Delegate command parsing to each create function so that the
command syntax can be customized.

This requires changes to the kprobe/uprobe/synthetic event handling,
which are also included here.

<title>tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter.</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=36590c50b2d0729952511129916beeea30d31d81'/>
<id>36590c50b2d0729952511129916beeea30d31d81</id>
<content type='text'>
The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.

The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).

The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.

Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.

This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.

As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
  -&gt; ftrace_trace_stack() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()
  -&gt; ftrace_trace_userstack() -&gt; … -&gt; tracing_generic_entry_update()

In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

A build with all tracers enabled on x86-64 with and without the patch:

    text     data      bss      dec      hex    filename
21970669 17084168  7639260 46694097  2c87ed1 vmlinux.old
21970293 17084168  7639260 46693721  2c87d59 vmlinux.new

text shrank by 379 bytes, data remained constant.

Current tracing_init_dentry() return a d_entry pointer, while is not
necessary. This function returns NULL on success or error on failure,
which means there is no valid d_entry pointer return.

Let's return 0 on success and negative value for error.

Commit 60d53e2c3b75 ("tracing/probe: Split trace_event related data from
trace_probe") removed the trace_[ku]probe structure from the
trace_event_call-&gt;data pointer. As bpf_get_[ku]probe_info() were
forgotten in that change, fix them now. These functions are currently
only used by the bpf_task_fd_query() syscall handler to collect
information about a perf event.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added new "bootconfig".

   This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options,
   and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.

   Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.

   Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.

 - Created dynamic event creation.

   Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe
   events.

 - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"

 - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"

   Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"

 - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.

 - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized

 - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly

 - Various other small fixes and clean ups

* tag 'trace-v5.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (88 commits)
  bootconfig: Show the number of nodes on boot message
  tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodes

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "Kernel side changes:

   - Ftrace is one of the last W^X violators (after this only KLP is
     left). These patches move it over to the generic text_poke()
     interface and thereby get rid of this oddity. This requires a
     surprising amount of surgery, by Peter Zijlstra.

   - x86/AMD PMUs: add support for 'Large Increment per Cycle Events' to
     count certain types of events that have a special, quirky hw ABI
     (by Kim Phillips)

   - kprobes fixes by Masami Hiramatsu

  Lots of tooling updates as well, the following subcommands were
  updated: annotate/report/top, c2c, clang, record, report/top TUI,
  sched timehist, tests; plus updates were done to the gtk ui, libperf,
  headers and the parser"
