Error injection is sloppy and very ad-hoc.  BPF could fill this niche
perfectly with it's kprobe functionality.  We could make sure errors are
only triggered in specific call chains that we care about with very
specific situations.  Accomplish this with the bpf_override_funciton
helper.  This will modify the probe'd callers return value to the
specified value and set the PC to an override function that simply
returns, bypassing the originally probed function.  This gives us a nice
clean way to implement systematic error injection for all of our code
paths.

<title>bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for a single perf event</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e87c6bc3852b981e71c757be20771546ce9f76f3</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch enables multiple bpf attachments for a
kprobe/uprobe/tracepoint single trace event.
Each trace_event keeps a list of attached perf events.
When an event happens, all attached bpf programs will
be executed based on the order of attachment.

A global bpf_event_mutex lock is introduced to protect
prog_array attaching and detaching. An alternative will
be introduce a mutex lock in every trace_event_call
structure, but it takes a lot of extra memory.
So a global bpf_event_mutex lock is a good compromise.

The bpf prog detachment involves allocation of memory.
If the allocation fails, a dummy do-nothing program
will replace to-be-detached program in-place.

Revert commit:

  75e8387685f6 ("perf/ftrace: Fix double traces of perf on ftrace:function")

The reason I instantly stumbled on that patch is that it only addresses the
ftrace situation and doesn't mention the other _5_ places that use this
interface. It doesn't explain why those don't have the problem and if not, why
their solution doesn't work for ftrace.

It doesn't, but this is just putting more duct tape on.

<title>tracing: Make traceprobe parsing code reusable</title>

traceprobe_probes_write() and traceprobe_command() actually contain
nothing that ties them to kprobes - the code is generically useful for
similar types of parsing elsewhere, so separate it out and move it to
trace.c/trace.h.

Other than moving it, the only change is in naming:
traceprobe_probes_write() becomes trace_parse_run_command() and
traceprobe_command() becomes trace_run_command().

<id>urn:sha1:75e8387685f6c65feb195a4556110b58f852b848</id>
<content type='text'>
When running perf on the ftrace:function tracepoint, there is a bug
which can be reproduced by:

  perf record -e ftrace:function -a sleep 20 &amp;
  perf record -e ftrace:function ls
  perf script

              ls 10304 [005]   171.853235: ftrace:function:
  perf_output_begin
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853237: ftrace:function:
  perf_output_begin
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853239: ftrace:function:
  task_tgid_nr_ns
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853240: ftrace:function:
  task_tgid_nr_ns
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853242: ftrace:function:
  __task_pid_nr_ns
              ls 10304 [005]   171.853244: ftrace:function:
  __task_pid_nr_ns

We can see that all the function traces are doubled.

The problem is caused by the inconsistency of the register
function perf_ftrace_event_register() with the probe function
perf_ftrace_function_call(). The former registers one probe
for every perf_event. And the latter handles all perf_events
on the current cpu. So when two perf_events on the current cpu,
the traces of them will be doubled.

So this patch adds an extra parameter "event" for perf_tp_event,
only send sample data to this event when it's not NULL.

When we derive event names, convert some expected symbols (such as ':'
used to specify module:name and '.' present in some symbols) into
underscores so that the event name is not rejected.

Before this patch:
    # echo 'p kobject_example:foo_store' &gt; kprobe_events
    trace_kprobe: Failed to allocate trace_probe.(-22)
    -sh: write error: Invalid argument

After this patch:
    # echo 'p kobject_example:foo_store' &gt; kprobe_events
    # cat kprobe_events
    p:kprobes/p_kobject_example_foo_store_0 kobject_example:foo_store
