Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"This is a trivial patch that changes a check for a cpumask from a NULL
pointer to using cpumask_available(), which will do the check. This is
because cpumasks when not allocated are always set, and clang
complains about it"

"These are three simple changes.
The first one is just a switch from using strcpy() to strlcpy().
Someone thought that it may cause an overflow bug, but since it only
copies comms into a pre-allocated array of TASK_COMM_LEN, and no comm
should ever be bigger than that, nor not end with a nul character,
this change is more of a safety precaution than fixing anything that
is actually broken.
The other two changes are simply cleaning and optimizing some code"
* tag 'trace-v4.12-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
ftrace: Simplify ftrace_match_record() even more
ftrace: Remove an unneeded condition
tracing: Use strlcpy() instead of strcpy() in __trace_find_cmdline()
Dan Carpenter sent a patch to remove a check in ftrace_match_record()
because the logic of the code made the check redundant. I looked deeper into
the code, and made the following logic table, with the three variables and
the result of the original code.
modname mod_matches exclude_mod result
------- ----------- ----------- ------
0 0 0 return 0
0 0 1 func_match
0 1 * < cannot exist >
1 0 0 return 0
1 0 1 func_match
1 1 0 func_match
1 1 1 return 0
Notice that when mod_matches == exclude mod, the result is always to
return 0, and when mod_matches != exclude_mod, then the result is to test
the function. This means we only need test if mod_matches is equal to
exclude_mod.

"New features for this release:
- Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.
i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
- The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing
instances. i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo
do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter The old way was written very
hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
- New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the
set_ftrace_pid will have their children added when the processes
with their pids listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
- Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
- Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function
tracer (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing
will come in the next release.
- Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance"

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
- Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
From Paolo.
- Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.
- A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
times, solving various problems with hot removal.
- A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
device.
- A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.
- A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
more than a decade.
- Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.
- blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
marked experimental for now.
- Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
IO.

- A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also

When reading the ring buffer for consuming, it is optimized for splice,
where a page is taken out of the ring buffer (zero copy) and sent to the
reading consumer. When the read is finished with the page, it calls
ring_buffer_free_read_page(), which simply frees the page. The next time the
reader needs to get a page from the ring buffer, it must call
ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() which allocates and initializes a reader page
for the ring buffer to be swapped into the ring buffer for a new filled page
for the reader.
The problem is that there's no reason to actually free the page when it is
passed back to the ring buffer. It can hold it off and reuse it for the next
iteration. This completely removes the interaction with the page_alloc
mechanism.
Using the trace-cmd utility to record all events (causing trace-cmd to
require reading lots of pages from the ring buffer, and calling
ring_buffer_alloc/free_read_page() several times), and also assigning a
stack trace trigger to the mm_page_alloc event, we can see how many times
the ring_buffer_alloc_read_page() needed to allocate a page for the ring
buffer.

# trace-cmd record -e all -e mem_page_alloc -R stacktrace sleep 1
# trace-cmd report |grep ring_buffer_alloc_read_page | wc -l

Pass around the local trace_array that is the descriptor for tracing
instances, when enabling and disabling probes. This by default sets the
enable/disable of event probe triggers to work with instances.
The other probes will need some more work to get them working with
instances.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes
(triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe
callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes
still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for
instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the
top array.
That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an
instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but
this change sets the ground work for the change.
When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into
set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in
init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching
function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init()
function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to
a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first
occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then
initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the
probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place
holder data that it was initialized to the last time.
Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions,
where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free()
function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function
that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no
more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be
freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the
place holder if it was allocade during the first init call.

In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique
set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and
the filters for the probes.
This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private
data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that
the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need
one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for
each instance, instead of being static.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Pass the trace_array associated to a ftrace_probe_ops into the probe_ops
func(), init() and free() functions. The trace_array is the descriptor that
describes a tracing instance. This will help create the infrastructure that
will allow having function probes unique to tracing instances.
Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Add a link list to the trace_array to hold func probes that are registered.
Currently, all function probes are the same for all instances as it was
before, that is, only the top level trace_array holds the function probes.
But this lays the ground work to have function probes be attached to
individual instances, and having the event trigger only affect events in the
given instance. But that work is still to be done.

If the ftrace_hash_move_and_update_ops() fails, and an ops->free() function

Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Now that the function probes have their own ftrace_ops, there's no reason to
continue using the ftrace_func_hash to find which probe to call in the
function callback. The ops that is passed in to the function callback is
part of the probe_ops to call.
