tracing: Add back FORTIFY_SOURCE logic to kernel_stack event structure

For backward compatibility, older tooling expects to see the kernel_stack
event with a "caller" field that is a fixed size array of 8 addresses. The
code now supports more than 8 with an added "size" field that states the
real number of entries. But the "caller" field still just looks like a
fixed size to user space.

Since the tracing macros that create the user space format files also
creates the structures that those files represent, the kernel_stack event
structure had its "caller" field a fixed size of 8, but in reality, when
it is allocated on the ring buffer, it can hold more if the stack trace is
bigger that 8 functions. The copying of these entries was simply done with
a memcpy():

size = nr_entries * sizeof(unsigned long);
memcpy(entry->caller, fstack->calls, size);

The FORTIFY_SOURCE logic noticed at runtime that when the nr_entries was
larger than 8, that the memcpy() was writing more than what the structure
stated it can hold and it complained about it. This is because the
FORTIFY_SOURCE code is unaware that the amount allocated is actually
enough to hold the size. It does not expect that a fixed size field will
hold more than the fixed size.

This was originally solved by hiding the caller assignment with some
pointer arithmetic.

ptr = ring_buffer_data();
entry = ptr;

ptr += offsetof(typeof(*entry), caller);
memcpy(ptr, fstack->calls, size);

But it is considered bad form to hide from kernel hardening. Instead, make
it work nicely with FORTIFY_SOURCE by adding a new __stack_array() macro
that is specific for this one special use case. The macro will take 4
arguments: type, item, len, field (whereas the __array() macro takes just
the first three). This macro will act just like the __array() macro when
creating the code to deal with the format file that is exposed to user
space. But for the kernel, it will turn the caller field into:

type item[] __counted_by(field);

or for this instance:

unsigned long caller[] __counted_by(size);

Now the kernel code can expose the assignment of the caller to the
FORTIFY_SOURCE and everyone is happy!

tracing: Fix TASK_COMM_LEN in trace event format file

After commit 3087c61ed2c4 ("tools/testing/selftests/bpf: replace open-coded 16 with TASK_COMM_LEN"),
the content of the format file under
/sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask was changed from
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;
to
field:char comm[TASK_COMM_LEN]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;

John reported that this change breaks older versions of perfetto.
Then Mathieu pointed out that this behavioral change was caused by the
use of __stringify(_len), which happens to work on macros, but not on enum
labels. And he also gave the suggestion on how to fix it:
:One possible solution to make this more robust would be to extend
:struct trace_event_fields with one more field that indicates the length
:of an array as an actual integer, without storing it in its stringified
:form in the type, and do the formatting in f_show where it belongs.

The result as follows after this change,
$ cat /sys/kernel/tracing/events/task/task_newtask/format
field:char comm[16]; offset:12; size:16; signed:0;

tracing: Make ftrace packed events have align of 1

When using trace-cmd on 5.6-rt for the function graph tracer, the output was
corrupted. It gave output like this:

funcgraph_entry: func=0xffffffff depth=38982
funcgraph_entry: func=0x1ffffffff depth=16044
funcgraph_exit: func=0xffffffff overrun=0x92539aaf00000000 calltime=0x92539c9900000072 rettime=0x100000072 depth=11084

funcgraph_entry: func=0xffffffff depth=85798
funcgraph_entry: func=0x1ffffffff depth=12044

The reason was because the tracefs/events/ftrace/funcgraph_entry/exit format
file was incorrect. The -rt kernel adds more common fields to the trace
events. Namely, common_migrate_disable and common_preempt_lazy_count. Each
is one byte in size. This changes the alignment of the normal payload. Most
events are aligned normally, but the function and function graph events are
defined with a "PACKED" macro, that packs their payload. As the offsets
displayed in the format files are now calculated by an aligned field, the
aligned field for function and function graph events should be 1, not their
normal alignment.

With aligning of the funcgraph_entry event, the format file has:

field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:unsigned char common_migrate_disable; offset:8; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_lazy_count; offset:9; size:1; signed:0;

field:unsigned long func; offset:16; size:8; signed:0;
field:int depth; offset:24; size:4; signed:1;

But the actual alignment is:

field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;

ftrace: Rework event_create_dir()

Rework event_create_dir() to use an array of static data instead of
function pointers where possible.

The problem is that it would call the function pointer on module load
before parse_args(), possibly even before jump_labels were initialized.
Luckily the generated functions don't use jump_labels but it still seems
fragile. It also gets in the way of changing when we make the module map
executable.

The generated function are basically calling trace_define_field() with a
bunch of static arguments. So instead of a function, capture these
arguments in a static array, avoiding the function call.

Now there are a number of cases where the fields are dynamic (syscall
arguments, kprobes and uprobes), in which case a static array does not
work, for these we preserve the function call. Luckily all these cases
are not related to modules and so we can retain the function call for
them.

Also fix up all broken tracepoint definitions that now generate a
compile error.

the same type of triggers (including histograms) that the trace events use.

triggers are enabled:

event_trigger_callback() {

trace_event_enable_disable() {

Without the reg() function, the trigger code will call a NULL pointer and
crash the system.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

tracing: remove ftrace:function TRACE_EVENT_FL_USE_CALL_FILTER flag

TRACE_EVENT_FL_USE_CALL_FILTER flag in ftrace:functon event can be
removed. This flag was first introduced in commit
f306cc82a93d ("tracing: Update event filters for multibuffer").

Now, the only place uses this flag is ftrace:function, but the filter of
ftrace:function has a different code path with events/syscalls and
events/tracepoints. It uses ftrace_filter_write() and perf's
ftrace_profile_set_filter() to set the filter, the functionality of file
'tracing/events/ftrace/function/filter' is bypassed in function
init_pred(), in which case, neither call->filter nor file->filter is
used.

