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.

Add below function-tracer filter options to boot-time tracing.
- ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]ftrace.filters
This will take an array of tracing function filter rules
- ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]ftrace.notraces
This will take an array of NON-tracing function filter rules

Add synthetic event node support to boot time tracing.
The synthetic event is a kind of event node, but the group
name is "synthetic".
- ftrace.event.synthetic.EVENT.fields = FIELD[, FIELD2...]
Defines new synthetic event with FIELDs. Each field should be
"type varname".
The synthetic node requires "fields" string arraies, which defines
the fields as same as tracing/synth_events interface.

Add kprobe event support on event node to boot-time tracing.
If the group name of event is "kprobes", the boot-time tracing
defines new probe event according to "probes" values.
- ftrace.event.kprobes.EVENT.probes = PROBE[, PROBE2...]
Defines new kprobe event based on PROBEs. It is able to define
multiple probes on one event, but those must have same type of
arguments.
For example,
ftrace.events.kprobes.myevent {
probes = "vfs_read $arg1 $arg2";
enable;
}
This will add kprobes:myevent on vfs_read with the 1st and the 2nd
arguments.

Add per-event settings for boottime tracing. User can set filter,
actions and enable on each event on boot. The event entries are
under ftrace.event.GROUP.EVENT node (note that the option key
includes event's group name and event name.) This supports below
configs.
- ftrace.event.GROUP.EVENT.enable
Enables GROUP:EVENT tracing.
- ftrace.event.GROUP.EVENT.filter = FILTER
Set FILTER rule to the GROUP:EVENT.
- ftrace.event.GROUP.EVENT.actions = ACTION[, ACTION2...]
Set ACTIONs to the GROUP:EVENT.
For example,
ftrace.event.sched.sched_process_exec {
filter = "pid < 128"
enable
}
this will enable tracing "sched:sched_process_exec" event
with "pid < 128" filter.

Setup tracing options via extra boot config in addition to kernel
command line.
This adds following commands support. These are applied to
the global trace instance.
- ftrace.options = OPT1[,OPT2...]
Enable given ftrace options.
- ftrace.trace_clock = CLOCK
Set given CLOCK to ftrace's trace_clock.
- ftrace.buffer_size = SIZE
Configure ftrace buffer size to SIZE. You can use "KB" or "MB"
for that SIZE.
- ftrace.events = EVENT[, EVENT2...]
Enable given events on boot. You can use a wild card in EVENT.
- ftrace.tracer = TRACER
Set TRACER to current tracer on boot. (e.g. function)
Note that this is NOT replacing the kernel parameters, because
this boot config based setting is later than that. If you want to
trace earlier boot events, you still need kernel parameters.

Now that the pluging tracers use macros to create the structures and
automate the exporting of their formats to the format files, they also
automatically get a filter file.

The latency tracers (irqsoff and wakeup) can swap trace buffers
on the fly. If an event is happening and has reserved data on one of
the buffers, and the latency tracer swaps the global buffer with the
max buffer, the result is that the event may commit the data to the
wrong buffer.
This patch changes the API to the trace recording to be recieve the
buffer that was used to reserve a commit. Then this buffer can be passed
in to the commit.

The function tracing_reset is deprecated for outside use of trace.c.
The new function to reset the the buffers is tracing_reset_online_cpus.
The reason for this is that resetting the buffers while the event
trace points are active can corrupt the buffers, because they may
be writing at the time of reset. The tracing_reset_online_cpus disables
writes and waits for current writers to finish.
This patch replaces all users of tracing_reset except for the latency
tracers. Those changes require more work and will be removed in the
following patches.
