The code has integrity checks to make sure that depth never goes below
zero. But the depth field has recently been converted to unsigned long
from "int" (for alignment reasons). As unsigned long can never be less
than zero, the integrity checks no longer work.

Convert depth to long from unsigned long to allow the integrity checks to
work again.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Extend tracing option mask to 64 bits

   The trace options were defined by a 32 bit variable. This limits the
   tracing instances to have a total of 32 different options. As that
   limit has been hit, and more options are being added, increase the
   option mask to a 64 bit number, doubling the number of options
   available.

   As this is required for the kprobe topic branches as well as the
   tracing topic branch, a separate branch was created and merged into
   both.

 - Make trace_user_fault_read() available for the rest of tracing

   The function trace_user_fault_read() is used by trace_marker file
   read to allow reading user space to be done fast and without locking
   or allocations. Make this available so that the system call trace
   events can use it too.

 - Have system call trace events read user space values

   Now that the system call trace events callbacks are called in a
   faultable context, take advantage of this and read the user space
   buffers for various system calls. For example, show the path name of
   the openat system call instead of just showing the pointer to that
   path name in user space. Also show the contents of the buffer of the
   write system call. Several system call trace events are updated to
   make tracing into a light weight strace tool for all applications in
   the system.

 - Update perf system call tracing to do the same

 - And a config and syscall_user_buf_size file to control the size of
   the buffer

   Limit the amount of data that can be read from user space. The
   default size is 63 bytes but that can be expanded to 165 bytes.

 - Allow the persistent ring buffer to print system calls normally

   The persistent ring buffer prints trace events by their type and
   ignores the print_fmt. This is because the print_fmt may change from
   kernel to kernel. As the system call output is fixed by the system
   call ABI itself, there's no reason to limit that. This makes reading
   the system call events in the persistent ring buffer much nicer and
   easier to understand.

 - Add options to show text offset to function profiler

   The function profiler that counts the number of times a function is
   hit currently lists all functions by its name and offset. But this
   becomes ambiguous when there are several functions with the same
   name.

   Add a tracing option that changes the output to be that of
   '_text+offset' instead. Now a user space tool can use this
   information to map the '_text+offset' to the unique function it is
   counting.

 - Report bad dynamic event command

   If a bad command is passed to the dynamic_events file, report it
   properly in the error log.

 - Clean up tracer options

   Clean up the tracer option code a bit, by removing some useless code
   and also using switch statements instead of a series of if
   statements.

 - Have tracing options be instance specific

   Tracers can have their own options (function tracer, irqsoff tracer,
   function graph tracer, etc). But now that the same tracer can be
   enabled in multiple trace instances, their options are still global.
   The API is per instance, thus changing one affects other instances.
   This isn't even consistent, as the option take affect differently
   depending on when an tracer started in an instance. Make the options
   for instances only affect the instance it is changed under.

 - Optimize pid_list lock contention

   Whenever the pid_list is read, it uses a spin lock. This happens at
   every sched switch. Taking the lock at sched switch can be removed by
   instead using a seqlock counter.

 - Clean up the trace trigger structures

   The trigger code uses two different structures to implement a single
   tigger. This was due to trying to reuse code for the two different
   types of triggers (always on trigger, and count limited trigger). But
   by adding a single field to one structure, the other structure could
   be absorbed into the first structure making he code easier to
   understand.

 - Create a bulk garbage collector for trace triggers

   If user space has triggers for several hundreds of events and then
   removes them, it can take several seconds to complete. This is
   because each removal calls tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() that
   can take hundreds of milliseconds to complete.

   Instead, create a helper thread that will do the clean up. When a
   trigger is removed, it will create the kthread if it isn't already
   created, and then add the trigger to a llist. The kthread will take
   the items off the llist, call tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(),
   and then remove the items it took off. It will then check if there's
   more items to free before sleeping.

   This makes user space removing all these triggers to finish in less
   than a second.

 - Allow function tracing of some of the tracing infrastructure code

   Because the tracing code can cause recursion issues if it is traced
   by the function tracer the entire tracing directory disables function
   tracing. But not all of tracing causes issues if it is traced.
   Namely, the event tracing code. Add a config that enables some of the
   tracing code to be traced to help in debugging it. Note, when this is
   enabled, it does add noise to general function tracing, especially if
   events are enabled as well (which is a common case).

