[ Upstream commit 938aa33f14657c9ed9deea348b7d6f14b6d69cb7 ]

The string copies to the histogram storage has a max size of 256 bytes
(defined by MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL). Only the string size of the event field
needs to be copied to the event storage, but no more than what is in the
event storage. Although nothing should be bigger than 256 bytes, there's
no protection against overwriting of the storage if one day there is.

Copy no more than the destination size, and enforce it.

Also had to turn MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL into an unsigned int, to keep the
min() comparison of the string sizes of comparable types.

Use a more generic form for __section that requires quotes to avoid
complications with clang and gcc differences.

Remove the quote operator # from compiler_attributes.h __section macro.

Convert all unquoted __section(foo) uses to quoted __section("foo").
Also convert __attribute__((section("foo"))) uses to __section("foo")
even if the __attribute__ has multiple list entry forms.

Conversion done using the script at:

In order to have the iterator read the buffer even when it's still updating,
it requires that the ring buffer iterator saves each event in a separate
location outside the ring buffer such that its use is immutable.

There's one use case that saves off the event returned from the ring buffer
interator and calls it again to look at the next event, before going back to
use the first event. As the ring buffer iterator will only have a single
copy, this use case will no longer be supported.

Instead, have the one use case create its own buffer to store the first
event when looking at the next event. This way, when looking at the first
event again, it wont be corrupted by the second read.

<content type='text'>
Move the checking, buffer reserve and buffer commit code in
synth_event_trace_start/end() into inline functions
__synth_event_trace_start/end() so they can also be used by
synth_event_trace() and synth_event_trace_array(), and then have all
those functions use them.

Also, change synth_event_trace_state.enabled to disabled so it only
needs to be set if the event is disabled, which is not normally the
case.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Added new "bootconfig".

   This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options,
   and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers.

   Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup.

   Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line.

 - Created dynamic event creation.

   Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe
   events.

 - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer"

 - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer"

   Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer"

 - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code.

 - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized

 - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly

 - Various other small fixes and clean ups

The dynevent_cmd commands that build up the command string don't need
to do that themselves - there's a seq_buf facility that does pretty
much the same thing those command are doing manually, so use it
instead.

Add functions used to generate kprobe event commands, built on top of
the dynevent_cmd interface.

kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() is used to create a kprobe event command
using a variable arg list, and kretprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() does
the same for kretprobe event commands.  kprobe_event_add_fields() can
be used to add single fields one by one or as a group.  Once all
desired fields are added, kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end() or
kretprobe_event_gen_cmd_end() respectively are used to actually
execute the command and create the event.

<id>urn:sha1:8dcc53ad956d2caf4c5c2dda196e6801b71a3154</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an exported function named synth_event_trace(), allowing modules
or other kernel code to trace synthetic events.

Also added are several functions that allow the same functionality to
be broken out in a piecewise fashion, which are useful in situations
where tracing an event from a full array of values would be
cumbersome.  Those functions are synth_event_trace_start/end() and
synth_event_add_(next)_val().

Add functions used to generate synthetic event commands, built on top
of the dynevent_cmd interface.

synth_event_gen_cmd_start() is used to create a synthetic event
command using a variable arg list and
synth_event_gen_cmd_array_start() does the same thing but using an
array of field descriptors.  synth_event_add_field(),
synth_event_add_field_str() and synth_event_add_fields() can be used
to add single fields one by one or as a group.  Once all desired
fields are added, synth_event_gen_cmd_end() is used to actually
execute the command and create the event.

synth_event_create() does everything, including creating the event, in
a single call.
