tracepoint: Optimize using static_call()

Currently the tracepoint site will iterate a vector and issue indirect
calls to however many handlers are registered (ie. the vector is
long).

Using static_call() it is possible to optimize this for the common
case of only having a single handler registered. In this case the
static_call() can directly call this handler. Otherwise, if the vector
is longer than 1, call a function that iterates the whole vector like
the current code.

bpf: introduce BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT

Introduce BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT bpf program type to access
kernel internal arguments of the tracepoints in their raw form.

>From bpf program point of view the access to the arguments look like:
struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args {
__u64 args[0];
};

int bpf_prog(struct bpf_raw_tracepoint_args *ctx)
{
// program can read args[N] where N depends on tracepoint
// and statically verified at program load+attach time
}

kprobe+bpf infrastructure allows programs access function arguments.
This feature allows programs access raw tracepoint arguments.

Similar to proposed 'dynamic ftrace events' there are no abi guarantees
to what the tracepoints arguments are and what their meaning is.
The program needs to type cast args properly and use bpf_probe_read()
helper to access struct fields when argument is a pointer.

For every tracepoint __bpf_trace_##call function is prepared.
In assembler it looks like:
(gdb) disassemble __bpf_trace_xdp_exception
Dump of assembler code for function __bpf_trace_xdp_exception:
0xffffffff81132080 <+0>: mov %ecx,%ecx
0xffffffff81132082 <+2>: jmpq 0xffffffff811231f0 <bpf_trace_run3>

where

TRACE_EVENT(xdp_exception,
TP_PROTO(const struct net_device *dev,
const struct bpf_prog *xdp, u32 act),

The above assembler snippet is casting 32-bit 'act' field into 'u64'
to pass into bpf_trace_run3(), while 'dev' and 'xdp' args are passed as-is.
All of ~500 of __bpf_trace_*() functions are only 5-10 byte long
and in total this approach adds 7k bytes to .text.

This approach gives the lowest possible overhead
while calling trace_xdp_exception() from kernel C code and
transitioning into bpf land.
Since tracepoint+bpf are used at speeds of 1M+ events per second
this is valuable optimization.

The new BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN sys_bpf command is introduced
that returns anon_inode FD of 'bpf-raw-tracepoint' object.

The user space looks like:
// load bpf prog with BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT type
prog_fd = bpf_prog_load(...);
// receive anon_inode fd for given bpf_raw_tracepoint with prog attached
raw_tp_fd = bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd);

Ctrl-C of tracing daemon or cmdline tool that uses this feature
will automatically detach bpf program, unload it and
unregister tracepoint probe.

On the kernel side the __bpf_raw_tp_map section of pointers to
tracepoint definition and to __bpf_trace_*() probe function is used
to find a tracepoint with "xdp_exception" name and
corresponding __bpf_trace_xdp_exception() probe function
which are passed to tracepoint_probe_register() to connect probe
with tracepoint.

Addition of bpf_raw_tracepoint doesn't interfere with ftrace and perf
tracepoint mechanisms. perf_event_open() can be used in parallel
on the same tracepoint.
Multiple bpf_raw_tracepoint_open("xdp_exception", prog_fd) are permitted.
Each with its own bpf program. The kernel will execute
all tracepoint probes and all attached bpf programs.

In the future bpf_raw_tracepoints can be extended with
query/introspection logic.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

tracing: Add DEFINE_EVENT_FN() macro

Each TRACE_EVENT() adds several helper functions. If two or more trace events
share the same structure and print format, they can also share most of these
helper functions and save a lot of space from duplicate code. This is why the
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() were created.

Some events require a trigger to be called at registering and unregistering of
the event and to do so they use TRACE_EVENT_FN().

If multiple events require a trigger, they currently have no choice but to use
TRACE_EVENT_FN() as there's no DEFINE_EVENT_FN() available. This unfortunately
causes a lot of wasted duplicate code created.

By adding a DEFINE_EVENT_FN(), these events can still use a
DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and then define their own triggers.

tracing: Add TRACE_EVENT_CONDITIONAL()

There are instances in the kernel that we only want to trace
a tracepoint when a certain condition is set. But we do not
want to test for that condition in the core kernel.
If we test for that condition before calling the tracepoin, then
we will be performing that test even when tracing is not enabled.
This is 99.99% of the time.

We currently can just filter out on that condition, but that happens
after we write to the trace buffer. We just wasted time writing to
the ring buffer for an event we never cared about.

This patch adds:

TRACE_EVENT_CONDITION() and DEFINE_EVENT_CONDITION()

These have a new TP_CONDITION() argument that comes right after
the TP_ARGS(). This condition can use the parameters of TP_ARGS()
in the TRACE_EVENT() to determine if the tracepoint should be traced
or not. The TP_CONDITION() will be placed in a if (cond) trace;

For example, for the tracepoint sched_wakeup, it is useless to
trace a wakeup event where the caller never actually wakes
anything up (where success == 0). So adding:

TP_CONDITION(success),

which uses the "success" parameter of the wakeup tracepoint
will have it only trace when we have successfully woken up a
task.

tracing: Fix tracepoint.h DECLARE_TRACE() to allow more than one header

When more than one header is included under CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
the DECLARE_TRACE() macro is not defined back to its original meaning
and the second include will fail to initialize the TRACE_EVENT()
and DECLARE_TRACE() correctly.

To fix this the tracepoint.h file moves the define of DECLARE_TRACE()
out of the #ifdef _LINUX_TRACEPOINT_H protection (just like the
define of the TRACE_EVENT()). This way the define_trace.h will undef
the DECLARE_TRACE() at the end and allow new headers to start
from scratch.

