Clear trace_state data structure when starting trace
in __synth_event_trace_start() internal function.
Currently trace_state is initialized only in the
synth_event_trace_start() API, but the trace_state
in synth_event_trace() and synth_event_trace_array()
are on the stack without initialization.
This means those APIs will see wrong parameters and
wil skip closing process in __synth_event_trace_end()
because trace_state->disabled may be !0.

Fix a varargs-related bug in print_synth_event() which resulted in
strange output and oopses on 32-bit x86 systems. The problem is that
trace_seq_printf() expects the varargs to match the format string, but
print_synth_event() was always passing u64 values regardless. This
results in unspecified behavior when unpacking with va_arg() in
trace_seq_printf().
Add a function that takes the size into account when calling
trace_seq_printf().

The patch 'tracing: Fix histogram code when expression has same var as
value' added code to return an existing variable reference when
creating a new variable reference, which resulted in var_ref_vals
slots being reused instead of being duplicated.
The implementation of the trace action assumes that the end of the
var_ref_vals array starting at action_data.var_ref_idx corresponds to
the values that will be assigned to the trace params. The patch
mentioned above invalidates that assumption, which means that each
param needs to explicitly specify its index into var_ref_vals.
This fix changes action_data.var_ref_idx to an array of var ref
indexes to account for that.

Add an exported function named synth_event_trace(), allowing modules
or other kernel code to trace synthetic events.
Also added are several functions that allow the same functionality to
be broken out in a piecewise fashion, which are useful in situations

cumbersome. Those functions are synth_event_trace_start/end() and
synth_event_add_(next)_val().

Add functions used to generate synthetic event commands, built on top
of the dynevent_cmd interface.
synth_event_gen_cmd_start() is used to create a synthetic event
command using a variable arg list and
synth_event_gen_cmd_array_start() does the same thing but using an
array of field descriptors. synth_event_add_field(),
synth_event_add_field_str() and synth_event_add_fields() can be used
to add single fields one by one or as a group. Once all desired
fields are added, synth_event_gen_cmd_end() is used to actually
execute the command and create the event.
synth_event_create() does everything, including creating the event, in
a single call.

In the process of adding better error messages for sorting, I realized
that strsep was being used incorrectly and some of the error paths I
was expecting to be hit weren't and just fell through to the common
invalid key error case.
It also became obvious that for keyword assignments, it wasn't
necessary to save the full assignment and reparse it later, and having
a common empty-assignment check would also make more sense in terms of
error processing.
Change the code to fix these problems and simplify it for new error
message changes in a subsequent patch.

While working on a tool to convert SQL syntex into the histogram language of
the kernel, I discovered the following bug:
# echo 'first u64 start_time u64 end_time pid_t pid u64 delta' >> synthetic_events
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:start=common_timestamp' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:delta=common_timestamp-$start,start2=$start:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(first,$start2,common_timestamp,next_pid,$delta)' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
Would not display any histograms in the sched_switch histogram side.
But if I were to swap the location of
"delta=common_timestamp-$start" with "start2=$start"
Such that the last line had:
# echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:start2=$start,delta=common_timestamp-$start:onmatch(sched.sched_waking).trace(first,$start2,common_timestamp,next_pid,$delta)' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
The histogram works as expected.
What I found out is that the expressions clear out the value once it is
resolved. As the variables are resolved in the order listed, when
processing:
delta=common_timestamp-$start
The $start is cleared. When it gets to "start2=$start", it errors out with
"unresolved symbol" (which is silent as this happens at the location of the
trace), and the histogram is dropped.
When processing the histogram for variable references, instead of adding a
new reference for a variable used twice, use the same reference. That way,
not only is it more efficient, but the order will no longer matter in
processing of the variables.
From Tom Zanussi:
"Just to clarify some more about what the problem was is that without
your patch, we would have two separate references to the same variable,
and during resolve_var_refs(), they'd both want to be resolved
separately, so in this case, since the first reference to start wasn't
part of an expression, it wouldn't get the read-once flag set, so would
be read normally, and then the second reference would do the read-once
read and also be read but using read-once. So everything worked and
you didn't see a problem:
from: start2=$start,delta=common_timestamp-$start
In the second case, when you switched them around, the first reference
would be resolved by doing the read-once, and following that the second
reference would try to resolve and see that the variable had already
been read, so failed as unset, which caused it to short-circuit out and
not do the trigger action to generate the synthetic event:
to: delta=common_timestamp-$start,start2=$start
With your patch, we only have the single resolution which happens
correctly the one time it's resolved, so this can't happen."

