In the declaration of the struct trace_event_call, the flags has the bits
defined in the comment above it. But these bits are also defined by the
TRACE_EVENT_FL_* enums just above the declaration of the struct. As the
comment about the flags in the struct has become stale and incorrect, just
replace it with a reference to the TRACE_EVENT_FL_* enum above.

<title>tracing: Show real address for trace event arguments</title>

<content type='text'>
To help debugging kernel, show real address for trace event arguments
in tracefs/trace{,pipe} instead of hashed pointer value.

Since ftrace human-readable format uses vsprintf(), all %p are
translated to hash values instead of pointer address.

However, when debugging the kernel, raw address value gives a
hint when comparing with the memory mapping in the kernel.
(Those are sometimes used with crash log, which is not hashed too)
So converting %p with %px when calling trace_seq_printf().

Moreover, this is not improving the security because the tracefs
can be used only by root user and the raw address values are readable
from tracefs/percpu/cpu*/trace_pipe_raw file.

I can't imagine when or why `current' would return a NULL pointer. This
check was added in commit
      72829bc3d63cd ("ftrace: move enums to ftrace.h and make helper function global")

but it doesn't give me hint why it was needed.

Assume `current' never returns a NULL pointer and remove the check.

<title>tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=36590c50b2d0729952511129916beeea30d31d81'/>
<id>36590c50b2d0729952511129916beeea30d31d81</id>
<content type='text'>
The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.

The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).

The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.

Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.

This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.

As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
  -&gt; ftrace_trace_stack() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()
  -&gt; ftrace_trace_userstack() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()

In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

A build with all tracers enabled on x86-64 with and without the patch:

    text     data      bss      dec      hex    filename
21970669 17084168  7639260 46694097  2c87ed1 vmlinux.old
21970293 17084168  7639260 46693721  2c87d59 vmlinux.new

text shrank by 379 bytes, data remained constant.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating,
it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate
location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable.

There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer
interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to
use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single
copy, this use case will no longer be supported.

Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first
event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first
event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.

Move the checking, buffer reserve and buffer commit code in
synth_event_trace_start/end() into inline functions
__synth_event_trace_start/end() so they can also be used by
synth_event_trace() and synth_event_trace_array(), and then have all
those functions use them.

Also, change synth_event_trace_state.enabled to disabled so it only
needs to be set if the event is disabled, which is not normally the
case.

Move the checking, buffer reserve and buffer commit code in
synth_event_trace_start/end() into inline functions
__synth_event_trace_start/end() so they can also be used by
synth_event_trace() and synth_event_trace_array(), and then have all
those functions use them.

Also, change synth_event_trace_state.enabled to disabled so it only
needs to be set if the event is disabled, which is not normally the
case.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added new "bootconfig".

   This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options,
   and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.

   Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.

   Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.

 - Created dynamic event creation.

   Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe
   events.

 - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"

 - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"

   Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"

 - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.

 - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized

 - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly

 - Various other small fixes and clean ups

* tag 'trace-v5.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (88 commits)
  bootconfig: Show the number of nodes on boot message
  tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodes
  bootconfig: Add more parse error messages
  bootconfig: Use bootconfig instead of boot config
  ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync
  ftrace: Add comment to why rcu_dereference_sched() is open coded
  tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_notrace_hash pointer with __rcu
  tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_hash pointer with __rcu
  bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdline
  tracing: Use seq_buf for building dynevent_cmd string
  tracing: Remove useless code in dynevent_arg_pair_add()
  tracing: Remove check_arg() callbacks from dynevent args
  tracing: Consolidate some synth_event_trace code
  tracing: Fix now invalid var_ref_vals assumption in trace action
  tracing: Change trace_boot to use synth_event interface
  tracing: Move tracing selftests to bottom of menu
  tracing: Move mmio tracer config up with the other tracers
  tracing: Move tracing test module configs together
  tracing: Move all function tracing configs together
