As dynamic events are not created by modules, if something is attached to
one, calling "try_module_get()" on its "mod" field, is not going to keep
the dynamic event from going away.
Since dynamic events do not need the "mod" pointer of the event structure,
make a union out of it in order to save memory (there's one structure for
each of the thousand+ events in the kernel), and have any event with the
DYNAMIC flag set to use a ref counter instead.

Trace events record data into the ring buffer at the time of the event. The
trace event has a printf logic to display the recorded data at a much later
time when the user reads the trace file. This makes using dereferencing
pointers unsafe if the dereferenced pointer points to the original source.
The safe way to handle this is to create an array within the trace event and
copy the source into the array. Then the dereference pointer may point to
that array.
As this is a easy mistake to make, a check is added to examine all trace
event print fmts to make sure that they are safe to use. This only checks
the various %p* dereferenced pointers like %pB, %pR, etc. It does not handle
dereferencing of strings, as there are some use cases that are OK to
dereference the source. That will be dealt with differently.

system, as they have no effect on doing anything.

- Synthetic events now have their fields parsed by semicolons.
Old formats without semicolons will still work, but new features will

- New option to allow trace events to show %p without hashing in trace file.
The trace file can only be read by root, and reading the raw event buffer
did not have any pointers hashed, so this does not expose anything new.
- New directory in tools called tools/tracing, where a new tool that reads
sequential latency reports from the ftrace latency tracers.

The ftrace event subsystem is only created for showing the format files of
events created by the ftrace tracers, and are not trace events. The ftrace
subsystem currently has both the "enable" and "filter" files that in other
subsystems are used to enable/disable all events within the subsystem or set
a filter for all the subsystem events.
As ftrace subsystem events do not use enable or filter operations, these
files are useless in the ftrace subsystem. Remove them.

The file /sys/kernel/tracing/events/enable is used to enable all events by
echoing in "1", or disabling all events when echoing in "0". To know if all
events are enabled, disabled, or some are enabled but not all of them,
cating the file should show either "1" (all enabled), "0" (all disabled), or
"X" (some enabled but not all of them). This works the same as the "enable"
files in the individule system directories (like tracing/events/sched/enable).
But when all events are enabled, the top level "enable" file shows "X". The
reason is that its checking the "ftrace" events, which are special events
that only exist for their format files. These include the format for the
function tracer events, that are enabled when the function tracer is
enabled, but not by the "enable" file. The check includes these events,
which will always be disabled, and even though all true events are enabled,
the top level "enable" file will show "X" instead of "1".
To fix this, have the check test the event's flags to see if it has the
"IGNORE_ENABLE" flag set, and if so, not test it.

The state of the interrupts (irqflags) and the preemption counter are
both passed down to tracing_generic_entry_update(). Only one bit of
irqflags is actually required: The on/off state. The complete 32bit
of the preemption counter isn't needed. Just whether of the upper bits
(softirq, hardirq and NMI) are set and the preemption depth is needed.
The irqflags and the preemption counter could be evaluated early and the
information stored in an integer `trace_ctx'.
tracing_generic_entry_update() would use the upper bits as the
TRACE_FLAG_* and the lower 8bit as the disabled-preemption depth
(considering that one must be substracted from the counter in one
special cases).
The actual preemption value is not used except for the tracing record.
The `irqflags' variable is mostly used only for the tracing record. An
exception here is for instance wakeup_tracer_call() or
probe_wakeup_sched_switch() which explicilty disable interrupts and use
that `irqflags' to save (and restore) the IRQ state and to record the
state.
Struct trace_event_buffer has also the `pc' and flags' members which can
be replaced with `trace_ctx' since their actual value is not used
outside of trace recording.
This will reduce tracing_generic_entry_update() to simply assign values
to struct trace_entry. The evaluation of the TRACE_FLAG_* bits is moved
to _tracing_gen_ctx_flags() which replaces preempt_count() and
local_save_flags() invocations.
As an example, ftrace_syscall_enter() may invoke:
- trace_buffer_lock_reserve() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
- event_trigger_unlock_commit()
-> ftrace_trace_stack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
-> ftrace_trace_userstack() -> … -> tracing_generic_entry_update()
In this case the TRACE_FLAG_* bits were evaluated three times. By using
the `trace_ctx' they are evaluated once and assigned three times.

