There's several places that open code the following logic:

  TP_STRUCT__entry(__dynamic_array(char, msg, MSG_MAX)),
  TP_fast_assign(vsnprintf(__get_str(msg), MSG_MAX, vaf-&gt;fmt, *vaf-&gt;va);)

To load a string created by variable array va_list.

The main issue with this approach is that "MSG_MAX" usage in the
__dynamic_array() portion. That actually just reserves the MSG_MAX in the
event, and even wastes space because there's dynamic meta data also saved
in the event to denote the offset and size of the dynamic array. It would
have been better to just use a static __array() field.

Instead, create __vstring() and __assign_vstr() that work like __string
and __assign_str() but instead of taking a destination string to copy,
take a format string and a va_list pointer and fill in the values.

It uses the helper:

 #define __trace_event_vstr_len(fmt, va)		\
 ({							\
	va_list __ap;					\
	int __ret;					\
							\
	va_copy(__ap, *(va));				\
	__ret = vsnprintf(NULL, 0, fmt, __ap) + 1;	\
	va_end(__ap);					\
							\
	min(__ret, TRACE_EVENT_STR_MAX);		\
 })

To figure out the length to store the string. It may be slightly slower as
it needs to run the vsnprintf() twice, but it now saves space on the ring
buffer.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
  sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

  Core
  ----

   - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
     jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

   - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
     Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
     Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
     to complete out of order.

   - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
     maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

   - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
     stack.

   - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
     allocated per-CPU counters.

   - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
     sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

   - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

  BPF
  ---

   - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
     marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
     Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
     pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
     split.

   - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
     the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

   - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
     user-mode-driver dependency.

   - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
     its use as a packet generator.

   - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
     called from a hook allowed to sleep.

   - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
     bits to come later).

   - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
     kfunc infra.

   - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

   - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

   - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

   - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

   - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
     without BTF info.

   - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

   - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
     links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

   - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
     via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
     behavior.

   - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
     configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

   - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

   - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
     given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

   - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

   - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
     Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

   - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

   - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
     doubling the performance in some scenarios.

   - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.

   - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
     neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
     Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.

   - SMC
      - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
      - support auto-corking
      - support TCP_NODELAY

   - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
      - add user space tag control interface
      - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)

   - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.

   - Bluetooth:
      - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
      - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events

   - Multi-Path TCP:
      - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
      - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements

   - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.

  Driver API
  ----------

   - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
     offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
     software interfaces such as tunnels.

   - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
     physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.

   - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
     drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
     which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.

   - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
     TCP zero-copy Rx.

   - Allow configuring completion queue event size.

   - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.

   - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.

   - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
     reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

   - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
      - replay and offload of host VLAN entries
      - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
      - FDB isolation and unicast filtering

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the
   kernel describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a
   byte in a page mapping that it can check against. A privileged task
   can then enable that event like any other event, which will change
   the mapped byte to true, telling the user space application to start
   writing the event to the tracing buffer.

 - Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When
   set, the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot
   up when the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep
   the traces that happened at boot up available even if user space boot
   up has tracing as well.

 - Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type
   descriptions. Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum,
   the user space trace event parsers can still know how to parse that
   array.

 - Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
   TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This
   will make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not
   be stuck at only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.

 - Fixes to tracing error logging.

 - Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events
   for mapping).

Adding new link type BPF_LINK_TYPE_KPROBE_MULTI that attaches kprobe
program through fprobe API.

The fprobe API allows to attach probe on multiple functions at once
very fast, because it works on top of ftrace. On the other hand this
limits the probe point to the function entry or return.

The kprobe program gets the same pt_regs input ctx as when it's attached
through the perf API.

Adding new attach type BPF_TRACE_KPROBE_MULTI that allows attachment
kprobe to multiple function with new link.

User provides array of addresses or symbols with count to attach the
kprobe program to. The new link_create uapi interface looks like:

  struct {
          __u32           flags;
          __u32           cnt;
          __aligned_u64   syms;
          __aligned_u64   addrs;
  } kprobe_multi;

The flags field allows single BPF_TRACE_KPROBE_MULTI bit to create
return multi kprobe.

To make it really easy to add custom events from modules, add a
TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro that acts just like the TRACE_EVENT() macro,
but creates a custom event to an already existing tracepoint.

The trace_custom_sched.[ch] has been updated to use this new macro to show
how simple it is.

On a powerpc32 build with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE, the inline
keyword is not honored and trace_trigger_soft_disabled() appears
approx 50 times in vmlinux.

