If name_show() is non unique, this test will try to install a kprobe on this
function which should fail returning EADDRNOTAVAIL.
On kernel where name_show() is not unique, this test is skipped.

 "Fixes to user_events test and ftrace test.

  The user_events test was enabled by default in Linux 6.6-rc1. The
  following fixes are for bugs found since then:

   - add checks for dependencies and skip the test if they aren't met.

     The user_events test requires root access, and tracefs and
     user_events enabled. It leaves tracefs mounted and a fix is in
     progress for that missing piece.

   - create user_events test-specific Kconfig fragments

  ftrace test fixes:

   - unmount tracefs for recovering environment. Fix identified during
     the above mentioned user_events dependencies fix.

   - adds softlink to latest log directory improving usage"

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Add missing LOCKDOWN checks for eventfs callers

   When LOCKDOWN is active for tracing, it causes inconsistent state
   when some functions succeed and others fail.

 - Use dput() to free the top level eventfs descriptor

   There was a race between accesses and freeing it.

 - Fix a long standing bug that eventfs exposed due to changing timings
   by dynamically creating files. That is, If a event file is opened for
   an instance, there's nothing preventing the instance from being
   removed which will make accessing the files cause use-after-free
   bugs.

 - Fix a ring buffer race that happens when iterating over the ring
   buffer while writers are active. Check to make sure not to read the
   event meta data if it's beyond the end of the ring buffer sub buffer.

 - Fix the print trigger that disappeared because the test to create it
   was looking for the event dir field being filled, but now it has the
   "ef" field filled for the eventfs structure.

 - Remove the unused "dir" field from the event structure.

 - Fix the order of the trace_dynamic_info as it had it backwards for
   the offset and len fields for which one was for which endianess.

 - Fix NULL pointer dereference with eventfs_remove_rec()

   If an allocation fails in one of the eventfs_add_*() functions, the
   caller of it in event_subsystem_dir() or event_create_dir() assigns
   the result to the structure. But it's assigning the ERR_PTR and not
   NULL. This was passed to eventfs_remove_rec() which expects either a
   good pointer or a NULL, not ERR_PTR. The fix is to not assign the
   ERR_PTR to the structure, but to keep it NULL on error.

 - Fix list_for_each_rcu() to use list_for_each_srcu() in
   dcache_dir_open_wrapper(). One iteration of the code used RCU but
   because it had to call sleepable code, it had to be changed to use
   SRCU, but one of the iterations was missed.

 - Fix synthetic event print function to use "as_u64" instead of passing
   in a pointer to the union. To fix big/little endian issues, the u64
   that represented several types was turned into a union to define the
   types properly.

Fix to unmount the tracefs if the ftracetest mounted it for recovering
system environment. If the tracefs is already mounted, this does nothing.

When I'm debugging something with the ftrace selftests and need to look at
the logs, it becomes tedious that I need to do the following:

 ls -ltr logs
 [ copy the last directory ]
 ls logs/&lt;paste-last-dir&gt;

to see where the logs are.

Instead, do the common practice of having a "latest" softlink to the last
run selftest. This way after running the selftest I only need to do:

 ls logs/latest/

and it will always give me the directory of the last run selftest logs!

Commit b81a3a100cca1b ("tracing/histogram: Add simple tests for
stacktrace usage of synthetic events") changed the output text in
tracefs README, but missed updating some of the dependencies specified
in selftests. This causes some of the tests to exit as unsupported.

Fix this by changing the grep pattern. Since we want these tests to work
on older kernels, match only against the common last part of the
pattern.

Pull probes updates from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - kprobes: use struct_size() for variable size kretprobe_instance data
   structure.

 - eprobe: Simplify trace_eprobe list iteration.

 - probe events: Data structure field access support on BTF argument.

     - Update BTF argument support on the functions in the kernel
       loadable modules (only loaded modules are supported).

     - Move generic BTF access function (search function prototype and
       get function parameters) to a separated file.

     - Add a function to search a member of data structure in BTF.

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from probe args by
       C-like arrow('-&gt;') and dot('.') operators. e.g.
          't sched_switch next=next-&gt;pid vruntime=next-&gt;se.vruntime'

     - Support accessing BTF data structure member from $retval. e.g.
          'f getname_flags%return +0($retval-&gt;name):string'

     - Add string type checking if BTF type info is available. This will
       reject if user specify ":string" type for non "char pointer"
       type.

     - Automatically assume the fprobe event as a function return event
       if $retval is used.

 - selftests/ftrace: Add BTF data field access test cases.

 - Documentation: Update fprobe event example with BTF data field.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "User visible changes:

   - Added a way to easier filter with cpumasks:

       # echo 'cpumask &amp; CPUS{17-42}' &gt; /sys/kernel/tracing/events/ipi_send_cpumask/filter

   - Show actual size of ring buffer after modifying the ring buffer
     size via buffer_size_kb.

     Currently it just returns what was written, but the actual size
     rounds up to the sub buffer size. Show that real size instead.

  Major changes:

   - Added "eventfs". This is the code that handles the inodes and
     dentries of tracefs/events directory. As there are thousands of
     events, and each event has several inodes and dentries that
     currently exist even when tracing is never used, they take up
     precious memory. Instead, eventfs will allocate the inodes and
     dentries in a JIT way (similar to what procfs does). There is now
     metadata that handles the events and subdirectories, and will
     create the inodes and dentries when they are used.

     Note, I also have patches that remove the subdirectory meta data,
     but will wait till the next merge window before applying them. It's
     a little more complex, and I want to make sure the dynamic code
     works properly before adding more complexity, making it easier to
     revert if need be.

  Minor changes:

   - Optimization to user event list traversal

   - Remove intermediate permission of tracefs files (note the
     intermediate permission removes all access to the files so it is
     not a security concern, but just a clean up)

   - Add the complex fix to FORTIFY_SOURCE to the kernel stack event
     logic

   - Other minor cleanups"
