User programs can now ask user_events to handle the synchronization of
multiple different formats for an event with the same name via the new
USER_EVENT_REG_MULTI_FORMAT flag.
Add a section for USER_EVENT_REG_MULTI_FORMAT that explains the intended
purpose and caveats of using it. Explain how deletion works in these
cases and how to use /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events for per-version
deletion.

- Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created
Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can
use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care about the
thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the sub-system to specify
what sub-systems of events it cares about, and only those events are exposed
to this instance.
- Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than just the
architecture page size. A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb"
is created. The user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be
in kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the sub-buffer
size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user only writes in
kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to the next size that
it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in 10, it will change the
size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is the next available size that
can hold 10K pages.
- Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring buffer.
If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a debug config
options that will dump the contents of the meta data of the sub-buffer that
is used for debugging. Add some more information to this dump that helps
with debugging.
- Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is enabled)
- Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes.
- Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just under
2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold).
- Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can hold.
- Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has been
removed.
- More selftests were added.
- Some code clean ups as well.

Using page order for deciding what the size of the ring buffer sub buffers
are is exposing a bit too much of the implementation. Although the sub
buffers are only allocated in orders of pages, allow the user to specify
the minimum size of each sub-buffer via kilobytes like they can with the
buffer size itself.
If the user specifies 3 via:
echo 3 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb
Then the sub-buffer size will round up to 4kb (on a 4kb page size system).
If they specify:
echo 6 > buffer_subbuf_size_kb
The sub-buffer size will become 8kb.
and so on.

This reference uses a glob pattern to match multiple files, but the
asterisk was escaped as \* in order to not be interpreted by sphinx
as reStructuredText markup.
refcheckdocs/documentation-file-ref-check doesn't know about rST syntax
and tries to interpret the \* literally (instead of as a glob).
We can work around the warning by putting the Documentation reference
inside double backticks (``..``), which allows us to not escape the

- Remove eventfs_file descriptor
This is the biggest change, and the second part of making eventfs
create its files dynamically.
In 6.6 the first part was added, and that maintained a one to one
mapping between eventfs meta descriptors and the directories and
file inodes and dentries that were dynamically created. The
directories were represented by a eventfs_inode and the files
were represented by a eventfs_file.
In v6.7 the eventfs_file is removed. As all events have the same
directory make up (sched_switch has an "enable", "id", "format",
etc files), the handing of what files are underneath each leaf
eventfs directory is moved back to the tracing subsystem via a
callback. When a event is added to the eventfs, it registers
an array of evenfs_entry's. These hold the names of the files and
the callbacks to call when the file is referenced. The callback gets
the name so that the same callback may be used by multiple files.
The callback then supplies the filesystem_operations structure needed
to create this file.
This has brought the memory footprint of creating multiple eventfs
instances down by 2 megs each!
- User events now has persistent events that are not associated
to a single processes. These are privileged events that hang around
even if no process is attached to them.
- Clean up of seq_buf.
There's talk about using seq_buf more to replace strscpy() and friends.
But this also requires some minor modifications of seq_buf to be
able to do this.
- Expand instance ring buffers individually
Currently if boot up creates an instance, and a trace event is
enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the
top level ring buffer are expanded (1.4 MB per CPU). This wastes
memory as this happens when nothing is using the top level instance.
- Other minor clean ups and fixes.

This isolate_mode_t flag is effectively unused since 89f6c88a6a ("mm:
__isolate_lru_page_prepare() in isolate_migratepages_block()") as
sc->may_unmap is now checked directly (and only node_reclaim has a mode
that sets it to 0). The last remaining place is mm_vmscan_lru_isolate
tracepoint for the isolate_mode parameter. That one was mainly used to
indicate the active/inactive mode, which the trace-vmscan-postprocess.pl
script consumed, but that got silently broken. After fixing the script by
the previous patch, it does not need the isolate_mode anymore. So just
remove the parameter and with that the whole ISOLATE_UNMAPPED flag.

The script has fallen behind tracepoint changes for a while, fix it up.
Most changes are mechanical (renames, removal of tracepoint parameters
that are not used by the script). More notable change involves
mm_vmscan_lru_isolate which is relying on the isolate_mode to determine if
the inactive list is being scanned. However the parameter currently only
indicates ISOLATE_UNMAPPED. We can use the lru parameter instead to
determine which list is scanned, and stop checking isolate_mode.

Users need to know how to make events persist now that we allow for
that. We also now allow the dynamic_events file to create events by
utilizing the persist flag during event register.
Add back in to documentation how /sys/kernel/tracing/dynamic_events can
be used to create persistent user_events. Add a section under registering
for the currently supported flags (USER_EVENT_REG_PERSIST) and the
required permissions. Add a note under deleting that deleting a
persistent event also requires sufficient permission.

