All the three macro are defined to be used for ftrace_rec_count(). This
can be achieved by (flags &amp; FTRACE_REF_MAX) directly.

Since no other places would use those macros, remove them for clarity.

Also it fixes a typo in the comment.

Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to -&gt;proc_handler")
changed ctl_table.proc_handler to take a kernel pointer. Adjust the
signature of ftrace_enable_sysctl to match ctl_table.proc_handler which
fixes the following sparse warning:

kernel/trace/ftrace.c:7544:43: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)

<title>ftrace: Add symbols for ftrace trampolines</title>

<content type='text'>
Symbols are needed for tools to describe instruction addresses. Pages
allocated for ftrace's purposes need symbols to be created for them.
Add such symbols to be visible via /proc/kallsyms.

Example on x86 with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y

	# echo function &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
	# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep '\[__builtin__ftrace\]'
	ffffffffc0238000 t ftrace_trampoline    [__builtin__ftrace]

Note: This patch adds "__builtin__ftrace" as a module name in /proc/kallsyms for
symbols for pages allocated for ftrace's purposes, even though "__builtin__ftrace"
is not a module.

I was able to trigger it on other machines, when I added to the kernel
command line of both "ftrace=function" and "trace_options=func_stack_trace".

The cause is the "ftrace=function" would register the function tracer
and create a trampoline, and it will set it as executable and
read-only. Then the "trace_options=func_stack_trace" would then update
the same trampoline to include the stack tracer version of the function
tracer. But since the trampoline already exists, it updates it with
text_poke_bp(). The problem is that text_poke_bp() called while
system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING, it will simply do a memcpy() and not
the page mapping, as it would think that the text is still read-write.
But in this case it is not, and we take a fault and crash.

Instead, lets keep the ftrace trampolines read-write during boot up,
and then when the kernel executable text is set to read-only, the
ftrace trampolines get set to read-only as well.

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove code I accidentally applied when doing a minor fix up to a
   patch, and then using "git commit -a --amend", which pulled in some
   other changes I was playing with.

 - Remove an used variable in trace_events_inject code

 - Fix function graph tracer when it traces a ftrace direct function.
   It will now ignore tracing a function that has a ftrace direct
   tramploine attached. This is needed for eBPF to use the ftrace direct
   code.
