The function get_vm_area() is not defined for non-MMU builds and causes a
build error if it is used. Hide the map_pages() function around a:
#ifdef CONFIG_MMU
to keep it from being compiled when CONFIG_MMU is not set.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Persistent buffer cleanups and simplifications.
It was mistaken that the physical memory returned from "reserve_mem"
had to be vmap()'d to get to it from a virtual address. But
reserve_mem already maps the memory to the virtual address of the
kernel so a simple phys_to_virt() can be used to get to the virtual
address from the physical memory returned by "reserve_mem". With this
new found knowledge, the code can be cleaned up and simplified.
- Enforce that the persistent memory is page aligned
As the buffers using the persistent memory are all going to be
mapped via pages, make sure that the memory given to the tracing
infrastructure is page aligned. If it is not, it will print a
warning and fail to map the buffer.
- Use phys_to_virt() to get the virtual address from reserve_mem
Instead of calling vmap() on the physical memory returned from
"reserve_mem", use phys_to_virt() instead.
As the memory returned by "memmap" or any other means where a
physical address is given to the tracing infrastructure, it still
needs to be vmap(). Since this memory can never be returned back to
the buddy allocator nor should it ever be memmory mapped to user
space, flag this buffer and up the ref count. The ref count will
keep it from ever being freed, and the flag will prevent it from
ever being memory mapped to user space.
- Use vmap_page_range() for memmap virtual address mapping
For the memmap buffer, instead of allocating an array of struct
pages, assigning them to the contiguous phsycial memory and then
passing that to vmap(), use vmap_page_range() instead
- Replace flush_dcache_folio() with flush_kernel_vmap_range()
Instead of calling virt_to_folio() and passing that to
flush_dcache_folio(), just call flush_kernel_vmap_range() directly.
This also fixes a bug where if a subbuffer was bigger than
PAGE_SIZE only the PAGE_SIZE portion would be flushed"

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix build error when CONFIG_PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS is not enabled
The tracing of arguments in the function tracer depends on some
functions that are only defined when PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS is
enabled. In fact, PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS also depends on all the same
configs as the function argument tracing requires. Just have the
function argument tracing depend on PROBE_EVENTS_BTF_ARGS.
- Free module_delta for persistent ring buffer instance
When an instance holds the persistent ring buffer, it allocates a
helper array to hold the deltas between where modules are loaded on
the last boot and the current boot. This array needs to be freed when
the instance is freed.
- Add cond_resched() to loop in ftrace_graph_set_hash()
The hash functions in ftrace loop over every function that can be
enabled by ftrace. This can be 50,000 functions or more. This loop is
known to trigger soft lockup warnings and requires a cond_resched().
The loop in ftrace_graph_set_hash() was missing it.
- Fix the event format verifier to include "%*p.." arguments
To prevent events from dereferencing stale pointers that can happen
if a trace event uses a dereferece pointer to something that was not
copied into the ring buffer and can be freed by the time the trace is
read, a verifier is called. At boot or module load, the verifier
scans the print format string for pointers that can be dereferenced
and it checks the arguments to make sure they do not contain
something that can be freed. The "%*p" was not handled, which would
add another argument and cause the verifier to not only not verify
this pointer, but it will look at the wrong argument for every
pointer after that.
- Fix mcount sorttable building for different endian type target
When modifying the ELF file to sort the mcount_loc table in the
sorttable.c code, the endianess of the file and the host is used to
determine if the bytes need to be swapped when calculations are done.
A change was made to the sorting of the mcount_loc that read the
values from the ELF file into an array and the swap happened on the
filling of the array. But one of the calculations of the array still
did the swap when it did not need to. This caused building on a
little endian machine for a big endian target to not find the mcount
function in the 'nm' table and it zeroed it out, causing there to be
no functions available to trace.
- Add goto out_unlock jump to rv_register_monitor() on error path
One of the error paths in rv_register_monitor() just returned the
error when it should have jumped to the out_unlock label to release
the mutex.

The code to map the physical memory retrieved by memmap currently
allocates an array of pages to cover the physical memory and then calls
vmap() to map it to a virtual address. Instead of using this temporary
array of struct page descriptors, simply use vmap_page_range() that can
directly map the contiguous physical memory to a virtual address.

