Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Don't destroy user event fields when removal fails

   User event fields are destroyed before the event is removed from
   visibility. But that can fail leaving the still visible event with no
   fields. Move the destroying of the fields to after the event is
   successfully removed from visibility.

 - Initialize function graph state is fork before calling
   copy_exec_state()

   For non-CLONE_VM forks, copy_exec_state() allocates a new
   task_exec_state. If that allocation fails, ftrace_graph_exit_task()
   will free the tasks ret_stack pointer. Since that pointer is still
   using the parent's ret_stack, it mistakenly frees the parent's
   pointer too.

   Call ftrace_graph_init() on the task first which will NULL out the
   new tasks's ret_stack and if the copy fails, it will not free
   anything.

 - Remove FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX

   The macro FGRAPH_MAX_INDEX was added but never used. Remove it.

 - Save ent_size in function graph printing of nested functions

   The function graph tracer needs to look at the next event to see if
   the next event is the return of the current function entry. If it is,
   it prints a single line:

	ktime_get();

   Otherwise it prints it like a nested function:

	tick_nohz_irq_exit() {
	    ktime_get();
	    kcpustat_irq_exit();
	}

   In order to look at the next event, it must save the current event so
   that it has the information to print from it. It saves the event in
   the iterator descriptor called "ent". What it doesn't save is the
   ent_size of the event which is now used to know if the function graph
   arguments are to be printed. The peek doesn't save the size so the
   size used happens to be that of the size of the last event that was
   seen.

   Save the entry event size in the iterator descriptor so that the
   correct size is used.

 - Fix several errors with freeing data in the histogram code

   The histogram code had a lot of leaked or or incorrect accounting
   when failures happen. Correct them.

 - Fix histogram regression of .percent and .graph modifiers

   Up until 6.3 histogram values could have "percent" or "graph"
   modifiers that changed how they were printed. But a change that added
   restricting histograms values from being strings, stack traces and
   other modifiers inadvertently prevented them from using the percent
   and graph modifiers, which were legal use cases for values.

   Put back the percent and graph modifiers.

 - Fix various typos in the comments

 - Set the trace_clock before initializing a histogram with clock
   argument

   The histogram API allows the user to specific which trace clock to
   use via a "clock=" string. The histogram is set up first before the
   clock is checked. If the passed in clock is not valid, it exits
   without fully fixing up the histogram leaving it on the list and a
   use-after-free can trigger.

   Update the clock argument first and if it fails then exit gracefully
   before the histogram trigger is placed on any lists.

 - Restore :mod: trailer after parsing in ftrace_set_clr_event

   The function ftrace_set_clr_event() modifies the parse string and
   needs to put it back to what was passed in. It searches for ":mod:"
   via a strsep() but fails to put back the first ':' in the string.

   Add back the ':' in the passed in string.

 - Take trace_array reference when opening a tracer options file

   The options files are dynamically created and some tracers add their
   own options. When a tracer adds their own list of options, the
   trace_array holding them has an array to hold the list of options for
   each tracer. This array increases in size via a krealloc(), and the
   new entry gets a newly allocated array to hold the options of the new
   tracer being added.

   The element in each entry of the tracer's option array holds a
   pointer back to the trace_array, a pointer to the tracer it is
   associated to, a pointer to the flags of the option.

   The issue is that these arrays are freed when the trace_array is
   freed when its instance it represents is removed from the instances
   directory. There's a race that an open of one of these options files
   can happen when the instance is being removed.

   Add a new helper function to be called by the open function of the
   options file to iterate all existing trace_arrays under a lock and
   find the one that has the given option element in one of it's tracer
   arrays. If found, then update the associated trace_array's reference
   counter to keep it from being freed. If not found, have the open call
   return -ENODEV.

 - Disable interrupts when acquiring the lock in rb_wake_up_waiters()

   The function rb_wake_up_waiters() assumes it will be called in
   interrupt context and does not disable irqs when taking
   cpu_buffer->reader_lock, which can be called in hard interrupt
   context. The issue is in PREEMPT_RT, this function is called in
   thread context leaving this lock open to a deadlock.

