c26f4fbd58 Char/Misc/IIO pull request for 6.16-rc1
Here is the big char/misc/iio and other small driver subsystem pull
 request for 6.16-rc1.
 
 Overall, a lot of individual changes, but nothing major, just the normal
 constant forward progress of new device support and cleanups to existing
 subsystems.  Highlights in here are:
   - Large IIO driver updates and additions and device tree changes
   - Android binder bugfixes and logfile fixes
   - mhi driver updates
   - comedi driver updates
   - counter driver updates and additions
   - coresight driver updates and additions
   - echo driver removal as there are no in-kernel users of it
   - nvmem driver updates
   - spmi driver updates
   - new amd-sbi driver "subsystem" and drivers added
   - rust miscdriver binding documentation fix
   - other small driver fixes and updates (uio, w1, acrn, hpet, xillybus,
     cardreader drivers, fastrpc and others.)
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for quite a while with no reported
 problems.

b78f1293f9 tracing updates for v6.16:
- Have module addresses get updated in the persistent ring buffer
 
   The addresses of the modules from the previous boot are saved in the
   persistent ring buffer. If the same modules are loaded and an address is
   in the old buffer points to an address that was both saved in the
   persistent ring buffer and is loaded in memory, shift the address to point
   to the address that is loaded in memory in the trace event.
 
 - Print function names for irqs off and preempt off callsites
 
   When ignoring the print fmt of a trace event and just printing the fields
   directly, have the fields for preempt off and irqs off events still show
   the function name (via kallsyms) instead of just showing the raw address.
 
 - Clean ups of the histogram code
 
   The histogram functions saved over 800 bytes on the stack to process
   events as they come in. Instead, create per-cpu buffers that can hold this
   information and have a separate location for each context level (thread,
   softirq, IRQ and NMI).
 
   Also add some more comments to the code.
 
 - Add "common_comm" field for histograms
 
   Add "common_comm" that uses the current->comm as a field in an event
   histogram and acts like any of the other fields of the event.
 
 - Show "subops" in the enabled_functions file
 
   When the function graph infrastructure is used, a subsystem has a "subops"
   that it attaches its callback function to. Instead of the
   enabled_functions just showing a function calling the function that calls
   the subops functions, also show the subops functions that will get called
   for that function too.
 
 - Add "copy_trace_marker" option to instances
 
   There are cases where an instance is created for tooling to write into,
   but the old tooling has the top level instance hardcoded into the
   application. New tools want to consume the data from an instance and not
   the top level buffer. By adding a copy_trace_marker option, whenever the
   top instance trace_marker is written into, a copy of it is also written
   into the instance with this option set. This allows new tools to read what
   old tools are writing into the top buffer.
 
   If this option is cleared by the top instance, then what is written into
   the trace_marker is not written into the top instance. This is a way to
   redirect the trace_marker writes into another instance.
 
 - Have tracepoints created by DECLARE_TRACE() use trace_<name>_tp()
 
   If a tracepoint is created by DECLARE_TRACE() instead of TRACE_EVENT(),
   then it will not be exposed via tracefs. Currently there's no way to
   differentiate in the kernel the tracepoint functions between those that
   are exposed via tracefs or not. A calling convention has been made
   manually to append a "_tp" prefix for events created by DECLARE_TRACE().
   Instead of doing this manually, force it so that all DECLARE_TRACE()
   events have this notation.
 
 - Use __string() for task->comm in some sched events
 
   Instead of hardcoding the comm to be TASK_COMM_LEN in some of the
   scheduler events use __string() which makes it dynamic. Note, if these
   events are parsed by user space it they may break, and the event may have
   to be converted back to the hardcoded size.
 
 - Have function graph "depth" be unsigned to the user
 
   Internally to the kernel, the "depth" field of the function graph event is
   signed due to -1 being used for end of boundary. What actually gets
   recorded in the event itself is zero or positive. Reflect this to user
   space by showing "depth" as unsigned int and be consistent across all
   events.
 
 - Allow an arbitrary long CPU string to osnoise_cpus_write()
 
   The filtering of which CPUs to write to can exceed 256 bytes. If a machine
   has 256 CPUs, and the filter is to filter every other CPU, the write would
   take a string larger than 256 bytes. Instead of using a fixed size buffer
   on the stack that is 256 bytes, allocate it to handle what is passed in.
 
