Pull ring-buffer fix from Steven Rostedt:

 - Do not allow mmapped ring buffer to be split

   When the ring buffer VMA is split by a partial munmap or a MAP_FIXED,
   the kernel calls vm_ops-&gt;close() on each portion. This causes the
   ring_buffer_unmap() to be called multiple times. This causes
   subsequent calls to return -ENODEV and triggers a warning.

   There's no reason to allow user space to split up memory mapping of
   the ring buffer. Have it return -EINVAL when that happens.

When a VMA is split (e.g., by partial munmap or MAP_FIXED), the kernel
calls vm_ops-&gt;close on each portion. For trace buffer mappings, this
results in ring_buffer_unmap() being called multiple times while
ring_buffer_map() was only called once.

This causes ring_buffer_unmap() to return -ENODEV on subsequent calls
because user_mapped is already 0, triggering a WARN_ON.

Trace buffer mappings cannot support partial mappings because the ring
buffer structure requires the complete buffer including the meta page.

Fix this by adding a may_split callback that returns -EINVAL to prevent
VMA splits entirely.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Check for reader catching up in ring_buffer_map_get_reader()

   If the reader catches up to the writer in the memory mapped ring
   buffer then calling rb_get_reader_page() will return NULL as there's
   no pages left. But this isn't checked for before calling
   rb_get_reader_page() and the return of NULL causes a warning.

   If it is detected that the reader caught up to the writer, then
   simply exit the routine

 - Fix memory leak in histogram create_field_var()

   The couple of the error paths in create_field_var() did not properly
   clean up what was allocated. Make sure everything is freed properly
   on error

 - Fix help message of tools latency_collector

   The help message incorrectly stated that "-t" was the same as
   "--threads" whereas "--threads" is actually represented by "-e"

The function create_field_var() allocates memory for 'val' through
create_hist_field() inside parse_atom(), and for 'var' through
create_var(), which in turn allocates var-&gt;type and var-&gt;var.name
internally. Simply calling kfree() to release these structures will
result in memory leaks.

Use destroy_hist_field() to properly free 'val', and explicitly release
the memory of var-&gt;type and var-&gt;var.name before freeing 'var' itself.

The function ring_buffer_map_get_reader() is a bit more strict than the
other get reader functions, and except for certain situations the
rb_get_reader_page() should not return NULL. If it does, it triggers a
warning.

This warning was triggering but after looking at why, it was because
another acceptable situation was happening and it wasn't checked for.

If the reader catches up to the writer and there's still data to be read
on the reader page, then the rb_get_reader_page() will return NULL as
there's no new page to get.

In this situation, the reader page should not be updated and no warning
should trigger.

__unregister_trace_fprobe() checks tf-&gt;tuser to put it when removing

unregister_fprobe(). Thus it forgets to disable tracepoint_user.

If the trace_fprobe has tuser, put it for unregistering the tracepoint

Since __tracepoint_user_init() calls tracepoint_user_register() without
initializing tuser-&gt;tpoint with given tracpoint, it does not register
tracepoint stub function as callback correctly, and tprobe does not work.

Initializing tuser-&gt;tpoint correctly before tracepoint_user_register()
so that it sets up tracepoint callback.

I confirmed below example works fine again.

ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() checks IPMODIFY and DIRECT ftrace_ops on
the same kernel function. When needed, ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable()
calls ops-&gt;ops_func() to prepare the direct ftrace (BPF trampoline) to
share the same function as the IPMODIFY ftrace (livepatch).

ftrace_hash_ipmodify_enable() is called in register_ftrace_direct() path,
but not called in modify_ftrace_direct() path. As a result, the following
operations will break livepatch:

1. Load livepatch to a kernel function;
2. Attach fentry program to the kernel function;
3. Attach fexit program to the kernel function.

After 3, the kernel function being used will not be the livepatched
version, but the original version.

Fix this by adding __ftrace_hash_update_ipmodify() to
__modify_ftrace_direct() and adjust some logic around the call.

<title>ftrace: Fix BPF fexit with livepatch</title>

When livepatch is attached to the same function as bpf trampoline with
a fexit program, bpf trampoline code calls register_ftrace_direct()
twice. The first time will fail with -EAGAIN, and the second time it
will succeed. This requires register_ftrace_direct() to unregister
the address on the first attempt. Otherwise, the bpf trampoline cannot
attach. Here is an easy way to reproduce this issue:

  insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.ko
  bpftrace -e 'fexit:cmdline_proc_show {}'
  ERROR: Unable to attach probe: fexit:vmlinux:cmdline_proc_show...

Fix this by cleaning up the hash when register_ftrace_function_nolock hits
errors.

Also, move the code that resets ops-&gt;func and ops-&gt;trampoline to the error
path of register_ftrace_direct(); and add a helper function reset_direct()
in register_ftrace_direct() and unregister_ftrace_direct().