The major update to this release is that there's a new arch config option called:
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. Currently, only x86_64 enables it.
All the ftrace callbacks now take a struct ftrace_regs instead of a struct
pt_regs. If the architecture has HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS enabled, then
the ftrace_regs will have enough information to read the arguments of the
function being traced, as well as access to the stack pointer. This way, if
a user (like live kernel patching) only cares about the arguments, then it
can avoid using the heavier weight "regs" callback, that puts in enough
information in the struct ftrace_regs to simulate a breakpoint exception
(needed for kprobes).
New config option that audits the timestamps of the ftrace ring buffer at
most every event recorded. The "check_buffer()" calls will conflict with
mainline, because I purposely added the check without including the fix that
it caught, which is in mainline. Running a kernel built from the commit of
the added check will trigger it.
Ftrace recursion protection has been cleaned up to move the protection to
the callback itself (this saves on an extra function call for those
callbacks).
Perf now handles its own RCU protection and does not depend on ftrace to do
it for it (saving on that extra function call).
New debug option to add "recursed_functions" file to tracefs that lists all
the places that triggered the recursion protection of the function tracer.
This will show where things need to be fixed as recursion slows down the
function tracer.
The eval enum mapping updates done at boot up are now offloaded to a work
queue, as it caused a noticeable pause on slow embedded boards.
Various clean ups and last minute fixes.

This removes architecture dependencies and frees up TIF bits.

In preparation to have arguments of a function passed to callbacks attached
to functions as default, change the default callback prototype to receive a
struct ftrace_regs as the forth parameter instead of a pt_regs.
For callbacks that set the FL_SAVE_REGS flag in their ftrace_ops flags, they
will now need to get the pt_regs via a ftrace_get_regs() helper call. If
this is called by a callback that their ftrace_ops did not have a
FL_SAVE_REGS flag set, it that helper function will return NULL.
This will allow the ftrace_regs to hold enough just to get the parameters
and stack pointer, but without the worry that callbacks may have a pt_regs
that is not completely filled.

notifier_from_errno(0) results in NOTIFY_OK and NOTIFY_DONE has a

On exit, if a process is preempted after the trace_sched_process_exit()
tracepoint but before the process is done exiting, then when it gets
scheduled in, the function tracers will not filter it properly against the
function tracing pid filters.
That is because the function tracing pid filters hooks to the
sched_process_exit() tracepoint to remove the exiting task's pid from the
filter list. Because the filtering happens at the sched_switch tracepoint,
when the exiting task schedules back in to finish up the exit, it will no
longer be in the function pid filtering tables.
This was noticeable in the notrace self tests on a preemptable kernel, as
the tests would fail as it exits and preempted after being taken off the
notrace filter table and on scheduling back in it would not be in the
notrace list, and then the ending of the exit function would trace. The test
detected this and would fail.

As there's two struct ring_buffers in the kernel, it causes some confusion.
The other one being the perf ring buffer. It was agreed upon that as neither
of the ring buffers are generic enough to be used globally, they should be
renamed as:
perf's ring_buffer -> perf_buffer
ftrace's ring_buffer -> trace_buffer
This implements the changes to the ring buffer that ftrace uses.

As we are working to remove the generic "ring_buffer" name that is used by
both tracing and perf, the ring_buffer name for tracing will be renamed to
trace_buffer, and perf's ring buffer will be renamed to perf_buffer.
As there already exists a trace_buffer that is used by the trace_arrays, it
needs to be first renamed to array_buffer.

