tracing: Merge irqflags + preempt counter.

The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.

The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).

The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.

Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.

This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.

As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
-> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
-> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()

In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

A build with all tracers enabled on x86-64 with and without the patch:

text data bss dec hex filename

21970293 17084168 7639260 46693721 2c87d59 vmlinux.new

text shrank by 379 bytes, data remained constant.

tracing: Make struct ring_buffer less ambiguous

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion.
The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither
of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be
renamed as:

perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer
ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer

This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

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.

tracing: Use xarray for syscall trace events

Currently, a lot of memory is wasted for architectures like MIPS when
init_ftrace_syscalls() allocates the array for syscalls using kcalloc.
This is because syscalls numbers start from 4000, 5000 or 6000 and
array elements up to that point are unused.
Fix this by using a data structure more suited to storing sparsely
populated arrays. The XARRAY data structure, implemented using radix
trees, is much more memory efficient for storing the syscalls in
question.

syscalls: Remove start and number from syscall_get_arguments() args

At Linux Plumbers, Andy Lutomirski approached me and pointed out that the
function call syscall_get_arguments() implemented in x86 was horribly
written and not optimized for the standard case of passing in 0 and 6 for
the starting index and the number of system calls to get. When looking at
all the users of this function, I discovered that all instances pass in only
0 and 6 for these arguments. Instead of having this function handle
different cases that are never used, simply rewrite it to return the first 6
arguments of a system call.

This should help out the performance of tracing system calls by ptrace,
ftrace and perf.

tracing/syscalls: Pass in hardcoded 6 into syscall_get_arguments()

The only users that calls syscall_get_arguments() with a variable and not a
hard coded '6' is ftrace_syscall_enter(). syscall_get_arguments() can be
optimized by removing a variable input, and always grabbing 6 arguments
regardless of what the system call actually uses.

Change ftrace_syscall_enter() to pass the 6 args into a local stack array
and copy the necessary arguments into the trace event as needed.

This is needed to remove two parameters from syscall_get_arguments().

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

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.

bpf: permit multiple bpf attachments for a single perf event

This patch enables multiple bpf attachments for a
kprobe/uprobe/tracepoint single trace event.
Each trace_event keeps a list of attached perf events.
When an event happens, all attached bpf programs will
be executed based on the order of attachment.

A global bpf_event_mutex lock is introduced to protect
prog_array attaching and detaching. An alternative will
be introduce a mutex lock in every trace_event_call
structure, but it takes a lot of extra memory.
So a global bpf_event_mutex lock is a good compromise.

The bpf prog detachment involves allocation of memory.
If the allocation fails, a dummy do-nothing program
will replace to-be-detached program in-place.

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.

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.

bpf: add support for sys_enter_* and sys_exit_* tracepoints

Currently, bpf programs cannot be attached to sys_enter_* and sys_exit_*
style tracepoints. The iovisor/bcc issue #748
(https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/issues/748) documents this issue.
For example, if you try to attach a bpf program to tracepoints
syscalls/sys_enter_newfstat, you will get the following error:
# ./tools/trace.py t:syscalls:sys_enter_newfstat
Ioctl(PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF): Invalid argument
Failed to attach BPF to tracepoint

The main reason is that syscalls/sys_enter_* and syscalls/sys_exit_*
tracepoints are treated differently from other tracepoints and there
is no bpf hook to it.

This patch adds bpf support for these syscalls tracepoints by
. permitting bpf attachment in ioctl PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF
. calling bpf programs in perf_syscall_enter and perf_syscall_exit

The legality of bpf program ctx access is also checked.
Function trace_event_get_offsets returns correct max offset for each
specific syscall tracepoint, which is compared against the maximum offset
access in bpf program.

tracing/syscalls: Rename "/format" tracepoint field name "nr" to "__syscall_nr:

Some tracepoint have multiple fields with the same name, "nr", the first
one is a unique syscall ID, the other is a syscall argument:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_io_getevents/format
name: sys_enter_io_getevents
ID: 747
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:int nr; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
field:aio_context_t ctx_id; offset:16; size:8; signed:0;
field:long min_nr; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
field:long nr; offset:32; size:8; signed:0;
field:struct io_event * events; offset:40; size:8; signed:0;
field:struct timespec * timeout; offset:48; size:8; signed:0;

print fmt: "ctx_id: 0x%08lx, min_nr: 0x%08lx, nr: 0x%08lx, events: 0x%08lx, timeout: 0x%08lx", ((unsigned long)(REC->ctx_id)), ((unsigned long)(REC->min_nr)), ((unsigned long)(REC->nr)), ((unsigned long)(REC->events)), ((unsigned long)(REC->timeout))
#

Fix it by renaming the "/format" common tracepoint field "nr" to "__syscall_nr".
