 "Remove calltime and rettime from fgraph infrastructure

  The calltime and rettime were used by the function graph tracer to
  calculate the timings of functions where it traced their entry and
  exit. The calltime and rettime were stored in the generic structures
  that were used for the mechanisms to add an entry and exit callback.

  Now that function graph infrastructure is used by other subsystems
  than just the tracer, the calltime and rettime are not needed for
  them. Remove the calltime and rettime from the generic fgraph
  infrastructure and have the callers that require them handle them"

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers

   There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
   the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
   allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
   guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
   memory when the function exits.

 - Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too

   There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did
   the same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for
   both algorithms to use the same logic in one place.

 - Add poll to trace event hist files

   It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some
   filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the
   event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake
   up when an event is triggered. This will let the application know
   that the event it is waiting for happened.

 - Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules

   The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
   traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
   That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
   loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
   module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
   enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
   events do not have that feature.

   Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event,
   then either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or
   cache it so that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded.
   This also works from the kernel command line, where
   "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the module is loaded at boot up,
   its events will be enabled then.

66611c0475 fgraph: Remove calltime and rettime from generic operations
The function graph infrastructure is now generic so that kretprobes,
fprobes and BPF can use it. But there is still some leftover logic that
only the function graph tracer itself uses. This is the calculation of the
calltime and return time of the functions. The calculation of the calltime
has been moved into the function graph tracer and those users that need it
so that it doesn't cause overhead to the other users. But the return
function timestamp was still called.

Instead of just moving the taking of the timestamp into the function graph
trace remove the calltime and rettime completely from the ftrace_graph_ret
structure. Instead, move it into the function graph return entry event
structure and this also moves all the calltime and rettime logic out of
the generic fgraph.c code and into the tracing code that uses it.

This has been reported to decrease the overhead by ~27%.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure

   The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
   functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function.
   The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the
   function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to
   hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace
   when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be
   created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function
   graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has
   slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This
   is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such
   as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this
   method does not scale.

   The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
   kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started,
   every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that
   is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to
   allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be
   one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe
   methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new
   technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of
   hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only
   one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex.

 - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers

   There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
   the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
   allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
   guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
   memory when the function exits.

 - Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer

   When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
   interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable
   interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs
   and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the
   disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of
   interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This
   greatly improves its performance.

 - Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the
   kernel command line.

   The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
   traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
   That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
   loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
   module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
   enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
   events do not have that feature.

   Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
   (before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
   function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
   trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
   kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

Pull pid_max namespacing update from Christian Brauner:
 "The pid_max sysctl is a global value. For a long time the default
  value has been 65535 and during the pidfd dicussions Linus proposed to
  bump pid_max by default. Based on this discussion systemd started
  bumping pid_max to 2^22. So all new systems now run with a very high
  pid_max limit with some distros having also backported that change.

  The decision to bump pid_max is obviously correct. It just doesn't
  make a lot of sense nowadays to enforce such a low pid number. There's
  sufficient tooling to make selecting specific processes without typing
  really large pid numbers available.

  In any case, there are workloads that have expections about how large
  pid numbers they accept. Either for historical reasons or
  architectural reasons. One concreate example is the 32-bit version of
  Android's bionic libc which requires pid numbers less than 65536.
  There are workloads where it is run in a 32-bit container on a 64-bit
  kernel. If the host has a pid_max value greater than 65535 the libc
  will abort thread creation because of size assumptions of
  pthread_mutex_t.

  That's a fairly specific use-case however, in general specific
  workloads that are moved into containers running on a host with a new
  kernel and a new systemd can run into issues with large pid_max
  values. Obviously making assumptions about the size of the allocated
  pid is suboptimal but we have userspace that does it.

  Of course, giving containers the ability to restrict the number of
  processes in their respective pid namespace indepent of the global
  limit through pid_max is something desirable in itself and comes in
  handy in general.

