Unify all event and metric descriptions in JSON format. Now event

From users point of view, perf list will provide richer information

$ perf list hw
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):
legacy hardware:
branch-instructions
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branches]. Unit: cpu]
branch-misses
[Mispredicted branch instructions. Unit: cpu]
branches
[Retired branch instructions [This event is an alias of branch-instructions]. Unit: cpu]
bus-cycles
[Bus cycles,which can be different from total cycles. Unit: cpu]
cache-misses
[Cache misses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache misses; this is intended to be used in conjunction with the
PERF_COUNT_HW_CACHE_REFERENCES event to calculate cache miss rates. Unit: cpu]
cache-references
[Cache accesses. Usually this indicates Last Level Cache accesses but this may vary depending on your CPU. This may include
prefetches and coherency messages; again this depends on the design of your CPU. Unit: cpu]

ref-cycles

But most notable changes would be in the perf stat. On the right side,
the default metrics are better named and aligned. :)
$ perf stat -- perf test -w noploop
Performance counter stats for 'perf test -w noploop':
With the kernel support (commit c69993ecdd4d: "perf: Support deferred
user unwind"), perf can use deferred callchains for userspace stack
trace with frame pointers like below:
$ perf record --call-graph fp,defer ...
This will be transparent to users when it comes to other commands like
perf report and perf script. They will merge the deferred callchains
to the previous samples as if they were collected together.
ARM SPE updates
- Extensive enhancements to support various kinds of memory
operations including GCS, MTE allocation tags, memcpy/memset,
register access, and SIMD operations.
- Add inverted data source filter (inv_data_src_filter) support to
exclude certain data sources.
- Improve documentation.
Vendor event updates:
- Intel: Updated event files for Sierra Forest, Panther Lake, Meteor
Lake, Lunar Lake, Granite Rapids, and others.
- Arm64: Added metrics for i.MX94 DDR PMU and Cortex-A720AE
definitions.
- RISC-V: Added JSON support for T-HEAD C920V2.
Misc:
- Improve pointer tracking in data type profiling. It'd give better
output when the variable is using container_of() to convert type.
- Annotation support for perf c2c report in TUI. Press 'a' key to

ocfs2: fix xattr array entry __counted_by error
Commit 2f26f58df041 ("ocfs2: annotate flexible array members with
__counted_by_le()") started annotating the flexible arrays used by
ocfs2, and now gcc complains about ocfs2_reflink_xattr_header():
In function ‘fortify_memset_chk’,
inlined from ‘ocfs2_reflink_xattr_header’ at fs/ocfs2/xattr.c:6365:5:
include/linux/fortify-string.h:480:25: error: call to ‘__write_overflow_field’ declared with attribute warning: detected write beyond size of field (1st parameter); maybe use struct_group()? [-Werror=attribute-warning]
and it looks like the complaint is valid - even if the actual error
message is somewhat confusing.
The 'last' pointer points to past the end of the counted flex array, but
is used as an actual 'last' entry rather than a 'one-past-last'.
It looks like the code copied and cleared an extra entry (which is
likely harmless in practice), but I don't know ocfs2 at all. Because
it's also possible that the counted-by annotations are off-by-one, and
so this needs checking by somebody who actually knows ocfs2.
But in the meantime this fixes the build error, and certainly _looks_
sane.

