Check we have enough mmaped space to read the current event
size from its headers, otherwise we may dereference some
hell there.

Some architectures such as Alpha do not define _sdata but _data:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `core_kernel_data':
kernel/extable.c:77: undefined reference to `_sdata'
So expand the scope of the data range to the text addresses too,
this might be more correct anyway because this way we can
cover readonly variables as well.

Since users of the function tracer can now pick and choose which
functions they want to trace agnostically from other users of the
function tracer, we need to pass the ops struct to the ftrace_set_filter()
functions.
The functions ftrace_set_global_filter() and ftrace_set_global_notrace()
is added to keep the old filter functions which are used to modify
the generic function tracers.

Now that functions may be selected individually, it only makes sense
that we should allow dynamically allocated trace structures to
be traced. This will allow perf to allocate a ftrace_ops structure
at runtime and use it to pick and choose which functions that
structure will trace.
Note, a dynamically allocated ftrace_ops will always be called
indirectly instead of being called directly from the mcount in
entry.S. This is because there's no safe way to prevent mcount
from being preempted before calling the function, unless we
modify every entry.S to do so (not likely). Thus, dynamically allocated
functions will now be called by the ftrace_ops_list_func() that
loops through the ops that are allocated if there are more than
one op allocated at a time. This loop is protected with a
preempt_disable.
To determine if an ftrace_ops structure is allocated or not, a new
util function was added to the kernel/extable.c called
core_kernel_data(), which returns 1 if the address is between
_sdata and _edata.

ftrace_ops that are registered to trace functions can now be
agnostic to each other in respect to what functions they trace.
Each ops has their own hash of the functions they want to trace
and a hash to what they do not want to trace. A empty hash for
the functions they want to trace denotes all functions should
be traced that are not in the notrace hash.

When a hash is modified and might be in use, we need to perform
a schedule RCU operation on it, as the hashes will soon be used
directly in the function tracer callback.

This is a step towards each ops structure defining its own set
of functions to trace. As the current code with pid's and such
are specific to the global_ops, it is restructured to be used
with the global ops.

Add the enabled_functions file that is used to show all the
functions that have been enabled for tracing as well as their
ref counts. This helps seeing if any function has been registered
and what functions are being traced.

Every function has its own record that stores the instruction
pointer and flags for the function to be traced. There are only
two flags: enabled and free. The enabled flag states that tracing
for the function has been enabled (actively traced), and the free
flag states that the record no longer points to a function and can
be used by new functions (loaded modules).
These flags are now moved to the MSB of the flags (actually just
the top 32bits). The rest of the bits (30 bits) are now used as
a ref counter. Everytime a tracer register functions to trace,
those functions will have its counter incremented.
When tracing is enabled, to determine if a function should be traced,
the counter is examined, and if it is non-zero it is set to trace.
When a ftrace_ops is registered to trace functions, its hashes
are examined. If the ftrace_ops filter_hash count is zero, then
all functions are set to be traced, otherwise only the functions
in the hash are to be traced. The exception to this is if a function
is also in the ftrace_ops notrace_hash. Then that function's counter
is not incremented for this ftrace_ops.

When filtering, allocate a hash to insert the function records.
After the filtering is complete, assign it to the ftrace_ops structure.
This allows the ftrace_ops structure to have a much smaller array of
hash buckets instead of wasting a lot of memory.
A read only empty_hash is created to be the minimum size that any ftrace_ops
can point to.
When a new hash is created, it has the following steps:
o Allocate a default hash.
o Walk the function records assigning the filtered records to the hash
o Allocate a new hash with the appropriate size buckets
o Move the entries from the default hash to the new hash.

Combine the filter and notrace hashes to be accessed by a single entity,
the global_ops. The global_ops is a ftrace_ops structure that is passed
to different functions that can read or modify the filtering of the
function tracer.
The ftrace_ops structure was modified to hold a filter and notrace
hashes so that later patches may allow each ftrace_ops to have its own
set of rules to what functions may be filtered.

When multiple users are allowed to have their own set of functions
to trace, having the FTRACE_FL_FILTER flag will not be enough to
handle the accounting of those users. Each user will need their own
set of functions.
Replace the FTRACE_FL_FILTER with a filter_hash instead. This is
temporary until the rest of the function filtering accounting
gets in.

To prepare for the accounting system that will allow multiple users of
the function tracer, having the FTRACE_FL_NOTRACE as a flag in the
dyn_trace record does not make sense.
All ftrace_ops will soon have a hash of functions they should trace
and not trace. By making a global hash of functions not to trace makes
this easier for the transition.