  Independent of motivating use-cases the existence of pid namespaces
  makes this also a good semantical extension and there have been prior
  proposals pushing in a similar direction. The trick here is to
  minimize the risk of regressions which I think is doable. The fact
  that pid namespaces are hierarchical will help us here.

  What we mostly care about is that when the host sets a low pid_max
  limit, say (crazy number) 100 that no descendant pid namespace can
  allocate a higher pid number in its namespace. Since pid allocation is
  hierarchial this can be ensured by checking each pid allocation
  against the pid namespace's pid_max limit. This means if the
  allocation in the descendant pid namespace succeeds, the ancestor pid
  namespace can reject it. If the ancestor pid namespace has a higher
  limit than the descendant pid namespace the descendant pid namespace
  will reject the pid allocation. The ancestor pid namespace will
  obviously not care about this.

  All in all this means pid_max continues to enforce a system wide limit
  on the number of processes but allows pid namespaces sufficient leeway
  in handling workloads with assumptions about pid values and allows
  containers to restrict the number of processes in a pid namespace

31f505dc70 ftrace: Implement :mod: cache filtering on kernel command line
Module functions can be set to set_ftrace_filter before the module is
loaded.

  # echo :mod:snd_hda_intel > set_ftrace_filter

This will enable all the functions for the module snd_hda_intel. If that
module is not loaded, it is "cached" in the trace array for when the
module is loaded, its functions will be traced.

But this is not implemented in the kernel command line. That's because the
kernel command line filtering is added very early in boot up as it is
needed to be done before boot time function tracing can start, which is
also available very early in boot up. The code used by the
"set_ftrace_filter" file can not be used that early as it depends on some
other initialization to occur first. But some of the functions can.

Implement the ":mod:" feature of "set_ftrace_filter" in the kernel command
line parsing. Now function tracing on just a single module that is loaded
at boot up can be done.

Adding:

 ftrace=function ftrace_filter=:mod:sna_hda_intel

To the kernel command line will only enable the sna_hda_intel module
functions when the module is loaded, and it will start tracing.

b355247df1 tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yet
When the :mod: command is written into /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event (or
that file within an instance), if the module specified after the ":mod:"
is not yet loaded, it will store that string internally. When the module
is loaded, it will enable the events as if the module was loaded when the
string was written into the set_event file.

This can also be useful to enable events that are in the init section of
the module, as the events are enabled before the init section is executed.

This also works on the kernel command line:

 trace_event=:mod:<module>

Will enable the events for <module> when it is loaded.

More specifically, if HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is defined but

afd2627f72 tracing: Check "%s" dereference via the field and not the TP_printk format
The TP_printk() portion of a trace event is executed at the time a event
is read from the trace. This can happen seconds, minutes, hours, days,
months, years possibly later since the event was recorded. If the print
format contains a dereference to a string via "%s", and that string was
allocated, there's a chance that string could be freed before it is read
by the trace file.

To protect against such bugs, there are two functions that verify the
event. The first one is test_event_printk(), which is called when the
event is created. It reads the TP_printk() format as well as its arguments
to make sure nothing may be dereferencing a pointer that was not copied
into the ring buffer along with the event. If it is, it will trigger a
WARN_ON().

For strings that use "%s", it is not so easy. The string may not reside in
the ring buffer but may still be valid. Strings that are static and part
of the kernel proper which will not be freed for the life of the running
system, are safe to dereference. But to know if it is a pointer to a
static string or to something on the heap can not be determined until the
event is triggered.

This brings us to the second function that tests for the bad dereferencing
of strings, trace_check_vprintf(). It would walk through the printf format
looking for "%s", and when it finds it, it would validate that the pointer
is safe to read. If not, it would produces a WARN_ON() as well and write
into the ring buffer "[UNSAFE-MEMORY]".

The problem with this is how it used va_list to have vsnprintf() handle
all the cases that it didn't need to check. Instead of re-implementing
vsnprintf(), it would make a copy of the format up to the %s part, and
call vsnprintf() with the current va_list ap variable, where the ap would
then be ready to point at the string in question.

