Currently, user-space extracts data from the ring-buffer via splice,
which is handy for storage or network sharing. However, due to splice
limitations, it is imposible to do real-time analysis without a copy.
A solution for that problem is to let the user-space map the ring-buffer
directly.
The mapping is exposed via the per-CPU file trace_pipe_raw. The first
element of the mapping is the meta-page. It is followed by each
subbuffer constituting the ring-buffer, ordered by their unique page ID:
* Meta-page -- include/uapi/linux/trace_mmap.h for a description
* Subbuf ID 0
* Subbuf ID 1
...
It is therefore easy to translate a subbuf ID into an offset in the
mapping:
reader_id = meta->reader->id;
reader_offset = meta->meta_page_size + reader_id * meta->subbuf_size;
When new data is available, the mapper must call a newly introduced ioctl:
TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER. This will update the Meta-page reader ID to
point to the next reader containing unread data.
Mapping will prevent snapshot and buffer size modifications.

When a ring-buffer is memory mapped by user-space, no trace or
ring-buffer swap is possible. This means the snapshot feature is
mutually exclusive with the memory mapping. Having a refcount on
snapshot users will help to know if a mapping is possible or not.
Instead of relying on the global trace_types_lock, a new spinlock is
introduced to serialize accesses to trace_array->snapshot. This intends
to allow access to that variable in a context where the mmap lock is
already held.

The code that handles saved_cmdlines is split between the trace.c file and
the trace_sched_switch.c. There's some history to this. The
trace_sched_switch.c was originally created to handle the sched_switch
tracer that was deprecated due to sched_switch trace event making it
obsolete. But that file did not get deleted as it had some code to help
with saved_cmdlines. But trace.c has grown tremendously since then. Just
move all the saved_cmdlines code into trace_sched_switch.c as that's the
only reason that file still exists, and trace.c has gotten too big.
No functional changes.

Currently the size of one sub buffer page is global for all buffers and
it is hard coded to one system page. In order to introduce configurable
ring buffer sub page size, the internal logic should be refactored to
work with sub page size per ring buffer.

A trace instance may only need to enable specific events. As the eventfs
directory of an instance currently creates all events which adds overhead,
allow internal instances to be created with just the events in systems
that they care about. This currently only deals with systems and not
individual events, but this should bring down the overhead of creating
instances for specific use cases quite bit.
The trace_array_get_by_name() now has another parameter "systems". This
parameter is a const string pointer of a comma/space separated list of
event systems that should be created by the trace_array. (Note if the
trace_array already exists, this parameter is ignored).
The list of systems is saved and if a module is loaded, its events will
not be added unless the system for those events also match the systems
string.

KASAN report following issue. The root cause is when opening 'hist'
file of an instance and accessing 'trace_event_file' in hist_show(),
but 'trace_event_file' has been freed due to the instance being removed.
'hist_debug' file has the same problem. To fix it, call
tracing_{open,release}_file_tr() in file_operations callback to have
the ref count and avoid 'trace_event_file' being freed.

The above commands:

2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one)
3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event
4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too)
5. Close the bash file descriptor 5
The above causes a crash!

RIP: 0010:tracing_release_file_tr+0xc/0x50
What happens here is that the kprobe event creates a trace_event_file
"file" descriptor that represents the file in tracefs to the event. It
maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?).
Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor
via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is
also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file"
descriptor.
But as the tracefs file is still opened by user space, it will not be
totally removed until the final dput() is called on it. But this is not
true with the event "file" descriptor that is already freed. If the user
does a write to or simply closes the file descriptor it will reference the
event "file" descriptor that was just freed, causing a use-after-free bug.
To solve this, add a ref count to the event "file" descriptor as well as a
new flag called "FREED". The "file" will not be freed until the last
reference is released. But the FREE flag will be set when the event is
removed to prevent any more modifications to that event from happening,
even if there's still a reference to the event "file" descriptor.

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.

