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.

+Generic Radix Page Table
+========================
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/generic_pt/common.h
+	:doc: Generic Radix Page Table
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/iommu/generic_pt/pt_defs.h
+	:doc: Generic Page Table Language
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Generic PT is structured as a multi-compilation system. Since each format
+provides an API using a common set of names there can be only one format active
+within a compilation unit. This design avoids function pointers around the low
+level API.
+
+Instead the function pointers can end up at the higher level API (i.e.
+map/unmap, etc.) and the per-format code can be directly inlined into the
+per-format compilation unit. For something like IOMMU each format will be
+compiled into a per-format IOMMU operations kernel module.
+
+For this to work the .c file for each compilation unit will include both the
+format headers and the generic code for the implementation. For instance in an
+implementation compilation unit the headers would normally be included as
+follows:
+
+generic_pt/fmt/iommu_amdv1.c::
+
+	#include <linux/generic_pt/common.h>
+	#include "defs_amdv1.h"
+	#include "../pt_defs.h"
+	#include "amdv1.h"
+	#include "../pt_common.h"
+	#include "../pt_iter.h"
+	#include "../iommu_pt.h"  /* The IOMMU implementation */
+
+iommu_pt.h includes definitions that will generate the operations functions for
+map/unmap/etc. using the definitions provided by AMDv1. The resulting module
+will have exported symbols named like pt_iommu_amdv1_init().
+
+Refer to drivers/iommu/generic_pt/fmt/iommu_template.h for an example of how the
+IOMMU implementation uses multi-compilation to generate per-format ops structs
+pointers.
+
+The format code is written so that the common names arise from #defines to
+distinct format specific names. This is intended to aid debuggability by
+avoiding symbol clashes across all the different formats.
+
+Exported symbols and other global names are mangled using a per-format string
+via the NS() helper macro.
+
+The format uses struct pt_common as the top-level struct for the table,
+and each format will have its own struct pt_xxx which embeds it to store
+format-specific information.
+
+The implementation will further wrap struct pt_common in its own top-level
+struct, such as struct pt_iommu_amdv1.
+
+Format functions at the struct pt_common level
+----------------------------------------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/generic_pt/common.h
+	:identifiers:
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/iommu/generic_pt/pt_common.h
+
+Iteration Helpers
+-----------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/iommu/generic_pt/pt_iter.h
+
+Writing a Format
+----------------
+
+It is best to start from a simple format that is similar to the target. x86_64
+is usually a good reference for something simple, and AMDv1 is something fairly
+complete.
+
+The required inline functions need to be implemented in the format header.
+These should all follow the standard pattern of::
+
+ static inline pt_oaddr_t amdv1pt_entry_oa(const struct pt_state *pts)
+ {
+	[..]
+ }
+ #define pt_entry_oa amdv1pt_entry_oa
+
+where a uniquely named per-format inline function provides the implementation
+and a define maps it to the generic name. This is intended to make debug symbols
+work better. inline functions should always be used as the prototypes in
+pt_common.h will cause the compiler to validate the function signature to
+prevent errors.
+
+Review pt_fmt_defaults.h to understand some of the optional inlines.
+
+Once the format compiles then it should be run through the generic page table
+kunit test in kunit_generic_pt.h using kunit. For example::
+
+   $ tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --build_dir build_kunit_x86_64 --arch x86_64 --kunitconfig ./drivers/iommu/generic_pt/.kunitconfig amdv1_fmt_test.*
+   [...]
+   [11:15:08] Testing complete. Ran 9 tests: passed: 9
+   [11:15:09] Elapsed time: 3.137s total, 0.001s configuring, 2.368s building, 0.311s running
+
+The generic tests are intended to prove out the format functions and give
+clearer failures to speed up finding the problems. Once those pass then the
+entire kunit suite should be run.
+
+IOMMU Invalidation Features
+---------------------------
+
+Invalidation is how the page table algorithms synchronize with a HW cache of the
+page table memory, typically called the TLB (or IOTLB for IOMMU cases).
+
+The TLB can store present PTEs, non-present PTEs and table pointers, depending
+on its design. Every HW has its own approach on how to describe what has changed
+to have changed items removed from the TLB.
+
+PT_FEAT_FLUSH_RANGE
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+PT_FEAT_FLUSH_RANGE is the easiest scheme to understand. It tries to generate a
+single range invalidation for each operation, over-invalidating if there are
+gaps of VA that don't need invalidation. This trades off impacted VA for number
+of invalidation operations. It does not keep track of what is being invalidated;
+however, if pages have to be freed then page table pointers have to be cleaned
+from the walk cache. The range can start/end at any page boundary.
+
+PT_FEAT_FLUSH_RANGE_NO_GAPS
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+PT_FEAT_FLUSH_RANGE_NO_GAPS is similar to PT_FEAT_FLUSH_RANGE; however, it tries
+to minimize the amount of impacted VA by issuing extra flush operations. This is
+useful if the cost of processing VA is very high, for instance because a
+hypervisor is processing the page table with a shadowing algorithm.
