Merge tag 'trace-v7.3-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-tracegrafted
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

+config FAT_FS
+ tristate
+ select BUFFER_HEAD
+ select NLS
+ select LEGACY_DIRECT_IO
+ help
+ If you want to use one of the FAT-based file systems (the MS-DOS and
+ VFAT (Windows 95) file systems), then you must say Y or M here
+ to include FAT support. You will then be able to mount partitions or
+ diskettes with FAT-based file systems and transparently access the
+ files on them, i.e. MSDOS files will look and behave just like all
+ other Unix files.
+
+ This FAT support is not a file system in itself, it only provides
+ the foundation for the other file systems. You will have to say Y or
+ M to at least one of "MSDOS fs support" or "VFAT fs support" in
+ order to make use of it.
+
+ Another way to read and write MSDOS floppies and hard drive
+ partitions from within Linux (but not transparently) is with the
+ mtools ("man mtools") program suite. You don't need to say Y here in
+ order to do that.
+
+ If you need to move large files on floppies between a DOS and a
+ Linux box, say Y here, mount the floppy under Linux with an MSDOS
+ file system and use GNU tar's M option. GNU tar is a program
+ available for Unix and DOS ("man tar" or "info tar").
+
+ The FAT support will enlarge your kernel by about 37 KB. If unsure,
+ say Y.
+
+ To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
+ fat. Note that if you compile the FAT support as a module, you
+ cannot compile any of the FAT-based file systems into the kernel
+ -- they will have to be modules as well.
+
+config MSDOS_FS
+ tristate "MSDOS fs support"
+ select FAT_FS
+ help
+ This allows you to mount MSDOS partitions of your hard drive (unless
+ they are compressed; to access compressed MSDOS partitions under
+ Linux, you can either use the DOS emulator DOSEMU, described in the
+ DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from
+ <https://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, or try dmsdosfs in
+ <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/filesystems/dosfs/>. If you
+ intend to use dosemu with a non-compressed MSDOS partition, say Y
+ here) and MSDOS floppies. This means that file access becomes
+ transparent, i.e. the MSDOS files look and behave just like all
+ other Unix files.
+
+ If you have Windows 95 or Windows NT installed on your MSDOS
+ partitions, you should use the VFAT file system (say Y to "VFAT fs
+ support" below), or you will not be able to see the long filenames
+ generated by Windows 95 / Windows NT.
+
+ This option will enlarge your kernel by about 7 KB. If unsure,
+ answer Y. This will only work if you said Y to "DOS FAT fs support"
+ as well. To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will
+ be called msdos.
+
+config VFAT_FS
+ tristate "VFAT (Windows-95) fs support"
+ select FAT_FS
+ help
+ This option provides support for normal Windows file systems with
+ long filenames. That includes non-compressed FAT-based file systems
+ used by Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and the Unix
+ programs from the mtools package.
+
+ The VFAT support enlarges your kernel by about 10 KB and it only
+ works if you said Y to the "DOS FAT fs support" above. Please read
+ the file <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.rst> for details. If
+ unsure, say Y.
+
+ To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
+ vfat.
+
+config FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE
+ int "Default codepage for FAT"
+ depends on FAT_FS
+ default 437
+ help
+ This option should be set to the codepage of your FAT filesystems.
+ It can be overridden with the "codepage" mount option.
+ See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.rst> for more information.
+
+config FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET
+ string "Default iocharset for FAT"
+ depends on VFAT_FS
+ default "iso8859-1"
+ help
+ Set this to the default input/output character set you'd
+ like FAT to use. It should probably match the character set
+ that most of your FAT filesystems use, and can be overridden
+ with the "iocharset" mount option for FAT filesystems.
+ Note that "utf8" is not recommended for FAT filesystems.
+ If unsure, you shouldn't set "utf8" here - select the next option
+ instead if you would like to use UTF-8 encoded file names by default.
+ See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.rst> for more information.
+
+ Enable any character sets you need in File Systems/Native Language
+ Support.
+
+config FAT_DEFAULT_UTF8
+ bool "Enable FAT UTF-8 option by default"
+ depends on VFAT_FS
+ default n
+ help
+ Set this if you would like to have "utf8" mount option set
+ by default when mounting FAT filesystems.
+
+ Even if you say Y here can always disable UTF-8 for
+ particular mount by adding "utf8=0" to mount options.
+
+ Say Y if you use UTF-8 encoding for file names, N otherwise.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/filesystems/vfat.rst> for more information.
