commit c1acb4ac1a892cf08d27efcb964ad281728b0545 upstream.

The nesting count of trace_printk allows for 4 levels of nesting. The
nesting counter starts at zero and is incremented before being used to
retrieve the current context's buffer. But the index to the buffer uses the
nesting counter after it was incremented, and not its original number,
which in needs to do.

<title>tracing: Fix trace_find_next_entry() accounting of temp buffer size</title>

<id>urn:sha1:851e6f61cd076954f9d521e0d79b173ad3a2453b</id>
<content type='text'>
The temp buffer size variable for trace_find_next_entry() was incorrectly
being updated when the size did not change. The temp buffer size should only
be updated when it is reallocated.

This is mostly an issue when used with ftrace_dump(). That's because
ftrace_dump() can not allocate a new buffer, and instead uses a temporary
buffer with a fix size. But the variable that keeps track of that size is
incorrectly updated with each call, and it could fall into the path that
would try to reallocate the buffer and produce a warning.

Not only fix the updating of the temp buffer, but also do not free the temp
buffer before a new buffer is allocated (there's no reason to not continue
to use the current temp buffer if an allocation fails).

<title>tracing: Make the space reserved for the pid wider</title>

<id>urn:sha1:795d6379a47bcbb88bd95a69920e4acc52849f88</id>
<content type='text'>
For 64bit CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=0 systems PID_MAX_LIMIT is set by default to
4194304. During boot the kernel sets a new value based on number of CPUs
but no lower than 32768. It is 1024 per CPU so with 128 CPUs the default
becomes 131072 which needs six digits.
This value can be increased during run time but must not exceed the
initial upper limit.

Systemd sometime after v241 sets it to the upper limit during boot. The
result is that when the pid exceeds five digits, the trace output is a
little hard to read because it is no longer properly padded (same like
on big iron with 98+ CPUs).

Increase the pid padding to seven digits.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - The biggest news in that the tracing ring buffer can now time events
   that interrupted other ring buffer events.

   Before this change, if an interrupt came in while recording another
   event, and that interrupt also had an event, those events would all
   have the same time stamp as the event it interrupted.

   Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time stamp
   and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded
   while interrupting another event.

 - Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a
   default config, but then add options to override the default.

 - A fix was made to properly filter function graph tracing to the
   ftrace PIDs. This came in at the end of the -rc cycle, and needs to
   be backported.

 - Several clean ups, performance updates, and minor fixes as well.

<content type='text'>
As trace_array_printk() used with not global instances will not add noise to
the main buffer, they are OK to have in the kernel (unlike trace_printk()).
This require the subsystem to create their own tracing instance, and the
trace_array_printk() only writes into those instances.

Add trace_array_init_printk() to initialize the trace_printk() buffers
without printing out the WARNING message.

High order memory stuff within trace could introduce OOM, use kvzalloc instead.

Please find the bellowing for the call stack we run across in an android system.
The scenario happens when traced_probes is woken up to get a large quantity of
trace even if free memory is even higher than watermark_low.

This comment describes the behaviour before commit 2a820bf74918
("tracing: Use percpu stack trace buffer more intelligently").  Since
that commit, interrupts and NMIs do use the per-cpu stacks so the
comment is no longer correct.  Remove it.

(Note that the FTRACE_STACK_SIZE mentioned in the comment has never
existed, it probably should have said FTRACE_STACK_ENTRIES.)

This is a preparation for debugfs restricted mode.
We don't need debugfs to trace, the removed check stop tracefs to work
if debugfs is not initialised. We instead tries to automount within
debugfs and relay on it's handling. The code path is to create a
backward compatibility from when tracefs was part of debugfs, it is now
standalone and does not need debugfs. When debugfs is in restricted
it is compiled in but not active and return EPERM to clients and
tracefs wont work if it assumes it is active it is compiled in
kernel.