For architectures that passed va_list by reference this was possible. For
architectures that passed it by copy it was not. A test_can_verify()
function was used to differentiate between the two, and if it wasn't
possible, it would disable it.

Even for architectures where this was feasible, it was a stretch to rely
on such a method that is undocumented, and could cause issues later on
with new optimizations of the compiler.

Instead, the first function test_event_printk() was updated to look at
"%s" as well. If the "%s" argument is a pointer outside the event in the
ring buffer, it would find the field type of the event that is the problem
and mark the structure with a new flag called "needs_test". The event
itself will be marked by TRACE_EVENT_FL_TEST_STR to let it be known that
this event has a field that needs to be verified before the event can be
printed using the printf format.

When the event fields are created from the field type structure, the
fields would copy the field type's "needs_test" value.

Finally, before being printed, a new function ignore_event() is called
which will check if the event has the TEST_STR flag set (if not, it
returns false). If the flag is set, it then iterates through the events
fields looking for the ones that have the "needs_test" flag set.

Then it uses the offset field from the field structure to find the pointer
in the ring buffer event. It runs the tests to make sure that pointer is
safe to print and if not, it triggers the WARN_ON() and also adds to the
trace output that the event in question has an unsafe memory access.

The ignore_event() makes the trace_check_vprintf() obsolete so it is
removed.

06afb0f361 Merge tag 'trace-v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Addition of faultable tracepoints

   There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit.
   This location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are
   called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can
   sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault
   in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been
   made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space
   parameters and record them.

   Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers
   (perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow
   faults.

 - Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic

 - Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API

 - Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used

 - Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic

 - Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()

 - Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr()

 - Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled

 - Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with
   atomic64_inc_return(counter)

 - Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE

 - Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used

 - Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph
   tracer is also running.

   When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the
   parent function of the function tracer sometimes is
   "return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record
   the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the
   fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address.

 - Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure

 - Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack
   function filter.

     echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter

   Would cause a kernel NULL dereference.

 - Minor clean ups

6ce5a6f0a0 tracing: Fix function name for trampoline
The issue that unrelated function name is shown on stack trace like
following even though it should be trampoline code address is caused by
the creation of trampoline code in the area where .init.text section
of module was freed after module is loaded.

bash-1344    [002] .....    43.644608: <stack trace>
=> (MODULE INIT FUNCTION)
=> vfs_write
=> ksys_write
=> do_syscall_64
=> entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

To resolve this, when function address of stack trace entry is in
trampoline, output without looking up symbol name.

21e92806d3 function_graph: Support recording and printing the function return address
When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function
execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code
where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more
time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long.

This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address
of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs.

To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return
value, while '<-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to
make it look more like the function tracer.

A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the
existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return
address.

See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled.

3c9880f3ab ftrace: Use a running sleeptime instead of saving on shadow stack
The fgraph "sleep-time" option tells the function graph tracer and the
profiler whether to include the time a function "sleeps" (is scheduled off
the CPU) in its duration for the function. By default it is true, which
means the duration of a function is calculated by the timestamp of when the
function was entered to the timestamp of when it exits.

If the "sleep-time" option is disabled, it needs to remove the time that the
task was not running on the CPU during the function. Currently it is done in
a sched_switch tracepoint probe where it moves the "calltime" (time of entry
of the function) forward by the sleep time calculated. It updates all the
calltime in the shadow stack.

This is time consuming for those users of the function graph tracer that
does not care about the sleep time. Instead, add a "ftrace_sleeptime" to the
task_struct that gets the sleep time added each time the task wakes up. Then
have the function entry save the current "ftrace_sleeptime" and on function
exit, move the calltime forward by the difference of the current
"ftrace_sleeptime" from the saved sleeptime.

This removes one dependency of "calltime" needed to be on the shadow stack.
It also simplifies the code that removes the sleep time of functions.

