This userspace program includes UAPI headers exported to usr/include/.
'make headers' always works for the target architecture (i.e. the same
architecture as the kernel), so the sample program should be built for
the target as well. Kbuild now supports 'userprogs' for that.
Add the entry to samples/Makefile to put this into the build bot
coverage.
I also added the CONFIG option guarded by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK'
because $(CC) may not provide libc.

- PERAMAENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a function
As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable all
attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on live
kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a ftrace_ops
is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it will prevent
ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if ftrace_enabled is already
disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops with PREMANENT flag set from
being registered.
- New register_ftrace_direct(). As eBPF would like to register its own
trampolines to be called by the ftrace nop locations directly,
without going through the ftrace trampoline, this function has been
added. This allows for eBPF trampolines to live along side of
ftrace, perf, kprobe and live patching. It also utilizes the ftrace
enabled_functions file that keeps track of functions that have been
modified in the kernel, to allow for security auditing.
- Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances. Subsystems in
the kernel can now create and destroy their own tracing instances
which allows them to have their own tracing buffer, and be able
to record events without worrying about other users from writing over
their data.
- New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
seq_buf usage.
- Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency tracers.
- Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch and
friends.
- More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)
- Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
system call trace events.
This along with small clean ups and fixes.

Commit 5318321d36 ("samples: disable CONFIG_SAMPLES for UML") used
a big hammer to fix the build errors under the samples/ directory.
Only some samples actually include uapi headers from usr/include.
Introduce CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL since 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' is
clearer than 'depends on !UML'. If this option is enabled, uapi headers
are installed before starting directory descending.
I added 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' to per-sample CONFIG options.
This allows UML to compile some samples.

This is a sample program showing userspace how to get race-free access
to process metadata from a pidfd. It is rather easy to do and userspace
can actually simply reuse code that currently parses a process's status
file in procfs.
The program can easily be extended into a generic helper suitable for
inclusion in a libc to make it even easier for userspace to gain metadata
access.
Since this came up in a discussion because this API is going to be used
in various service managers: A lot of programs will have a whitelist
seccomp filter that returns <some-errno> for all new syscalls. This
means that programs might get confused if CLONE_PIDFD works but the
later pidfd_send_signal() syscall doesn't. Hence, here's a ahead of
time check that pidfd_send_signal() is supported:
bool pidfd_send_signal_supported()
{
int procfd = open("/proc/self", O_DIRECTORY | O_RDONLY | O_CLOEXEC);
if (procfd < 0)
return false;
/*
* A process is always allowed to signal itself so
* pidfd_send_signal() should never fail this test. If it does
* it must mean it is not available, blocked by an LSM, seccomp,
* or other.
*/
return pidfd_send_signal(procfd, 0, NULL, 0) == 0;

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.
Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
doing cross-architecture changes.