We have been trying to use rasdaemon to monitor hardware errors like
correctable memory errors. rasdaemon uses trace events to monitor
various hardware errors. In order to test it, we have to inject some
hardware errors, unfortunately not all of them provide error
injections. MCE does provide a way to inject MCE errors, but errors
like PCI error and devlink error don't, it is not easy to add error
injection to each of them. Instead, it is relatively easier to just
allow users to inject trace events in a generic way so that all trace
events can be injected.
This patch introduces trace event injection, where a new 'inject' is
added to each tracepoint directory. Users could write into this file
with key=value pairs to specify the value of each fields of the trace
event, all unspecified fields are set to zero values by default.
For example, for the net/net_dev_queue tracepoint, we can inject:
INJECT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/inject
echo "" > $INJECT
echo "name='test'" > $INJECT
echo "name='test' len=1024" > $INJECT

Triggers could be triggered as usual too:
echo "stacktrace if len == 1025" > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/trigger
echo "len=1025" > $INJECT
cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

The only thing that can't be injected is string pointers as they
require constant string pointers, this can't be done at run time.

Rework event_create_dir() to use an array of static data instead of
function pointers where possible.
The problem is that it would call the function pointer on module load
before parse_args(), possibly even before jump_labels were initialized.
Luckily the generated functions don't use jump_labels but it still seems
fragile. It also gets in the way of changing when we make the module map
executable.
The generated function are basically calling trace_define_field() with a
bunch of static arguments. So instead of a function, capture these
arguments in a static array, avoiding the function call.
Now there are a number of cases where the fields are dynamic (syscall
arguments, kprobes and uprobes), in which case a static array does not
work, for these we preserve the function call. Luckily all these cases
are not related to modules and so we can retain the function call for
them.
Also fix up all broken tracepoint definitions that now generate a
compile error.

Added various checks on open tracefs calls to see if tracefs is in lockdown
mode, and if so, to return -EPERM.
Note, the event format files (which are basically standard on all machines)
as well as the enabled_functions file (which shows what is currently being
traced) are not lockde down. Perhaps they should be, but it seems counter
intuitive to lockdown information to help you know if the system has been
modified.

Currently, most files in the tracefs directory test if tracing_disabled is
set. If so, it should return -ENODEV. The tracing_disabled is called when
tracing is found to be broken. Originally it was done in case the ring
buffer was found to be corrupted, and we wanted to prevent reading it from
crashing the kernel. But it's also called if a tracing selftest fails on
boot. It's a one way switch. That is, once it is triggered, tracing is
disabled until reboot.
As most tracefs files can also be used by instances in the tracefs
directory, they need to be carefully done. Each instance has a trace_array
associated to it, and when the instance is removed, the trace_array is
freed. But if an instance is opened with a reference to the trace_array,
then it requires looking up the trace_array to get its ref counter (as there
could be a race with it being deleted and the open itself). Once it is
found, a reference is added to prevent the instance from being removed (and
the trace_array associated with it freed).
Combine the two checks (tracing_disabled and trace_array_get()) into a
single helper function. This will also make it easier to add lockdown to
tracefs later.

The trace event self tests enable loop through *all* events, enables each
one, one at a time, runs some code to trigger various events (not
necessarily the same events), and checks if anything went wrong. The issue
is that trace events are usually the least likely start up test to cause a
problem, but they take the longest to run (because there are so many
events). When one of the other tests trigger a bug, the trace event start up
tests causes the bisect to take much longer, because it takes 10s of seconds
to get through the trace event tests.
By making them a separate config (even though they are enabled by default if
start up tests are set), it is possible to turn them off and still run the
other tracing start up tests much quicker.