Adding -Winline to the build, the following message appears:

	./include/linux/trace_events.h:712:1: error: inlining failed in call to 'trace_trigger_soft_disabled': call is unlikely and code size would grow [-Werror=inline]

That function is rather big for an inlined function:

	c003dfd4:	4b ff ff ac 	b       c003df80 &lt;trace_trigger_soft_disabled+0x20&gt;

However it is located in a hot path so inlining it is important.
But forcing inlining of the entire function by using __always_inline
leads to increasing the text size by approx 20 kbytes.

Instead, split the fonction in two parts, one part with the likely
fast path, flagged __always_inline, and a second part out of line.

With this change, on a powerpc32 with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE
vmlinux text increases by only 1,4 kbytes, which is partly
compensated by a decrease of vmlinux data by 7 kbytes.

On ppc64_defconfig which has CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SPEED, this
change reduces vmlinux text by more than 30 kbytes.

However it is located in a hot path so inlining it is important.
But forcing inlining of the entire function by using __always_inline
leads to increasing the text size by approx 20 kbytes.

Instead, split the fonction in two parts, one part with the likely
fast path, flagged __always_inline, and a second part out of line.

With this change, on a powerpc32 with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE
vmlinux text increases by only 1,4 kbytes, which is partly
compensated by a decrease of vmlinux data by 7 kbytes.

On ppc64_defconfig which has CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SPEED, this
change reduces vmlinux text by more than 30 kbytes.

<title>tracing: Account bottom half disabled sections.</title>

<content type='text'>
Disabling only bottom halves via local_bh_disable() disables also
preemption but this remains invisible to tracing. On a CONFIG_PREEMPT
kernel one might wonder why there is no scheduling happening despite the
N flag in the trace. The reason might be the a rcu_read_lock_bh()
section.

Add a 'b' to the tracing output if in task context with disabled bottom
halves.

<title>tracing: Support __rel_loc relative dynamic data location attribute</title>

<id>05770dd0ad110854c7157d95700d7c89979cdb3e</id>
<content type='text'>
Add '__rel_loc' new dynamic data location attribute which encodes
the data location from the next to the field itself.

The '__data_loc' is used for encoding the dynamic data location on
the trace event record. But '__data_loc' is not useful if the writer
doesn't know the event header (e.g. user event), because it records
the dynamic data offset from the entry of the record, not the field
itself.

This new '__rel_loc' attribute encodes the data location relatively
from the next of the field. For example, when there is a record like
below (the number in the parentheses is the size of fields)

 |header(N)|common(M)|fields(K)|__data_loc(4)|fields(L)|data(G)|

In this case, '__data_loc' field will be

 __data_loc = (G &lt;&lt; 16) | (N+M+K+4+L)

If '__rel_loc' is used, this will be

 |header(N)|common(M)|fields(K)|__rel_loc(4)|fields(L)|data(G)|

where

 __rel_loc = (G &lt;&lt; 16) | (L)

This case shows L bytes after the '__rel_loc' attribute  field,
if there is no fields after the __rel_loc field, L must be 0.

This is relatively easy (and no need to consider the kernel header
change) when the event data fields are composed by user who doesn't
know header and common fields.

<title>tracing: Add length protection to histogram string copies</title>

<content type='text'>
The string copies to the histogram storage has a max size of 256 bytes
(defined by MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL). Only the string size of the event field
needs to be copied to the event storage, but no more than what is in the
event storage. Although nothing should be bigger than 256 bytes, there's
no protection against overwriting of the storage if one day there is.

Copy no more than the destination size, and enforce it.

Also had to turn MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL into an unsigned int, to keep the
min() comparison of the string sizes of comparable types.

<title>tracing: Increase PERF_MAX_TRACE_SIZE to handle Sentinel1 and docker together</title>

<id>e531e90b5ab0f7ce5ff298e165214c1aec6ed187</id>
<content type='text'>
Running endpoint security solutions like Sentinel1 that use perf-based
tracing heavily lead to this repeated dump complaining about dockerd.
The default value of 2048 is nowhere near not large enough.

Using the prior patch "tracing: show size of requested buffer", we get
"perf buffer not large enough, wanted 6644, have 6144", after repeated
up-sizing (I did 2/4/6/8K). With 8K, the problem doesn't occur at all,
so below is the trace for 6K.

I'm wondering if this value should be selectable at boot time, but this
is a good starting point.
