all events. This was prevalent when FTRACE_SELFTEST was enabled which
enables all events several times, and caused the system bootup to
pause for over a minute.
This was tracked down to an addition of a synchronize_sched() performed
when system call tracepoints are unregistered.
The synchronize_sched() is needed between the unregistering of the
system call tracepoint and a deletion of a tracing instance buffer.
But placing the synchronize_sched() in the unreg of *every* system call
tracepoint is a bit overboard. A single synchronize_sched() before
the deletion of the instance is sufficient.

"A regression showed up that there's a large delay when enabling all

* tag 'trace-fixes-3.13-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace:
tracing: Only run synchronize_sched() at instance deletion time
It has been reported that boot up with FTRACE_SELFTEST enabled can take a
very long time. There can be stalls of over a minute.
This was tracked down to the synchronize_sched() called when a system call
event is disabled. As the self tests enable and disable thousands of events,
this makes the synchronize_sched() get called thousands of times.
The synchornize_sched() was added with d562aff93b "tracing: Add support
for SOFT_DISABLE to syscall events" which caused this regression (added
in 3.13-rc1).
The synchronize_sched() is to protect against the events being accessed
when a tracer instance is being deleted. When an instance is being deleted
all the events associated to it are unregistered. The synchronize_sched()
makes sure that no more users are running when it finishes.
Instead of calling synchronize_sched() for all syscall events, we only
need to call it once, after the events are unregistered and before the
instance is deleted. The event_mutex is held during this action to
prevent new users from enabling events.

The above mentioned commit didn't go far enough. Well, it covered the
function tracer by adding checks in __register_ftrace_function(). The
problem is that the function graph tracer circumvents that (for a slight
efficiency gain when function graph trace is running with a function
tracer. The gain was not worth this).
The problem came with ftrace_startup() which should always be called after
__register_ftrace_function(), if you want this bug to be completely fixed.
Anyway, this solution moves __register_ftrace_function() inside of
ftrace_startup() and removes the need to call them both.

The 64-bit attr.config value for perf trace events was being copied into
an "int" before doing a comparison, meaning the top 32 bits were
being truncated.
As far as I can tell this didn't cause any errors, but it did mean
it was possible to create valid aliases for all the tracepoint ids
which I don't think was intended. (For example, 0xffffffff00000018
and 0x18 both enable the same tracepoint).

Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem.
When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or
PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an
infinite event generation loop:
,-> <IPI>
| irq_work_exit() ->
| trace_irq_work_exit() ->
| ...
| __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync)
| irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty)
'--------- arch_irq_work_raise()
Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed
the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit.
To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint.
In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer
for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a
tracepoint perf event.

who introduced "set_graph_notrace" filter that lets you run the function
graph tracer and not trace particular functions and their call chain.
Tom Zanussi added some updates to the ftrace multibuffer tracing that
made it more consistent with the top level tracing.
One of the fixes for perf function tracing required an API change in
RCU; the addition of "rcu_is_watching()". As Paul McKenney is pushing

Pull block IO core updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for
3.13. It contains:
- The new blk-mq request interface.
This is a new and more scalable queueing model that marries the
best part of the request based interface we currently have (which
is fully featured, but scales poorly) and the bio based "interface"
which the new drivers for high IOPS devices end up using because
it's much faster than the request based one.
The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps into
the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to
implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging,
timeout handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all
these. Some drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and
has code to handle both, since things like merging only works in
the rq model and hence is faster for some workloads. This is a
huge mess. Conversion of these drivers nets us a substantial code
reduction. Initial results on converting SCSI to this model even
shows an 8x improvement on single queue devices. So while the
model was intended to work on the newer multiqueue devices, it has
substantial improvements for "classic" hardware as well. This code
has gone through extensive testing and development, it's now ready
to go. A pull request is coming to convert virtio-blk to this
model will be will be coming as well, with more drivers scheduled
for 3.14 conversion.
- Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang.
- A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost.
- Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter.
- Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven.
- A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout
handling from Jeff Moyer. This is what caused the merge conflict
with blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that.
- A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer.
- A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent
Overstreet.
- A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop
crash and memory corruption on blk cg.
- Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama.
A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch. Initially the immutable
bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became
clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet. So the decision was made to
pull this out and postpone it until 3.14. It was a straight forward
rebase, just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of
problems with it. The rest of the patches applied directly and no
further changes were made"

Currently each task sends BLK_TN_PROCESS event to the first traced
device it interacts with after a new trace is started. When there are
several traced devices and the task accesses more devices, this logic
can result in BLK_TN_PROCESS being sent several times to some devices
while it is never sent to other devices. Thus blkparse doesn't display
command name when parsing some blktrace files.
Fix the problem by sending BLK_TN_PROCESS event to all traced devices
when a task interacts with any of them.