   Take the lock with interrupts disabled.

 - Use rcu_assign_pointer() for tmp_ops filter hash

   The tmp_ops used in update_ftrace_direct_mod() assigns its
   filter_hash field directly, but that field is annotated as __rcu and
   sparse complains. Assign it with rcu_assign_pointer()

 - Fix use-after-free in enable_trigger_private_data_free()

   The trace_event_call is accessed through the event_trigger_data's
   trace_event_file pointer to put the trace_event_call on freeing. The
   issue is that the trace_event_file data may have been freed already
   causing a use-after-free. Add a field to the event_trigger_data that
   points directly to the trace_event_call so that it can decrement its
   reference directly without needing to go through the
   trace_event_file.

 - Fix accounting of buffer data remote headers

   trace_buffer_desc_size() and trace_remote_alloc_buffer() undercount
   the number of pages is needed for the asked for size as it doesn't
   take into account the meta data on each page. Add a helper function
   to do the calculation properly and use that in these functions.

 - Catch nr_page_va overflow in ring_buffer_desc sizing

   The number of pages per remote ring buffer is capped by
   ring_buffer_desc::nr_page_va (32 bits). A buffer_size large enough to
   overflow that field would silently allocate a descriptor smaller than
   what was asked for.

 - Do not resize the subbuf order if any per_cpu buffer is disabled

   The mmapping of ring buffers disables resizing the subbuffers, but it
   is done per-cpu whereas the subbuf size change is done for all the
   per_cpu buffers under the buffer->mutex. It could change the size of
   some while the mapping is happening on others. Have the resize of the
   subbuf order check all the per_cpu buffers under the lock to see if
   any of them is disabled before starting and causing an inconsistency
   between buffers that are being mapped.

