When I was updating the ftrace_stress test of ltp. I encountered
a strange phenomemon, excute following steps:
echo nop > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/funcgraph-cpu
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
check dmesg:
[ 1024.903855] nop_test_refuse flag set to 0: we refuse.Now cat trace_options to see the result
The reason is that the trace option test will randomly setup trace
option under tracing/options no matter what the current_tracer is.
but the set_tracer_option is always using the set_flag callback
from the current_tracer. This patch adds a pointer to tracer_flags
and make it point to the tracer it belongs to. When the option is
setup, the set_flag of the right tracer will be used no matter
what the the current_tracer is.
And the old dummy_tracer_flags is used for all the tracers which
doesn't have a tracer_flags, having issue to use it to save the
pointer of a tracer. So remove it and use dynamic dummy tracer_flags
for tracers needing a dummy tracer_flags, as a result, there are no
tracers sharing tracer_flags, so remove the check code.
And save the current tracer to trace_option_dentry seems not good as
it may waste mem space when mount the debug/trace fs more than one time.

[ Fixed up function tracer options to work with the change ]

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"A feature was added in 4.3 that allowed users to filter trace points
on a tasks "comm" field. But this prevented filtering on a comm field
that is within a trace event (like sched_migrate_task).
When trying to filter on when a program migrated, this change
prevented the filtering of the sched_migrate_task.
To fix this, the event fields are examined first, and then the extra
fields like "comm" and "cpu" are examined. Also, instead of testing
to assign the comm filter function based on the field's name, the
generic comm field is given a new filter type (FILTER_COMM). When
this field is used to filter the type is checked. The same is done
for the cpu filter field.
Two new special filter types are added: "COMM" and "CPU". This allows
users to still filter the tasks comm for events that have "comm" as
one of their fields, in cases that users would like to filter
sched_migrate_task on the comm of the task that called the event, and
not the comm of the task that is being migrated"

tracing: Do not have 'comm' filter override event 'comm' field
Commit 9f61668073 "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and
process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the
current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events
that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event.
That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated.
echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter
will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that
migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash"
itself gets migrated.
This fix requires a couple of changes.
1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events
fields before looking at the generic filters.
2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the
generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test
against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function.
3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based
on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field.
Do the same for "cpu" field, adding a FILTER_CPU and a filter "CPU".

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Another small bug reported to me by Chunyu Hu.
When perf added a "reg" function to the function tracing event (not a
tracepoint), it caused that event to be displayed as a tracepoint and
could cause errors in tracepoint handling. That was solved by adding
a flag to ignore ftrace non-tracepoint events. But that flag was
missed when displaying events in available_events, which should only
contain tracepoint events.
This broke a documented way to enable all events with:
cat available_events > set_event
As the function non-tracepoint event would cause that to error out.
The commit here fixes that by having the available_events file not
list events that have the ignore flag set"
* tag 'trace-fixes-v4.5-rc5-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Fix showing function event in available_events
The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.
Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.
Commit 9b63776fa3 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.
One documented way to enable all events is to:
cat available_events > set_event
But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:
cat: write error: Invalid argument

"Two more small fixes.
One is by Yang Shi who added a READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to the scan of the
stack made by the stack tracer. As the stack tracer scans the entire
kernel stack, KASAN triggers seeing it as a "stack out of bounds"
error. As the scan is looking at the contents of the stack from
parent functions. The NOCHECK() tells KASAN that this is done on
purpose, and is not some kind of stack overflow.
The second fix is to the ftrace selftests, to retrieve the PID of
executed commands from the shell with '$!' and not by parsing 'jobs'"

Pull livepatching fixes from Jiri Kosina:
- regression (from 4.4) fix for ordering issue, introduced by an
earlier ftrace change, that broke live patching of modules.
The fix replaces the ftrace module notifier by direct call in order
to make the ordering guaranteed and well-defined. The patch, from
Jessica Yu, has been acked both by Steven and Rusty
- error message fix from Miroslav Benes
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/livepatching:
ftrace/module: remove ftrace module notifier
livepatch: change the error message in asm/livepatch.h header files
Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.
This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.

When a max stack trace is discovered, the stack dump is saved. In order to
not record the overhead of the stack tracer, the ip of the traced function
is looked for within the dump. The trace is started from the location of
that function. But if for some reason the ip is not found, the entire stack
trace is then truncated. That's not very useful. Instead, print everything
if the ip of the traced function is not found within the trace.
This issue showed up on s390.
