[ Upstream commit 1ebe1eaf2f02784921759992ae1fde1a9bec8fd0 ]

Since enums do not get converted by the TRACE_EVENT macro into their values,
the event format displaces the enum name and not the value. This breaks
tools like perf and trace-cmd that need to interpret the raw binary data. To
solve this, an enum map was created to convert these enums into their actual
numbers on boot up. This is done by TRACE_EVENTS() adding a
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro.

Some enums were not being converted. This was caused by an optization that
had a bug in it.

All calls get checked against this enum map to see if it should be converted
or not, and it compares the call's system to the system that the enum map
was created under. If they match, then they call is processed.

To cut down on the number of iterations needed to find the maps with a
matching system, since calls and maps are grouped by system, when a match is
made, the index into the map array is saved, so that the next call, if it
belongs to the same system as the previous call, could start right at that
array index and not have to scan all the previous arrays.

The problem was, the saved index was used as the variable to know if this is
a call in a new system or not. If the index was zero, it was assumed that
the call is in a new system and would keep incrementing the saved index
until it found a matching system. The issue arises when the first matching
system was at index zero. The next map, if it belonged to the same system,
would then think it was the first match and increment the index to one. If
the next call belong to the same system, it would begin its search of the
maps off by one, and miss the first enum that should be converted. This left
a single enum not converted properly.

Also add a comment to describe exactly what that index was for. It took me a
bit too long to figure out what I was thinking when debugging this issue.

[ Upstream commit 854145e0a8e9a05f7366d240e2f99d9c1ca6d6dd ]

Currently register functions for events will be called
through the 'reg' field of event class directly without
any check when seting up triggers.

Triggers for events that don't support register through
debug fs (events under events/ftrace are for trace-cmd to
read event format, and most of them don't have a register
function except events/ftrace/functionx) can't be enabled
at all, and an oops will be hit when setting up trigger
for those events, so just not creating them is an easy way
to avoid the oops.

<title>tracing: Fix showing function event in available_events</title>

[ Upstream commit d045437a169f899dfb0f6f7ede24cc042543ced9 ]

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.

Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a -&gt;reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.

Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.

One documented way to enable all events is to:

 cat available_events &gt; set_event

But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:

 cat: write error: Invalid argument

 "This adds three fixes for the tracing code.

  The second fix is bad parsing of the trace_events from the kernel

  The last one is a fix to the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), where a check was

The code that replaces the enum names with the enum values in the
tracepoints' format files could possible miss the end of string nul
character. This was caused by processing things like backslashes, quotes
and other tokens. After processing the tokens, a check for the nul
character needed to be done before continuing the loop, because the loop
incremented the pointer before doing the check, which could bypass the nul
character.

There is a problem that trace events are not properly enabled with
boot cmdline. The problem is that if we pass "trace_event=kmem:mm_page_alloc"
to the boot cmdline, it enables all kmem trace events, and not just
the page_alloc event.

This is caused by the parsing mechanism. When we parse the cmdline, the buffer
contents is modified due to tokenization. And, if we use this buffer
again, we will get the wrong result.

Unfortunately, this buffer is be accessed three times to set trace events
properly at boot time. So, we need to handle this situation.

There is already code handling ",", but we need another for ":".
This patch adds it.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
  of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.

  Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
  __print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
  displayed as a a human comprehensible text.  What is placed in the
  TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user
  space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and
  express the values too.  Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
  macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
  much exactly as is.  The problem arises when enums are used.  That's
  because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by
  the C pre-processor.  Thus, the enum string is exported to the format
  file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.

  The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in
  the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to
  user space.  For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this
  in its format file:

     __print_symbolic(REC-&gt;reason,
        { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
        { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
        { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })

  After adding:

     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
     TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);

  Its format file will contain this:

     __print_symbolic(REC-&gt;reason,
        { 0, "flush on task switch" },
        { 1, "remote shootdown" },
        { 2, "local shootdown" },
        { 3, "local mm shootdown" })"

Update the infrastructure such that modules that declare TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM()
will have those enums converted into their values in the tracepoint
print fmt strings.