+
+bpf_jit_enable
+--------------
+
+This enables the BPF Just in Time (JIT) compiler. BPF is a flexible
+and efficient infrastructure allowing to execute bytecode at various
+hook points. It is used in a number of Linux kernel subsystems such
+as networking (e.g. XDP, tc), tracing (e.g. kprobes, uprobes, tracepoints)
+and security (e.g. seccomp). LLVM has a BPF back end that can compile
+restricted C into a sequence of BPF instructions. After program load
+through bpf(2) and passing a verifier in the kernel, a JIT will then
+translate these BPF proglets into native CPU instructions. There are
+two flavors of JITs, the newer eBPF JIT currently supported on:
+
+  - x86_64
+  - x86_32
+  - arm64
+  - arm32
+  - ppc64
+  - ppc32
+  - sparc64
+  - mips64
+  - s390x
+  - riscv64
+  - riscv32
+  - loongarch64
+  - arc
+
+And the older cBPF JIT supported on the following archs:
+
+  - mips
+  - sparc
+
+eBPF JITs are a superset of cBPF JITs, meaning the kernel will
+migrate cBPF instructions into eBPF instructions and then JIT
+compile them transparently. Older cBPF JITs can only translate
+tcpdump filters, seccomp rules, etc, but not mentioned eBPF
+programs loaded through bpf(2).
+
+Values:
+
+	- 0 - disable the JIT (default value)
+	- 1 - enable the JIT
+	- 2 - enable the JIT and ask the compiler to emit traces on kernel log.
+
+bpf_jit_harden
+--------------
+
+This enables hardening for the BPF JIT compiler. Supported are eBPF
+JIT backends. Enabling hardening trades off performance, but can
+mitigate JIT spraying.
+
+Values:
+
+	- 0 - disable JIT hardening (default value)
+	- 1 - enable JIT hardening for unprivileged users only
+	- 2 - enable JIT hardening for all users
+
+where "privileged user" in this context means a process having
+CAP_BPF or CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the root user name space.
+
+bpf_jit_kallsyms
+----------------
+
+When BPF JIT compiler is enabled, then compiled images are unknown
+addresses to the kernel, meaning they neither show up in traces nor
+in /proc/kallsyms. This enables export of these addresses, which can
+be used for debugging/tracing. If bpf_jit_harden is enabled, this
+feature is disabled.
+
+Values :
+
+	- 0 - disable JIT kallsyms export (default value)
+	- 1 - enable JIT kallsyms export for privileged users only
+
+bpf_jit_limit
+-------------
+
+This enforces a global limit for memory allocations to the BPF JIT
+compiler in order to reject unprivileged JIT requests once it has
+been surpassed. bpf_jit_limit contains the value of the global limit
+in bytes.
+
+dev_weight
+----------
+
+The maximum number of packets that kernel can handle on a NAPI interrupt,
+it's a Per-CPU variable. For drivers that support LRO or GRO_HW, a hardware
+aggregated packet is counted as one packet in this context.
+
+Default: 64
+
+dev_weight_rx_bias
+------------------
+
+RPS (e.g. RFS, aRFS) processing is competing with the registered NAPI poll function
+of the driver for the per softirq cycle netdev_budget. This parameter influences
+the proportion of the configured netdev_budget that is spent on RPS based packet
+processing during RX softirq cycles. It is further meant for making current
+dev_weight adaptable for asymmetric CPU needs on RX/TX side of the network stack.
+(see dev_weight_tx_bias) It is effective on a per CPU basis. Determination is based
+on dev_weight and is calculated multiplicative (dev_weight * dev_weight_rx_bias).
+
+Default: 1
+
+dev_weight_tx_bias
+------------------
+
+Scales the maximum number of packets that can be processed during a TX softirq cycle.
+Effective on a per CPU basis. Allows scaling of current dev_weight for asymmetric
+net stack processing needs. Be careful to avoid making TX softirq processing a CPU hog.
+
+Calculation is based on dev_weight (dev_weight * dev_weight_tx_bias).
+
+Default: 1
+
+default_qdisc
+-------------
+
+The default queuing discipline to use for network devices. This allows
+overriding the default of pfifo_fast with an alternative. Since the default
+queuing discipline is created without additional parameters so is best suited
+to queuing disciplines that work well without configuration like stochastic
+fair queue (sfq), CoDel (codel) or fair queue CoDel (fq_codel). Don't use
+queuing disciplines like Hierarchical Token Bucket or Deficit Round Robin
+which require setting up classes and bandwidths. Note that physical multiqueue
+interfaces still use mq as root qdisc, which in turn uses this default for its
+leaves. Virtual devices (like e.g. lo or veth) ignore this setting and instead
+default to noqueue.
+
+Default: pfifo_fast
+
+busy_read
+---------
+
+Low latency busy poll timeout for socket reads. (needs CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL)
+Approximate time in us to busy loop waiting for packets on the device queue.
+This sets the default value of the SO_BUSY_POLL socket option.
+Can be set or overridden per socket by setting socket option SO_BUSY_POLL,
+which is the preferred method of enabling. If you need to enable the feature
+globally via sysctl, a value of 50 is recommended.
+
+Will increase power usage.
+
+Default: 0 (off)
+
+busy_poll
+----------------
+Low latency busy poll timeout for poll and select. (needs CONFIG_NET_RX_BUSY_POLL)
+Approximate time in us to busy loop waiting for events.