TODO: Only enable the sched_switch tracepoint when this is needed.

ef2bd81d0c tracing: Add option to set an instance to be the trace_printk destination
Add a option "trace_printk_dest" that will make the tracing instance the
location that trace_printk() will go to. This is useful if the
trace_printk or one of the top level tracers is too noisy and there's a
need to separate the two. Then an instance can be created, the
trace_printk can be set to go there instead, where it will not be lost in
the noise of the top level tracer.

Note, only one instance can be the destination of trace_printk at a time.
If an instance sets this flag, the instance that had it set will have it
cleared. There is always one instance that has this set. By default, that
is the top instance. This flag cannot be cleared from the top instance.
Doing so will result in an -EINVAL. The only way this flag can be cleared
from the top instance is by another instance setting it.

9b7bdf6f6e tracing: Have trace_printk not use binary prints if boot buffer
If the persistent boot mapped ring buffer is used for trace_printk(),
force it to not use the binary versions. trace_printk() by default uses
bin_printf() that only saves the pointer to the format and not the format
itself inside the ring buffer. But for a persistent buffer that is read
after reboot, the pointers to the format strings may not be the same, or
worse, not even exist! Instead, just force the more robust, but slower,
version that does the formatting before saving into the ring buffer.

The boot mapped buffer can now be used for trace_printk and friends!

Using the trace_printk() and the persistent buffer was used to debug the
issue with the osnoise tracer:

b156040869 tracing: Have format file honor EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED
When eventfs was introduced, special care had to be done to coordinate the
freeing of the file meta data with the files that are exposed to user
space. The file meta data would have a ref count that is set when the file
is created and would be decremented and freed after the last user that
opened the file closed it. When the file meta data was to be freed, it
would set a flag (EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED) to denote that the file is freed,
and any new references made (like new opens or reads) would fail as it is
marked freed. This allowed other meta data to be freed after this flag was
set (under the event_mutex).

All the files that were dynamically created in the events directory had a
pointer to the file meta data and would call event_release() when the last
reference to the user space file was closed. This would be the time that it
is safe to free the file meta data.

A shortcut was made for the "format" file. It's i_private would point to
the "call" entry directly and not point to the file's meta data. This is
because all format files are the same for the same "call", so it was
thought there was no reason to differentiate them.  The other files
maintain state (like the "enable", "trigger", etc). But this meant if the
file were to disappear, the "format" file would be unaware of it.

This caused a race that could be trigger via the user_events test (that
would create dynamic events and free them), and running a loop that would
read the user_events format files:

In one console run:

 # cd tools/testing/selftests/user_events
 # while true; do ./ftrace_test; done

And in another console run:

 # cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
 # while true; do cat events/user_events/__test_event/format; done 2>/dev/null

With KASAN memory checking, it would trigger a use-after-free bug report
(which was a real bug). This was because the format file was not checking
the file's meta data flag "EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED", so it would access the
event that the file meta data pointed to after the event was freed.

After inspection, there are other locations that were found to not check
the EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag when accessing the trace_event_file. Add a
new helper function: event_file_file() that will make sure that the
event_mutex is held, and will return NULL if the trace_event_file has the
EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED flag set. Have the first reference of the struct file
pointer use event_file_file() and check for NULL. Later uses can still use
the event_file_data() helper function if the event_mutex is still held and
was not released since the event_file_file() call.

If an instance is mapped to memory on boot up, create a new file called

parse the raw data in the ring buffer.

It will export the delta of the addresses for text and data from what it
was from the last boot. It does not expose actually addresses (unless you
knew what the actual address was from the last boot).

The output will look like:

 # cat last_boot_info
 text delta:	-268435456
 data delta:	-268435456

The text and data are kept separate in case they are ever made different.

2124de79ad tracing: Implement creating an instance based on a given memory region

This will allow features like a pstore memory mapped region to be used for
an tracing instance ring buffer that can be retrieved from one boot to the
next.
