_array_get_by_name() to make this not

The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.
The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.
The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.
This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency

Impact: new API
These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing
the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about.
It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and
other trace options we may introduce in the future.
With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already
in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options
facility.

Now that we have a working ftrace=<tracer> function, make the boot
tracer get activated by it. This way we can turn it on or off without
recompiling the kernel, as well as keeping the selftests on. The
selftests are disabled whenever a default tracer starts running.

Impact: Reduce future memory usage, use new cpumask API.
Since the last patch was created and acked, more old cpumask users
slipped into kernel/trace.
Mostly trivial conversions, except struct trace_iterator's "started"
member becomes a cpumask_var_t.

Impact: simplify/generalize/refactor trace.c
The trace.c file is becoming more difficult to maintain due to the
growing number of events. There is several formats that an event may
be printed. This patch sets up the infrastructure of an event hash to
allow for events to register how they should be printed.

Impact: cleanup
This patch factors out common code from multiple tracers into a
tracing_reset_online_cpus() function and converts the tracers to use it.

Impact: extend the ->init() method with the ability to fail
This bring a way to know if the initialization of a tracer successed.
A tracer must return 0 on success and a traditional error (ie:
-ENOMEM) if it fails.
If a tracer fails to init, it is free to print a detailed warn. The
tracing api will not and switch to a new tracer will just return the
error from the init callback.
Note: this will be used for the return tracer.

Impact: Remove the ctrl_update tracer method
With the new quick start/stop method of tracing, the ctrl_update

Impact: fix for sched_switch that broke dynamic ftrace startup
The commit: tracing/fastboot: use sched switch tracer from boot tracer
broke the API of the sched_switch trace. The use of the
tracing_start/stop_cmdline record is for only recording the cmdline,
NOT recording the schedule switches themselves.
Seeing that the boot tracer broke the API to do something that it
wanted, this patch adds a new interface for the API while
puting back the original interface of the old API.