cover letter:
This series introduces the Live Update Orchestrator, a kernel
subsystem designed to facilitate live kernel updates using a
kexec-based reboot. This capability is critical for cloud
environments, allowing hypervisors to be updated with minimal
downtime for running virtual machines. LUO achieves this by
preserving the state of selected resources, such as memory,
devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving
memfd file descriptors, which allows critical in-memory data, such
as guest RAM or any other large memory region, to be maintained in
RAM across the kexec reboot.
Mike Rappaport merits a mention here, for his extensive review and
testing work.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix accounting of stop_count in file release
On opening the trace file, if "pause-on-trace" option is set, it will
increment the stop_count. On file release, it checks if stop_count is
set, and if so it decrements it. Since this code was originally
written, the stop_count can be incremented by other use cases. This
makes just checking the stop_count not enough to know if it should be
decremented.
Add a new iterator flag called "PAUSE" and have it set if the open
disables tracing and only decrement the stop_count if that flag is
set on close.
- Remove length field in trace_seq_printf() of print_synth_event()
When printing the synthetic event that has a static length array
field, the vsprintf() of the trace_seq_printf() triggered a
"(efault)" in the output. That's because the print_fmt replaced the
"%.*s" with "%s" causing the arguments to be off.

Pull PCIe Link Encryption and Device Authentication from Dan Williams:
"New PCI infrastructure and one architecture implementation for PCIe
link encryption establishment via platform firmware services.
This work is the result of multiple vendors coming to consensus on
some core infrastructure (thanks Alexey, Yilun, and Aneesh!), and
three vendor implementations, although only one is included in this
pull. The PCI core changes have an ack from Bjorn, the crypto/ccp/
changes have an ack from Tom, and the iommu/amd/ changes have an ack
from Joerg.
PCIe link encryption is made possible by the soup of acronyms
mentioned in the shortlog below. Link Integrity and Data Encryption
(IDE) is a protocol for installing keys in the transmitter and
receiver at each end of a link. That protocol is transported over Data
Object Exchange (DOE) mailboxes using PCI configuration requests.
The aspect that makes this a "platform firmware service" is that the
key provisioning and protocol is coordinated through a Trusted
Execution Envrionment (TEE) Security Manager (TSM). That is either
firmware running in a coprocessor (AMD SEV-TIO), or quasi-hypervisor
software (Intel TDX Connect / ARM CCA) running in a protected CPU
mode.
Now, the only reason to ask a TSM to run this protocol and install the
keys rather than have a Linux driver do the same is so that later, a
confidential VM can ask the TSM directly "can you certify this
device?".
That precludes host Linux from provisioning its own keys, because host
Linux is outside the trust domain for the VM. It also turns out that
all architectures, save for one, do not publish a mechanism for an OS
to establish keys in the root port. So "TSM-established link
encryption" is the only cross-architecture path for this capability
for the foreseeable future.
This unblocks the other arch implementations to follow in v6.20/v7.0,
once they clear some other dependencies, and it unblocks the next
phase of work to implement the end-to-end flow of confidential device
assignment. The PCIe specification calls this end-to-end flow Trusted
Execution Environment (TEE) Device Interface Security Protocol
(TDISP).
In the meantime, Linux gets a link encryption facility which has
practical benefits along the same lines as memory encryption. It
authenticates devices via certificates and may protect against
interposer attacks trying to capture clear-text PCIe traffic.
Summary:
- Introduce the PCI/TSM core for the coordination of device
authentication, link encryption and establishment (IDE), and later
management of the device security operational states (TDISP).
Notify the new TSM core layer of PCI device arrival and departure
- Add a low level TSM driver for the link encryption establishment
capabilities of the AMD SEV-TIO architecture
- Add a library of helpers TSM drivers to use for IDE establishment
and the DOE transport
- Add skeleton support for 'bind' and 'guest_request' operations in
support of TDISP"

