Starting with GCC 9, -Warray-bounds detects cases when memset is called
starting on a member of a struct but the size to be cleared ends up
writing over further members.
Such a call happens in the trace code to clear, at once, all members
after and including `seq` on struct trace_iterator:
In function 'memset',
inlined from 'ftrace_dump' at kernel/trace/trace.c:8914:3:
./include/linux/string.h:344:9: warning: '__builtin_memset' offset
[8505, 8560] from the object at 'iter' is out of the bounds of
referenced subobject 'seq' with type 'struct trace_seq' at offset
4368 [-Warray-bounds]
344 | return __builtin_memset(p, c, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to avoid GCC complaining about it, we compute the address
ourselves by adding the offsetof distance instead of referring
directly to the member.
Since there are two places doing this clear (trace.c and trace_kdb.c),
take the chance to move the workaround into a single place in
the internal header.

The 'ftdump' command in kdb is currently a bit of a last resort, at
least if you have lots of traces turned on. It's going to print a
whole boatload of data out your serial port which is probably running
at 115200. This could easily take many, many minutes.
Usually you're most interested in what's at the _end_ of the ftrace
buffer, AKA what happened most recently. That means you've got to
wait the full time for the dump. The 'ftdump' command does attempt to
help you a little bit by allowing you to skip a fixed number of
entries. Unfortunately it provides no way for you to know how many
entries you should skip.
Let's do similar to python and allow you to use a negative number to
indicate that you want to skip all entries except the last few. This
allows you to quickly see what you want.
Note that we also change the printout in ftdump to print the
(positive) number of entries actually skipped since that could be
helpful to know when you've specified a negative skip count.

The things skipped by kdb's "ftdump" command when you pass it a
parameter has always been entries, not lines. The difference usually
doesn't matter but when the trace buffer has multi-line entries (like
a stack dump) it can matter.
Let's fix this both in the help text for ftdump and also in the local
variable names.

As reported back in 2016-11 [1], the "ftdump" kdb command triggers a
BUG for "sleeping function called from invalid context".
kdb's "ftdump" command wants to call ring_buffer_read_prepare() in
atomic context. A very simple solution for this is to add allocation
flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare() so kdb can call it without
triggering the allocation error. This patch does that.
Note that in the original email thread about this, it was suggested
that perhaps the solution for kdb was to either preallocate the buffer
ahead of time or create our own iterator. I'm hoping that this
alternative of adding allocation flags to ring_buffer_read_prepare()
can be considered since it means I don't need to duplicate more of the
core trace code into "trace_kdb.c" (for either creating my own
iterator or re-preparing a ring allocator whose memory was already
allocated).
NOTE: another option for kdb is to actually figure out how to make it
reuse the existing ftrace_dump() function and totally eliminate the
duplication. This sounds very appealing and actually works (the "sr
z" command can be seen to properly dump the ftrace buffer). The
downside here is that ftrace_dump() fully consumes the trace buffer.
Unless that is changed I'd rather not use it because it means "ftdump
| grep xyz" won't be very useful to search the ftrace buffer since it
will throw away the whole trace on the first grep. A future patch to
dump only the last few lines of the buffer will also be hard to
implement.

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.

In preparation to make trace options per instance, the global trace_flags
needs to be moved from being a global variable to a field within the trace
instance trace_array structure.
There's still more work to do, as there's some functions that use
trace_flags without passing in a way to get to the current_trace array. For
those, the global_trace is used directly (from trace.c). This includes
setting and clearing the trace_flags. This means that when a new instance is
created, it just gets the trace_flags of the global_trace and will not be
able to modify them. Depending on the functions that have access to the
trace_array, the flags of an instance may not affect parts of its trace,
where the global_trace is used. These will be fixed in future changes.

Currently kdb's ftdump command will livelock by constantly printk'ing
the empty string at KERN_EMERG level if it run when the ftrace system is
not in use. This occurs because trace_empty() never returns false when
the ring buffers are left at the start of a non-consuming read [launched
by ring_buffer_read_start()].
This patch changes the loop exit condition to use the result of
trace_find_next_entry_inc(). Effectively this switches the non-consuming
kdb dumper to follow the approach of the non-consuming userspace
interface [s_next()] rather than the consuming ftrace_dump().

The NULL deref occurs due to the initialized use of struct trace_iter's
buffer_iter member.
This is a regression, albeit a fairly elderly one. It was introduced
by commit 6d158a813efc ("tracing: Remove NR_CPUS array from
trace_iterator").
This patch solves this by providing a collection of ring_buffer_iter(s)
and using this to initialize buffer_iter. Note that static allocation
is used solely because the trace_iter itself is also static allocated.
Static allocation also means that we have to NULL-ify the pointer during
cleanup to avoid use-after-free problems.

dmesg, disable_nmi, defcmd, summary, grephelp
Mem read: md, mdr, mdp, mds, ef, bt (with args), per_cpu
Mem write: mm
Reg read: rd
Reg write: go (with args), rm

Currently, the way the latency tracers and snapshot feature works
is to have a separate trace_array called "max_tr" that holds the
snapshot buffer. For latency tracers, this snapshot buffer is used
to swap the running buffer with this buffer to save the current max
latency.
The only items needed for the max_tr is really just a copy of the buffer
itself, the per_cpu data pointers, the time_start timestamp that states
when the max latency was triggered, and the cpu that the max latency
was triggered on. All other fields in trace_array are unused by the
max_tr, making the max_tr mostly bloat.
This change removes the max_tr completely, and adds a new structure
called trace_buffer, that holds the buffer pointer, the per_cpu data
pointers, the time_start timestamp, and the cpu where the latency occurred.
The trace_array, now has two trace_buffers, one for the normal trace and
one for the max trace or snapshot. By doing this, not only do we remove
the bloat from the max_trace but the instances of traces can now use
their own snapshot feature and not have just the top level global_trace have
the snapshot feature and latency tracers for itself.

The global and max-tr currently use static per_cpu arrays for the CPU data
descriptors. But in order to get new allocated trace_arrays, they need to
be allocated per_cpu arrays. Instead of using the static arrays, switch
the global and max-tr to use allocated data.

Both RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS and TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU are defined as
-1 and used to say that all the ring buffers are to be modified
or read (instead of just a single cpu, which would be >= 0).
There's no reason to keep TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU as it is also started
to be used for more than what it was created for, and now that
the ring buffer code added a generic RING_BUFFER_ALL_CPUS define,
we can clean up the trace code to use that instead and remove
the TRACE_PIPE_ALL_CPU macro.
