      Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
       "User events:
      
         - Use long instead of int for storing the enable set/clear bit, as it
           was found that big endian machines could end up using the wrong
           bits.
      
         - Split allocating mm and attaching it. This keeps the allocation
           separate from the registration and avoids various races.
      
         - Remove RCU locking around pin_user_pages_remote() as that can
           schedule. The RCU protection is no longer needed with the above
           split of mm allocation and attaching.
      
         - Rename the "link" fields of the various structs to something more
           meaningful.
      
         - Add comments around user_event_mm struct usage and locking
           requirements.
      
        Timerlat tracer:
      
         - Fix missed wakeup of timerlat thread caused by the timerlat
           interrupt triggering when tracing is off. The timer interrupt
           handler needs to always wake up the timerlat thread regardless if
           tracing is enabled or not, otherwise, it will never wake up.
      
        Histograms:
      
         - Fix regression of breaking the "stacktrace" modifier for variables.
           That modifier cannot be used for values, but can be used for
           variables that are passed from one histogram to the next. This was
           broken when adding the restriction to values as the variable logic
           used the same code.
      
         - Rename the special field "stacktrace" to "common_stacktrace".
      
           Special fields (that are not actually part of the event, but can
           act just like event fields, like 'comm' and 'timestamp') should be
           prefixed with 'common_' for consistency. To keep backward
           compatibility, 'stacktrace' can still be used (as with the special
           field 'cpu'), but can be overridden if the event has a field called
           'stacktrace'.
      
         - Update the synthetic event selftests to use the new name (synthetic
           events are created by histograms)
      
        Tracing bootup selftests:
      
         - Reorganize the code to keep artifacts of the selftests not compiled
           in when selftests are not configured.
      
         - Add various cond_resched() around the selftest code, as the
           softlock watchdog was triggering much more often. It appears that
           the kernel runs slower now with full debugging enabled.
      
         - While debugging ftrace with ftrace (using an instance ring buffer
           instead of the top level one), I found that the selftests were
           disabling prints to the debug instance.
      
           This should not happen, as the selftests only disable printing to
           the main buffer as the selftests examine the main buffer to see if
           it has what it expects, and prints can make the tests fail.
      
           Make the selftests only disable printing to the toplevel buffer,
           and leave the instance buffers alone"

      Revert "module: error out early on concurrent load of the same module file" · ac2263b5
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This reverts commit 9828ed3f.
      
      Sadly, it does seem to cause failures to load modules. Johan Hovold reports:
      
       "This change breaks module loading during boot on the Lenovo Thinkpad
        X13s (aarch64).
      
        Specifically it results in indefinite probe deferral of the display
        and USB (ethernet) which makes it a pain to debug. Typing in the dark
        to acquire some logs reveals that other modules are missing as well"
      
      Since this was applied late as a "let's try this", I'm reverting it
      asap, and we can try to figure out what goes wrong later.  The excessive
      parallel module loading problem is annoying, but not noticeable in
      normal situations, and this was only meant as an optimistic workaround
      for a user-space bug.
      
      One possible solution may be to do the optimistic exclusive open first,
      and then use a lock to serialize loading if that fails.

      tracing: Have function_graph selftest call cond_resched() · a2d910f0
      Steven Rostedt (Google) authored
      When all kernel debugging is enabled (lockdep, KSAN, etc), the function
      graph enabling and disabling can take several seconds to complete. The
      function_graph selftest enables and disables function graph tracing
      several times. With full debugging enabled, the soft lockup watchdog was
      triggering because the selftest was running without ever scheduling.
      
      Add cond_resched() throughout the test to make sure it does not trigger
      the soft lockup detector.

      tracing: Only make selftest conditionals affect the global_trace · ac9d2cb1
      Steven Rostedt (Google) authored
      The tracing_selftest_running and tracing_selftest_disabled variables were
      to keep trace_printk() and other writes from affecting the tracing
      selftests, as the tracing selftests would examine the ring buffer to see
      if it contained what it expected or not. trace_printk() and friends could
      add to the ring buffer and cause the selftests to fail (and then disable
      the tracer that was being tested). To keep that from happening, these
      variables were added and would keep trace_printk() and friends from
      writing to the ring buffer while the tests were going on.
      
      But this was only the top level ring buffer (owned by the global_trace
      instance). There is no reason to prevent writing into ring buffers of
      other instances via the trace_array_printk() and friends. For the
      functions that could be used by other instances, check if the global_trace
      is the tracer instance that is being written to before deciding to not
      allow the write.
