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.

+DebugFS
+=======

+Copyright |copy| 2009 Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
+
+Debugfs exists as a simple way for kernel developers to make information
+available to user space.  Unlike /proc, which is only meant for information
+about a process, or sysfs, which has strict one-value-per-file rules,
+debugfs has no rules at all.  Developers can put any information they want
+there.  The debugfs filesystem is also intended to not serve as a stable
+ABI to user space; in theory, there are no stability constraints placed on
+files exported there.  The real world is not always so simple, though [1]_;
+even debugfs interfaces are best designed with the idea that they will need
+to be maintained forever.
+
+Debugfs is typically mounted with a command like::
+
+    mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+
+(Or an equivalent /etc/fstab line).
+The debugfs root directory is accessible only to the root user by
+default. To change access to the tree the "uid", "gid" and "mode" mount
+options can be used.
+
+Note that the debugfs API is exported GPL-only to modules.
+
+Code using debugfs should include <linux/debugfs.h>.  Then, the first order
+of business will be to create at least one directory to hold a set of
+debugfs files::
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent);
+
+This call, if successful, will make a directory called name underneath the
+indicated parent directory.  If parent is NULL, the directory will be
+created in the debugfs root.  On success, the return value is a struct
+dentry pointer which can be used to create files in the directory (and to
+clean it up at the end).  An ERR_PTR(-ERROR) return value indicates that
+something went wrong.  If ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) is returned, that is an
+indication that the kernel has been built without debugfs support and none
+of the functions described below will work.
+
+The most general way to create a file within a debugfs directory is with::
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_file(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+				       struct dentry *parent, void *data,
+				       const struct file_operations *fops);
+
+Here, name is the name of the file to create, mode describes the access
+permissions the file should have, parent indicates the directory which
+should hold the file, data will be stored in the i_private field of the
+resulting inode structure, and fops is a set of file operations which
+implement the file's behavior.  At a minimum, the read() and/or write()
+operations should be provided; others can be included as needed.  Again,
+the return value will be a dentry pointer to the created file,
+ERR_PTR(-ERROR) on error, or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) if debugfs support is
+missing.
+
+Create a file with an initial size, the following function can be used
+instead::
+
+    void debugfs_create_file_size(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+				  struct dentry *parent, void *data,
+				  const struct file_operations *fops,
+				  loff_t file_size);
+
+file_size is the initial file size. The other parameters are the same
+as the function debugfs_create_file.
+
+In a number of cases, the creation of a set of file operations is not
+actually necessary; the debugfs code provides a number of helper functions
+for simple situations.  Files containing a single integer value can be
+created with any of::
+
+    void debugfs_create_u8(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			   struct dentry *parent, u8 *value);
+    void debugfs_create_u16(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			    struct dentry *parent, u16 *value);
+    void debugfs_create_u32(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			    struct dentry *parent, u32 *value);
+    void debugfs_create_u64(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			    struct dentry *parent, u64 *value);
+
+These files support both reading and writing the given value; if a specific
+file should not be written to, simply set the mode bits accordingly.  The
+values in these files are in decimal; if hexadecimal is more appropriate,
+the following functions can be used instead::
+
+    void debugfs_create_x8(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			   struct dentry *parent, u8 *value);
+    void debugfs_create_x16(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			    struct dentry *parent, u16 *value);
+    void debugfs_create_x32(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			    struct dentry *parent, u32 *value);
+    void debugfs_create_x64(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			    struct dentry *parent, u64 *value);
+
+These functions are useful as long as the developer knows the size of the
+value to be exported.  Some types can have different widths on different
+architectures, though, complicating the situation somewhat.  There are
+functions meant to help out in such special cases::
+
+    void debugfs_create_size_t(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			       struct dentry *parent, size_t *value);
+
+As might be expected, this function will create a debugfs file to represent
+a variable of type size_t.
+
+Similarly, there are helpers for variables of type unsigned long, in decimal
+and hexadecimal::
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_ulong(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+					struct dentry *parent,
+					unsigned long *value);
+    void debugfs_create_xul(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			    struct dentry *parent, unsigned long *value);
+
+Boolean values can be placed in debugfs with::
+
+    void debugfs_create_bool(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+                             struct dentry *parent, bool *value);
+
+A read on the resulting file will yield either Y (for non-zero values) or
+N, followed by a newline.  If written to, it will accept either upper- or
+lower-case values, or 1 or 0.  Any other input will be silently ignored.