When reading only part of the id file, the ppos isn't tracked correctly.
This is taken care by simple_read_from_buffer.
Reading a single byte, and then the next byte would result EOF.
While this seems like not a big deal, this breaks abstractions that
reads information from files unbuffered. See for example
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29399
This code was mentioned as problematic in
commit cd458ba9d5
("tracing: Do not (ab)use trace_seq in event_id_read()")

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
if (argc < 2)
return 1;
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
char c;
read(fd, &c, 1);
printf("First %c\n", c);
read(fd, &c, 1);
printf("Second %c\n", c);
}
Then run with, e.g.
sudo ./a.out /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tcp/tcp_set_state/id
You'll notice you're getting the first character twice, instead of the
first two characters in the id file.

synthetic event is using synth_event_mutex for protecting
synth_event_list, and event_trigger_write() path acquires
locks as below order.
event_trigger_write(event_mutex)
->trigger_process_regex(trigger_cmd_mutex)
->event_hist_trigger_func(synth_event_mutex)
On the other hand, synthetic event creation and deletion paths
call trace_add_event_call() and trace_remove_event_call()
which acquires event_mutex. In that case, if we keep the
synth_event_mutex locked while registering/unregistering synthetic
events, its dependency will be inversed.
To avoid this issue, current synthetic event is using a 2 phase
process to create/delete events. For example, it searches existing
events under synth_event_mutex to check for event-name conflicts, and
unlocks synth_event_mutex, then registers a new event under event_mutex
locked. Finally, it locks synth_event_mutex and tries to add the
new event to the list. But it can introduce complexity and a chance
for name conflicts.
To solve this simpler, this introduces trace_add_event_call_nolock()
and trace_remove_event_call_nolock() which don't acquire
event_mutex inside. synthetic event can lock event_mutex before
synth_event_mutex to solve the lock dependency issue simpler.

enough to protect againts access to trace events. This use to be the case,
but now that we use SRCU for _rcuidle() trace events, they may not be
protected by synchronize_sched(), as they may be called in paths that RCU is
not watching for preempt disable.

In the future, if an ftrace internal event gets filter functionality, then

Instead of having both trace_init_tracefs() and event_trace_init() be called
by fs_initcall() routines, have event_trace_init() called directly by
trace_init_tracefs(). This will guarantee order of how the events are
created with respect to the rest of the ftrace infrastructure. This is

By adding the function __find_event_file() that can search for files without
restrictions, such as if the event associated with the file has a reg
function, or if it has the "ignore" flag set, the files that are associated
to ftrace internal events (like trace_marker and function events) can be
found and used.
find_event_file() still returns a "filtered" file, as most callers need a
valid trace event file. One created by the trace_events.h macros and not one
created for parsing ftrace specific events.

Since enums do not get converted by the TRACE_EVENT macro into their values,
the event format displaces the enum name and not the value. This breaks
tools like perf and trace-cmd that need to interpret the raw binary data. To
solve this, an enum map was created to convert these enums into their actual
numbers on boot up. This is done by TRACE_EVENTS() adding a
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro.
Some enums were not being converted. This was caused by an optization that
had a bug in it.
All calls get checked against this enum map to see if it should be converted
or not, and it compares the call's system to the system that the enum map
was created under. If they match, then they call is processed.
To cut down on the number of iterations needed to find the maps with a
matching system, since calls and maps are grouped by system, when a match is
made, the index into the map array is saved, so that the next call, if it
belongs to the same system as the previous call, could start right at that
array index and not have to scan all the previous arrays.
The problem was, the saved index was used as the variable to know if this is
a call in a new system or not. If the index was zero, it was assumed that
the call is in a new system and would keep incrementing the saved index
until it found a matching system. The issue arises when the first matching
system was at index zero. The next map, if it belonged to the same system,
would then think it was the first match and increment the index to one. If
the next call belong to the same system, it would begin its search of the
maps off by one, and miss the first enum that should be converted. This left
a single enum not converted properly.
Also add a comment to describe exactly what that index was for. It took me a
bit too long to figure out what I was thinking when debugging this issue.