sched/core: Fix psi_dequeue() for Proxy Execution
Currently, if the sleep flag is set, psi_dequeue() doesn't
change any of the psi_flags.
This is because psi_task_switch() will clear TSK_ONCPU as well
as other potential flags (TSK_RUNNING), and the assumption is
that a voluntary sleep always consists of a task being dequeued
followed shortly there after with a psi_sched_switch() call.
Proxy Execution changes this expectation, as mutex-blocked tasks
that would normally sleep stay on the runqueue. But in the case
where the mutex-owning task goes to sleep, or the owner is on a
remote cpu, we will then deactivate the blocked task shortly
after.
In that situation, the mutex-blocked task will have had its
TSK_ONCPU cleared when it was switched off the cpu, but it will
stay TSK_RUNNING. Then if we later dequeue it (as currently done
if we hit a case find_proxy_task() can't yet handle, such as the
case of the owner being on another rq or a sleeping owner)
psi_dequeue() won't change any state (leaving it TSK_RUNNING),
as it incorrectly expects a psi_task_switch() call to
immediately follow.
Later on when the task get woken/re-enqueued, and psi_flags are
set for TSK_RUNNING, we hit an error as the task is already
TSK_RUNNING:
To resolve this, extend the logic in psi_dequeue() so that
if the sleep flag is set, we also check if psi_flags have
TSK_ONCPU set (meaning the psi_task_switch is imminent) before
we do the shortcut return.
If TSK_ONCPU is not set, that means we've already switched away,
and this psi_dequeue call needs to clear the flags.

sched/fair: Fix unfairness caused by stalled tg_load_avg_contrib when the last task migrates out
When a task is migrated out, there is a probability that the tg->load_avg
value will become abnormal. The reason is as follows:
1. Due to the 1ms update period limitation in update_tg_load_avg(), there
is a possibility that the reduced load_avg is not updated to tg->load_avg
when a task migrates out.
2. Even though __update_blocked_fair() traverses the leaf_cfs_rq_list and
calls update_tg_load_avg() for cfs_rqs that are not fully decayed, the key
function cfs_rq_is_decayed() does not check whether
cfs->tg_load_avg_contrib is null. Consequently, in some cases,
__update_blocked_fair() removes cfs_rqs whose avg.load_avg has not been
updated to tg->load_avg.
Add a check of cfs_rq->tg_load_avg_contrib in cfs_rq_is_decayed(),
which fixes the case (2.) mentioned above.

sched/rt: Remove a preempt-disable section in rt_mutex_setprio()
rt_mutex_setprio() has only one caller: rt_mutex_adjust_prio(). It
expects that task_struct::pi_lock and rt_mutex_base::wait_lock are held.
Both locks are raw_spinlock_t and are acquired with disabled interrupts.
Nevertheless rt_mutex_setprio() disables preemption while invoking
__balance_callbacks() and raw_spin_rq_unlock(). Even if one of the
balance callbacks unlocks the rq then it must not enable interrupts
because rt_mutex_base::wait_lock is still locked.
Therefore interrupts should remain disabled and disabling preemption is
not needed.
Commit 4c9a4bc89a9cc ("sched: Allow balance callbacks for check_class_changed()")
adds a preempt-disable section to rt_mutex_setprio() and
__sched_setscheduler(). In __sched_setscheduler() the preemption is
disabled before rq is unlocked and interrupts enabled but I don't see
why it makes a difference in rt_mutex_setprio().
Remove the preempt_disable() section from rt_mutex_setprio().

nfs/localio: fix regression due to out-of-order __put_cred
Commit f2060bdc21d7 ("nfs/localio: add refcounting for each iocb IO
associated with NFS pgio header") inadvertantly reintroduced the same
potential for __put_cred() triggering BUG_ON(cred == current->cred) that
commit 992203a1fba5 ("nfs/localio: restore creds before releasing pageio
data") fixed.
Fix this by saving and restoring the cred around each {read,write}_iter
call within the respective for loop of nfs_local_call_{read,write} using
scoped_with_creds().
NOTE: this fix started by first reverting the following commits:
94afb627dfc2 ("nfs: use credential guards in nfs_local_call_read()") bff3c841f7bd ("nfs: use credential guards in nfs_local_call_write()") 1d18101a644e ("Merge tag 'kernel-6.19-rc1.cred' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs")
followed by narrowly fixing the cred lifetime issue by using
scoped_with_creds(). In doing so, this commit's changes appear more
extensive than they really are (as evidenced by comparing to v6.18's
fs/nfs/localio.c).

