Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - kprobes: Restructured stack unwinder to show properly on x86 when a
   stack dump happens from a kretprobe callback.

 - Fix to bootconfig parsing

 - Have tracefs allow owner and group permissions by default (only
   denying others). There's been pressure to allow non root to tracefs
   in a controlled fashion, and using groups is probably the safest.

 - Bootconfig memory managament updates.

 - Bootconfig clean up to have the tools directory be less dependent on
   changes in the kernel tree.

 - Allow perf to be traced by function tracer.

 - Rewrite of function graph tracer to be a callback from the function
   tracer instead of having its own trampoline (this change will happen
   on an arch by arch basis, and currently only x86_64 implements it).

 - Allow multiple direct trampolines (bpf hooks to functions) be batched
   together in one synchronization.

 - Allow histogram triggers to add variables that can perform
   calculations against the event's fields.

 - Use the linker to determine architecture callbacks from the ftrace
   trampoline to allow for proper parameter prototypes and prevent
   warnings from the compiler.

 - Extend histogram triggers to key off of variables.

 - Have trace recursion use bit magic to determine preempt context over
   if branches.

 - Have trace recursion disable preemption as all use cases do anyway.

 - Added testing for verification of tracing utilities.

 - Various small clean ups and fixes.

Building with 'make W=1' shows a warning in some configurations
when 'verbose()' is defined to be empty.

Change the definition of verbose() to use no_printk(), allowing format
string checking and avoiding the warning.

<title>ARM: kprobes: Make a frame pointer on __kretprobe_trampoline</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7e9bf33b812471ee57a03ec7f9b544ca437cc706</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently kretprobe on ARM just fills r0-r11 of pt_regs, but
that is not enough for the stacktrace. Moreover, from the user
kretprobe handler, stacktrace needs a frame pointer on the
__kretprobe_trampoline.

This adds a frame pointer on __kretprobe_trampoline for both gcc
and clang case. Those have different frame pointer so we need
different but similar stack on pt_regs.

Gcc makes the frame pointer (fp) to point the 'pc' address of
the {fp, ip (=sp), lr, pc}, this means {r11, r13, r14, r15}.
Thus if we save the r11 (fp) on pt_regs-&gt;r12, we can make this
set on the end of pt_regs.

On the other hand, Clang makes the frame pointer to point the
'fp' address of {fp, lr} on stack. Since the next to the
pt_regs-&gt;lr is pt_regs-&gt;sp, I reused the pair of pt_regs-&gt;fp
and pt_regs-&gt;ip.
So this stores the 'lr' on pt_regs-&gt;ip and make the fp to point
pt_regs-&gt;fp.

For both cases, saves __kretprobe_trampoline address to
pt_regs-&gt;lr, so that the stack tracer can identify this frame
pointer has been made by the __kretprobe_trampoline.

Note that if the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not set, this keeps
fp as is.

<title>arm: kprobes: Make space for instruction pointer on stack</title>

<content type='text'>
Since arm's __kretprobe_trampoline() saves partial 'pt_regs' on the
stack, 'regs-&gt;ARM_pc' (instruction pointer) is not accessible from
the kretprobe handler. This means if instruction_pointer_set() is
used from kretprobe handler, it will break the data on the stack.

Make space for instruction pointer (ARM_pc) on the stack in the
__kretprobe_trampoline() for fixing this problem.

Since now there is kretprobe_trampoline_addr() for referring the
address of kretprobe trampoline code, we don't need to access
kretprobe_trampoline directly.

Make it harder to refer by renaming it to __kretprobe_trampoline().

<content type='text'>
The __kretprobe_trampoline_handler() callback, called from low level
arch kprobes methods, has the 'trampoline_address' parameter, which is
entirely superfluous as it basically just replicates:

  dereference_kernel_function_descriptor(kretprobe_trampoline)

In fact we had bugs in arch code where it wasn't replicated correctly.

So remove this superfluous parameter and use kretprobe_trampoline_addr()
instead.

<title>kprobes: treewide: Use 'kprobe_opcode_t *' for the code address in get_optimized_kprobe()</title>

<content type='text'>
Since get_optimized_kprobe() is only used inside kprobes,
it doesn't need to use 'unsigned long' type for 'addr' parameter.
Make it use 'kprobe_opcode_t *' for the 'addr' parameter and
subsequent call of arch_within_optimized_kprobe() also should use
'kprobe_opcode_t *'.

Note that MAX_OPTIMIZED_LENGTH and RELATIVEJUMP_SIZE are defined
by byte-size, but the size of 'kprobe_opcode_t' depends on the
architecture. Therefore, we must be careful when calculating
addresses using those macros.
