Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:

 - Remove code I accidentally applied when doing a minor fix up to a
   patch, and then using "git commit -a --amend", which pulled in some
   other changes I was playing with.

 - Remove an used variable in trace_events_inject code

 - Fix function graph tracer when it traces a ftrace direct function.
   It will now ignore tracing a function that has a ftrace direct
   tramploine attached. This is needed for eBPF to use the ftrace direct
   code.

Depending on type of BPF programs served by BPF trampoline it can call original
function. In such case the trampoline will skip one stack frame while
returning. That will confuse function_graph tracer and will cause crashes with
bad RIP. Teach graph tracer to skip functions that have BPF trampoline attached.

Pull more tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "Two fixes and one patch that was missed:

  Fixes:

   - Missing __print_hex_dump undef for processing new function in trace
     events

   - Stop WARN_ON messages when lockdown disables tracing on boot up

  Enhancement:

   - Debug option to inject trace events from userspace (for rasdaemon)"

The enhancement has its own config option and is non invasive. It's been
discussed for sever months and should have been added to my original
push, but I never pulled it into my queue.

If lockdown is disabling tracing on boot up, it prevents the tracing files
from even bering created. But when that happens, there's several places that
will give a warning that the files were not created as that is usually a
sign of a bug.

Add in strategic locations where a check is made to see if tracing is
disabled by lockdown, and if it is, do not go further, and fail silently
(but print that tracing is disabled by lockdown, without doing a WARN_ON()).

  work-&gt;irq_work.flags into an atomic variable and then convert the
  complex (and buggy) atomic_cmpxchg() loop in irq_work_claim() into a

We have been trying to use rasdaemon to monitor hardware errors like
correctable memory errors. rasdaemon uses trace events to monitor
various hardware errors. In order to test it, we have to inject some
hardware errors, unfortunately not all of them provide error
injections. MCE does provide a way to inject MCE errors, but errors
like PCI error and devlink error don't, it is not easy to add error
injection to each of them. Instead, it is relatively easier to just
allow users to inject trace events in a generic way so that all trace
events can be injected.

This patch introduces trace event injection, where a new 'inject' is
added to each tracepoint directory. Users could write into this file
with key=value pairs to specify the value of each fields of the trace
event, all unspecified fields are set to zero values by default.

For example, for the net/net_dev_queue tracepoint, we can inject:

  INJECT=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/inject
  echo "" &gt; $INJECT
  echo "name='test'" &gt; $INJECT
  echo "name='test' len=1024" &gt; $INJECT
  cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
  ...
   &lt;...&gt;-614   [000] ....    36.571483: net_dev_queue: dev= skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=0
   &lt;...&gt;-614   [001] ....   136.588252: net_dev_queue: dev=test skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=0
   &lt;...&gt;-614   [001] .N..   208.431878: net_dev_queue: dev=test skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=1024

Triggers could be triggered as usual too:

  echo "stacktrace if len == 1025" &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/net_dev_queue/trigger
  echo "len=1025" &gt; $INJECT
  cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
  ...
      bash-614   [000] ....    36.571483: net_dev_queue: dev= skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=0
      bash-614   [001] ....   136.588252: net_dev_queue: dev=test skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=0
      bash-614   [001] .N..   208.431878: net_dev_queue: dev=test skbaddr=00000000fbf338c2 len=1024
      bash-614   [001] .N.1   284.236349: &lt;stack trace&gt;
 =&gt; event_inject_write
 =&gt; vfs_write
 =&gt; ksys_write
 =&gt; do_syscall_64
 =&gt; entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe

The only thing that can't be injected is string pointers as they
require constant string pointers, this can't be done at run time.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "New tracing features:

   - New PERMANENT flag to ftrace_ops when attaching a callback to a
     function.

     As /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled when set to zero will disable
     all attached callbacks in ftrace, this has a detrimental impact on
     live kernel tracing, as it disables all that it patched. If a
     ftrace_ops is registered to ftrace with the PERMANENT flag set, it
     will prevent ftrace_enabled from being disabled, and if
     ftrace_enabled is already disabled, it will prevent a ftrace_ops
     with PREMANENT flag set from being registered.

   - New register_ftrace_direct().

     As eBPF would like to register its own trampolines to be called by
     the ftrace nop locations directly, without going through the ftrace
     trampoline, this function has been added. This allows for eBPF
     trampolines to live along side of ftrace, perf, kprobe and live
     patching. It also utilizes the ftrace enabled_functions file that
     keeps track of functions that have been modified in the kernel, to
     allow for security auditing.

   - Allow for kernel internal use of ftrace instances.

     Subsystems in the kernel can now create and destroy their own
     tracing instances which allows them to have their own tracing
     buffer, and be able to record events without worrying about other
     users from writing over their data.

   - New seq_buf_hex_dump() that lets users use the hex_dump() in their
     seq_buf usage.

   - Notifications now added to tracing_max_latency to allow user space
     to know when a new max latency is hit by one of the latency
     tracers.

   - Wider spread use of generic compare operations for use of bsearch
     and friends.

   - More synthetic event fields may be defined (32 up from 16)

   - Use of xarray for architectures with sparse system calls, for the
     system call trace events.

  This along with small clean ups and fixes"

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.5-rc1

  There's a few minor cleanups and fixes in here, but the majority of
  the patches in here fall into two buckets:

   - debugfs api cleanups and fixes

   - driver core device link support for boot dependancy issues

  The debugfs api cleanups are working to slowly refactor the debugfs
  apis so that it is even harder to use incorrectly. That work has been
  happening for the past few kernel releases and will continue over
  time, it's a long-term project/goal

  The driver core device link support missed 5.4 by just a bit, so it's
  been sitting and baking for many months now. It's from Saravana Kannan
  to help resolve the problems that DT-based systems have at boot time
  with dependancy graphs and kernel modules. Turns out that no one has
  actually tried to build a generic arm64 kernel with loads of modules
  and have it "just work" for a variety of platforms (like a distro
  kernel). The big problem turned out to be a lack of dependency
  information between different areas of DT entries, and the work here
  resolves that problem and now allows devices to boot properly, and
  quicker than a monolith kernel.

  All of these patches have been in linux-next for a long time with no
  reported issues"
