strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.
This read may exceed the destination size limit.
This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read
overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].
In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace
strlcpy() here with strscpy().
No return values were used, so direct replacement with strlcpy is safe.

The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called
"stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and
use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such
as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that,
convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older
kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like
"common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as
"common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the
event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace".
Also update the documentation to reflect this change.

After commit 3087c61ed2 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN"),
the content of the format file under
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask was changed from
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
to
field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
John reported that this change breaks older versions of perfetto.
Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the
use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum
labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it:
:One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend
:struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length
:of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified
:form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs.
The result as follows after this change,
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;

There's been several times where an event records a function address in
its field and I needed to filter on that address for a specific function
name. It required looking up the function in kallsyms, finding its size,
and doing a compare of "field >= function_start && field < function_end".
But this would change from boot to boot and is unreliable in scripts.
Also, it is useful to have this at boot up, where the addresses will not
be known. For example, on the boot command line:
trace_trigger="initcall_finish.traceoff if func.function == acpi_init"
To implement this, add a ".function" prefix, that will check that the
field is of size long, and the only operations allowed (so far) are "=="
and "!=".

Allow triggers to be enabled at kernel boot up. For example:
trace_trigger="sched_switch.stacktrace if prev_state == 2"
The above will enable the stacktrace trigger on top of the sched_switch
event and only trigger if its prev_state is 2 (TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE). Then
at boot up, a stacktrace will trigger and be recorded in the tracing ring
buffer every time the sched_switch happens where the previous state is
TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE.
Another useful trigger would be "traceoff" which can stop tracing on an
event if a field of the event matches a certain value defined by the
filter ("if" statement).

After 65536 dynamic events have been added and removed, the "type" field
of the event then uses the first type number that is available (not
currently used by other events). A type number is the identifier of the
binary blobs in the tracing ring buffer (known as events) to map them to
logic that can parse the binary blob.
The issue is that if a dynamic event (like a kprobe event) is traced and
is in the ring buffer, and then that event is removed (because it is
dynamic, which means it can be created and destroyed), if another dynamic
event is created that has the same number that new event's logic on
parsing the binary blob will be used.
To show how this can be an issue, the following can crash the kernel:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# for i in `seq 65536`; do
echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 $arg1:u32' > kprobe_events
# done
For every iteration of the above, the writing to the kprobe_events will
remove the old event and create a new one (with the same format) and
increase the type number to the next available on until the type number
reaches over 65535 which is the max number for the 16 bit type. After it
reaches that number, the logic to allocate a new number simply looks for
the next available number. When an dynamic event is removed, that number
is then available to be reused by the next dynamic event created. That is,
once the above reaches the max number, the number assigned to the event in
that loop will remain the same.
Now that means deleting one dynamic event and created another will reuse
the previous events type number. This is where bad things can happen.
After the above loop finishes, the kprobes/foo event which reads the
do_sys_openat2 function call's first parameter as an integer.
# echo 1 > kprobes/foo/enable
# cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
# cat trace
cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849603: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196
cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849620: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196
cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849838: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196

# echo 0 > kprobes/foo/enable
Now if we delete the kprobe and create a new one that reads a string:
# echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 +0($arg2):string' > kprobe_events
And now we can the trace:
# cat trace

This was found when Zheng Yejian sent a patch to convert the event type
number assignment to use IDA, which gives the next available number, and
this bug showed up in the fuzz testing by Yujie Liu and the kernel test
robot. But after further analysis, I found that this behavior is the same
as when the event type numbers go past the 16bit max (and the above shows
that).
As modules have a similar issue, but is dealt with by setting a
"WAS_ENABLED" flag when a module event is enabled, and when the module is
freed, if any of its events were enabled, the ring buffer that holds that
event is also cleared, to prevent reading stale events. The same can be
done for dynamic events.
If any dynamic event that is being removed was enabled, then make sure the
buffers they were enabled in are now cleared.

Currently the tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() requires the
trace_types_lock held. But only one caller of this function actually has
that lock held before calling it, and the other just takes the lock so
that it can call it. More users of this function is needed where the lock
is not held.
Add a tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function for the one use
case that calls it without being held, and also add a lockdep_assert to
make sure it is held when called.
Then have tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() take the lock internally, such
that callers do not need to worry about taking it.

