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.

+ * livepatch-callbacks-demo.c - (un)patching callbacks livepatch demo
+ *
+ *
+ * Purpose
+ * -------
+ *
+ * Demonstration of registering livepatch (un)patching callbacks.
+ *
+ *
+ * Usage
+ * -----
+ *
+ * Step 1 - load the simple module
+ *
+ *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
+ *
+ *
+ * Step 2 - load the demonstration livepatch (with callbacks)
+ *
+ *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
+ *
+ *
+ * Step 3 - cleanup
+ *
+ *   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
+ *   rmmod livepatch_callbacks_demo
+ *   rmmod livepatch_callbacks_mod
+ *
+ * Watch dmesg output to see livepatch enablement, callback execution
+ * and patching operations for both vmlinux and module targets.
+ *
+ * NOTE: swap the insmod order of livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko and
+ *       livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko to observe what happens when a
+ *       target module is loaded after a livepatch with callbacks.
+ *
+ * NOTE: 'pre_patch_ret' is a module parameter that sets the pre-patch
+ *       callback return status.  Try setting up a non-zero status
+ *       such as -19 (-ENODEV):
+ *
+ *       # Load demo livepatch, vmlinux is patched
+ *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
+ *
+ *       # Setup next pre-patch callback to return -ENODEV
+ *       echo -19 > /sys/module/livepatch_callbacks_demo/parameters/pre_patch_ret
+ *
+ *       # Module loader refuses to load the target module
+ *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
+ *       insmod: ERROR: could not insert module samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko: No such device
+ *
+ * NOTE: There is a second target module,
+ *       livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko, available for experimenting
+ *       with livepatch (un)patch callbacks.  This module contains
+ *       a 'sleep_secs' parameter that parks the module on one of the
+ *       functions that the livepatch demo module wants to patch.
+ *       Modifying this value and tweaking the order of module loads can
+ *       effectively demonstrate stalled patch transitions:
+ *
+ *       # Load a target module, let it park on 'busymod_work_func' for
+ *       # thirty seconds
+ *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-busymod.ko sleep_secs=30
+ *
+ *       # Meanwhile load the livepatch
+ *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko
+ *
+ *       # ... then load and unload another target module while the
+ *       # transition is in progress
+ *       insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
+ *       rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-mod.ko
+ *
+ *       # Finally cleanup
+ *       echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_callbacks_demo/enabled
+ *       rmmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-callbacks-demo.ko

+ * livepatch-shadow-mod.c - Shadow variables, buggy module demo
+ *
+ * Purpose
+ * -------
+ *
+ * As a demonstration of livepatch shadow variable API, this module
+ * introduces memory leak behavior that livepatch modules
+ * livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko and livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko correct and
+ * enhance.
+ *
+ * WARNING - even though the livepatch-shadow-fix modules patch the
+ * memory leak, please load these modules at your own risk -- some
+ * amount of memory may leaked before the bug is patched.
+ *
+ *
+ * Usage
+ * -----
+ *
+ * Step 1 - Load the buggy demonstration module:
+ *
+ *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-mod.ko
+ *
+ * Watch dmesg output for a few moments to see new dummy being allocated
+ * and a periodic cleanup check.  (Note: a small amount of memory is
+ * being leaked.)
+ *
+ *
+ * Step 2 - Load livepatch fix1:
+ *
+ *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix1.ko
+ *
+ * Continue watching dmesg and note that now livepatch_fix1_dummy_free()
+ * and livepatch_fix1_dummy_alloc() are logging messages about leaked
+ * memory and eventually leaks prevented.
+ *
+ *
+ * Step 3 - Load livepatch fix2 (on top of fix1):
+ *
+ *   insmod samples/livepatch/livepatch-shadow-fix2.ko
+ *
+ * This module extends functionality through shadow variables, as a new
+ * "check" counter is added to the dummy structure.  Periodic dmesg
+ * messages will log these as dummies are cleaned up.
+ *
+ *
+ * Step 4 - Cleanup
+ *
+ * Unwind the demonstration by disabling the livepatch fix modules, then
+ * removing them and the demo module:
+ *
+ *   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix2/enabled
+ *   echo 0 > /sys/kernel/livepatch/livepatch_shadow_fix1/enabled
+ *   rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix2
+ *   rmmod livepatch-shadow-fix1
+ *   rmmod livepatch-shadow-mod