+
+Also, atomic_t values can be placed in debugfs with::
+
+    void debugfs_create_atomic_t(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+				 struct dentry *parent, atomic_t *value)
+
+A read of this file will get atomic_t values, and a write of this file
+will set atomic_t values.
+
+Another option is exporting a block of arbitrary binary data, with
+this structure and function::
+
+    struct debugfs_blob_wrapper {
+	void *data;
+	unsigned long size;
+    };
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_blob(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+				       struct dentry *parent,
+				       struct debugfs_blob_wrapper *blob);
+
+A read of this file will return the data pointed to by the
+debugfs_blob_wrapper structure.  Some drivers use "blobs" as a simple way
+to return several lines of (static) formatted text output.  This function
+can be used to export binary information, but there does not appear to be
+any code which does so in the mainline.  Note that all files created with
+debugfs_create_blob() are read-only.
+
+If you want to dump a block of registers (something that happens quite
+often during development, even if little such code reaches mainline),
+debugfs offers two functions: one to make a registers-only file, and
+another to insert a register block in the middle of another sequential
+file::
+
+    struct debugfs_reg32 {
+	char *name;
+	unsigned long offset;
+    };
+
+    struct debugfs_regset32 {
+	const struct debugfs_reg32 *regs;
+	int nregs;
+	void __iomem *base;
+	struct device *dev;     /* Optional device for Runtime PM */
+    };
+
+    debugfs_create_regset32(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			    struct dentry *parent,
+			    struct debugfs_regset32 *regset);
+
+    void debugfs_print_regs32(struct seq_file *s, const struct debugfs_reg32 *regs,
+			 int nregs, void __iomem *base, char *prefix);
+
+The "base" argument may be 0, but you may want to build the reg32 array
+using __stringify, and a number of register names (macros) are actually
+byte offsets over a base for the register block.
+
+If you want to dump a u32 array in debugfs, you can create a file with::
+
+    struct debugfs_u32_array {
+	u32 *array;
+	u32 n_elements;
+    };
+
+    void debugfs_create_u32_array(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+			struct dentry *parent,
+			struct debugfs_u32_array *array);
+
+The "array" argument wraps a pointer to the array's data and the number
+of its elements. Note: Once array is created its size can not be changed.
+
+There is a helper function to create a device-related seq_file::
+
+   void debugfs_create_devm_seqfile(struct device *dev,
+				const char *name,
+				struct dentry *parent,
+				int (*read_fn)(struct seq_file *s,
+					void *data));
+
+The "dev" argument is the device related to this debugfs file, and
+the "read_fn" is a function pointer which to be called to print the
+seq_file content.
+
+There are a couple of other directory-oriented helper functions::
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_change_name(struct dentry *dentry,
+					  const char *fmt, ...);
+
+    struct dentry *debugfs_create_symlink(const char *name,
+                                          struct dentry *parent,
+				      	  const char *target);
+
+A call to debugfs_change_name() will give a new name to an existing debugfs
+file, always in the same directory.  The new_name must not exist prior
+to the call; the return value is 0 on success and -E... on failure.
+Symbolic links can be created with debugfs_create_symlink().
+
+There is one important thing that all debugfs users must take into account:
+there is no automatic cleanup of any directories created in debugfs.  If a
+module is unloaded without explicitly removing debugfs entries, the result
+will be a lot of stale pointers and no end of highly antisocial behavior.
+So all debugfs users - at least those which can be built as modules - must
+be prepared to remove all files and directories they create there.  A file
+or directory can be removed with::
+
+    void debugfs_remove(struct dentry *dentry);
+
+The dentry value can be NULL or an error value, in which case nothing will
+be removed.  Note that this function will recursively remove all files and
+directories underneath it.  Previously, debugfs_remove_recursive() was used
+to perform that task, but this function is now just an alias to
+debugfs_remove().  debugfs_remove_recursive() should be considered
+deprecated.
