[ Upstream commit f37c3bbc635994eda203a6da4ba0f9d05165a8d6 ]

Since referencing user space pointers is special, if the user wants to
filter on a field that is a pointer to user space, then they need to
specify it.

Add a ".ustring" attribute to the field name for filters to state that the
field is pointing to user space such that the kernel can take the
appropriate action to read that pointer.

[ Upstream commit 77360f9bbc7e5e2ab7a2c8b4c0244fbbfcfc6f62 ]

Pingfan reported that the following causes a fault:

  echo "filename ~ \"cpu\"" &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
  echo 1 &gt; events/syscalls/sys_enter_at/enable

The reason is that trace event filter treats the user space pointer
defined by "filename" as a normal pointer to compare against the "cpu"
string. The following bug happened:

The above happened because the kernel tried to access user space directly
and triggered a "supervisor read access in kernel mode" fault. Worse yet,
the memory could not even be loaded yet, and a SEGFAULT could happen as
well. This could be true for kernel space accessing as well.

To be even more robust, test both kernel and user space strings. If the
string fails to read, then simply have the filter fail.

Note, TASK_SIZE is used to determine if the pointer is user or kernel space
and the appropriate strncpy_from_kernel/user_nofault() function is used to
copy the memory. For some architectures, the compare to TASK_SIZE may always
pick user space or kernel space. If it gets it wrong, the only thing is that
the filter will fail to match. In the future, this needs to be fixed to have
the event denote which should be used. But failing a filter is much better
than panicing the machine, and that can be solved later.

commit 66bd1333abd7fa191f13b929c9119d6cd3df27b0 upstream.

Fix the description of the directories and attributes used
in cs_etm as used by perf.

Drop the references to the 'configurations' sub-directory which
had been removed in an earlier version of the patchset.

Histogram expressions now support division, and multiplication in
addition to the already supported subtraction and addition operators.

Numeric constants can also be used in a hist trigger expressions
or assigned to a variable and used by refernce in an expression.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - simplify the Kconfig use of FTRACE and TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT

 - bootconfig can now start histograms

 - bootconfig supports group/all enabling

 - histograms now can put values in linear size buckets

 - execnames can be passed to synthetic events

 - introduce "event probes" that attach to other events and can retrieve
   data from pointers of fields, or record fields as different types (a
   pointer to a string as a string instead of just a hex number)

 - various fixes and clean ups

* tag 'trace-v5.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (35 commits)
  tracing/doc: Fix table format in histogram code
  selftests/ftrace: Add selftest for testing duplicate eprobes and kprobes
  selftests/ftrace: Add selftest for testing eprobe events on synthetic events
  selftests/ftrace: Add test case to test adding and removing of event probe
  selftests/ftrace: Fix requirement check of README file
  selftests/ftrace: Add clear_dynamic_events() to test cases
  tracing: Add a probe that attaches to trace events
  tracing/probes: Reject events which have the same name of existing one
  tracing/probes: Have process_fetch_insn() take a void * instead of pt_regs
  tracing/probe: Change traceprobe_set_print_fmt() to take a type
  tracing/probes: Use struct_size() instead of defining custom macros
  tracing/probes: Allow for dot delimiter as well as slash for system names
  tracing/probe: Have traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() take a const arg
  tracing: Have dynamic events have a ref counter
  tracing: Add DYNAMIC flag for dynamic events
  tracing: Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions.
  MAINTAINERS: Add an entry for os noise/latency
  tracepoint: Fix kerneldoc comments
  bootconfig/tracing/ktest: Update ktest example for boot-time tracing
  tools/bootconfig: Use per-group/all enable option in ftrace2bconf script