Add a system call to make extended file information available, including
file creation and some attribute flags where available through the
underlying filesystem.
The getattr inode operation is altered to take two additional arguments: a
u32 request_mask and an unsigned int flags that indicate the
synchronisation mode. This change is propagated to the vfs_getattr*()
function.
Functions like vfs_stat() are now inline wrappers around new functions
vfs_statx() and vfs_statx_fd() to reduce stack usage.
========
OVERVIEW
========
The idea was initially proposed as a set of xattrs that could be retrieved
with getxattr(), but the general preference proved to be for a new syscall
with an extended stat structure.
A number of requests were gathered for features to be included. The
following have been included:
(1) Make the fields a consistent size on all arches and make them large.
(2) Spare space, request flags and information flags are provided for
future expansion.
(3) Better support for the y2038 problem [Arnd Bergmann] (tv_sec is an
__s64).
(4) Creation time: The SMB protocol carries the creation time, which could
be exported by Samba, which will in turn help CIFS make use of
FS-Cache as that can be used for coherency data (stx_btime).
This is also specified in NFSv4 as a recommended attribute and could
be exported by NFSD [Steve French].
(5) Lightweight stat: Ask for just those details of interest, and allow a
netfs (such as NFS) to approximate anything not of interest, possibly
without going to the server [Trond Myklebust, Ulrich Drepper, Andreas
Dilger] (AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC).
(6) Heavyweight stat: Force a netfs to go to the server, even if it thinks
its cached attributes are up to date [Trond Myklebust]
(AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC).
And the following have been left out for future extension:
(7) Data version number: Could be used by userspace NFS servers [Aneesh
Kumar].
Can also be used to modify fill_post_wcc() in NFSD which retrieves
i_version directly, but has just called vfs_getattr(). It could get
it from the kstat struct if it used vfs_xgetattr() instead.
(There's disagreement on the exact semantics of a single field, since
not all filesystems do this the same way).
(8) BSD stat compatibility: Including more fields from the BSD stat such
as creation time (st_btime) and inode generation number (st_gen)
[Jeremy Allison, Bernd Schubert].
(9) Inode generation number: Useful for FUSE and userspace NFS servers
[Bernd Schubert].
(This was asked for but later deemed unnecessary with the
open-by-handle capability available and caused disagreement as to
whether it's a security hole or not).
(10) Extra coherency data may be useful in making backups [Andreas Dilger].
(No particular data were offered, but things like last backup
timestamp, the data version number and the DOS archive bit would come
into this category).
(11) Allow the filesystem to indicate what it can/cannot provide: A
filesystem can now say it doesn't support a standard stat feature if
that isn't available, so if, for instance, inode numbers or UIDs don't
exist or are fabricated locally...
(This requires a separate system call - I have an fsinfo() call idea
for this).
(12) Store a 16-byte volume ID in the superblock that can be returned in
struct xstat [Steve French].
(Deferred to fsinfo).
(13) Include granularity fields in the time data to indicate the
granularity of each of the times (NFSv4 time_delta) [Steve French].
(Deferred to fsinfo).
(14) FS_IOC_GETFLAGS value. These could be translated to BSD's st_flags.
Note that the Linux IOC flags are a mess and filesystems such as Ext4
define flags that aren't in linux/fs.h, so translation in the kernel
may be a necessity (or, possibly, we provide the filesystem type too).
(Some attributes are made available in stx_attributes, but the general
feeling was that the IOC flags were to ext[234]-specific and shouldn't
be exposed through statx this way).
(15) Mask of features available on file (eg: ACLs, seclabel) [Brad Boyer,
Michael Kerrisk].
(Deferred, probably to fsinfo. Finding out if there's an ACL or
seclabal might require extra filesystem operations).
(16) Femtosecond-resolution timestamps [Dave Chinner].
(A __reserved field has been left in the statx_timestamp struct for
this - if there proves to be a need).
(17) A set multiple attributes syscall to go with this.
===============
NEW SYSTEM CALL
===============
The new system call is:
int ret = statx(int dfd,
const char *filename,
unsigned int flags,
unsigned int mask,
struct statx *buffer);
The dfd, filename and flags parameters indicate the file to query, in a
similar way to fstatat(). There is no equivalent of lstat() as that can be
emulated with statx() by passing AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW in flags. There is
also no equivalent of fstat() as that can be emulated by passing a NULL
filename to statx() with the fd of interest in dfd.
Whether or not statx() synchronises the attributes with the backing store
can be controlled by OR'ing a value into the flags argument (this typically
only affects network filesystems):
(1) AT_STATX_SYNC_AS_STAT tells statx() to behave as stat() does in this
respect.
(2) AT_STATX_FORCE_SYNC will require a network filesystem to synchronise
its attributes with the server - which might require data writeback to
occur to get the timestamps correct.
(3) AT_STATX_DONT_SYNC will suppress synchronisation with the server in a
network filesystem. The resulting values should be considered
approximate.
mask is a bitmask indicating the fields in struct statx that are of
interest to the caller. The user should set this to STATX_BASIC_STATS to
get the basic set returned by stat(). It should be noted that asking for
more information may entail extra I/O operations.
buffer points to the destination for the data. This must be 256 bytes in
size.
======================
MAIN ATTRIBUTES RECORD
======================
The following structures are defined in which to return the main attribute
set:
struct statx_timestamp {
__s64 tv_sec;
__s32 tv_nsec;
__s32 __reserved;
};
struct statx {
__u32 stx_mask;

