- Fix some missing-prototype warnings
- Fix user events struct args (did not include size of struct)
When creating a user event, the "struct" keyword is to denote
that the size of the field will be passed in. But the parsing
failed to handle this case.
- Add selftest to struct sizes for user events
- Fix sample code for direct trampolines.
The sample code for direct trampolines attached to handle_mm_fault().
But the prototype changed and the direct trampoline sample code
was not updated. Direct trampolines needs to have the arguments correct
otherwise it can fail or crash the system.
- Remove unused ftrace_regs_caller_ret() prototype.
- Quiet false positive of FORTIFY_SOURCE
Due to backward compatibility, the structure used to save stack traces
in the kernel had a fixed size of 8. This structure is exported to
user space via the tracing format file. A change was made to allow
more than 8 functions to be recorded, and user space now uses the
size field to know how many functions are actually in the stack.
But the structure still has size of 8 (even though it points into
the ring buffer that has the required amount allocated to hold a
full stack. This was fine until the fortifier noticed that the
memcpy(&entry->caller, stack, size) was greater than the 8 functions
and would complain at runtime about it. Hide this by using a pointer
to the stack location on the ring buffer instead of using the address
of the entry structure caller field.
- Fix a deadloop in reading trace_pipe that was caused by a mismatch
between ring_buffer_empty() returning false which then asked to
read the data, but the read code uses rb_num_of_entries() that
returned zero, and causing a infinite "retry".
- Fix a warning caused by not using all pages allocated to store
ftrace functions, where this can happen if the linker inserts a bunch of
"NULL" entries, causing the accounting of how many pages needed
to be off.
- Fix histogram synthetic event crashing when the start event is
removed and the end event is still using a variable from it.
- Fix memory leak in freeing iter->temp in tracing_release_pipe()
