- Hide get_vm_area() from MMUless builds The function get_vm_area() is not defined when CONFIG_MMU is not defined. Hide that function within #ifdef CONFIG_MMU. - Fix output of synthetic events when they have dynamic strings The print fmt of the synthetic event's format file use to have "%.*s" for dynamic size strings even though the user space exported arguments had only __get_str() macro that provided just a nul terminated string. This was fixed so that user space could parse this properly. But the reason that it had "%.*s" was because internally it provided the maximum size of the string as one of the arguments. The fix that replaced "%.*s" with "%s" caused the trace output (when the kernel reads the event) to write "(efault)" as it would now read the length of the string as "%s". As the string provided is always nul terminated, there's no reason for the internal code to use "%.*s" anyway. Just remove the length argument to match the "%s" that is now in the format. - Fix the ftrace subops hash logic of the manager ops hash The function_graph uses the ftrace subops code. The subops code is a way to have a single ftrace_ops registered with ftrace to determine what functions will call the ftrace_ops callback. More than one user of function graph can register a ftrace_ops with it. The function graph infrastructure will then add this ftrace_ops as a subops with the main ftrace_ops it registers with ftrace. This is because the functions will always call the function graph callback which in turn calls the subops ftrace_ops callbacks. The main ftrace_ops must add a callback to all the functions that the subops want a callback from. When a subops is registered, it will update the main ftrace_ops hash to include the functions it wants. This is the logic that was broken. The ftrace_ops hash has a "filter_hash" and a "notrace_hash" were all the functions in the filter_hash but not in the notrace_hash are attached by ftrace. The original logic would have the main ftrace_ops filter_hash be a union of all the subops filter_hashes and the main notrace_hash would be a intersect of all the subops filter hashes. But this was incorrect because the notrace hash depends on the filter_hash it is associated to and not the union of all filter_hashes. Instead, when a subops is added, just include all the functions of the subops hash that are in its filter_hash but not in its notrace_hash. The main subops hash should not use its notrace hash, unless all of its subops hashes have an empty filter_hash (which means to attach to all functions), and then, and only then, the main ftrace_ops notrace hash can be the intersect of all the subops hashes. This not only fixes the bug, but also simplifies the code. - Add a selftest to better test the subops filtering Add a selftest that would catch the bug fixed by the above change. - Fix extra newline printed in function tracing with retval The function parameter code changed the output logic slightly and called print_graph_retval() and also printed a newline. The print_graph_retval() also prints a newline which caused blank lines to be printed in the function graph tracer when retval was added. This caused one of the selftests to fail if retvals were enabled. Instead remove the new line output from print_graph_retval() and have the callers always print the new line so that it doesn't have to do special logic if it calls print_graph_retval() or not. - Fix out-of-bound memory access in the runtime verifier When rv_is_container_monitor() is called on the last entry on the link list it references the next entry, which is the list head and causes an out-of-bound memory access. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZ/rXQxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qoj7AQC0C2awpJSUIRj91qjPtMYuNUE3AVpB EEZEkt19LfE//gEA1fOx3Cors/LrY9dthn/3LMKL23vo9c4i0ffhs2X+1gE= =XJL5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-v6.15-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Hide get_vm_area() from MMUless builds The function get_vm_area() is not defined when CONFIG_MMU is not defined.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