The print fmt check against trace events to make sure that the format does
not use pointers that may be freed from the time of the trace to the time
the event is read, gives a false positive on %pISpc when reading data that
was saved in __get_dynamic_array() when it is perfectly fine to do so, as
the data being read is on the ring buffer.

Commit fa2c3254d7 (sched/tracing: Don't re-read p->state when emitting
sched_switch event, 2022-01-20) added a new prev_state argument to the
sched_switch tracepoint, before the prev task_struct pointer.
This reordering of arguments broke BPF programs that use the raw
tracepoint (e.g. tp_btf programs). The type of the second argument has
changed and existing programs that assume a task_struct* argument
(e.g. for bpf_task_storage access) will now fail to verify.
If we instead append the new argument to the end, all existing programs
would continue to work and can conditionally extract the prev_state
argument on supported kernel versions.

When list_for_each_entry() completes the iteration over the whole list
without breaking the loop, the iterator value will be a bogus pointer
computed based on the head element.
While it is safe to use the pointer to determine if it was computed
based on the head element, either with list_entry_is_head() or
&pos->member == head, using the iterator variable after the loop should
be avoided.
In preparation to limit the scope of a list iterator to the list
traversal loop, use a dedicated pointer to point to the found element [1].

- New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the kernel
describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a byte in a page
mapping that it can check against. A privileged task can then enable that
event like any other event, which will change the mapped byte to true,
telling the user space application to start writing the event to the
tracing buffer.
- Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When set,
the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot up when
the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep the traces that
happened at boot up available even if user space boot up has tracing as
well.
- Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type descriptions.
Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum, the user space trace
event parsers can still know how to parse that array.
- Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This will
make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not be stuck at
only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.
- Fixes to tracing error logging.

When an enum is used in the visible parts of a trace event that is
exported to user space, the user space applications like perf and
trace-cmd do not have a way to know what the value of the enum is. To
solve this, at boot up (or module load) the printk formats are modified to
replace the enum with their numeric value in the string output.
Array fields of the event are defined by [<nr-elements>] in the type
portion of the format file so that the user space parsers can correctly
parse the array into the appropriate size chunks. But in some trace
events, an enum is used in defining the size of the array, which once
again breaks the parsing of user space tooling.
This was solved the same way as the print formats were, but it modified
the type strings of the trace event. This caused crashes in some
architectures because, as supposed to the print string, is a const string
value. This was not detected on x86, as it appears that const strings are
still writable (at least in boot up), but other architectures this is not
the case, and writing to a const string will cause a kernel fault.
To fix this, use kstrdup() to copy the type before modifying it. If the
trace event is for the core kernel there's no need to free it because the
string will be in use for the life of the machine being on line. For
modules, create a link list to store all the strings being allocated for
modules and when the module is removed, free them.

event format file.
Currently only the enums in the "print fmt" (TP_printk in the TRACE_EVENT
macro) have the enums converted. But the enums can be used to denote array
size:
field:unsigned int fc_ineligible_rc[EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX]; offset:12; size:36; signed:0;
The EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX has no meaning to userspace but it needs to know
that information to know how to parse the array.
Have the array indexes also be parsed as well.

Allow custom events to be added to the events directory in the tracefs

would use trace_add_event_call() to add the event to the tracefs

Make both those functions EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

TASK_WAKING isn't in TASK_REPORT, so the task appears as TASK_RUNNING in

A helper macro was added to make reading socket addresses easier in trace

address from the ring buffer into a human readable format.
The boot up check that makes sure that trace events do not reference
pointers to memory that can later be freed when the trace event is read,
incorrectly flagged this as a delayed reference. Update the check to
handle "__get_sockaddr" and not report an error on it.

When building the files in the tracefs file system, do not by default set
any permissions for OTH (other). This will make it easier for admins who
want to define a group for accessing tracefs and not having to first
disable all the permission bits for "other" in the file system.
As tracing can leak sensitive information, it should never by default
allowing all users access. An admin can still set the permission bits for
others to have access, which may be useful for creating a honeypot and
seeing who takes advantage of it and roots the machine.

