Add trace_event_file access APIs for trace_probe data structure.
This simplifies enabling/disabling operations in uprobe and kprobe
events so that those don't touch deep inside the trace_probe.
This also removing a redundant synchronization when the
kprobe event is used from perf, since the perf itself uses
tracepoint_synchronize_unregister() after disabling (ftrace-
defined) event, thus we don't have to synchronize in that
path. Also we don't need to identify local trace_kprobe too
anymore.

Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments
to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space.
The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value.
+|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>)
e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si))
For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy,
param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new
probe as below;
p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3)
Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the
dereference method automatically because we do not know whether
the given address is in userspace or kernel on some archs.
So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to
carefully choose the dereference method.

Add "ustring" type for fetching user-space string from kprobe event.
User can specify ustring type at uprobe event, and it is same as
"string" for uprobe.
Note that probe-event provides this option but it doesn't choose the
correct type automatically since we have not way to decide the address
is in user-space or not on some arch (and on some other arch, you can
fetch the string by "string" type). So user must carefully check the
target code (e.g. if you see __user on the target variable) and
use this new type.

Since commit 533059281e ("tracing: probeevent: Introduce new
argument fetching code") dropped the $comm support from uprobe
events, this re-enables it.
For $comm support, uses strlcpy() instead of strncpy_from_user()
to copy current task's comm. Because it is in the kernel space,
strncpy_from_user() always fails to copy the comm.
This also uses strlen() instead of strnlen_user() to measure the
length of the comm.
Note that this uses -ECOMM as a token value to fetch the comm
string. If the user-space pointer points -ECOMM, it will be
translated to task->comm.

Allow kprobe-events to record module symbols.
Since data symbols in a non-loaded module doesn't exist, it fails to
define such symbol as an argument of kprobe-event. But if the kprobe
event is defined on that module, we can defer to resolve the symbol
address.
Note that if given symbol is not found, the event is kept unavailable.
User can enable it but the event is not recorded.

Add array type support for probe events.
This allows user to get arraied types from memory address.
The array type syntax is
TYPE[N]
Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64,
x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less
than 64.
The string array type is a bit different from other types. For
other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type>
(e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not
equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array",
but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example,
+0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

Replace {k,u}probe event argument fetching framework with switch-case based.
Currently that is implemented with structures, macros and chain of
function-pointers, which is more complicated than necessary and may get a
performance penalty by retpoline.
This simplify that with an array of "fetch_insn" (opcode and oprands), and
make process_fetch_insn() just interprets it. No function pointers are used.

Check whether error injectable event is on function entry or not.
Currently it checks the event is ftrace-based kprobes or not,
but that is wrong. It should check if the event is on the entry
of target function. Since error injection will override a function
to just return with modified return value, that operation must
be done before the target function starts making stackframe.
As a side effect, bpf error injection is no need to depend on
function-tracer. It can work with sw-breakpoint based kprobe
events too.

Error injection is sloppy and very ad-hoc. BPF could fill this niche
perfectly with it's kprobe functionality. We could make sure errors are
only triggered in specific call chains that we care about with very
specific situations. Accomplish this with the bpf_override_funciton
helper. This will modify the probe'd callers return value to the
specified value and set the PC to an override function that simply
returns, bypassing the originally probed function. This gives us a nice
clean way to implement systematic error injection for all of our code
paths.

traceprobe_probes_write() and traceprobe_command() actually contain
nothing that ties them to kprobes - the code is generically useful for
similar types of parsing elsewhere, so separate it out and move it to
trace.c/trace.h.
Other than moving it, the only change is in naming:
traceprobe_probes_write() becomes trace_parse_run_command() and
traceprobe_command() becomes trace_run_command().