The ring buffer of global_trace is set to the minimum size in
order to save memory on boot up and then it will be expand when
some trace feature enabled.
However currently operations under an instance can also cause
global_trace ring buffer being expanded, and the expanded memory
would be wasted if global_trace then not being used.
See following case, we enable 'sched_switch' event in instance 'A', then
ring buffer of global_trace is unexpectedly expanded to be 1410KB, also
the '(expanded: 1408)' from 'buffer_size_kb' of instance is confusing.
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# mkdir instances/A
# cat buffer_size_kb
7 (expanded: 1408)
# cat instances/A/buffer_size_kb
1410 (expanded: 1408)
# echo sched:sched_switch > instances/A/set_event
# cat buffer_size_kb
1410
# cat instances/A/buffer_size_kb
1410
To fix it, we can:
- Make 'ring_buffer_expanded' as a member of 'struct trace_array';
- Make 'ring_buffer_expanded' of instance is defaultly true,
global_trace is defaultly false;
- In order not to expose 'global_trace' outside of file
'kernel/trace/trace.c', introduce trace_set_ring_buffer_expanded()
to set 'ring_buffer_expanded' as 'true';
- Pass the expected trace_array to tracing_update_buffers().

- 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.

There is race issue when concurrently splice_read main trace_pipe and
per_cpu trace_pipes which will result in data read out being different
from what actually writen.
As suggested by Steven:
> I believe we should add a ref count to trace_pipe and the per_cpu
> trace_pipes, where if they are opened, nothing else can read it.
>
> Opening trace_pipe locks all per_cpu ref counts, if any of them are
> open, then the trace_pipe open will fail (and releases any ref counts
> it had taken).
>
> Opening a per_cpu trace_pipe will up the ref count for just that
> CPU buffer. This will allow multiple tasks to read different per_cpu
> trace_pipe files, but will prevent the main trace_pipe file from
> being opened.
But because we only need to know whether per_cpu trace_pipe is open or
not, using a cpumask instead of using ref count may be easier.
After this patch, users will find that:
- Main trace_pipe can be opened by only one user, and if it is
opened, all per_cpu trace_pipes cannot be opened;
- Per_cpu trace_pipes can be opened by multiple users, but each per_cpu
trace_pipe can only be opened by one user. And if one of them is
opened, main trace_pipe cannot be opened.

The current code uses a lot of casts to access the fields member in struct
synth_trace_events with different sizes. This makes the code hard to

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.

For backward compatibility, older tooling expects to see the kernel_stack
event with a "caller" field that is a fixed size array of 8 addresses. The
code now supports more than 8 with an added "size" field that states the
real number of entries. But the "caller" field still just looks like a
fixed size to user space.
Since the tracing macros that create the user space format files also
creates the structures that those files represent, the kernel_stack event
structure had its "caller" field a fixed size of 8, but in reality, when
it is allocated on the ring buffer, it can hold more if the stack trace is
bigger that 8 functions. The copying of these entries was simply done with
a memcpy():
size = nr_entries * sizeof(unsigned long);
memcpy(entry->caller, fstack->calls, size);
The FORTIFY_SOURCE logic noticed at runtime that when the nr_entries was
larger than 8, that the memcpy() was writing more than what the structure
stated it can hold and it complained about it. This is because the
FORTIFY_SOURCE code is unaware that the amount allocated is actually
enough to hold the size. It does not expect that a fixed size field will
hold more than the fixed size.
This was originally solved by hiding the caller assignment with some
pointer arithmetic.
ptr = ring_buffer_data();
entry = ptr;
ptr += offsetof(typeof(*entry), caller);
memcpy(ptr, fstack->calls, size);
But it is considered bad form to hide from kernel hardening. Instead, make
it work nicely with FORTIFY_SOURCE by adding a new __stack_array() macro
that is specific for this one special use case. The macro will take 4
arguments: type, item, len, field (whereas the __array() macro takes just
the first three). This macro will act just like the __array() macro when
creating the code to deal with the format file that is exposed to user
space. But for the kernel, it will turn the caller field into:
type item[] __counted_by(field);
or for this instance:
unsigned long caller[] __counted_by(size);
Now the kernel code can expose the assignment of the caller to the
FORTIFY_SOURCE and everyone is happy!

It was turned out that commit 2e9906f84f ("tracing: Add "(fault)"

events still show just '(fault)' (instead of '"(fault)"'). Also,
current '(fault)' is more explicit that it faulted.
This also moves FAULT_STRING macro to trace.h so that synthetic
event can keep using it, and uses it in trace_probe.c too.