 - Stop having ftrace check the per-cpu data "disabled" flag
 
   The "disabled" flag in the data structure passed to most ftrace functions
   is checked to know if tracing has been disabled or not. This flag was
   added back in 2008 before the ring buffer had its own way to disable
   tracing. The "disable" flag is now not always set when needed, and the
   ring buffer flag should be used in all locations where the disabled is
   needed. Since the "disable" flag is redundant and incorrect, stop using it.
   Fix up some locations that use the "disable" flag to use the ring buffer
   info.
 
 - Use a new tracer_tracing_disable/enable() instead of data->disable flag
 
   There's a few cases that set the data->disable flag to stop tracing, but
   this flag is not consistently used. It is also an on/off switch where if a
   function set it and calls another function that sets it, the called
   function may incorrectly enable it.
 
   Use a new trace_tracing_disable() and tracer_tracing_enable() that uses a
   counter and can be nested. These use the ring buffer flags which are
   always checked making the disabling more consistent.
 
 - Save the trace clock in the persistent ring buffer
 
   Save what clock was used for tracing in the persistent ring buffer and set
   it back to that clock after a reboot.
 
 - Remove unused reference to a per CPU data pointer in mmiotrace functions
 
 - Remove unused buffer_page field from trace_array_cpu structure
 
 - Remove more strncpy() instances
 
 - Other minor clean ups and fixes

ac01fa73f5 tracepoint: Have tracepoints created with DECLARE_TRACE() have _tp suffix
Most tracepoints in the kernel are created with TRACE_EVENT(). The
TRACE_EVENT() macro (and DECLARE_EVENT_CLASS() and DEFINE_EVENT() where in
reality, TRACE_EVENT() is just a helper macro that calls those other two
macros), will create not only a tracepoint (the function trace_<event>()
used in the kernel), it also exposes the tracepoint to user space along
with defining what fields will be saved by that tracepoint.

There are a few places that tracepoints are created in the kernel that are
not exposed to userspace via tracefs. They can only be accessed from code
within the kernel. These tracepoints are created with DEFINE_TRACE()

Most of these tracepoints end with "_tp". This is useful as when the
developer sees that, they know that the tracepoint is for in-kernel only
(meaning it can only be accessed inside the kernel, either directly by the
kernel or indirectly via modules and BPF programs) and is not exposed to
user space.

Instead of making this only a process to add "_tp", enforce it by making
the DECLARE_TRACE() append the "_tp" suffix to the tracepoint. This
requires adding DECLARE_TRACE_EVENT() macros for the TRACE_EVENT() macro
to use that keeps the original name.

7b382efd5e tracing: Allow the top level trace_marker to write into another instances
There are applications that have it hard coded to write into the top level
trace_marker instance (/sys/kernel/tracing/trace_marker). This can be
annoying if a profiler is using that instance for other work, or if it
needs all writes to go into a new instance.

A new option is created called "copy_trace_marker". By default, the top
level has this set, as that is the default buffer that writing into the
top level trace_marker file will go to. But now if an instance is created
and sets this option, all writes into the top level trace_marker will also
be written into that instance buffer just as if an application were to
write into the instance's trace_marker file.

If the top level instance disables this option, then writes to its own
trace_marker and trace_marker_raw files will not go into its buffer.

If no instance has this option set, then the write will return an error
and errno will contain ENODEV.

6cb0bd94c0 Persistent buffer cleanups and simplifications for v6.15:
It was mistaken that the physical memory returned from "reserve_mem" had to
 be vmap()'d to get to it from a virtual address. But reserve_mem already
 maps the memory to the virtual address of the kernel so a simple
 phys_to_virt() can be used to get to the virtual address from the physical
 memory returned by "reserve_mem". With this new found knowledge, the
 code can be cleaned up and simplified.
 
 - Enforce that the persistent memory is page aligned
 
   As the buffers using the persistent memory are all going to be
   mapped via pages, make sure that the memory given to the tracing
   infrastructure is page aligned. If it is not, it will print a warning
   and fail to map the buffer.
 
 - Use phys_to_virt() to get the virtual address from reserve_mem
 
   Instead of calling vmap() on the physical memory returned from
   "reserve_mem", use phys_to_virt() instead.
 
