trace_uprobe: support reference counter in fd-based uprobe

This patch enables uprobes with reference counter in fd-based uprobe.
Highest 32 bits of perf_event_attr.config is used to stored offset
of the reference count (semaphore).

Format information in /sys/bus/event_source/devices/uprobe/format/ is
updated to reflect this new feature.

perf/ftrace: Fix function trace events

The function-trace <-> perf interface is a tad messed up. Where all
the other trace <-> perf interfaces use a single trace hook
registration and use per-cpu RCU based hlist to iterate the events,
function-trace actually needs multiple hook registrations in order to
minimize function entry patching when filters are present.

The end result is that we iterate events both on the trace hook and on
the hlist, which results in reporting events multiple times.

Since function-trace cannot use the regular scheme, fix it the other
way around, use singleton hlists.

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.

perf/ftrace: Fix double traces of perf on ftrace:function

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 &
perf record -e ftrace:function ls
perf script

ls 10304 [005] 171.853235: ftrace:function:

ls 10304 [005] 171.853237: 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.

It's called from perf_sw_event_sched, perf_event_task_sched_in and all of perf_trace_##call
with this_cpu_ptr(&__perf_regs[..]) which are zero initialized by perpcu init logic and
subsequent call to perf_arch_fetch_caller_regs initializes the same fields on all archs,
so we can safely drop memset from all of the above cases and move it into
perf_ftrace_function_call that calls it with stack allocated pt_regs.

ftrace: Remove use of control list and ops

Currently perf has its own list function within the ftrace infrastructure
that seems to be used only to allow for it to have per-cpu disabling as well
as a check to make sure that it's not called while RCU is not watching. It
uses something called the "control_ops" which is used to iterate over ops
under it with the control_list_func().

The problem is that this control_ops and control_list_func unnecessarily
complicates the code. By replacing FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL with two new flags
(FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU and FTRACE_OPS_FL_PER_CPU) we can remove all the code
that is special with the control ops and add the needed checks within the
generic ftrace_list_func().

tracing: Rename ftrace_event_{call,class} to trace_event_{call,class}

The name "ftrace" really refers to the function hook infrastructure. It
is not about the trace_events. The structures ftrace_event_call and
ftrace_event_class have nothing to do with the function hooks, and are
really trace_event structures. Rename ftrace_event_* to trace_event_*.

perf: Avoid horrible stack usage

Both Linus (most recent) and Steve (a while ago) reported that perf
related callbacks have massive stack bloat.

The problem is that software events need a pt_regs in order to
properly report the event location and unwind stack. And because we
could not assume one was present we allocated one on stack and filled
it with minimal bits required for operation.

Now, pt_regs is quite large, so this is undesirable. Furthermore it
turns out that most sites actually have a pt_regs pointer available,
making this even more onerous, as the stack space is pointless waste.

This patch addresses the problem by observing that software events
have well defined nesting semantics, therefore we can use static
per-cpu storage instead of on-stack.

Linus made the further observation that all but the scheduler callers
of perf_sw_event() have a pt_regs available, so we change the regular
perf_sw_event() to require a valid pt_regs (where it used to be
optional) and add perf_sw_event_sched() for the scheduler.

We have a scheduler specific call instead of a more generic _noregs()
like construct because we can assume non-recursion from the scheduler
and thereby simplify the code further (_noregs would have to put the
recursion context call inline in order to assertain which __perf_regs
element to use).

One last note on the implementation of perf_trace_buf_prepare(); we
allow .regs = NULL for those cases where we already have a pt_regs
pointer available and do not need another.

perf: Check permission only for parent tracepoint event

There's no need to check cloned event's permission once the
parent was already checked.

Also the code is checking 'current' process permissions, which
is not owner process for cloned events, thus could end up with
wrong permission check result.

perf/trace: Properly use u64 to hold event_id

The 64-bit attr.config value for perf trace events was being copied into

As far as I can tell this didn't cause any errors, but it did mean
it was possible to create valid aliases for all the tracepoint ids
which I don't think was intended. (For example, 0xffffffff00000018
and 0x18 both enable the same tracepoint).

ftrace, perf: Avoid infinite event generation loop

Vince's perf-trinity fuzzer found yet another 'interesting' problem.

When we sample the irq_work_exit tracepoint with period==1 (or
PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD) and we add an fasync SIGNAL handler we create an
infinite event generation loop:

,-> <IPI>
| irq_work_exit() ->
| trace_irq_work_exit() ->
| ...
| __perf_event_overflow() -> (due to fasync)
| irq_work_queue() -> (irq_work_list must be empty)
'--------- arch_irq_work_raise()

Similar things can happen due to regular poll() wakeups if we exceed
the ring-buffer wakeup watermark, or have an event_limit.

To avoid this, dis-allow sampling this particular tracepoint.

In order to achieve this, create a special perf_perm function pointer
for each event and call this (when set) on trying to create a
tracepoint perf event.

perf/ftrace: Fix paranoid level for enabling function tracer

The current default perf paranoid level is "1" which has
"perf_paranoid_kernel()" return false, and giving any operations that
use it, access to normal users. Unfortunately, this includes function
tracing and normal users should not be allowed to enable function
tracing by default.

The proper level is defined at "-1" (full perf access), which
"perf_paranoid_tracepoint_raw()" will only give access to. Use that
check instead for enabling function tracing.
