Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"The majority of the changes are for fixes and clean ups.
Notable changes:
- Rework trace event triggers code to be easier to interact with.
- Support for embedding bootconfig with the kernel (as suppose to
having it embedded in initram). This is useful for embedded boards
without initram disks.
- Speed up boot by parallelizing the creation of tracefs files.
- Allow absolute ring buffer timestamps handle timestamps that use
more than 59 bits.
- Added new tracing clock "TAI" (International Atomic Time)
- Have weak functions show up in available_filter_function list as:
__ftrace_invalid_address___<invalid-offset> instead of using the
name of the function before it"

Creating tracefs entries with tracefs_create_file() followed by pr_warn() is tedious and repetitive, we can use trace_create_file() to simplify this process and make the code more readable.

The print fmt check against trace events to make sure that the format does
not use pointers that may be freed from the time of the trace to the time
the event is read, gives a false positive on %pISpc when reading data that
was saved in __get_dynamic_array() when it is perfectly fine to do so, as
the data being read is on the ring buffer.

Commit fa2c3254d7cf (sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->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.

When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list without breaking the loop, the iterator value will be a bogus pointer computed based on the head element. While it is safe to use the pointer to determine if it was computed based on the head element, either with list_entry_is_head() or &pos->member == head, using the iterator variable after the loop should be avoided. In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].

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). * tag 'trace-v5.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (30 commits) tracing: Have type enum modifications copy the strings user_events: Add trace event call as root for low permission cases tracing/user_events: Use alloc_pages instead of kzalloc() for register pages tracing: Add snapshot at end of kernel boot up tracing: Have TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM affect trace event types as well tracing: Fix strncpy warning in trace_events_synth.c user_events: Prevent dyn_event delete racing with ioctl add/delete tracing: Add TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro tracing: Move the defines to create TRACE_EVENTS into their own files tracing: Add sample code for custom trace events tracing: Allow custom events to be added to the tracefs directory tracing: Fix last_cmd_set() string management in histogram code user_events: Fix potential uninitialized pointer while parsing field tracing: Fix allocation of last_cmd in last_cmd_set() user_events: Add documentation file user_events: Add sample code for typical usage user_events: Add self-test for validator boundaries user_events: Add self-test for perf_event integration user_events: Add self-test for dynamic_events integration user_events: Add self-test for ftrace integration ...

When an enum is used in the visible parts of a trace event that is
exported to user space, the user space applications like perf and
trace-cmd do not have a way to know what the value of the enum is. To
solve this, at boot up (or module load) the printk formats are modified to
replace the enum with their numeric value in the string output.
Array fields of the event are defined by [<nr-elements>] in the type
portion of the format file so that the user space parsers can correctly
parse the array into the appropriate size chunks. But in some trace
events, an enum is used in defining the size of the array, which once
again breaks the parsing of user space tooling.
This was solved the same way as the print formats were, but it modified
the type strings of the trace event. This caused crashes in some
architectures because, as supposed to the print string, is a const string
value. This was not detected on x86, as it appears that const strings are
still writable (at least in boot up), but other architectures this is not
the case, and writing to a const string will cause a kernel fault.
To fix this, use kstrdup() to copy the type before modifying it. If the
trace event is for the core kernel there's no need to free it because the
string will be in use for the life of the machine being on line. For
modules, create a link list to store all the strings being allocated for
modules and when the module is removed, free them.

Fixes: b3bc8547d3be ("tracing: Have TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM affect trace event types as well")
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
The macro TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM is used to convert enums in the kernel to
their actual value when they are exported to user space via the trace
event format file.
Currently only the enums in the "print fmt" (TP_printk in the TRACE_EVENT
macro) have the enums converted. But the enums can be used to denote array
size:
field:unsigned int fc_ineligible_rc[EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX]; offset:12; size:36; signed:0;
The EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX has no meaning to userspace but it needs to know
that information to know how to parse the array.
Have the array indexes also be parsed as well.