   As the memory returned by "memmap" or any other means where a physical
   address is given to the tracing infrastructure, it still needs to
   be vmap(). Since this memory can never be returned back to the buddy
   allocator nor should it ever be memmory mapped to user space, flag
   this buffer and up the ref count. The ref count will keep it from
   ever being freed, and the flag will prevent it from ever being memory
   mapped to user space.
 
 - Use vmap_page_range() for memmap virtual address mapping
 
   For the memmap buffer, instead of allocating an array of struct pages,
   assigning them to the contiguous phsycial memory and then passing that to
   vmap(), use vmap_page_range() instead
 
 - Replace flush_dcache_folio() with flush_kernel_vmap_range()
 
   Instead of calling virt_to_folio() and passing that to
   flush_dcache_folio(), just call flush_kernel_vmap_range() directly.
   This also fixes a bug where if a subbuffer was bigger than PAGE_SIZE
   only the PAGE_SIZE portion would be flushed.

     warning and fail to map the buffer.

   - Use phys_to_virt() to get the virtual address from reserve_mem

     Instead of calling vmap() on the physical memory returned from
     "reserve_mem", use phys_to_virt() instead.

     As the memory returned by "memmap" or any other means where a
     physical address is given to the tracing infrastructure, it still
     needs to be vmap(). Since this memory can never be returned back to
     the buddy allocator nor should it ever be memmory mapped to user
     space, flag this buffer and up the ref count. The ref count will
     keep it from ever being freed, and the flag will prevent it from
     ever being memory mapped to user space.

   - Use vmap_page_range() for memmap virtual address mapping

     For the memmap buffer, instead of allocating an array of struct
     pages, assigning them to the contiguous phsycial memory and then
     passing that to vmap(), use vmap_page_range() instead

   - Replace flush_dcache_folio() with flush_kernel_vmap_range()

     Instead of calling virt_to_folio() and passing that to
     flush_dcache_folio(), just call flush_kernel_vmap_range() directly.
     This also fixes a bug where if a subbuffer was bigger than
     PAGE_SIZE only the PAGE_SIZE portion would be flushed"

88221ac0d5 Latency tracing changes for v6.15:
- Add some trace events to osnoise and timerlat sample generation
 
   This adds more information to the osnoise and timerlat tracers as well as
   allows BPF programs to be attached to these locations to extract even more
   data.
 
 - Fix to DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION() macro
 
   It wasn't used but now will be and it happened to be broken causing the
   build to fail.
 
 - Add scheduler specification monitors to runtime verifier (RV)
 
   This is a continuation of Daniel Bristot's work.
 
   RV allows monitors to run and react concurrently. Running the cumulative
   model is equivalent to running single components using the same
   reactors, with the advantage that it's easier to point out which
   specification failed in case of error.
 
   This update introduces nested monitors to RV, in short, the sysfs
   monitor folder will contain a monitor named sched, which is nothing but
   an empty container for other monitors. Controlling the sched monitor
   (enable, disable, set reactors) controls all nested monitors.
 
   The following scheduling monitors are added:
 
   * sco: scheduling context operations
       Monitor to ensure sched_set_state happens only in thread context
   * tss: task switch while scheduling
       Monitor to ensure sched_switch happens only in scheduling context
   * snroc: set non runnable on its own context

e8744fbc83 tracing updates for v6.14:
- Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
 
   There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the
   error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
   allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
   guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
   memory when the function exits.
 
 - Update the Rust tracepoint code to use the C code too
 
   There was some duplication of the tracepoint code for Rust that did the
   same logic as the C code. Add a helper that makes it possible for both
   algorithms to use the same logic in one place.
 
 - Add poll to trace event hist files
 
   It is useful to know when an event is triggered, or even with some
   filtering. Since hist files of events get updated when active and the
   event is triggered, allow applications to poll the hist file and wake up
   when an event is triggered. This will let the application know that the
   event it is waiting for happened.
 
 - Add :mod: command to enable events for current or future modules
 
   The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be traced in
   modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter. That will
   enable either all the functions for the module if it is loaded, or if it
   is not, it will cache that command, and when the module is loaded that
   matches <module>, its functions will be enabled. This also allows init
   functions to be traced. But currently events do not have that feature.
 
