Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Fix buffer overflow in trace event filter.

  It was reported that if an trace event was larger than a page and was
  filtered, that it caused memory corruption. The reason is that
  filtered events first go into a buffer to test the filter before being
  written into the ring buffer. Unfortunately, this write did not check
  the size"

<id>urn:sha1:b220c049d5196dd94d992dd2dc8cba1a5e6123bf</id>
<content type='text'>
When filters are used by trace events, a page is allocated on each CPU and
used to copy the trace event fields to this page before writing to the ring
buffer. The reason to use the filter and not write directly into the ring
buffer is because a filter may discard the event and there's more overhead
on discarding from the ring buffer than the extra copy.

The problem here is that there is no check against the size being allocated
when using this page. If an event asks for more than a page size while being
filtered, it will get only a page, leading to the caller writing more that
what was allocated.

Check the length of the request, and if it is more than PAGE_SIZE minus the
header default back to allocating from the ring buffer directly. The ring
buffer may reject the event if its too big anyway, but it wont overflow.

<content type='text'>
The file /sys/kernel/tracing/events/enable is used to enable all events by
echoing in "1", or disabling all events when echoing in "0". To know if all
events are enabled, disabled, or some are enabled but not all of them,
cating the file should show either "1" (all enabled), "0" (all disabled), or
"X" (some enabled but not all of them). This works the same as the "enable"
files in the individule system directories (like tracing/events/sched/enable).

But when all events are enabled, the top level "enable" file shows "X". The
reason is that its checking the "ftrace" events, which are special events
that only exist for their format files. These include the format for the
function tracer events, that are enabled when the function tracer is
enabled, but not by the "enable" file. The check includes these events,
which will always be disabled, and even though all true events are enabled,
the top level "enable" file will show "X" instead of "1".

To fix this, have the check test the event's flags to see if it has the
"IGNORE_ENABLE" flag set, and if so, not test it.

<title>tracing/kprobe: Fix to support kretprobe events on unloaded modules</title>

Fix kprobe_on_func_entry() returns error code instead of false so that
register_kretprobe() can return an appropriate error code.

append_trace_kprobe() expects the kprobe registration returns -ENOENT
when the target symbol is not found, and it checks whether the target
module is unloaded or not. If the target module doesn't exist, it
defers to probe the target symbol until the module is loaded.

However, since register_kretprobe() returns -EINVAL instead of -ENOENT
in that case, it always fail on putting the kretprobe event on unloaded
modules. e.g.

Kprobe event:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo p xfs:xfs_end_io &gt;&gt; kprobe_events
[   16.515574] trace_kprobe: This probe might be able to register after target module is loaded. Continue.

Kretprobe event: (p -&gt; r)
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo r xfs:xfs_end_io &gt;&gt; kprobe_events
sh: write error: Invalid argument
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat error_log
[   41.122514] trace_kprobe: error: Failed to register probe event
  Command: r xfs:xfs_end_io
             ^

To fix this bug, change kprobe_on_func_entry() to detect symbol lookup
failure and return -ENOENT in that case. Otherwise it returns -EINVAL
or 0 (succeeded, given address is on the entry).

Eaerlier, tracing was disabled when reading the trace file. This behavior
was changed with:

commit 06e0a548bad0 ("tracing: Do not disable tracing when reading the
trace file").

This doesn't seem to work with the latency tracers.

The above mentioned commit dit not only change the behavior but also added
an option to emulate the old behavior. The idea with this patch is to
enable this pause-on-trace option when the latency tracers are used.

<title>fgraph: Initialize tracing_graph_pause at task creation</title>

On some archs, the idle task can call into cpu_suspend(). The cpu_suspend()
will disable or pause function graph tracing, as there's some paths in
bringing down the CPU that can have issues with its return address being
modified. The task_struct structure has a "tracing_graph_pause" atomic
counter, that when set to something other than zero, the function graph
tracer will not modify the return address.

The problem is that the tracing_graph_pause counter is initialized when the
function graph tracer is enabled. This can corrupt the counter for the idle
task if it is suspended in these architectures.

   CPU 1				CPU 2
   -----				-----
  do_idle()
    cpu_suspend()
      pause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause++ (0 -&gt; 1)

				start_graph_tracing()
				  for_each_online_cpu(cpu) {
				    ftrace_graph_init_idle_task(cpu)
				      task-struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause = 0 (1 -&gt; 0)

      unpause_graph_tracing()
          task_struct-&gt;tracing_graph_pause-- (0 -&gt; -1)

The above should have gone from 1 to zero, and enabled function graph
tracing again. But instead, it is set to -1, which keeps it disabled.

There's no reason that the field tracing_graph_pause on the task_struct can
not be initialized at boot up.

Enable the notrace function check on the architecture which doesn't
support kprobes on ftrace but support dynamic ftrace. This notrace
function check is not only for the kprobes on ftrace but also
sw-breakpoint based kprobes.
Thus there is no reason to limit this check for the arch which
supports kprobes on ftrace.

This also changes the dependency of Kconfig. Because kprobe event
uses the function tracer's address list for identifying notrace
function, if the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n, it can not check whether
the target function is notrace or not.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config
  option called CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS.

  Currently, only x86_64 enables it. All the ftrace callbacks now take a
  struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct pt_regs. If the architecture
  has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then the ftrace_regs will
  have enough information to read the arguments of the function being
  traced, as well as access to the stack pointer.

  This way, if a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the
  arguments, then it can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback,
  that puts in enough information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate
  a breakpoint exception (needed for kprobes).

  A new config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring
  buffer at most every event recorded.

  Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection
  to the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
  callbacks).

  Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace
  to do it for it (saving on that extra function call).

  New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that
  lists all the places that triggered the recursion protection of the
  function tracer. This will show where things need to be fixed as
  recursion slows down the function tracer.

  The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a
  work queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.

  Various clean ups and last minute fixes"
