Tracing updates for 5.12
- Update to the way irqs and preemption is tracked via the trace event PC field
- Fix handling of unregistering event failing due to allocate memory.
This is only triggered by failure injection, as it is pretty much guaranteed
to have less than a page allocation succeed.
- Do not show the useless "filter" or "enable" files for the "ftrace" trace
system, as they have no effect on doing anything.
- Add a warning if kprobes are registered more than once.
- Synthetic events now have their fields parsed by semicolons.
Old formats without semicolons will still work, but new features will
require them.
- 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.
- Other minor fixes and cleanups.
kprobes: Fix to delay the kprobes jump optimization
Commit 36dadef23fcc ("kprobes: Init kprobes in early_initcall")
moved the kprobe setup in early_initcall(), which includes kprobe
jump optimization.
The kprobes jump optimizer involves synchronize_rcu_tasks() which
depends on the ksoftirqd and rcu_spawn_tasks_*(). However, since
those are setup in core_initcall(), kprobes jump optimizer can not
run at the early_initcall().
To avoid this issue, make the kprobe optimization disabled in the
early_initcall() and enables it in subsys_initcall().
Note that non-optimized kprobes is still available after
early_initcall(). Only jump optimization is delayed.
