<content type='text'>
The kernel parameter "tp_printk_stop_on_boot" starts with "tp_printk" which is
the same as another kernel parameter "tp_printk". If "tp_printk" setup is
called before the "tp_printk_stop_on_boot", it will override the latter
and keep it from being set.

This is similar to other kernel parameter issues, such as:
  Commit 745a600cf1a6 ("um: console: Ignore console= option")
or init/do_mounts.c:45 (setup function of "ro" kernel param)

Fix it by checking for a "_" right after the "tp_printk" and if that
exists do not process the parameter.

tr-&gt;n_err_log_entries should only be increased if entry allocation
succeeds.

Doing it when it fails won't cause any problems other than wasting an
entry, but should be fixed anyway.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New:

   - The Real Time Linux Analysis (RTLA) tool is added to the tools
     directory.

   - Can safely filter on user space pointers with: field.ustring ~
     "match-string"

   - eprobes can now be filtered like any other event.

   - trace_marker(_raw) now uses stream_open() to allow multiple threads
     to safely write to it. Note, this could possibly break existing
     user space, but we will not know until we hear about it, and then
     can revert the change if need be.

   - New field in events to display when bottom halfs are disabled.

   - Sorting of the ftrace functions are now done at compile time
     instead of at bootup.

  Infrastructure changes to support future efforts:

   - Added __rel_loc type for trace events. Similar to __data_loc but
     the offset to the dynamic data is based off of the location of the
     descriptor and not the beginning of the event. Needed for user
     defined events.

   - Some simplification of event trigger code.

   - Make synthetic events process its callback better to not hinder
     other event callbacks that are registered. Needed for user defined
     events.

  And other small fixes and cleanups"

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.

osnoise tracer on ppc64le is triggering osnoise_taint() for negative
duration in get_int_safe_duration() called from
trace_sched_switch_callback()-&gt;thread_exit().

The problem though is that the check for a valid trace_percpu_buffer is
incorrect in get_trace_buf(). The check is being done after calculating
the pointer for the current cpu, rather than on the main percpu pointer.
Fix the check to be against trace_percpu_buffer.

The tracing marker files are write-only streams with no meaningful
concept of file position.  Using stream_open() to mark them as
stream-link indicates this and has the added advantage that a single
file descriptor can now be used from multiple threads without contention
thanks to clearing FMODE_ATOMIC_POS.

Note that this has the potential to break existing userspace by since
both lseek(2) and pwrite(2) will now return ESPIPE when previously lseek
would have updated the stored offset and pwrite would have appended to
the trace.  A survey of libtracefs and several other projects found to
use trace_marker(_raw) [1][2][3] suggests that everyone limits
themselves to calling write(2) and close(2) on these file descriptors so
there is a good chance this will go unnoticed and the benefits of
reduced overhead and lock contention seem worth the risk.

<title>tracing: Disable preemption when using the filter buffer</title>

In case trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() is called with preemption
enabled, the algorithm that defines the usage of the per cpu filter buffer
may fail if the task schedules to another CPU after determining which
buffer it will use.

Disable preemption when using the filter buffer. And because that same
buffer must be used throughout the call, keep preemption disabled until
the filter buffer is released.

This will also keep the semantics between the use case of when the filter
buffer is used, and when the ring buffer itself is used, as that case also
disables preemption until the ring buffer is released.

<title>tracing: Use __this_cpu_read() in trace_event_buffer_lock_reserver()</title>

The value read by this_cpu_read() is used later and its use is expected to
stay on the same CPU as being read. But this_cpu_read() does not warn if
it is called without preemption disabled, where as __this_cpu_read() will
check if preemption is disabled on CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT

Currently all callers have preemption disabled, but there may be new
callers in the future that may not.
