Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Remove unneeded goto out statements

Over time, the logic was restructured but left a "goto out" where the
out label simply did a "return ret;". Instead of jumping to this out
label, simply return immediately and remove the out label.

- Add guard(ring_buffer_nest)

Some calls to the tracing ring buffer can happen when the ring buffer
is already being written to at the same context (for example, a
trace_printk() in between a ring_buffer_lock_reserve() and a
ring_buffer_unlock_commit()).

In order to not trigger the recursion detection, these functions use
ring_buffer_nest_start() and ring_buffer_nest_end(). Create a guard()
for these functions so that their use cases can be simplified and not
need to use goto for the release.

- Clean up the tracing code with guard() and __free() logic

There were several locations that were prime candidates for using
guard() and __free() helpers. Switch them over to use them.

- Fix output of function argument traces for unsigned int values

The function tracer with "func-args" option set will record up to 6
argument registers and then use BTF to format them for human
consumption when the trace file is read. There are several arguments
that are "unsigned long" and even "unsigned int" that are either and
address or a mask. It is easier to understand if they were printed
using hexadecimal instead of decimal. The old method just printed all
non-pointer values as signed integers, which made it even worse for
unsigned integers.

For instance, instead of:

__local_bh_disable_ip(ip=-2127311112, cnt=256) <-handle_softirqs

show:

__local_bh_disable_ip(ip=0xffffffff8133cef8, cnt=0x100) <-handle_softirqs"

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

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.

- Fix typo in comment

MAX_PARAM_PREFIX_LEN was added in commit 730b69d22525 ("module: check

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

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Rewind persistent ring buffer on boot

When the persistent ring buffer is being used for live kernel tracing
and the system crashes, the tool that is reading the trace may not
have recorded the data when the system crashed.

Although the persistent ring buffer still has that data, when reading
it after a reboot, it will start where it left off. That is, what was
read will not be accessible.

Instead, on reboot, have the persistent ring buffer restart where the
data starts and this will allow the tooling to recover what was lost
when the crash occurred.

- Remove the ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync() logic

Reading the trace file required stopping writing to the ring buffer
as the trace file is only an iterator and does not consume what it
read. It was originally not safe to read the ring buffer in this mode
and required disabling writing. The ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync()
logic was used to stop each per_cpu ring buffer, call
synchronize_rcu() and then start the iterator. This was used instead
of calling synchronize_rcu() for each per_cpu buffer.

Today, the iterator has been updated where it is safe to read the
trace file while writing to the ring buffer is still occurring. There
is no more need to do this synchronization and it is causing large
delays on machines with many CPUs. Remove this unneeded
synchronization.

- Make static string array a constant in show_irq_str()

Making the string array into a constant has shown to decrease code
text/data size.

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

With CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y and PAHOLE_HAS_BTF_TAG=y, `__user` is
converted to `__attribute__((btf_type_tag("user")))`. In this case,
some syscall events have it for __user data, like below;

/sys/kernel/tracing # cat events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/format
name: sys_enter_openat
ID: 720
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 __syscall_nr; offset:8; size:4; signed:1;
field:int dfd; offset:16; size:8; signed:0;
field:const char __attribute__((btf_type_tag("user"))) * filename; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
field:int flags; offset:32; size:8; signed:0;
field:umode_t mode; offset:40; size:8; signed:0;

Then the trace event filter fails to set the string acceptable flag
(FILTER_PTR_STRING) to the field and rejects setting string filter;

# echo 'filename.ustring ~ "*ftracetest-dir.wbx24v*"' \
>> events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat/filter
sh: write error: Invalid argument
# cat error_log
[ 723.743637] event filter parse error: error: Expecting numeric field
Command: filename.ustring ~ "*ftracetest-dir.wbx24v*"

Since this __attribute__ makes format parsing complicated and not
needed, remove the __attribute__(.*) from the type string.

tracing: Deprecate auto-mounting tracefs in debugfs

In January 2015, tracefs was created to allow access to the tracing
infrastructure without needing to compile in debugfs. When tracefs is
configured, the directory /sys/kernel/tracing will exist and tooling is
expected to use that path to access the tracing infrastructure.

To allow backward compatibility, when debugfs is mounted, it would
automount tracefs in its "tracing" directory so that tooling that had hard
coded /sys/kernel/debug/tracing would still work.

It has been over 10 years since the new interface was introduced, and all
tooling should now be using it. Start the process of deprecating the old
path so that it doesn't need to be maintained anymore.

A new config is added to allow distributions to disable automounting of
tracefs on debugfs.

If /sys/kernel/debug/tracing is accessed, a pr_warn() will trigger stating:

"NOTICE: Automounting of tracing to debugfs is deprecated and will be removed in 2030"

Expect to remove this feature in 5 years (2030).

ring-buffer: Remove ring_buffer_read_prepare_sync()

When the ring buffer was first introduced, reading the non-consuming
"trace" file required disabling the writing of the ring buffer. To make
sure the writing was fully disabled before iterating the buffer with a
non-consuming read, it would set the disable flag of the buffer and then
call an RCU synchronization to make sure all the buffers were
synchronized.

