Rename xbc_node_find_child() to xbc_node_find_subkey() for
clarifying that function returns a key node (no value node).
Since there are xbc_node_for_each_child() (loop on all child
nodes) and xbc_node_for_each_subkey() (loop on only subkey
nodes), this name distinction is necessary to avoid confusing
users.

trace_boot_hist_add_array() uses the combination of
xbc_node_find_child() and xbc_node_get_child() to get the
child node of the key node. But since it missed to check
the child node is data node or not, user can pass the
subkey node for the array node (anode).
To avoid this issue, check the array node is a data node.
Actually, there is xbc_node_find_value(node, key, vnode),
which ensures the @vnode is a value node, so use it in
trace_boot_hist_add_array() to fix this issue.

Since the commit e5efaeb8a8 ("bootconfig: Support mixing
a value and subkeys under a key") allows to co-exist a value
node and key nodes under a node, xbc_node_for_each_child()
is not only returning key node but also a value node.
In the boot-time tracing using xbc_node_for_each_child() to
iterate the events, groups and instances, but those must be
key nodes. Thus it must use xbc_node_for_each_subkey().

Add multiple histograms support for each event. This allows
user to set multiple histograms to an event.
ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]event.GROUP.EVENT.hist[.N] {
...
}
The 'N' is a digit started string and it can be omitted
for the default histogram.
For example, multiple hist triggers example in the
Documentation/trace/histogram.rst can be written as below;
ftrace.event.net.netif_receive_skb.hist {
1 {
keys = skbaddr.hex
values = len
filter = len < 0
}
2 {
keys = skbaddr.hex
values = len
filter = len > 4096
}
3 {
keys = skbaddr.hex
values = len
filter = len == 256
}
4 {
keys = skbaddr.hex
values = len
}
5 {
keys = len
values = common_preempt_count
}
}

Support multiple handlers for per-event histogram in boot-time tracing.
Since the histogram can register multiple same handler-actions with
different parameters, this expands the syntax to support such cases.
With this update, the 'onmax', 'onchange' and 'onmatch' handler subkeys
under per-event histogram option will take a number subkeys optionally
as below. (see [.N])
ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]event.GROUP.EVENT.hist {
onmax|onchange[.N] { var = <VAR>; <ACTION> [= <PARAM>] }
onmatch[.N] { event = <EVENT>; <ACTION> [= <PARAM>] }
}
The 'N' must be a digit (or digit started word).
Thus user can add several handler-actions to the histogram,
for example,
ftrace.event.SOMEGROUP.SOMEEVENT.hist {
keys = SOME_ID; lat = common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0
onmatch.1 {
event = GROUP1.STARTEVENT1
trace = latency_event, SOME_ID, $lat
}
onmatch.2 {
event = GROUP2.STARTEVENT2
trace = latency_event, SOME_ID, $lat
}
}
Then, it can trace the elapsed time from GROUP1.STARTEVENT1 to
SOMEGROUP.SOMEEVENT, and from GROUP2.STARTEVENT2 to
SOMEGROUP.SOMEEVENT with SOME_ID key.

Add a hist-trigger action syntax support to boot-time tracing.
Currently, boot-time tracing supports per-event actions as option
strings. However, for the histogram action, it has a special syntax
and usually needs a long action definition.
To make it readable and fit to the bootconfig syntax, this introduces
a new options for histogram.
Here are the histogram action options for boot-time tracing.
ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]event.GROUP.EVENT.hist {
keys = <KEY>[,...]
values = <VAL>[,...]
sort = <SORT-KEY>[,...]
size = <ENTRIES>
name = <HISTNAME>
var { <VAR> = <EXPR> ... }
pause|continue|clear
onmax|onchange { var = <VAR>; <ACTION> [= <PARAM>] }
onmatch { event = <EVENT>; <ACTION> [= <PARAM>] }
filter = <FILTER>
}
Where <ACTION> is one of below;
trace = <EVENT>, <ARG1>[, ...]
save = <ARG1>[, ...]

Add ftrace.instance.*.alloc_snapshot option.
This option has been described in Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst
but not implemented yet.
ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]alloc_snapshot
Allocate snapshot buffer.
The difference from kernel.alloc_snapshot is that the kernel.alloc_snapshot
will allocate the buffer only for the main instance, but this can allocate
buffer for any new instances.

Fix boottime kprobe events to report and abort after each failure when
adding probes.
As an example, when we try to set multiprobe kprobe events in
bootconfig like this:
ftrace.event.kprobes.vfsevents {
probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2,,
!error! not reported;?", // leads to error
"vfs_write $arg1 $arg2"
}
This will not work as expected. After
commit da0f1f4167 ("tracing/boottime: Fix kprobe event API usage"),
the function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event will not produce any error
message when adding a probe fails at kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start.
Furthermore, we continue to add probes when kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end fails
(and kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start did not fail). In this case the function
even returns successfully when the last call to kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end
is successful.
The behaviour of reporting and aborting after failures is not
consistent.
The function trace_boot_add_kprobe_event now reports each failure and
stops adding probes immediately.

Fix boottime kprobe events to use API correctly for
multiple events.
For example, when we set a multiprobe kprobe events in
bootconfig like below,
ftrace.event.kprobes.myevent {
probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2", "vfs_write $arg1 $arg2"
}
This cause an error;
trace_boot: Failed to add probe: p:kprobes/myevent (null) vfs_read $arg1 $arg2 vfs_write $arg1 $arg2
This shows the 1st argument becomes NULL and multiprobes
are merged to 1 probe.

The trace_array_get_by_name() creates a ftrace instance and
trace_array_put() is used to remove the reference. Even though the
trace_array_get_by_name() creates the instance, it also adds a reference
count to it, that prevents user space from removing it.
As the bootconfig just creates the instance on boot up, it should still be
used where it can be deleted by user space after boot. A trace_array_put()
is required to let that happen.
Also, change the documentation on trace_array_get_by_name() to make this not
be so confusing.