Currently, when a module event is enabled, when that module is removed, it
clears all ring buffers. This is to prevent another module from being loaded
and having one of its trace event IDs from reusing a trace event ID of the
removed module. This could cause undesirable effects as the trace event of
the new module would be using its own processing algorithms to process raw
data of another event. To prevent this, when a module is loaded, if any of
its events have been used (signified by the WAS_ENABLED event call flag,
which is never cleared), all ring buffers are cleared, just in case any one
of them contains event data of the removed event.
The problem is, there's no reason to clear all ring buffers if only one (or
less than all of them) uses one of the events. Instead, only clear the ring
buffers that recorded the events of a module that is being removed.
To do this, instead of keeping the WAS_ENABLED flag with the trace event
call, move it to the per instance (per ring buffer) event file descriptor.
The event file descriptor maps each event to a separate ring buffer
instance. Then when the module is removed, only the ring buffers that
activated one of the module's events get cleared. The rest are not touched.

With the redesign of the registration and execution of the function probes
(triggers), data can now be passed from the setup of the probe to the probe
callers that are specific to the trace_array it is on. Although, all probes
still only affect the toplevel trace array, this change will allow for
instances to have their own probes separated from other instances and the
top array.
That is, something like the stacktrace probe can be set to trace only in an
instance and not the toplevel trace array. This isn't implement yet, but
this change sets the ground work for the change.
When a probe callback is triggered (someone writes the probe format into
set_ftrace_filter), it calls register_ftrace_function_probe() passing in
init_data that will be used to initialize the probe. Then for every matching
function, register_ftrace_function_probe() will call the probe_ops->init()
function with the init data that was passed to it, as well as an address to
a place holder that is associated with the probe and the instance. The first
occurrence will have a NULL in the pointer. The init() function will then
initialize it. If other probes are added, or more functions are part of the
probe, the place holder will be passed to the init() function with the place
holder data that it was initialized to the last time.
Then this place_holder is passed to each of the other probe_ops functions,
where it can be used in the function callback. When the probe_ops free()
function is called, it can be called either with the rip of the function
that is being removed from the probe, or zero, indicating that there are no
more functions attached to the probe, and the place holder is about to be
freed. This gives the probe_ops a way to free the data it assigned to the
place holder if it was allocade during the first init call.

In order to eventually have each trace_array instance have its own unique
set of function probes (triggers), the trace array needs to hold the ops and
the filters for the probes.
This is the first step to accomplish this. Instead of having the private

the trace_array holds. There's only one private_data for a probe, we need
one per trace_array. The probe ftrace_ops will be dynamically created for

Filtering of events requires the data to be written to the ring buffer
before it can be decided to filter or not. This is because the parameters of
the filter are based on the result that is written to the ring buffer and
not on the parameters that are passed into the trace functions.
The ftrace ring buffer is optimized for writing into the ring buffer and
committing. The discard procedure used when filtering decides the event
should be discarded is much more heavy weight. Thus, using a temporary
filter when filtering events can speed things up drastically.
Without a temp buffer we have:
# trace-cmd start -p nop
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
0.790706626 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.71% )
# trace-cmd start -e all
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.566904059 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.27% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.690598511 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.19% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.707486364 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.30% )
The first run above is without any tracing, just to get a based figure.
hackbench takes ~0.79 seconds to run on the system.
The second run enables tracing all events where nothing is filtered. This
increases the time by 100% and hackbench takes 1.57 seconds to run.
The third run filters all events where the preempt count will equal "20"
(this should never happen) thus all events are discarded. This takes 1.69
seconds to run. This is 10% slower than just committing the events!
The last run enables all events and filters where the filter will commit all
events, and this takes 1.70 seconds to run. The filtering overhead is
approximately 10%. Thus, the discard and commit of an event from the ring
buffer may be about the same time.
With this patch, the numbers change:
# trace-cmd start -p nop
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
0.778233033 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.38% )
# trace-cmd start -e all
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.582102692 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.28% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count==20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.309230710 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.22% )
# trace-cmd start -e all -f 'common_preempt_count!=20'
# perf stat -r 10 hackbench 50
1.786001924 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.20% )
The first run is again the base with no tracing.
The second run is all tracing with no filtering. It is a little slower, but
that may be well within the noise.
The third run shows that discarding all events only took 1.3 seconds. This
is a speed up of 23%! The discard is much faster than even the commit.
The one downside is shown in the last run. Events that are not discarded by
the filter will take longer to add, this is due to the extra copy of the
event.