 - Add boot-time backup instance for persistent buffer

   The persistent ring buffer is used mostly for kernel crash analysis
   in the field. One issue is that if there's a crash, the data in the
   persistent ring buffer must be read before tracing can begin using
   it. This slows down the boot process. Once tracing starts in the
   persistent ring buffer, the old data must be freed and the addresses
   no longer match and old events can't be in the buffer with new
   events.

   Create a way to create a backup buffer that copies the persistent
   ring buffer at boot up. Then after a crash, the always on tracer can
   begin immediately as well as the normal boot process while the crash
   analysis tooling uses the backup buffer. After the backup buffer is
   finished being read, it can be removed.

 - Enable function graph args and return address options at the same
   time

   Currently the when reading of arguments in the function graph tracer
   is enabled, the option to record the parent function in the entry
   event can not be enabled. Update the code so that it can.

 - Add new struct_offset() helper macro

   Add a new macro that takes a pointer to a structure and a name of one
   of its members and it will return the offset of that member. This
   allows the ring buffer code to simplify the following:

   From:  size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry-&gt;id));
     To:  size = struct_offset(entry, id) + cnt;

   There should be other simplifications that this macro can help out
   with as well

Currently, the funcgraph-args and funcgraph-retaddr features are
mutually exclusive. This patch resolves this limitation by allowing
funcgraph-retaddr to have an args array.

To verify the change, use perf to trace vfs_write with both options
enabled:

Before:
 # perf ftrace -G vfs_write --graph-opts args,retaddr
   ......
   down_read() { /* &lt;-n_tty_write+0xa3/0x540 */

     preempt_count_sub(); /* &lt;-down_read+0x8b/0x160 */
   }

After:
 # perf ftrace -G vfs_write --graph-opts args,retaddr
   ......
   down_read(sem=0xffff8880100bea78) { /* &lt;-n_tty_write+0xa3/0x540 */

<title>ftrace: Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP</title>

For now, the "nop" will be replaced with a "call" instruction when a
function is hooked by the ftrace. However, sometimes the "call" can break
the RSB and introduce extra overhead. Therefore, introduce the flag
FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP, which indicate that the ftrace_ops should be called
with a "jmp" instead of "call". For now, it is only used by the direct
call case.

When a direct ftrace_ops is marked with FTRACE_OPS_FL_JMP, the last bit of
the ops-&gt;direct_call will be set to 1. Therefore, we can tell if we should
use "jmp" for the callback in ftrace_call_replace().

Currently we don't get stack trace via ORC unwinder on top of fgraph exit
handler. We can see that when generating stacktrace from kretprobe_multi
bpf program which is based on fprobe/fgraph.

The reason is that the ORC unwind code won't get pass the return_to_handler
callback installed by fgraph return probe machinery.

Solving this by creating stack frame in return_to_handler expected by
ftrace_graph_ret_addr function to recover original return address and
continue with the unwind.

Also updating the pt_regs data with cs/flags/rsp which are needed for
successful stack retrieval from ebpf bpf_get_stackid helper.
 - in get_perf_callchain we check user_mode(regs) so CS has to be set
 - in perf_callchain_kernel we call perf_hw_regs(regs), so EFLAGS/FIXED
    has to be unset

<title>tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD</title>

Ftrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because it
requires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that when
a new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for all
architectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs are
added to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that other
architectures can still function until they too have been updated.

The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify the
DYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implements
DYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundant
with the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.

Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly where
applicable.

The following ftrace patch for riscv uses a data store to update ftrace
function. Therefore, a romote fence is required to order it against
function_trace_op updates. The mechanism is similar to the fence between
function_trace_op and update_ftrace_func in the generic ftrace, so we
leverage the same ftrace_sync_ipi function.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Have module addresses get updated in the persistent ring buffer

   The addresses of the modules from the previous boot are saved in the
   persistent ring buffer. If the same modules are loaded and an address
   is in the old buffer points to an address that was both saved in the
   persistent ring buffer and is loaded in memory, shift the address to
   point to the address that is loaded in memory in the trace event.

 - Print function names for irqs off and preempt off callsites

   When ignoring the print fmt of a trace event and just printing the
   fields directly, have the fields for preempt off and irqs off events
   still show the function name (via kallsyms) instead of just showing
   the raw address.

 - Clean ups of the histogram code

   The histogram functions saved over 800 bytes on the stack to process
   events as they come in. Instead, create per-cpu buffers that can hold
   this information and have a separate location for each context level
   (thread, softirq, IRQ and NMI).

