Linus Torvalds 06afb0f361 tracing updates for v6.13:
- Addition of faultable tracepoints
 
   There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit. This
   location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are called under
   an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can sleep. This limits
   the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault in user space system call
   parameters. Now these tracepoints have been made "faultable", allowing the
   callbacks to fault in user space parameters and record them.
 
   Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers (perf,
   ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow faults.
 
 - Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic
 
 - Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API
 
 - Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used
 
 - Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic
 
 - Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()
 
 - Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr()
 
 - Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled
 
 - Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with atomic64_inc_return(counter)
 
 - Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE
 
 - Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used
 
 - Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph tracer
   is also running.
 
   When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer,
   the parent function of the function tracer sometimes is
   "return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record
   the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the
   fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address.
 
 - Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure
 
 - Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack function
   filter.
 
   echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
 
   Would cause a kernel NULL dereference.
 
 - Minor clean ups

 - Addition of faultable tracepoints

   There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit.
   This location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are
   called under an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can
   sleep. This limits the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault
   in user space system call parameters. Now these tracepoints have been
   made "faultable", allowing the callbacks to fault in user space
   parameters and record them.

   Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers
   (perf, ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow
   faults.

 - Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic

 - Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API

 - Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used

 - Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic

 - Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()

 - Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr()

 - Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled

 - Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with
   atomic64_inc_return(counter)

 - Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE

 - Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used

 - Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph
   tracer is also running.

   When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer, the
   parent function of the function tracer sometimes is
   "return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record
   the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the
   fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address.

 - Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure

 - Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack
   function filter.

     echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter

   Would cause a kernel NULL dereference.

 - Minor clean ups
