Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Various fixes to the tracing infrastructure:

   - Fix double free when the reg() call fails in
     event_trigger_callback()

   - Fix anomoly of snapshot causing tracing_on flag to change

   - Add selftest to test snapshot and tracing_on affecting each other

   - Fix setting of tracepoint flag on error that prevents probes from
     being deleted.

   - Fix another possible double free that is similar to
     event_trigger_callback()

   - Quiet a gcc warning of a false positive unused variable

   - Fix crash of partial exposed task-&gt;comm to trace events"

Not all VMAs allocated with vm_area_alloc().  Some of them allocated on
stack or in data segment.

The new helper can be use to initialize VMA properly regardless where it
was allocated.

<title>mm: fix exports that inadvertently make put_page() EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL</title>

Commit e76384884344 ("mm: introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and
CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS") added two EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() symbols, but
these symbols are required by the inlined put_page(), thus accidentally
making put_page() a GPL export only.  This breaks OpenAFS (at least).

Mark them EXPORT_SYMBOL() instead.

<title>kthread, tracing: Don't expose half-written comm when creating kthreads</title>

There is a window for racing when printing directly to task-&gt;comm,
allowing other threads to see a non-terminated string. The vsnprintf
function fills the buffer, counts the truncated chars, then finally
writes the \0 at the end.

	creator                     other
	vsnprintf:
	  fill (not terminated)
	  count the rest            trace_sched_waking(p):
	  ...                         memcpy(comm, p-&gt;comm, TASK_COMM_LEN)
	  write \0

The consequences depend on how 'other' uses the string. In our case,
it was copied into the tracing system's saved cmdlines, a buffer of
adjacent TASK_COMM_LEN-byte buffers (note the 'n' where 0 should be):

	crash-arm64&gt; x/1024s savedcmd-&gt;saved_cmdlines | grep 'evenk'
	0xffffffd5b3818640:     "irq/497-pwr_evenkworker/u16:12"

...and a strcpy out of there would cause stack corruption:

	[224761.522292] Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector:
	    Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffff9bf9783c78

	crash-arm64&gt; kbt | grep 'comm\|trace_print_context'
	#6  0xffffff9bf9783c78 in trace_print_context+0x18c(+396)
	      comm (char [16]) =  "irq/497-pwr_even"

	crash-arm64&gt; rd 0xffffffd4d0e17d14 8
	ffffffd4d0e17d14:  2f71726900000000 5f7277702d373934   ....irq/497-pwr_
	ffffffd4d0e17d24:  726f776b6e657665 3a3631752f72656b   evenkworker/u16:
	ffffffd4d0e17d34:  f9780248ff003231 cede60e0ffffff9b   12..H.x......`..
	ffffffd4d0e17d44:  cede60c8ffffffd4 00000fffffffffd4   .....`..........

The workaround in e09e28671 (use strlcpy in __trace_find_cmdline) was
likely needed because of this same bug.

Solved by vsnprintf:ing to a local buffer, then using set_task_comm().
This way, there won't be a window where comm is not terminated.

Commit 57ea2a34adf4 ("tracing/kprobes: Fix trace_probe flags on
enable_trace_kprobe() failure") added an if statement that depends on another
if statement that gcc doesn't see will initialize the "link" variable and
gives the warning:

 "warning: 'link' may be used uninitialized in this function"

It is really a false positive, but to quiet the warning, and also to make
sure that it never actually is used uninitialized, initialize the "link"
variable to NULL and add an if (!WARN_ON_ONCE(!link)) where the compiler
thinks it could be used uninitialized.

<title>tracing: Fix possible double free in event_enable_trigger_func()</title>

There was a case that triggered a double free in event_trigger_callback()
due to the called reg() function freeing the trigger_data and then it
getting freed again by the error return by the caller. The solution there
was to up the trigger_data ref count.

Code inspection found that event_enable_trigger_func() has the same issue,
but is not as easy to trigger (requires harder to trigger failures). It
needs to be solved slightly different as it needs more to clean up when the
reg() function fails.

If enable_trace_kprobe fails to enable the probe in enable_k(ret)probe
it returns an error, but does not unset the tp flags it set previously.
This results in a probe being considered enabled and failures like being
unable to remove the probe through kprobe_events file since probes_open()
expects every probe to be disabled.

<title>ring_buffer: tracing: Inherit the tracing setting to next ring buffer</title>

Maintain the tracing on/off setting of the ring_buffer when switching
to the trace buffer snapshot.

Taking a snapshot is done by swapping the backup ring buffer
(max_tr_buffer). But since the tracing on/off setting is defined
by the ring buffer, when swapping it, the tracing on/off setting
can also be changed. This causes a strange result like below:

  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
  1
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 0 &gt; tracing_on
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
  0
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 &gt; snapshot
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
  1
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 &gt; snapshot
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat tracing_on
  0

We don't touch tracing_on, but snapshot changes tracing_on
setting each time. This is an anomaly, because user doesn't know
that each "ring_buffer" stores its own tracing-enable state and
the snapshot is done by swapping ring buffers.
