When the inode is being dropped from the dentry, the TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE
flag needs to be cleared to prevent a remount from calling
eventfs_remount() on the tracefs_inode private data. There's a race
between the inode is dropped (and the dentry freed) to where the inode is
actually freed. If a remount happens between the two, the eventfs_inode
could be accessed after it is freed (only the dentry keeps a ref count on
it).
Currently the TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE flag is cleared from the dentry iput()
function. But this is incorrect, as it is possible that the inode has
another reference to it. The flag should only be cleared when the inode is
really being dropped and has no more references. That happens in the
drop_inode callback of the inode, as that gets called when the last
reference of the inode is released.
Remove the tracefs_d_iput() function and move its logic to the more
appropriate tracefs_drop_inode() callback function.

When a remount happens, if a gid or uid is specified update the inodes to
have the same gid and uid. This will allow the simplification of the
permissions logic for the dynamically created files and directories.

If the instances directory's permissions were never change, then have it
and its children use the mount point permissions as the default.
Currently, the permissions of instance directories are determined by the
instance directory's permissions itself. But if the tracefs file system is
remounted and changes the permissions, the instance directory and its
children should use the new permission.
But because both the instance directory and its children use the instance
directory's inode for permissions, it misses the update.
To demonstrate this:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# mkdir instances/foo
# ls -ld instances/foo
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer
# mount -o remount,gid=1002 .
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 18:57 instances
# ls -ld instances/foo/
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:07 instances/foo/
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 18:57 current_tracer
Notice that changing the group id to that of "lkp" did not affect the
instances directory nor its children. It should have been:
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer
# ls -ld instances/foo/
drwxr-x--- 5 root root 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root root 0 May 1 19:19 instances
# mount -o remount,gid=1002 .
# ls -ld current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 current_tracer
# ls -ld instances
drwxr-x--- 3 root lkp 0 May 1 19:19 instances
# ls -ld instances/foo/
drwxr-x--- 5 root lkp 0 May 1 19:25 instances/foo/

There's an inconsistency with the way permissions are handled in tracefs.
Because the permissions are generated when accessed, they default to the
root inode's permission if they were never set by the user. If the user
sets the permissions, then a flag is set and the permissions are saved via
the inode (for tracefs files) or an internal attribute field (for
eventfs).
But if a remount happens that specify the permissions, all the files that
were not changed by the user gets updated, but the ones that were are not.
If the user were to remount the file system with a given permission, then
all files and directories within that file system should be updated.
This can cause security issues if a file's permission was updated but the
admin forgot about it. They could incorrectly think that remounting with
permissions set would update all files, but miss some.
For example:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# chgrp 1002 current_tracer
# ls -l
[..]
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_subbuf_size_kb
-r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_total_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:25 current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 dynamic_events
-r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 dyn_ftrace_total_info
-r--r----- 1 root root 0 May 1 21:25 enabled_functions
Where current_tracer now has group "lkp".
# mount -o remount,gid=1001 .
# ls -l
-rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_subbuf_size_kb
-r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 buffer_total_size_kb
-rw-r----- 1 root lkp 0 May 1 21:25 current_tracer
-rw-r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 dynamic_events
-r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 dyn_ftrace_total_info
-r--r----- 1 root tracing 0 May 1 21:25 enabled_functions
Everything changed but the "current_tracer".
Add a new link list that keeps track of all the tracefs_inodes which has
the permission flags that tell if the file/dir should use the root inode's
permission or not. Then on remount, clear all the flags so that the
default behavior of using the root inode's permission is done for all
files and directories.

In order for the dentries to stay up-to-date with the eventfs changes,
just add a 'd_revalidate' function that checks the 'is_freed' bit.
Also, clean up the dentry release to actually use d_release() rather
than the slightly odd d_iput() function. We don't care about the inode,
all we want to do is to get rid of the refcount to the eventfs data
added by dentry->d_fsdata.
It would probably be cleaner to make eventfs its own filesystem, or at
least set its own dentry ops when looking up eventfs files. But as it
is, only eventfs dentries use d_fsdata, so we don't really need to split
these things up by use.
Another thing that might be worth doing is to make all eventfs lookups
mark their dentries as not worth caching. We could do that with
d_delete(), but the DCACHE_DONTCACHE flag would likely be even better.
As it is, the dentries are all freeable, but they only tend to get freed
at memory pressure rather than more proactively. But that's a separate
issue.

