git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH: "Here is the large set of char/misc/whatever driver subsystem updates for 5.12-rc1. Over time it seems like this tree is collecting more and more tiny driver subsystems in one place, making it easier for those maintainers, which is why this is getting larger.

2021-02-11tracing: Add ptr-hash option to show the hashed pointer valueMasami Hiramatsu
Add tracefs/options/hash-ptr option to show hashed pointer value by %p in event printk format string. For the security reason, normal printk will show the hashed pointer value (encrypted by random number) with %p to printk buffer to hide the real address. But the tracefs/trace always shows real address for debug. To bridge those outputs, add an option to switch the output format. Ftrace users can use it to find the hashed value corresponding to the real address in trace log.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: "The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config option called CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. Currently, only x86_64 enables it. All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception (needed for kprobes). A new config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at most every event recorded. Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those callbacks). Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do it for it (saving on that extra function call). New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer. This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the function tracer. The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.

Also fixed some zone->lru_lock comment error from ancient time. etc. I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.

2020-10-05tracing: Add support for dynamic strings to synthetic eventsTom Zanussi
Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as: # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event. It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to synthetic events via the trace() action. With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined: # echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either dynamic or static strings: # echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file. [ <rostedt@goodmis.org>: added __set_synth_event_print_fmt() changes: I added the following to make it work with trace-cmd. Dynamic strings must have __get_str() for events in the print_fmt otherwise it can't be parsed correctly. ] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1601588066.git.zanussi@kernel.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/3ed35b6d0e390f5b94cb4a9ba1cc18f5982ab277.1601848695.git.zanussi@kernel.org Tested-by: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@google.com> Signed-off-by: Tom Zanussi <zanussi@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
2020-09-25tracepoints: Add helper to test if tracepoint is enabled in a headerSteven Rostedt (VMware)
As tracepoints are discouraged from being added in a header because it can cause side effects if other tracepoints are in headers, as well as bloat the kernel as the trace_<tracepoint>() function is not a small inline, the common workaround is to add a function call that calls a wrapper function in a C file that then calls the tracepoint. But as function calls add overhead, this function should only be called when the tracepoint in question is enabled. To get around this overhead, a static_branch can be used to only have the tracepoint wrapper get called when the tracepoint is enabled. Add a tracepoint_enabled(tp) macro that gets passed the name of the tracepoint, and this becomes a static_branch that is enabled when the tracepoint is enabled and is a nop when the tracepoint is disabled.

Rationale: Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate. Deterministic algorithm: For each file: For each line: If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`: For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`: If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions return 200 OK and serve the same content: Replace HTTP with HTTPS.
