2bf16b7a73 Char/Misc patches for 4.15-rc1
Here is the big set of char/misc and other driver subsystem patches for
 4.15-rc1.
 
 There are small changes all over here, hyperv driver updates, pcmcia
 driver updates, w1 driver updats, vme driver updates, nvmem driver
 updates, and lots of other little one-off driver updates as well.  The
 shortlog has the full details.
 
 Note, there will be a merge conflict in drivers/misc/lkdtm_core.c when
 merging to your tree as one lkdtm patch came in through the perf tree as
 well as this one.  The resolution is to take the const change that this
 tree provides.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for quite a while with no reported
 issues.

b4d9421098 ftrace/docs: Add documentation on how to use ftrace from within the kernel
With the coming removal of jprobes, using ftrace callbacks is one of the
utilities that replace the jprobes functionality. Having a document that
explains how to use ftrace as such will help in the transition from jprobes
to ftrace. This document is for kernel developers that require attaching a
callback to a function within the kernel.

24f0d316fd doc: coresight: correct usage for disabling idle states
In the coresight CPU debug document it suggests to use 'echo' command
to set latency request to /dev/cpu_dma_latency so can disable all CPU
idle states, but in fact this doesn't work.

This is because when the command 'echo' exits, it releases the device
node's file descriptor and the kernel release function removes the QoS
constraint; finally when the command 'echo' finished there have no
constraint imposed on cpu_dma_latency.

This patch changes to use 'exec' to access '/dev/cpu_dma_latency', the
command 'exec' can avoid the file descriptor to be closed so we can
keep the constraint on cpu_dma_latency.

This patch also adds the info for reference docs for PM QoS and cpuidle
sysfs.

4c174688ee New features for this release:
o Pretty much a full rewrite of the processing of function plugins.
    i.e. echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
 
  o The rewrite was needed to add plugins to be unique to tracing instances.
    i.e. mkdir instance/foo; cd instances/foo; echo do_IRQ:stacktrace > set_ftrace_filter
    The old way was written very hacky. This removes a lot of those hacks.
 
  o New "function-fork" tracing option. When set, pids in the set_ftrace_pid
    will have their children added when the processes with their pids
    listed in the set_ftrace_pid file forks.
 
  o Exposure of "maxactive" for kretprobe in kprobe_events
 
  o Allow for builtin init functions to be traced by the function tracer
    (via the kernel command line). Module init function tracing will come
    in the next release.
 
  o Added more selftests, and have selftests also test in an instance.

696ced4fb1 tracing/kprobes: expose maxactive for kretprobe in kprobe_events
When a kretprobe is installed on a kernel function, there is a maximum
limit of how many calls in parallel it can catch (aka "maxactive"). A
kernel module could call register_kretprobe() and initialize maxactive
(see example in samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c).

But that is not exposed to userspace and it is currently not possible to
choose maxactive when writing to /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events

The default maxactive can be as low as 1 on single-core with a
non-preemptive kernel. This is too low and we need to increase it not
only for recursive functions, but for functions that sleep or resched.

This patch updates the format of the command that can be written to
kprobe_events so that maxactive can be optionally specified.

I need this for a bpf program attached to the kretprobe of
inet_csk_accept, which can sleep for a long time.

This patch includes a basic selftest:

> # ./ftracetest -v  test.d/kprobe/
> === Ftrace unit tests ===
> [1] Kprobe dynamic event - adding and removing	[PASS]
> [2] Kprobe dynamic event - busy event check	[PASS]
> [3] Kprobe dynamic event with arguments	[PASS]
> [4] Kprobes event arguments with types	[PASS]
> [5] Kprobe dynamic event with function tracer	[PASS]
> [6] Kretprobe dynamic event with arguments	[PASS]
> [7] Kretprobe dynamic event with maxactive	[PASS]

179a7ba680 This release has a few updates:
o STM can hook into the function tracer
  o Function filtering now supports more advance glob matching
  o Ftrace selftests updates and added tests
  o Softirq tag in traces now show only softirqs
  o ARM nop added to non traced locations at compile time
  o New trace_marker_raw file that allows for binary input
  o Optimizations to the ring buffer
  o Removal of kmap in trace_marker
  o Wakeup and irqsoff tracers now adhere to the set_graph_notrace file
  o Other various fixes and clean ups
 
 Note, there are two patches marked for stable. These were discovered
 near the end of the 4.9 rc release cycle. By the time I had them tested
 it was just a matter of days before 4.9 would be released, and I
 figured I would just submit them in the merge window. They are old
 bugs and not critical. Nothing non-root could abuse.

This allows for appications to create data structures and write the binary
data directly into it, and then read the trace data out from trace_pipe_raw

ASCII that would be required by trace_marker.

Use glob_match() to support flexible glob wildcards (*,?)

Since the full glob matching is slower than the current

  that accumulated a lot of changes:

   - Add CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y support to the core kernel and enable it on
     x86 - preceded by an array of changes. v4.8 saw preparatory changes
     in this area already - this is the rest of the work. Includes the
     thread stack caching performance optimization. (Andy Lutomirski)

   - switch_to() cleanups and all around enhancements. (Brian Gerst)

   - A large number of dumpstack infrastructure enhancements and an
     unwinder abstraction. The secret long term plan is safe(r) live
     patching plus maybe another attempt at debuginfo based unwinding -
     but all these current bits are standalone enhancements in a frame
     pointer based debug environment as well. (Josh Poimboeuf)

   - More __ro_after_init and const annotations. (Kees Cook)

   - Enable KASLR for the vmemmap memory region. (Thomas Garnier)"

[ The virtually mapped stack changes are pretty fundamental, and not
  x86-specific per se, even if they are only used on x86 right now. ]

0330f7aa8e tracing: Have hwlat trace migrate across tracing_cpumask CPUs
Instead of having the hwlat detector thread stay on one CPU, have it migrate
across all the CPUs specified by tracing_cpumask. If the user modifies the
thread's CPU affinity, the migration will stop until the next instance that
the tracer is instantiated. The migration happens at the end of each window
(period).