The dentry lookup for eventfs files was very broken, and had lots of
signs of the old situation where the filesystem names were all created
statically in the dentry tree, rather than being looked up dynamically
based on the eventfs data structures.
You could see it in the naming - how it claimed to "create" dentries
rather than just look up the dentries that were given it.
You could see it in various nonsensical and very incorrect operations,
like using "simple_lookup()" on the dentries that were passed in, which
only results in those dentries becoming negative dentries. Which meant
that any other lookup would possibly return ENOENT if it saw that
negative dentry before the data was then later filled in.
You could see it in the immense amount of nonsensical code that didn't
actually just do lookups.

eventfs uses the tracefs_inode and assumes that it's already initialized
to zero. That is, it doesn't set fields to zero (like ti->private) after
getting its tracefs_inode. This causes bugs due to stale values.
Just initialize the entire structure to zero on allocation so there isn't
any more surprises.
This is a partial fix to access to ti->private. The assignment still needs
to be made before the dentry is instantiated.

Instead of walking the dentries on mount/remount to update the gid values of
all the dentries if a gid option is specified on mount, just update the root
inode. Add .getattr, .setattr, and .permissions on the tracefs inode
operations to update the permissions of the files and directories.
For all files and directories in the top level instance:
/sys/kernel/tracing/*
It will use the root inode as the default permissions. The inode that
represents: /sys/kernel/tracing (or wherever it is mounted).
When an instance is created:
mkdir /sys/kernel/tracing/instance/foo
The directory "foo" and all its files and directories underneath will use
the default of what foo is when it was created. A remount of tracefs will
not affect it.
If a user were to modify the permissions of any file or directory in
tracefs, it will also no longer be modified by a change in ownership of a
remount.
The events directory, if it is in the top level instance, will use the
tracefs root inode as the default ownership for itself and all the files and
directories below it.
For the events directory in an instance ("foo"), it will keep the ownership
of what it was when it was created, and that will be used as the default
ownership for the files and directories beneath it.

If a getdents() is called on the tracefs directory but does not get all
the files, it can leave a "cursor" dentry in the d_subdirs list of tracefs
dentry. This cursor dentry does not have a d_inode for it. Before
referencing tracefs_inode from the dentry, the d_inode must first be
checked if it has content. If not, then it's not a tracefs_inode and can
be ignored.
The following caused a crash:
#define getdents64(fd, dirp, count) syscall(SYS_getdents64, fd, dirp, count)
#define BUF_SIZE 256
#define TDIR "/tmp/file0"
int main(void)
{
char buf[BUF_SIZE];
int fd;
int n;
mkdir(TDIR, 0777);
mount(NULL, TDIR, "tracefs", 0, NULL);
fd = openat(AT_FDCWD, TDIR, O_RDONLY);
n = getdents64(fd, buf, BUF_SIZE);
ret = mount(NULL, TDIR, NULL, MS_NOSUID|MS_REMOUNT|MS_RELATIME|MS_LAZYTIME,
"gid=1000");
return 0;
}
That's because the 256 BUF_SIZE was not big enough to read all the
dentries of the tracefs file system and it left a "cursor" dentry in the
subdirs of the tracefs root inode. Then on remounting with "gid=1000",
it would cause an iteration of all dentries which hit:
ti = get_tracefs(dentry->d_inode);
if (ti && (ti->flags & TRACEFS_EVENT_INODE))
eventfs_update_gid(dentry, gid);
Which crashed because of the dereference of the cursor dentry which had a NULL
d_inode.
In the subdir loop of the dentry lookup of set_gid(), if a child has a
NULL d_inode, simply skip it.

It was reported that when mounting the tracefs file system with a gid
other than root, the ownership did not carry down to the eventfs directory
due to the dynamic nature of it.
A fix was done to solve this, but it had two issues.
(a) if the attr passed into update_inode_attr() was NULL, it didn't do
anything. This is true for files that have not had a chown or chgrp
done to itself or any of its sibling files, as the attr is allocated
for all children when any one needs it.

(b) When the attr does not denote the UID or GID, it defaulted to using
the parent uid or gid. This is incorrect as changing the parent
uid or gid will automatically change all its children.

At first it was thought that this could be easily fixed by just making the
default ownership of the superblock when it was mounted. But this does not
handle the case of:
# chgrp tracing instances
# mkdir instances/foo
If the superblock was used, then the group ownership would be that of what
it was when it was mounted, when it should instead be "tracing".
Instead, set a flag for the top level eventfs directory ("events") to flag
which eventfs_inode belongs to it.
Since the "events" directory's dentry and inode are never freed, it does
not need to use its attr field to restore its mode and ownership. Use the
this eventfs_inode's attr as the default ownership for all the files and
directories underneath it.
When the events eventfs_inode is created, it sets its ownership to its
parent uid and gid. As the events directory is created at boot up before
it gets mounted, this will always be uid=0 and gid=0. If it's created via
an instance, then it will take the ownership of the instance directory.
When the file system is mounted, it will update all the gids if one is
specified. This will have a callback to update the events evenfs_inode's
default entries.
When a file or directory is created under the events directory, it will
walk the ei->dentry parents until it finds the evenfs_inode that belongs
to the events directory to retrieve the default uid and gid values.

