Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure

The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function.
The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the
function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to
hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace
when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be
created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function
graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has
slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This
is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such
as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this
method does not scale.

The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started,
every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that
is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to
allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be
one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe
methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new
technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of
hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only
one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex.

- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers

There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
memory when the function exits.

- Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer

When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable
interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs
and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the
disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of
interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This
greatly improves its performance.

- Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the
kernel command line.

The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
events do not have that feature.

Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
(before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracer

Rewrite fprobe implementation on function-graph tracer.
Major API changes are:
- 'nr_maxactive' field is deprecated.
- This depends on CONFIG_DYNA

fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph tracer

Rewrite fprobe implementation on function-graph tracer.
Major API changes are:
- 'nr_maxactive' field is deprecated.
- This depends on CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS or
!CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and
CONFIG_HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS. So currently works only
on x86_64.
- Currently the entry size is limited in 15 * sizeof(long).
- If there is too many fprobe exit handler set on the same
function, it will fail to probe.

Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Restructure the function graph shadow stack to prepare it for use
with kretprobes

With the goal of merging the shadow stack logic of function graph and
kretprobes, some more restructuring of the function shadow stack is
required.

Move out function graph specific fields from the fgraph
infrastructure and store it on the new stack variables that can pass
data from the entry callback to the exit callback.

Hopefully, with this change, the merge of kretprobes to use fgraph
shadow stacks will be ready by the next merge window.

- Make shadow stack 4k instead of using PAGE_SIZE.

Some architectures have very large PAGE_SIZE values which make its
use for shadow stacks waste a lot of memory.

- Give shadow stacks its own kmem cache.

When function graph is started, every task on the system gets a
shadow stack. In the future, shadow stacks may not be 4K in size.
Have it have its own kmem cache so that whatever size it becomes will
still be efficient in allocations.

- Initialize profiler graph ops as it will be needed for new updates to
fgraph

- Convert to use guard(mutex) for several ftrace and fgraph functions

- Add more comments and documentation

- Show function return address in function graph tracer

Add an option to show the caller of a function at each entry of the
function graph tracer, similar to what the function tracer does.

- Abstract out ftrace_regs from being used directly like pt_regs

ftrace_regs was created to store a partial pt_regs. It holds only the
registers and stack information to get to the function arguments and
return values. On several archs, it is simply a wrapper around
pt_regs. But some users would access ftrace_regs directly to get the
pt_regs which will not work on all archs. Make ftrace_regs an
abstract structure that requires all access to its fields be through
accessor functions.

- Show how long it takes to do function code modifications

When code modification for function hooks happen, it always had the
time recorded in how long it took to do the conversion. But this
value was never exported. Recently the code was touched due to new
ROX modification handling that caused a large slow down in doing the
modifications and had a significant impact on boot times.

Expose the timings in the dyn_ftrace_total_info file. This file was
created a while ago to show information about memory usage and such
to implement dynamic function tracing. It's also an appropriate file
to store the timings of this modification as well. This will make it
easier to see the impact of changes to code modification on boot up
timings.

function_graph: Support recording and printing the function return address

When using function_graph tracer to analyze the flow of kernel function
execution, it is often necessary to quickly locate the exact line of code
where the call occurs. While this may be easy at times, it can be more
time-consuming when some functions are inlined or the flow is too long.

This feature aims to simplify the process by recording the return address
of traced funcions and printing it when outputing trace logs.

To enhance human readability, the prefix 'ret=' is used for the kernel return
value, while '<-' serves as the prefix for the return address in trace logs to
make it look more like the function tracer.

A new trace option named 'funcgraph-retaddr' has been introduced, and the
existing option 'sym-addr' can be used to control the format of the return
address.

See below logs with both funcgraph-retval and funcgraph-retaddr enabled.

Then, we can use the faddr2line to locate the source code, for example:

$ ./scripts/faddr2line ./vmlinux load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0
load_elf_phdrs+0x6c/0xb0:
elf_read at fs/binfmt_elf.c:471
(inlined by) load_elf_phdrs at fs/binfmt_elf.c:531