The reserve_mem kernel command line option may pass back a physical
address, but the memory is still part of the normal memory just like
using memblock_alloc() would be. This means that the physical memory
returned by the reserve_mem command line option can be converted directly
to virtual memory by simply using phys_to_virt().
When freeing the buffer there's no need to call vunmap() anymore as the
memory allocated by reserve_mem is freed by the call to
reserve_mem_release_by_name().
Because the persistent ring buffer can also be allocated via the memmap
option, which *is* different than normal memory as it cannot be added back
to the buddy system, it must be treated differently. It still needs to be
virtually mapped to have access to it. It also can not be freed nor can it
ever be memory mapped to user space.
Create a new trace_array flag called TRACE_ARRAY_FL_MEMMAP which gets set
if the buffer is created by the memmap option, and this will prevent the
buffer from being memory mapped by user space.
Also increment the ref count for memmap'ed buffers so that they can never
be freed.

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Restructure the persistent memory to have a "scratch" area
Instead of hard coding the KASLR offset in the persistent memory by
the ring buffer, push that work up to the callers of the persistent
memory as they are the ones that need this information. The offsets
and such is not important to the ring buffer logic and it should not
be part of that.
A scratch pad is now created when the caller allocates a ring buffer
from persistent memory by stating how much memory it needs to save.
- Allow where modules are loaded to be saved in the new scratch pad
Save the addresses of modules when they are loaded into the
persistent memory scratch pad.
- A new module_for_each_mod() helper function was created
With the acknowledgement of the module maintainers a new module
helper function was created to iterate over all the currently loaded
modules. This has a callback to be called for each module. This is
needed for when tracing is started in the persistent buffer and the
currently loaded modules need to be saved in the scratch area.
- Expose the last boot information where the kernel and modules were
loaded
The last_boot_info file is updated to print out the addresses of
where the kernel "_text" location was loaded from a previous boot, as
well as where the modules are loaded. If the buffer is recording the
current boot, it only prints "# Current" so that it does not expose
the KASLR offset of the currently running kernel.
- Allow the persistent ring buffer to be released (freed)
To have this in production environments, where the kernel command
line can not be changed easily, the ring buffer needs to be freed
when it is not going to be used. The memory for the buffer will
always be allocated at boot up, but if the system isn't going to
enable tracing, the memory needs to be freed. Allow it to be freed
and added back to the kernel memory pool.
- Allow stack traces to print the function names in the persistent
buffer
Now that the modules are saved in the persistent ring buffer, if the
same modules are loaded, the printing of the function names will
examine the saved modules. If the module is found in the scratch area
and is also loaded, then it will do the offset shift and use kallsyms
to display the function name. If the address is not found, it simply
displays the address from the previous boot in hex.

In allocate_trace_buffer() the following code:
buf->buffer = ring_buffer_alloc_range(size, rb_flags, 0,
tr->range_addr_start,
tr->range_addr_size,
struct_size(tscratch, entries, 128));
tscratch = ring_buffer_meta_scratch(buf->buffer, &scratch_size);
setup_trace_scratch(tr, tscratch, scratch_size);
Has undefined behavior if ring_buffer_alloc_range() fails because
"scratch_size" is not initialize. If the allocation fails, then
buf->buffer will be NULL. The ring_buffer_meta_scratch() will return
NULL immediately if it is passed a NULL buffer and it will not update
scratch_size. Then setup_trace_scratch() will return immediately if
tscratch is NULL.
Although there's no real issue here, but it is considered undefined
behavior to pass an uninitialized variable to a function as input, and
UBSan may complain about it.
Just initialize scratch_size to zero to make the code defined behavior and
a little more robust.

Make the ring buffer on reserved memory to be freeable. This allows us
to free the trace instance on the reserved memory without changing
cmdline and rebooting. Even if we can not change the kernel cmdline
for security reason, we can release the reserved memory for the ring
buffer as free (available) memory.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add option traceoff_after_boot
In order to debug kernel boot, it sometimes is helpful to enable
tracing via the kernel command line. Unfortunately, by the time the
login prompt appears, the trace is overwritten by the init process
and other user space start up applications.
Adding a "traceoff_after_boot" will disable tracing when the kernel
passes control to init which will allow developers to be able to see
the traces that occurred during boot.
- Clean up the mmflags macros that display the GFP flags in trace
events
The macros to print the GFP flags for trace events had a bit of
duplication. The code was restructured to remove duplication and in
the process it also adds some flags that were missed before.
- Removed some dead code and scripts/draw_functrace.py
draw_functrace.py hasn't worked in years and as nobody complained
about it, remove it.
- Constify struct event_trigger_ops
The event_trigger_ops is just a structure that has function pointers
that are assigned when the variables are created. These variables
should all be constants.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Record function parameters for function and function graph tracers
An option has been added to function tracer (func-args) and the
function graph tracer (funcgraph-args) that when set, the tracers
will record the registers that hold the arguments into each function
event. On reading of the trace, it will use BTF to print those
arguments. Most archs support up to 6 arguments (depending on the
complexity of the arguments) and those are printed.
If a function has more arguments then what was recorded, the output
will end with " ... )".
Example of function graph tracer:
6) | dummy_xmit [dummy](skb = 0x8887c100, dev = 0x872ca000) {
6) | consume_skb(skb = 0x8887c100) {
6) | skb_release_head_state(skb = 0x8887c100) {
6) 0.178 us | sock_wfree(skb = 0x8887c100)
6) 0.627 us | }
- The rest of the changes are minor clean ups and fixes

