[ Upstream commit 54a16ff6f2e50775145b210bcd94d62c3c2af117 ]

As function_graph tracer can run when RCU is not "watching", it can not be
protected by synchronize_rcu() it requires running a task on each CPU before
it can be freed. Calling schedule_on_each_cpu(ftrace_sync) needs to be used.

[ Upstream commit 16052dd5bdfa16dbe18d8c1d4cde2ddab9d23177 ]

Because the function graph tracer can execute in sections where RCU is not
"watching", the rcu_dereference_sched() for the has needs to be open coded.
This is fine because the RCU "flavor" of the ftrace hash is protected by
its own RCU handling (it does its own little synchronization on every CPU
and does not rely on RCU sched).

commit 64ae572bc7d0060429e40e1c8d803ce5eb31a0d6 upstream.

Reading the sched_cmdline_ref and sched_tgid_ref initial state within
tracing_start_sched_switch without holding the sched_register_mutex is
racy against concurrent updates, which can lead to tracepoint probes
being registered more than once (and thus trigger warnings within
tracepoint.c).

<title>tracing: Fix histogram code when expression has same var as value</title>

commit 8bcebc77e85f3d7536f96845a0fe94b1dddb6af0 upstream.

While working on a tool to convert SQL syntex into the histogram language of
the kernel, I discovered the following bug:

 # echo 'first u64 start_time u64 end_time pid_t pid u64 delta' &gt;&gt; synthetic_events
 # echo 'hist:keys=pid:start=common_timestamp' &gt; events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
 # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:delta=common_timestamp-$start,start2=$start:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(first,$start2,common_timestamp,next_pid,$delta)' &gt; events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

Would not display any histograms in the sched_switch histogram side.

But if I were to swap the location of

  "delta=common_timestamp-$start" with "start2=$start"

Such that the last line had:

 # echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:start2=$start,delta=common_timestamp-$start:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(first,$start2,common_timestamp,next_pid,$delta)' &gt; events/sched/sched_switch/trigger

The histogram works as expected.

What I found out is that the expressions clear out the value once it is
resolved. As the variables are resolved in the order listed, when
processing:

  delta=common_timestamp-$start

The $start is cleared. When it gets to "start2=$start", it errors out with
"unresolved symbol" (which is silent as this happens at the location of the
trace), and the histogram is dropped.

When processing the histogram for variable references, instead of adding a
new reference for a variable used twice, use the same reference. That way,
not only is it more efficient, but the order will no longer matter in
processing of the variables.

From Tom Zanussi:

 "Just to clarify some more about what the problem was is that without
  your patch, we would have two separate references to the same variable,
  and during resolve_var_refs(), they'd both want to be resolved
  separately, so in this case, since the first reference to start wasn't
  part of an expression, it wouldn't get the read-once flag set, so would
  be read normally, and then the second reference would do the read-once
  read and also be read but using read-once.  So everything worked and
  you didn't see a problem:

   from: start2=$start,delta=common_timestamp-$start

  In the second case, when you switched them around, the first reference
  would be resolved by doing the read-once, and following that the second
  reference would try to resolve and see that the variable had already
  been read, so failed as unset, which caused it to short-circuit out and
  not do the trigger action to generate the synthetic event:

   to: delta=common_timestamp-$start,start2=$start

  With your patch, we only have the single resolution which happens
  correctly the one time it's resolved, so this can't happen."

commit de40f033d4e84e843d6a12266e3869015ea9097c upstream.

Have create_var_ref() manage the hist trigger's var_ref list, rather
than having similar code doing it in multiple places.  This cleans up
the code and makes sure var_refs are always accounted properly.

Also, document the var_ref-related functions to make what their
purpose clearer.

commit 656fe2ba85e81d00e4447bf77b8da2be3c47acb2 upstream.

Since every var ref for a trigger has an entry in the var_ref[] array,
use that to destroy the var_refs, instead of piecemeal via the field
expressions.

This allows us to avoid having to keep and treat differently separate
lists for the action-related references, which future patches will
remove.

commit aeed8aa3874dc15b9d82a6fe796fd7cfbb684448 upstream.

With CONFIG_PROVE_RCU_LIST, I had many suspicious RCU warnings
when I ran ftracetest trigger testcases.

-----
  # dmesg -c &gt; /dev/null
  # ./ftracetest test.d/trigger
  ...
  # dmesg | grep "RCU-list traversed" | cut -f 2 -d ] | cut -f 2 -d " "

  kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c:539
  kernel/trace/trace_events_trigger.c:584
-----

I investigated those warnings and found that the RCU-list
traversals in event trigger and hist didn't need to use
RCU version because those were called only under event_mutex.

I also checked other RCU-list traversals related to event
trigger list, and found that most of them were called from
event_hist_trigger_func() or hist_unregister_trigger() or
register/unregister functions except for a few cases.

Replace these unneeded RCU-list traversals with normal list
traversal macro and lockdep_assert_held() to check the
event_mutex is held.

<title>tracing: Have stack tracer compile when MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE is not defined</title>

commit b8299d362d0837ae39e87e9019ebe6b736e0f035 upstream.

On some archs with some configurations, MCOUNT_INSN_SIZE is not defined, and
this makes the stack tracer fail to compile. Just define it to zero in this
case.
