<content type='text'>
If a trace event uses the %*.s notation, the trace_check_vprintf() will
fail and will warn about a bad processing of strings, because it does not
take into account the length field when processing the star (*) part.
Have it handle this case as well.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New feature:

   - A new "func-no-repeats" option in tracefs/options directory.

     When set the function tracer will detect if the current function
     being traced is the same as the previous one, and instead of
     recording it, it will keep track of the number of times that the
     function is repeated in a row. And when another function is
     recorded, it will write a new event that shows the function that
     repeated, the number of times it repeated and the time stamp of
     when the last repeated function occurred.

  Enhancements:

   - In order to implement the above "func-no-repeats" option, the ring
     buffer timestamp can now give the accurate timestamp of the event
     as it is being recorded, instead of having to record an absolute
     timestamp for all events. This helps the histogram code which no
     longer needs to waste ring buffer space.

   - New validation logic to make sure all trace events that access
     dereferenced pointers do so in a safe way, and will warn otherwise.

  Fixes:

   - No longer limit the PIDs of tasks that are recorded for
     "saved_cmdlines" to PID_MAX_DEFAULT (32768), as systemd now allows
     for a much larger range. This caused the mapping of PIDs to the
     task names to be dropped for all tasks with a PID greater than
     32768.

   - Change trace_clock_global() to never block. This caused a deadlock.

  Clean ups:

   - Typos, prototype fixes, and removing of duplicate or unused code.

   - Better management of ftrace_page allocations"

<id>785e3c0a3a870e72dc530856136ab4c8dd207128</id>
<content type='text'>
The default max PID is set by PID_MAX_DEFAULT, and the tracing
infrastructure uses this number to map PIDs to the comm names of the
tasks, such output of the trace can show names from the recorded PIDs in
the ring buffer. This mapping is also exported to user space via the
"saved_cmdlines" file in the tracefs directory.

But currently the mapping expects the PIDs to be less than
PID_MAX_DEFAULT, which is the default maximum and not the real maximum.
Recently, systemd will increases the maximum value of a PID on the system,
and when tasks are traced that have a PID higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT, its
comm is not recorded. This leads to the entire trace to have "&lt;...&gt;" as
the comm name, which is pretty useless.

Instead, keep the array mapping the size of PID_MAX_DEFAULT, but instead
of just mapping the index to the comm, map a mask of the PID
(PID_MAX_DEFAULT - 1) to the comm, and find the full PID from the
map_cmdline_to_pid array (that already exists).

This bug goes back to the beginning of ftrace, but hasn't been an issue
until user space started increasing the maximum value of PIDs.

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The usual updates from the irq departement:

  Core changes:

   - Provide IRQF_NO_AUTOEN as a flag for request*_irq() so drivers can
     be cleaned up which either use a seperate mechanism to prevent
     auto-enable at request time or have a racy mechanism which disables
     the interrupt right after request.

   - Get rid of the last usage of irq_create_identity_mapping() and
     remove the interface.

   - An overhaul of tasklet_disable().

     Most usage sites of tasklet_disable() are in task context and
     usually in cleanup, teardown code pathes. tasklet_disable()
     spinwaits for a tasklet which is currently executed. That's not
     only a problem for PREEMPT_RT where this can lead to a live lock
     when the disabling task preempts the softirq thread. It's also
     problematic in context of virtualization when the vCPU which runs
     the tasklet is scheduled out and the disabling code has to spin
     wait until it's scheduled back in.

     There are a few code pathes which invoke tasklet_disable() from
     non-sleepable context. For these a new disable variant which still
     spinwaits is provided which allows to switch tasklet_disable() to a
     sleep wait mechanism. For the atomic use cases this does not solve
     the live lock issue on PREEMPT_RT. That is mitigated by blocking on
     the RT specific softirq lock.

   - The PREEMPT_RT specific implementation of softirq processing and
     local_bh_disable/enable().

     On RT enabled kernels soft interrupt processing happens always in
     task context and all interrupt handlers, which are not explicitly
     marked to be invoked in hard interrupt context are forced into task
     context as well. This allows to protect against softirq processing
     with a per CPU lock, which in turn allows to make BH disabled
     regions preemptible.

     Most of the softirq handling code is still shared. The RT/non-RT
     specific differences are addressed with a set of inline functions
     which provide the context specific functionality. The
     local_bh_disable() / local_bh_enable() mechanism are obviously
     seperate.

   - The usual set of small improvements and cleanups

  Driver changes:

   - New drivers for Nuvoton WPCM450 and DT 79rc3243x interrupt
     controllers

   - Extended functionality for MStar, STM32 and SC7280 irq chips

   - Enhanced robustness for ARM GICv3/4.1 drivers

   - The usual set of cleanups and improvements all over the place"

<title>tracing: Fix checking event hash pointer logic when tp_printk is enabled</title>

<content type='text'>
Pointers in events that are printed are unhashed if the flags allow it,
and the logic to do so is called before processing the event output from
the raw ring buffer. In most cases, this is done when a user reads one of
the trace files.

But if tp_printk is added on the kernel command line, this logic is done
for trace events when they are triggered, and their output goes out via
printk. The unhash logic (and even the validation of the output) did not
support the tp_printk output, and would crash.

The field is used to keep track of the consecutive (on the same CPU) calls
of a single function. This information is needed in order to consolidate
the function tracing record in the cases when a single function is called
number of times.

KMSAN complains that new_value at cpumask_parse_user() from
write_irq_affinity() from irq_affinity_proc_write() is uninitialized.

  [  148.143823][ T5509] =====================================================

Since bitmap_parse() from cpumask_parse_user() calls find_next_bit(),
any alloc_cpumask_var() + cpumask_parse_user() sequence has possibility
that find_next_bit() accesses uninitialized cpu mask variable. Fix this
problem by replacing alloc_cpumask_var() with zalloc_cpumask_var().

The "cpu" parameter is not being used by the function.

Needed to merge trace/ftrace/urgent to get:

  Commit 59300b36f85 ("ftrace: Check if pages were allocated before calling free_pages()")

To clean up the code that is affected by it as well.