The duration field of print_graph_duration() can also be used
to do the space filling by passing an enum in it:
DURATION_FILL_FULL
DURATION_FILL_START
DURATION_FILL_END
The problem is that these are enums and defined as negative,
but the duration field is unsigned long long. Most archs are
fine with this but blackfin fails to compile because of it:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `print_graph_duration':
kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:782: undefined reference to `__ucmpdi2'
Overloading a unsigned long long with an signed enum is just
bad in principle. We can accomplish the same thing by using
part of the flags field instead.

In system_tr_open(), the filp->private_data can be assigned the 'dir'

harmless because the error return code will prevent filp->private_data
from being used. But for correctness, we should not assign it to
a recently freed variable, as that can cause static tools to give
false warnings.
Also have both subsystem_open() and system_tr_open() return -ENODEV

The original SOFT_DISABLE patches didn't add support for soft disable
of syscall events; this adds it.
Add an array of ftrace_event_file pointers indexed by syscall number
to the trace array and remove the existing enabled bitmaps, which as a
result are now redundant. The ftrace_event_file structs in turn
contain the soft disable flags we need for per-syscall soft disable
accounting.
Adding ftrace_event_files also means we can remove the USE_CALL_FILTER
bit, thus enabling multibuffer filter support for syscall events.

The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
filters in the multibuffer case:
Before:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
the same event in tracing/events as it does above.
After:
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.
The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces
it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as
appropriate).

Perf uses rcu_read_lock() but as the function tracer can trace functions
even when RCU is not currently active, this makes the rcu_read_lock()
used by perf ineffective.
As perf is currently the only user of the ftrace_ops_control_func() and
perf is also the only function callback that actively uses rcu_read_lock(),
the quick fix is to prevent the ftrace_ops_control_func() from calling
its callbacks if RCU is not active.
With Paul's new "rcu_is_watching()" we can tell if RCU is active or not.

The out-of-bounds access happens on 'parser->buffer[parser->idx] = 0;'
Although the crash happened in ftrace_regex_open() the real bug
occurred in trace_get_user() where there's an incrementation to
parser->idx without a check against the size. The way it is triggered
is if userspace sends in 128 characters (EVENT_BUF_SIZE + 1), the loop
that reads the last character stores it and then breaks out because
there is no more characters. Then the last character is read to determine
what to do next, and the index is incremented without checking size.
Then the caller of trace_get_user() usually nulls out the last character
with a zero, but since the index is equal to the size, it writes a nul
character after the allocated space, which can corrupt memory.
Luckily, only root user has write access to this file.

The current "help" that comes out of the snapshot file when it is
not allocated looks like this:
# * Snapshot is freed *
#
# Snapshot commands:
# echo 0 > snapshot : Clears and frees snapshot buffer
# echo 1 > snapshot : Allocates snapshot buffer, if not already allocated.
# Takes a snapshot of the main buffer.
# echo 2 > snapshot : Clears snapshot buffer (but does not allocate)
# (Doesn't have to be '2' works with any number that
# is not a '0' or '1')
Echo 2 says that it does not allocate the buffer, which is correct,
but to be more consistent with "echo 0" it should also state
that it does not free.

There's a slight race when going from a list function to a non list
function. That is, when only one callback is registered to the function
tracer, it gets called directly by the mcount trampoline. But if this
function has filters, it may be called by the wrong functions.
As the list ops callback that handles multiple callbacks that are
registered to ftrace, it also handles what functions they call. While
the transaction is taking place, use the list function always, and
after all the updates are finished (only the functions that should be
traced are being traced), then we can update the trampoline to call
the function directly.

