Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New:

   - The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools
     directory.

   - Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~
     "match-string"

   - eprobes can now be filtered like any other event.

   - trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads
     to safely write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing
     user space, but we will not know until we hear about it, and then
     can revert the change if need be.

   - New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled.

   - Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time
     instead of at bootup.

  Infrastructure changes to support future efforts:

   - Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but
     the offset to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the
     descriptor and not the beginning of the event. Needed for user
     defined events.

   - Some simplification of event trigger code.

   - Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder
     other event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined
     events.

  And other small fixes and cleanups"

Since referencing user space pointers is special, if the user wants to
filter on a field that is a pointer to user space, then they need to
specify it.

Add a ".ustring" attribute to the field name for filters to state that the
field is pointing to user space such that the kernel can take the
appropriate action to read that pointer.

Pingfan reported that the following causes a fault:

  echo "filename ~ \"cpu\"" &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
  echo 1 &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_at/enable

The reason is that trace event filter treats the user space pointer
defined by "filename" as a normal pointer to compare against the "cpu"
string. The following bug happened:

 RIP: 0033:0x7fa861d88664

The above happened because the kernel tried to access user space directly
and triggered a "supervisor read access in kernel mode" fault. Worse yet,
the memory could not even be loaded yet, and a SEGFAULT could happen as
well. This could be true for kernel space accessing as well.

To be even more robust, test both kernel and user space strings. If the
string fails to read, then simply have the filter fail.

Note, TASK_SIZE is used to determine if the pointer is user or kernel space
and the appropriate strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() function is used to
copy the memory. For some architectures, the compare to TASK_SIZE may always
pick user space or kernel space. If it gets it wrong, the only thing is that
the filter will fail to match. In the future, this needs to be fixed to have
the event denote which should be used. But failing a filter is much better
than panicing the machine, and that can be solved later.

The above happened because the kernel tried to access user space directly
and triggered a "supervisor read access in kernel mode" fault. Worse yet,
the memory could not even be loaded yet, and a SEGFAULT could happen as
well. This could be true for kernel space accessing as well.

To be even more robust, test both kernel and user space strings. If the
string fails to read, then simply have the filter fail.

Note, TASK_SIZE is used to determine if the pointer is user or kernel space
and the appropriate strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() function is used to
copy the memory. For some architectures, the compare to TASK_SIZE may always
pick user space or kernel space. If it gets it wrong, the only thing is that
the filter will fail to match. In the future, this needs to be fixed to have
the event denote which should be used. But failing a filter is much better
than panicing the machine, and that can be solved later.
