There currently isn't a max limit an event probe can be. One could make an
event greater than PAGE_SIZE, which makes the event useless because if
it's bigger than the max event that can be recorded into the ring buffer,
then it will never be recorded.
A event probe should never need to be greater than 3K, so make that the
max size. As long as the max is less than the max that can be recorded
onto the ring buffer, it should be fine.

parse_probe_arg() accepts quoted immediate strings and passes the body
after the opening quote to __parse_imm_string(). That helper currently
computes strlen(str) and immediately dereferences str[len - 1], which
underflows when the body is empty and not closed with double-quotation.
Reject empty non-closed immediate strings before checking for the closing quote.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.
Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.
So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.
The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'
to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.
Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.
For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix accounting of stop_count in file release
On opening the trace file, if "pause-on-trace" option is set, it will
increment the stop_count. On file release, it checks if stop_count is
set, and if so it decrements it. Since this code was originally
written, the stop_count can be incremented by other use cases. This
makes just checking the stop_count not enough to know if it should be
decremented.
Add a new iterator flag called "PAUSE" and have it set if the open
disables tracing and only decrement the stop_count if that flag is
set on close.
- Remove length field in trace_seq_printf() of print_synth_event()
When printing the synthetic event that has a static length array
field, the vsprintf() of the trace_seq_printf() triggered a
"(efault)" in the output. That's because the print_fmt replaced the
"%.*s" with "%s" causing the arguments to be off.

Since the shared trace_probe_log variable can be accessed and
modified via probe event create operation of kprobe_events,
uprobe_events, and dynamic_events, it should be protected.
In the dynamic_events, all operations are serialized by
`dyn_event_ops_mutex`. But kprobe_events and uprobe_events
interfaces are not serialized.
To solve this issue, introduces dyn_event_create(), which runs
create() operation under the mutex, for kprobe_events and
uprobe_events. This also uses lockdep to check the mutex is
held when using trace_probe_log* APIs.

As like '%pd' type, this patch supports print type '%pD' for print file's
name. For example "name=$arg1:%pD" casts the `$arg1` as (struct file*),
dereferences the "file.f_path.dentry.d_name.name" field and stores it to
"name" argument as a kernel string.
Here is an example:
[tracing]# echo 'p:testprobe vfs_read name=$arg1:%pD' > kprobe_event
[tracing]# echo 1 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# grep -q "1" events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# echo 0 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable
[tracing]# grep "vfs_read" trace | grep "enable"
grep-15108 [003] ..... 5228.328609: testprobe: (vfs_read+0x4/0xbb0) name="enable"
Note that this expects the given argument (e.g. $arg1) is an address of struct
file. User must ensure it.

During fault locating, the file name needs to be printed based on the

is troublesome. Similar to printk, kprobe support print type '%pd' for

it to "name" argument as a kernel string.

[tracing]# echo 'p:testprobe dput name=$arg1:%pd' > kprobe_events
[tracing]# echo 1 > events/kprobes/testprobe/enable

Avoid open-coding that simple expression each time by moving
BYTES_TO_BITS() from the probes code to <linux/bitops.h> to export
it to the rest of the kernel.
Simplify the macro while at it. `BITS_PER_LONG / sizeof(long)` always
equals to %BITS_PER_BYTE, regardless of the target architecture.
Do the same for the tools ecosystem as well (incl. its version of
bitops.h). The previous implementation had its implicit type of long,
while the new one is int, so adjust the format literal accordingly in
the perf code.