__u32 stx_rdev_minor;
__u32 stx_dev_major;

STATX_BLOCKS Want/got stx_blocks
STATX_BASIC_STATS [The stuff in the normal stat struct]
STATX_BTIME Want/got stx_btime{,_ns}
STATX_ALL [All currently available stuff]
stx_btime is the file creation time, stx_mask is a bitmask indicating the
data provided and __spares*[] are where as-yet undefined fields can be
placed.
Time fields are structures with separate seconds and nanoseconds fields
plus a reserved field in case we want to add even finer resolution. Note
that times will be negative if before 1970; in such a case, the nanosecond
fields will also be negative if not zero.
The bits defined in the stx_attributes field convey information about a
file, how it is accessed, where it is and what it does. The following
attributes map to FS_*_FL flags and are the same numerical value:
STATX_ATTR_COMPRESSED File is compressed by the fs
STATX_ATTR_IMMUTABLE File is marked immutable
STATX_ATTR_APPEND File is append-only
STATX_ATTR_NODUMP File is not to be dumped
STATX_ATTR_ENCRYPTED File requires key to decrypt in fs
Within the kernel, the supported flags are listed by:
KSTAT_ATTR_FS_IOC_FLAGS
[Are any other IOC flags of sufficient general interest to be exposed
through this interface?]
New flags include:
STATX_ATTR_AUTOMOUNT Object is an automount trigger
These are for the use of GUI tools that might want to mark files specially,
depending on what they are.
Fields in struct statx come in a number of classes:
(0) stx_dev_*, stx_blksize.
These are local system information and are always available.
(1) stx_mode, stx_nlinks, stx_uid, stx_gid, stx_[amc]time, stx_ino,
stx_size, stx_blocks.
These will be returned whether the caller asks for them or not. The
corresponding bits in stx_mask will be set to indicate whether they
actually have valid values.
If the caller didn't ask for them, then they may be approximated. For
example, NFS won't waste any time updating them from the server,
unless as a byproduct of updating something requested.
If the values don't actually exist for the underlying object (such as
UID or GID on a DOS file), then the bit won't be set in the stx_mask,
even if the caller asked for the value. In such a case, the returned
value will be a fabrication.
Note that there are instances where the type might not be valid, for
instance Windows reparse points.
(2) stx_rdev_*.
This will be set only if stx_mode indicates we're looking at a
blockdev or a chardev, otherwise will be 0.
(3) stx_btime.
Similar to (1), except this will be set to 0 if it doesn't exist.
=======
TESTING
=======
The following test program can be used to test the statx system call:
samples/statx/test-statx.c
Just compile and run, passing it paths to the files you want to examine.
The file is built automatically if CONFIG_SAMPLES is enabled.
Here's some example output. Firstly, an NFS directory that crosses to
another FSID. Note that the AUTOMOUNT attribute is set because transiting
this directory will cause d_automount to be invoked by the VFS.

Move blackfin gptimers-example to samples and remove it from Documentation
Makefile. Update samples Kconfig and Makefile to build gptimers-example.
blackfin is the last CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC target in Documentation/Makefile.
Hence this patch also includes changes to remove CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC from
Makefile and lib/Kconfig.debug and updates VIDEO_PCI_SKELETON dependency
on BUILD_DOCSRC.
Documentation/Makefile is not deleted to avoid braking make htmldocs and

Add sample code to test trace_printk(). The trace_printk() functions should
never be used in production code. This makes testing it a bit more
difficult. Having a sample module that can test use cases of trace_printk()
can help out.
Currently it just tests trace_printk() where it will be converted into:
trace_bputs()
trace_puts()
trace_bprintk()
as well as staying as the normal _trace_printk().
It also tests its use in interrupt context as that will test the auxilery
buffers.

A small bug with the new autoksyms support showed that there are
two kernel modules in the Documentation directory that qualify
as samples, while all other samples are in the samples/ directory.
This patch was originally meant as a workaround for that bug, but
it has now been solved in a different way. However, I still think
it makes sense as a cleanup to consolidate all sample code in
one place.

The tracepoint sample code was used to teach developers how to
create their own tracepoints. But now the trace_events have been
added as a higher level that is used directly by developers today.
Only the trace_event code should use the tracepoint interface
directly and no new tracepoints should be added.
Besides, the example had a race condition with the use of the
->d_name.name dentry field, as pointed out by Al Viro.
Best just to remove the code so it wont be used by other developers.

Add an rpmsg driver sample, which demonstrates how to communicate with
an AMP-configured remote processor over the rpmsg bus.
Note how once probed, the driver can immediately start sending messages
using the rpmsg_send() API, without having to worry about creating endpoints
or allocating rpmsg addresses: all that work is done by the rpmsg bus,
and the required information is already embedded in the rpmsg channel
that the driver is probed with.
In this sample, the driver simply sends a "Hello World!" message to the remote
processor repeatedly.

Move kprobes examples from Documentation/kprobes.txt to under samples/.
Patch originally by Randy Dunlap.
o Updated the patch to apply on 2.6.25-rc3
o Modified examples code to build on multiple architectures. Currently,
the kprobe and jprobe examples code works for x86 and powerpc
o Cleaned up unneeded #includes
o Cleaned up Kconfig per Sam Ravnborg's suggestions to fix build break
on archs that don't have kretprobes
o Implemented suggestions by Mathieu Desnoyers on CONFIG_KRETPROBES
o Included Andrew Morton's cleanup based on x86-git
o Modified kretprobe_example to act as a arch-agnostic module to
determine routine execution times:
Use 'modprobe kretprobe_example func=<func_name>' to determine
execution time of func_name in nanoseconds.