ftrace is very quick to give up on saving the task command line (see
`trace_save_cmdline()`). The workaround for events which really care
about the command line is to explicitly assign it as part of the entry.
However, this doesn't work for kprobe events, as there's no
straightforward way to get access to current->comm. Add a kprobe/uprobe
event variable $comm which provides exactly that.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
"Some clean ups and small fixes, but the biggest change is the addition
of the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro that can be used by tracepoints.
Tracepoints have helper functions for the TP_printk() called
__print_symbolic() and __print_flags() that lets a numeric number be
displayed as a a human comprehensible text. What is placed in the
TP_printk() is also shown in the tracepoint format file such that user
space tools like perf and trace-cmd can parse the binary data and
express the values too. Unfortunately, the way the TRACE_EVENT()
macro works, anything placed in the TP_printk() will be shown pretty
much exactly as is. The problem arises when enums are used. That's
because unlike macros, enums will not be changed into their values by
the C pre-processor. Thus, the enum string is exported to the format
file, and this makes it useless for user space tools.
The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() solves this by converting the enum strings in
the TP_printk() format into their number, and that is what is shown to
user space. For example, the tracepoint tlb_flush currently has this
in its format file:
__print_symbolic(REC->reason,
{ TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" },
{ TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" },
{ TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" },
{ TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" })
After adding:
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH);
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN);
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN);
TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN);
Its format file will contain this:
__print_symbolic(REC->reason,
{ 0, "flush on task switch" },
{ 1, "remote shootdown" },
{ 2, "local shootdown" },
{ 3, "local mm shootdown" })"

The commit that added a check for this to checkpatch says:
"Using weak declarations can have unintended link defects. The __weak on
the declaration causes non-weak definitions to become weak."
In this case, when a PowerPC kernel is built with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT
but not CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT, it generates the following warning:
WARNING: 1 bad relocations
c0000000014f2190 R_PPC64_ADDR64 uprobes_fetch_type_table
This is fixed by passing the fetch_table arrays to
traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() which also means that they can never be NULL.

debugfs was fine for the tracing facility as a quick way to get
an interface. Now that tracing has matured, it should separate itself
from debugfs such that it can be mounted separately without needing
to mount all of debugfs with it. That is, users resist using tracing
because it requires mounting debugfs. Having tracing have its own file
system lets users get the features of tracing without needing to bring
in the rest of the kernel's debug infrastructure.
Another reason for tracefs is that debubfs does not support mkdir.
Currently, to create instances, one does a mkdir in the tracing/instance
directory. This is implemented via a hack that forces debugfs to do
something it is not intended on doing. By converting over to tracefs, this
hack can be removed and mkdir can be properly implemented. This patch does
not address this yet, but it lays the ground work for that to be done.

Support multi-buffer on uprobe-based dynamic events by
using ftrace_event_file.
This patch is based kprobe-based dynamic events multibuffer
support work initially, commited by Masami(commit 41a7dd420c),
but revised as below:
Oleg changed the kprobe-based multibuffer design from
array-pointers of ftrace_event_file into simple list,
so this patch also change to the list design.
rcu_read_lock/unlock added into uprobe_trace_func/uretprobe_trace_func,
to synchronize with ftrace_event_file list add and delete.
Even though we allow multi-uprobes instances now,
but TP_FLAG_PROFILE/TP_FLAG_TRACE are still mutually exclusive
in probe_event_enable currently, this means we cannot allow
one user is using uprobe-tracer, and another user is using
perf-probe on same uprobe concurrently.
(Perhaps this will be fix in future, kprobe don't have this
limitation now)

It was due to the fetch methods are referred from CHECK_FETCH_FUNCS
macro and since it was only defined in trace_kprobe.c. Move NULL
definition of such fetch functions to the header file.
Note, it also requires CONFIG_BRANCH_PROFILING enabled to trigger
this failure as well. This is because the "fetch_symbol_*" variables
are referenced in a "else if" statement that will only call
update_symbol_cache(), which is a static inline stub function
when CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT is not enabled. gcc is smart enough
to optimize this "else if" out and that also removes the code that
references the undefined variables.
But when BRANCH_PROFILING is enabled, it fools gcc into keeping
the if statement around and thus references the undefined symbols
and fails to build.