User visible changes:
- Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:
# echo 'cpumask & CPUS{17-42}' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ipi_send_cpumask/filter
- Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer size via
buffer_size_kb. Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual
size rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.
Major changes:
- Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and dentries of
tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of events, and each event
has several inodes and dentries that currently exist even when tracing is
never used, they take up precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate
the inodes and dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There
is now metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will create
the inodes and dentries when they are used.
Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data, but will
wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's a little more
complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code works properly before
adding more complexity, making it easier to revert if need be.
Minor changes:
- Optimization to user event list traversal.
- Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the intermediate
permission removes all access to the files so it is not a security concern,
but just a clean up.)
- Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event logic.

Going a step further, we propose a way to use any user-space
workload as the task waiting for the timerlat timer. This is done
via a per-CPU file named osnoise/cpu$id/timerlat_fd file.
The tracef_fd allows a task to open at a time. When a task reads
the file, the timerlat timer is armed for future osnoise/timerlat_period_us
time. When the timer fires, it prints the IRQ latency and
wakes up the user-space thread waiting in the timerlat_fd.
The thread then starts to run, executes the timerlat measurement, prints
the thread scheduling latency and returns to user-space.
When the thread rereads the timerlat_fd, the tracer will print the
user-ret(urn) latency, which is an additional metric.
This additional metric is also traced by the tracer and can be used, for
example of measuring the context switch overhead from kernel-to-user and
user-to-kernel, or the response time for an arbitrary execution in
user-space.
The tracer supports one thread per CPU, the thread must be pinned to
the CPU, and it cannot migrate while holding the timerlat_fd. The reason
is that the tracer is per CPU (nothing prohibits the tracer from
allowing migrations in the future). The tracer monitors the migration
of the thread and disables the tracer if detected.
The timerlat_fd is only available for opening/reading when timerlat
tracer is enabled, and NO_OSNOISE_WORKLOAD is set.
The simplest way to activate this feature from user-space is:
-------------------------------- %< -----------------------------------
int main(void)
{
char buffer[1024];
int timerlat_fd;
int retval;
long cpu = 0; /* place in CPU 0 */
cpu_set_t set;
CPU_ZERO(&set);
CPU_SET(cpu, &set);
if (sched_setaffinity(gettid(), sizeof(set), &set) == -1)
return 1;
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer),
"/sys/kernel/tracing/osnoise/per_cpu/cpu%ld/timerlat_fd",
cpu);
timerlat_fd = open(buffer, O_RDONLY);
if (timerlat_fd < 0) {
printf("error opening %s: %s\n", buffer, strerror(errno));
exit(1);
}
for (;;) {
retval = read(timerlat_fd, buffer, 1024);
if (retval < 0)
break;
}
close(timerlat_fd);
exit(0);
}
-------------------------------- >% -----------------------------------
When disabling timerlat, if there is a workload holding the timerlat_fd,
the SIGKILL will be sent to the thread.

Adding new available_filter_functions_addrs file that shows all available
functions (same as available_filter_functions) together with addresses,
like:
# cat available_filter_functions_addrs | head
ffffffff81000770 __traceiter_initcall_level
ffffffff810007c0 __traceiter_initcall_start
ffffffff81000810 __traceiter_initcall_finish
ffffffff81000860 trace_initcall_finish_cb
...
Note displayed address is the patch-site address and can differ from
/proc/kallsyms address.
It's useful to have address avilable for traceable symbols, so we don't
need to allways cross check kallsyms with available_filter_functions
(or the other way around) and have all the data in single file.
For backwards compatibility reasons we can't change the existing
available_filter_functions file output, but we need to add new file.
The problem is that we need to do 2 passes:
- through available_filter_functions and find out if the function is traceable
- through /proc/kallsyms to get the address for traceable function
Having available_filter_functions symbols together with addresses allow
us to skip the kallsyms step and we are ok with the address in
available_filter_functions_addr not being the function entry, because
kprobe_multi uses fprobe and that handles both entry and patch-site
address properly.
We have 2 interfaces how to create kprobe_multi link:
a) passing symbols to kernel
1) user gathers symbols and need to ensure that they are
trace-able -> pass through available_filter_functions file
2) kernel takes those symbols and translates them to addresses
through kallsyms api
3) addresses are passed to fprobe/ftrace through:
register_fprobe_ips
-> ftrace_set_filter_ips
b) passing addresses to kernel
1) user gathers symbols and needs to ensure that they are
trace-able -> pass through available_filter_functions file
2) user takes those symbols and translates them to addresses
through /proc/kallsyms
3) addresses are passed to the kernel and kernel calls:
register_fprobe_ips
-> ftrace_set_filter_ips
The new available_filter_functions_addrs file helps us with option b),
because we can make 'b 1' and 'b 2' in one step - while filtering traceable
functions, we get the address directly.