Analyzing system call failures with the function_graph tracer can be a
time-consuming process, particularly when locating the kernel function
that first returns an error in the trace logs. This change aims to
simplify the process by recording the function return value to the
'retval' member of 'ftrace_graph_ret' and printing it when outputting
the trace log.
We have introduced new trace options: funcgraph-retval and
funcgraph-retval-hex. The former controls whether to display the return
value, while the latter controls the display format.
Please note that even if a function's return type is void, a return
value will still be printed. You can simply ignore it.
This patch only establishes the fundamental infrastructure. Subsequent
patches will make this feature available on some commonly used processor
architectures.
Here is an example:
I attempted to attach the demo process to a cpu cgroup, but it failed:
echo `pidof demo` > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/tasks
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
The strace logs indicate that the write system call returned -EINVAL(-22):
...
write(1, "273\n", 4) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
...
To capture trace logs during a write system call, use the following
commands:
cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
echo 0 > tracing_on
echo > trace
echo *sys_write > set_graph_function
echo *spin* > set_graph_notrace
echo *rcu* >> set_graph_notrace
echo *alloc* >> set_graph_notrace
echo preempt* >> set_graph_notrace
echo kfree* >> set_graph_notrace
echo $$ > set_ftrace_pid
echo function_graph > current_tracer
echo 1 > options/funcgraph-retval
echo 0 > options/funcgraph-retval-hex
echo 1 > tracing_on
echo `pidof demo` > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu/test/tasks
echo 0 > tracing_on
cat trace > ~/trace.log
To locate the root cause, search for error code -22 directly in the file
trace.log and identify the first function that returned -22. Once you
have identified this function, examine its code to determine the root
cause.
For example, in the trace log below, cpu_cgroup_can_attach
returned -22 first, so we can focus our analysis on this function to
identify the root cause.
...

1) 0.651 us | cgroup_migrate_add_task(); /* = 0xffff93fcfd346c00 */

Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe
events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit
even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since
CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS,
it is not available if the architecture only supports
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not
probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture.
But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events.
The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function
(symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments
so that user can trace the function arguments and return values.
The fprobe events syntax is here;
f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS]
f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS]
E.g.
# echo 'f vfs_read $arg1' >> dynamic_events
# echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval' >> dynamic_events
# cat dynamic_events
f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1
f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval
# echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable
# head -n 20 trace | tail

After commit 3087c61ed2 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN"),
the content of the format file under
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask was changed from
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
to
field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
John reported that this change breaks older versions of perfetto.
Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the
use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum
labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it:
:One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend
:struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length
:of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified
:form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs.
The result as follows after this change,
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;

Allow a stacktrace from one event to be displayed by the end event of a
synthetic event. This is very useful when looking for the longest latency
of a sleep or something blocked on I/O.
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo 's:block_lat pid_t pid; u64 delta; unsigned long[] stack;' > dynamic_events
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:ts=common_timestamp.usecs,st=stacktrace if prev_state == 1||prev_state == 2' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
# echo 'hist:keys=prev_pid:delta=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts,s=$st:onmax($delta).trace(block_lat,prev_pid,$delta,$s)' >> events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
The above creates a "block_lat" synthetic event that take the stacktrace of
when a task schedules out in either the interruptible or uninterruptible
states, and on a new per process max $delta (the time it was scheduled
out), will print the process id and the stacktrace.

Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is
called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and
"ftrace_dump_on_oops" is set on the kernel command line, all you get will
be:
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6
This is because the trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered
yet. That gets done via an early_initcall(), which may be early, but not
early enough.
Instead of registering the trace_printk() event (and other ftrace events,
which are not trace events) via an early_initcall(), have them registered at
the same time that trace_printk() can be used. This way, if there is a
crash before early_initcall(), then the trace_printk()s will actually be
useful.

Both CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER and CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER partially enables the
CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE code, but that is complicated and has
introduced a bug; It declares tracing_max_lat_fops data structure outside
of #ifdefs, but since it is defined only when CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE=y
or CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER=y, if only CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER=y, that
declaration comes to a definition(!).
To fix this issue, and do not repeat the similar problem, makes
CONFIG_OSNOISE_TRACER and CONFIG_HWLAT_TRACER enables the
CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE always. It has there benefits;
- Fix the tracing_max_lat_fops bug
- Simplify the #ifdefs
- CONFIG_TRACER_MAX_TRACE code is fully enabled, or not.

