<title>tracing: Make exported ftrace_set_clr_event non-static</title>

<content type='text'>
The function ftrace_set_clr_event is declared static and marked
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), which is at best an odd combination. Because the
function was decided to be a part of API, this commit removes the static
attribute and adds the declaration to the header.

<title>ftrace: Check for successful allocation of hash</title>

In register_ftrace_function_probe(), we are not checking the return
value of alloc_and_copy_ftrace_hash(). The subsequent call to
ftrace_match_records() may end up dereferencing the same. Add a check to
ensure this doesn't happen.

The race between adding a function probe and reading the probes that exist
is very subtle. It needs a comment. Also, the issue can also happen if the
probe has has the EMPTY_HASH as its func_hash.

LTP testsuite on powerpc results in the below crash:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000000

The test (ftrace_set_ftrace_filter.sh) is part of ftrace stress tests
and the crash happens when the test does 'cat
$TRACING_PATH/set_ftrace_filter'.

The address points to the second line below, in t_probe_next(), where
filter_hash is dereferenced:
  hash = iter-&gt;probe-&gt;ops.func_hash-&gt;filter_hash;
  size = 1 &lt;&lt; hash-&gt;size_bits;

This happens due to a race with register_ftrace_function_probe(). A new
ftrace_func_probe is created and added into the func_probes list in
trace_array under ftrace_lock. However, before initializing the filter,
we drop ftrace_lock, and re-acquire it after acquiring regex_lock. If
another process is trying to read set_ftrace_filter, it will be able to
acquire ftrace_lock during this window and it will end up seeing a NULL
filter_hash.

Fix this by just checking for a NULL filter_hash in t_probe_next(). If
the filter_hash is NULL, then this probe is just being added and we can
simply return from here.

We already have tested it before. The second one should be removed.
With this change, the performance should have little improvement.

Pull tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
 "Eiichi Tsukata found a small bug from the fixup of the stack code

  Removing ULONG_MAX as the marker for the user stack trace end, made
  the tracing code not know where the end is. The end is now marked with
  a zero (NULL) pointer. Eiichi fixed this in the tracing code"

<content type='text'>
Commit c5c27a0a5838 ("x86/stacktrace: Remove the pointless ULONG_MAX
marker") removes ULONG_MAX marker from user stack trace entries but
trace_user_stack_print() still uses the marker and it outputs unnecessary
"??".

For example:

            less-1911  [001] d..2    34.758944: &lt;user stack trace&gt;
   =&gt;  &lt;00007f16f2295910&gt;
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??
   =&gt; ??

The user stack trace code zeroes the storage before saving the stack, so if
the trace is shorter than the maximum number of entries it can terminate
the print loop if a zero entry is detected.