Fixed two issues with changing the timestamp clock with trace_clock:
- The global buffer was reset on instance clock changes. Change this to pass
the correct per-instance buffer
- ftrace_now() is used to set buf->time_start in tracing_reset_online_cpus().
This was incorrect because ftrace_now() used the global buffer's clock to
return the current time. Change this to use buffer_ftrace_now() which
returns the current time for the correct per-instance buffer.
Also removed tracing_reset_current() because it is not used anywhere

tracing_read_pipe zeros all fields bellow "seq". The declaration contains
a comment about that, but it doesn't help.
The first field is "snapshot", it's true when current open file is
snapshot. Looks obvious, that it should not be zeroed.
The second field is "started". It was converted from cpumask_t to
cpumask_var_t (v2.6.28-4983-g4462344), in other words it was
converted from cpumask to pointer on cpumask.
Currently the reference on "started" memory is lost after the first read
from tracing_read_pipe and a proper object will never be freed.
The "started" is never dereferenced for trace_pipe, because trace_pipe
can't have the TRACE_FILE_ANNOTATE options.

Uprobes suffer the same problem that kprobes have. There's a race between
writing to the "enable" file and removing the probe. The probe checks for
it being in use and if it is not, goes about deleting the probe and the
event that represents it. But the problem with that is, after it checks
if it is in use it can be enabled, and the deletion of the event (access
to the probe) will fail, as it is in use. But the uprobe will still be
deleted. This is a problem as the event can reference the uprobe that
was deleted.
The fix is to remove the event first, and check to make sure the event
removal succeeds. Then it is safe to remove the probe.
When the event exists, either ftrace or perf can enable the probe and
prevent the event from being removed.

The unregister_trace_probe() must be done first, and if it fails it must
fail the removal of the kprobe.
Several changes have already been made by Oleg Nesterov and Masami Hiramatsu
to allow moving the unregister_probe_event() before the removal of
the probe and exit the function if it fails. This prevents the tp
structure from being used after it is freed.

The "break" used in the do_for_each_event_file() is used as an optimization
as the loop is really a double loop. The loop searches all event files
for each trace_array. There's only one matching event file per trace_array
and after we find the event file for the trace_array, the break is used
to jump to the next trace_array and start the search there.
As this is not a standard way of using "break" in C code, it requires
a comment right before the break to let people know what is going on.

Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this
call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify
outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c
need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort
if trace_remove_event_call() fails.
The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that
nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds.
debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove()
does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need
the additional checks:
- There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the
patch checks ->perf_refcount.
- TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE,
so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

It was finally narrowed down to unloading a module that was being traced.
It was actually more than that. When functions are being traced, there's
a table of all functions that have a ref count of the number of active
tracers attached to that function. When a function trace callback is
registered to a function, the function's record ref count is incremented.
When it is unregistered, the function's record ref count is decremented.
If an inconsistency is detected (ref count goes below zero) the above
warning is shown and the function tracing is permanently disabled until
reboot.
The ftrace callback ops holds a hash of functions that it filters on
(and/or filters off). If the hash is empty, the default means to filter
all functions (for the filter_hash) or to disable no functions (for the
notrace_hash).
When a module is unloaded, it frees the function records that represent
the module functions. These records exist on their own pages, that is
function records for one module will not exist on the same page as
function records for other modules or even the core kernel.
Now when a module unloads, the records that represents its functions are
freed. When the module is loaded again, the records are recreated with
a default ref count of zero (unless there's a callback that traces all
functions, then they will also be traced, and the ref count will be
incremented).
The problem is that if an ftrace callback hash includes functions of the
module being unloaded, those hash entries will not be removed. If the
module is reloaded in the same location, the hash entries still point
to the functions of the module but the module's ref counts do not reflect
that.
With the help of Steve and Joern, we found a reproducer:
Using uinput module and uinput_release function.
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
modprobe uinput
echo uinput_release > set_ftrace_filter
echo function > current_tracer
rmmod uinput
modprobe uinput
# check /proc/modules to see if loaded in same addr, otherwise try again
echo nop > current_tracer
[BOOM]
The above loads the uinput module, which creates a table of functions that
can be traced within the module.
We add uinput_release to the filter_hash to trace just that function.
Enable function tracincg, which increments the ref count of the record
associated to uinput_release.
Remove uinput, which frees the records including the one that represents
uinput_release.
Load the uinput module again (and make sure it's at the same address).
This recreates the function records all with a ref count of zero,
including uinput_release.
Disable function tracing, which will decrement the ref count for uinput_release
which is now zero because of the module removal and reload, and we have
a mismatch (below zero ref count).
The solution is to check all currently tracing ftrace callbacks to see if any
are tracing any of the module's functions when a module is loaded (it already does
that with callbacks that trace all functions). If a callback happens to have
a module function being traced, it increments that records ref count and starts
tracing that function.
There may be a strange side effect with this, where tracing module functions
on unload and then reloading a new module may have that new module's functions
being traced. This may be something that confuses the user, but it's not
a big deal. Another approach is to disable all callback hashes on module unload,
but this leaves some ftrace callbacks that may not be registered, but can
still have hashes tracing the module's function where ftrace doesn't know about
it. That situation can cause the same bug. This solution solves that case too.
Another benefit of this solution, is it is possible to trace a module's
function on unload and load.

Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear ->i_private for every
file we are going to remove.
We need to check file->dir != NULL because event_create_dir()
can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch
moves it under the same check anyway for readability.
spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed
afaics, but I do not understand this code enough.
tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file()
can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops()
use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled.
This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete().
f_op->read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call,
all event/* files were changed to check and use ->i_private
under event_mutex.
Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can
destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but
those changes are completely orthogonal.

There are several tracepoints (mostly in RCU), that reference a string
pointer and uses the print format of "%s" to display the string that
exists in the kernel, instead of copying the actual string to the
ring buffer (saves time and ring buffer space).
But this has an issue with userspace tools that read the binary buffers
that has the address of the string but has no access to what the string
itself is. The end result is just output that looks like:
rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeaa 1 0
rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
rcu_dyntick: ffffffff818adeb5 0 140000000000000
rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b
rcu_utilization: ffffffff8184333b
The above is pretty useless when read by the userspace tools. Ideally
we would want something that looks like this:
rcu_dyntick: Start 1 0
rcu_dyntick: End 0 140000000000000
rcu_dyntick: Start 140000000000000 0
rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880037aff710 func=put_cred_rcu 0/4
rcu_callback: rcu_preempt rhp=0xffff880078961980 func=file_free_rcu 0/5
rcu_dyntick: End 0 1
The trace_printk() which also only stores the address of the string
format instead of recording the string into the buffer itself, exports
the mapping of kernel addresses to format strings via the printk_format
file in the debugfs tracing directory.
The tracepoint strings can use this same method and output the format
to the same file and the userspace tools will be able to decipher
the address without any modification.
The tracepoint strings need its own section to save the strings because
the trace_printk section will cause the trace_printk() buffers to be
allocated if anything exists within the section. trace_printk() is only
used for debugging and should never exist in the kernel, we can not use
the trace_printk sections.
Add a new tracepoint_str section that will also be examined by the output
of the printk_format file.

Commit a82274151a "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c"
added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were
several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also
encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes
the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock.
This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the
module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the
trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer
by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often
which explains why it wasn't caught right away.
Commit a82274151a was marked for stable, which means this must be
sent to stable too.

If a ftrace ops is registered with the SAVE_REGS flag set, and there's
already a ops registered to one of its functions but without the
SAVE_REGS flag, there's a small race window where the SAVE_REGS ops gets
added to the list of callbacks to call for that function before the
callback trampoline gets set to save the regs.
The problem is, the function is not currently saving regs, which opens
a small race window where the ops that is expecting regs to be passed
to it, wont. This can cause a crash if the callback were to reference
the regs, as the SAVE_REGS guarantees that regs will be set.
To fix this, we add a check in the loop case where it checks if the ops
has the SAVE_REGS flag set, and if so, it will ignore it if regs is
not set.