- 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

enabled on that instance, the ring buffer for that instance and the

Merge tag 'trace-v6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- 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 an 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

Instead of having a descriptor for every file represented in the eventfs
directory, only have the directory itself represented. Change the API to
send in a list of entries that represent all the files in the directory
(but not other directories). The entry list contains a name and a callback
function that will be used to create the files when they are accessed.
struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_events_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent,
const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
int size, void *data);
is used for the top level eventfs directory, and returns an eventfs_inode
that will be used by:
struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct eventfs_inode *parent,
const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
int size, void *data);
where both of the above take an array of struct eventfs_entry entries for
every file that is in the directory.
The entries are defined by:
typedef int (*eventfs_callback)(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data,
const struct file_operations **fops);
struct eventfs_entry {
const char *name;
eventfs_callback callback;
};
Where the name is the name of the file and the callback gets called when
the file is being created. The callback passes in the name (in case the
same callback is used for multiple files), a pointer to the mode, data and
fops. The data will be pointing to the data that was passed in
eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() but may be overridden
to point to something else, as it will be used to point to the
inode->i_private that is created. The information passed back from the
callback is used to create the dentry/inode.
If the callback fills the data and the file should be created, it must
return a positive number. On zero or negative, the file is ignored.
This logic may also be used as a prototype to convert entire pseudo file
systems into just-in-time allocation.
The "show_events_dentry" file has been updated to show the directories,
and any files they have.
With just the eventfs_file allocations:

Currently when rmdir on an instance is done, eventfs_remove_events_dir()
is called and it does a dput on the dentry and then frees the
eventfs_inode that represents the events directory.
But there's no protection against a reader reading the top level events
directory at the same time and we can get a use after free error. Instead,
use the dput() associated to the dentry to also free the eventfs_inode
associated to the events directory, as that will get called when the last
reference to the directory is released.

The function tracefs_create_dir() was missing a lockdown check and was
called by the RV code. This gave an inconsistent behavior of this function
returning success while other tracefs functions failed. This caused the
inode being freed by the wrong kmem_cache.

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.
- Other minor clean ups.

Right now inode->i_mode is updated twice to reach the desired value
in tracefs_apply_options(). Because there is no lock protecting the two
writes, other threads might read the intermediate value of inode->i_mode.
Thread-1 Thread-2
// tracefs_apply_options() //e.g., acl_permission_check
inode->i_mode &= ~S_IALLUGO;
unsigned int mode = inode->i_mode;
inode->i_mode |= opts->mode;
I think there is no need to introduce a lock but it is better to
only update inode->i_mode ONCE, so the readers will either see the old
or latest value, rather than an intermediate/temporary value.
Note, the race is not a security concern as the intermediate value is more
locked down than either the start or end version. This is more just to do
the conversion cleanly.

Up until now, /sys/kernel/tracing/events was no different than any other
part of tracefs. The files and directories within the events directory was
created when the tracefs was mounted, and also created for the instances in
/sys/kernel/tracing/instances/<instance>/events. Most of these files and
directories will never be referenced. Since there are thousands of these
files and directories they spend their time wasting precious memory
resources.
Move the "events" directory to the new eventfs. The eventfs will take the
meta data of the events that they represent and store that. When the files
in the events directory are referenced, the dentry and inodes to represent
them are then created. When the files are no longer referenced, they are
freed. This saves the precious memory resources that were wasted on these
seldom referenced dentries and inodes.

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

As people have been asking to allow non-root processes to have access to
the tracefs directory, it was considered best to only allow groups to have
access to the directory, where it is easier to just set the tracefs file
system to a specific group (as other would be too dangerous), and that way
the admins could pick which processes would have access to tracefs.
Unfortunately, this broke tooling on Android that expected the other bit
to be set. For some special cases, for non-root tools to trace the system,
tracefs would be mounted and change the permissions of the top level
directory which gave access to all running tasks permission to the
tracing directory. Even though this would be dangerous to do in a
production environment, for testing environments this can be useful.
Now with the new changes to not allow other (which is still the proper
thing to do), it breaks the testing tooling. Now more code needs to be
loaded on the system to change ownership of the tracing directory.
The real solution is to have tracefs honor the gid=xxx option when
mounting. That is,
(tracing group tracing has value 1003)
mount -t tracefs -o gid=1003 tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing
should have it that all files in the tracing directory should be of the
given group.
Copy the logic from d_walk() from dcache.c and simplify it for the mount
case of tracefs if gid is set. All the files in tracefs will be walked and
their group will be set to the value passed in.