   Also add some more comments to the code.

 - Add "common_comm" field for histograms

   Add "common_comm" that uses the current-&gt;comm as a field in an event
   histogram and acts like any of the other fields of the event.

 - Show "subops" in the enabled_functions file

   When the function graph infrastructure is used, a subsystem has a
   "subops" that it attaches its callback function to. Instead of the
   enabled_functions just showing a function calling the function that
   calls the subops functions, also show the subops functions that will
   get called for that function too.

 - Add "copy_trace_marker" option to instances

   There are cases where an instance is created for tooling to write
   into, but the old tooling has the top level instance hardcoded into
   the application. New tools want to consume the data from an instance
   and not the top level buffer. By adding a copy_trace_marker option,
   whenever the top instance trace_marker is written into, a copy of it
   is also written into the instance with this option set. This allows
   new tools to read what old tools are writing into the top buffer.

   If this option is cleared by the top instance, then what is written
   into the trace_marker is not written into the top instance. This is a
   way to redirect the trace_marker writes into another instance.

 - Have tracepoints created by DECLARE_TRACE() use trace_&lt;name&gt;_tp()

   If a tracepoint is created by DECLARE_TRACE() instead of
   TRACE_EVENT(), then it will not be exposed via tracefs. Currently
   there's no way to differentiate in the kernel the tracepoint
   functions between those that are exposed via tracefs or not. A
   calling convention has been made manually to append a "_tp" prefix
   for events created by DECLARE_TRACE(). Instead of doing this
   manually, force it so that all DECLARE_TRACE() events have this
   notation.

 - Use __string() for task-&gt;comm in some sched events

   Instead of hardcoding the comm to be TASK_COMM_LEN in some of the
   scheduler events use __string() which makes it dynamic. Note, if
   these events are parsed by user space it they may break, and the
   event may have to be converted back to the hardcoded size.

 - Have function graph "depth" be unsigned to the user

   Internally to the kernel, the "depth" field of the function graph
   event is signed due to -1 being used for end of boundary. What
   actually gets recorded in the event itself is zero or positive.
   Reflect this to user space by showing "depth" as unsigned int and be
   consistent across all events.

 - Allow an arbitrary long CPU string to osnoise_cpus_write()

   The filtering of which CPUs to write to can exceed 256 bytes. If a
   machine has 256 CPUs, and the filter is to filter every other CPU,
   the write would take a string larger than 256 bytes. Instead of using
   a fixed size buffer on the stack that is 256 bytes, allocate it to
   handle what is passed in.

 - Stop having ftrace check the per-cpu data "disabled" flag

   The "disabled" flag in the data structure passed to most ftrace
   functions is checked to know if tracing has been disabled or not.
   This flag was added back in 2008 before the ring buffer had its own
   way to disable tracing. The "disable" flag is now not always set when
   needed, and the ring buffer flag should be used in all locations
   where the disabled is needed. Since the "disable" flag is redundant
   and incorrect, stop using it. Fix up some locations that use the
   "disable" flag to use the ring buffer info.

 - Use a new tracer_tracing_disable/enable() instead of data-&gt;disable
   flag

   There's a few cases that set the data-&gt;disable flag to stop tracing,
   but this flag is not consistently used. It is also an on/off switch
   where if a function set it and calls another function that sets it,
   the called function may incorrectly enable it.

   Use a new trace_tracing_disable() and tracer_tracing_enable() that
   uses a counter and can be nested. These use the ring buffer flags
   which are always checked making the disabling more consistent.

 - Save the trace clock in the persistent ring buffer

   Save what clock was used for tracing in the persistent ring buffer
   and set it back to that clock after a reboot.

 - Remove unused reference to a per CPU data pointer in mmiotrace
   functions

 - Remove unused buffer_page field from trace_array_cpu structure

 - Remove more strncpy() instances

 - Other minor clean ups and fixes

The function graph infrastructure uses subops of the function tracer.
These are not shown in enabled_functions. Add a "subops:" section to the
enabled_functions line to show what functions are attached via subops. If
the subops is from the function_graph infrastructure, then show the entry
and return callbacks that are attached.

Here's an example of the output:

schedule_on_each_cpu (1)                tramp: 0xffffffffc03ef000 (ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60) -&gt;ftrace_graph_func+0x0/0x60     subops: {ent:trace_graph_entry+0x0/0x20 ret:trace_graph_return+0x0/0x150}
