tracing: Add unified dynamic event framework

Add unified dynamic event framework for ftrace kprobes, uprobes
and synthetic events. Those dynamic events can be co-exist on
same file because those syntax doesn't overlap.

This introduces a framework part which provides a unified tracefs
interface and operations.

as nops which allows to avoid patching mcount jump with NOP instructions

-mcount-nop gcc option will be activated if platform selects

In addition to that CC_USING_NOP_MCOUNT is defined and could be used by
architectures to adapt ftrace patching behavior.

tracing: Centralize preemptirq tracepoints and unify their usage

This patch detaches the preemptirq tracepoints from the tracers and
keeps it separate.

Advantages:
* Lockdep and irqsoff event can now run in parallel since they no longer
have their own calls.

* This unifies the usecase of adding hooks to an irqsoff and irqson
event, and a preemptoff and preempton event.
3 users of the events exist:
- Lockdep
- irqsoff and preemptoff tracers
- irqs and preempt trace events

The unification cleans up several ifdefs and makes the code in preempt
tracer and irqsoff tracers simpler. It gets rid of all the horrific
ifdeferry around PROVE_LOCKING and makes configuration of the different
users of the tracepoints more easy and understandable. It also gets rid
of the time_* function calls from the lockdep hooks used to call into
the preemptirq tracer which is not needed anymore. The negative delta in
lines of code in this patch is quite large too.

In the patch we introduce a new CONFIG option PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS
as a single point for registering probes onto the tracepoints. With
this,
the web of config options for preempt/irq toggle tracepoints and its
users becomes:

PREEMPT_TRACER PREEMPTIRQ_EVENTS IRQSOFF_TRACER PROVE_LOCKING
| | \ | |
\ (selects) / \ \ (selects) /
TRACE_PREEMPT_TOGGLE ----> TRACE_IRQFLAGS
\ /
\ (depends on) /
PREEMPTIRQ_TRACEPOINTS

Other than the performance tests mentioned in the previous patch, I also
ran the locking API test suite. I verified that all tests cases are
passing.

I also injected issues by not registering lockdep probes onto the
tracepoints and I see failures to confirm that the probes are indeed
working.

This series + lockdep probes not registered (just to inject errors):
[ 0.000000] hard-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok |
[ 0.000000] soft-irqs-on + irq-safe-A/21: ok | ok | ok |

With this series + lockdep probes registered, all locking tests pass:

Prohibit kprobe-events probing on notrace functions. Since probing on a
notrace function can cause a recursive event call. In most cases those are just
skipped, but in some cases it falls into an infinite recursive call.

This protection can be disabled by the kconfig
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS_ON_NOTRACE=y, but it is highly recommended to keep it
"n" for normal kernel builds. Note that this is only available if "kprobes on
ftrace" has been implemented on the target arch and CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE=y.

lib: Add module for testing preemptoff/irqsoff latency tracers

Here we introduce a test module for introducing a long preempt or irq
disable delay in the kernel which the preemptoff or irqsoff tracers can
detect. This module is to be used only for test purposes and is default
disabled.

Following is the expected output (only briefly shown) that can be parsed
to verify that the tracers are working correctly. We will use this from
the kselftests in future patches.

For the preemptoff tracer:

echo preemptoff > /d/tracing/current_tracer
sleep 1
insmod ./preemptirq_delay_test.ko test_mode=preempt delay=500000
sleep 1
bash-4.3# cat /d/tracing/trace

preempt -1066 2...2 500004us : tracer_preempt_on <-preemptirq_delay_run
preempt -1066 2...2 500012us : <stack trace>
=> kthread
=> ret_from_fork

For the irqsoff tracer:

echo irqsoff > /d/tracing/current_tracer
sleep 1
insmod ./preemptirq_delay_test.ko test_mode=irq delay=500000
sleep 1
bash-4.3# cat /d/tracing/trace

error-injection: Separate error-injection from kprobe

Since error-injection framework is not limited to be used
by kprobes, nor bpf. Other kernel subsystems can use it
freely for checking safeness of error-injection, e.g.
livepatch, ftrace etc.
So this separate error-injection framework from kprobes.

Some differences has been made:

- "kprobe" word is removed from any APIs/structures.
- BPF_ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() is renamed to
ALLOW_ERROR_INJECTION() since it is not limited for BPF too.
- CONFIG_FUNCTION_ERROR_INJECTION is the config item of this
feature. It is automatically enabled if the arch supports
error injection feature for kprobe or ftrace etc.

Check whether error injectable event is on function entry or not.
Currently it checks the event is ftrace-based kprobes or not,
but that is wrong. It should check if the event is on the entry
of target function. Since error injection will override a function
to just return with modified return value, that operation must
be done before the target function starts making stackframe.

As a side effect, bpf error injection is no need to depend on
function-tracer. It can work with sw-breakpoint based kprobe
events too.

Preempt and irq trace events can be used for tracing the start and

systrace to graphically view the start and end of an atomic section and
correlate them with latencies and scheduling issues.

This also serves as a prelude to using synthetic events or probes to

ftrace: Add use of synchronize_rcu_tasks() with dynamic trampolines

The function tracer needs to be more careful than other subsystems when it
comes to freeing data. Especially if that data is actually executable code.
When a single function is traced, a trampoline can be dynamically allocated
which is called to jump to the function trace callback. When the callback is
no longer needed, the dynamic allocated trampoline needs to be freed. This
is where the issues arise. The dynamically allocated trampoline must not be
used again. As function tracing can trace all subsystems, including
subsystems that are used to serialize aspects of freeing (namely RCU), it
must take extra care when doing the freeing.

Before synchronize_rcu_tasks() was around, there was no way for the function
tracer to know that nothing was using the dynamically allocated trampoline
when CONFIG_PREEMPT was enabled. That's because a task could be indefinitely
preempted while sitting on the trampoline. Now with synchronize_rcu_tasks(),
it will wait till all tasks have either voluntarily scheduled (not on the
trampoline) or goes into userspace (not on the trampoline). Then it is safe
to free the trampoline even with CONFIG_PREEMPT set.

ftrace: Support full glob matching

Use glob_match() to support flexible glob wildcards (*,?)
and character classes ([) for ftrace.
Since the full glob matching is slower than the current
partial matching routines(*pat, pat*, *pat*), this leaves
those routines and just add MATCH_GLOB for complex glob
expression.
