Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Don't destroy user event fields when removal fails

   User event fields are destroyed before the event is removed from
   visibility. But that can fail leaving the still visible event with no
   fields. Move the destroying of the fields to after the event is
   successfully removed from visibility.

 - Initialize function graph state is fork before calling
   copy_exec_state()

   For non-CLONE_VM forks, copy_exec_state() allocates a new
   task_exec_state. If that allocation fails, ftrace_graph_exit_task()
   will free the tasks ret_stack pointer. Since that pointer is still
   using the parent's ret_stack, it mistakenly frees the parent's
   pointer too.

   Call ftrace_graph_init() on the task first which will NULL out the
   new tasks's ret_stack and if the copy fails, it will not free
   anything.

 - Remove FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX

   The macro FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX was added but never used. Remove it.

 - Save ent_size in function graph printing of nested functions

   The function graph tracer needs to look at the next event to see if
   the next event is the return of the current function entry. If it is,
   it prints a single line:

	ktime_get();

   Otherwise it prints it like a nested function:

	tick_nohz_irq_exit() {
	    ktime_get();
	    kcpustat_irq_exit();
	}

   In order to look at the next event, it must save the current event so
   that it has the information to print from it. It saves the event in
   the iterator descriptor called "ent". What it doesn't save is the
   ent_size of the event which is now used to know if the function graph
   arguments are to be printed. The peek doesn't save the size so the
   size used happens to be that of the size of the last event that was
   seen.

   Save the entry event size in the iterator descriptor so that the
   correct size is used.

 - Fix several errors with freeing data in the histogram code

   The histogram code had a lot of leaked or or incorrect accounting
   when failures happen. Correct them.

 - Fix histogram regression of .percent and .graph modifiers

   Up until 6.3 histogram values could have "percent" or "graph"
   modifiers that changed how they were printed. But a change that added
   restricting histograms values from being strings, stack traces and
   other modifiers inadvertently prevented them from using the percent
   and graph modifiers, which were legal use cases for values.

   Put back the percent and graph modifiers.

 - Fix various typos in the comments

 - Set the trace_clock before initializing a histogram with clock
   argument

   The histogram API allows the user to specific which trace clock to
   use via a "clock=" string. The histogram is set up first before the
   clock is checked. If the passed in clock is not valid, it exits
   without fully fixing up the histogram leaving it on the list and a
   use-after-free can trigger.

   Update the clock argument first and if it fails then exit gracefully
   before the histogram trigger is placed on any lists.

 - Restore :mod: trailer after parsing in ftrace_set_clr_event

   The function ftrace_set_clr_event() modifies the parse string and
   needs to put it back to what was passed in. It searches for ":mod:"
   via a strsep() but fails to put back the first ':' in the string.

   Add back the ':' in the passed in string.

 - Take trace_array reference when opening a tracer options file

   The options files are dynamically created and some tracers add their
   own options. When a tracer adds their own list of options, the
   trace_array holding them has an array to hold the list of options for
   each tracer. This array increases in size via a krealloc(), and the
   new entry gets a newly allocated array to hold the options of the new
   tracer being added.

   The element in each entry of the tracer's option array holds a
   pointer back to the trace_array, a pointer to the tracer it is
   associated to, a pointer to the flags of the option.

   The issue is that these arrays are freed when the trace_array is
   freed when its instance it represents is removed from the instances
   directory. There's a race that an open of one of these options files
   can happen when the instance is being removed.

   Add a new helper function to be called by the open function of the
   options file to iterate all existing trace_arrays under a lock and
   find the one that has the given option element in one of it's tracer
   arrays. If found, then update the associated trace_array's reference
   counter to keep it from being freed. If not found, have the open call
   return -ENODEV.

 - Disable interrupts when acquiring the lock in rb_wake_up_waiters()

   The function rb_wake_up_waiters() assumes it will be called in
   interrupt context and does not disable irqs when taking
   cpu_buffer-&gt;reader_lock, which can be called in hard interrupt
   context. The issue is in PREEMPT_RT, this function is called in
   thread context leaving this lock open to a deadlock.

   Take the lock with interrupts disabled.

 - Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash

   The tmp_ops used in update_ftrace_direct_mod() assigns its
   filter_hash field directly, but that field is annotated as __rcu and
   sparse complains. Assign it with rcu_assign_pointer()

 - Fix use-after-free in enable_trigger_private_data_free()

   The trace_event_call is accessed through the event_trigger_data's
   trace_event_file pointer to put the trace_event_call on freeing. The
   issue is that the trace_event_file data may have been freed already
   causing a use-after-free. Add a field to the event_trigger_data that
   points directly to the trace_event_call so that it can decrement its
   reference directly without needing to go through the
   trace_event_file.

 - Fix accounting of buffer data remote headers

   trace_buffer_desc_size() and trace_remote_alloc_buffer() undercount
   the number of pages is needed for the asked for size as it doesn't
   take into account the meta data on each page. Add a helper function
   to do the calculation properly and use that in these functions.

 - Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing

   The number of pages per remote ring buffer is capped by
   ring_buffer_desc::nr_page_va (32 bits). A buffer_size large enough to
   overflow that field would silently allocate a descriptor smaller than
   what was asked for.