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
"ARM:
- Support for userspace handling of synchronous external aborts
(SEAs), allowing the VMM to potentially handle the abort in a
non-fatal manner
- Large rework of the VGIC's list register handling with the goal of
supporting more active/pending IRQs than available list registers
in hardware. In addition, the VGIC now supports EOImode==1 style
deactivations for IRQs which may occur on a separate vCPU than the
one that acked the IRQ
- Support for FEAT_XNX (user / privileged execute permissions) and
FEAT_HAF (hardware update to the Access Flag) in the software page
table walkers and shadow MMU
- Allow page table destruction to reschedule, fixing long
need_resched latencies observed when destroying a large VM
- Minor fixes to KVM and selftests
Loongarch:
- Get VM PMU capability from HW GCFG register
- Add AVEC basic support
- Use 64-bit register definition for EIOINTC
- Add KVM timer test cases for tools/selftests
RISC/V:
- SBI message passing (MPXY) support for KVM guest
- Give a new, more specific error subcode for the case when in-kernel
AIA virtualization fails to allocate IMSIC VS-file
- Support KVM_DIRTY_LOG_INITIALLY_SET, enabling dirty log gradually
in small chunks
- Fix guest page fault within HLV* instructions
- Flush VS-stage TLB after VCPU migration for Andes cores
s390:
- Always allocate ESCA (Extended System Control Area), instead of
starting with the basic SCA and converting to ESCA with the
addition of the 65th vCPU. The price is increased number of exits
(and worse performance) on z10 and earlier processor; ESCA was
introduced by z114/z196 in 2010
- VIRT_XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK support
- Operation exception forwarding support
- Cleanups
x86:
- Skip the costly "zap all SPTEs" on an MMIO generation wrap if MMIO
SPTE caching is disabled, as there can't be any relevant SPTEs to
zap
- Relocate a misplaced export
- Fix an async #PF bug where KVM would clear the completion queue
when the guest transitioned in and out of paging mode, e.g. when
handling an SMI and then returning to paged mode via RSM
- Leave KVM's user-return notifier registered even when disabling
virtualization, as long as kvm.ko is loaded. On reboot/shutdown,
keeping the notifier registered is ok; the kernel does not use the
MSRs and the callback will run cleanly and restore host MSRs if the
CPU manages to return to userspace before the system goes down
- Use the checked version of {get,put}_user()
- Fix a long-lurking bug where KVM's lack of catch-up logic for
periodic APIC timers can result in a hard lockup in the host
- Revert the periodic kvmclock sync logic now that KVM doesn't use a
clocksource that's subject to NTP corrections
- Clean up KVM's handling of MMIO Stale Data and L1TF, and bury the
latter behind CONFIG_CPU_MITIGATIONS
- Context switch XCR0, XSS, and PKRU outside of the entry/exit fast
path; the only reason they were handled in the fast path was to
paper of a bug in the core #MC code, and that has long since been
fixed
- Add emulator support for AVX MOV instructions, to play nice with
emulated devices whose guest drivers like to access PCI BARs with
large multi-byte instructions
x86 (AMD):
- Fix a few missing "VMCB dirty" bugs
- Fix the worst of KVM's lack of EFER.LMSLE emulation
- Add AVIC support for addressing 4k vCPUs in x2AVIC mode
- Fix incorrect handling of selective CR0 writes when checking
intercepts during emulation of L2 instructions
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would clobber SPEC_CTRL[63:32]
on VMRUN and #VMEXIT
- Fix a bug where KVM corrupt the guest code stream when re-injecting
a soft interrupt if the guest patched the underlying code after the
VM-Exit, e.g. when Linux patches code with a temporary INT3
- Add KVM_X86_SNP_POLICY_BITS to advertise supported SNP policy bits
to userspace, and extend KVM "support" to all policy bits that
don't require any actual support from KVM
x86 (Intel):
- Use the root role from kvm_mmu_page to construct EPTPs instead of
the current vCPU state, partly as worthwhile cleanup, but mostly to
pave the way for tracking per-root TLB flushes, and elide EPT
flushes on pCPU migration if the root is clean from a previous
flush
- Add a few missing nested consistency checks
- Rip out support for doing "early" consistency checks via hardware
as the functionality hasn't been used in years and is no longer
useful in general; replace it with an off-by-default module param
to WARN if hardware fails a check that KVM does not perform
- Fix a currently-benign bug where KVM would drop the guest's
SPEC_CTRL[63:32] on VM-Enter
- Misc cleanups
- Overhaul the TDX code to address systemic races where KVM (acting
on behalf of userspace) could inadvertantly trigger lock contention
in the TDX-Module; KVM was either working around these in weird,
ugly ways, or was simply oblivious to them (though even Yan's
devilish selftests could only break individual VMs, not the host
kernel)
- Fix a bug where KVM could corrupt a vCPU's cpu_list when freeing a
TDX vCPU, if creating said vCPU failed partway through
- Fix a few sparse warnings (bad annotation, 0 != NULL)
- Use struct_size() to simplify copying TDX capabilities to userspace
- Fix a bug where TDX would effectively corrupt user-return MSR
values if the TDX Module rejects VP.ENTER and thus doesn't clobber
host MSRs as expected
Selftests:
- Fix a math goof in mmu_stress_test when running on a single-CPU
system/VM
- Forcefully override ARCH from x86_64 to x86 to play nice with
specifying ARCH=x86_64 on the command line
- Extend a bunch of nested VMX to validate nested SVM as well
- Add support for LA57 in the core VM_MODE_xxx macro, and add a test
to verify KVM can save/restore nested VMX state when L1 is using
5-level paging, but L2 is not
- Clean up the guest paging code in anticipation of sharing the core
logic for nested EPT and nested NPT
guest_memfd:
- Add NUMA mempolicy support for guest_memfd, and clean up a variety
of rough edges in guest_memfd along the way
- Define a CLASS to automatically handle get+put when grabbing a
guest_memfd from a memslot to make it harder to leak references
- Enhance KVM selftests to make it easer to develop and debug
selftests like those added for guest_memfd NUMA support, e.g. where
test and/or KVM bugs often result in hard-to-debug SIGBUS errors
- Misc cleanups
Generic:
- Use the recently-added WQ_PERCPU when creating the per-CPU
workqueue for irqfd cleanup
- Fix a goof in the dirty ring documentation
- Fix choice of target for directed yield across different calls to
kvm_vcpu_on_spin(); the function was always starting from the first