This patch also requires fixing the include/events/napi.h

It currently uses DECLARE_TRACE() and should be converted to a TRACE_EVENT()
format. But I'll leave that change to the authors of that file.
But since the napi.h file depends on using the CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
and does not define its own DEFINE_TRACE() it must use the define_trace.h
method instead.

To clarify this, rename it to DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS, which follows

DEFINE_EVENT(class, event1)
DEFINE_EVENT(class, event2)

tracing: Create new DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT

After creating the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE I started to look at other
trace points to see what duplication was made. I noticed that there
are several trace points where they are almost identical except for
the name and the output format. Since TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE was successful
in bringing down the size of trace events, I added a DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.

DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT is used just like DEFINE_EVENT is. That is, the
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT also uses a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE, but it allows the
developer to overwrite the print format. If there are two or more
TRACE_EVENTS that are identical except for the name and print, then
they can be converted to use a TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE. Since the
TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE already does the print output, the first trace event
would have its print format held in the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE and
be defined with a DEFINE_EVENT. The rest will use the DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT
and override the print format.

Converting the sched trace points to both DEFINE_EVENT and
DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT. Five were converted to DEFINE_EVENT and two were
converted to DEFINE_EVENT_PRINT.

I was able to get the following:

$ size kernel/sched.o-*

tracing: Create new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE

There are some places in the kernel that define several tracepoints and
they are all identical besides the name. The code to enable, disable and
record is created for every trace point even if most of the code is
identical.

This patch adds TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE that lets the developer create
a template TRACE_EVENT and create trace points with DEFINE_EVENT, which
is based off of a given template. Each trace point used by this
will share most of the code, and bring down the size of the kernel
when there are several duplicate events.

Usage is:

TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE(name, proto, args, tstruct, assign, print);

Which would be the same as defining a normal TRACE_EVENT.

To create the trace events that the trace points will use:

DEFINE_EVENT(template, name, proto, args) is done. The template
is the name of the TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE to use. The name is the
name of the trace point. The parameters proto and args must be the same
as the proto and args of the template. If they are not the same,
then a compile error will result. I tried hard removing this duplication
but the C preprocessor is not powerful enough (or my CPP magic
experience points is not at a high enough level) to not need them.

A lot of trace events are coming in with new XFS development. Most of
the trace points are identical except for the name. The following shows
the advantage of having TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE:

$ size fs/xfs/xfs.o.*
text data bss dec hex filename
452114 2788 3520 458422 6feb6 fs/xfs/xfs.o.old

996954 38116 4480 1039550 fdcbe fs/xfs/xfs.o.trace

xfs.o.old is without any tracepoints.
xfs.o.template uses the new TRACE_EVENT_TEMPLATE.
xfs.o.trace uses the current TRACE_EVENT macros.

Both define TRACE_EVENT in trace_a.h and trace_b.h, if we include
those in .c file, like this:

#define CREATE_TRACE_POINTS
include <trace/events/trace_a.h>
include <trace/events/trace_b.h>

The above will not work, because the TRACE_EVENT was re-defined by
the previous .h file.

tracing: Move tracepoint callbacks from declaration to definition

It's not strictly correct for the tracepoint reg/unreg callbacks to
occur when a client is hooking up, because the actual tracepoint may not
be present yet. This happens to be fine for syscall, since that's in
the core kernel, but it would cause problems for tracepoints defined in
a module that hasn't been loaded yet. It also means the reg/unreg has
to be EXPORTed for any modules to use the tracepoint (as in SystemTap).

This patch removes DECLARE_TRACE_WITH_CALLBACK, and instead introduces
DEFINE_TRACE_FN which stores the callbacks in struct tracepoint. The
callbacks are used now when the active state of the tracepoint changes
in set_tracepoint & disable_tracepoint.

This also introduces TRACE_EVENT_FN, so ftrace events can also provide
registration callbacks if needed.

tracing: fix cut and paste macro error

In case a module uses the TRACE_EVENT macro for creating automated
events in ftrace, it may choose to use a different file name
than the defined system name, or choose to use a different path than
the default "include/trace/events" include path.

If this is done, then before including trace/define_trace.h the
header would define either "TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE" for the file
name or "TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH" for the include path.

If it does not define these, then the define_trace.h defines them
instead. If define trace defines them, then define_trace.h should
also undefine them before exiting. To do this a macro is used
to note this:

#ifndef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
# define TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE TRACE_SYSTEM
# define UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
#endif

[...]

#ifdef UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
# undef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
# undef UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE
#endif

The UNDEF_TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE acts as a CPP variable to know to undef
the TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE before leaving define_trace.h.

Unfortunately, due to cut and paste errors, the macros between
FILE and PATH got mixed up.

[ Impact: undef TRACE_INCLUDE_FILE and/or TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH when needed ]

tracing/events: enable code with EVENT_TRACING not EVENT_TRACER

The CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER is the way to turn on event tracing when no
other tracing has been configured. All code to get enabled should
depend on CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING. That is what is enabled when TRACING
(or CONFIG_EVENT_TRACER) is selected.

This patch enables the include/trace/ftrace.h file when
CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING is enabled.

This patch moves the ftrace creation into include/trace/ftrace.h and
simplifies the work of developers in adding new tracepoints.
Just the act of creating the trace points in include/trace and including
define_trace.h will create the events in the debugfs/tracing/events
directory.
