ASoC: Fixes for v6.19

We've been quite busy with fixes since the merge window, though not in
any particularly exciting ways - the standout thing is the fix for _SX
controls which were broken by a change to how we do clamping, otherwise
it's all fairly run of the mill fixes and quirks.

Merge tag 'trace-v6.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Extend tracing option mask to 64 bits

The trace options were defined by a 32 bit variable. This limits the
tracing instances to have a total of 32 different options. As that
limit has been hit, and more options are being added, increase the
option mask to a 64 bit number, doubling the number of options
available.

As this is required for the kprobe topic branches as well as the
tracing topic branch, a separate branch was created and merged into
both.

- Make trace_user_fault_read() available for the rest of tracing

The function trace_user_fault_read() is used by trace_marker file
read to allow reading user space to be done fast and without locking
or allocations. Make this available so that the system call trace
events can use it too.

- Have system call trace events read user space values

Now that the system call trace events callbacks are called in a
faultable context, take advantage of this and read the user space
buffers for various system calls. For example, show the path name of
the openat system call instead of just showing the pointer to that
path name in user space. Also show the contents of the buffer of the
write system call. Several system call trace events are updated to
make tracing into a light weight strace tool for all applications in
the system.

- Update perf system call tracing to do the same

- And a config and syscall_user_buf_size file to control the size of
the buffer

Limit the amount of data that can be read from user space. The
default size is 63 bytes but that can be expanded to 165 bytes.

- Allow the persistent ring buffer to print system calls normally

The persistent ring buffer prints trace events by their type and
ignores the print_fmt. This is because the print_fmt may change from
kernel to kernel. As the system call output is fixed by the system
call ABI itself, there's no reason to limit that. This makes reading
the system call events in the persistent ring buffer much nicer and
easier to understand.

- Add options to show text offset to function profiler

The function profiler that counts the number of times a function is
hit currently lists all functions by its name and offset. But this
becomes ambiguous when there are several functions with the same
name.

Add a tracing option that changes the output to be that of
'_text+offset' instead. Now a user space tool can use this
information to map the '_text+offset' to the unique function it is
counting.

- Report bad dynamic event command

If a bad command is passed to the dynamic_events file, report it
properly in the error log.

- Clean up tracer options

Clean up the tracer option code a bit, by removing some useless code
and also using switch statements instead of a series of if
statements.

- Have tracing options be instance specific

Tracers can have their own options (function tracer, irqsoff tracer,
function graph tracer, etc). But now that the same tracer can be
enabled in multiple trace instances, their options are still global.
The API is per instance, thus changing one affects other instances.
This isn't even consistent, as the option take affect differently
depending on when an tracer started in an instance. Make the options
for instances only affect the instance it is changed under.

- Optimize pid_list lock contention

Whenever the pid_list is read, it uses a spin lock. This happens at
every sched switch. Taking the lock at sched switch can be removed by
instead using a seqlock counter.

- Clean up the trace trigger structures

The trigger code uses two different structures to implement a single
tigger. This was due to trying to reuse code for the two different
types of triggers (always on trigger, and count limited trigger). But
by adding a single field to one structure, the other structure could
be absorbed into the first structure making he code easier to
understand.

- Create a bulk garbage collector for trace triggers

If user space has triggers for several hundreds of events and then
removes them, it can take several seconds to complete. This is
because each removal calls tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() that
can take hundreds of milliseconds to complete.

Instead, create a helper thread that will do the clean up. When a
trigger is removed, it will create the kthread if it isn't already
created, and then add the trigger to a llist. The kthread will take
the items off the llist, call tracepoint_synchronize_unregister(),
and then remove the items it took off. It will then check if there's
more items to free before sleeping.

This makes user space removing all these triggers to finish in less
than a second.

- Allow function tracing of some of the tracing infrastructure code

Because the tracing code can cause recursion issues if it is traced
by the function tracer the entire tracing directory disables function
tracing. But not all of tracing causes issues if it is traced.
Namely, the event tracing code. Add a config that enables some of the
tracing code to be traced to help in debugging it. Note, when this is
enabled, it does add noise to general function tracing, especially if
events are enabled as well (which is a common case).

- Add boot-time backup instance for persistent buffer

The persistent ring buffer is used mostly for kernel crash analysis
in the field. One issue is that if there's a crash, the data in the
persistent ring buffer must be read before tracing can begin using
it. This slows down the boot process. Once tracing starts in the
persistent ring buffer, the old data must be freed and the addresses
no longer match and old events can't be in the buffer with new
events.

