The current folio_test_hugetlb() can be fooled by a concurrent folio split
into returning true for a folio which has never belonged to hugetlbfs. 
This can't happen if the caller holds a refcount on it, but we have a few
places (memory-failure, compaction, procfs) which do not and should not
take a speculative reference.

Since hugetlb pages do not use individual page mapcounts (they are always
fully mapped and use the entire_mapcount field to record the number of
mappings), the PageType field is available now that page_mapcount()
ignores the value in this field.

In compaction and with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, the current implementation
can result in an oops, as reported by Luis. This happens since 9c5ccf2db04b
("mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR") effectively added some VM_BUG_ON() checks
in the PageHuge() testing path.

The rpcgss_context trace event acceptor field is a dynamically sized
string that records the "data" parameter. But this parameter is also
dependent on the "len" field to determine the size of the data.

It needs to use __string_len() helper macro where the length can be passed
in. It also incorrectly uses strncpy() to save it instead of
__assign_str(). As these macros can change, it is not wise to open code
them in trace events.

As of commit c759e609030c ("tracing: Remove __assign_str_len()"),
__assign_str() can be used for both __string() and __string_len() fields.
Before that commit, __assign_str_len() is required to be used. This needs
to be noted for backporting. (In actuality, commit c1fa617caeb0 ("tracing:
Rework __assign_str() and __string() to not duplicate getting the string")
is the commit that makes __string_str_len() obsolete).

<title>tracing: Just use strcmp() for testing __string() and __assign_str() match</title>

<content type='text'>
As __assign_str() no longer uses its "src" parameter, there's a check to
make sure nothing depends on it being different than what was passed to
__string(). It originally just compared the pointer passed to __string()
with the pointer passed into __assign_str() via the "src" parameter. But
there's a couple of outliers that just pass in a quoted string constant,
where comparing the pointers is UB to the compiler, as the compiler is
free to create multiple copies of the same string constant.

Instead, just use strcmp(). It may slow down the trace event, but this
will eventually be removed.

Also, fix the issue of passing NULL to strcmp() by adding a WARN_ON() to
make sure that both "src" and the pointer saved in __string() are either
both NULL or have content, and then checking if "src" is not NULL before
performing the strcmp().

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Main user visible change:

   - User events can now have "multi formats"

     The current user events have a single format. If another event is
     created with a different format, it will fail to be created. That
     is, once an event name is used, it cannot be used again with a
     different format. This can cause issues if a library is using an
     event and updates its format. An application using the older format
     will prevent an application using the new library from registering
     its event.

     A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event
     names, and it creates events with different formats.

     The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single
     format. Both the event name and its format are the unique
     identifier. This will allow two different applications to use the
     same user event name but with different payloads.

   - Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and
     not just the main top level tracing buffer.

  Other changes:

   - Add eventfs_root_inode

     Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away)
     and stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands
     of other eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set
     in its descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a
     eventfs_inode descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root
     inode will use this.

   - Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs

     There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be
     hit, but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to
     make sure that they are never hit.

   - Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid
     array

     The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to
     hold its mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already
     apart of it: map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory
     can be saved by also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as
     well.

   - Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in
     TRACE_EVENT()

     Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with:

         __string(name, source)

     And assigned with:

        __assign_str(name, source)

     In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to
     get the size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and
     __assign_str() is used to copy the string into the ring buffer.
     There's a helper structure that is created in the TRACE_EVENT()
     macro logic that will hold the string length and its position in
     the ring buffer which is created by __string().

     There are several trace events that have a function to create the
     string to save. This function is executed twice. Once for
     __string() and again for __assign_str(). There's no reason for
     this. The helper structure could also save the string it used in
     __string() and simply copy that into __assign_str() (it also
     already has its length).

     By using the structure to store the source string for the
     assignment, it means that the second argument to __assign_str() is
     no longer needed.

     It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a
     warning if the source string given to __string() is different than
     the source string given to __assign_str(), as the source to
     __assign_str() isn't even used and will be going away.

   - Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the
     source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the
     next merge window.

     Included fixes that the above check found.

   - Other minor clean ups and fixes"

     next merge window.

     Included fixes that the above check found.

The __string() helper macro of the TRACE_EVENT() macro is used to
determine how much of the ring buffer needs to be allocated to fit the
given source string. Some trace events have a string that is dependent on
another variable that could be NULL, and in those cases the string is
passed in to be NULL.

The __string() macro can handle being passed in a NULL pointer for which
it will turn it into "(null)". It does that with:

  strlen((src) ? (const char *)(src) : "(null)") + 1

But if src itself has the same conditional type it can confuse the
compiler. That is:

  __string(r ? dev(r)-&gt;name : NULL)

Would turn into:

 strlen((r ? dev(r)-&gt;name : NULL) ? (r ? dev(r)-&gt;name : NULL) : "(null)" + 1

For which the compiler thinks that NULL is being passed to strlen() and
gives this kind of warning:

./include/trace/stages/stage5_get_offsets.h:50:21: warning: argument 1 null where non-null expected [-Wnonnull]
   50 |                     strlen((src) ? (const char *)(src) : "(null)") + 1)

Instead, create a static inline function that takes the src string and
will return the string if it is not NULL and will return "(null)" if it
is. This will then make the strlen() line:

 strlen(__string_src(src)) + 1

Where the compiler can see that strlen() will not end up with NULL and
does not warn about it.

Note that this depends on commit 51270d573a8d ("tracing/net_sched: Fix
tracepoints that save qdisc_dev() as a string") being applied, as passing
the qdisc_dev() into __string_src() will give an error.

<title>tracing: Use strcmp() in __assign_str() WARN_ON() check</title>

The WARN_ON() check in __assign_str() to catch where the source variable
to the macro doesn't match the source variable to __string() gives an
error in clang:

&gt;&gt; include/trace/events/sunrpc.h:703:4: warning: result of comparison against a string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string comparison function instead) [-Wstring-compare]
     670 |                         __assign_str(progname, "unknown");

That's because the __assign_str() macro has:

   WARN_ON_ONCE((src) != __data_offsets.dst##_ptr_);

Where "src" is a string literal. Clang warns when comparing a string
literal directly as it is undefined to what the value of the literal is.

Since this is still to make sure the same string that goes to __string()
is the same as __assign_str(), for string literals do a test for that and
then use strcmp() in those cases

Note that this depends on commit 51270d573a8d ("tracing/net_sched: Fix
tracepoints that save qdisc_dev() as a string") being applied, as this was
what found that bug.

<title>tracing: Remove second parameter to __assign_rel_str()</title>

The second parameter of __assign_rel_str() is no longer used. It can be removed.

Note, the only real users of rel_string is user events. This code is just
in the sample code for testing purposes.

This makes __assign_rel_str() different than __assign_str() but that's
fine. __assign_str() is used over 700 places and has a larger impact. That
change will come later.

In preparation to remove the second parameter of __assign_str(), make sure
it is really a duplicate of __string() by adding a WARN_ON_ONCE().