   Add the command where if ':mod:<module>' is written into set_event, then
   either all the modules events are enabled if it is loaded, or cache it so
   that the module's events are enabled when it is loaded. This also works
   from the kernel command line, where "trace_event=:mod:<module>", when the
   module is loaded at boot up, its events will be enabled then.

2e04247f7c ftrace updates for v6.14:
- Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure
 
   The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
   functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function. The
   fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the function
   graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to hijack the
   return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace when the function
   exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be created to store the
   original return address.  Fprobes and function graph do this slightly
   differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has slots per callsite that are
   reserved to save the return address. This is fine when just a few points
   are traced. But users of fprobes, such as BPF programs, are starting to add
   many more locations, and this method does not scale.
 
   The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
   kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started, every
   task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that is going to
   be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to allow multiple
   users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be one of those users.
   This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe methods to trace the
   return address to become obsolete. With new technologies like CFI that
   need to know about these methods of hijacking the return address, going
   toward a solution that has only one method of doing this will make the
   kernel less complex.
 
 - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers
 
   There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in the
   error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was

Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Have fprobes built on top of function graph infrastructure

   The fprobe logic is an optimized kprobe that uses ftrace to attach to
   functions when a probe is needed at the start or end of the function.
   The fprobe and kretprobe logic implements a similar method as the
   function graph tracer to trace the end of the function. That is to
   hijack the return address and jump to a trampoline to do the trace
   when the function exits. To do this, a shadow stack needs to be
   created to store the original return address. Fprobes and function
   graph do this slightly differently. Fprobes (and kretprobes) has
   slots per callsite that are reserved to save the return address. This
   is fine when just a few points are traced. But users of fprobes, such
   as BPF programs, are starting to add many more locations, and this
   method does not scale.

   The function graph tracer was created to trace all functions in the
   kernel. In order to do this, when function graph tracing is started,
   every task gets its own shadow stack to hold the return address that
   is going to be traced. The function graph tracer has been updated to
   allow multiple users to use its infrastructure. Now have fprobes be
   one of those users. This will also allow for the fprobe and kretprobe
   methods to trace the return address to become obsolete. With new
   technologies like CFI that need to know about these methods of
   hijacking the return address, going toward a solution that has only
   one method of doing this will make the kernel less complex.

 - Cleanup with guard() and free() helpers

   There were several places in the code that had a lot of "goto out" in
   the error paths to either unlock a lock or free some memory that was
   allocated. But this is error prone. Convert the code over to use the
   guard() and free() helpers that let the compiler unlock locks or free
   memory when the function exits.

 - Remove disabling of interrupts in the function graph tracer

   When function graph tracer was first introduced, it could race with
   interrupts and NMIs. To prevent that race, it would disable
   interrupts and not trace NMIs. But the code has changed to allow NMIs
   and also interrupts. This change was done a long time ago, but the
   disabling of interrupts was never removed. Remove the disabling of
   interrupts in the function graph tracer is it is not needed. This
   greatly improves its performance.

 - Allow the :mod: command to enable tracing module functions on the
   kernel command line.

   The function tracer already has a way to enable functions to be
   traced in modules by writing ":mod:<module>" into set_ftrace_filter.
   That will enable either all the functions for the module if it is
   loaded, or if it is not, it will cache that command, and when the
   module is loaded that matches <module>, its functions will be
   enabled. This also allows init functions to be traced. But currently
   events do not have that feature.

   Because enabling function tracing can be done very early at boot up
   (before scheduling is enabled), the commands that can be done when
   function tracing is started is limited. Having the ":mod:" command to
   trace module functions as they are loaded is very useful. Update the
   kernel command line function filtering to allow it.

b355247df1 tracing: Cache ":mod:" events for modules not loaded yet
When the :mod: command is written into /sys/kernel/tracing/set_event (or
that file within an instance), if the module specified after the ":mod:"
is not yet loaded, it will store that string internally. When the module
is loaded, it will enable the events as if the module was loaded when the
string was written into the set_event file.

This can also be useful to enable events that are in the init section of
the module, as the events are enabled before the init section is executed.

This also works on the kernel command line:

 trace_event=:mod:<module>

Will enable the events for <module> when it is loaded.

Add a :mod: command to enable only events from a given module from the

  echo '*:mod:<module>' > set_events

Or

  echo ':mod:<module>' > set_events

Will enable all events for that module. Specific events can also be
enabled via:

  echo '<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events

Or

  echo '<system>:<event>:mod:<module>' > set_events

Or

The ":mod:" keyword is consistent with the function tracing filter to
enable functions from a given module.