The PTT can only filter the traced TLP headers by the Root Ports or the
Requester ID of the Endpoint, which are located on the same PCIe core of
the PTT device. The filter value used is derived from the BDF number of
the supported Root Port or the Endpoint. It's not friendly enough for the
users since it requires the user to be familiar enough with the platform
and calculate the filter value manually.
This patch export the available filters through sysfs. Each available
filters is presented as an individual file with the name of the BDF
number of the related PCIe device. The files are created under
$(PTT PMU dir)/available_root_port_filters and
$(PTT PMU dir)/available_requester_filters respectively. The filter
value can be known by reading the related file.
Then the users can easily know the available filters for trace and get
the filter values without calculating.

The histogram and synthetic events can use a pseudo event called
"stacktrace" that will create a stacktrace at the time of the event and
use it just like it was a normal field. We have other pseudo events such
as "common_cpu" and "common_timestamp". To stay consistent with that,
convert "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace". As this was used in older
kernels, to keep backward compatibility, this will act just like
"common_cpu" did with "cpu". That is, "cpu" will be the same as
"common_cpu" unless the event has a "cpu" field. In which case, the
event's field is used. The same is true with "stacktrace".

- Make buffer_percent read/write. The buffer_percent file is how users can
state how long to block on the tracing buffer depending on how much
is in the buffer. When it hits the "buffer_percent" it will wake the
task waiting on the buffer. For some reason it was set to read-only.
This was not noticed because testing was done as root without SELinux,
but with SELinux it will prevent even root to write to it without having
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE.
- The "touched_functions" was added this merge window, but one of the
reasons for adding it was not implemented. That was to show what functions
were not only touched, but had either a direct trampoline attached to
it, or a kprobe or live kernel patching that can "hijack" the function
to run a different function. The point is to know if there's functions
in the kernel that may not be behaving as the kernel code shows. This can
be used for debugging. TODO: Add this information to kernel oops too.

* tag 'trace-v6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
ftrace: Add MODIFIED flag to show if IPMODIFY or direct was attached
tracing: Fix permissions for the buffer_percent file
If a function had ever had IPMODIFY or DIRECT attached to it, where this
is how live kernel patching and BPF overrides work, mark them and display
an "M" in the enabled_functions and touched_functions files. This can be
used for debugging. If a function had been modified and later there's a bug
in the code related to that function, this can be used to know if the cause
is possibly from a live kernel patch or a BPF program that changed the
behavior of the code.
Also update the documentation on the enabled_functions and
touched_functions output, as it was missing direct callers and CALL_OPS.
And include this new modify attribute.

- User events are finally ready!
After lots of collaboration between various parties, we finally locked
down on a stable interface for user events that can also work with user
space only tracing. This is implemented by telling the kernel (or user
space library, but that part is user space only and not part of this
patch set), where the variable is that the application uses to know if
something is listening to the trace. There's also an interface to tell
the kernel about these events, which will show up in the
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/user_events/ directory, where it can be
enabled. When it's enabled, the kernel will update the variable, to tell
the application to start writing to the kernel.
See https://lwn.net/Articles/927595/
- Cleaned up the direct trampolines code to simplify arm64 addition of
direct trampolines. Direct trampolines use the ftrace interface but
instead of jumping to the ftrace trampoline, applications (mostly BPF)
can register their own trampoline for performance reasons.
- Some updates to the fprobe infrastructure. fprobes are more efficient than
kprobes, as it does not need to save all the registers that kprobes on
ftrace do. More work needs to be done before the fprobes will be exposed
as dynamic events.
- More updates to references to the obsolete path of
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing for the new /sys/kernel/tracing path.
- Add a seq_buf_do_printk() helper to seq_bufs, to print a large buffer line
by line instead of all at once. There's users in production kernels that
have a large data dump that originally used printk() directly, but the
data dump was larger than what printk() allowed as a single print.
Using seq_buf() to do the printing fixes that.
- Add /sys/kernel/tracing/touched_functions that shows all functions that
was every traced by ftrace or a direct trampoline. This is used for
debugging issues where a traced function could have caused a crash by
a bpf program or live patching.
- Add a "fields" option that is similar to "raw" but outputs the fields of
the events. It's easier to read by humans.
- Some minor fixes and clean ups.