Sometimes tracing is used to debug issues during the boot process. Since
the trace buffer has a limited amount of storage, it may be prudent to
disable tracing after the boot is finished, otherwise the critical
information may be overwritten. With this option, the main tracing buffer
will be turned off at the end of the boot process.

The reason was that the code that maps the ring buffer pages to user space
has:
page = virt_to_page((void *)cpu_buffer->subbuf_ids[s]);
And uses that in:
vm_insert_pages(vma, vma->vm_start, pages, &nr_pages);
But virt_to_page() does not work with vmap()'d memory which is what the
persistent ring buffer has. It is rather trivial to allow this, but for
now just disable mmap() of instances that have their ring buffer from the
reserve_mem option.
If an mmap() is performed on a persistent buffer it will return -ENODEV
just like it would if the .mmap field wasn't defined in the
file_operations structure.

Currently if __tracing_resize_ring_buffer() returns an error, the
tracing_resize_ringbuffer() returns -ENOMEM. But it may not be a memory
issue that caused the function to fail. If the ring buffer is memory
mapped, then the resizing of the ring buffer will be disabled. But if the
user tries to resize the buffer, it will get an -ENOMEM returned, which is
confusing because there is plenty of memory. The actual error returned was
-EBUSY, which would make much more sense to the user.

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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
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.

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.

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.

Add a :mod: command to enable only events from a given module from the
set_events file.
echo '*:mod:<module>' > set_events
Or
echo ':mod:<module>' > set_events
Will enable all events for that module. Specific events can also be
enabled via:
echo '<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events
Or
echo '<system>:<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events
Or
echo '*:<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events
The ":mod:" keyword is consistent with the function tracing filter to

When the function tracing_set_tracer() switched over to using the guard()
infrastructure, it did not need to save the 'ret' variable and would just
return the value when an error arised, instead of setting ret and jumping
to an out label.
When CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT is enabled, it had code that expected the
"ret" variable to be initialized to zero and had set 'ret' while holding
an arch_spin_lock() (not used by guard), and then upon releasing the lock
it would check 'ret' and exit if set. But because ret was only set when an
error occurred while holding the locks, 'ret' would be used uninitialized
if there was no error. The code in the CONFIG_TRACER_SNAPSHOT block should
be self contain. Make sure 'ret' is also set when no error occurred.

There are several functions in trace.c that have "goto out;" or
equivalent on error in order to release locks or free values that were
allocated. This can be error prone or just simply make the code more
complex.
Switch every location that ends with unlocking a mutex or freeing on error
over to using the guard(mutex)() and __free() infrastructure to let the
compiler worry about releasing locks. This makes the code easier to read
and understand.
There's one place that should probably return an error but instead return
0. This does not change the return as the only changes are to do the
conversion without changing the logic. Fixing that location will have to
come later.

If the mmap() to the ring buffer passes in a start address that is

Add a check to make sure the start address is within the bounds
- Do not use TP_printk() to boot mapped ring buffers

previous boot's memory map, it is unsafe to allow the TP_printk() to
be used to read the boot mapped buffer's events. If a TP_printk()
points to a static string from within the kernel it will not match
the current kernel mapping if KASLR is active, and it can fault.
Have it simply print out the raw fields.

trace/ring-buffer: Do not use TP_printk() formatting for boot mapped buffers
ring-buffer: Fix overflow in __rb_map_vma
|
|
The TP_printk() of a TRACE_EVENT() is a generic printf format that any
developer can create for their event. It may include pointers to strings
and such. A boot mapped buffer may contain data from a previous kernel
where the strings addresses are different.
One solution is to copy the event content and update the pointers by the
recorded delta, but a simpler solution (for now) is to just use the
print_fields() function to print these events. The print_fields() function
just iterates the fields and prints them according to what type they are,
and ignores the TP_printk() format from the event itself.
To understand the difference, when printing via TP_printk() the output
looks like this:
4582.696626: kmem_cache_alloc: call_site=getname_flags+0x47/0x1f0 ptr=00000000e70e10e0 bytes_req=4096 bytes_alloc=4096 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL node=-1 accounted=false

But when printing via print_fields() (echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/options/fields)
the same event output looks like this:

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.

