After commit e999995c84c3 ("ftrace: cleanup ftrace_graph_caller enable
and disable") merged into the linux-next tree, the kernel test robot
(lkp@intel.com) has send out report that there are increased missing-prototypes
warnings caused by that commit.

COMPILER_INSTALL_PATH=$HOME/0day COMPILER=gcc-11.3.0 make.cross W=1 \
	O=build_dir ARCH=sh SHELL=/bin/bash kernel/trace/
warning: no previous prototype for 'ftrace_enable_ftrace_graph_caller' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
warning: no previous prototype for 'ftrace_disable_ftrace_graph_caller' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
warning: no previous prototype for 'ftrace_return_to_handler' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
warning: no previous prototype for 'ftrace_graph_sleep_time_control' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

BTW there are so many missing-prototypes warnings if build kernel with "W=1".

The increased warnings for 'ftrace_[enable,disable]_ftrace_graph_caller'
is caused by CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER &amp;&amp; !CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE,
so the declarations in &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt; can't be seen in fgraph.c.

And this warning can't reproduce on x86_64 since x86_64 select
HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER only when DYNAMIC_FTRACE, so fgraph.c will
always see the declarations in &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt;.

This patch fix the increased warnings by put the definitions in
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE although there are no real problems exist.

Pull arm64 updates from Catalin Marinas:

 - Initial support for the ARMv9 Scalable Matrix Extension (SME).

   SME takes the approach used for vectors in SVE and extends this to
   provide architectural support for matrix operations. No KVM support
   yet, SME is disabled in guests.

 - Support for crashkernel reservations above ZONE_DMA via the
   'crashkernel=X,high' command line option.

 - btrfs search_ioctl() fix for live-lock with sub-page faults.

 - arm64 perf updates: support for the Hisilicon "CPA" PMU for
   monitoring coherent I/O traffic, support for Arm's CMN-650 and
   CMN-700 interconnect PMUs, minor driver fixes, kerneldoc cleanup.

 - Kselftest updates for SME, BTI, MTE.

 - Automatic generation of the system register macros from a 'sysreg'
   file describing the register bitfields.

 - Update the type of the function argument holding the ESR_ELx register
   value to unsigned long to match the architecture register size
   (originally 32-bit but extended since ARMv8.0).

 - stacktrace cleanups.

 - ftrace cleanups.

 - Miscellaneous updates, most notably: arm64-specific huge_ptep_get(),
   avoid executable mappings in kexec/hibernate code, drop TLB flushing
   from get_clear_flush() (and rename it to get_clear_contig()),
   ARCH_NR_GPIO bumped to 2048 for ARCH_APPLE.

<title>sched/tracing: Append prev_state to tp args instead</title>

Commit fa2c3254d7cf (sched/tracing: Don't re-read p-&gt;state when emitting
sched_switch event, 2022-01-20) added a new prev_state argument to the
sched_switch tracepoint, before the prev task_struct pointer.

This reordering of arguments broke BPF programs that use the raw
tracepoint (e.g. tp_btf programs). The type of the second argument has
changed and existing programs that assume a task_struct* argument
(e.g. for bpf_task_storage access) will now fail to verify.

If we instead append the new argument to the end, all existing programs
would continue to work and can conditionally extract the prev_state
argument on supported kernel versions.

The ftrace_[enable,disable]_ftrace_graph_caller() are used to do
special hooks for graph tracer, which are not needed on some ARCHs
that use graph_ops:func function to install return_hooker.

So introduce the weak version in ftrace core code to cleanup
in x86.

<title>ftrace: Make ftrace_graph_is_dead() a static branch</title>

<content type='text'>
ftrace_graph_is_dead() is used on hot paths, it just reads a variable
in memory and is not worth suffering function call constraints.

For instance, at entry of prepare_ftrace_return(), inlining it avoids
saving prepare_ftrace_return() parameters to stack and restoring them
after calling ftrace_graph_is_dead().

While at it using a static branch is even more performant and is
rather well adapted considering that the returned value will almost
never change.

Inline ftrace_graph_is_dead() and replace 'kill_ftrace_graph' bool
by a static branch.

The performance improvement is noticeable.

  c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p-&gt;on_cpu")

the following sequence becomes possible:

		      p-&gt;__state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
		      __schedule()
			deactivate_task(p);
  ttwu()
    READ !p-&gt;on_rq
    p-&gt;__state=TASK_WAKING
			trace_sched_switch()
			  __trace_sched_switch_state()
			    task_state_index()
			      return 0;

TASK_WAKING isn't in TASK_REPORT, so the task appears as TASK_RUNNING in
the trace event.

Prevent this by pushing the value read from __schedule() down the trace
event.

We don't need special hook for graph tracer entry point,
but instead we can use graph_ops::func function to install
the return_hooker.

This moves the graph tracing setup _before_ the direct
trampoline prepares the stack, so the return_hooker will
be called when the direct trampoline is finished.

This simplifies the code, because we don't need to take into
account the direct trampoline setup when preparing the graph
tracer hooker and we can allow function graph tracer on entries
registered with direct trampoline.

<title>fgraph: Initialize tracing_graph_pause at task creation</title>

On some archs, the idle task can call into cpu_suspend(). The cpu_suspend()
will disable or pause function graph tracing, as there's some paths in
bringing down the CPU that can have issues with its return address being
modified. The task_struct structure has a "tracing_graph_pause" atomic
counter, that when set to something other than zero, the function graph
tracer will not modify the return address.

The problem is that the tracing_graph_pause counter is initialized when the
function graph tracer is enabled. This can corrupt the counter for the idle
task if it is suspended in these architectures.

   CPU 1				CPU 2
   -----				-----
  do_idle()
    cpu_suspend()
      pause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause++ (0 -&gt; 1)

				start_graph_tracing()
				  for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
				    ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(cpu)
				      task-struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause = 0 (1 -&gt; 0)

      unpause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause-- (0 -&gt; -1)

The above should have gone from 1 to zero, and enabled function graph
tracing again. But instead, it is set to -1, which keeps it disabled.

There's no reason that the field tracing_graph_pause on the task_struct can
not be initialized at boot up.
