Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace
Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Rewrite of function graph tracer to allow multiple users
Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user
attached to it. If another user tried to attach to the function graph
tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing
function graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for
since 2009, but it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so
it never happened. Until now!
There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is
kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function
graph tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes
uses a shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a
shadow stack for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it
possible to trace the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs
that feature too, allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed.
BPF also wants to trace the return of many probes and its method
doesn't scale either. Having it use function graph tracer would
improve that.
By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both
kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This
will allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version
will no longer be needed.
Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16 simultaneous users,
due to shadow stack size and allocated slots"