When creating probe names, a check is done to make sure it matches basic C
standard variable naming standards. Basically, starts with alphabetic or
underline, and then the rest of the characters have alpha-numeric or
underline in them.
But system names do not have any true naming conventions, as they are
created by the TRACE_SYSTEM macro and nothing tests to see what they are.
The "xhci-hcd" trace events has a '-' in the system name. When trying to
attach a eprobe to one of these trace points, it fails because the system
name does not follow the variable naming convention because of the
hyphen, and the eprobe checks fail on this.
Allow hyphens in the system name so that eprobes can attach to the
"xhci-hcd" trace events.

Currently the tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() requires the
trace_types_lock held. But only one caller of this function actually has
that lock held before calling it, and the other just takes the lock so
that it can call it. More users of this function is needed where the lock
is not held.
Add a tracing_reset_all_online_cpus_unlocked() function for the one use
case that calls it without being held, and also add a lockdep_assert to
make sure it is held when called.
Then have tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() take the lock internally, such
that callers do not need to worry about taking it.

RV is a lightweight (yet rigorous) method that complements classical
exhaustive verification techniques (such as model checking and
theorem proving) with a more practical approach to complex systems.
RV works by analyzing the trace of the system's actual execution,
comparing it against a formal specification of the system behavior.
RV can give precise information on the runtime behavior of the
monitored system while enabling the reaction for unexpected
events, avoiding, for example, the propagation of a failure on
safety-critical systems.
The development of this interface roots in the development of the
paper:
De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot; Cucinotta, Tommaso; De Oliveira, Romulo
Silva. Efficient formal verification for the Linux kernel. In:
International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods.
Springer, Cham, 2019. p. 315-332.
And:
De Oliveira, Daniel Bristot. Automata-based formal analysis
and verification of the real-time Linux kernel. PhD Thesis, 2020.
The RV interface resembles the tracing/ interface on purpose. The current
path for the RV interface is /sys/kernel/tracing/rv/.
It presents these files:
"available_monitors"
- List the available monitors, one per line.
For example:
# cat available_monitors
wip
wwnr
"enabled_monitors"
- Lists the enabled monitors, one per line;
- Writing to it enables a given monitor;
- Writing a monitor name with a '!' prefix disables it;
- Truncating the file disables all enabled monitors.
For example:
# cat enabled_monitors
# echo wip > enabled_monitors
# echo wwnr >> enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
wip
wwnr
# echo '!wip' >> enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
wwnr
# echo > enabled_monitors
# cat enabled_monitors
#
Note that more than one monitor can be enabled concurrently.
"monitoring_on"
- It is an on/off general switcher for monitoring. Note
that it does not disable enabled monitors or detach events,
but stop the per-entity monitors of monitoring the events
received from the system. It resembles the "tracing_on" switcher.
"monitors/"
Each monitor will have its one directory inside "monitors/". There
the monitor specific files will be presented.
The "monitors/" directory resembles the "events" directory on
tracefs.
For example:
# cd monitors/wip/
# ls
desc enable
# cat desc
wakeup in preemptive per-cpu testing monitor.
# cat enable
0
For further information, see the comments in the header of
kernel/trace/rv/rv.c from this patch.

Code for registering triggers assumes it's possible to register more
than one trigger at a time. In fact, it's unimplemented and there
doesn't seem to be a reason to do that.
Remove the n_registered param from event_trigger_register() and fix up
callers.
Doing so simplifies the logic in event_trigger_register to the point
that it just becomes a wrapper calling event_command.reg().
It also removes the problematic call to event_command.unreg() in case
of failure. A new function, event_trigger_unregister() is also added
for callers to call themselves.
The changes to trace_events_hist.c simply allow compilation; a
separate patch follows which updates the hist triggers to work
correctly with the new changes.