Triggers for events that don't support register through
debug fs (events under events/ftrace are for trace-cmd to
read event format, and most of them don't have a register
function except events/ftrace/functionx) can't be enabled
at all, and an oops will be hit when setting up trigger
for those events, so just not creating them is an easy way
to avoid the oops.

'hist' triggers allow users to continually aggregate trace events,
which can then be viewed afterwards by simply reading a 'hist' file
containing the aggregation in a human-readable format.
The basic idea is very simple and boils down to a mechanism whereby
trace events, rather than being exhaustively dumped in raw form and
viewed directly, are automatically 'compressed' into meaningful tables
completely defined by the user.
This is done strictly via single-line command-line commands and
without the aid of any kind of programming language or interpreter.
A surprising number of typical use cases can be accomplished by users
via this simple mechanism. In fact, a large number of the tasks that
users typically do using the more complicated script-based tracing
tools, at least during the initial stages of an investigation, can be
accomplished by simply specifying a set of keys and values to be used
in the creation of a hash table.
The Linux kernel trace event subsystem happens to provide an extensive
list of keys and values ready-made for such a purpose in the form of
the event format files associated with each trace event. By simply
consulting the format file for field names of interest and by plugging
them into the hist trigger command, users can create an endless number
of useful aggregations to help with investigating various properties
of the system. See Documentation/trace/events.txt for examples.
hist triggers are implemented on top of the existing event trigger
infrastructure, and as such are consistent with the existing triggers
from a user's perspective as well.
The basic syntax follows the existing trigger syntax. Users start an
aggregation by writing a 'hist' trigger to the event of interest's
trigger file:
# echo hist:keys=xxx [ if filter] > event/trigger
Once a hist trigger has been set up, by default it continually
aggregates every matching event into a hash table using the event key
and a value field named 'hitcount'.
To view the aggregation at any point in time, simply read the 'hist'
file in the same directory as the 'trigger' file:
# cat event/hist
The detailed syntax provides additional options for user control, and
is described exhaustively in Documentation/trace/events.txt and in the
virtual tracing/README file in the tracing subsystem.

Add the infrastructure needed to have the PIDs in set_event_pid to
automatically add PIDs of the children of the tasks that have their PIDs in
set_event_pid. This will also remove PIDs from set_event_pid when a task
exits
This is implemented by adding hooks into the fork and exit tracepoints. On
fork, the PIDs are added to the list, and on exit, they are removed.
Add a new option called event_fork that when set, PIDs in set_event_pid will
automatically get their children PIDs added when they fork, as well as any
task that exits will have its PID removed from set_event_pid.
This works for instances as well.

In order to add the ability to let tasks that are filtered by the events
have their children also be traced on fork (and then not traced on exit),
convert the array into a pid bitmask. Most of the time the number of pids is
only 32768 pids or a 4k bitmask, which is the same size as the default list
currently is, and that list could grow if more pids are listed.
This also greatly simplifies the code.

The name "check_ignore_pid" is confusing in trying to figure out if the pid
should be ignored or not. Rename it to "ignore_this_task" which is pretty
straight forward, as a task (not a pid) is passed in, and should if true
should be ignored.

during bpf program loading remember the last byte of ctx access
and at the time of attaching the program to tracepoint check that
the program doesn't access bytes beyond defined in tracepoint fields
This also disallows access to __dynamic_array fields, but can be
relaxed in the future.

