An tracing instance has several of the same capabilities as the top level
instance, but may be implemented slightly different. Instead of just writing
tests that duplicat the same test cases of the top level instance, allow a
test to be written for both the top level as well as for an instance.
If a test case can be run in both the top level as well as in an tracing
instance directory, then it should add a tag "# flags: instance" in the
header of the test file. Then after all tests have run, any test that has an
instance flag set, will run again within a tracing instance.

With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes
(triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe
callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes
still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for
instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the
top array.
That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an
instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but
this change sets the ground work for the change.
When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into
set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in
init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching
function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init()
function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to
a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first
occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then
initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the
probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place
holder data that it was initialized to the last time.
Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions,
where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free()
function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function
that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no
more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be
freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the
place holder if it was allocade during the first init call.

In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique
set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and
the filters for the probes.
This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private
data of the probe ops point to the trace_array, create a separate list that
the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need
one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for
each instance, instead of being static.

Just writing into the set_ftrace_filter file does not reset triggers, even

Stack tracing discovered that there's a small location inside the RCU
infrastructure where calling rcu_irq_enter() does not work. As trace events
use rcu_irq_enter() it must make sure that it is functionable. A check
against rcu_irq_enter_disabled() is added with a WARN_ON_ONCE() as no trace
event should ever be used in that part of RCU. If the warning is triggered,
then the trace event is ignored.
Restructure the __DO_TRACE() a bit to get rid of the prercu and postrcu,
and just have an rcucheck that does the work from within the _DO_TRACE()
macro. gcc optimization will compile out the rcucheck=0 case.

Tracing uses rcu_irq_enter() as a way to make sure that RCU is watching when
it needs to use rcu_read_lock() and friends. This is because tracing can
happen as RCU is about to enter user space, or about to go idle, and RCU
does not watch for RCU read side critical sections as it makes the
transition.
There is a small location within the RCU infrastructure that rcu_irq_enter()
itself will not work. If tracing were to occur in that section it will break
if it tries to use rcu_irq_enter().
Originally, this happens with the stack_tracer, because it will call
save_stack_trace when it encounters stack usage that is greater than any
stack usage it had encountered previously. There was a case where that
happened in the RCU section where rcu_irq_enter() did not work, and lockdep
complained loudly about it. To fix it, stack tracing added a call to be
disabled and RCU would disable stack tracing during the critical section
that rcu_irq_enter() was inoperable. This solution worked, but there are
other cases that use rcu_irq_enter() and it would be a good idea to let RCU
give a way to let others know that rcu_irq_enter() will not work. For
example, in trace events.
Another helpful aspect of this change is that it also moves the per cpu
variable called in the RCU critical section into a cache locale along with
other RCU per cpu variables used in that same location.
I'm keeping the stack_trace_disable() code, as that still could be used in
the future by places that really need to disable it. And since it's only a
static inline, it wont take up any kernel text if it is not used.

The tracing subsystem started using rcu_irq_entry() and rcu_irq_exit()
(with my blessing) to allow the current _rcuidle alternative tracepoint
name to be dispensed with while still maintaining good performance.
Unfortunately, this causes RCU's dyntick-idle entry code's tracing to
appear to RCU like an interrupt that occurs where RCU is not designed
to handle interrupts.
This commit fixes this problem by moving the zeroing of ->dynticks_nesting
after the offending trace_rcu_dyntick() statement, which narrows the
window of vulnerability to a pair of adjacent statements that are now
marked with comments to that effect.

The function tracer needs to be more careful than other subsystems when it
comes to freeing data. Especially if that data is actually executable code.
When a single function is traced, a trampoline can be dynamically allocated
which is called to jump to the function trace callback. When the callback is
no longer needed, the dynamic allocated trampoline needs to be freed. This
is where the issues arise. The dynamically allocated trampoline must not be
used again. As function tracing can trace all subsystems, including
subsystems that are used to serialize aspects of freeing (namely RCU), it
must take extra care when doing the freeing.
Before synchronize_rcu_tasks() was around, there was no way for the function
tracer to know that nothing was using the dynamically allocated trampoline
when CONFIG_PREEMPT was enabled. That's because a task could be indefinitely
preempted while sitting on the trampoline. Now with synchronize_rcu_tasks(),
it will wait till all tasks have either voluntarily scheduled (not on the
trampoline) or goes into userspace (not on the trampoline). Then it is safe
to free the trampoline even with CONFIG_PREEMPT set.

When a kretprobe is installed on a kernel function, there is a maximum
limit of how many calls in parallel it can catch (aka "maxactive"). A
kernel module could call register_kretprobe() and initialize maxactive
(see example in samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c).
But that is not exposed to userspace and it is currently not possible to
choose maxactive when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
The default maxactive can be as low as 1 on single-core with a
non-preemptive kernel. This is too low and we need to increase it not
only for recursive functions, but for functions that sleep or resched.
This patch updates the format of the command that can be written to
kprobe_events so that maxactive can be optionally specified.
I need this for a bpf program attached to the kretprobe of

Relying on free_reserved_area() to call ftrace to free init memory proved to
not be sufficient. The issue is that on x86, when debug_pagealloc is
enabled, the init memory is not freed, but simply set as not present. Since
ftrace was uninformed of this, starting function tracing still tries to
update pages that are not present according to the page tables, causing
ftrace to bug, as well as killing the kernel itself.
Instead of relying on free_reserved_area(), have init/main.c call ftrace
directly just before it frees the init memory. Then it needs to use
__init_begin and __init_end to know where the init memory location is.
Looking at all archs (and testing what I can), it appears that this should
work for each of them.

This is because the "pos" variable is updated for the comment, but func_pos
is not. "func_pos" is used by the triggers (or hashes) to know how many
functions were printed and it bases its index from the pos - func_pos.
func_pos should be 1 to count for the comment printed. But since it is not,
t_hash_start() thinks that one trigger was already printed.
The cat gets to t_hash_start() via t_next() and not t_start() which updates
both pos and func_pos.

Instead of testing if the hash to use is the filter_hash or the notrace_hash
at each iteration, do the test at open, and set the iter->hash to point to
the corresponding filter or notrace hash. Then use that directly instead of
testing which hash needs to be used each iteration.

The return status check of __seq_open_private() is rather strange:
iter = __seq_open_private();
if (iter) {
/* do stuff */
}
return iter ? 0 : -ENOMEM;
It makes much more sense to do the return of failure right away:
iter = __seq_open_private();
if (!iter)
return -ENOMEM;
/* do stuff */
return 0;
This clean up will make updates to this code a bit nicer.
