tracing/kprobe: Fix uninitialized variable bug

2020-02-10T17:07:42Z

There is a potential execution path in which variable *ret* is returned without being properly initialized, previously. Fix this by initializing variable *ret* to 0.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt: - Added new "bootconfig". This looks for a file appended to initrd to add boot config options, and has been discussed thoroughly at Linux Plumbers. Very useful for adding kprobes at bootup. Only enabled if "bootconfig" is on the real kernel command line. - Created dynamic event creation. Merges common code between creating synthetic events and kprobe events. - Rename perf "ring_buffer" structure to "perf_buffer" - Rename ftrace "ring_buffer" structure to "trace_buffer" Had to rename existing "trace_buffer" to "array_buffer" - Allow trace_printk() to work withing (some) tracing code. - Sort of tracing configs to be a little better organized - Fixed bug where ftrace_graph hash was not being protected properly - Various other small fixes and clean ups * tag 'trace-v5.6-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace: (88 commits) bootconfig: Show the number of nodes on boot message tools/bootconfig: Show the number of bootconfig nodes bootconfig: Add more parse error messages bootconfig: Use bootconfig instead of boot config ftrace: Protect ftrace_graph_hash with ftrace_sync ftrace: Add comment to why rcu_dereference_sched() is open coded tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_notrace_hash pointer with __rcu tracing: Annotate ftrace_graph_hash pointer with __rcu bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdline tracing: Use seq_buf for building dynevent_cmd string tracing: Remove useless code in dynevent_arg_pair_add() tracing: Remove check_arg() callbacks from dynevent args tracing: Consolidate some synth_event_trace code tracing: Fix now invalid var_ref_vals assumption in trace action tracing: Change trace_boot to use synth_event interface tracing: Move tracing selftests to bottom of menu tracing: Move mmio tracer config up with the other tracers tracing: Move tracing test module configs together tracing: Move all function tracing configs together tracing: Documentation for in-kernel synthetic event API ...

tracing: Use seq_buf for building dynevent_cmd string

2020-02-01T18:10:15Z

The dynevent_cmd commands that build up the command string don't need to do that themselves - there's a seq_buf facility that does pretty much the same thing those command are doing manually, so use it instead.

tracing: Remove check_arg() callbacks from dynevent args

2020-02-01T18:09:23Z

It's kind of strange to have check_arg() callbacks as part of the arg objects themselves; it makes more sense to just pass these in when the args are added instead. Remove the check_arg() callbacks from those objects which also means removing the check_arg() args from the init functions, adding them to the add functions and fixing up existing callers.

tracing: Change trace_boot to use kprobe_event interface

tracing: Add kprobe event command generation functions

2020-01-30T14:46:28Z

Add functions used to generate kprobe event commands, built on top of the dynevent_cmd interface. kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() is used to create a kprobe event command using a variable arg list, and kretprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() does the same for kretprobe event commands. kprobe_event_add_fields() can be used to add single fields one by one or as a group. Once all desired fields are added, kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end() or kretprobe_event_gen_cmd_end() respectively are used to actually execute the command and create the event.

tracing/uprobe: Fix to make trace_uprobe_filter alignment safe

2020-01-22T12:09:20Z

Commit 99c9a923e97a ("tracing/uprobe: Fix double perf_event linking on multiprobe uprobe") moved trace_uprobe_filter on trace_probe_event. However, since it introduced a flexible data structure with char array and type casting, the alignment of trace_uprobe_filter can be broken. This changes the type of the array to trace_uprobe_filter data strucure to fix it.