I investigated those warnings and found that the RCU-list
traversals in event trigger and hist didn't need to use
RCU version because those were called only under event_mutex.
I also checked other RCU-list traversals related to event
trigger list, and found that most of them were called from
event_hist_trigger_func() or hist_unregister_trigger() or
register/unregister functions except for a few cases.
Replace these unneeded RCU-list traversals with normal list
traversal macro and lockdep_assert_held() to check the
event_mutex is held.

Add synthetic event node support to boot time tracing.
The synthetic event is a kind of event node, but the group
name is "synthetic".
- ftrace.event.synthetic.EVENT.fields = FIELD[, FIELD2...]
Defines new synthetic event with FIELDs. Each field should be
"type varname".
The synthetic node requires "fields" string arraies, which defines
the fields as same as tracing/synth_events interface.

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion.
The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither
of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be
renamed as:
perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer
ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer
This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.
As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

At least on PA-RISC and s390 synthetic histogram triggers are failing
selftests because trace_event_raw_event_synth() always writes a 64 bit
values, but the reader expects a field->size sized value. On little endian
machines this doesn't hurt, but on big endian this makes the reader always
read zero values.

Rework event_create_dir() to use an array of static data instead of
function pointers where possible.
The problem is that it would call the function pointer on module load
before parse_args(), possibly even before jump_labels were initialized.
Luckily the generated functions don't use jump_labels but it still seems
fragile. It also gets in the way of changing when we make the module map
executable.
The generated function are basically calling trace_define_field() with a
bunch of static arguments. So instead of a function, capture these
arguments in a static array, avoiding the function call.
Now there are a number of cases where the fields are dynamic (syscall
arguments, kprobes and uprobes), in which case a static array does not
work, for these we preserve the function call. Luckily all these cases
are not related to modules and so we can retain the function call for
them.
Also fix up all broken tracepoint definitions that now generate a
compile error.

Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown
mode, and if so, to return -EPERM.
Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines)
as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being
traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter
intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been
modified.

Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is
set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when
tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring
buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from
crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on
boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is
disabled until reboot.
As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs
directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array
associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is
freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array,
then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there
could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is
found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and
the trace_array associated with it freed).
Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a
single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to
tracefs later.

