commit c3b0f72e805f0801f05fa2aa52011c4bfc694c44 upstream.

ftrace_startup does not remove ops from ftrace_ops_list when
ftrace_startup_enable fails:

register_ftrace_function
  ftrace_startup
    __register_ftrace_function
      ...
      add_ftrace_ops(&amp;ftrace_ops_list, ops)
      ...
    ...
    ftrace_startup_enable // if ftrace failed to modify, ftrace_disabled is set to 1
    ...
  return 0 // ops is in the ftrace_ops_list.

When ftrace_disabled = 1, unregister_ftrace_function simply returns without doing anything:
unregister_ftrace_function
  ftrace_shutdown
    if (unlikely(ftrace_disabled))
            return -ENODEV;  // return here, __unregister_ftrace_function is not executed,
                             // as a result, ops is still in the ftrace_ops_list
    __unregister_ftrace_function
    ...

If ops is dynamically allocated, it will be free later, in this case,
is_ftrace_trampoline accesses NULL pointer:

is_ftrace_trampoline
  ftrace_ops_trampoline
    do_for_each_ftrace_op(op, ftrace_ops_list) // OOPS! op may be NULL!

commit b2380577d4fe1c0ef3fa50417f1e441c016e4cbe upstream.

Make filtering consistent with histograms. As "cpu" can be a field of an
event, allow for "common_cpu" to keep it from being confused with the
"cpu" field of the event.

commit ab8384442ee512fc0fc72deeb036110843d0e7ff upstream.

Both $comm and $COMM can be used to get current-&gt;comm in eprobes and the
filtering and histogram logic. Make kprobes and uprobes consistent in this
regard and allow both $comm and $COMM as well. Currently kprobes and
uprobes only handle $comm, which is inconsistent with the other utilities,
and can be confusing to users.

commit 6a832ec3d680b3a4f4fad5752672827d71bae501 upstream.

Currently, if a symbol "@" is attempted to be used with an event probe
(eprobes), it will cause a NULL pointer dereference crash.

Both kprobes and uprobes can reference data other than the main registers.
Such as immediate address, symbols and the current task name. Have eprobes
do the same thing.

For "comm", if "comm" is used and the event being attached to does not
have the "comm" field, then make it the "$comm" that kprobes has. This is
consistent to the way histograms and filters work.

commit f04dec93466a0481763f3b56cdadf8076e28bfbf upstream.

Currently when an event probe (eprobe) hooks to a string field, it does
not display it as a string, but instead as a number. This makes the field
rather useless. Handle the different kinds of strings, dynamic, static,
relational/dynamic etc.

Now when a string field is used, the ":string" type can be used to display
it:

  echo "e:sw sched/sched_switch comm=$next_comm:string" &gt; dynamic_events

<title>tracing/eprobes: Do not hardcode $comm as a string</title>

commit 02333de90e5945e2fe7fc75b15b4eb9aee187f0a upstream.

The variable $comm is hard coded as a string, which is true for both
kprobes and uprobes, but for event probes (eprobes) it is a field name. In
most cases the "comm" field would be a string, but there's no guarantee of
that fact.

Do not assume that comm is a string. Not to mention, it currently forces
comm fields to fault, as string processing for event probes is currently
broken.

commit 2673c60ee67e71f2ebe34386e62d348f71edee47 upstream.

While playing with event probes (eprobes), I tried to see what would
happen if I attempted to retrieve the instruction pointer (%rip) knowing
that event probes do not use pt_regs. The result was:

Obviously this is not the desired result.

Move the testing for TPARG_FL_TPOINT which is only used for event probes
to the top of the "$" variable check, as all the other variables are not
used for event probes. Also add a check in the register parsing "%" to
fail if an event probe is used.

<title>tracing/perf: Fix double put of trace event when init fails</title>

commit 7249921d94ff64f67b733eca0b68853a62032b3d upstream.

If in perf_trace_event_init(), the perf_trace_event_open() fails, then it
will call perf_trace_event_unreg() which will not only unregister the perf
trace event, but will also call the put() function of the tp_event.

The problem here is that the trace_event_try_get_ref() is called by the
caller of perf_trace_event_init() and if perf_trace_event_init() returns a
failure, it will then call trace_event_put(). But since the
perf_trace_event_unreg() already called the trace_event_put() function, it
triggers a WARN_ON().

 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 30309 at kernel/trace/trace_dynevent.c:46 trace_event_dyn_put_ref+0x15/0x20

If perf_trace_event_reg() does not call the trace_event_try_get_ref() then
the perf_trace_event_unreg() should not be calling trace_event_put(). This
breaks symmetry and causes bugs like these.

Pull out the trace_event_put() from perf_trace_event_unreg() and call it
in the locations that perf_trace_event_unreg() is called. This not only
fixes this bug, but also brings back the proper symmetry of the reg/unreg
vs get/put logic.

Trace the remapped operation and its flags instead of only the data

It was brought up that on ARMv7, that because the FUNCTION_TRACER does not
use nops to keep function tracing disabled because of the use of a link
register, it does have some performance impact.

The start of functions when -pg is used to compile the kernel is:

	push    {lr}
	bl      8010e7c0 &lt;__gnu_mcount_nc&gt;

When function tracing is tuned off, it becomes:

	push    {lr}
	add   sp, sp, #4

Which just puts the stack back to its normal location. But these two
instructions at the start of every function does incur some overhead.

Be more honest in the Kconfig FUNCTION_TRACER description and specify that
the overhead being in the noise was x86 specific, but other architectures
may vary.