06afb0f361 tracing updates for v6.13:
- Addition of faultable tracepoints
 
   There's a tracepoint attached to both a system call entry and exit. This
   location is known to allow page faults. The tracepoints are called under
   an rcu_read_lock() which does not allow faults that can sleep. This limits
   the ability of tracepoint handlers to page fault in user space system call
   parameters. Now these tracepoints have been made "faultable", allowing the
   callbacks to fault in user space parameters and record them.
 
   Note, only the infrastructure has been implemented. The consumers (perf,
   ftrace, BPF) now need to have their code modified to allow faults.
 
 - Fix up of BPF code for the tracepoint faultable logic
 
 - Update tracepoints to use the new static branch API
 
 - Remove trace_*_rcuidle() variants and the SRCU protection they used
 
 - Remove unused TRACE_EVENT_FL_FILTERED logic
 
 - Replace strncpy() with strscpy() and memcpy()
 
 - Use replace per_cpu_ptr(smp_processor_id()) with this_cpu_ptr()
 
 - Fix perf events to not duplicate samples when tracing is enabled
 
 - Replace atomic64_add_return(1, counter) with atomic64_inc_return(counter)
 
 - Make stack trace buffer 4K instead of PAGE_SIZE
 
 - Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT flag as it was never used
 
 - Get the true return address for function tracer when function graph tracer
   is also running.
 
   When function_graph trace is running along with function tracer,
   the parent function of the function tracer sometimes is
   "return_to_handler", which is the function graph trampoline to record
   the exit of the function. Use existing logic that calls into the
   fgraph infrastructure to find the real return address.
 
 - Remove (un)regfunc pointers out of tracepoint structure
 
 - Added last minute bug fix for setting pending modules in stack function
   filter.
 
   echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
 
   Would cause a kernel NULL dereference.
 
 - Minor clean ups

e9f0a36347 tracing: Remove TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT
It was possible to enable tracing with no IRQ tracing support. The
tracing infrastructure would then record TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT as
the only tracing flag and show an 'X' in the output.

The last user of this feature was PPC32 which managed to implement it
during PowerPC merge in 2009. Since then, it was unused and the PPC32
dependency was finally removed in commit 0ea5ee0351 ("tracing: Remove
PPC32 wart from config TRACING_SUPPORT").
Since the PowerPC merge the code behind !CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT
with TRACING enabled can no longer be selected used and the 'X' is not
displayed or recorded.

Remove the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT from the tracing code. Remove
TRACE_FLAG_IRQS_NOSUPPORT.

ef2bd81d0c tracing: Add option to set an instance to be the trace_printk destination
Add a option "trace_printk_dest" that will make the tracing instance the
location that trace_printk() will go to. This is useful if the
trace_printk or one of the top level tracers is too noisy and there's a
need to separate the two. Then an instance can be created, the
trace_printk can be set to go there instead, where it will not be lost in
the noise of the top level tracer.

Note, only one instance can be the destination of trace_printk at a time.
If an instance sets this flag, the instance that had it set will have it
cleared. There is always one instance that has this set. By default, that
is the top instance. This flag cannot be cleared from the top instance.
Doing so will result in an -EINVAL. The only way this flag can be cleared
from the top instance is by another instance setting it.

70045bfc4c ftrace: Rewrite of function graph tracer
Up until now, the function graph tracer could only have a single user
 attached to it. If another user tried to attach to the function graph
 tracer while one was already attached, it would fail. Allowing function
 graph tracer to have more than one user has been asked for since 2009, but
 it required a rewrite to the logic to pull it off so it never happened.
 Until now!
 
 There's three systems that trace the return of a function. That is
 kretprobes, function graph tracer, and BPF. kretprobes and function graph
 tracing both do it similarly. The difference is that kretprobes uses a
 shadow stack per callback and function graph tracer creates a shadow stack
 for all tasks. The function graph tracer method makes it possible to trace
 the return of all functions. As kretprobes now needs that feature too,
 allowing it to use function graph tracer was needed. BPF also wants to
 trace the return of many probes and its method doesn't scale either.
 Having it use function graph tracer would improve that.
 