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
"Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
_stored_ anywhere.
That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
kill_litter_super() as ->kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).
Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
(DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.
The end result this series is aiming for:
- get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
persistency flag.
- instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
been removed prior to umount), have the regular
shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().
Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.
This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
to it.
Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
that stuff is here"

tracing: Fix fixed array of synthetic event
The commit 4d38328eb442d ("tracing: Fix synth event printk format for str

the dynamic and static strings. The commit e1a453a57bc7 ("tracing: Do not

but did not fix the static part. That is, with the commands:
Where "wakee" is defined as "char[16]" and not "char[]" making it a static
size, the code triggered the "(efaul)" again.
Remove the added STR_VAR_LEN_MAX size as the string is still going to be

tracing: Fix enabling of tracing on file release
The trace file will pause tracing if the tracing instance has the
"pause-on-trace" option is set. This happens when the file is opened, and
it is unpaused when the file is closed. When this was first added, there
was only one user that paused tracing. On open, the check to pause was:
if (!iter->snapshot && (tr->trace_flags & TRACE_ITER(PAUSE_ON_TRACE)))
Where if it is not the snapshot tracer and the "pause-on-trace" option is
set, then it increments a "stop_count" of the trace instance.
On close, the check is:
if (!iter->snapshot && tr->stop_count)
That is, if it is not the snapshot buffer and it was stopped, it will
re-enable tracing.
Now there's more places that stop tracing. This means, if something else
stops tracing the tr->stop_count will be non-zero, and that means if the
trace file is closed, it will decrement the stop_count even though it
never incremented it. This causes a warning because when the user that
stopped tracing enables it again, the stop_count goes below zero.
Instead of relying on the stop_count being set to know if the close of
the trace file should enable tracing again, add a new flag to the trace
iterator. The trace iterator is unique per open of the trace file, and if
the open stops tracing set the trace iterator PAUSE flag. On close, if the
PAUSE flag is set, then re-enable it again.

jiffies.c. Converter kernel and user space pointer args are now
automatically const qualified for the convenience of the caller. No

- Miscellaneous
Fix kernel-doc format warnings, remove unnecessary __user
qualifiers, and move the nmi_watchdog sysctl into .rodata.
- Testing
This series was run through sysctl selftests/kunit test suite in
x86_64. It went into linux-next after rc2, giving it a good 4/5 weeks
of testing.

- Fix regression of pid filtering of function graph tracer
When the function graph tracer allowed multiple instances of graph
tracing using subops, the filtering by pid broke.
The ftrace_ops->private that was used for pid filtering wasn't
updated on creation.
The wrong function entry callback was used when pid filtering was
enabled when the function graph tracer started, which meant that
the pid filtering wasn't happening.
- Remove no longer needed ftrace_trace_task()
With PID filtering working via ftrace_pids_enabled() and
fgraph_pid_func(), the coarse-grained ftrace_trace_task()
check in graph_entry() is obsolete.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Extend tracing option mask to 64 bits
The trace options were defined by a 32 bit variable. This limits the
tracing instances to have a total of 32 different options. As that
limit has been hit, and more options are being added, increase the
option mask to a 64 bit number, doubling the number of options
available.
As this is required for the kprobe topic branches as well as the
tracing topic branch, a separate branch was created and merged into
both.
- Make trace_user_fault_read() available for the rest of tracing
The function trace_user_fault_read() is used by trace_marker file
read to allow reading user space to be done fast and without locking
or allocations. Make this available so that the system call trace
events can use it too.
- Have system call trace events read user space values
Now that the system call trace events callbacks are called in a
faultable context, take advantage of this and read the user space
buffers for various system calls. For example, show the path name of
the openat system call instead of just showing the pointer to that
path name in user space. Also show the contents of the buffer of the
write system call. Several system call trace events are updated to
make tracing into a light weight strace tool for all applications in
the system.
- Update perf system call tracing to do the same