+Recommended value depends on the number of sockets you poll on.
+For several sockets 50, for several hundreds 100.
+For more than that you probably want to use epoll.
+Note that only sockets with SO_BUSY_POLL set will be busy polled,
+so you want to either selectively set SO_BUSY_POLL on those sockets or set
+sysctl.net.busy_read globally.
+
+Will increase power usage.
+
+Default: 0 (off)
+
+mem_pcpu_rsv
+------------
+
+Per-cpu reserved forward alloc cache size in page units. Default 1MB per CPU.
+
+bypass_prot_mem
+---------------
+
+Skip charging socket buffers to the global per-protocol memory
+accounting controlled by net.ipv4.tcp_mem, net.ipv4.udp_mem, etc.
+
+Default: 0 (off)
+
+rmem_default
+------------
+
+The default setting of the socket receive buffer in bytes.
+
+rmem_max
+--------
+
+The maximum receive socket buffer size in bytes.
+
+Default: 4194304
+
+rps_default_mask
+----------------
+
+The default RPS CPU mask used on newly created network devices. An empty
+mask means RPS disabled by default.
+
+tstamp_allow_data
+-----------------
+Allow processes to receive tx timestamps looped together with the original
+packet contents. If disabled, transmit timestamp requests from unprivileged
+processes are dropped unless socket option SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY is set.
+
+Default: 1 (on)
+
+
+wmem_default
+------------
+
+The default setting (in bytes) of the socket send buffer.
+
+wmem_max
+--------
+
+The maximum send socket buffer size in bytes.
+
+Default: 4194304
+
+message_burst and message_cost
+------------------------------
+
+These parameters  are used to limit the warning messages written to the kernel
+log from  the  networking  code.  They  enforce  a  rate  limit  to  make  a
+denial-of-service attack  impossible. A higher message_cost factor, results in
+fewer messages that will be written. Message_burst controls when messages will
+be dropped.  The  default  settings  limit  warning messages to one every five
+seconds.
+
+warnings
+--------
+
+This sysctl is now unused.
+
+This was used to control console messages from the networking stack that
+occur because of problems on the network like duplicate address or bad
+checksums.
+
+These messages are now emitted at KERN_DEBUG and can generally be enabled
+and controlled by the dynamic_debug facility.
+
+netdev_budget
+-------------
+
+Maximum number of packets taken from all interfaces in one polling cycle (NAPI
+poll). In one polling cycle interfaces which are registered to polling are
+probed in a round-robin manner. Also, a polling cycle may not exceed
+netdev_budget_usecs microseconds, even if netdev_budget has not been
+exhausted.
+
+netdev_budget_usecs
+---------------------
+
+Maximum number of microseconds in one NAPI polling cycle. Polling
+will exit when either netdev_budget_usecs have elapsed during the
+poll cycle or the number of packets processed reaches netdev_budget.
+
+netdev_max_backlog
+------------------
+
+Maximum number of packets, queued on the INPUT side, when the interface
+receives packets faster than kernel can process them.
+
+qdisc_max_burst
+------------------
+
+Maximum number of packets that can be temporarily stored before
+reaching qdisc.
+
+Default: 1000
+
+netdev_rss_key
+--------------
+
+RSS (Receive Side Scaling) enabled drivers use a host key that
+is randomly generated.
+Some user space might need to gather its content even if drivers do not
+provide ethtool -x support yet.
+
+::
+
+  myhost:~# cat /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key
+  84:50:f4:00:a8:15:d1:a7:e9:7f:1d:60:35:c7:47:25:42:97:74:ca:56:bb:b6:a1:d8: ... (256 bytes total)
+
+File contains all nul bytes if no driver ever called netdev_rss_key_fill()
+function.
+
+Note:
+  /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key contains 256 bytes of key,
+  but many drivers only use 40 or 52 bytes of it.
+
+::
+
+  myhost:~# ethtool -x eth0
+  RX flow hash indirection table for eth0 with 8 RX ring(s):
+      0:    0     1     2     3     4     5     6     7
+  RSS hash key:
+  84:50:f4:00:a8:15:d1:a7:e9:7f:1d:60:35:c7:47:25:42:97:74:ca:56:bb:b6:a1:d8:43:e3:c9:0c:fd:17:55:c2:3a:4d:69:ed:f1:42:89
+
+netdev_tstamp_prequeue
+----------------------
+
+If set to 0, RX packet timestamps can be sampled after RPS processing, when
+the target CPU processes packets. It might give some delay on timestamps, but
+permit to distribute the load on several cpus.
+
+If set to 1 (default), timestamps are sampled as soon as possible, before
+queueing.
+
+netdev_unregister_timeout_secs
+------------------------------
+
+Unregister network device timeout in seconds.
+This option controls the timeout (in seconds) used to issue a warning while
+waiting for a network device refcount to drop to 0 during device
+unregistration. A lower value may be useful during bisection to detect
+a leaked reference faster. A larger value may be useful to prevent false
+warnings on slow/loaded systems.
+Default value is 10, minimum 1, maximum 3600.
+
+skb_defer_max
+-------------
+
+Max size (in skbs) of the per-cpu list of skbs being freed
+by the cpu which allocated them.
+
+Default: 128
+
+optmem_max
+----------
+
+Maximum ancillary buffer size allowed per socket. Ancillary data is a sequence
+of struct cmsghdr structures with appended data. TCP tx zerocopy also uses
