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

+ * Copyright (C) 1995, 1996 Gero Kuhlmann <gero@gkminix.han.de>
+ *
+ * Allow an NFS filesystem to be mounted as root. The way this works is:
+ * (1) Use the IP autoconfig mechanism to set local IP addresses and routes.
+ * (2) Construct the device string and the options string using DHCP
+ * option 17 and/or kernel command line options.
+ * (3) When mount_root() sets up the root file system, pass these strings
+ * to the NFS client's regular mount interface via sys_mount().
+ *
+ *
+ * Changes:
+ *
+ * Alan Cox : Removed get_address name clash with FPU.
+ * Alan Cox : Reformatted a bit.
+ * Gero Kuhlmann : Code cleanup
+ * Michael Rausch : Fixed recognition of an incoming RARP answer.
+ * Martin Mares : (2.0) Auto-configuration via BOOTP supported.
+ * Martin Mares : Manual selection of interface & BOOTP/RARP.
+ * Martin Mares : Using network routes instead of host routes,
+ * allowing the default configuration to be used
+ * for normal operation of the host.
+ * Martin Mares : Randomized timer with exponential backoff
+ * installed to minimize network congestion.
+ * Martin Mares : Code cleanup.
+ * Martin Mares : (2.1) BOOTP and RARP made configuration options.
+ * Martin Mares : Server hostname generation fixed.
+ * Gerd Knorr : Fixed wired inode handling
+ * Martin Mares : (2.2) "0.0.0.0" addresses from command line ignored.
+ * Martin Mares : RARP replies not tested for server address.
+ * Gero Kuhlmann : (2.3) Some bug fixes and code cleanup again (please
+ * send me your new patches _before_ bothering
+ * Linus so that I don' always have to cleanup
+ * _afterwards_ - thanks)
+ * Gero Kuhlmann : Last changes of Martin Mares undone.
+ * Gero Kuhlmann : RARP replies are tested for specified server
+ * again. However, it's now possible to have
+ * different RARP and NFS servers.
+ * Gero Kuhlmann : "0.0.0.0" addresses from command line are
+ * now mapped to INADDR_NONE.
+ * Gero Kuhlmann : Fixed a bug which prevented BOOTP path name
+ * from being used (thanks to Leo Spiekman)
+ * Andy Walker : Allow to specify the NFS server in nfs_root
+ * without giving a path name
+ * Swen Thümmler : Allow to specify the NFS options in nfs_root
+ * without giving a path name. Fix BOOTP request
+ * for domainname (domainname is NIS domain, not
+ * DNS domain!). Skip dummy devices for BOOTP.
+ * Jacek Zapala : Fixed a bug which prevented server-ip address
+ * from nfsroot parameter from being used.
+ * Olaf Kirch : Adapted to new NFS code.
+ * Jakub Jelinek : Free used code segment.
+ * Marko Kohtala : Fixed some bugs.
+ * Martin Mares : Debug message cleanup
+ * Martin Mares : Changed to use the new generic IP layer autoconfig
+ * code. BOOTP and RARP moved there.
+ * Martin Mares : Default path now contains host name instead of
+ * host IP address (but host name defaults to IP
+ * address anyway).
+ * Martin Mares : Use root_server_addr appropriately during setup.
+ * Martin Mares : Rewrote parameter parsing, now hopefully giving
+ * correct overriding.
+ * Trond Myklebust : Add in preliminary support for NFSv3 and TCP.
+ * Fix bug in root_nfs_addr(). nfs_data.namlen
+ * is NOT for the length of the hostname.
+ * Hua Qin : Support for mounting root file system via
+ * NFS over TCP.
+ * Fabian Frederick: Option parser rebuilt (using parser lib)
+ * Chuck Lever : Use super.c's text-based mount option parsing
+ * Chuck Lever : Add "nfsrootdebug".
