<content type='text'>
Add a check confirming that '!event' alone will remove a synthetic
event.

<content type='text'>
Some of the synthetic event errors and positions have changed in the
code - update those and add several more tests.

Also add a runtime check to ensure that the kernel supports dynamic
strings in synthetic events, which these tests require.

<title>selftests/ftrace: check for do_sys_openat2 in user-memory test</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e3e40312567087fbe6880f316cb2b0e1f3d8a82c</id>
<content type='text'>
More recent libc implementations are now using openat/openat2 system
calls so also add do_sys_openat2 to the tracing so that the test
passes on these systems because do_sys_open may not be called.

Thanks to Masami Hiramatsu for the help on getting this fix to work
correctly.

<title>selftests/ftrace: Use $FUNCTION_FORK to reference kernel fork function</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dc6bf4da825aa0301a46f55fec7c0bb706af2aad</id>
<content type='text'>
Commit cad6967ac108 ("fork: introduce kernel_clone()") replaced "_do_fork()"
with "kernel_clone()". The ftrace selftests reference the fork function in
several of the tests. The rename will make the tests break, but if those
names are changed in the tests, they would then break on older kernels. The
same set of tests should pass older kernels if they have previously passed.
Obviously, a new test may not work on older kernels if the test was added
due to a bug or a new feature.

The setup of ftracetest will now create a $FUNCTION_FORK bash variable
that will contain "_do_fork" for older kernels and "kernel_clone" for newer
ones. It figures out the proper name by examining /proc/kallsyms.

Note, available_filter_functions could also be used, but because some tests
should be able to pass without function tracing enabled, it could not be
used.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Updates for tracing and bootconfig:

   - Add support for "bool" type in synthetic events

   - Add per instance tracing for bootconfig

   - Support perf-style return probe ("SYMBOL%return") in kprobes and
     uprobes

   - Allow for kprobes to be enabled earlier in boot up

   - Added tracepoint helper function to allow testing if tracepoints
     are enabled in headers

   - Synthetic events can now have dynamic strings (variable length)

   - Various fixes and cleanups"

<content type='text'>
This test uses waking+wakeup_latency as an event name, which doesn't
make sense since it includes an operator.  Illegal names are now
detected by the synthetic event command parsing, which causes this
test to fail.  Change the name to 'waking_plus_wakeup_latency' to
prevent this.

The old _do_fork() helper is removed in favor of the new kernel_clone() helper.
The latter adheres to naming conventions for kernel internal syscall helpers.
