Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix error output of boot instance creation failure Currently if a boot instance creation fails, instead of printing out the name of the instance that failed, it prints "(null)". That is because it prints "cur_str" that had already been processed by strsep(). Print the saved name instead. While at it, print the error code of the failure. - Fix use-after-free for same named historgrams Histograms can be named so that they can be used in multiple events. But if the named histogram has a variable attached, the second event that uses the named histogram which duplicates it and needs to free the original after duplication leaves the old variable in place and still visible. If another histogram uses than variable, it will use the stale one which will try to reference the freed duplicate histogram and crash the kernel. Free the duplicate variables along with the duplicated histogram data. - Check return value of kthread_run() in event self test The events self tests uses a kthread for testing but does not check if it succeeded in creating a kthread. If the kthread creation were to fail, the code will still try to call kthread_stop() on the error returned. - Fix race between reading trace_pipe and updating subbuffer size If a user is reading the trace_pipe file at the same time they update the ring buffer sub-buffer size, can cause the trace_pipe read to read stale data. Add trace_access_lock() around updating the ring buffer sub-buffer size. - Fix eventfs_inode on failure path in creation of the events directory In the creation of the "events" directory, if after allocating the eventfs_inode a failure is detected, it calls cleanup_ei() which calls free_ei(). The free_ei() will test if eventfs_inode being freed has no children. It is a bug if it does. But on the failure case of the creation of the "events" directory, the children lists have not yet been initialized and the free will trigger a warning because list_empty() on an uninitialized list returns false. Move the initialization into init_ei() where it makes more sense and makes sure that a created eventfs_inode has its lists initialized upon creation. - Check return value of kthread_run() in ftrace direct sample code The sample code that shows how to use the ftrace direct calls does not test the return of kthread_run() to see if it succeeds. Return a failure if the kthread_run() doesn't succeed. - Clear user events state on fork in case of alloc failure On fork, the child gets a pointer to the parent's user events state. It makes a copy of it then updates the child's pointer to it. But if the allocation fails, the duplication function leaves the child with a pointer to its parent's descriptor. When the child cleans up its data, it will free the parent's descriptor while the parent is still using it. In the duplication function, set the child's user_event_mm to NULL before testing if the allocation succeeded, and when it exits it will not free the parent's descriptor. - Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap simple_ring_buffer_swap_reader_page() starts with retry set to 8 and post-decrements it only after a failed link replacement. On the final attempt, a successful replacement leaves retry at zero, while a failed replacement leaves it at -1. But the check for success expects the retry value to be non-zero and exits with an error on zero. This is the opposite result. Fix it. - Fail nicely when the remote swap_reader_page() returns an error Currently, if the swap_reader_page() of a remote buffer fails, it triggers a WARN_ON_ONCE() and continues normally. Instead, have it exit with an error and a pr_warn() print instead of a full WARNING. * tag 'trace-v7.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: ring-buffer: Stop remote reader update when page swap fails tracing: Fix retry exhaustion in simple ring buffer reader swap tracing/user_events: Clear copied tracing state before fork duplication samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-multi-modify samples/ftrace: Fix kthread_stop() on ERR_PTR in ftrace-direct-modify eventfs: Initialize ei->children and ei->list in init_ei() tracing: Fix use-after-free in trace_pipe read on sub-buffer order change tracing: Fix crash passing ERR_PTR to kthread_stop() tracing: Fix use-after-free with same-name named triggers tracing: Fix logged instance name on creation failure

+Description: Provide information about RNBD-client.
+ All sysfs files that are not read-only provide the usage information on read:
+
+ Example::
+
+ # cat /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/map_device
+
+ > Usage: echo "sessname=<name of the rtrs session> path=<[srcaddr,]dstaddr>
+ > [path=<[srcaddr,]dstaddr>] device_path=<full path on remote side>
+ > [access_mode=<ro|rw|migration>] > map_device
+ >
+ > addr ::= [ ip:<ipv4> | ip:<ipv6> | gid:<gid> ]

