Add "gfp_t" support in synthetic_events, then the "gfp_t" type parameter in some functions can be traced. Prints the gfp flags as hex in addition to the human-readable flag string.

The name tracing_reset() was a misnomer, as it really only reset a single CPU buffer. Rename it to tracing_reset_cpu() and also make it static and remove the prototype from trace.h, as it is only used in a single function. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Most archs (well at least x86) store the function call return address on the stack before storing the local variables for the function. The max stack tracer depends on this in its algorithm to display the stack size of each function it finds in the back trace. Some archs (arm64), may store the return address (from its link register) just before calling a nested function. There's no reason to save the link register on leaf functions, as it wont be updated. This breaks the algorithm of the max stack tracer. Add a new define ARCH_FTRACE_SHIFT_STACK_TRACER that an architecture may set if it stores the return address (link register) after it stores the function's local variables, and have the stack trace shift the values of the mapped stack size to the appropriate functions.

cleanup() mostly frees/unmaps the malloc'd/privately-mapped copy of the ELF file recordmcount is working on, which is set up in mmap_file(). It also deals with positioning within the pseduo prive-mapping of the file and appending to the ELF file. Split into two steps: mmap_cleanup() for the mapping itself file_append_cleanup() for allocations storing the appended ELF data. Also, move the global variable initializations out of the main, per-object-file loop and nearer to the alloc/init (mmap_file()) and two cleanup functions so we can more clearly see how they're related.

Redundant cleanup calls were introduced when transitioning from the old error/success handling via setjmp/longjmp -- the longjmp ensured the cleanup() call only happened once but replacing the success_file()/fail_file() calls with cleanup() meant that multiple cleanup() calls can happen as we return from function calls. In do_file(), looking just before and after the "goto out" jumps we can see that multiple cleanups() are being performed. We remove cleanup() calls from the nested functions because it makes the code easier to review -- the resources being cleaned up are generally allocated and initialized in the callers so freeing them there makes more sense. Other redundant cleanup() calls: mmap_file() is only called from do_file() and, if mmap_file() fails, then we goto out and do cleanup() there too. write_file() is only called from do_file() and do_file() calls cleanup() unconditionally after returning from write_file() therefore the cleanup() calls in write_file() are not necessary. find_secsym_ndx(), called from do_func()'s for-loop, when we are cleaning up here it's obvious that we break out of the loop and do another cleanup(). __has_rel_mcount() is called from two parts of do_func() and calls cleanup(). In theory we move them into do_func(), however these in turn prove redundant so another simplification step removes them as well.

Recordmcount uses setjmp/longjmp to manage control flow as it reads and then writes the ELF file. This unusual control flow is hard to follow and check in addition to being unlike kernel coding style. So we rewrite these paths to use regular return values to indicate error/success. When an error or previously-completed object file is found we return an error code following kernel coding conventions -- negative error values and 0 for success when we're not returning a pointer. We return NULL for those that fail and return non-NULL pointers otherwise. One oddity is already_has_rel_mcount -- there we use pointer comparison rather than string comparison to differentiate between previously-processed object files and returning the name of a text section.

Add immediate string parameter (\"string") support to probe events. This allows you to specify an immediate (or dummy) parameter instead of fetching a string from memory. This feature looks odd, but imagine that you put a probe on a code to trace some string data. If the code is compiled into 2 instructions and 1 instruction has a string on memory but other has no string 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 string like foo=\"(optimized)":string instead of something like foo=+0(+0(%bp)):string.

Note that this only support appending method. Delete event operation will delete all probes on the event.

uwrite() works within the pseudo-mapping and extends it as necessary without needing the file descriptor (fd) parameter passed to it. Similarly, ulseek() doesn't need its fd parameter. These parameters were only added because the functions bear a conceptual resemblance to write() and lseek(). Worse, they obscure the fact that at the time uwrite() and ulseek() are called fd_map is not a valid file descriptor. Remove the unused file descriptor parameters that make it look like fd_map is still valid.

uread() is only used to initialize the ELF file's pseudo private-memory mapping while uwrite() and ulseek() work within the pseudo-mapping and extend it as necessary. Thus it is not a complementary function to uwrite() and ulseek(). It also makes no sense to do cleanups inside uread() when its only caller, mmap_file(), is doing the relevant allocations and associated initializations. Therefore it's clearer to use a plain read() call to initialize the data in mmap_file() and remove uread().

The address points to the second line below, in t_probe_next(), where filter_hash is dereferenced: hash = iter->probe->ops.func_hash->filter_hash; size = 1 << hash->size_bits; This happens due to a race with register_ftrace_function_probe(). A new ftrace_func_probe is created and added into the func_probes list in trace_array under ftrace_lock. However, before initializing the filter, we drop ftrace_lock, and re-acquire it after acquiring regex_lock. If another process is trying to read set_ftrace_filter, it will be able to acquire ftrace_lock during this window and it will end up seeing a NULL filter_hash. Fix this by just checking for a NULL filter_hash in t_probe_next(). If the filter_hash is NULL, then this probe is just being added and we can simply return from here.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "A few fixes for x86: - Fix a boot regression caused by the recent bootparam sanitizing change, which escaped the attention of all people who reviewed that code. - Address a boot problem on machines with broken E820 tables caused by an underflow which ended up placing the trampoline start at physical address 0. - Handle machines which do not advertise a legacy timer of any form, but need calibration of the local APIC timer gracefully by making the calibration routine independent from the tick interrupt. Marked for stable as well as there seems to be quite some new laptops rolled out which expose this. - Clear the RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h and 16h CPUs which are affected by broken firmware which does not initialize RDRAND correctly after resume. Add a command line parameter to override this for machine which either do not use suspend/resume or have a fixed BIOS. Unfortunately there is no way to detect this on boot, so the only safe decision is to turn it off by default. - Prevent RFLAGS from being clobbers in CALL_NOSPEC on 32bit which caused fast KVM instruction emulation to break. - Explain the Intel CPU model naming convention so that the repeating discussions come to an end" * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/retpoline: Don't clobber RFLAGS during CALL_NOSPEC on i386 x86/boot: Fix boot regression caused by bootparam sanitizing x86/CPU/AMD: Clear RDRAND CPUID bit on AMD family 15h/16h x86/boot/compressed/64: Fix boot on machines with broken E820 table x86/apic: Handle missing global clockevent gracefully x86/cpu: Explain Intel model naming convention