Instead of having the logic that does trace_pid_list open coded, wrap it in
abstract functions. This will allow a rewrite of the logic that implements
the trace_pid_list without affecting the users.
Note, this causes a change in behavior. Every time a pid is written into
the set_*_pid file, it creates a new list and uses RCU to update it. If
pid_max is lowered, but there was a pid currently in the list that was
higher than pid_max, those pids will now be removed on updating the list.
The old behavior kept that from happening.
The rewrite of the pid_list logic will no longer depend on pid_max,
and will return the old behavior.

migrate_disable() forbids task migration to another CPU. It is available
since v5.11 and has already users such as highmem or BPF. It is useful
to observe this task state in tracing which already has other states
like the preemption counter.
Instead of adding the migrate disable counter as a new entry to struct
trace_entry, which would extend the whole struct by four bytes, it is
squashed into the preempt-disable counter. The lower four bits represent
the preemption counter, the upper four bits represent the migrate
disable counter. Both counter shouldn't exceed 15 but if they do, there
is a safety net which caps the value at 15.
Add the migrate-disable counter to the trace entry so it shows up in the
trace. Due to the users mentioned above, it is already possible to
observe it:
| bash-1108 [000] ...21 73.950578: rss_stat: mm_id=2213312838 curr=0 type=MM_ANONPAGES size=8192B
| bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: irq_disable: caller=flush_tlb_mm_range+0x115/0x130 parent=ptep_clear_flush+0x42/0x50
| bash-1108 [000] d..31 73.951222: tlb_flush: pages:1 reason:local mm shootdown (3)
The last value is the migrate-disable counter.
Things that popped up:
- trace_print_lat_context() does not print the migrate counter. Not sure
if it should. It is used in "verbose" mode and uses 8 digits and I'm
not sure ther is something processing the value.
- trace_define_common_fields() now defines a different variable. This
probably breaks things. No ide what to do in order to preserve the old
behaviour. Since this is used as a filter it should be split somehow
to be able to match both nibbles here.

As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to
one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep
the dynamic event from going away.
Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure,
make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for
each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the
DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.

Trace events record data into the ring buffer at the time of the event. The
trace event has a printf logic to display the recorded data at a much later
time when the user reads the trace file. This makes using dereferencing
pointers unsafe if the dereferenced pointer points to the original source.
The safe way to handle this is to create an array within the trace event and
copy the source into the array. Then the dereference pointer may point to
that array.
As this is a easy mistake to make, a check is added to examine all trace
event print fmts to make sure that they are safe to use. This only checks
the various %p* dereferenced pointers like %pB, %pR, etc. It does not handle
dereferencing of strings, as there are some use cases that are OK to
dereference the source. That will be dealt with differently.

The ftrace event subsystem is only created for showing the format files of
events created by the ftrace tracers, and are not trace events. The ftrace
subsystem currently has both the "enable" and "filter" files that in other
subsystems are used to enable/disable all events within the subsystem or set
a filter for all the subsystem events.
As ftrace subsystem events do not use enable or filter operations, these
files are useless in the ftrace subsystem. Remove them.

The file /sys/kernel/tracing/events/enable is used to enable all events by
echoing in "1", or disabling all events when echoing in "0". To know if all
events are enabled, disabled, or some are enabled but not all of them,
cating the file should show either "1" (all enabled), "0" (all disabled), or
"X" (some enabled but not all of them). This works the same as the "enable"
files in the individule system directories (like tracing/events/sched/enable).
But when all events are enabled, the top level "enable" file shows "X". The
reason is that its checking the "ftrace" events, which are special events
that only exist for their format files. These include the format for the
function tracer events, that are enabled when the function tracer is
enabled, but not by the "enable" file. The check includes these events,
which will always be disabled, and even though all true events are enabled,
the top level "enable" file will show "X" instead of "1".
To fix this, have the check test the event's flags to see if it has the
"IGNORE_ENABLE" flag set, and if so, not test it.

The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.
The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).
The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.
Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.
This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.
As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
-> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
-> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config option called:
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. Currently, only x86_64 enables it.
All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct
pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then
the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the
function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if
a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it
can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough
information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception
(needed for kprobes).
New config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at
most every event recorded. The "check_buffer()" calls will conflict with
mainline, because I purposely added the check without including the fix that
it caught, which is in mainline. Running a kernel built from the commit of
the added check will trigger it.
Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to
the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
callbacks).
Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do
it for it (saving on that extra function call).
New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all
the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer.
This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the
function tracer.
The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work
queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.
Various clean ups and last minute fixes.

On architectures using the generic syscall entry code the architecture
independent syscall work is moved to flags in thread_info::syscall_work.
This removes architecture dependencies and frees up TIF bits.
Define SYSCALL_WORK_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT, use it in the generic entry code
and convert the code which uses the TIF specific helper functions to use
the new *_syscall_work() helpers which either resolve to the new mode for
users of the generic entry code or to the TIF based functions for the other
architectures.