+Description: Expected format is the following::
+
+ sessname=<name of the rtrs session>
+ path=<[srcaddr,]dstaddr> [path=<[srcaddr,]dstaddr> ...]
+ device_path=<full path on remote side>
+ [access_mode=<ro|rw|migration>]
+
+ Where:
+
+ sessname:
+ accepts a string not bigger than 256 chars, which identifies
+ a given session on the client and on the server.
+ I.e. "clt_hostname-srv_hostname" could be a natural choice.
+
+ path:
+ describes a connection between the client and the server by
+ specifying destination and, when required, the source address.
+ The addresses are to be provided in the following format::
+
+ ip:<IPv6>
+ ip:<IPv4>
+ gid:<GID>
+
+ for example::
+
+ path=ip:10.0.0.66
+
+ The single addr is treated as the destination.
+ The connection will be established to this server from any client IP address.
+
+ ::
+
+ path=ip:10.0.0.66,ip:10.0.1.66
+
+ First addr is the source address and the second is the destination.
+
+ If multiple "path=" options are specified multiple connection
+ will be established and data will be sent according to
+ the selected multipath policy (see RTRS mp_policy sysfs entry description).
+
+ device_path:
+ Path to the block device on the server side. Path is specified
+ relative to the directory on server side configured in the
+ 'dev_search_path' module parameter of the rnbd_server.
+ The rnbd_server prepends the <device_path> received from client
+ with <dev_search_path> and tries to open the
+ <dev_search_path>/<device_path> block device. On success,
+ a /dev/rnbd<N> device file, a /sys/block/rnbd<N>/
+ directory and an entry in /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices
+ will be created.
+
+ If 'dev_search_path' contains '%SESSNAME%', then each session can
+ have different devices namespace, e.g. server was configured with
+ the following parameter "dev_search_path=/run/rnbd-devs/%SESSNAME%",
+ client has this string "sessname=blya device_path=sda", then server
+ will try to open: /run/rnbd-devs/blya/sda.
+
+ access_mode:
+ the access_mode parameter specifies if the device is to be
+ mapped as "ro" read-only or "rw" read-write. The server allows
+ a device to be exported in rw mode only once. The "migration"
+ access mode has to be specified if a second mapping in read-write
+ mode is desired.
+
+ By default "rw" is used.
+
+ nr_poll_queues
+ specifies the number of poll-mode queues. If the IO has HIPRI flag,
+ the block-layer will send the IO via the poll-mode queue.
+ For fast network and device the polling is faster than interrupt-base
+ IO handling because it saves time for context switching, switching to
+ another process, handling the interrupt and switching back to the
+ issuing process.
+
+ Set -1 if you want to set it as the number of CPUs
+ By default rnbd client creates only irq-mode queues.
+
+ NOTICE: MUST make a unique session for a device using the poll-mode queues.
+
+ Exit Codes:
+
+ If the device is already mapped it will fail with EEXIST. If the input
+ has an invalid format it will return EINVAL. If the device path cannot
+ be found on the server, it will fail with ENOENT.
+
+ Finding device file after mapping
+ ---------------------------------
+
+ After mapping, the device file can be found by:
+ o The symlink /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>@<session_name>
+ points to /sys/block/<dev-name>. The last part of the symlink destination
+ is the same as the device name. By extracting the last part of the
+ path the path to the device /dev/<dev-name> can be build.
+
+ * /dev/block/$(cat /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>@<session_name>/dev)
+
+ How to find the <device_id> of the device is described on the next
+ section.

+Description: For each device mapped on the client a new symbolic link is created as
+ /sys/class/rnbd-client/ctl/devices/<device_id>@<session_name>, which points
+ to the block device created by rnbd (/sys/block/rnbd<N>/).
+ The <device_id> of each device is created as follows:
+
+ - If the 'device_path' provided during mapping contains slashes ("/"),
+ they are replaced by exclamation mark ("!") and used as as the
+ <device_id>. Otherwise, the <device_id> will be the same as the
+ "device_path" provided.