- And a config and syscall_user_buf_size file to control the size of
the buffer
Limit the amount of data that can be read from user space. The
default size is 63 bytes but that can be expanded to 165 bytes.
- Allow the persistent ring buffer to print system calls normally
The persistent ring buffer prints trace events by their type and
ignores the print_fmt. This is because the print_fmt may change from
kernel to kernel. As the system call output is fixed by the system
call ABI itself, there's no reason to limit that. This makes reading
the system call events in the persistent ring buffer much nicer and
easier to understand.
- Add options to show text offset to function profiler
The function profiler that counts the number of times a function is
hit currently lists all functions by its name and offset. But this
becomes ambiguous when there are several functions with the same
name.
Add a tracing option that changes the output to be that of
'_text+offset' instead. Now a user space tool can use this
information to map the '_text+offset' to the unique function it is
counting.
- Report bad dynamic event command
If a bad command is passed to the dynamic_events file, report it
properly in the error log.
- Clean up tracer options
Clean up the tracer option code a bit, by removing some useless code
and also using switch statements instead of a series of if
statements.
- Have tracing options be instance specific
Tracers can have their own options (function tracer, irqsoff tracer,
function graph tracer, etc). But now that the same tracer can be
enabled in multiple trace instances, their options are still global.
The API is per instance, thus changing one affects other instances.
This isn't even consistent, as the option take affect differently
depending on when an tracer started in an instance. Make the options
for instances only affect the instance it is changed under.
- Optimize pid_list lock contention
Whenever the pid_list is read, it uses a spin lock. This happens at
every sched switch. Taking the lock at sched switch can be removed by
instead using a seqlock counter.
- Clean up the trace trigger structures
The trigger code uses two different structures to implement a single
tigger. This was due to trying to reuse code for the two different
types of triggers (always on trigger, and count limited trigger). But
by adding a single field to one structure, the other structure could
be absorbed into the first structure making he code easier to
understand.
- Create a bulk garbage collector for trace triggers
If user space has triggers for several hundreds of events and then
removes them, it can take several seconds to complete. This is
because each removal calls tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() that
can take hundreds of milliseconds to complete.
Instead, create a helper thread that will do the clean up. When a
trigger is removed, it will create the kthread if it isn't already
created, and then add the trigger to a llist. The kthread will take
the items off the llist, call tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(),
and then remove the items it took off. It will then check if there's
more items to free before sleeping.
This makes user space removing all these triggers to finish in less
than a second.
- Allow function tracing of some of the tracing infrastructure code
Because the tracing code can cause recursion issues if it is traced
by the function tracer the entire tracing directory disables function
tracing. But not all of tracing causes issues if it is traced.
Namely, the event tracing code. Add a config that enables some of the
tracing code to be traced to help in debugging it. Note, when this is
enabled, it does add noise to general function tracing, especially if
events are enabled as well (which is a common case).
- Add boot-time backup instance for persistent buffer
The persistent ring buffer is used mostly for kernel crash analysis
in the field. One issue is that if there's a crash, the data in the
persistent ring buffer must be read before tracing can begin using
it. This slows down the boot process. Once tracing starts in the
persistent ring buffer, the old data must be freed and the addresses
no longer match and old events can't be in the buffer with new
events.
Create a way to create a backup buffer that copies the persistent
ring buffer at boot up. Then after a crash, the always on tracer can
begin immediately as well as the normal boot process while the crash
analysis tooling uses the backup buffer. After the backup buffer is
finished being read, it can be removed.
- Enable function graph args and return address options at the same
time
Currently the when reading of arguments in the function graph tracer
is enabled, the option to record the parent function in the entry
event can not be enabled. Update the code so that it can.
- Add new struct_offset() helper macro
Add a new macro that takes a pointer to a structure and a name of one
of its members and it will return the offset of that member. This
allows the ring buffer code to simplify the following:
There should be other simplifications that this macro can help out
with as well

