Pull probe events fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - probe-events: Remove unused MAX_ARG_BUF_LEN macro - it is not used

 - fprobe-events: Log error for exceeding the number of entry args.

   Since the max number of entry args is limited, it should be checked
   and rejected when the parser detects it.

 - tprobe-events: Reject invalid tracepoint name

   If a user specifies an invalid tracepoint name (e.g. including '/')
   then the new event is not defined correctly in the eventfs.

 - tprobe-events: Fix a memory leak when tprobe defined with $retval

   There is a memory leak if tprobe is defined with $retval.

Check whether denominator expression x * (x - 1) * 1000 mod {2^32, 2^64}

For now don't care about rec-&gt;counter * rec-&gt;counter overflow because

<title>tracing: Fix bad hist from corrupting named_triggers list</title>

The following commands causes a crash:

 ~# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/events/rcu/rcu_callback
 ~# echo 'hist:name=bad:keys=common_pid:onmax(bogus).save(common_pid)' &gt; trigger
 bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
 ~# echo 'hist:name=bad:keys=common_pid' &gt; trigger

Because the following occurs:

event_trigger_write() {
  trigger_process_regex() {
    event_hist_trigger_parse() {

      data = event_trigger_alloc(..);

      event_trigger_register(.., data) {
        cmd_ops-&gt;reg(.., data, ..) [hist_register_trigger()] {
          data-&gt;ops-&gt;init() [event_hist_trigger_init()] {
            save_named_trigger(name, data) {
              list_add(&amp;data-&gt;named_list, &amp;named_triggers);
            }
          }
        }
      }

      ret = create_actions(); (return -EINVAL)
      if (ret)
        goto out_unreg;
[..]
      ret = hist_trigger_enable(data, ...) {
        list_add_tail_rcu(&amp;data-&gt;list, &amp;file-&gt;triggers); &lt;&lt;&lt;---- SKIPPED!!! (this is important!)
[..]
 out_unreg:
      event_hist_unregister(.., data) {
        cmd_ops-&gt;unreg(.., data, ..) [hist_unregister_trigger()] {
          list_for_each_entry(iter, &amp;file-&gt;triggers, list) {
            if (!hist_trigger_match(data, iter, named_data, false))   &lt;- never matches
                continue;
            [..]
            test = iter;
          }
          if (test &amp;&amp; test-&gt;ops-&gt;free) &lt;&lt;&lt;-- test is NULL

            test-&gt;ops-&gt;free(test) [event_hist_trigger_free()] {
              [..]
              if (data-&gt;name)
                del_named_trigger(data) {
                  list_del(&amp;data-&gt;named_list);  &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;-- NEVER gets removed!
                }
              }
           }
         }

         [..]
         kfree(data); &lt;&lt;&lt;-- frees item but it is still on list

The next time a hist with name is registered, it causes an u-a-f bug and
the kernel can crash.

Move the code around such that if event_trigger_register() succeeds, the
next thing called is hist_trigger_enable() which adds it to the list.

A bunch of actions is called if get_named_trigger_data() returns false.
But that doesn't need to be called after event_trigger_register(), so it
can be moved up, allowing event_trigger_register() to be called just
before hist_trigger_enable() keeping them together and allowing the
file-&gt;triggers to be properly populated.

Commit 57a7e6de9e30 ("tracing/fprobe: Support raw tracepoints on
future loaded modules") allows user to set a tprobe on non-exist
tracepoint but it does not check the tracepoint name is acceptable.
So it leads tprobe has a wrong character for events (e.g. with
subsystem prefix). In this case, the event is not shown in the
events directory.

Reject such invalid tracepoint name.

The tracepoint name must consist of alphabet or digit or '_'.

Fix a memory leak when a tprobe is defined with $retval. This
combination is not allowed, but the parse_symbol_and_return() does
not free the *symbol which should not be used if it returns the error.
Thus, it leaks the *symbol memory in that error path.

kmemleak reports the following memory leak after reading set_event file:

  # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
  unreferenced object 0xff110001234449e0 (size 16):
  comm "cat", pid 13645, jiffies 4294981880
  hex dump (first 16 bytes):
    01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 a8 71 e7 84 ff ff ff ff  .........q......
  backtrace (crc c43abbc):
    __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x3ca/0x4b0
    s_start+0x72/0x2d0
    seq_read_iter+0x265/0x1080
    seq_read+0x2c9/0x420
    vfs_read+0x166/0xc30
    ksys_read+0xf4/0x1d0
    do_syscall_64+0x79/0x150
    entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e

The issue can be reproduced regardless of whether set_event is empty or
not. Here is an example about the valid content of set_event.

  # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event
  sched:sched_process_fork
  sched:sched_switch
  sched:sched_wakeup
  *:*:mod:trace_events_sample

The root cause is that s_next() returns NULL when nothing is found.
This results in s_stop() attempting to free a NULL pointer because its
parameter is NULL.

Fix the issue by freeing the memory appropriately when s_next() fails
to find anything.

<title>ftrace: Correct preemption accounting for function tracing.</title>

The function tracer should record the preemption level at the point when
the function is invoked. If the tracing subsystem decrement the
preemption counter it needs to correct this before feeding the data into
the trace buffer. This was broken in the commit cited below while
shifting the preempt-disabled section.

Use tracing_gen_ctx_dec() which properly subtracts one from the
preemption counter on a preemptible kernel.

<title>fprobe: Fix accounting of when to unregister from function graph</title>

When adding a new fprobe, it will update the function hash to the
functions the fprobe is attached to and register with function graph to
have it call the registered functions. The fprobe_graph_active variable
keeps track of the number of fprobes that are using function graph.

If two fprobes attach to the same function, it increments the
fprobe_graph_active for each of them. But when they are removed, the first
fprobe to be removed will see that the function it is attached to is also
used by another fprobe and it will not remove that function from
function_graph. The logic will skip decrementing the fprobe_graph_active
variable.

This causes the fprobe_graph_active variable to not go to zero when all
fprobes are removed, and in doing so it does not unregister from
function graph. As the fgraph ops hash will now be empty, and an empty
filter hash means all functions are enabled, this triggers function graph
to add a callback to the fprobe infrastructure for every function!

If a fprobe is being removed and all its functions are also traced by
other fprobes, still decrement the fprobe_graph_active counter.
