Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 889204278c tracing: Update trace-event-sample with TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR documentation
Add documentation about TRACE_SYSTEM needing to be alpha-numeric or with
underscores, and that if it is not, then the use of TRACE_SYSTEM_VAR is
required to make something that is.

An example of this is shown in samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.h

Alexei Starovoitov 91bc4822c3 tc: bpf: add checksum helpers
Commit 608cd71a9c ("tc: bpf: generalize pedit action") has added the
possibility to mangle packet data to BPF programs in the tc pipeline.
This patch adds two helpers bpf_l3_csum_replace() and bpf_l4_csum_replace()
for fixing up the protocol checksums after the packet mangling.

It also adds 'flags' argument to bpf_skb_store_bytes() helper to avoid
unnecessary checksum recomputations when BPF programs adjusting l3/l4
checksums and documents all three helpers in uapi header.

Moreover, a sample program is added to show how BPF programs can make use
of the mangle and csum helpers.

Alexei Starovoitov 9811e35359 samples/bpf: Add kmem_alloc()/free() tracker tool
One BPF program attaches to kmem_cache_alloc_node() and
remembers all allocated objects in the map.
Another program attaches to kmem_cache_free() and deletes
corresponding object from the map.

User space walks the map every second and prints any objects
which are older than 1 second.

Usage:

	$ sudo tracex4

Then start few long living processes. The 'tracex4' will print
something like this:

	obj 0xffff880465928000 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
	obj 0xffff88043181c280 is 13sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
	obj 0xffff880465848000 is  8sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32
	obj 0xffff8804338bc280 is 15sec old was allocated at ip ffffffff8105dc32

	$ addr2line -fispe vmlinux ffffffff8105dc32
	do_fork at fork.c:1665

As soon as processes exit the memory is reclaimed and 'tracex4'
prints nothing.

Similar experiment can be done with the __kmalloc()/kfree() pair.

Alexei Starovoitov 5c7fc2d27d samples/bpf: Add IO latency analysis (iosnoop/heatmap) tool
BPF C program attaches to
blk_mq_start_request()/blk_update_request() kprobe events to
calculate IO latency.

For every completed block IO event it computes the time delta
in nsec and records in a histogram map:

	map[log10(delta)*10]++

User space reads this histogram map every 2 seconds and prints
it as a 'heatmap' using gray shades of text terminal. Black
spaces have many events and white spaces have very few events.
Left most space is the smallest latency, right most space is
the largest latency in the range.

Usage:

	$ sudo ./tracex3
	and do 'sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null' in other terminal.

Observe IO latencies and how different activity (like 'make
kernel') affects it.

Similar experiments can be done for network transmit latencies,
syscalls, etc.

'-t' flag prints the heatmap using normal ascii characters:

$ sudo ./tracex3 -t
  heatmap of IO latency
  # - many events with this latency
    - few events

Alexei Starovoitov d822a19268 samples/bpf: Add counting example for kfree_skb() function calls and the write() syscall
this example has two probes in one C file that attach to
different kprove events and use two different maps.

1st probe is x64 specific equivalent of dropmon. It attaches to
kfree_skb, retrevies 'ip' address of kfree_skb() caller and
counts number of packet drops at that 'ip' address. User space
prints 'location - count' map every second.

2nd probe attaches to kprobe:sys_write and computes a histogram
of different write sizes

Usage:
	$ sudo tracex2
	location 0xffffffff81695995 count 1
	location 0xffffffff816d0da9 count 2

Alexei Starovoitov b896c4f95a samples/bpf: Add simple non-portable kprobe filter example
tracex1_kern.c - C program compiled into BPF.

It attaches to kprobe:netif_receive_skb()

When skb->dev->name == "lo", it prints sample debug message into
trace_pipe via bpf_trace_printk() helper function.

tracex1_user.c - corresponding user space component that:
  - loads BPF program via bpf() syscall
  - opens kprobes:netif_receive_skb event via perf_event_open()
    syscall
  - attaches the program to event via ioctl(event_fd,
    PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF, prog_fd);
  - prints from trace_pipe

Note, this BPF program is non-portable. It must be recompiled
with current kernel headers. kprobe is not a stable ABI and
BPF+kprobe scripts may no longer be meaningful when kernel
internals change.

No matter in what way the kernel changes, neither the kprobe,
nor the BPF program can ever crash or corrupt the kernel,
assuming the kprobes, perf and BPF subsystem has no bugs.

The verifier will detect that the program is using
bpf_trace_printk() and the kernel will print 'this is a DEBUG
kernel' warning banner, which means that bpf_trace_printk()
should be used for debugging of the BPF program only.