Pull unused tracepoints update from Steven Rostedt:
"Detect unused tracepoints.
If a tracepoint is defined but never used (TRACE_EVENT() created but
no trace_<tracepoint>() called), it can take up to or more than 5K of
memory each. This can add up as there are around a hundred unused
tracepoints with various configs. That is 500K of wasted memory.
Add a make build parameter of "UT=1" to have the build warn if an
unused tracepoint is detected in the build. This allows detection of
unused tracepoints to be upstream so that outreachy and the mentoring
project can have new developers look for fixing them, without having
these warnings suddenly show up when someone upgrades their kernel.
When all known unused tracepoints are removed, then the "UT=1" build
parameter can be removed and unused tracepoints will always warn. This
will catch new unused tracepoints after the current ones have been
removed.
Summary:
- Separate out elf functions from sorttable.c
Move out the ELF parsing functions from sorttable.c so that the
tracing tooling can use it.
- Add a tracepoint verifier tool to the build process
If "UT=1" is added to the kernel command line, any unused
tracepoints will trigger a warning at build time.
- Do not warn about unused tracepoints for tracepoints that are
exported
There are sever cases where a tracepoint is created by the kernel
and used by modules. Since there's no easy way to detect if these
are truly unused since the users are in modules, if a tracepoint is
exported, assume it will eventually be used by a module. Note,
there's not many exported tracepoints so this should not be a
problem to ignore them.
- Have building of modules also detect unused tracepoints
Do not only check the main vmlinux for unused tracepoints, also
check modules. If a module is defining a tracepoint it should be
using it.