Create a way to create a backup buffer that copies the persistent
ring buffer at boot up. Then after a crash, the always on tracer can
begin immediately as well as the normal boot process while the crash
analysis tooling uses the backup buffer. After the backup buffer is
finished being read, it can be removed.

- Enable function graph args and return address options at the same
time

Currently the when reading of arguments in the function graph tracer
is enabled, the option to record the parent function in the entry
event can not be enabled. Update the code so that it can.

- Add new struct_offset() helper macro

Add a new macro that takes a pointer to a structure and a name of one
of its members and it will return the offset of that member. This
allows the ring buffer code to simplify the following:

From: size = struct_size(entry, buf, cnt - sizeof(entry->id));
To: size = struct_offset(entry, id) + cnt;

There should be other simplifications that this macro can help out
with as well

ftrace: Allow tracing of some of the tracing code

There is times when tracing the tracing infrastructure can be useful for
debugging the tracing code. Currently all files in the tracing directory
are set to "notrace" the functions.

Add a new config option FUNCTION_SELF_TRACING that will allow some of the
files in the tracing infrastructure to be traced. It requires a config to
enable because it will add noise to the function tracer if events and
other tracing features are enabled. Tracing functions and events together
is quite common, so not tracing the event code should be the default.

Merge tag 'trace-v6.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing

When tracefs was first introduced back in 2014, the directory
/sys/kernel/tracing was added and is the designated location to mount
tracefs. To keep backward compatibility, tracefs was auto-mounted in
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing as well.

All distros now mount tracefs on /sys/kernel/tracing. Having it seen
in two different locations has lead to various issues and
inconsistencies.

The VFS folks have to also maintain debugfs_create_automount() for
this single user.

It's been over 10 years. Tooling and scripts should start replacing
the debugfs location with the tracefs one. The reason tracefs was
created in the first place was to allow access to the tracing
facilities without the need to configure debugfs into the kernel.
Using tracefs should now be more robust.

A new config is created: CONFIG_TRACEFS_AUTOMOUNT_DEPRECATED which is
default y, so that the kernel is still built with the automount. This
config allows those that want to remove the automount from debugfs to
do so.

When tracefs is accessed from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing, the
following printk is triggerd:

pr_warn("NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030\n");

This gives users another 5 years to fix their scripts.

- Use queue_rcu_work() instead of call_rcu() for freeing event filters

The number of filters to be free can be many depending on the number
of events within an event system. Freeing them from softirq context
can potentially cause undesired latency. Use the RCU workqueue to
free them instead.

- Remove pointless memory barriers in latency code

Memory barriers were added to some of the latency code a long time
ago with the idea of "making them visible", but that's not what
memory barriers are for. They are to synchronize access between
different variables. There was no synchronization here making them
pointless.

- Remove "__attribute__()" from the type field of event format

When LLVM is used to compile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y
and PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, some of the format fields get expanded with
the following:

field:const char * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;

Turns into:

field:const char __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;

This confuses parsers. Add code to strip these tags from the strings.

- Add eprobe config option CONFIG_EPROBE_EVENTS

Eprobes were added back in 5.15 but were only enabled when another
probe was enabled (kprobe, fprobe, uprobe, etc). The eprobes had no
config option of their own. Add one as they should be a separate
entity.

It's default y to keep with the old kernels but still has
dependencies on TRACING and HAVE_REGS_AND_STACK_ACCESS_API.

- Add eprobe documentation

When eprobes were added back in 5.15 no documentation was added to
describe them. This needs to be rectified.

- Replace open coded cpumask_next_wrap() in move_to_next_cpu()

- Have preemptirq_delay_run() use off-stack CPU mask

- Remove obsolete comment about pelt_cfs event

DECLARE_TRACE() appends "_tp" to trace events now, but the comment
above pelt_cfs still mentioned appending it manually.

- Remove EVENT_FILE_FL_SOFT_MODE flag

The SOFT_MODE flag was required when the soft enabling and disabling
of trace events was first introduced. But there was a bug with this
approach as it only worked for a single instance. When multiple users
required soft disabling and disabling the code was changed to have a
ref count. The SOFT_MODE flag is now set iff the ref count is non
zero. This is redundant and just reading the ref count is good
enough.
