commit 499f12168aebd6da8fa32c9b7d6203ca9b5eb88d upstream.

The print fmt check against trace events to make sure that the format does
not use pointers that may be freed from the time of the trace to the time
the event is read, gives a false positive on %pISpc when reading data that
was saved in __get_dynamic_array() when it is perfectly fine to do so, as
the data being read is on the ring buffer.

<title>sched/tracing: Append prev_state to tp args instead</title>

Commit fa2c3254d7cf (sched/tracing: Don't re-read p-&gt;state when emitting
sched_switch event, 2022-01-20) added a new prev_state argument to the
sched_switch tracepoint, before the prev task_struct pointer.

This reordering of arguments broke BPF programs that use the raw
tracepoint (e.g. tp_btf programs). The type of the second argument has
changed and existing programs that assume a task_struct* argument
(e.g. for bpf_task_storage access) will now fail to verify.

If we instead append the new argument to the end, all existing programs
would continue to work and can conditionally extract the prev_state
argument on supported kernel versions.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the
   kernel describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a
   byte in a page mapping that it can check against. A privileged task
   can then enable that event like any other event, which will change
   the mapped byte to true, telling the user space application to start
   writing the event to the tracing buffer.

 - Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When
   set, the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot
   up when the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep
   the traces that happened at boot up available even if user space boot
   up has tracing as well.

 - Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type
   descriptions. Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum,
   the user space trace event parsers can still know how to parse that
   array.

 - Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
   TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This
   will make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not
   be stuck at only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.

 - Fixes to tracing error logging.

 - Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events
   for mapping).

<id>795301d3c28996219d555023ac6863401b6076bc</id>

When an enum is used in the visible parts of a trace event that is
exported to user space, the user space applications like perf and
trace-cmd do not have a way to know what the value of the enum is. To
solve this, at boot up (or module load) the printk formats are modified to
replace the enum with their numeric value in the string output.

Array fields of the event are defined by [&lt;nr-elements&gt;] in the type
portion of the format file so that the user space parsers can correctly
parse the array into the appropriate size chunks. But in some trace
events, an enum is used in defining the size of the array, which once
again breaks the parsing of user space tooling.

This was solved the same way as the print formats were, but it modified
the type strings of the trace event. This caused crashes in some
architectures because, as supposed to the print string, is a const string
value. This was not detected on x86, as it appears that const strings are
still writable (at least in boot up), but other architectures this is not
the case, and writing to a const string will cause a kernel fault.

To fix this, use kstrdup() to copy the type before modifying it. If the
trace event is for the core kernel there's no need to free it because the
string will be in use for the life of the machine being on line. For
modules, create a link list to store all the strings being allocated for
modules and when the module is removed, free them.

The macro TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM is used to convert enums in the kernel to
their actual value when they are exported to user space via the trace
event format file.

Currently only the enums in the "print fmt" (TP_printk in the TRACE_EVENT
macro) have the enums converted. But the enums can be used to denote array
size:

        field:unsigned int fc_ineligible_rc[EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX]; offset:12;      size:36;        signed:0;

The EXT4_FC_REASON_MAX has no meaning to userspace but it needs to know
that information to know how to parse the array.

Have the array indexes also be parsed as well.

<title>tracing: Allow custom events to be added to the tracefs directory</title>

<id>8bcd06632b73291e8734f46084ed04f4106b840a</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow custom events to be added to the events directory in the tracefs
file system. For example, a module could be installed that attaches to an
event and wants to be enabled and disabled via the tracefs file system. It
would use trace_add_event_call() to add the event to the tracefs
directory, and trace_remove_event_call() to remove it.

Make both those functions EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

Allow custom events to be added to the events directory in the tracefs
file system. For example, a module could be installed that attaches to an
event and wants to be enabled and disabled via the tracefs file system. It
would use trace_add_event_call() to add the event to the tracefs
directory, and trace_remove_event_call() to remove it.

Make both those functions EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL().

<title>sched/tracing: Don't re-read p-&gt;state when emitting sched_switch event</title>

As of commit

  c6e7bd7afaeb ("sched/core: Optimize ttwu() spinning on p-&gt;on_cpu")

the following sequence becomes possible:

		      p-&gt;__state = TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE;
		      __schedule()
			deactivate_task(p);
  ttwu()
    READ !p-&gt;on_rq
    p-&gt;__state=TASK_WAKING
			trace_sched_switch()
			  __trace_sched_switch_state()
			    task_state_index()
			      return 0;

TASK_WAKING isn't in TASK_REPORT, so the task appears as TASK_RUNNING in
the trace event.

Prevent this by pushing the value read from __schedule() down the trace
event.

<title>tracing: Update print fmt check to handle new __get_sockaddr() macro</title>

<id>c6ced22997ad56a05377221bded7bb30973a62f2</id>
<content type='text'>
A helper macro was added to make reading socket addresses easier in trace
events. It pairs %pISpc with __get_sockaddr() that reads the socket
address from the ring buffer into a human readable format.

The boot up check that makes sure that trace events do not reference
pointers to memory that can later be freed when the trace event is read,
incorrectly flagged this as a delayed reference. Update the check to
handle "__get_sockaddr" and not report an error on it.

Since the same warning message is already printed in the
trace_create_file() function, there is no need to print it again.