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.

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Restructure the function graph shadow stack to prepare it for use
with kretprobes
With the goal of merging the shadow stack logic of function graph and
kretprobes, some more restructuring of the function shadow stack is
required.
Move out function graph specific fields from the fgraph
infrastructure and store it on the new stack variables that can pass
data from the entry callback to the exit callback.
Hopefully, with this change, the merge of kretprobes to use fgraph
shadow stacks will be ready by the next merge window.
- Make shadow stack 4k instead of using PAGE_SIZE.
Some architectures have very large PAGE_SIZE values which make its
use for shadow stacks waste a lot of memory.
- Give shadow stacks its own kmem cache.
When function graph is started, every task on the system gets a
shadow stack. In the future, shadow stacks may not be 4K in size.
Have it have its own kmem cache so that whatever size it becomes will
still be efficient in allocations.
- Initialize profiler graph ops as it will be needed for new updates to
fgraph
- Convert to use guard(mutex) for several ftrace and fgraph functions
- Add more comments and documentation
- Show function return address in function graph tracer
Add an option to show the caller of a function at each entry of the
function graph tracer, similar to what the function tracer does.
- Abstract out ftrace_regs from being used directly like pt_regs
ftrace_regs was created to store a partial pt_regs. It holds only the
registers and stack information to get to the function arguments and
return values. On several archs, it is simply a wrapper around
pt_regs. But some users would access ftrace_regs directly to get the
pt_regs which will not work on all archs. Make ftrace_regs an
abstract structure that requires all access to its fields be through
accessor functions.
- Show how long it takes to do function code modifications
When code modification for function hooks happen, it always had the
time recorded in how long it took to do the conversion. But this
value was never exported. Recently the code was touched due to new
ROX modification handling that caused a large slow down in doing the
modifications and had a significant impact on boot times.
Expose the timings in the dyn_ftrace_total_info file. This file was
created a while ago to show information about memory usage and such
to implement dynamic function tracing. It's also an appropriate file
to store the timings of this modification as well. This will make it
easier to see the impact of changes to code modification on boot up
timings.

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.

Pull ring buffer fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Revert: "ring-buffer: Do not have boot mapped buffers hook to CPU
hotplug"
A crash that happened on cpu hotplug was actually caused by the
incorrect ref counting that was fixed by commit 2cf9733891a4
("ring-buffer: Fix refcount setting of boot mapped buffers"). The
removal of calling cpu hotplug callbacks on memory mapped buffers was
not an issue even though the tests at the time pointed toward it. But
in fact, there's a check in that code that tests to see if the
buffers are already allocated or not, and will not allocate them
again if they are. Not calling the cpu hotplug callbacks ended up not
initializing the non boot CPU buffers.
Simply remove that change.
- Clear all CPU buffers when starting tracing in a boot mapped buffer
To properly process events from a previous boot, the address space
needs to be accounted for due to KASLR and the events in the buffer
are updated accordingly when read. This also requires that when the
buffer has tracing enabled again in the current boot that the buffers
are reset so that events from the previous boot do not interact with
the events of the current boot and cause confusing due to not having
the proper meta data.
It was found that if a CPU is taken offline, that its per CPU buffer
is not reset when tracing starts. This allows for events to be from
both the previous boot and the current boot to be in the buffer at
the same time. Clear all CPU buffers when tracing is started in a
boot mapped buffer.

Revert: "ring-buffer: Do not have boot mapped buffers hook to CPU hotplug"

The events of a memory mapped ring buffer from the previous boot should
not be mixed in with events from the current boot. There's meta data that
is used to handle KASLR so that function names can be shown properly.
Also, since the timestamps of the previous boot have no meaning to the
timestamps of the current boot, having them intermingled in a buffer can
also cause confusion because there could possibly be events in the future.
When a trace is activated the meta data is reset so that the pointers of
are now processed for the new address space. The trace buffers are reset
when tracing starts for the first time. The problem here is that the reset
only happens on online CPUs. If a CPU is offline, it does not get reset.
To demonstrate the issue, a previous boot had tracing enabled in the boot
mapped ring buffer on reboot. On the following boot, tracing has not been
started yet so the function trace from the previous boot is still visible.

Now, if CPU 3 is taken offline, and tracing is started on the memory
mapped ring buffer, the events from the previous boot in the CPU 3 ring
buffer is not reset. Now those events are using the meta data from the
current boot and produces just hex values.
