Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The majority of the changes are for fixes and clean ups.

  Notable changes:

   - Rework trace event triggers code to be easier to interact with.

   - Support for embedding bootconfig with the kernel (as suppose to
     having it embedded in initram). This is useful for embedded boards
     without initram disks.

   - Speed up boot by parallelizing the creation of tracefs files.

   - Allow absolute ring buffer timestamps handle timestamps that use
     more than 59 bits.

   - Added new tracing clock "TAI" (International Atomic Time)

   - Have weak functions show up in available_filter_function list as:
     __ftrace_invalid_address___&lt;invalid-offset&gt; instead of using the
     name of the function before it"

Max Filippov reported:

When building kernel with CONFIG_KRETPROBES=n kernel/kprobes.c
compilation fails with the following messages:

  kernel/kprobes.c: In function ‘recycle_rp_inst’:
  kernel/kprobes.c:1273:32: error: implicit declaration of function
                                   ‘get_kretprobe’

  kernel/kprobes.c: In function ‘kprobe_flush_task’:
  kernel/kprobes.c:1299:35: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member
                                   named ‘kretprobe_instances’

This came from the commit d741bf41d7c7 ("kprobes: Remove
kretprobe hash") which introduced get_kretprobe() and
kretprobe_instances member in task_struct when CONFIG_KRETPROBES=y,
but did not make recycle_rp_inst() and kprobe_flush_task()
depending on CONFIG_KRETPORBES.

Since those functions are only used for kretprobe, move those
functions into #ifdef CONFIG_KRETPROBE area.

<content type='text'>
The recent kernel change in 73f9b911faa7 ("kprobes: Use rethook for kretprobe
if possible"), introduced a potential NULL pointer dereference bug in the
KRETPROBE mechanism. The official Kprobes documentation defines that "Any or
all handlers can be NULL". Unfortunately, there is a missing return handler
verification to fulfill these requirements and can result in a NULL pointer
dereference bug.

This patch adds such verification in kretprobe_rethook_handler() function.

Use rethook for kretprobe function return hooking if the arch sets
CONFIG_HAVE_RETHOOK=y. In this case, CONFIG_KRETPROBE_ON_RETHOOK is
set to 'y' automatically, and the kretprobe internal data fields
switches to use rethook. If not, it continues to use kretprobe
specific function return hooks.

<content type='text'>
In order to allow kprobes to skip the ENDBR instructions at sym+0 for
X86_KERNEL_IBT builds, change _kprobe_addr() to take an architecture
callback to inspect the function at hand and modify the offset if
needed.

This streamlines the existing interface to cover more cases and
require less hooks. Once PowerPC gets fully converted there will only
be the one arch hook.

<content type='text'>
Currently a lot of ftrace code assumes __fentry__ is at sym+0. However
with Intel IBT enabled the first instruction of a function will most
likely be ENDBR.

Change ftrace_location() to not only return the __fentry__ location
when called for the __fentry__ location, but also when called for the
sym+0 location.

Then audit/update all callsites of this function to consistently use
these new semantics.

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong.  The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

Move sysctl_kprobes_optimization from kernel/sysctl.c to
kernel/kprobes.c.  Use register_sysctl() to register the sysctl
interface.

<title>kprobes: Limit max data_size of the kretprobe instances</title>

The 'kprobe::data_size' is unsigned, thus it can not be negative.  But if
user sets it enough big number (e.g. (size_t)-8), the result of 'data_size
+ sizeof(struct kretprobe_instance)' becomes smaller than sizeof(struct
kretprobe_instance) or zero. In result, the kretprobe_instance are
allocated without enough memory, and kretprobe accesses outside of
allocated memory.

To avoid this issue, introduce a max limitation of the
kretprobe::data_size. 4KB per instance should be OK.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a
   stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback.

 - Fix to bootconfig parsing

 - Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only
   denying others). There's been pressure to allow non root to tracefs
   in a controlled fashion, and using groups is probably the safest.

 - Bootconfig memory managament updates.

 - Bootconfig clean up to have the tools directory be less dependent on
   changes in the kernel tree.

 - Allow perf to be traced by function tracer.

 - Rewrite of function graph tracer to be a callback from the function
   tracer instead of having its own trampoline (this change will happen
   on an arch by arch basis, and currently only x86_64 implements it).

 - Allow multiple direct trampolines (bpf hooks to functions) be batched
   together in one synchronization.

 - Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform
   calculations against the event's fields.

 - Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace
   trampoline to allow for proper parameter prototypes and prevent
   warnings from the compiler.

 - Extend histogram triggers to key off of variables.

 - Have trace recursion use bit magic to determine preempt context over
   if branches.

 - Have trace recursion disable preemption as all use cases do anyway.

 - Added testing for verification of tracing utilities.

 - Various small clean ups and fixes.

<content type='text'>
This converts the kprobes testcases to use the kunit framework.
It adds a dependency on CONFIG_KUNIT, and the output will change
to TAP:

TAP version 14
1..1
    # Subtest: kprobes_test
    1..4
random: crng init done
    ok 1 - test_kprobe
    ok 2 - test_kprobes
    ok 3 - test_kretprobe
    ok 4 - test_kretprobes
ok 1 - kprobes_test

Note that the kprobes testcases are no longer run immediately after
kprobes initialization, but as a late initcall when kunit is
initialized. kprobes itself is initialized with an early initcall,
so the order is still correct.