+optmem_max as a limit for its internal structures.
+
+Default : 128 KB
+
+fb_tunnels_only_for_init_net
+----------------------------
+
+Controls if fallback tunnels (like tunl0, gre0, gretap0, erspan0,
+sit0, ip6tnl0, ip6gre0) are automatically created. There are 3 possibilities
+(a) value = 0; respective fallback tunnels are created when module is
+loaded in every net namespaces (backward compatible behavior).
+(b) value = 1; [kcmd value: initns] respective fallback tunnels are
+created only in init net namespace and every other net namespace will
+not have them.
+(c) value = 2; [kcmd value: none] fallback tunnels are not created
+when a module is loaded in any of the net namespace. Setting value to
+"2" is pointless after boot if these modules are built-in, so there is
+a kernel command-line option that can change this default. Please refer to
+Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt for additional details.
+
+Not creating fallback tunnels gives control to userspace to create
+whatever is needed only and avoid creating devices which are redundant.
+
+Default : 0  (for compatibility reasons)
+
+devconf_inherit_init_net
+------------------------
+
+Controls if a new network namespace should inherit all current
+settings under /proc/sys/net/{ipv4,ipv6}/conf/{all,default}/. By
+default, we keep the current behavior: for IPv4 we inherit all current
+settings from init_net and for IPv6 we reset all settings to default.
+
+If set to 1, both IPv4 and IPv6 settings are forced to inherit from
+current ones in init_net. If set to 2, both IPv4 and IPv6 settings are
+forced to reset to their default values. If set to 3, both IPv4 and IPv6
+settings are forced to inherit from current ones in the netns where this
+new netns has been created.
+
+Default : 0  (for compatibility reasons)
+
+txrehash
+--------
+
+Controls default hash rethink behaviour on socket when SO_TXREHASH option is set
+to SOCK_TXREHASH_DEFAULT (i. e. not overridden by setsockopt).
+
+If set to 1 (default), hash rethink is performed on listening socket.
+If set to 0, hash rethink is not performed.
+
+txq_reselection_ms
+------------------
+
+Controls how often (in ms) a busy connected flow can select another tx queue.
+
+A resection is desirable when/if user thread has migrated and XPS
+would select a different queue. Same can occur without XPS
+if the flow hash has changed.
+
+But switching txq can introduce reorders, especially if the
+old queue is under high pressure. Modern TCP stacks deal
+well with reorders if they happen not too often.
+
+To disable this feature, set the value to 0.
+
+Default : 1000
+
+gro_normal_batch
+----------------
+
+Maximum number of the segments to batch up on output of GRO. When a packet
+exits GRO, either as a coalesced superframe or as an original packet which
+GRO has decided not to coalesce, it is placed on a per-NAPI list. This
+list is then passed to the stack when the number of segments reaches the
+gro_normal_batch limit.
+
+high_order_alloc_disable
+------------------------
+
+By default the allocator for page frags tries to use high order pages (order-3
+on x86). While the default behavior gives good results in most cases, some users
+might have hit a contention in page allocations/freeing. This was especially
+true on older kernels (< 5.14) when high-order pages were not stored on per-cpu
+lists. This allows to opt-in for order-0 allocation instead but is now mostly of
+historical importance.
+
+Default: 0
+
+2. /proc/sys/net/unix - Parameters for Unix domain sockets
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+There is only one file in this directory.
+unix_dgram_qlen limits the max number of datagrams queued in Unix domain
+socket's buffer. It will not take effect unless PF_UNIX flag is specified.
+
+
+3. /proc/sys/net/ipv4 - IPV4 settings
+-------------------------------------
+Please see: Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.rst and
+Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/net.rst for descriptions of these entries.
+
+
+4. TIPC
+-------
+
+tipc_rmem
+---------
+
+The TIPC protocol now has a tunable for the receive memory, similar to the
+tcp_rmem - i.e. a vector of 3 INTEGERs: (min, default, max)
+
+::
+
+    # cat /proc/sys/net/tipc/tipc_rmem
+    4252725 34021800        68043600
+    #
+
+The max value is set to CONN_OVERLOAD_LIMIT, and the default and min values
+are scaled (shifted) versions of that same value.  Note that the min value
+is not at this point in time used in any meaningful way, but the triplet is
+preserved in order to be consistent with things like tcp_rmem.
+
+named_timeout
+-------------
+
+TIPC name table updates are distributed asynchronously in a cluster, without
+any form of transaction handling. This means that different race scenarios are
+possible. One such is that a name withdrawal sent out by one node and received
+by another node may arrive after a second, overlapping name publication already
+has been accepted from a third node, although the conflicting updates
+originally may have been issued in the correct sequential order.
+If named_timeout is nonzero, failed topology updates will be placed on a defer
+queue until another event arrives that clears the error, or until the timeout
+expires. Value is in milliseconds.