Commit 9f61668073 "tracing: Allow triggers to filter for CPU ids and
process names" added a 'comm' filter that will filter events based on the
current tasks struct 'comm'. But this now hides the ability to filter events
that have a 'comm' field too. For example, sched_migrate_task trace event.
That has a 'comm' field of the task to be migrated.
echo 'comm == "bash"' > events/sched_migrate_task/filter
will now filter all sched_migrate_task events for tasks named "bash" that
migrates other tasks (in interrupt context), instead of seeing when "bash"
itself gets migrated.
This fix requires a couple of changes.
1) Change the look up order for filter predicates to look at the events
fields before looking at the generic filters.
2) Instead of basing the filter function off of the "comm" name, have the
generic "comm" filter have its own filter_type (FILTER_COMM). Test
against the type instead of the name to assign the filter function.
3) Add a new "COMM" filter that works just like "comm" but will filter based
on the current task, even if the trace event contains a "comm" field.
Do the same for "cpu" field, adding a FILTER_CPU and a filter "CPU".

The ftrace:function event is only displayed for parsing the function tracer
data. It is not used to enable function tracing, and does not include an
"enable" file in its event directory.
Originally, this event was kept separate from other events because it did
not have a ->reg parameter. But perf added a "reg" parameter for its use
which caused issues, because it made the event available to functions where
it was not compatible for.
Commit 9b63776fa3 "tracing: Do not enable function event with enable"
added a TRACE_EVENT_FL_IGNORE_ENABLE flag that prevented the function event
from being enabled by normal trace events. But this commit missed keeping
the function event from being displayed by the "available_events" directory,
which is used to show what events can be enabled by set_event.
One documented way to enable all events is to:
cat available_events > set_event
But because the function event is displayed in the available_events, this
now causes an INVALID error:
cat: write error: Invalid argument

The set_event_pid filter relies on attaching to the sched_switch and
sched_wakeup tracepoints to see if it should filter the tracing on schedule
tracepoints. By adding the callbacks to sched_wakeup, pids in the
set_event_pid file will trace the wakeups of those tasks with those pids.
But sched_wakeup_new and sched_waking were missed. These two should also be
traced. Luckily, these tracepoints share the same class as sched_wakeup
which means they can use the same pre and post callbacks as sched_wakeup
does.

stable tags to them. I searched through my INBOX just as the merge window
opened and found lots of patches to pull. I ran them through all my tests
and they were in linux-next for a few days.
Features added this release:
----------------------------
o Module globbing. You can now filter function tracing to several
modules. # echo '*:mod:*snd*' > set_ftrace_filter (Dmitry Safonov)
o Tracer specific options are now visible even when the tracer is not
active. It was rather annoying that you can only see and modify tracer
options after enabling the tracer. Now they are in the options/ directory
even when the tracer is not active. Although they are still only visible
when the tracer is active in the trace_options file.
o Trace options are now per instance (although some of the tracer specific
options are global)
o New tracefs file: set_event_pid. If any pid is added to this file, then
all events in the instance will filter out events that are not part of
this pid. sched_switch and sched_wakeup events handle next and the wakee
pids.

Both early_enable_events() and apply_trace_boot_options() parse a boot
string that may get parsed later on. They both use strsep() which converts a
comma into a nul character. To still allow the boot string to be parsed
again the same way, the nul character gets converted back to a comma after
the token is processed.
The problem is that these two functions check for an empty parameter (two
commas in a row ",,"), and continue the loop if the parameter is empty, but
fails to place the comma back. In this case, the second parsing will end at
this blank field, and not process fields afterward.
In most cases, users should not have an empty field, but if its going to be
checked, the code might as well be correct.

For the case where pids are already in set_event_pid, and one is added or
removed then each CPU should be checked to make sure that the new or old pid
is on or not on a CPU.
For example:
# echo 123 >> set_event_pid
or
# echo '!123' >> set_event_pid
