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

Commit 99c9a923e97a ("tracing/uprobe: Fix double perf_event
linking on multiprobe uprobe") moved trace_uprobe_filter on
trace_probe_event. However, since it introduced a flexible
data structure with char array and type casting, the
alignment of trace_uprobe_filter can be broken.

This changes the type of the array to trace_uprobe_filter
data strucure to fix it.

Fix double perf_event linking to trace_uprobe_filter on
multiple uprobe event by moving trace_uprobe_filter under
trace_probe_event.

In uprobe perf event, trace_uprobe_filter data structure is
managing target mm filters (in perf_event) related to each
uprobe event.

Since commit 60d53e2c3b75 ("tracing/probe: Split trace_event
related data from trace_probe") left the trace_uprobe_filter
data structure in trace_uprobe, if a trace_probe_event has
multiple trace_uprobe (multi-probe event), a perf_event is
added to different trace_uprobe_filter on each trace_uprobe.
This leads a linked list corruption.

To fix this issue, move trace_uprobe_filter to trace_probe_event
and link it once on each event instead of each probe.

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion.
The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither
of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be
renamed as:

   perf's ring_buffer -&gt; perf_buffer
   ftrace's ring_buffer -&gt; trace_buffer

This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

<title>ftrace: Rework event_create_dir()</title>

Rework event_create_dir() to use an array of static data instead of
function pointers where possible.

The problem is that it would call the function pointer on module load
before parse_args(), possibly even before jump_labels were initialized.
Luckily the generated functions don't use jump_labels but it still seems
fragile. It also gets in the way of changing when we make the module map
executable.

The generated function are basically calling trace_define_field() with a
bunch of static arguments. So instead of a function, capture these
arguments in a static array, avoiding the function call.

Now there are a number of cases where the fields are dynamic (syscall
arguments, kprobes and uprobes), in which case a static array does not
work, for these we preserve the function call. Luckily all these cases
are not related to modules and so we can retain the function call for
them.

Also fix up all broken tracepoint definitions that now generate a
compile error.

<title>tracing: Add locked_down checks to the open calls of files created for tracefs</title>

Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown
mode, and if so, to return -EPERM.

Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines)
as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being
traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter
intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been
modified.
