Add ftrace.instance.*.alloc_snapshot option.
This option has been described in Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst
but not implemented yet.
ftrace.[instance.INSTANCE.]alloc_snapshot
Allocate snapshot buffer.
The difference from kernel.alloc_snapshot is that the kernel.alloc_snapshot
will allocate the buffer only for the main instance, but this can allocate
buffer for any new instances.

Below race can come, if trace_open and resize of
cpu buffer is running parallely on different cpus
CPUX CPUY
ring_buffer_resize
atomic_read(&buffer->resize_disabled)
tracing_open
tracing_reset_online_cpus
ring_buffer_reset_cpu
rb_reset_cpu
rb_update_pages
remove/insert pages
resetting pointer
This race can cause data abort or some times infinte loop in
rb_remove_pages and rb_insert_pages while checking pages
for sanity.
Take buffer lock to fix this.

Based on the following two reasones, we could simplify the calculation:
- If the number after roundup count is not power of 2, we would
definitely have more than 1 empty page with a higher order.
- get_count_order() just return current order, so one lower order
could meet the requirement.
The calculation could be simplified by lower one order level when pages
are not power of 2.

No need to add a check to subtract the number of bits if bits is zero after
fls(). Just divide the size by two before calling it. This does give the
same answer for size of 0 and 1, but that's fine.

Currently, sythetic events only support static string fields such as:
# echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[32]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
Which is fine, but wastes a lot of space in the event.
It also prevents the most commonly-defined strings in the existing
trace events e.g. those defined using __string(), from being passed to
synthetic events via the trace() action.
With this change, synthetic events with dynamic fields can be defined:
# echo 'test_latency u64 lat; char somename[]' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/synthetic_events
And the trace() action can be used to generate events using either
dynamic or static strings:
# echo 'hist:keys=name:lat=common_timestamp.usecs-$ts0:onmatch(sys.event).test_latency($lat,name)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events
The synthetic event dynamic strings are implemented in the same way as
the existing __data_loc strings and appear as such in the format file.
[ <rostedt@goodmis.org>: added __set_synth_event_print_fmt() changes:
I added the following to make it work with trace-cmd. Dynamic strings
must have __get_str() for events in the print_fmt otherwise it can't be
parsed correctly. ]

String variables created as field variables and save variables are
already handled properly by having their values copied when set. The
same isn't done for normal variables, but needs to be - simply saving
a pointer to a string contained in an old event isn't sufficient,
since that event's data may quickly become overwritten and therefore a
string pointer to it could yield garbage.
This change uses the same mechanism as field variables and simply
appends the new strings to the existing per-element field_var_str[]
array allocated for that purpose.

synth_field_size() returns either a positive size or an error (zero or
a negative value). However, the existing code assumes the only error
value is 0. It doesn't handle negative error codes, as it assigns
directly to field->size (a size_t; unsigned), thereby interpreting the
error code as a valid size instead.
Do the test before assignment to field->size.

7f47d8cc03 ("x86, tracing, perf: Add trace point for MSR accesses") added
tracing of msr read and write, but because of complexity in having
tracepoints in headers, and even more so for a core header like msr.h, not
to mention the bloat a tracepoint adds to inline functions, a helper
function is needed to be called from the header.
Use the new tracepoint_enabled() macro in tracepoint-defs.h to test if the
tracepoint is active before calling the helper function, instead of open
coding the same logic, which requires knowing the internals of a tracepoint.

As tracepoints are discouraged from being added in a header because it can
cause side effects if other tracepoints are in headers, as well as bloat the
kernel as the trace_<tracepoint>() function is not a small inline, the common
workaround is to add a function call that calls a wrapper function in a
C file that then calls the tracepoint. But as function calls add overhead,
this function should only be called when the tracepoint in question is
enabled. To get around this overhead, a static_branch can be used to only
have the tracepoint wrapper get called when the tracepoint is enabled.
Add a tracepoint_enabled(tp) macro that gets passed the name of the
tracepoint, and this becomes a static_branch that is enabled when the
tracepoint is enabled and is a nop when the tracepoint is disabled.

It seems that alloc_retstack_tasklist() can also take a lockless
approach for scanning the tasklist, instead of using the big global
tasklist_lock. For this we also kill another deprecated and rcu-unsafe
tsk->thread_group user replacing it with for_each_process_thread(),
maintaining semantics.
Here tasklist_lock does not protect anything other than the list
against concurrent fork/exit. And considering that the whole thing
is capped by FTRACE_RETSTACK_ALLOC_SIZE (32), it should not be a
problem to have a pontentially stale, yet stable, list. The task cannot
go away either, so we don't risk racing with ftrace_graph_exit_task()
which clears the retstack.
The tsk->ret_stack management is not protected by tasklist_lock, being
serialized with the corresponding publish/subscribe barriers against
concurrent ftrace_push_return_trace(). In addition this plays nicer
with cachelines by avoiding two atomic ops in the uncontended case.

Add a ftrace2bconf.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates
a bootconfig file from the current ftrace settings.
To read the ftrace settings, ftrace2bconf.sh requires the root
privilege (or sudo). The ftrace2bconf.sh will output the bootconfig
to stdout and error messages to stderr, so usually you'll run it as
# ftrace2bconf.sh > ftrace.bconf
Note that some ftrace configurations are not supported. For example,
function-call/callgraph trace/notrace settings are not supported because
the wildcard has been expanded and lost in the ftrace anymore.

Add a bconf2ftrace.sh under tools/bootconfig/scripts which generates
a shell script to setup boot-time trace from bootconfig file for testing
the bootconfig.
bconf2ftrace.sh will take a bootconfig file (includes boot-time tracing)
and convert it into a shell-script which is almost same as the boot-time
tracer does.
If --apply option is given, it also tries to apply those command to the
running kernel, which requires the root privilege (or sudo).
For example, if you just want to confirm the shell commands, save
the output as below.
# bconf2ftrace.sh ftrace.bconf > ftrace.sh
Or, you can apply it directly.
# bconf2ftrace.sh --apply ftrace.bconf
Note that some boot-time tracing parameters under kernel.* are not able
to set via tracefs nor procfs (e.g. tp_printk, traceoff_on_warning.),
so those are ignored.
