Steven Rostedt (VMware) 21ccc9cd72 tracing: Disable "other" permission bits in the tracefs files
When building the files in the tracefs file system, do not by default set
any permissions for OTH (other). This will make it easier for admins who
want to define a group for accessing tracefs and not having to first
disable all the permission bits for "other" in the file system.

As tracing can leak sensitive information, it should never by default
allowing all users access. An admin can still set the permission bits for
others to have access, which may be useful for creating a honeypot and
seeing who takes advantage of it and roots the machine.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 1d18538e6a tracing: Have dynamic events have a ref counter
As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to
one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep
the dynamic event from going away.

Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure,
make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for
each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the
DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 8b0e6c744f tracing: Add DYNAMIC flag for dynamic events
To differentiate between static and dynamic events, add a new flag
DYNAMIC to the event flags that all dynamic events have set. This will
allow to differentiate when attaching to a dynamic event from a static
event.

Static events have a mod pointer that references the module they were
created in (or NULL for core kernel). This can be incremented when the
event has something attached to it. But there exists no such mechanism for
dynamic events. This is dangerous as the dynamic events may now disappear
without the "attachment" knowing that it no longer exists.

To enforce the dynamic flag, change dyn_event_add() to pass the event that
is being created such that it can set the DYNAMIC flag of the event. This
helps make sure that no location that creates a dynamic event misses
setting this flag.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 9528c19507 tracing: Clean up alloc_synth_event()
alloc_synth_event() currently has the following code to initialize the
event fields and dynamic_fields:

	for (i = 0, j = 0; i < n_fields; i++) {
		event->fields[i] = fields[i];

		if (fields[i]->is_dynamic) {
			event->dynamic_fields[j] = fields[i];
			event->dynamic_fields[j]->field_pos = i;
			event->dynamic_fields[j++] = fields[i];
			event->n_dynamic_fields++;
		}
	}

1) It would make more sense to have all fields keep track of their
   field_pos.

2) event->dynmaic_fields[j] is assigned twice for no reason.

3) We can move updating event->n_dynamic_fields outside the loop, and just
   assign it to j.

This combination makes the code much cleaner.

Tom Zanussi 8b5ab6bd0b tracing: Add a backward-compatibility check for synthetic event creation
The synthetic event parsing rework now requires semicolons between
synthetic event fields.  That requirement breaks existing users who
might already have used the old synthetic event command format, so
this adds an inner loop that can parse more than one field, if
present, between semicolons.  For each field, parse_synth_field()
checks in which version that field was introduced, using
check_field_version().  The caller, __create_synth_event() can then use
that version information to determine whether or not to enforce the
requirement on the command as a whole.

In the future, if/when new features are added, the requirement will be
that any field/string containing the new feature must use semicolons,
and the check_field_version() check can then check for those and
enforce it.  Using a version number allows this scheme to be extended
if necessary.

Tom Zanussi c9e759b1e8 tracing: Rework synthetic event command parsing
Now that command parsing has been delegated to the create functions
and we're no longer constrained by argv_split(), we can modify the
synthetic event command parser to better match the higher-level
structure of the synthetic event commands, which is basically an event
name followed by a set of semicolon-separated fields.

Since we're also now passed the raw command, we can also save it
directly and can get rid of save_cmdstr().

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 561ca66910 tracing: Make -ENOMEM the default error for parse_synth_field()
parse_synth_field() returns a pointer and requires that errors get
surrounded by ERR_PTR(). The ret variable is initialized to zero, but should
never be used as zero, and if it is, it could cause a false return code and
produce a NULL pointer dereference. It makes no sense to set ret to zero.

Set ret to -ENOMEM (the most common error case), and have any other errors
set it to something else. This removes the need to initialize ret on *every*
error branch.

The cause came down to a use of strcat() that was adding an string that was
shorten, but the strcat() did not take that into account.

strcat() is extremely dangerous as it does not care how big the buffer is.
Replace it with seq_buf operations that prevent the buffer from being
overwritten if what is being written is bigger than the buffer.

Axel Rasmussen 6107742d15 tracing: support "bool" type in synthetic trace events
It's common [1] to define tracepoint fields as "bool" when they contain
a true / false value. Currently, defining a synthetic event with a
"bool" field yields EINVAL. It's possible to work around this by using
e.g. u8 (assuming sizeof(bool) is 1, and bool is unsigned; if either of
these properties don't match, you get EINVAL [2]).

Supporting "bool" explicitly makes hooking this up easier and more
portable for userspace.

Tom Zanussi 10819e2579 tracing: Handle synthetic event array field type checking correctly
Since synthetic event array types are derived from the field name,
there may be a semicolon at the end of the type which should be

If there are more characters following that, normal type string

Without this patch, you can end up with an invalid field type string
that gets displayed in both the synthetic event description and the

Tom Zanussi 7d27adf575 tracing: Don't show dynamic string internals in synthetic event description
For synthetic event dynamic fields, the type contains "__data_loc",
which is basically an internal part of the type which is only meant to
be displayed in the format, not in the event description itself, which
is confusing to users since they can't use __data_loc on the
command-line to define an event field, which printing it would lead

So filter it out from the description, while leaving it in the type.

Steven Rostedt (VMware) 8db4d6bfbb tracing: Change synthetic event string format to limit printed length
Change the format for printing synthetic field strings to limit the
length of the string printed even if it's not correctly terminated.

Tom Zanussi bd82631d7c tracing: Add support for dynamic strings to synthetic events
Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as:

  # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event.

It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing
trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to
synthetic events via the trace() action.

With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined:

  # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events

And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either
dynamic or static strings:

  # echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events

The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as
the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file.

[ <rostedt@goodmis.org>: added __set_synth_event_print_fmt() changes:

  I added the following to make it work with trace-cmd. Dynamic strings
  must have __get_str() for events in the print_fmt otherwise it can't be
  parsed correctly. ]

Tom Zanussi 8fbeb52a59 tracing: Fix parse_synth_field() error handling
synth_field_size() returns either a positive size or an error (zero or
a negative value). However, the existing code assumes the only error
value is 0. It doesn't handle negative error codes, as it assigns
directly to field->size (a size_t; unsigned), thereby interpreting the
error code as a valid size instead.

Do the test before assignment to field->size.

Masami Hiramatsu ba0fbfbb21 tracing/boot, kprobe, synth: Initialize boot-time tracing earlier
Initialize boot-time tracing in core_initcall_sync instead of
fs_initcall, and initialize required tracers (kprobes and synth)
in core_initcall. This will allow the boot-time tracing to trace
__init code from the beginning of postcore_initcall stage.

Current tracing_init_dentry() return a d_entry pointer, while is not
necessary. This function returns NULL on success or error on failure,
which means there is no valid d_entry pointer return.

Let's return 0 on success and negative value for error.

Tom Zanussi 726721a518 tracing: Move synthetic events to a separate file
With the addition of the in-kernel synthetic event API, synthetic
events are no longer specifically tied to the histogram triggers.

The synthetic event code is also making trace_event_hist.c very
bloated, so for those reasons, move it to a separate file,
trace_events_synth.c, along with a new trace_synth.h header file.

Because synthetic events are now independent from hist triggers, add a
new CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENTS config option, and have CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS
select it, and have CONFIG_SYNTH_EVENT_GEN_TEST depend on it.
