f64dd4627e ftrace: Add multi direct register/unregister interface
Adding interface to register multiple direct functions
within single call. Adding following functions:

  register_ftrace_direct_multi(struct ftrace_ops *ops, unsigned long addr)
  unregister_ftrace_direct_multi(struct ftrace_ops *ops, unsigned long addr)

The register_ftrace_direct_multi registers direct function (addr)
with all functions in ops filter. The ops filter can be updated
before with ftrace_set_filter_ip calls.

All requested functions must not have direct function currently
registered, otherwise register_ftrace_direct_multi will fail.

The unregister_ftrace_direct_multi unregisters ops related direct
functions.

0c0593b45c x86/ftrace: Make function graph use ftrace directly
We don't need special hook for graph tracer entry point,
but instead we can use graph_ops::func function to install
the return_hooker.

This moves the graph tracing setup _before_ the direct
trampoline prepares the stack, so the return_hooker will
be called when the direct trampoline is finished.

This simplifies the code, because we don't need to take into
account the direct trampoline setup when preparing the graph
tracer hooker and we can allow function graph tracer on entries
registered with direct trampoline.

34cdd18b8d tracing: Use linker magic instead of recasting ftrace_ops_list_func()
In an effort to enable -Wcast-function-type in the top-level Makefile to
support Control Flow Integrity builds, all function casts need to be
removed.

This means that ftrace_ops_list_func() can no longer be defined as
ftrace_ops_no_ops(). The reason for ftrace_ops_no_ops() is to use that when
an architecture calls ftrace_ops_list_func() with only two parameters
(called from assembly). And to make sure there's no C side-effects, those
archs call ftrace_ops_no_ops() which only has two parameters, as
ftrace_ops_list_func() has four parameters.

Instead of a typecast, use vmlinux.lds.h to define ftrace_ops_list_func() to
arch_ftrace_ops_list_func() that will define the proper set of parameters.

67ccddf866 ftrace: Introduce ftrace_need_init_nop()
Implementing live patching on s390 requires each function's prologue to
contain a very special kind of nop, which gcc and clang don't generate.
However, the current code assumes that if CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT is
defined, then whatever the compiler generates is good enough.

Move the CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT check into the new ftrace_need_init_nop()
macro, that the architectures can override.

An alternative solution is to disable using -mnop-mcount in the
Makefile, however, this makes the build logic (even) more complicated
and forces the arch-specific code to deal with the useless __fentry__
symbol.

2860cd8a23 livepatch: Use the default ftrace_ops instead of REGS when ARGS is available
When CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS is available, the ftrace call
will be able to set the ip of the calling function. This will improve the
performance of live kernel patching where it does not need all the regs to
be stored just to change the instruction pointer.

If all archs that support live kernel patching also support
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, then the architecture specific function
klp_arch_set_pc() could be made generic.

It is possible that an arch can support HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS but
not HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS and then have access to live patching.

02a474ca26 ftrace/x86: Allow for arguments to be passed in to ftrace_regs by default
Currently, the only way to get access to the registers of a function via a
ftrace callback is to set the "FL_SAVE_REGS" bit in the ftrace_ops. But as this
saves all regs as if a breakpoint were to trigger (for use with kprobes), it
is expensive.

The regs are already saved on the stack for the default ftrace callbacks, as
that is required otherwise a function being traced will get the wrong
arguments and possibly crash. And on x86, the arguments are already stored
where they would be on a pt_regs structure to use that code for both the
regs version of a callback, it makes sense to pass that information always
to all functions.

If an architecture does this (as x86_64 now does), it is to set
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and this will let the generic code that it
could have access to arguments without having to set the flags.

This also includes having the stack pointer being saved, which could be used
for accessing arguments on the stack, as well as having the function graph
tracer not require its own trampoline!

d19ad0775d ftrace: Have the callbacks receive a struct ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs
In preparation to have arguments of a function passed to callbacks attached
to functions as default, change the default callback prototype to receive a
struct ftrace_regs as the forth parameter instead of a pt_regs.

For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they
will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If
this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a
FL_SAVE_REGS flag set, it that helper function will return NULL.

This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters
and stack pointer, but without the worry that callbacks may have a pt_regs
that is not completely filled.

Inspecting the data structures of the function graph tracer, I found that
the overrun value is unsigned long, which is 8 bytes on a 64 bit machine,
and not only that, the depth is an int (4 bytes). The overrun can be simply
an unsigned int (4 bytes) and pack the ftrace_graph_ret structure better.

The depth is moved up next to the func, as it is used more often with func,
and improves cache locality.

0264c8c9e1 ftrace: Move the recursion testing into global headers
Currently, if a callback is registered to a ftrace function and its
ftrace_ops does not have the RECURSION flag set, it is encapsulated in a
helper function that does the recursion for it.

Really, all the callbacks should have their own recursion protection for
performance reasons. But they should not all implement their own. Move the
recursion helpers to global headers, so that all callbacks can use them.

fc0ea795f5 ftrace: Add symbols for ftrace trampolines
Symbols are needed for tools to describe instruction addresses. Pages
allocated for ftrace's purposes need symbols to be created for them.
Add such symbols to be visible via /proc/kallsyms.

Example on x86 with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y

	# echo function > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
	# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep '\[__builtin__ftrace\]'
	ffffffffc0238000 t ftrace_trampoline    [__builtin__ftrace]

Note: This patch adds "__builtin__ftrace" as a module name in /proc/kallsyms for
symbols for pages allocated for ftrace's purposes, even though "__builtin__ftrace"
is not a module.

I was able to trigger it on other machines, when I added to the kernel
command line of both "ftrace=function" and "trace_options=func_stack_trace".

The cause is the "ftrace=function" would register the function tracer
and create a trampoline, and it will set it as executable and
read-only. Then the "trace_options=func_stack_trace" would then update
the same trampoline to include the stack tracer version of the function
tracer. But since the trampoline already exists, it updates it with
text_poke_bp(). The problem is that text_poke_bp() called while
system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING, it will simply do a memcpy() and not
the page mapping, as it would think that the text is still read-write.
But in this case it is not, and we take a fault and crash.

Instead, lets keep the ftrace trampolines read-write during boot up,
and then when the kernel executable text is set to read-only, the
ftrace trampolines get set to read-only as well.

is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and

always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New tracing features:

   - New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a
     function.

     As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable
     all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on
     live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a
     ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it
     will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if
     ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops
     with PREMANENT flag set from being registered.

   - New register_ftrace_direct().

     As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by
     the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace
     trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF
     trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live
     patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that
     keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to
     allow for security auditing.

   - Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances.

     Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own
     tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing
     buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other
     users from writing over their data.

   - New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
     seq_buf usage.

   - Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
     to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency
     tracers.

   - Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch
     and friends.

   - More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)

   - Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
     system call trace events.

  This along with small clean ups and fixes"