As reported in BZ #30352:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30352
there's a kernel bug related to reading the last allowed page on x86_64.
The _copy_to_user() and _copy_from_user() functions use the following
check for address limit:
if (buf + size >= limit)
fail();
while it should be more permissive:
if (buf + size > limit)
fail();
That's because the size represents the number of bytes being
read/write from/to buf address AND including the buf address.
So the copy function will actually never touch the limit
address even if "buf + size == limit".
Following program fails to use the last page as buffer
due to the wrong limit check:
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <assert.h>
#define PAGE_SIZE (4096)
#define LAST_PAGE ((void*)(0x7fffffffe000))
int main()
{
int fds[2], err;
void * ptr = mmap(LAST_PAGE, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
assert(ptr == LAST_PAGE);
err = socketpair(AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0, fds);
assert(err == 0);
err = send(fds[0], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, 0);
perror("send");
assert(err == PAGE_SIZE);
err = recv(fds[1], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, MSG_WAITALL);
perror("recv");
assert(err == PAGE_SIZE);
return 0;
}
The other place checking the addr limit is the access_ok() function,
which is working properly. There's just a misleading comment
for the __range_not_ok() macro - which this patch fixes as well.
The last page of the user-space address range is a guard page and
Brian Gerst observed that the guard page itself due to an erratum on K8 cpus
(#121 Sequential Execution Across Non-Canonical Boundary Causes Processor
Hang).
However, the test code is using the last valid page before the guard page.
The bug is that the last byte before the guard page can't be read
because of the off-by-one error. The guard page is left in place.
This bug would normally not show up because the last page is
part of the process stack and never accessed via syscalls.

Some string operation functions may be patched twice, e.g. on enhanced REP MOVSB
/STOSB processors, memcpy is patched first by fast string alternative function,
then it is patched by enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB alternative function.
Add comment for applying alternatives order to warn people who may change the
applying alternatives order for any reason.

If kernel intends to use enhanced REP MOVSB/STOSB, it must ensure
IA32_MISC_ENABLE.Fast_String_Enable (bit 0) is set and CPUID.(EAX=07H, ECX=0H):
EBX[bit 9] also reports 1.

Intel processors are adding enhancements to REP MOVSB/STOSB and the use of
REP MOVSB/STOSB for optimal memcpy/memset or similar functions is recommended.
Enhancement availability is indicated by CPUID.7.0.EBX[9] (Enhanced REP MOVSB/
STOSB).

CPUID leaf 7, subleaf 0 returns the maximum subleaf in EAX, not the
number of subleaves. Since so far only subleaf 0 is defined (and only
the EBX bitfield) we do not need to qualify the test.

Introduce mcount_adjust{,_32,_64} to the C implementation of
recordmcount analog to $mcount_adjust in the perl script.
The adjustment is added to the address of the relocations
against the mcount symbol. If this adjustment is done by
recordmcount at compile time the ftrace_call_adjust function
can be turned into a nop.

The code to get the symbol, string, and relp pointers in the two functions
sift_rel_mcount() and nop_mcount() are identical and also non-trivial.
Moving this duplicate code into a single helper function makes the code
easier to read and more maintainable.

The section called .discard.text has tracing attached to it and is
currently ignored by ftrace. But it does include a call to the mcount
stub. Adding a notrace to the code keeps gcc from adding the useless
mcount caller to it.

The init and exit sections should not be traced and adding a call to
mcount to them is a waste of text and instruction cache. Have the
macro section attributes include notrace to ignore these functions
for tracing from the build.

When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into
a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now
if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then
the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just
waste execution time.

There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have
modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling
mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to
either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully.
This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section
that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on
by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely
ignored or added to the whitelist.

There are sections that are ignored by ftrace for the function tracing because
the text is in a section that can be removed without notice. The mcount calls
in these sections are ignored and ftrace never sees them. The downside of this
is that the functions in these sections still call mcount. Although the mcount
function is defined in assembly simply as a return, this added overhead is
unnecessary.
The solution is to convert these callers into nops at compile time.
A better solution is to add 'notrace' to the section markers, but as new sections
come up all the time, it would be nice that they are delt with when they
are created.
Later patches will deal with finding these sections and doing the proper solution.
Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for giving me the right nops to use for x86.

The .kprobe.text section is safe to modify mcount to nop and tracing.
Add it to the whitelist in recordmcount.c and recordmcount.pl.

The Linux ftrace subsystem style for comparing is:
var == 1
var > 0
and not:
1 == var
0 < var
It is considered that Linux developers are smart enough not to do the
if (var = 1)
mistake.

perf stat: Fail more clearly when an invalid modifier is specified
This patch fixes this while preserving the desired effect:
$ perf stat -e instructions:u,instructions:k ls /dev/null /dev/null
Performance counter stats for 'ls /dev/null':
365956 instructions:u # 0.00 insns per cycle
731806 instructions:k # 0.00 insns per cycle
0.001108862 seconds time elapsed
$ perf stat -e task-clock-msecs true
invalid event modifier: '-msecs'
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events and modifiers