Every "file_operations" used by tracing_init_debugfs_percpu is buggy.
f_op->open/etc does:
1. struct trace_cpu *tc = inode->i_private;
struct trace_array *tr = tc->tr;
2. trace_array_get(tr) or fail;
3. do_something(tc);
But tc (and tr) can be already freed before trace_array_get() is called.
And it doesn't matter whether this file is per-cpu or it was created by
init_tracer_debugfs(), free_percpu() or kfree() are equally bad.
Note that even 1. is not safe, the freed memory can be unmapped. But even
if it was safe trace_array_get() can wrongly succeed if we also race with
the next new_instance_create() which can re-allocate the same tr, or tc
was overwritten and ->tr points to the valid tr. In this case 3. uses the
freed/reused memory.
Add the new trivial helper, trace_create_cpu_file() which simply calls
trace_create_file() and encodes "cpu" in "struct inode". Another helper,
tracing_get_cpu() will be used to read cpu_nr-or-RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.
The patch abuses ->i_cdev to encode the number, it is never used unless
the file is S_ISCHR(). But we could use something else, say, i_bytes or
even ->d_fsdata. In any case this hack is hidden inside these 2 helpers,
it would be trivial to change them if needed.
This patch only changes tracing_init_debugfs_percpu() to use the new
trace_create_cpu_file(), the next patches will change file_operations.
Note: tracing_get_cpu(inode) is always safe but you can't trust the
result unless trace_array_get() was called, without trace_types_lock
which acts as a barrier it can wrongly return RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS.

event_id_read() has no reason to kmalloc "struct trace_seq"
(more than PAGE_SIZE!), it can use a small buffer instead.
Note: "if (*ppos) return 0" looks strange and even wrong,
simple_read_from_buffer() handles ppos != 0 case corrrectly.
And it seems that almost every user of trace_seq in this file
should be converted too. Unless you use seq_open(), trace_seq
buys nothing compared to the raw buffer, but it needs a bit
more memory and code.

f_next() looks overcomplicated, and it is not strictly correct
even if this doesn't matter.
Say, FORMAT_FIELD_SEPERATOR should not return NULL (means EOF)
if trace_get_fields() returns an empty list, we should simply
advance to FORMAT_PRINTFMT as we do when we find the end of list.
1. Change f_next() to return "struct list_head *" rather than
"ftrace_event_field *", and change f_show() to do list_entry().
This simplifies the code a bit, only f_show() needs to know
about ftrace_event_field, and f_next() can play with ->prev
directly
2. Change f_next() to not play with ->prev / return inside the
switch() statement. It can simply set node = head/common_head,
the prev-or-advance-to-the-next-magic below does all work.
While at it. f_start() looks overcomplicated too. I don't think
*pos == 0 makes sense as a separate case, just change this code
to do "while" instead of "do/while".
The patch also moves f_start() down, close to f_stop(). This is
purely cosmetic, just to make the locking added by the next patch
more clear/visible.

The selftest for function and function graph tracers are defined as
__init, as they are only executed at boot up. The "tracer" structs
that are associated to those tracers are not setup as __init as they
are used after boot. To stop mismatch warnings, those structures
need to be annotated with __ref_data.
Currently, the tracer structures are defined to __read_mostly, as they
do not really change. But in the future they should be converted to
consts, but that will take a little work because they have a "next"
pointer that gets updated when they are registered. That will have to
wait till the next major release.

As for new features, there were a few, but nothing to write to LWN about.
These include:
New function trigger called "dump" and "cpudump" that will cause
ftrace to dump its buffer to the console when the function is called.
The difference between "dump" and "cpudump" is that "dump" will dump
the entire contents of the ftrace buffer, where as "cpudump" will only
dump the contents of the ftrace buffer for the CPU that called the function.
Another small enhancement is a new sysctl switch called "traceoff_on_warning"
which, when enabled, will disable tracing if any WARN_ON() is triggered.
This is useful if you want to debug what caused a warning and do not
want to risk losing your trace data by the ring buffer overwriting the
data before you can disable it. There's also a kernel command line
option that will make this enabled at boot up called the same thing.

While analyzing the code, I discovered that there's a potential race between
deleting a trace instance and setting events. There are a few races that can
occur if events are being traced as the buffer is being deleted. Mostly the
problem comes with freeing the descriptor used by the trace event callback.
To prevent problems like this, the events are disabled before the buffer is
deleted. The problem with the current solution is that the event_mutex is let
go between disabling the events and freeing the files, which means that the events
could be enabled again while the freeing takes place.

