Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Another small bug reported to me by Chunyu Hu.

  When perf added a "reg" function to the function tracing event (not a
  tracepoint), it caused that event to be displayed as a tracepoint and
  could cause errors in tracepoint handling.  That was solved by adding
  a flag to ignore ftrace non-tracepoint events.  But that flag was
  missed when displaying events in available_events, which should only
  contain tracepoint events.

  This broke a documented way to enable all events with:

      cat available_events &gt; set_event

  As the function non-tracepoint event would cause that to error out.
  The commit here fixes that by having the available_events file not
  list events that have the ignore flag set"

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.

Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a -&gt;reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.

Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.

One documented way to enable all events is to:

 cat available_events &gt; set_event

But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:

 cat: write error: Invalid argument

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
 "Two more small fixes.

  One is by Yang Shi who added a READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() to the scan of the
  stack made by the stack tracer.  As the stack tracer scans the entire
  kernel stack, KASAN triggers seeing it as a "stack out of bounds"
  error.  As the scan is looking at the contents of the stack from
  parent functions.  The NOCHECK() tells KASAN that this is done on
  purpose, and is not some kind of stack overflow.

  The second fix is to the ftrace selftests, to retrieve the PID of
  executed commands from the shell with '$!' and not by parsing 'jobs'"

The stacker tracer traverses the whole kernel stack when saving the max stack
trace. It may touch the stack red zones to cause the warning. So, just disable
the instrumentation to silence the warning.

Pull livepatching fixes from Jiri Kosina:

 - regression (from 4.4) fix for ordering issue, introduced by an
   earlier ftrace change, that broke live patching of modules.

   The fix replaces the ftrace module notifier by direct call in order
   to make the ordering guaranteed and well-defined.  The patch, from
   Jessica Yu, has been acked both by Steven and Rusty

 - error message fix from Miroslav Benes

Remove the ftrace module notifier in favor of directly calling
ftrace_module_enable() and ftrace_release_mod() in the module loader.
Hard-coding the function calls directly in the module loader removes
dependence on the module notifier call chain and provides better
visibility and control over what gets called when, which is important
to kernel utilities such as livepatch.

This fixes a notifier ordering issue in which the ftrace module notifier
(and hence ftrace_module_enable()) for coming modules was being called
after klp_module_notify(), which caused livepatch modules to initialize
incorrectly. This patch removes dependence on the module notifier call
chain in favor of hard coding the corresponding function calls in the
module loader. This ensures that ftrace and livepatch code get called in
the correct order on patch module load and unload.

Pull perf fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is much bigger than typical fixes, but Peter found a category of
  races that spurred more fixes and more debugging enhancements.  Work
  started before the merge window, but got finished only now.

  Aside of that this contains the usual small fixes to perf and tools.
  Nothing particular exciting"

* 'perf-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (43 commits)
  perf: Remove/simplify lockdep annotation
  perf: Synchronously clean up child events
  perf: Untangle 'owner' confusion
  perf: Add flags argument to perf_remove_from_context()
  perf: Clean up sync_child_event()
  perf: Robustify event-&gt;owner usage and SMP ordering
  perf: Fix STATE_EXIT usage
  perf: Update locking order
  perf: Remove __free_event()

<title>tracing/stacktrace: Show entire trace if passed in function not found</title>

When a max stack trace is discovered, the stack dump is saved. In order to
not record the overhead of the stack tracer, the ip of the traced function
is looked for within the dump. The trace is started from the location of
that function. But if for some reason the ip is not found, the entire stack
trace is then truncated. That's not very useful. Instead, print everything
if the ip of the traced function is not found within the trace.

This issue showed up on s390.