Usage:
$ sudo tracex1
            ping-19826 [000] d.s2 63103.382648: : skb ffff880466b1ca00 len 84

Daniel Borkmann f1a66f85b7 ebpf: export BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to uapi
We need to export BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD to user space, as it's used in the
ELF BPF loader where instructions are being loaded that need map fixups.

An initial stage loads all maps into the kernel, and later on replaces
related instructions in the eBPF blob with BPF_PSEUDO_MAP_FD as source
register and the actual fd as immediate value.

The kernel verifier recognizes this keyword and replaces the map fd with
a real pointer internally.

Linus Torvalds 41cbc01f6e Merge tag 'trace-v3.20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The updates included in this pull request for ftrace are:

   o Several clean ups to the code

     One such clean up was to convert to 64 bit time keeping, in the
     ring buffer benchmark code.

   o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT()

   o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways
     to make trace events.  Lots of features have been added since the
     sample code was made, and these features are mostly unknown.
     Developers have been making their own hacks to do things that are
     already available.

   o Performance improvements.  Most notably, I found a performance bug
     where a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer
     will see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep.  The
     sched event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up
     again.  It would see that there was still not a full page, and go
     back to sleep again, and that would wake it up again, until finally
     it would see a full page.  This change has been marked for stable.

  Other improvements include removing global locks from fast paths"

Linus Torvalds 1d9c5d79e6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching
Pull live patching infrastructure from Jiri Kosina:
 "Let me provide a bit of history first, before describing what is in
  this pile.

  Originally, there was kSplice as a standalone project that implemented
  stop_machine()-based patching for the linux kernel.  This project got
  later acquired, and the current owner is providing live patching as a
  proprietary service, without any intentions to have their
  implementation merged.

  Then, due to rising user/customer demand, both Red Hat and SUSE
  started working on their own implementation (not knowing about each
  other), and announced first versions roughly at the same time [1] [2].

  The principle difference between the two solutions is how they are
  making sure that the patching is performed in a consistent way when it
  comes to different execution threads with respect to the semantic
  nature of the change that is being introduced.

  In a nutshell, kPatch is issuing stop_machine(), then looking at
  stacks of all existing processess, and if it decides that the system
  is in a state that can be patched safely, it proceeds insterting code
  redirection machinery to the patched functions.

  On the other hand, kGraft provides a per-thread consistency during one
  single pass of a process through the kernel and performs a lazy
  contignuous migration of threads from "unpatched" universe to the
  "patched" one at safe checkpoints.

  If interested in a more detailed discussion about the consistency
  models and its possible combinations, please see the thread that
  evolved around [3].

  It pretty quickly became obvious to the interested parties that it's
  absolutely impractical in this case to have several isolated solutions
  for one task to co-exist in the kernel.  During a dedicated Live
  Kernel Patching track at LPC in Dusseldorf, all the interested parties
  sat together and came up with a joint aproach that would work for both
  distro vendors.  Steven Rostedt took notes [4] from this meeting.

  And the foundation for that aproach is what's present in this pull
  request.

  It provides a basic infrastructure for function "live patching" (i.e.
  code redirection), including API for kernel modules containing the
  actual patches, and API/ABI for userspace to be able to operate on the
  patches (look up what patches are applied, enable/disable them, etc).

  It's relatively simple and minimalistic, as it's making use of
  existing kernel infrastructure (namely ftrace) as much as possible.
  It's also self-contained, in a sense that it doesn't hook itself in
  any other kernel subsystem (it doesn't even touch any other code).
  It's now implemented for x86 only as a reference architecture, but
  support for powerpc, s390 and arm is already in the works (adding
  arch-specific support basically boils down to teaching ftrace about
  regs-saving).

  Once this common infrastructure gets merged, both Red Hat and SUSE
  have agreed to immediately start porting their current solutions on
  top of this, abandoning their out-of-tree code.  The plan basically is
  that each patch will be marked by flag(s) that would indicate which
  consistency model it is willing to use (again, the details have been
  sketched out already in the thread at [3]).

  Before this happens, the current codebase can be used to patch a large
  group of secruity/stability problems the patches for which are not too
  complex (in a sense that they don't introduce non-trivial change of
  function's return value semantics, they don't change layout of data
  structures, etc) -- this corresponds to LEAVE_FUNCTION &&
  SWITCH_FUNCTION semantics described at [3].

  This tree has been in linux-next since December.

  [ The core code is introduced by the three commits authored by Seth
    Jennings, which got a lot of changes incorporated during numerous
    respins and reviews of the initial implementation.  All the followup
    commits have materialized only after public tree has been created,
    so they were not folded into initial three commits so that the
    public tree doesn't get rebased ]"

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) 7496946a88 tracing: Add samples of DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT()
Add to samples/trace_events/ the macros DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and
DEFINE_EVENT() and recommend using them over multiple TRACE_EVENT()
macros if the multiple events have the same format.