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.

As is; NOTIFY_DONE vs NOTIFY_OK is a bit vague; but
notifier_from_errno(0) results in NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_DONE has a

On exit, if a process is preempted after the trace_sched_process_exit()
tracepoint but before the process is done exiting, then when it gets
scheduled in, the function tracers will not filter it properly against the
function tracing pid filters.
That is because the function tracing pid filters hooks to the
sched_process_exit() tracepoint to remove the exiting task's pid from the
filter list. Because the filtering happens at the sched_switch tracepoint,
when the exiting task schedules back in to finish up the exit, it will no
longer be in the function pid filtering tables.
This was noticeable in the notrace self tests on a preemptable kernel, as
the tests would fail as it exits and preempted after being taken off the
notrace filter table and on scheduling back in it would not be in the
notrace list, and then the ending of the exit function would trace. The test
detected this and would fail.

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion.
The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither
of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be
renamed as:
perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer
ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer
This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.
As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

We have been trying to use rasdaemon to monitor hardware errors like
correctable memory errors. rasdaemon uses trace events to monitor
various hardware errors. In order to test it, we have to inject some
hardware errors, unfortunately not all of them provide error
injections. MCE does provide a way to inject MCE errors, but errors
like PCI error and devlink error don't, it is not easy to add error
injection to each of them. Instead, it is relatively easier to just
allow users to inject trace events in a generic way so that all trace
events can be injected.
This patch introduces trace event injection, where a new 'inject' is
added to each tracepoint directory. Users could write into this file
with key=value pairs to specify the value of each fields of the trace
event, all unspecified fields are set to zero values by default.
For example, for the net/net_dev_queue tracepoint, we can inject:
INJECT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/inject
echo "" > $INJECT
echo "name='test'" > $INJECT
echo "name='test' len=1024" > $INJECT
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Triggers could be triggered as usual too:
echo "stacktrace if len == 1025" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/trigger
echo "len=1025" > $INJECT
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

The only thing that can't be injected is string pointers as they
require constant string pointers, this can't be done at run time.

Rework event_create_dir() to use an array of static data instead of
function pointers where possible.
The problem is that it would call the function pointer on module load
before parse_args(), possibly even before jump_labels were initialized.
Luckily the generated functions don't use jump_labels but it still seems
fragile. It also gets in the way of changing when we make the module map
executable.
The generated function are basically calling trace_define_field() with a
bunch of static arguments. So instead of a function, capture these
arguments in a static array, avoiding the function call.
Now there are a number of cases where the fields are dynamic (syscall
arguments, kprobes and uprobes), in which case a static array does not
work, for these we preserve the function call. Luckily all these cases
are not related to modules and so we can retain the function call for
them.
Also fix up all broken tracepoint definitions that now generate a
compile error.

Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is
set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when
tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring
buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from
crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on
boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is
disabled until reboot.
As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs
directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array
associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is
freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array,
then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there
could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is
found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and
the trace_array associated with it freed).
Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a
single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to
tracefs later.

The trace event self tests enable loop through *all* events, enables each
one, one at a time, runs some code to trigger various events (not
necessarily the same events), and checks if anything went wrong. The issue
is that trace events are usually the least likely start up test to cause a
problem, but they take the longest to run (because there are so many
events). When one of the other tests trigger a bug, the trace event start up
tests causes the bisect to take much longer, because it takes 10s of seconds
to get through the trace event tests.
By making them a separate config (even though they are enabled by default if
start up tests are set), it is possible to turn them off and still run the
other tracing start up tests much quicker.

When reading only part of the id file, the ppos isn't tracked correctly.
This is taken care by simple_read_from_buffer.

commit cd458ba9d5

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
if (argc < 2)
return 1;
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
char c;
read(fd, &c, 1);
printf("First %c\n", c);
read(fd, &c, 1);
printf("Second %c\n", c);
}
Then run with, e.g.
sudo ./a.out /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_set_state/id
You'll notice you're getting the first character twice, instead of the
first two characters in the id file.

