commit d045437a169f899dfb0f6f7ede24cc042543ced9 upstream.

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.

Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a -&gt;reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.

Commit 9b63776fa3ca9 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.

One documented way to enable all events is to:

 cat available_events &gt; set_event

But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:

 cat: write error: Invalid argument

<title>tracing: Fix array size mismatch in format string</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c0316f975b1a29a1161f86d524150f493188e9b2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 87291347c49dc40aa339f587b209618201c2e527 upstream.

In event format strings, the array size is reported in two locations.
One in array subscript and then via the "size:" attribute. The values
reported there have a mismatch.

For e.g., in sched:sched_switch the prev_comm and next_comm character
arrays have subscript values as [32] where as the actual field size is
16.

name: sched_switch
ID: 301
format:
        field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
        field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3;       size:1;signed:0;
        field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4; signed:1;

        field:char prev_comm[32];       offset:8;       size:16;        signed:1;
        field:pid_t prev_pid;   offset:24;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:int prev_prio;    offset:28;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:long prev_state;  offset:32;      size:8; signed:1;
        field:char next_comm[32];       offset:40;      size:16;        signed:1;
        field:pid_t next_pid;   offset:56;      size:4; signed:1;
        field:int next_prio;    offset:60;      size:4; signed:1;

After bisection, the following commit was blamed:
92edca0 tracing: Use direct field, type and system names

This commit removes the duplication of strings for field-&gt;name and
field-&gt;type assuming that all the strings passed in
__trace_define_field() are immutable. This is not true for arrays, where
the type string is created in event_storage variable and field-&gt;type for
all array fields points to event_storage.

Use __stringify() to create a string constant for the type string.

Also, get rid of event_storage and event_storage_mutex that are not
needed anymore.

also, an added benefit is that this reduces the overhead of events a bit more:

commit 45ab2813d40d88fc575e753c38478de242d03f88 upstream.

If a module fails to add its tracepoints due to module tainting, do not
create the module event infrastructure in the debugfs directory. As the events
will not work and worse yet, they will silently fail, making the user wonder
why the events they enable do not display anything.

Having a warning on module load and the events not visible to the users
will make the cause of the problem much clearer.

Move trace_module_nb under CONFIG_MODULES and kill the dummy
trace_module_notify(). Imho it doesn't make sense to define
"struct notifier_block" and its .notifier_call just to avoid
"ifdef" in event_trace_init(), and all other !CONFIG_MODULES
code has already gone away.

Now that event_create_dir() and __trace_add_new_event() always
use the same file_operations we can kill these arguments and
simplify the code.

trace_create_file_ops() allocates the copy of id/filter/format/enable
file_operations to set "f_op-&gt;owner = mod" for fops_get().

However after the recent changes there is no reason to prevent rmmod
even if one of these files is opened. A file operation can do nothing
but fail after remove_event_file_dir() clears -&gt;i_private for every
file removed by trace_module_remove_events().

Kill "struct ftrace_module_file_ops" and fix the compilation errors.

<title>tracing: Add comment to describe special break case in probe_remove_event_call()</title>

The "break" used in the do_for_each_event_file() is used as an optimization
as the loop is really a double loop. The loop searches all event files
for each trace_array. There's only one matching event file per trace_array
and after we find the event file for the trace_array, the break is used
to jump to the next trace_array and start the search there.

As this is not a standard way of using "break" in C code, it requires
a comment right before the break to let people know what is going on.

<title>tracing: trace_remove_event_call() should fail if call/file is in use</title>

Change trace_remove_event_call(call) to return the error if this
call is active. This is what the callers assume but can't verify
outside of the tracing locks. Both trace_kprobe.c/trace_uprobe.c
need the additional changes, unregister_trace_probe() should abort
if trace_remove_event_call() fails.

The caller is going to free this call/file so we must ensure that
nobody can use them after trace_remove_event_call() succeeds.
debugfs should be fine after the previous changes and event_remove()
does TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER, but still there are 2 reasons why we need
the additional checks:

- There could be a perf_event(s) attached to this tp_event, so the
  patch checks -&gt;perf_refcount.

- TRACE_REG_UNREGISTER can be suppressed by FTRACE_EVENT_FL_SOFT_MODE,
  so we simply check FTRACE_EVENT_FL_ENABLED protected by event_mutex.

Change remove_event_file_dir() to clear -&gt;i_private for every
file we are going to remove.

We need to check file-&gt;dir != NULL because event_create_dir()
can fail. debugfs_remove_recursive(NULL) is fine but the patch
moves it under the same check anyway for readability.

spin_lock(d_lock) and "d_inode != NULL" check are not needed
afaics, but I do not understand this code enough.

tracing_open_generic_file() and tracing_release_generic_file()
can go away, ftrace_enable_fops and ftrace_event_filter_fops()
use tracing_open_generic() but only to check tracing_disabled.

This fixes all races with event_remove() or instance_delete().
f_op-&gt;read/write/whatever can never use the freed file/call,
all event/* files were changed to check and use -&gt;i_private
under event_mutex.

Note: this doesn't not fix other problems, event_remove() can
destroy the active ftrace_event_call, we need more changes but
those changes are completely orthogonal.
