Setting filters on an ftrace ops results in some memory being allocated
for the filter hashes, which must be freed before the ops can be freed.
This can be done by removing every individual element of the hash by
calling ftrace_set_filter_ip() or ftrace_set_filter_ips() with `remove`
set, but this is somewhat error prone as it's easy to forget to remove
an element.

Make it easier to clean this up by exporting ftrace_free_filter(), which
can be used to clean up all of the filter hashes after an ftrace_ops has
been unregistered.

Using this, fix the ftrace-direct* samples to free hashes prior to being
unloaded. All other code either removes individual filters explicitly or
is built-in and already calls ftrace_free_filter().

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Add options to the osnoise tracer:
      - 'panic_on_stop' option that panics the kernel if osnoise is
        greater than some user defined threshold.
      - 'preempt' option, to test noise while preemption is disabled
      - 'irq' option, to test noise when interrupts are disabled

 - Add .percent and .graph suffix to histograms to give different
   outputs

 - Add nohitcount to disable showing hitcount in histogram output

 - Add new __cpumask() to trace event fields to annotate that a unsigned
   long array is a cpumask to user space and should be treated as one.

 - Add trace_trigger kernel command line parameter to enable trace event
   triggers at boot up. Useful to trace stack traces, disable tracing
   and take snapshots.

 - Fix x86/kmmio mmio tracer to work with the updates to lockdep

 - Unify the panic and die notifiers

 - Add back ftrace_expect reference that is used to extract more
   information in the ftrace_bug() code.

 - Have trigger filter parsing errors show up in the tracing error log.

 - Updated MAINTAINERS file to add kernel tracing mailing list and
   patchwork info

 - Use IDA to keep track of event type numbers.

 - And minor fixes and clean ups

The function match_records() may take a while due to a large
number of string comparisons, so when in PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
kernels we could face RCU stalls due to that.

Add a cond_resched() to prevent that.

 "The highlights this time are support for dynamically enabling and
  disabling Clang's Shadow Call Stack at boot and a long-awaited
  optimisation to the way in which we handle the SVE register state on
  system call entry to avoid taking unnecessary traps from userspace.

  Summary:

  ACPI:
   - Enable FPDT support for boot-time profiling
   - Fix CPU PMU probing to work better with PREEMPT_RT
   - Update SMMUv3 MSI DeviceID parsing to latest IORT spec
   - APMT support for probing Arm CoreSight PMU devices

  CPU features:
   - Advertise new SVE instructions (v2.1)
   - Advertise range prefetch instruction
   - Advertise CSSC ("Common Short Sequence Compression") scalar
     instructions, adding things like min, max, abs, popcount
   - Enable DIT (Data Independent Timing) when running in the kernel
   - More conversion of system register fields over to the generated
     header

  CPU misfeatures:
   - Workaround for Cortex-A715 erratum #2645198

  Dynamic SCS:
   - Support for dynamic shadow call stacks to allow switching at
     runtime between Clang's SCS implementation and the CPU's pointer
     authentication feature when it is supported (complete with scary
     DWARF parser!)

  Tracing and debug:
   - Remove static ftrace in favour of, err, dynamic ftrace!
   - Seperate 'struct ftrace_regs' from 'struct pt_regs' in core ftrace
     and existing arch code
   - Introduce and implement FTRACE_WITH_ARGS on arm64 to replace the
     old FTRACE_WITH_REGS
   - Extend 'crashkernel=' parameter with default value and fallback to
     placement above 4G physical if initial (low) allocation fails

  SVE:
   - Optimisation to avoid disabling SVE unconditionally on syscall
     entry and just zeroing the non-shared state on return instead

  Exceptions:
   - Rework of undefined instruction handling to avoid serialisation on
     global lock (this includes emulation of user accesses to the ID
     registers)

  Perf and PMU:
   - Support for TLP filters in Hisilicon's PCIe PMU device
   - Support for the DDR PMU present in Amlogic Meson G12 SoCs
   - Support for the terribly-named "CoreSight PMU" architecture from
     Arm (and Nvidia's implementation of said architecture)

  Misc:
   - Tighten up our boot protocol for systems with memory above 52 bits
     physical
   - Const-ify static keys to satisty jump label asm constraints
   - Trivial FFA driver cleanups in preparation for v1.1 support
   - Export the kernel_neon_* APIs as GPL symbols
   - Harden our instruction generation routines against instrumentation
   - A bunch of robustness improvements to our arch-specific selftests
   - Minor cleanups and fixes all over (kbuild, kprobes, kfence, PMU, ...)"

    The list func (ftrace_ops_list_func) will be patched first
    before the transition between old and new calls are set,
    which fixed the race described in this commit `59338f75`.

    While ftrace_trace_function changes from the list func to a
    ftrace_ops func, like unregistering the klp_ops to leave the only
    global_ops in ftrace_ops_list, the ftrace_[regs]_call will be
    replaced with the list func although it already exists. So there
    should be a condition to avoid this.

And suggested using another variable to keep track of what the ftrace
function is set to. But this could be simplified by using a helper
function that does the same with a static variable.

<title>ftrace: pass fregs to arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller()</title>

<id>9705bc70960459ae09f4a5e77283973bb3a40f57</id>
<content type='text'>
In subsequent patches we'll arrange for architectures to have an
ftrace_regs which is entirely distinct from pt_regs. In preparation for
this, we need to minimize the use of pt_regs to where strictly
necessary in the core ftrace code.

This patch changes the prototype of arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() to
take ftrace_regs rather than pt_regs, and moves the extraction of the
pt_regs into arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller().

On x86, arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() can be used even when
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n, and &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt; defines
struct ftrace_regs. Due to this, it's necessary to define
arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() as a macro to avoid using an incomplete
type. I've also moved the body of arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() after
the CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=y defineidion of struct
ftrace_regs.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

In subsequent patches we'll arrange for architectures to have an
ftrace_regs which is entirely distinct from pt_regs. In preparation for
this, we need to minimize the use of pt_regs to where strictly
necessary in the core ftrace code.

This patch changes the prototype of arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() to
take ftrace_regs rather than pt_regs, and moves the extraction of the
pt_regs into arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller().

On x86, arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() can be used even when
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n, and &lt;linux/ftrace.h&gt; defines
struct ftrace_regs. Due to this, it's necessary to define
arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() as a macro to avoid using an incomplete
type. I've also moved the body of arch_ftrace_set_direct_caller() after
the CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=y defineidion of struct
ftrace_regs.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

The @ftrace_mod is allocated by kzalloc(), so both the members {prev,next}
of @ftrace_mode-&gt;list are NULL, it's not a valid state to call list_del().
If kstrdup() for @ftrace_mod-&gt;{func|module} fails, it goes to @out_free
tag and calls free_ftrace_mod() to destroy @ftrace_mod, then list_del()
will write prev-&gt;next and next-&gt;prev, where null pointer dereference
happens.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
Oops: 0002 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI
