Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The updates included in this pull request for ftrace are:

   o Several clean ups to the code

     One such clean up was to convert to 64 bit time keeping, in the
     ring buffer benchmark code.

   o Adding of __print_array() helper macro for TRACE_EVENT()

   o Updating the sample/trace_events/ to add samples of different ways
     to make trace events.  Lots of features have been added since the
     sample code was made, and these features are mostly unknown.
     Developers have been making their own hacks to do things that are
     already available.

   o Performance improvements.  Most notably, I found a performance bug
     where a waiter that is waiting for a full page from the ring buffer
     will see that a full page is not available, and go to sleep.  The
     sched event caused by it going to sleep would cause it to wake up
     again.  It would see that there was still not a full page, and go
     back to sleep again, and that would wake it up again, until finally
     it would see a full page.  This change has been marked for stable.

  Other improvements include removing global locks from fast paths"

tracing_init_dentry() will soon return NULL as a valid pointer for the
top level tracing directroy. NULL can not be used as an error value.
Instead, switch to ERR_PTR() and check the return status with
IS_ERR().

<title>ftrace: Check both notrace and filter for old hash</title>

Using just the filter for checking for trampolines or regs is not enough
when updating the code against the records that represent all functions.
Both the filter hash and the notrace hash need to be checked.

To trigger this bug (using trace-cmd and perf):

 # perf probe -a do_fork
 # trace-cmd start -B foo -e probe
 # trace-cmd record -p function_graph -n do_fork sleep 1

The trace-cmd record at the end clears the filter before it disables
function_graph tracing and then that causes the accounting of the
ftrace function records to become incorrect and causes ftrace to bug.

<title>ftrace: Fix updating of filters for shared global_ops filters</title>

<id>8f86f83709c585742dea5dd7f0d2b79c43f992ec</id>
<content type='text'>
As the set_ftrace_filter affects both the function tracer as well as the
function graph tracer, the ops that represent each have a shared
ftrace_ops_hash structure. This allows both to be updated when the filter
files are updated.

But if function graph is enabled and the global_ops (function tracing) ops
is not, then it is possible that the filter could be changed without the
update happening for the function graph ops. This will cause the changes
to not take place and may even cause a ftrace_bug to occur as it could mess
with the trampoline accounting.

The solution is to check if the ops uses the shared global_ops filter and
if the ops itself is not enabled, to check if there's another ops that is
enabled and also shares the global_ops filter. In that case, the
modification still needs to be executed.

<title>ftrace, kprobes: Support IPMODIFY flag to find IP modify conflict</title>

<id>f8b8be8a310a55856fd2c369dade08088d85df3b</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce FTRACE_OPS_FL_IPMODIFY to avoid conflict among
ftrace users who may modify regs-&gt;ip to change the execution
path. If two or more users modify the regs-&gt;ip on the same
function entry, one of them will be broken. So they must add
IPMODIFY flag and make sure that ftrace_set_filter_ip() succeeds.

Note that ftrace doesn't allow ftrace_ops which has IPMODIFY
flag to have notrace hash, and the ftrace_ops must have a
filter hash (so that the ftrace_ops can hook only specific
entries), because it strongly depends on the address and
must be allowed for only few selected functions.

Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address
on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address
kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true
if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls
is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs
to module code.

But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines.
These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that
call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a
stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they
are neither core kernel code nor module address space.

Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of
the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called
is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a
dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines
that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with
the core_kernel_text() function.

Using seq_printf to print a simple string or a single character is a
lot more expensive than it needs to be, since seq_puts and seq_putc
exist.

These patches do

  seq_printf(m, s) -&gt; seq_puts(m, s)
  seq_printf(m, "%s", s) -&gt; seq_puts(m, s)
  seq_printf(m, "%c", c) -&gt; seq_putc(m, c)

Subsequent patches will simplify further.

<title>ftrace: Have the control_ops get a trampoline</title>

With the new logic, if only a single user of ftrace function hooks is
used, it will get its own trampoline assigned to it.

The problem is that the control_ops is an indirect ops that perf ops
uses. What that means is that when perf registers its ops with
register_ftrace_function(), it has the CONTROL flag set and gets added
to the control list instead of the global ftrace list. The control_ops
gets added to that instead and the mcount trampoline calls the control_ops
function. The control_ops function will iterate the control list and
call the ops functions that are attached to it.

But currently the trampoline is added to the perf ops and not the
control ops, and when ftrace tries to find a trampoline hook for it,
it fails to find one and gives the following splat:

 Bad trampoline accounting at: ffffffff810001c8 (run_init_process+0x0/0x2d) (10000001)

With the new logic, if only a single user of ftrace function hooks is
used, it will get its own trampoline assigned to it.

The problem is that the control_ops is an indirect ops that perf ops
uses. What that means is that when perf registers its ops with
register_ftrace_function(), it has the CONTROL flag set and gets added
to the control list instead of the global ftrace list. The control_ops
gets added to that instead and the mcount trampoline calls the control_ops
function. The control_ops function will iterate the control list and
call the ops functions that are attached to it.

But currently the trampoline is added to the perf ops and not the
control ops, and when ftrace tries to find a trampoline hook for it,
it fails to find one and gives the following splat:

<title>ftrace: Add more information to ftrace_bug() output</title>

With the introduction of the dynamic trampolines, it is useful that if
things go wrong that ftrace_bug() produces more information about what
the current state is. This can help debug issues that may arise.

Ftrace has lots of checks to make sure that the state of the system it
touchs is exactly what it expects it to be. When it detects an abnormality
it calls ftrace_bug() and disables itself to prevent any further damage.
It is crucial that ftrace_bug() produces sufficient information that
can be used to debug the situation.