+6. /proc/sys/net/vsock - VSOCK sockets
+--------------------------------------
+
+VSOCK sockets (AF_VSOCK) provide communication between virtual machines and
+their hosts. The behavior of VSOCK sockets in a network namespace is determined
+by the namespace's mode (``global`` or ``local``), which controls how CIDs
+(Context IDs) are allocated and how sockets interact across namespaces.
+
+ns_mode
+-------
+
+Read-only. Reports the current namespace's mode, set at namespace creation
+and immutable thereafter.
+
+Values:
+
+	- ``global`` - the namespace shares system-wide CID allocation and
+	  its sockets can reach any VM or socket in any global namespace.
+	  Sockets in this namespace cannot reach sockets in local
+	  namespaces.
+	- ``local`` - the namespace has private CID allocation and its
+	  sockets can only connect to VMs or sockets within the same
+	  namespace.
+
+The init_net mode is always ``global``.
+
+child_ns_mode
+-------------
+
+Controls what mode newly created child namespaces will inherit. At namespace
+creation, ``ns_mode`` is inherited from the parent's ``child_ns_mode``. The
+initial value matches the namespace's own ``ns_mode``.
+
+Values:
+
+	- ``global`` - child namespaces will share system-wide CID allocation
+	  and their sockets will be able to reach any VM or socket in any
+	  global namespace.
+	- ``local`` - child namespaces will have private CID allocation and
+	  their sockets will only be able to connect within their own
+	  namespace.
+
+The first write to ``child_ns_mode`` locks its value. Subsequent writes of the
+same value succeed, but writing a different value returns ``-EBUSY``.
+
+Changing ``child_ns_mode`` only affects namespaces created after the change;
+it does not modify the current namespace or any existing children.
+
+A namespace with ``ns_mode`` set to ``local`` cannot change
+``child_ns_mode`` to ``global`` (returns ``-EPERM``).
+
+g2h_fallback
+------------
+
+Controls whether connections to CIDs not owned by the host-to-guest (H2G)
+transport automatically fall back to the guest-to-host (G2H) transport.
+
+When enabled, if a connect targets a CID that the H2G transport (e.g.
+vhost-vsock) does not serve, or if no H2G transport is loaded at all, the
+connection is routed via the G2H transport (e.g. virtio-vsock) instead. This
+allows a host running both nested VMs (via vhost-vsock) and sibling VMs
+reachable through the hypervisor (e.g. Nitro Enclaves) to address both using
+a single CID space, without requiring applications to set
+``VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST``.
+
+When the fallback is taken, ``VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST`` is automatically set on
+the remote address so that userspace can determine the path via
+``getpeername()``.
+
+Note: With this sysctl enabled, user space that attempts to talk to a guest
+CID which is not implemented by the H2G transport will create host vsock
+traffic. Environments that rely on H2G-only isolation should set it to 0.
+
+Values:
+
+	- 0 - Connections to CIDs <= 2 or with VMADDR_FLAG_TO_HOST use G2H;
+	  all others use H2G (or fail with ENODEV if H2G is not loaded).
+	- 1 - Connections to CIDs not owned by H2G fall back to G2H. (default)