 By allowing function graph tracer to have multiple users allows both
 kretprobes and BPF to use function graph tracer in these cases. This will
 allow kretprobes code to be removed in the future as it's version will no
 longer be needed. Note, function graph tracer is only limited to 16
 simultaneous users, due to shadow stack size and allocated slots.

53683e4080 tracing ring buffer updates for v6.10:
- Add ring_buffer memory mappings
 
   The tracing ring buffer was created based on being mostly used with the
   splice system call. It is broken up into page ordered sub-buffers and the
   reader swaps a new sub-buffer with an existing sub-buffer that's part
   of the write buffer. It then has total access to the swapped out
   sub-buffer and can do copyless movements of the memory into other mediums
   (file system, network, etc).
 
   The buffer is great for passing around the ring buffer contents in the
   kernel, but is not so good for when the consumer is the user space task
   itself.
 
   A new interface is added that allows user space to memory map the ring
   buffer. It will get all the write sub-buffers as well as reader sub-buffer
   (that is not written to). It can send an ioctl to change which sub-buffer
   is the new reader sub-buffer.
 
   The ring buffer is read only to user space. It only needs to call the
   ioctl when it is finished with a sub-buffer and needs a new sub-buffer
   that the writer will not write over.
 
   A self test program was also created for testing and can be used as
   an example for the interface to user space. The libtracefs (external
   to the kernel) also has code that interacts with this, although it is
   disabled until the interface is in a official release. It can be enabled
   by compiling the library with a special flag. This was used for testing
   applications that perform better with the buffer being mapped.
 
   Memory mapped buffers have limitations. The main one is that it can not be
   used with the snapshot logic. If the buffer is mapped, snapshots will be
   disabled. If any logic is set to trigger snapshots on a buffer, that
   buffer will not be allowed to be mapped.

a2ded784cd tracing updates for 6.8:
- Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are created
   Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it can
   use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care about the
   thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the sub-system to specify
   what sub-systems of events it cares about, and only those events are exposed
   to this instance.
 
 - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than just the
   architecture page size. A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb"
   is created. The user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be
   in kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the sub-buffer
   size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user only writes in
   kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to the next size that
   it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in 10, it will change the
   size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is the next available size that
   can hold 10K pages.
 
 - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring buffer.
   If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a debug config
   options that will dump the contents of the meta data of the sub-buffer that
   is used for debugging. Add some more information to this dump that helps
   with debugging.
 
 - Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is enabled)
 
 - Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes.
 
 - Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just under
   2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold).
 
 - Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can hold.
 
 - Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has been
   removed.
 
 - More selftests were added.
 
 - Some code clean ups as well.

Merge tag 'trace-v6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are
   created

   Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it
   can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care
   about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the
   sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and
   only those events are exposed to this instance.

 - Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than
   just the architecture page size.

   A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The
   user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in
   kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the
   sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user
   only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to
   the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in
   10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is
   the next available size that can hold 10K pages.

 - Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring
   buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a
   debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of
   the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information
   to this dump that helps with debugging.

 - Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is
   enabled)

 - Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes.

 - Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just
   under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold).

 - Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can
   hold.

 - Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has
   been removed.

 - More selftests were added.

 - Some code clean ups as well.

296455ade1 Char/Misc and other Driver changes for 6.8-rc1
Here is the big set of char/misc and other driver subsystem changes for
 6.8-rc1.  Lots of stuff in here, but first off, you will get a merge
 conflict in drivers/android/binder_alloc.c when merging this tree due to
 changing coming in through the -mm tree.
 
 The resolution of the merge issue can be found here:
 	https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231207134213.25631ae9@canb.auug.org.au
 or in a simpler patch form in that thread:
 	https://lore.kernel.org/r/ZXHzooF07LfQQYiE@google.com
 
 If there are issues with the merge of this file, please let me know.
 
 Other than lots of binder driver changes (as you can see by the merge
 conflicts) included in here are:
  - lots of iio driver updates and additions
  - spmi driver updates
  - eeprom driver updates
  - firmware driver updates
  - ocxl driver updates
  - mhi driver updates
  - w1 driver updates
  - nvmem driver updates
  - coresight driver updates
  - platform driver remove callback api changes
  - tags.sh script updates
  - bus_type constant marking cleanups
  - lots of other small driver updates
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues
 (other than the binder merge conflict.)