Commit a695cb5816 "tracing: Prevent deleting instances when they are being read"
tried to fix a race between deleting a trace instance and reading contents
of a trace file. But it wasn't good enough. The following could crash the kernel:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances
# ( while :; do mkdir foo; rmdir foo; done ) &
# ( while :; do echo 1 > foo/events/sched/sched_switch 2> /dev/null; done ) &
Luckily this can only be done by root user, but it should be fixed regardless.
The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the write to the event
is opened, but before the enabling happens.
The solution is to make sure the trace_array is available before succeeding in
opening for write, and incerment the ref counter while opened.
Now the instance can be deleted when the events are writing to the buffer,
but the deletion of the instance will disable all events before the instance
is actually deleted.

The problem is that a delete of the file can happen after the reader starts
to open the file but before it grabs the trace_types_mutex.
The solution is to validate the trace array before using it. If the trace
array does not exist in the list of trace arrays, then it returns -ENODEV.
There's a possibility that a trace_array could be deleted and a new one
created and the open would open its file instead. But that is very minor as
it will just return the data of the new trace array, it may confuse the user
but it will not crash the system. As this can only be done by root anyway,
the race will only occur if root is deleting what its trying to read at
the same time.

If the kernel command line ftrace filter parameters are set
(ftrace_filter or ftrace_notrace), force the function self test to
pass, with a warning why it was forced.
If the user adds a filter to the kernel command line, it is assumed
that they know what they are doing, and the self test should just not
run instead of failing (which disables function tracing) or clearing
the filter, as that will probably annoy the user.
If the user wants the selftest to run, the message will tell them why
it did not.

If the ring buffer is disabled and the irqsoff tracer records a trace it
will clear out its buffer and lose the data it had previously recorded.
Currently there's a callback when writing to the tracing_of file, but if
tracing is disabled via the function tracer trigger, it will not inform
the irqsoff tracer to stop recording.
By using the "mirror" flag (buffer_disabled) in the trace_array, that keeps
track of the status of the trace_array's buffer, it gives the irqsoff
tracer a fast way to know if it should record a new trace or not.
The flag may be a little behind the real state of the buffer, but it
should not affect the trace too much. It's more important for the irqsoff
tracer to be fast.

I think that "ftrace_event_file *trace_probe[]" complicates the

This needs the extra sizeof(list_head) memory for every attached

The comment on the soft disable 'disable' case of
__ftrace_event_enable_disable() states that the soft disable bit
should be cleared in that case, but currently only the soft mode bit
is actually cleared.
This essentially leaves the standard non-soft-enable enable/disable
paths as the only way to clear the soft disable flag, but the soft
disable bit should also be cleared when removing a trigger with '!'.
Also, the SOFT_DISABLED bit should never be set if SOFT_MODE is
cleared.
This fixes the above discrepancies.

enable_trace_probe() and disable_trace_probe() should not worry about
serialization, the caller (perf_trace_init or __ftrace_set_clr_event)
holds event_mutex.
They are also called by kprobe_trace_self_tests_init(), but this __init
function can't race with itself or trace_events.c
And note that this code depended on event_mutex even before 41a7dd420c
which introduced probe_enable_lock. In fact it assumes that the caller
kprobe_register() can never race with itself. Otherwise, say, tp->flags
manipulations are racy.

nobody wants perf_swevent_event().

Notice that the 'i' is missing from the kprobes directory.
The console produces:
"Failed to create system directory kprobes"
This is because kprobes passes in a allocated name for the system
and the ftrace event subsystem saves off that name instead of creating
a duplicate for it. But the kprobes may free the system name making
the pointer to it invalid.
This bug was introduced by 92edca073c "tracing: Use direct field, type
and system names" which switched from using kstrdup() on the system name
in favor of just keeping apointer to it, as the internal ftrace event
system names are static and exist for the life of the computer being booted.
Instead of reverting back to duplicating system names again, we can use
core_kernel_data() to determine if the passed in name was allocated or
static. Then use the MSB of the ref_count to be a flag to keep track if
the name was allocated or not. Then we can still save from having to duplicate
strings that will always exist, but still copy the ones that may be freed.