Original changelog from Steve Rostedt (except last sentence which
explains the problem, and the Fixes: tag):
I performed a three way histogram with the following commands:
echo 'irq_lat u64 lat pid_t pid' > synthetic_events
echo 'wake_lat u64 lat u64 irqlat pid_t pid' >> synthetic_events
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:irqts=common_timestamp.usecs if function == 0xffffffff81200580' > events/timer/hrtimer_start/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=common_pid:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$irqts:onmatch(timer.hrtimer_start).irq_lat($lat,pid) if common_flags & 1' > events/sched/sched_waking/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=pid:wakets=common_timestamp.usecs,irqlat=lat' > events/synthetic/irq_lat/trigger
echo 'hist:keys=next_pid:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$wakets,irqlat=$irqlat:onmatch(synthetic.irq_lat).wake_lat($lat,$irqlat,next_pid)' > events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
echo 1 > events/synthetic/wake_lat/enable
Basically I wanted to see:
hrtimer_start (calling function tick_sched_timer)
Note:
# grep tick_sched_timer /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff81200580 t tick_sched_timer
And save the time of that, and then record sched_waking if it is called
in interrupt context and with the same pid as the hrtimer_start, it
will record the latency between that and the waking event.
I then look at when the task that is woken is scheduled in, and record
the latency between the wakeup and the task running.
At the end, the wake_lat synthetic event will show the wakeup to
scheduled latency, as well as the irq latency in from hritmer_start to
the wakeup. The problem is that I found this:
<idle>-0 [007] d... 190.485261: wake_lat: lat=27 irqlat=190485230 pid=698
<idle>-0 [005] d... 190.485283: wake_lat: lat=40 irqlat=190485239 pid=10
<idle>-0 [002] d... 190.488327: wake_lat: lat=56 irqlat=190488266 pid=335
<idle>-0 [005] d... 190.489330: wake_lat: lat=64 irqlat=190489262 pid=10
<idle>-0 [003] d... 190.490312: wake_lat: lat=43 irqlat=190490265 pid=77
<idle>-0 [005] d... 190.493322: wake_lat: lat=54 irqlat=190493262 pid=10
<idle>-0 [005] d... 190.497305: wake_lat: lat=35 irqlat=190497267 pid=10
<idle>-0 [005] d... 190.501319: wake_lat: lat=50 irqlat=190501264 pid=10
The irqlat seemed quite large! Investigating this further, if I had
enabled the irq_lat synthetic event, I noticed this:
<idle>-0 [002] d.s. 249.429308: irq_lat: lat=164968 pid=335
<idle>-0 [002] d... 249.429369: wake_lat: lat=55 irqlat=249429308 pid=335
Notice that the timestamp of the irq_lat "249.429308" is awfully
similar to the reported irqlat variable. In fact, all instances were
like this. It appeared that:
irqlat=$irqlat
Wasn't assigning the old $irqlat to the new irqlat variable, but
instead was assigning the $irqts to it.
The issue is that assigning the old $irqlat to the new irqlat variable
creates a variable reference alias, but the alias creation code
forgets to make sure the alias uses the same var_ref_idx to access the
reference.

Without this check a snapshot is taken whenever a bucket's max is hit,
rather than only when the global max is hit, as it should be.
Before:
In this example, we do a first run of the workload (cyclictest),
examine the output, note the max ('triggering value') (347), then do
a second run and note the max again.
In this case, the max in the second run (39) is below the max in the
first run, but since we haven't cleared the histogram, the first max
is still in the histogram and is higher than any other max, so it
should still be the max for the snapshot. It isn't however - the
value should still be 347 after the second run.

There's an existing check for variable references in keys, but it
doesn't go far enough. It checks whether a key field is a variable
reference but doesn't check whether it's an expression containing
variable references, which can cause the same problems for callers.
Use the existing field_has_hist_vars() function rather than a direct
top-level flag check to catch all possible variable references.

hist_field_var_ref() is an implementation of hist_field_fn_t(), which
can be called with a null tracing_map_elt elt param when assembling a
key in event_hist_trigger().
In the case of hist_field_var_ref() this doesn't make sense, because a
variable can only be resolved by looking it up using an already
assembled key i.e. a variable can't be used to assemble a key since
the key is required in order to access the variable.
Upper layers should prevent the user from constructing a key using a
variable in the first place, but in case one slips through, it
shouldn't cause a NULL pointer dereference. Also if one does slip
through, we want to know about it, so emit a one-time warning in that
case.

No architecture terminates the stack trace with ULONG_MAX anymore. As the
code checks the number of entries stored anyway there is no point in
keeping all that ULONG_MAX magic around.
The histogram code zeroes the storage before saving the stack, so if the
trace is shorter than the maximum number of entries it can terminate the
print loop if a zero entry is detected.

As each instance has their own error_log file, it makes more sense that the
instances show the errors of their own instead of all error_logs having the
same data. Make it that the errors show up in the instance error_log file
that the error happens in. If no instance trace_array is available, then
NULL can be passed in which will create the error in the top level instance
(the one at the top of the tracefs directory).

Have the trace_array that associates the trace instance of the histogram
passed around to functions so that error handling can display the error
message in the proper instance.