So we can safely remove TRACE_EVENT_FL_USE_CALL_FILTER flag from
ftrace:function events.

Revert "tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function"

I originally wrote commit 35bb4399bd0e to shrink the size of the overhead of
tracepoints by several kilobytes. Later, I received a patch from Vaibhav
Nagarnaik that fixed a bug in the same code that this commit touches. Not
only did it fix a bug, it also removed code and shrunk the size of the
overhead of trace events even more than this commit did.

Since this commit is scheduled for 3.15 and Vaibhav's patch is already in
mainline, I need to revert this patch in order to keep it from conflicting
with Vaibhav's patch. Not to mention, Vaibhav's patch makes this patch
obsolete.

tracing: Fix array size mismatch in format string

In event format strings, the array size is reported in two locations.
One in array subscript and then via the "size:" attribute. The values
reported there have a mismatch.

For e.g., in sched:sched_switch the prev_comm and next_comm character
arrays have subscript values as [32] where as the actual field size is
16.

name: sched_switch
ID: 301
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1;signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;

field:char prev_comm[32]; offset:8; size:16; signed:1;
field:pid_t prev_pid; offset:24; size:4; signed:1;
field:int prev_prio; offset:28; size:4; signed:1;
field:long prev_state; offset:32; size:8; signed:1;
field:char next_comm[32]; offset:40; size:16; signed:1;
field:pid_t next_pid; offset:56; size:4; signed:1;
field:int next_prio; offset:60; size:4; signed:1;

After bisection, the following commit was blamed:
92edca0 tracing: Use direct field, type and system names

This commit removes the duplication of strings for field->name and
field->type assuming that all the strings passed in
__trace_define_field() are immutable. This is not true for arrays, where
the type string is created in event_storage variable and field->type for
all array fields points to event_storage.

Use __stringify() to create a string constant for the type string.

Also, get rid of event_storage and event_storage_mutex that are not
needed anymore.

also, an added benefit is that this reduces the overhead of events a bit more:

tracing: Move event storage for array from macro to standalone function

The code that shows array fields for events is defined for all events.
This can add up quite a bit when you have over 500 events.

By making helper functions in the core kernel to do the work
instead, we can shrink the size of the kernel down a bit.

With a kernel configured with 502 events, the change in size was:

text data bss dec hex filename
12990946 1913568 9785344 24689858 178bcc2 /tmp/vmlinux
12987390 1913504 9785344 24686238 178ae9e /tmp/vmlinux.patched

That's a total of 3556 bytes, which comes down to 7 bytes per event.
Although it's not much, this code is just called at initialization of
the events.

tracing: Update event filters for multibuffer

The trace event filters are still tied to event calls rather than
event files, which means you don't get what you'd expect when using
filters in the multibuffer case:

Before:

# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048

Setting the filter in tracing/instances/test1/events shouldn't affect
the same event in tracing/events as it does above.

After:

# echo 'bytes_alloc > 8192' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# mkdir /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1
# echo 'bytes_alloc > 2048' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 8192
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/instances/test1/events/kmem/kmalloc/filter
bytes_alloc > 2048

We'd like to just move the filter directly from ftrace_event_call to
ftrace_event_file, but there are a couple cases that don't yet have
multibuffer support and therefore have to continue using the current
event_call-based filters. For those cases, a new USE_CALL_FILTER bit
is added to the event_call flags, whose main purpose is to keep the
old behavior for those cases until they can be updated with
multibuffer support; at that point, the USE_CALL_FILTER flag (and the
new associated call_filter_check_discard() function) can go away.

The multibuffer support also made filter_current_check_discard()
redundant, so this change removes that function as well and replaces
it with filter_check_discard() (or call_filter_check_discard() as
appropriate).

tracing: Do not enable function event with enable

With the adding of function tracing event to perf, it caused a
side effect that produces the following warning when enabling all
events in ftrace:

# echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable

[console]
event trace: Could not enable event function

This is because when enabling all events via the debugfs system
it ignores events that do not have a ->reg() function assigned.
This was to skip over the ftrace internal events (as they are
not TRACE_EVENTs). But as the ftrace function event now has
a ->reg() function attached to it for use with perf, it is no
longer ignored.

Worse yet, this ->reg() function is being called when it should
not be. It returns an error and causes the above warning to
be printed.

By adding a new event_call flag (TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE)
and have all ftrace internel event structures have it set,
setting the events/enable will no longe try to incorrectly enable
the function event and does not warn.

Adding FILTER_TRACE_FN event field type for function tracepoint
event, so it can be properly recognized within filtering code.

Currently all fields of ftrace subsystem events share the common
field type FILTER_OTHER. Since the function trace fields need
special care within the filtering code we need to recognize it
properly, hence adding the FILTER_TRACE_FN event type.

Adding filter parameter to the FTRACE_ENTRY macro, to specify the
filter field type for the event.

ftrace, perf: Add support to use function tracepoint in perf

Adding perf registration support for the ftrace function event,
so it is now possible to register it via perf interface.

The perf_event struct statically contains ftrace_ops as a handle
for function tracer. The function tracer is registered/unregistered
in open/close actions.

To be efficient, we enable/disable ftrace_ops each time the traced
process is scheduled in/out (via TRACE_REG_PERF_(ADD|DELL) handlers).
This way tracing is enabled only when the process is running.
Intentionally using this way instead of the event's hw state
PERF_HES_STOPPED, which would not disable the ftrace_ops.

It is now possible to use function trace within perf commands
like:

perf record -e ftrace:function ls
perf stat -e ftrace:function ls

Allowed only for root.
