As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot. As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig" is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel command line is extended. Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config, and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this if the boot config is asked to be looked for. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wjfjO+h6bQzrTf=YCZA53Y3EDyAs3Z4gEsT7icA3u_Psw@mail.gmail.com Acked-by:

The dynevent_cmd commands that build up the command string don't need to do that themselves - there's a seq_buf facility that does pretty much the same thing those command are doing manually, so use it instead.

It's kind of strange to have check_arg() callbacks as part of the arg objects themselves; it makes more sense to just pass these in when the args are added instead. Remove the check_arg() callbacks from those objects which also means removing the check_arg() args from the init functions, adding them to the add functions and fixing up existing callers.

The patch 'tracing: Fix histogram code when expression has same var as value' added code to return an existing variable reference when creating a new variable reference, which resulted in var_ref_vals slots being reused instead of being duplicated. The implementation of the trace action assumes that the end of the var_ref_vals array starting at action_data.var_ref_idx corresponds to the values that will be assigned to the trace params. The patch mentioned above invalidates that assumption, which means that each param needs to explicitly specify its index into var_ref_vals. This fix changes action_data.var_ref_idx to an array of var ref indexes to account for that.

Add an interface used to build up dynamic event creation commands, such as synthetic and kprobe events. Interfaces specific to those particular types of events and others can be built on top of this interface. Command creation is started by first using the dynevent_cmd_init() function to initialize the dynevent_cmd object. Following that, args are appended and optionally checked by the dynevent_arg_add() and dynevent_arg_pair_add() functions, which use objects representing arguments and pairs of arguments, initialized respectively by dynevent_arg_init() and dynevent_arg_pair_init(). Finally, once all args have been successfully added, the command is finalized and actually created using dynevent_create(). The code here for actually printing into the dyn_event->cmd buffer using snprintf() etc was adapted from v4 of Masami's 'tracing/boot: Add synthetic event support' patch.

In the process of adding better error messages for sorting, I realized that strsep was being used incorrectly and some of the error paths I was expecting to be hit weren't and just fell through to the common invalid key error case. It also became obvious that for keyword assignments, it wasn't necessary to save the full assignment and reparse it later, and having a common empty-assignment check would also make more sense in terms of error processing. Change the code to fix these problems and simplify it for new error message changes in a subsequent patch.

As warnings can trigger panics, especially when "panic_on_warn" is set, memory failure warnings can cause panics and fail fuzz testers that are stressing memory.

The trace_array_get_by_name() creates a ftrace instance and trace_array_put() is used to remove the reference. Even though the trace_array_get_by_name() creates the instance, it also adds a reference count to it, that prevents user space from removing it. As the bootconfig just creates the instance on boot up, it should still be used where it can be deleted by user space after boot. A trace_array_put() is required to let that happen. Also, change the documentation on trace_array_get_by_name() to make this not be so confusing.

I noticed when trying to use the trace-cmd python interface that reading the raw buffer wasn't working for kernel_stack events. This is because it uses a stubbed version of __dynamic_array that doesn't do the __data_loc trick and encode the length of the array into the field. Instead it just shows up as a size of 0. So change this to __array and set the len to FTRACE_STACK_ENTRIES since this is what we actually do in practice and matches how user_stack_trace works.

Looking through old emails in my INBOX, I came across a patch from Luis Henriques that attempted to fix a race of two stat tracers registering the same stat trace (extremely unlikely, as this is done in the kernel, and probably doesn't even exist). The submitted patch wasn't quite right as it needed to deal with clean up a bit better (if two stat tracers were the same, it would have the same files). But to make the code cleaner, all we needed to do is to keep the all_stat_sessions_mutex held for most of the registering function.