- New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the kernel
describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a byte in a page
mapping that it can check against. A privileged task can then enable that
event like any other event, which will change the mapped byte to true,
telling the user space application to start writing the event to the
tracing buffer.
- Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When set,
the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot up when
the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep the traces that
happened at boot up available even if user space boot up has tracing as
well.
- Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type descriptions.
Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum, the user space trace
event parsers can still know how to parse that array.
- Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This will
make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not be stuck at
only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.
- Fixes to tracing error logging.
- Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events for

Currently, the event probes save the type of the event they are attached
to when recording the event. For example:
# echo 'e:switch sched/sched_switch prev_state=$prev_state prev_prio=$prev_prio next_pid=$next_pid next_prio=$next_prio' > dynamic_events
# cat events/eprobes/switch/format
name: switch
ID: 1717
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:unsigned int __probe_type; offset:8; size:4; signed:0;
field:u64 prev_state; offset:12; size:8; signed:0;
field:u64 prev_prio; offset:20; size:8; signed:0;
field:u64 next_pid; offset:28; size:8; signed:0;
field:u64 next_prio; offset:36; size:8; signed:0;
print fmt: "(%u) prev_state=0x%Lx prev_prio=0x%Lx next_pid=0x%Lx next_prio=0x%Lx", REC->__probe_type, REC->prev_state, REC->prev_prio, REC->next_pid, REC->next_prio
The __probe_type adds 4 bytes to every event.
One of the reasons for creating eprobes is to limit what is traced in an
event to be able to limit what is written into the ring buffer. Having
this redundant 4 bytes to every event takes away from this.
The event that is recorded can be retrieved from the event probe itself,
that is available when the trace is happening. For user space tools, it
could simply read the dynamic_event file to find the event they are for.
So there is really no reason to write this information into the ring
buffer for every event.

Currently, tracing_log_err.cmd strings are restricted to a length of
MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL (256), which is too short for some commands already
seen in the wild (with cmd strings longer than that showing up
truncated).
Remove the restriction so that no command string is ever truncated.

The event_command.parse() callback is responsible for parsing and
registering triggers. The existing command implementions for this
callback duplicate a lot of the same code, so to clean up and
consolidate those implementations, introduce a handful of helper
functions for implementors to use.
This also makes it easier for new commands to be implemented and
allows them to focus more on the customizations they provide rather
than obscuring and complicating it with boilerplate code.

The name of the func() callback on event_trigger_ops is too generic
and is easily confused with other callbacks with that name, so change
it to something that reflects its actual purpose.
In this case, the main purpose of the callback is to implement an
event trigger, so call it trigger() instead.
Also add some more documentation to event_trigger_ops describing the
callbacks a bit better.

In case trace_event_buffer_lock_reserve() is called with preemption
enabled, the algorithm that defines the usage of the per cpu filter buffer
may fail if the task schedules to another CPU after determining which
buffer it will use.
Disable preemption when using the filter buffer. And because that same
buffer must be used throughout the call, keep preemption disabled until
the filter buffer is released.
This will also keep the semantics between the use case of when the filter
buffer is used, and when the ring buffer itself is used, as that case also
disables preemption until the ring buffer is released.

Add '__rel_loc' using trace event macros. These macros are usually
not used in the kernel, except for testing purpose.
This also add "rel_" variant of macros for dynamic_array string,
and bitmask.

Add '__rel_loc' new dynamic data location attribute which encodes
the data location from the next to the field itself.
The '__data_loc' is used for encoding the dynamic data location on
the trace event record. But '__data_loc' is not useful if the writer
doesn't know the event header (e.g. user event), because it records
the dynamic data offset from the entry of the record, not the field
itself.
This new '__rel_loc' attribute encodes the data location relatively
from the next of the field. For example, when there is a record like
below (the number in the parentheses is the size of fields)
|header(N)|common(M)|fields(K)|__data_loc(4)|fields(L)|data(G)|
In this case, '__data_loc' field will be
__data_loc = (G << 16) | (N+M+K+4+L)
If '__rel_loc' is used, this will be
|header(N)|common(M)|fields(K)|__rel_loc(4)|fields(L)|data(G)|
where
__rel_loc = (G << 16) | (L)
This case shows L bytes after the '__rel_loc' attribute field,
if there is no fields after the __rel_loc field, L must be 0.
This is relatively easy (and no need to consider the kernel header
change) when the event data fields are composed by user who doesn't
know header and common fields.