The function ring_buffer_read_start() originally would initialize the
iterator and call an RCU synchronization, but this was for each individual
per CPU buffer where this would get called many times on a machine with
many CPUs before the trace file could be read. The commit 72c9ddfd4c5bf
("ring-buffer: Make non-consuming read less expensive with lots of cpus.")
separated ring_buffer_read_start into ring_buffer_read_prepare(),
ring_buffer_read_sync() and then ring_buffer_read_start() to allow each of
the per CPU buffers to be prepared, call the read_buffer_read_sync() once,
and then the ring_buffer_read_start() for each of the CPUs which made
things much faster.

The commit 1039221cc278 ("ring-buffer: Do not disable recording when there
is an iterator") removed the requirement of disabling the recording of the
ring buffer in order to iterate it, but it did not remove the
synchronization that was happening that was required to wait for all the
buffers to have no more writers. It's now OK for the buffers to have
writers and no synchronization is needed.

Remove the synchronization and put back the interface for the ring buffer
iterator back before commit 72c9ddfd4c5bf was applied.

Merge tag 'nand/for-6.16' into mtd/next

The SPI NAND subsystem has seen the introduction of DTR operations (the
equivalent of DDR transfers), which involved quite a few preparation
patches for clarifying macro names.

In the raw NAND subsystem, the brcmnand driver has been "fixed" for old
legacy SoCs with an update of the ->exec_op() hook, there has been the
introduction of a new controller driver named Loongson-1, and the
Qualcomm driver has received quite a few misc fixes as well as a new
compatible.

Aside from this, there is the usual load of misc improvement and fixes.

Merge tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull ring-buffer updates from Steven Rostedt:

- Allow the persistent ring buffer to be memory mapped

In the last merge window there was issues with the implementation of
mapping the persistent ring buffer because it was assumed that the
persistent memory was just physical memory without being part of the
kernel virtual address space. But this was incorrect and the
persistent ring buffer can be mapped the same way as the allocated
ring buffer is mapped.

The metadata for the persistent ring buffer is different than the
normal ring buffer and the organization of mapping it to user space
is a little different. Make the updates needed to the meta data to
allow the persistent ring buffer to be mapped to user space.

- Fix cpus_read_lock() with buffer->mutex and cpu_buffer->mapping_lock

Mapping the ring buffer to user space uses the
cpu_buffer->mapping_lock. The buffer->mutex can be taken when the
mapping_lock is held, giving the locking order of:
cpu_buffer->mapping_lock -->> buffer->mutex. But there also exists
the ordering:

buffer->mutex -->> cpus_read_lock()
mm->mmap_lock -->> cpu_buffer->mapping_lock
cpus_read_lock() -->> mm->mmap_lock

causing a circular chain of:

cpu_buffer->mapping_lock -> buffer->mutex -->> cpus_read_lock() -->>
mm->mmap_lock -->> cpu_buffer->mapping_lock

By moving the cpus_read_lock() outside the buffer->mutex where:
cpus_read_lock() -->> buffer->mutex, breaks the deadlock chain.

- Do not trigger WARN_ON() for commit overrun

When the ring buffer is user space mapped and there's a "commit
overrun" (where an interrupt preempted an event, and then added so
many events it filled the buffer having to drop events when it hit
the preempted event) a WARN_ON() was triggered if this was read via a
memory mapped buffer.

This is due to "missed events" being non zero when the reader page
ended up with the commit page. The idea was, if the writer is on the
reader page, there's only one page that has been written to and there
should be no missed events.

But if a commit overrun is done where the writer is off the commit
page and looped around to the commit page causing missed events, it
is possible that the reader page is the commit page with missed
events.

Instead of triggering a WARN_ON() when the reader page is the commit
page with missed events, trigger it when the reader page is the
tail_page with missed events. That's because the writer is always on
the tail_page if an event was interrupted (which holds the commit
event) and continues off the commit page.

- Reset the persistent buffer if it is fully consumed

On boot up, if the user fully consumes the last boot buffer of the
persistent buffer, if it reboots without enabling it, there will
still be events in the buffer which can cause confusion. Instead,
reset the buffer when it is fully consumed, so that the data is not
read again.

- Clean up some goto out jumps

There's a few cases that the code jumps to the "out:" label that
simply returns a value. There used to be more work done at those
labels but now that they simply return a value use a return instead
of jumping to a label.

- Use guard() to simplify some of the code

Add guard() around some locking instead of jumping to a label to do
the unlocking.

- Use free() to simplify some of the code

Use free(kfree) on variables that will get freed on error and use
return_ptr() to return the variable when its not freed. There's one
instance where free(kfree) simplifies the code on a temp variable
that was allocated just for the function use.