The tracefs file system is by default mounted such that only root user can
access it. But there are legitimate reasons to create a group and allow
those added to the group to have access to tracing. By changing the
permissions of the tracefs mount point to allow access, it will allow
group access to the tracefs directory.
There should not be any real reason to allow all access to the tracefs
directory as it contains sensitive information. Have the default
permission of directories being created not have any OTH (other) bits set,
such that an admin that wants to give permission to a group has to first
disable all OTH bits in the file system.

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

I bisected this down to the addition of the proxy_ops into tracefs for
lockdown. It appears that the allocation of the proxy_ops and then freeing
it in the destroy_inode callback, is causing havoc with the memory system.
Reading the documentation about destroy_inode and talking with Linus about
this, this is buggy and wrong. When defining the destroy_inode() method, it
is expected that the destroy_inode() will also free the inode, and not just
the extra allocations done in the creation of the inode. The faulty commit
causes a memory leak of the inode data structure when they are deleted.
Instead of allocating the proxy_ops (and then having to free it) the checks
should be done by the open functions themselves, and not hack into the
tracefs directory. First revert the tracefs updates for locked_down and then
later we can add the locked_down checks in the kernel/trace files.

Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
"This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.
From the original description:
This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
to not requiring external patches.
There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
- Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
- Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
permitted.
The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
overriden by kernel configuration.
New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
include/linux/security.h for details.
The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.
Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5cf ("bpf: Restrict bpf
when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
this under category (c) of the DCO"
* 'next-lockdown' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security: (31 commits)
kexec: Fix file verification on S390
security: constify some arrays in lockdown LSM
lockdown: Print current->comm in restriction messages
efi: Restrict efivar_ssdt_load when the kernel is locked down
tracefs: Restrict tracefs when the kernel is locked down
debugfs: Restrict debugfs when the kernel is locked down
kexec: Allow kexec_file() with appropriate IMA policy when locked down
lockdown: Lock down perf when in confidentiality mode
bpf: Restrict bpf when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode
lockdown: Lock down tracing and perf kprobes when in confidentiality mode
lockdown: Lock down /proc/kcore
x86/mmiotrace: Lock down the testmmiotrace module
lockdown: Lock down module params that specify hardware parameters (eg. ioport)
lockdown: Lock down TIOCSSERIAL
lockdown: Prohibit PCMCIA CIS storage when the kernel is locked down
acpi: Disable ACPI table override if the kernel is locked down
acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel param when the kernel has been locked down
ACPI: Limit access to custom_method when the kernel is locked down
x86/msr: Restrict MSR access when the kernel is locked down
x86: Lock down IO port access when the kernel is locked down
...
Tracefs may release more information about the kernel than desirable, so
restrict it when the kernel is locked down in confidentiality mode by
preventing open().

default_file_open())

tracefs_ops is initialized inside tracefs_create_instance_dir and not
modified after. tracefs_create_instance_dir allows for initialization
only once, and is called from create_trace_instances(marked __init),
which is called from tracer_init_tracefs(marked __init). Also, mark
tracefs_create_instance_dir as __init.

btrfs, debugfs, reiserfs and tracefs call save_mount_options() and reiserfs
calls replace_mount_options(), but they then implement their own
->show_options() methods and don't touch s_options, rendering the saved
options unnecessary. I'm trying to eliminate s_options to make it easier
to implement a context-based mount where the mount options can be passed
individually over a file descriptor.
Remove the calls to save/replace_mount_options() call in these cases.

simple_fill_super() is passed an array of tree_descr structures which
describe the files to create in the filesystem's root directory. Since
these arrays are never modified intentionally, they should be 'const' so
that they are placed in .rodata and benefit from memory protection.
This patch updates the function signature and all users, and also
constifies tree_descr.name.

CURRENT_TIME macro is not appropriate for filesystems as it
doesn't use the right granularity for filesystem timestamps.
Use current_time() instead.
CURRENT_TIME is also not y2038 safe.
This is also in preparation for the patch that transitions
vfs timestamps to use 64 bit time and hence make them
y2038 safe. As part of the effort current_time() will be
extended to do range checks. Hence, it is necessary for all
file system timestamps to use current_time(). Also,
current_time() will be transitioned along with vfs to be
y2038 safe.
Note that whenever a single call to current_time() is used
to change timestamps in different inodes, it is because they
share the same time granularity.
