<content type='text'>
commit 9a571c1e275cedacd48c66a6bddd0c23f1dffdbf upstream.

Since the BTF type setting updates probe_arg::type, the type size
calculation and setting print-fmt should be done after that.
Without this fix, the argument size and print-fmt can be wrong.

commit 8c427cc2fa73684ea140999e121b7b6c1c717632 upstream.

Fix to show a parse error for bad type (non-string) for $comm/$COMM and
immediate-string. With this fix, error_log file shows appropriate error
message as below.

 /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 'p vfs_read \"hoge":u32' &gt;&gt; kprobe_events

<id>urn:sha1:27973e5c64b9e6dbea06a3ee86ed7509147b3848</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a string type checking with BTF information if possible.
This will check whether the given BTF argument (and field) is
signed char array or pointer to signed char. If not, it reject
the 'string' type. If it is pointer to signed char, it adds
a dereference opration so that it can correctly fetch the
string data from memory.

 # echo 'f getname_flags%return retval-&gt;name:string' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events
 # echo 't sched_switch next-&gt;comm:string' &gt;&gt; dynamic_events

The above cases, 'struct filename::name' is 'char *' and
'struct task_struct::comm' is 'char []'. But in both case,
user can specify ':string' to fetch the string data.

Support BTF argument on '$retval' for function return events including
kretprobe and fprobe for accessing the return value.
This also allows user to access its fields if the return value is a
pointer of a data structure.

 # echo 1 &gt; events/fprobes/getname_flags__exit/enable

Move generic function-proto find API and getting function parameter API
to BTF library code from trace_probe.c. This will avoid redundant efforts
on different feature.

<title>tracing/probes: Support BTF argument on module functions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b1d1e90490b671444ebf66292201572c1059d323</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the btf returned from bpf_get_btf_vmlinux() only covers functions in
the vmlinux, BTF argument is not available on the functions in the modules.
Use bpf_find_btf_id() instead of bpf_get_btf_vmlinux()+btf_find_name_kind()
so that BTF argument can find the correct struct btf and btf_type in it.
With this fix, fprobe events can use `$arg*` on module functions as below

 # grep nf_log_ip_packet /proc/kallsyms
ffffffffa0005c00 t nf_log_ip_packet	[nf_log_syslog]
ffffffffa0005bf0 t __pfx_nf_log_ip_packet	[nf_log_syslog]
 # echo 'f nf_log_ip_packet $arg*' &gt; dynamic_events
 # cat dynamic_events
f:fprobes/nf_log_ip_packet__entry nf_log_ip_packet net=net pf=pf hooknum=hooknum skb=skb in=in out=out loginfo=loginfo prefix=prefix

To support the module's btf which is removable, the struct btf needs to be
ref-counted. So this also records the btf in the traceprobe_parse_context
and returns the refcount when the parse has done.

Since find_btf_func_param() abd btf_type_by_id() can return NULL,
the caller must check the return value correctly.

Pull probe fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - fprobe: Add a comment why fprobe will be skipped if another kprobe is
   running in fprobe_kprobe_handler().

 - probe-events: Fix some issues related to fetch-arguments:

    - Fix double counting of the string length for user-string and
      symstr. This will require longer buffer in the array case.

    - Fix not to count error code (minus value) for the total used
      length in array argument. This makes the total used length
      shorter.

    - Fix to update dynamic used data size counter only if fetcharg uses
      the dynamic size data. This may mis-count the used dynamic data
      size and corrupt data.

    - Revert "tracing: Add "(fault)" name injection to kernel probes"
      because that did not work correctly with a bug, and we agreed the
      current '(fault)' output (instead of '"(fault)"' like a string)
      explains what happened more clearly.

    - Fix to record 0-length (means fault access) data_loc data in fetch
      function itself, instead of store_trace_args(). If we record an
      array of string, this will fix to save fault access data on each
      entry of the array correctly.

This reverts commit 2e9906f84fc7c99388bb7123ade167250d50f1c0.

It was turned out that commit 2e9906f84fc7 ("tracing: Add "(fault)"
name injection to kernel probes") did not work correctly and probe
events still show just '(fault)' (instead of '"(fault)"'). Also,
current '(fault)' is more explicit that it faulted.

This also moves FAULT_STRING macro to trace.h so that synthetic
event can keep using it, and uses it in trace_probe.c too.