 - Do not resize the subbuf order if any per_cpu buffer is disabled

   The mmapping of ring buffers disables resizing the subbuffers, but it
   is done per-cpu whereas the subbuf size change is done for all the
   per_cpu buffers under the buffer-&gt;mutex. It could change the size of
   some while the mapping is happening on others. Have the resize of the
   subbuf order check all the per_cpu buffers under the lock to see if
   any of them is disabled before starting and causing an inconsistency
   between buffers that are being mapped.

   trace_array holding them has an array to hold the list of options for
   each tracer. This array increases in size via a krealloc(), and the

   The element in each entry of the tracer's option array holds a
   pointer back to the trace_array, a pointer to the tracer it is
   associated to, a pointer to the flags of the option.

   The issue is that these arrays are freed when the trace_array is
   freed when its instance it represents is removed from the instances
   directory. There's a race that an open of one of these options files
   can happen when the instance is being removed.

   Add a new helper function to be called by the open function of the
   options file to iterate all existing trace_arrays under a lock and
   find the one that has the given option element in one of it's tracer
   arrays. If found, then update the associated trace_array's reference

Since commit c6b1b34b5090 ("media: pci: intel: Add CVS support for IPU
bridge driver") the internal camera no longer works on laptops where the
sensor sits behind an IVSC, for example a Dell XPS 16 9640 (IPU6,
INTC10CF, ov02c10):

  intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Found supported sensor OVTI02C1:00
  intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Connected 1 cameras
  ivsc_csi intel_vsc-92335fcf-3203-4472-af93-7b4453ac29da: mei-csi probed
      without device fwnode!

No sensor subdevice is registered, the media graph has no sensor entity
and userspace finds no camera at all.

ipu_bridge_get_ivsc_csi_dev() first looks for the platform device named
"intel_vsc" and returns its mei-csi child. That device is created by
mei_vsc, which on this machine only appears once the LJCA USB bridge and
its SPI controller have probed, about a second after the IPU6 probe that
runs the bridge:

  07:59:29.297  platform INTC10CF:00 created (ACPI scan)
  07:59:41      intel-ipu6 probe -&gt; ipu_bridge_init()
  07:59:42.391  platform intel_vsc created (mei_vsc)

The commit above added two fallbacks for CVS which match on the ACPI
companion alone. They are reached for every entry of ivsc_acpi_ids[],
IVSC IDs included. The IVSC ACPI device has two physical nodes:

  INTC10CF:00/physical_node  -&gt; platform/INTC10CF:00  (no driver bound)
  INTC10CF:00/physical_node1 -&gt; platform/intel_vsc    (mei_vsc)

so bus_find_device_by_acpi_dev(&amp;platform_bus_type, adev) returns the bare
platform device. ipu_bridge_instantiate_ivsc() then attaches the IVSC
software node to that device instead of to the mei-csi client, the bridge
reports success, and the probe is never retried. mei_csi later probes
without a fwnode, the CSI-2 link is never described, and the sensor ACPI
device, which has an honoured _DEP on the IVSC device, is never
enumerated.

Before those fallbacks existed the lookup returned NULL here, the bridge
failed with -ENODEV and the probe was retried once the IVSC device had
shown up.

Skip those fallbacks for IVSC devices, keying on the IVSC IDs rather than
the CVS ones: new CVS IDs keep being added, whereas the IVSC list is
complete. CVS binds a driver to the ACPI device itself, so matching on the
companion stays unambiguous there.

Some laptops carry a MediaTek power table in their firmware, and the
driver reads it to set a transmit limit for each frequency range.  It
only fills in the ranges themselves when it registers the device.

The startup step that does this existed already, but it never programmed
anything.  Two recent commits made it run a regulatory update instead,
which sets the limits on the way through, long before registration.

As a result, on a machine that has the table the driver reads through an
empty pointer and the interface never appears:

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000004
  RIP: 0010:mt792x_init_acpi_sar_power
  Call Trace:
   mt7921_set_tx_sar_pwr
   mt7921_mcu_regd_update
   mt7921_regd_update
   mt7921_run_firmware
   mt7921e_mcu_init
   mt7921_init_work

Skip it when the ranges are missing. They are applied again once the
device is up, which is where they came from before.

Treat an out-of-range CLC index as newer firmware rather than a
malformed image. linux-firmware 20260810 ships MT7922 records with
idx 3, and rejecting them made mt7921e fail to probe.

Keep the record-length checks, and report those as errors so a
truncated table is visible instead of a silent retry loop.

<title>ring-buffer: Check resize_disabled before publishing the new subbuf order</title>

ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() stores the new order and only then walks
the CPUs, returning -EBUSY if any of them has resizing disabled. A user
mapped buffer has resizing disabled, and __rb_map_vma() reads
buffer-&gt;subbuf_order without buffer-&gt;mutex, so an mmap of an already
mapped CPU racing the failing order change sizes the mapping with the
new order and inserts pages past the sub-buffer into the VMA.

Check the CPUs before storing the new order.

The number of pages per remote ring buffer is capped by
ring_buffer_desc::nr_page_va (32 bits). A buffer_size large enough to
overflow that field would silently allocate a descriptor smaller than
what was asked for.

Return SIZE_MAX from trace_buffer_desc_size() on nr_page_va overflow.

<title>tracing/remotes: Account for ring buffer page header in size calculation</title>

<content type='text'>
trace_buffer_desc_size() and trace_remote_alloc_buffer() undercount the
required pages because every ring buffer page contains a header
(BUF_PAGE_HDR_SIZE). Account for that header to ensure allocated remote
ring buffers aren't smaller than requested by the user.

The newly introduced helper __calc_nr_pages_ring_buffer_desc() can
return a value that overflows the descriptor nr_pages field (32 bits).