synthetic event is using synth_event_mutex for protecting

locks as below order.
event_trigger_write(event_mutex)
->trigger_process_regex(trigger_cmd_mutex)
->event_hist_trigger_func(synth_event_mutex)
On the other hand, synthetic event creation and deletion paths
call trace_add_event_call() and trace_remove_event_call()
which acquires event_mutex. In that case, if we keep the
synth_event_mutex locked while registering/unregistering synthetic
events, its dependency will be inversed.
To avoid this issue, current synthetic event is using a 2 phase
process to create/delete events. For example, it searches existing
events under synth_event_mutex to check for event-name conflicts, and
unlocks synth_event_mutex, then registers a new event under event_mutex
locked. Finally, it locks synth_event_mutex and tries to add the
new event to the list. But it can introduce complexity and a chance
for name conflicts.
To solve this simpler, this introduces trace_add_event_call_nolock()
and trace_remove_event_call_nolock() which don't acquire
event_mutex inside. synthetic event can lock event_mutex before
synth_event_mutex to solve the lock dependency issue simpler.

Since enums do not get converted by the TRACE_EVENT macro into their values,
the event format displaces the enum name and not the value. This breaks
tools like perf and trace-cmd that need to interpret the raw binary data. To
solve this, an enum map was created to convert these enums into their actual
numbers on boot up. This is done by TRACE_EVENTS() adding a
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro.
Some enums were not being converted. This was caused by an optization that
had a bug in it.
All calls get checked against this enum map to see if it should be converted
or not, and it compares the call's system to the system that the enum map
was created under. If they match, then they call is processed.
To cut down on the number of iterations needed to find the maps with a
matching system, since calls and maps are grouped by system, when a match is
made, the index into the map array is saved, so that the next call, if it
belongs to the same system as the previous call, could start right at that
array index and not have to scan all the previous arrays.
The problem was, the saved index was used as the variable to know if this is
a call in a new system or not. If the index was zero, it was assumed that
the call is in a new system and would keep incrementing the saved index
until it found a matching system. The issue arises when the first matching
system was at index zero. The next map, if it belonged to the same system,
would then think it was the first match and increment the index to one. If
the next call belong to the same system, it would begin its search of the
maps off by one, and miss the first enum that should be converted. This left
a single enum not converted properly.
Also add a comment to describe exactly what that index was for. It took me a
bit too long to figure out what I was thinking when debugging this issue.

When disabling one trace event, the RECORDED_TGID flag in the event
file is not correctly cleared. It's clearing RECORDED_CMD flag when
it should clear RECORDED_TGID flag.

Currently, when a module event is enabled, when that module is removed, it
clears all ring buffers. This is to prevent another module from being loaded
and having one of its trace event IDs from reusing a trace event ID of the
removed module. This could cause undesirable effects as the trace event of
the new module would be using its own processing algorithms to process raw
data of another event. To prevent this, when a module is loaded, if any of
its events have been used (signified by the WAS_ENABLED event call flag,
which is never cleared), all ring buffers are cleared, just in case any one
of them contains event data of the removed event.
The problem is, there's no reason to clear all ring buffers if only one (or
less than all of them) uses one of the events. Instead, only clear the ring
buffers that recorded the events of a module that is being removed.
To do this, instead of keeping the WAS_ENABLED flag with the trace event
call, move it to the per instance (per ring buffer) event file descriptor.
The event file descriptor maps each event to a separate ring buffer
instance. Then when the module is removed, only the ring buffers that
activated one of the module's events get cleared. The rest are not touched.

Inorder to support recording of tgid, the following changes are made:
* Introduce a new API (tracing_record_taskinfo) to additionally record the tgid
along with the task's comm at the same time. This has has the benefit of not
setting trace_cmdline_save before all the information for a task is saved.
* Add a new API tracing_record_taskinfo_sched_switch to record task information
for 2 tasks at a time (previous and next) and use it from sched_switch probe.
* Preserve the old API (tracing_record_cmdline) and create it as a wrapper
around the new one so that existing callers aren't affected.
* Reuse the existing sched_switch and sched_wakeup probes to record tgid
information and add a new option 'record-tgid' to enable recording of tgid
When record-tgid option isn't enabled to being with, we take care to make sure
that there's isn't memory or runtime overhead.

The enum_replace stanza works as is for sizeof()

With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes
(triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe
callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes
still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for
instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the
top array.
That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an
instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but
this change sets the ground work for the change.
When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into
set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in
init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching
function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init()
function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to
a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first
occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then
initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the
probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place
holder data that it was initialized to the last time.
Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions,
where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free()
function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function
that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no
more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be
freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the
place holder if it was allocade during the first init call.
