<content type='text'>
The kvfree_rcu() macro's single-argument form is deprecated.  Therefore
switch to the new kvfree_rcu_mightsleep() variant. The goal is to
avoid accidental use of the single-argument forms, which can introduce
functionality bugs in atomic contexts and latency bugs in non-atomic
contexts.

print_probe_args is currently inplemented in trace_probe_tmpl.h and
included by *probes, as a result, each probe has an identical copy.

This patch will move it to trace_probe.c as an new API, each probe
calls it to print their args in trace file.

<title>tracing/probe: add a char type to show the character value of traced arguments</title>

<id>urn:sha1:8478cca1e3abd183f309cd9c2491f484acf5d377</id>
<content type='text'>
There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced
arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug
convinience. I add a new type named 'char' to do it and a new test case
file named 'kprobe_args_char.tc' to do selftest for char type.

For example:

The to be traced function is 'void demo_func(char type, char *name);', we
can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want:

echo  'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' &gt; kprobe_events

we will get the following trace log:

... myprobe: (demo_func+0x0/0x29) arg1='A' arg2={'b','p','f','1',''}

Pull trace probes updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - New "symstr" type for dynamic events that writes the name of the
   function+offset into the ring buffer and not just the address

 - Prevent kernel symbol processing on addresses in user space probes
   (uprobes).

 - And minor fixes and clean ups

* tag 'trace-probes-v6.2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace:
  tracing/probes: Reject symbol/symstr type for uprobe
  tracing/probes: Add symstr type for dynamic events

Since uprobe's argument must contain the user-space data, that
should not be converted to kernel symbols. Reject if user
specifies these types on uprobe events. e.g.

 sh: write error: Invalid argument
 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 'p /bin/sh:10 %ax:symstr' &gt;&gt; uprobe_events

<id>urn:sha1:b26a124cbfa80f42bfc4e63e1d5643ca98159d66</id>
<content type='text'>
Add 'symstr' type for storing the kernel symbol as a string data
instead of the symbol address. This allows us to filter the
events by wildcard symbol name.

e.g.
  # echo 'e:wqfunc workqueue.workqueue_execute_start symname=$function:symstr' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
  # cat events/eprobes/wqfunc/format
  name: wqfunc
  ID: 2110
  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:__data_loc char[] symname;	offset:8;	size:4;	signed:1;

  print fmt: " symname=\"%s\"", __get_str(symname)

Note that there is already 'symbol' type which just change the
print format (so it still stores the symbol address in the tracing
ring buffer.) On the other hand, 'symstr' type stores the actual
"symbol+offset/size" data as a string.

<title>tracing/probes: Handle system names with hyphens</title>

<id>urn:sha1:575b76cb885532aae13a9d979fd476bb2b156cb9</id>
<content type='text'>
When creating probe names, a check is done to make sure it matches basic C
standard variable naming standards. Basically, starts with alphabetic or
underline, and then the rest of the characters have alpha-numeric or
underline in them.

But system names do not have any true naming conventions, as they are
created by the TRACE_SYSTEM macro and nothing tests to see what they are.
The "xhci-hcd" trace events has a '-' in the system name. When trying to
attach a eprobe to one of these trace points, it fails because the system
name does not follow the variable naming convention because of the
hyphen, and the eprobe checks fail on this.

Allow hyphens in the system name so that eprobes can attach to the
"xhci-hcd" trace events.

<title>tracing/probes: Have kprobes and uprobes use $COMM too</title>

<content type='text'>
Both $comm and $COMM can be used to get current-&gt;comm in eprobes and the
filtering and histogram logic. Make kprobes and uprobes consistent in this
regard and allow both $comm and $COMM as well. Currently kprobes and
uprobes only handle $comm, which is inconsistent with the other utilities,
and can be confusing to users.

<content type='text'>
The variable $comm is hard coded as a string, which is true for both
kprobes and uprobes, but for event probes (eprobes) it is a field name. In
most cases the "comm" field would be a string, but there's no guarantee of
that fact.

Do not assume that comm is a string. Not to mention, it currently forces
comm fields to fault, as string processing for event probes is currently
broken.

While playing with event probes (eprobes), I tried to see what would
happen if I attempted to retrieve the instruction pointer (%rip) knowing
that event probes do not use pt_regs. The result was:

Obviously this is not the desired result.

Move the testing for TPARG_FL_TPOINT which is only used for event probes
to the top of the "$" variable check, as all the other variables are not
used for event probes. Also add a check in the register parsing "%" to
fail if an event probe is used.