- Add for_each_monitored_cpu() helper
In multiple places, RTLA tools iterate over the list of CPUs running

- Remove unused variable option_index in argument parsing
RTLA tools use getopt_long() for argument parsing. For its last
argument, an unused variable "option_index" is passed.
Remove the variable and pass NULL to getopt_long() to shorten the
naturally long parsing functions, and make them more readable.
- Fix unassigned nr_cpus after code consolidation
In recent code consolidation, timerlat tool cleanup, previously
implemented separately for each tool, was moved to a common function
timerlat_free().
The cleanup relies on nr_cpus being set. This was not done in the new
function, leaving the variable uninitialized.
Initialize the variable properly, and remove silencing of compiler
warning for uninitialized variables.
- Stop tracing on user latency in BPF mode
Despite the name, rtla-timerlat's -T/--thread option sets timerlat's
stop_tracing_total_us option, which also stops tracing on
return-from-user latency, not only on thread latency.
Implement the same behavior also in BPF sample collection stop
tracing handler to avoid a discrepancy and restore correspondence of
behavior with the equivalent option of cyclictest.
- Fix threshold actions always triggering
A bug in threshold action logic caused the action to execute even if
tracing did not stop because of threshold.
Fix the logic to stop correctly.
- Fix few minor issues in tests
Extend tests that were shown to need it to 5s, fix osnoise test
calling timerlat by mistake, and use new, more reliable output
checking in timerlat's "top stop at failed action" test.
- Do not print usage on argument parsing error
RTLA prints the entire usage message on encountering errors in
argument parsing, like a malformed CPU list.
The usage message has gotten too long. Instead of printing it, use
newly added fatal() helper function to simply exit with the error
message, excluding the usage.
- Fix unintuitive -C/--cgroup interface
"-C cgroup" and "--cgroup cgroup" are invalid syntax, despite that
being a common way to specify an option with argument. Moreover,
using them fails silently and no cgroup is set.
Create new helper function to unify the handling of all such options
and allow all of:
-Xsomething
-X=something
-X something
as well as the equivalent for the long option.
- Fix -a overriding -t argument filename
Fix a bug where -a following -t custom_file.txt overrides the custom
filename with the default timerlat_trace.txt.
- Stop tracing correctly on multiple events at once
In some race scenarios, RTLA BPF sample collection might send

Compare the number of events for != 0 instead of == 1 to cover for
this scenario and stop tracing properly.

Change all these symbols to use a .L prefix to make them local to

The ro variable, being of type bool, caused the -EROFS return value from
mnt_want_write() to be implicitly converted to 1. This prevented the file

Changing the type of ro to int allows the system to correctly identify

However, by printing "cache=%x" without the leading 0x, shortcuts such
as "cache=loose" will emit "cache=f" and 'f' is not a string that is
parseable by kstrtoint(), so remounting may fail if a remount with
"cache=f" is attempted.
debug=%x has had the same problem since options have been displayed in c4fac9100456 ("9p: Implement show_options")
Fix these by adding the 0x prefix to the hexadecimal value shown in
/proc/mounts.

fbdev: ssd1307fb: fix potential page leak in ssd1307fb_probe()
The page allocated for vmem using __get_free_pages() is not freed on the
error paths after it. Fix that by adding a corresponding __free_pages()
call to the error path.

drivers/xen: use min() instead of min_t()
min_t(unsigned int, a, b) casts an 'unsigned long' to 'unsigned int'.
Use min(a, b) instead as it promotes any 'unsigned int' to 'unsigned long'
and so cannot discard significant bits.
In this case the 'unsigned long' value is small enough that the result
is ok.
