<title>tracing: probeevent: Fix to support minus offset from symbol</title>

In Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt, it says

 @SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)

However, the parser doesn't parse minus offset correctly, since
commit 2fba0c8867af ("tracing/kprobes: Fix probe offset to be
unsigned") drops minus ("-") offset support for kprobe probe
address usage.

This fixes the traceprobe_split_symbol_offset() to parse minus
offset again with checking the offset range, and add a minus
offset check in kprobe probe address usage.

<title>error-injection: Separate error-injection from kprobe</title>

<content type='text'>
Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.

Some differences has been made:

- "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures.
- BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to
  ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this
  feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
  error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.

Compare instruction pointer with original one on the
stack instead using per-cpu bpf_kprobe_override flag.

This patch also consolidates reset_current_kprobe() and
preempt_enable_no_resched() blocks. Those can be done
in one place.

<title>tracing/kprobe: bpf: Check error injectable event is on function entry</title>

Check whether error injectable event is on function entry or not.
Currently it checks the event is ftrace-based kprobes or not,
but that is wrong. It should check if the event is on the entry
of target function. Since error injection will override a function
to just return with modified return value, that operation must
be done before the target function starts making stackframe.

As a side effect, bpf error injection is no need to depend on
function-tracer. It can work with sw-breakpoint based kprobe
events too.

Things got moved around between the original bpf_override_return patches
and the final version, and now the ftrace kprobe dispatcher assumes if
you modified the ip that you also enabled preemption.  Make a comment of
this and enable preemption, this fixes the lockdep splat that happened
when using this feature.

Error injection is sloppy and very ad-hoc.  BPF could fill this niche
perfectly with it's kprobe functionality.  We could make sure errors are
only triggered in specific call chains that we care about with very
specific situations.  Accomplish this with the bpf_override_funciton
helper.  This will modify the probe'd callers return value to the
specified value and set the PC to an override function that simply
returns, bypassing the originally probed function.  This gives us a nice
clean way to implement systematic error injection for all of our code
paths.

<title>bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for a single perf event</title>

<id>e87c6bc3852b981e71c757be20771546ce9f76f3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch enables multiple bpf attachments for a
kprobe/uprobe/tracepoint single trace event.
Each trace_event keeps a list of attached perf events.
When an event happens, all attached bpf programs will
be executed based on the order of attachment.

A global bpf_event_mutex lock is introduced to protect
prog_array attaching and detaching. An alternative will
be introduce a mutex lock in every trace_event_call
structure, but it takes a lot of extra memory.
So a global bpf_event_mutex lock is a good compromise.

The bpf prog detachment involves allocation of memory.
If the allocation fails, a dummy do-nothing program
will replace to-be-detached program in-place.
